lie was iuduced to relinquish at the time, on ac-
count of 'thine intelligence communicated to him,
that he was disposed to consider well founded, be-
cause it proceeded from respectab:e authority.
This motion, of which he had so given orifice, re-
garded Pottage!, and he was led net to persist in
brougiug it forward at the tune appointed, front hav-
ing been informed, though not correctly. that the

The Earl of Waster wished to telt the Noble
Secretary if this, or other motions already made,
would einlirsee an account of the army after it
proceeded into Spain under the command of Sir
Joh'. Moose.
The Earl of Ittrearnot replied. that it was the
wish of Ili. Majesty's Ministers to give the fullest
infortnatiou respecting their conduit, not only
the affairs of l'ortitgel but in those of Solent. The
motions already made would produce the informa-
tion alluded to by the Noble Earl, and he took
this opportunity of laying, that excepting confiden-
tial papers requiring eecreev. it was the intention
• of Ministers to grant every document and commu-
nication which could throw the smallest light upon
the whole of their proceedings.
Viscuoint StOstotsTri pmposed that his Noble
Friend (Buckinghamshire) nsight amend his last
motion, by striking out the words "in consequen.-e
of the S 411114" which would make it general, a oil
thereby apply to every information on the subject.
