The Earl of Liveeruoc presented II Copy of the
Treaty of Pewee, Friendship, and Alliance, enter-

Majesty mud the Government of Spain, which was
ordered to he laid on the Table.
SIR JOHN MOORE'S LETTER.
The Earl of bAnNix.v considered it his duty to
call fur the production of a letter elates' by Sir
John Moore to Lord Castlereagh, which, its his
optteme was necessary, wait the otl.er papers al-
ready moved fur, to ussist the House its.decidisig
upon the measures whetted during the campaigns
in Spans and Portugal. /It should therefore mute,
That there hr hod htfore the House a Copy, or
Exiniets, of So John Moine** Letter of the 13th of
Jaiiiitiry last, to Imrtl Castlereagh."
Tia. Earl of Livearoos. raid, that, at the time
the other papers were commune-tarsl to the House,
reseecting,the measures *bleb had been pursued in
Sp aiu, it had .1/tell thnught improper to produce
the document just now moved fur. He would as-
sure the House, when this letter came to be placed ,
eits their Lordships' table, they would then eltarly-
pereeive the impropriety of its being produced
fore them. When Sir John Moore wrote the lt.,
ter alluded to, he esti:rested himself as desiring it'
might not be cousideved a public and official coins,'
tuuniattiou, bemuse he wee not certified at that
instant to convey a snore correct etateinent, but
should take en early opportunity of seuding a snore
ulcerate dispatch. The letter also contained other
matter, which dearly *hewed Sir John Moore never
intended it to be considered or produced as a pub-
lic demand. These were the mesons which would
have inclined His Majesty's (imernmeot not to
bare acceded to the production ; but when Noble
Lords opposßas were so strenuous in maintaining
a amatory opinion, upon greeted consideration be
aboald think it right Dot to resist the motion, be-
cause, although considerable detriunot was done
by mxrding to the production of letters of thistle.:

Earl Gate acquiesced in the propriety which
ought to be attended to. its not producing letters
and papers which might be of a private nature
ouly. But with respect to the letter of. Sir John
Moore, it mutt be allowed it was not altogether
private, Imt related to meesunoof which the House
would not be enabled from other sources to supply
the information. it proltubly was very true, when
that Officer wrote he was not prepared to commit-
Meade in that correct manner which hr afterwards
intended to de by a regular dispatch ; however,
such was the event and the itiourtilid calamity that
ensued, he heti no doubt Sir John Moore never
could bud an opportunity to fulfil his imentiene on
that subject. Witham. this letter, therefore, the
House would not possew all the necessialciufformsgroundve) ; and on that ground lie thought f could
lie let iurpropriety in the production. For in cases

to bare every public document to guide

letters, if they ofettained public matter, and which

eery early opportunity after the holidtsys„ to make
u partiruler motion. for the purpose of enliieg their
Lordships' attention to those Act* upon which were
founded the Orders in Council.
INSTRUCTIONS TO MINISTERS IN SPAIN.
The Earl of liossLya trusted that the Noble
Earl (Liverpool), who had upon second consider-
ation seeelled to another motion, would oleo be
induced to accede to the one lie was about to pro-
pore, particularly if the Noble Eterl reconsidered
that what before he entertained as a doubt, could
not form any sefious objection. It would be ob-
served, on reference to the papers already producer,
there was a deficiency which ought to he supplied.
end he could perceive no ground for objecting to
the production of all instructions given to our dif-
ferent Ministers resident in Spain, and their coal-
mine:cations respecting the tome to His Majesty's
Secretaries of State. After a few observations its

support of its beinit proper soil net-twisty, the
Noble Earl snored "That siopy of all iiiittructiows
