SPAIN.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL, in order to explain the date affixed
to the additional article of the Treaty of Alliance between this
Country and Spain, moved for two letters of Admiral Apodaca to
Mr. Canning, the one dated the 9th, and the other the 21st of
March.—Ordered to be laid on the table.
Lord GREY remarked, that several communication.' from the
Junta of Gallicia to this country had been alluded to, but not pro-
duced. He gave notice that he intended to move for their pro-
duction to-morrow.

The Earl of LIVER POOL was not conscious of the non-pro-
duction of the papers in question. Those that had been laid on
the table were so numerous that it had not been possible for him
as yet to ascertain whether any were wanting. He thanked the
Noble Lord for delaying his motion, as it would afford him time
examine those papers.
Lord GREY then moved, that returns should be laid before
the House of the loss of nen occasioned by fatigue and disease
sustained by the British Army since its return from Spain, and
al so of the men who had been discharged since the same period.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL, had no objection to giving returns
of the men discharged. But he did not think it fair to require
accounts of the deaths that had occurred among the troops re-
turned from Spein, on the ground that they had been occasioned
by the late campaign, because it would be impossible to ascertain
those that really sprang from that cause, and those that had been
produced by the present unwholesome season, and the contagious
disorders that had raged not only among the soldiers from Spain,
but among those who had never left Englai
Lord ERSKINE thought that the Noble Secretary of State
had no right to resist the production of such returns as were now
required, as such information had been ordered to be granted by
the House, in compliance with a motion, which he (Lord Erskine)
had made. This order bad not been obeyed, as the returns laid
before the House Titre insufficient. His Lordship then requested
the order should be read. It stated that exact accounts of all the
men sent out, and all those not disabled. and just landed on their
return from Spain, as well as those who-were incapacitated from
further service, be produced.
'I he Earl of LIVERPOOL thought the order had been obeyed
to the utmost. He thought the Noble Lord who made the mo-
tion, would obtain the information which he wanted, by merely
voting tor an account of the number and situation of the British
army returned from Spain, at the present moment.
Lord GREY gave his sanction to this alteration of the motion,
which was agreed to.
