AFFAIRS OF SPAIN.

Lord LONDONDERRY wished to recall the attention of
the Noble Viscount (Melbourne) to the questions which he
had put to him last evening, and to which the Noble Viscount
had promised to give an answer this day.
Viscount MELBOURNE could only state, as far as he
understood, that the Royal William, since called the Isabella
Seconda, had been fitted out for the Queen of Spain at an
expense of 1,9431., the expanse to be paid by the Spanish
Government. There had been also sent out to Spain
13,000 carbines, 3,000 pistols, and 10,000 sabres, all of
which amounted to 2,0001. This expense was also to be
defrayed by the Spanish Government. On the 10th of
March 1835, however, the Noble Duke opposite (Wellington)
had informed the Government of Spain that he would not press
for the money.
The Duke of WELLINGTON regretted that his Noble
Friend (the Marquis of Londonderry) had not thought proper,
previous to putting questions to the Noble Viscount opposite,
according to the rules observed on such occasions, to give notice
of his intention.—( Hear, hear.) If the Noble Marquis had given
notice according to the usual practice of their Lordships' House,
he would certainly have attended in his place, and would have
given such answers as it was necessary for him to give
respecting the share which he had taken in these
transactions.—( Hear, hear.) It was quite true, as the
Noble Viscount (Melbourne) stated, that arms and ammu-
nition bad been furnished to the Spanish Government, ai:d
had not been paid for, and it was also true that he (the Duke
of Wellington) had expressed an intention on the part of his
Majesty's Government not to press for payment.
Lord LONDONDERRY had not made any communica-
tion to the Noble Duke of his intention to put these questions,
but he would take care to do so in future.
THE LORD CHAMBERLAIN.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he would avail
himself of the opportunity to say a few words relative to a-s O-
bject which he introduced in that House some short time since,
relative to the resignation of the Marquis of \Vellesl'-y
as Lord Chamberlain. He always felt delicacy in bringinir
these subjects forward, but when he found that the respectable
Press of the country had stated that the illustrious Duke be-
hind him bad upon that occasion stated circumstances
not founded in fact, and drawn references without foundation,
he thought it his duty to bring it forward. The correspon-
dence that had taken place completely bore out what he h••.d
stated, and it also placed all parties on such a footing that there
was no necessity for the production of the papers unless, in-
deed, the Noble Viscount wished it.
Viscount MELBOURNE said that he had no wish what-
ever for the production of the correspondence.
