MR. wffirazajo LOIZD HOU .1N1).

'Mr. Whitbread has written a letter, just pills-
to Lord llollaod, upon thel.rceent state ut
_Spain. The follor:iug is an c.:triset :
" After our friend Mr. Sheridan Lead gieee'nn-
eke of his lelieUtl4lll to ask some quesuu.a. of the
I►iu; r Ministers relative to Spasm (a
pecird whilst I was not !invent), lie defer.cd hie
motion Irons the time first appoiated to another
day, cvlieu I was in iny place. 1 then publicly
hewn' has to trap his Intention altogether. On
the day on which he did make his nostiou, I again
publicly expressed it wish that the cliscusidica had
mot bent brutc4ht forward, because the crisis ap.
!,eared to me to delicate, that those old', who were
in poncessioss of all the information whit lc had a:-
wren, could judge of the steps tit to be taken.
'i.ei disclosure of such information, much twee of
the sources whence it was denied, might in -.Any
have been attended sv;ili da..ger to particular per-
sons, and with disadvantage to the greet cease of
liberty in Spain. I thought it a Calf! is which the
servants of the Crown ought to be lett perfectly
free and unembarrassed to choose the moment ef
eciininunieatioe, to form and execute their own de-
signs. I certainly could not an far forget all I
had felt and said on their past conduct, as to be at
once persuaded that the present Administratiou
was composed of men who were the most tit to be
trusted with the fortunes of the world at such a
crisis us to suppose that there was any one
amongst them peculiarly adapted to the task of
conducting to a happy issue the efforte of t_
.peeple. jest eateries *pen ea-draggle igalust ty-
•racitiy end oppressina, as glor:oes its all its circum-
stances as any that has ever yet twee exhibited
upon the face of the earth. But they ant of the
nepointraent : to them the Mercies of the
kingslein are confided. If they had thointht ■
public and authentic declaration of the sentiments
ut noth Howes of Parliament 11CY1r41,1,, a %I.swags:
from the King would have ilil,%%ertl; by ass
aieniewous and exulting address ton the Louis
and Comnaons. If a less formal e‘pnosuioa of feti-
ng had been judged by then, advantageous, the
question upon the vete of credit, which was mired
on the saute day, afforded a previa oppurtaility to
the Clutucollor of the Exchequer to have stated
!nitre-hogs and those of his colleagues, which a conkl
have been rucechmod with enthusiastic acclamation
by the House. _

Neither of these courses was taken by the
King's '.)linistas. Mr. Sheridan made his motion,
refaced hy speech .lowisig with those genuilie
feeliug. of liberty, of which be has been the tried
friinnl, and adorned by those talents which he hie
Ini.g and so trial ; 'tidy exerted hi the public
iersace. Mr. Caninng professed the objects of
l'ioverismiit to he purr and unmixed for the anp-
port and assist..nce of the rising spirit iu Spain.
Lord Caatleres4li spoke also. Mr. Ferceval ass
silent 1 lamented that any „notion had been made ;
and iintsing that pissed duringthediaeuss:oi.l d me
to alter my opinion to its inexpediency. A few
days alter. hi one of the stagy* of the act of appro-
priation, 1 recalled the attention of the [loose to
the lorincipal topics of discirwlon dining the I .te
Session, amid made some observations non the
geheral situation of our affairs, both tair,
domestics. .1 still abstained trout any cotillion of
far the reasons I hove just stated.
Since that period, (however short the interval),
the face of stliiirs has greatly changed. leas
has arrived as cheering to the heart of man as ever
was announced to an salminng world. Leery
part of Spain, nut occupied by the
French troops. has separately, and vrithoni any
possibility of previous (*oral, and yeti u if by
common consent, declared itself against the in-
justice, cruelty, nod 'repression of the numb
Emperor, and for the Prince of Asturias, under the
title of Ferdinand VII. The tuition, rn the ate
settee of it. Government, without brbaking forth
into those claim's etceteras of sauguihary licenti-
ousness which have di:igraced the {deal cause of
other comitries, and brought the game of liberty
into disrepnte, is now committed against the power
of Fiance. 'rho sob& siiiiciimion of the prising
• vents can no longer be injurious, by faimisig
flame which might here bees kindled to the fruit-
less destruction of the virtuous and the brave.
cannot now render abortive the plans adopted fur
thane meccas.

" After the communication made by Lad Castle-
reagh to the Lord Mayor. I firmly expected some
application to Parliament for an additional rote of
credit ; or at Least souse Message from the Crown.
When such a proceeding was nut of the question,
on the day of the prorogation itself, I expressed
myself shortly on the subject, in my place : but
the momentary expectation of interruption pre-.
vented my saying all that I wished upon a-ir of
the topics, and from entering upon none of them
altogether. From what then passed, I found I hind
been before misunderstood. Upon such a subject I
eurmet endure misrepresentation, the consequence
of misunden.tending, and therefore I address my-
self through ou to the public.
" The whole undivided heart of Great Britain and
Ireland, nay, of France itself. and of the world,
must be with Spain. Would to Gnd the whole un-
divided strength of the world could be couthiued
at this moment against the awaits of her oppressor.
in Spain ! Ministers hiel declared that no mixed
iiitertsts should interfere ; that all the exertion
should be for Spain, and Spain alone; and I am
hausy to acknowledge that the part of the King's
spftch, which relates to Spain, bears out the pro-
e, soon which had been before made. It has my
unqualified app,obatioa. The policy is lOWA.
and the expressions could not have been better
ehesen.

•4 Arms, ammunition. money, let them be poured
in with a hand as liberal as can he conceived. All
they ask for l and nothing• they do not ask for.
Iran army shall hereafter be required. let on con-
sideration of rank or favour interfere in the selec-
tion of the °Ricer to command it. The stake is too
precious to he risked in instil...luau: hanri4. The
country has a high opinion of the military talents,
the gallantry. and the other qualifications, of
the officer now in Ireland. ready to embark
with a limited force. May the appointment of a
general for any lurger force be equally judicious,
and equally acceptable to the public. 'rims shall
we render ouraeives worthy of being Ole sae sorters
of seetiith velour, and Spanish virtue. Titus 61144
