STATE DOCUMENTS.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL had made the inquiries
which he had promised yesterday respecting the
Papers which had been moved for by several of the
Noble Lords opposite. With respect to the produc-
tion of the first, the answer returned by the Aus-
trian, Russian, and Prussian Plenipotentiaries to the
questions of the French Plenipotentiaries, he had al-
ready stated, that an objection of form existed. With
respect to the second, or copies of the dispatches from
M. de Chateaubriand to the French Ambassador at
Madrid, as they had been communicated through
the Spanish Ambassador to this country, he believed
there would be no objection to producing them. The
next motion had been for copies of all reclmmenda-
Cors from this county,- against any interference in
the affairs of independent States. One of the most
material documents on that subject, the Declaration
of May, 1820, had already been published : he should
produce in addition to it the instructions prepared by
a Noble Marquis now no more, for the British Pleni-
potentiary, in contemplation of the Congress of Ve-
rona. With respect to the communications.from the I
Spanish Government to this country, charging that
of Pi ace with having given money to excite trou-
bles in Spain, there was but one document which al-
luded in a distant manner to the subject. It was a
letter from Mr. Jabat, the Spanish Minister, to Mr.
Canning, and was hardly worth presenting ; yet it
should be produced. For it did not appear on in-
quiry, that any formal communications had been
made by the Spanish Government on that subject.
In saying this, he applied his answer to thee question
concerning the communications received, and not to
the general information of which his Majesty's Go-
vernment might have become possessed. The letter
of the Duke of Wellington which had been moved
for, being of a confidential nature could not be pro-
duced. lle admitted that many dispatches had passed
between the letter of the Duke of Wellington, an-
nouncing the intentions of France, and the instructions
sent by Mr. Canning in November, but could not
give a positive answer respecting their production
before next Monday. The nen Paper moved for had
been the communications made by France to the
British Plenipotentiary between the 31st of October
and the 12th of November, 1822. Ile had to state
that no official communications had passed, though
important information might have been given in al
different shape to the Noble Duke. The last motion
had been for copies of the documents in which
France had disclaimed all views of ambition and ag-
grandizement. These documents were already be-
fore the Public, and consisted chiefly of the Speech
of the King of France, there could therefore be no
objection to their being produced. All those Papers
would be ready o❑ Monday Dr Tuesday next.
The Marquis oft ANSDOWN said, he meant to
ask for the communication of any information of an
official nature which had been given to the Duke of

Wellington between the 30th of October and the 12th '
of November ; for, from the different wording of the
subsequent dispatch, he must have received some
such information, and it was quite impossible but he
must have communicated it to his Majesty's Mini- I
sters, for be (the Marquis of Lansdown) was quite
sure the Noble Duke would not have been guilty of
an omission so gross as the non• communication would
be, when he knew that his Majesty's Government
were in a state of as great ignorance as he had been
himself. As to the other point—the apparent omis-
sion for six weeks by Mr. Secretary Canning, of one
of the most important communications ever made,
he meant that of the 22d of October by the Duke of
Wellington—he (the Marquis of Lansdown) now un-
derstood that there were intermediate communica-
tions, and which the House might expect to have pro-
duced. But what he thought the House ought to
have was, the first impression made on the minds of
the King's Government, and therefore he thought
their Lordships ought to have the first instructions
which they had forwarded to the Duke of Welling-
ton on the occasion. He contended that it would be
giving a most false view of the subject if the first in-
structions,to the Duke of Wellington at Verona, after
the Ministers had attained a knowledge of the real
state of things, were not communicated.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, he had observed
in the newspapers a speech of the King of Spain to
his Cortes in 1821, in which he told them that the
Congress at Lay bach had given him assurances that
they had no intention of acting hostilely against
Spain. If this had been communicated to his Ma-
jesty's Government, the paper containing it ought to
be laid on the table of the House.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he might have
forgotten it, but he had no recollection of the exist-
ence of such a paper, and he believed that no such
paper did exist.
The Earl of DAOTLEY said that he had looked
through all the papers, but could not find any ground
for the expectation that peace would be preserved be-
tween France and Spain, and he could not conceive
on what grounds his Majesty's Ministers had founded
their expectations after the meeting of Parliament :
but at last, on the Slst of March, all hopes were
,abandoned, and a dispatch was sent to Sir Charles
Stuart. What he (Lord Darnley) wished to know
was, whether any formal protest against the whole
of their proceedings was then delivered by Sir Charles
Stuart to the French Minister? Some such thing, he
hoped, had been done, for the honour of the country;
and if it had, he trusted the document would be laid
on the table.

