Lord MOIR A was of opinion,' that the plan of the
campaign in Spam was injudiciously .tormed,',by
Ministers, and therefore, he should vote fore the

I 100011.
LGfd SIDMOUTH spoke on the sum side. '•
Lord MULGRAVH' defended the cenduft of Mi-
nisters, who, he said, had, in the mode in which
the gave aisistance to Spain, followed the wi,,hes of
the Spanish Governmetit. -His Lordship replied
with very great ability to 'Lord Sidmouth and Lord
Moira.

Lord EREKINB disapproved of the condu& of
!' ; 11linister4, and said be Should vote for the Motion.
• Lord WEsi.stettLAND thought the Noble Lord
who brotight forward the motion, and those who
had followed .him, had been pretty liberal in their
censures on Government. According to them, Mi.
nisters were wholly unfit to, hold their places; be
did not doubt but they knew of persons who, in
their opinion, might be substituted with great ad-
vantage, • fie thought at that late hour it was unne-
. eeisary for him to consider what precise line of con-
dua Region(' oui ht. to have putteued3 but this he
would say, that honour, justice, and'above all, po-
ky, caled upon her to support the Spanish cause
by every means in her petv'er. The • Noble Lord
opposite, he said, shaped his conduct like most pro-
phets, in order to fulfil his ends. Was it, lie would
ask of the Noble Lord, a' measure of disgrace to free
ourselves from a,troublesome' and dangerous block,
ade, and to restore to thepeople of Portugal the pos-
session of their native land ? Upon the whole, he
received Abe Noble Lord's animadversions on- this
bead as u compliment which_ merited his thanks,-
1-4owould beg leave, however, :to say, that the brit,
ham expedition to Alexandria or Constantinople,
was never considered by the Noble Lord opposite bs
matter of disgrace. In filet, they gave themselves
always. that liberal latitude 'which they- withheld.
from others. The. Noble Lord concluded by giving
his negative to the motion.
Lord Guktsvii.Lit, in a speech of considerable
length, reprobated the condua of Ministers. We
had not, ,'he said, gone rightly to work in our en-
dtavotirs for the Spanish cause. A Naval Country,
- such as ours, should have followed the plan of de-
barking troops where they were alone absOlUtely
necessary for immediate nation, and our country
afforded better opportunities for this purpose titan
the Peninsula of Spain.
