LOrdGitEiiVreer rose, pursuant to the notice Ile
had givenyesterday, to call the atterition.of their
Lordships to the nature of some of-the Papers which
bad been laid on the table of that House, relative to
the ailairs;of Spain. and Portugal. In 'stating the rea-
sons which induted hicia to bring forward 'the
motiott which "ha should subMit -to theM; fie
felt no-ordinary degree ofenibarraatmerit. Ills difli
culty Was this---41is.Majeaty'a Ministers, by astrange,
unjustifiable, and h- the Papers before th'eir, Lord-
ships had not unequivocally proVed it, he-might
have added, an incredible neglect or ignordnce; haVe
published and ekposed to the World a number of
pri'vate transactions, not only affecting the character,
but even coMpromising the personal safety, and ex-
posing the liveS of several indiVidnals ; and that
without any colciur of necessity” to justify thein in
tnaking public mach information ;.fOr it Would seem
that the inforMation of which he complained, WAS.
by no means indispensable to the eXplahation of their
views, or to thejtatificatien 'Of their cOnduct.t y
instance of criminal negled, and most culpable
.tention, they not only endangered tire personaliafety
Of individuals; .why they should not have betrayed;
but by so doing, they committed the character of the
national honour and gOod faith;, and put to hazard
the best inlereSts body-of Spain and of own
country. It ha, hitherio'been the. uniform practice,
in the relations between .81ates; , not to bring for-
Ward and expose to public view the private Mot tVes,
or the secret intrigues; by which the persons admi-
nistering the affairs of those States were .sepoesed or
known to lie actuated. The enotn es they .publicly
avowed,„and openly acted upon, were those Only
wi.i.h it has hitherto been th' prcticeof the 13r17
tish `GoVernMent to lay before Parliament. Tilt..
!tattles of individuals, especially When ibe mention-
ing; of their nazi es in . delicate sitoatioui might be
thought to comprise their cicaraaer, or commit their
personaJ safctf, we're studiously and cautiously with-
held. Witt. very- few ekcc•etions', indeed; nntn
hese„latter yeaiS, this rule has sCrtienlolasfy been ad-
hered to—of late., hoiveVer, it has been widely
parted from, but *er in. so uugnarded and shock-
Mg manner a's in the instances to lie should
presently iefei. Fur what purpose his Majes:y's Mi-
nisters had thtis"violatedestolithedcustonts betWeeti
civilized nations, had this centimitted the national
character for honour - and goo," faith; had dies en-
elangered the personal safety and lives of several
in-
dividuals, had thus Put to hazard the best interestA of
of our allies, ,and of the great cause in 'Which both
Countries are engaged, it *4 not difficult to Con:-
jeoture. Their only. purpose niat be, by' vilify ing,,the
the Government of *Spain; by aspersing the charac-
ters of the individualS who composed it; by dragging
into open day their dal k IntrigueS_ and mutual jea-
douSies; to diVert the attention of their Lordships,
and of tht, country from their 'own misconduct, and
screen their own faults-, by aposine the weakness
-dud errors .0f
,those with WhOin theyhad to concert
and ,co-operate. Such must .obVionsly have been
their deign in publishing snub particulars as those
to which he was about 'to solicit the attention of
their Lordships._ Indeed-, as he 'had said already, •
this was a growing evil in these. latter d tys, and
it behoved their „Lordships -to arrest' its pro-
gress, to. extinguish. it in.. its .beginning; and
so to mark their disapprobation 'and abhorrence
of it, as to deter any set of, Ministers from ever set-,
ties, ;,ucli an exampie. Itideed, such an eXatnple
had never been exhibited. of criminal- uegled by any
Government; except by that under which the conii-
try unfortunately groan's. There was nothing more
easy to be avoided "than the names of individuals.
The reasons urged; or the measures proposed by
them, might be stated without any necessity of inena
tioning their. names. An instance Of the. propriety
-6f this caution occurred in his oath experience. lt
happened that a negotiation had been carried on at
the same time with three different Commissioners.
They-all- differed in sentiment,• and the line of pro-
ceeding he proposed.; but when it became necessary
to lay their opinions before Parliament, no names
were particularized. It iwas only stated that one
Commissioner proposed one line of conduct, ano-
ther, .another. . The same caution might have been
observed 01) the present occasion, if Ministers Wad but
seriously attended to what they were doing, and not
had the whole of their attention directed to the con-
cealtnent of their own miscondud, and the rejec-
tion olit ou the shoulders of others. Brit tile clitii-
culty under which,he laboured at the present md-
went arose from the uncertainty whether he might •
not aggravate, while he endeavoured to corrette the
evil of which he complained. Whether by attempt-
ing to stop thediffusion of the unguarded informa-
tion made public by Ministers, lie might not more
pointedly fix the eyes of Europe and, the world upon
it. But these doubts must now be vain and unavail-
ing. The shaft was fled, the mischief vas incurred,
end already may it have reached the French and
Spanish Governments. The only. duty, therefOre,
which he felt incumbent upon him, was to
the evil, and prevent the publication of any further
inconsiderate and dangerous informati ; to preveut
so flagrant an instance of neglect or ignorance from
being draw ninto precedent or prataice. The incau-
tion or negled with which. he charged hs Majesty's
Ministers on the' present occasion .were visible al-