Lord HOLLAND professed no desire to press for
the papers, to the production of which there was an
objectionin point of form; but as to the other point,
it clearly appeared from the dispatch of Mr. Secre-
tary Canning to Sir Charles Stuart, in page 45 of
the papers; that Spain had alleged certain grievances.
The words were—" Spain, on her side has, or pro-
fesses to have, grievances to plead against France of''
similar iutermeddling with her people and herarmy.l
She alleges that France has encouraged dissension
a.id disaffection at Madrid, and that she evert,' by
money and other means, fomented and stimulated the
tumult of the 7th of July." Indeed, the transmission
of money to the disaffected in Spain was notorious to
every ;.ei sun: there was not a mei chant but what was
fully aware of it—ilay, he believed that M. de Vll-
lele oad had the candour almost to admit it. That
being the case, he (Lord Holland) thought it must
have reached the knowledge of his Majesty sMinisters
in some shape or other, though perhaps not ~ in written
documents; and if so, he hoped the Noble Earl (Li-
verpool) would have the candour to state it.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he could only re-
peat that there were no such communications, except
that which would be laid on the table ; but he (the
Earl of Liverpool) did not deny that such acts had
been done, as the Noble Lord stated, by France ; but
what he meant to say was, that there was no official
communication made by the Government of Spain.
Lord HOLLAND said, all he wished to get at was
the grounds of Mr. Secretary Canning's allegations
in the letter to which he. had referred. He was per-
suaded that after a careful reading of the Papers, it
would be found that the miscalled pacific assurances
of France meant nothing more than to obtain a longer
time for their experiment of fomenting insurrections.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said that he had never
denied that France might have instigated insurrec-
tion at Madrid; all he denied was, that the Spanish
Government had made any official communication of
the fact.

Lord HOLLAND expressed himself perfectly sa-
tisfied with the answers of the Noble Earl.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, the Noble Earl
(Liverpool) ou the first day of the Session had stated,
that Spain had declared she never would attempt to
extend the principles of her Constitution ; and as
papers were on the table, in which the King of France
had disavowed all views of aggression, he thought it
would be but fair, if it were in a written docume.it,
that the Declaration of the Spanish Government
should also be laid on their Lordships' table.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, the most material
of the documents, in which that Declatabion of Spain
was made, had been published ; it was distinctly as-
serted in the answer of the Spanish Government to
M. de Villele.
The Earl of DARNLEY said, from the Noble Earl's
answer he inferred that he (the Earl of Liverpool) had
no such document.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL gave notice of a motion ea the
subject of Appeals for Friday se'sudght.
The Earl of DARNLEY gave notice of a motion en the sub-
ject of our Naval Force for Monday nest.—Adjourned.

Member; Mid to give every information in MS polreci,yet he
could not at that moment give an answer to a question so sud-
denly put. He stood, as a trustee for the Public, and his whiting
should be regulated by the opinions of those whom he knew to
be the friends of the measure. if he were to speak for himself,
I he would say that he saw nothing to induce hint to Mhz

posing of this munificent donation ; in his opinion disposing of
It to the British Museum would be found, ou inquiry, exceed-
ingly unadvisable; there ought, in has opinion, to be a separate
establishment for the reception of that magnificent gift.
Sir CHARLES LONG said, the Committee recommended
that the books should be given to the British Museum, but the
question, of course, would he open forconsideration.
NAVAL AND MILITARY PENSIONS BILL.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
the third reading of this Bill.
Mr.GRENFELL opposed the Bill, which he con-
sidered as improvident.
Mr. MANNING defended the conduct of theßank.
Mr. PEARSE followed in support of the-Bill.
Sir J. NEWPORT contended, that the plan con-
tained in the Bill was a violation of the Act of Wil-
liam 111. which forbade the Bank to deal in public
securities, and which, in his opinion, was a very salu-
tary enactment.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ar-
gued, that the bargain entered into with the Bank
was, in the main, advantageous, and that there was
nothing in the Act of William 111. more to prevent
the Bank from entering into the bargain sanctioned
by this Bill, than to prevent them purchasing Ex-
chequer Bills, which they had been in the constant
habit of doing.
Mr. HUME did not think 133 reasonable persons
(the number of the' last majority on this Bill) could
be found anywhere, except in the House of Commons,
to give their approbation to this plan, when it was
fairly explained to them. He moved as an Amend-
ment—,, That the Bill should be read a third time
this day six months."
Mr. MABERLEY seconded the Amendment.
Sir JOSEPH YORKE said, his knowledge of the
four first rules of arithmetic was not profound enough
to enable him to say whether the bargain with the
Bank was good or bad, but what he did not see was
the necessity of any bargain at all. When it was said
that this dead weight was to be spread over 45 years,
was it to be supposed that at the end of that time no
spectre would remain ?—(Hear,'hear). If, indeed, at
the end of that time every Officer in the service was
to be as dead as Julius Casar, it was all very well—
(A laugh). But there were 200 Admirals, healthy
Gentlemen like himself (Sir J. Yorke), 800 Captains,
800 Commanders, and 3000 Lieutenants, with the
supply pretty regularly kept up—(A laugh). How
were the Gentlemen who were coming up upon half-
pay to be provided for when the deadweight was
spread ? He hoped his Right Honourable Friend
(the Chancellor of the Exchequer), who had begun his
fiscal career in so understandable, a way, would not
disadvantageously imitate his predecessors.
Mr. RICARDO said, had the Government chose
to raise that sum by Exchequer Bills, which it now
meant to raise by this annuity scheme, it might have
borrowed it from the Bank itself, at three per cent.
whereas the Chancellor was now borrowing at four
and a half per cent. This constituted the strongest
objection to the scheme. It was stated, that the Bank
had to pay I:13,000,000; but it paid this at instal-
ments, during five years, and never advanced a sum
equal in amount to this. But the Government had
granted them the whole annuity at once, and had
this been carried into the market, the Government
might have raised immediately between twelve and
thirteen millions on it. The only species of Stock the
Bank was allowed to deal in was Exchequer Bills, and
for this there was a good reason : other species of
Stock were subject to great variations in value, .but
they were not. By the present scheme, the whole
amount of the Debt would be greater at the end of
forty-five years than if it were not had recourse to
and as the Bank were at present the managers cf the
Public Debt, and received very large emoluments in
this capacity, he wished to know if the debt created
by this annuity scheme was also to be managed by
them, and if they were to be paid for managing a
debt contracted by themselves?
Mr. HUSKISSON replied to the latter part of Mr.
Ricardo's speech, that the Bank were not to be paid,
-that there was to be no increase of charge for mintage-
ascot of this part of the Debt. The Right Honour-
able Gentleman also contended that the Bank were
allowed to deal in Public Securities, and the manner
in which they had allowed the power to lie dormant,l
so that the Hon. Member opposite did not know-it
existed, proved how very harmless this power in their
viands was. He was surprised to hear the Hort. Gen-
tleman opposite recommend an increase of the un-
funded debt, that was a resource for extraordinary
circumstances ; and if that was now much augmented,
the time might come that Government would have to
borrow at six, seven, or eight per cent.
Mr..RICARDO explained that he had never advo-
cated the increase of the debt in any way. He had
only shewn if the Government were so determined to
borrow, how it might borrow on much more advan-
tageous terms than by this scheme.
. Mr. H. GURNEY also opposed the measure.
Sir F. BLAKE followed on the same side by ex-
pressing his hatred of the Sinking Fund, which he
said lie could not do in better terms than Dclenda est

FOREIGN POLICY.

Mr. MACDONALD gave notice, that he shorty;

founded on the papers which had been laid by the
night I lonotorable Secretary for Foreign Affairs oa

liament either was, Or was likely to be, in possession
of some further information: he wished to a4c the
Right Honourable Gentleman whether it was his in-
tention to lay these additional documents before the
House; or if there were any objection, in point of
form, to his (Mr. M.) moving for their production ?
Mr. Secretary CANNING_said he was glad to hen

question under the consideration of the House. With
regard to the additional documents, he should him.
self move that they be laid on the table of the House.

MERCHANTS' VESSELS APPRENTICESHIP RILL
On the motion fir the third reading of the Mer-
chants' Vessels Apprenticeship Bill,
Mr. RICA RDO opposed the measure, as imposing
injurious restrictions on a particular trade, and inter-
fering with the private rights of the individoaN con-
nected with that trade. He should move 7.5 aft
Amendment, that the Bill be read a third time that
day six months.
Sir I. COFFIN said, there was a great distinction
between theory and practice. He contended Ott
good seamen could only be obtained by educating
them as apprentices. If men were not bound appren-
tices, they would be as ignorant of the profession at
the end of seven years as at the commencement of
their service. Some of the best sailors in the navy
were those who had served in the coal trade. The
protection given to second mates was a most benefi-
cial provision in the present Bill.
Mr. HUSKISSON said, the present measure had
given universal satisfaction to the ship-owners, and
all who were interested in it, and he believed there
was scarcely a Member in the House, except the
Hon. Member opposite (Mr. Ricardo) who was not
satisfied of its utility. Whatever the opinion of that
Hon. Member might be, the measure was unques-
tionably one of relief to Merchants, and of es!ential
benefit to the maritime interest 13y the law, as it
stood at present, every vessel exceeding 30 tons, was
compelled to take one apprentice, and another ap-
prentice for every. 50 tons above that rate; wherei„s
by the present Bill, no vessel under 80 tons was lia-
ble to. take an apprentice.
After some desultory conversation, Mr. Paeans
withdrew his Amendment, and the Bill was read a
third time.

THE COURIER NEWSPAPER.
idr. IL G. BENNET said, that there had been put into his
hand, a very short time back, the Courivr newspaper of that
evening, which, with its usual inticriia!ily, pretended to give an
account of the unpleasant transaction which took place in the
House lot night. As there were two holidays to intervene be-
fore the House would again meet, he took the preaeot, as the
earliest opportunity, of bringing the subject under its notice, as
n statement in its nature calculated to revive those unpleasant
feelinP to which the transaction of last night had given rise, but
which, be was glad to say, had amicably subsided. Ile Low
felt no hesitation in saying that he knew of nothing so bad, so
false, or scandalous, or which shewed more the malignity of the
writer's heart, than the article in question. That it was false,
must bare been known to the writer, as the report of the debate
in bis own Paper was directly the reverse of, and contrary to,
his statement.----Here the matter dropped.
The other Orders of the day were now disposed of, pod at a
Quieter to Ore oTicek the House adjourned till Monday.
