'tante of Spain was hopeless. rrom this opinion he

at an encl. while Spain continued true to herself;
and while Spain continued true to'herielf,-Great
Britain would continue true to her. No effort would
be wanting on the, part of his Majesty's Government
'to aid Spain; and notwithstanding the disasters
which that country, had endured,. Ifitkitnticipation,,ef.„..l
the result was by no means'of such a gloomy nature ,
as that of the Noble Baron. The Noble Baron had
objected to the declaration made 'by his Majesty's
Isilinisters, in their answer to the proposition made
by rrance and Russia, that they would not enter
into a negociation from which. Spain. was exOluded.
If they had not done so, they would, in his opinion,
,have compromised the henour and,rli,gnity of the
country.' The Noble pawn declared, that he knew
of no connection which we had formed with Spain,,
and that if any secret alliance had been formed at:the
time when the 4rfuqh proposition was made, it
ought now to be publicly produced. There was no.
.such. secret connection or alliance, but them was
that open connection and allianoe which ought at
ways to exist between a brave' but oppressed people,
seeking to tree themselves from tyranny and.Usurpa
tion,• and a gallant and powerful people. ever.
ready to draw the sword in the aid Of patriotism,.
and in the rescue of the victims of despotic power.
Lord Sinmou'ru explained..
Lord AUCKLAND took a similar gronnd to that
of Lord Grenville, and dwelt.at considerable length,
on the misconduct
,of his Majesty's Government,
with regard to Spain. Ho-was-so far froir) coincid- ,
ing with the Noble Lord oppositei- in his congratu-
lation to the country, that his Noble friend, and
those with whonr. he acted, were not in possession
of the 'reins of Government,. that be firmly, believed,
that if they had been in power, instead of the Noble
Lord opposite, Great Britain would be placed in a.
_very different situation indeed, from that to which
she was now reduced. He conceived, that in the
answer returned his :Majesty's Government, to the
Worth propoiition, we ought to have confined our,
Selves to a general statement, that in the negotiation.
our allies must be included,' and that term would
have admitted of further explanation.
Lord SUFFOLK wished to know if British 'support
were still to be afforded to SPain; in what way that
support was to be given. He was surPrised that no -
attempt had been made to secure Barcelona, which
was a nicist important point, and one which he was
confident' the Duke of Marlborough would not haVe
neglected. •

lord Ltvattroor. felt himself called -upon.by the
sentiments expressed by the Noble. Viscount on the,
cross bench (Lord Sidmouth), with respect ,to the
conduct of the war in Spain, to say,
,that his Majes•
ty's Goveintnent had directed the resources
energips entrusted to them in the way which appear-
ed to them, on the most mature consideration; to
be most consonant to the honour 'and interests. of
Great Britain and Europe. If the Noble Viscount
and the Noble Baron thotight otherwise, his Ma-
jesty's Ministers were perfectly prepared to meet
any charge that might be brought againit then., on
this subject in a direct manner, and ant in.the col,
lateral way in which it had been that evening intro-
duced. -,

Lord ENVI CfrYlphilined of the gross mis-
represent44,l4 which his.sentimeuts had 4p,tiergone.
The Noble Baron opposiu seemed an,doas 10 Im-
press the public mind. with the opiinan that he was
adverse to 'the • cause of Spain., Nothing could be
more oppOsite to the truth ; but to the mariner in
which that cause had been maintained by Govern-
ment, he was decidedly adverse; 'and he Would Un-
queStiettably have advised a plan of operations dia-
metrically the reverse of that which had •so unfor-
tunately been adopted, and which he. thought it
the bounden duty of Ministers to explain.and endea-
vour to justify.
Lord SturttouTtr, in explanation, saki, that mricli
more information on .this subject was necessary be.
fore a Parliamentary investigation of it could take
place,, and he had no doubt that Government would
voluntarily afford that information. '
The Address was then agreed to, nemine clissen•
tiente, and the House adjourned.
