The additional Papers to be laid before the House
of Lords this evening are twelve in number. The
first is a confidential Minute of Viscount CASTLEREAGH
to the Courts of Austria, France, Prussia, and Russia,
in May, 1820. It deprecates all re-union of the So-
vereigns, for the purpose of deliberating on the affairs
of Spain, particularly as there existed no order of
things in Spain on which to deliberate, nor any
governing Authority with which the foreign Powers
can communicate. It states the opinion •of the
Duke -of WELLINGTON, " that the Spanish na-
tion is, of all the European people, that which will
least brook any interference from abroad ,' he states
the many instances in which, during the last war, this
distinguishing trait of national character rendered
them obstinately blind to the most pressing considera-
tions of public safety.
The Duke further " states the e imminent danger in
which the suspicion of foreign interference, and more
especially of interference on the part of France, is
likely to involve the-King ; and he further describes
the difficulties which would oppose themselves to any
military operations in Spain, undertaken for the pur-
pose of reducing, by force, the nation to submit them-

selves ton order of things to bireitior ingested at
prescribed to them from without.*
Lord CASTLEREAGIE says— 44: t
" The present state of Spain, no dutet, seriendly eateas the
range of political agitation in Europe, bilk muit oeveetbeleps be
admitted, that there is no portion of Europe of equal magnitude,
in which such a Revolution could have happened, less likely to
menace other States with that direct and imminent danger, which
has always been regarded, at least in this country, as alone con-
stituting the case which would justify external interference."

The dispatch, after again deprecating all inter.
ferenca with Spain, concludes :

" We shall be found in our place where actual danger menaces
the system of Europe; but this country cannot and will nut act
upon abstract and speculative principles of precaution. The al-
liance which exists had no such purpose in view in its original
formation."

No. 2 consists of the In,tructions drawn up by the
Marquis of LONDONDERRY, and transferred to the
Duke of WELLINGTON, dated September 14, 1822:
