OgNIMAL DOWNIE.

Lord BATHURST stated, that in consequence
of the questions which had been put respecting Lieu-
tenant-General Downie, he had made the proper en-
quiries, and found the circumstances to be these :
Lieutenant-General Downie never had any rank in
the British army, and had received no pay as such :
but he had been in the Peninsula, in our Commissa-
riat department. He obtained permission to raise a
Spanish regiment, which he did; and having ingra-
tiated himself with the Spanish Authorities, he rose
rapidly in that service. Whether he was in the army
which was appointed to act against South America,
be (Lord Bathurst) did not with certainty know --
but in all probability he was in that army. With
Spain this was a great national object, whoever were
the parties in power, as much so as ever any of our
colonies were with us ; and it was not probable that
he should refuse to serve in the prosecution of an ob-
ject which was of the highest national importance to
those to whom he was under so much obligation. So
very national was this object in Spain, that at a time
when their finest provinces were in the hands of the
French, the arms, the clothing, and the money sent
them by Great_Britain for their own defence, had
been in a great measure appropriated to the purposes
of an expedition against America. Lieutenant-Ge-
neral Downie had here merely the half pay of the
livil appointment which he had mentioned.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, he had
only stated that the Officer in question enjoyed
the half-pay of some appointment in this country :
but he had seen an account of a large sum paid
to him.
Lord BATHURST said, that he bad been paid
for the purposes of his regiment in the same manner
as a Spanish Nobleman would have been who had
raised one, and the account seen by the Noble Mar-
quis was probably an account of arrears due in that
capacity.

Till DRLIVIIRINO UP OF THR SPANIARDS Wiio SOUGHT
HMOS AT GIBRALTAR.' •
Lord GReNVILLE.—It had been intimated to
him,
.in the course of the summer, that certain Spa.
niards who had sought refuge in Gibraltar had been
delivered up by the Goveruur to the Spanish Autho-
rities, and he had in consequence taken an opportu-
nity to apply to a Noble Friend of his (Bathurst), to
whom such an application be was sore could not
have been-made in vain-. His Noble Friend on that
occasion promised that an enquiry would be imme-
diately instituted into the circumstances, and that
steps would without delay be taken as the circum-
stances should seem to require. In the full confidence
that this promise would be pointedly fulfilled, he had
hitherto abstained from saying any thing on the sub-
ject : but not having as yet been given to understand
that the Spanish Government had yielde.; to our re-
presentations and released the individuals in Tu.:bon,
it was quite necessary now to ask his Noble Friend
to state, if he had no objection, in what situation this
mitten at present stood, att:t whether the persons
alluded to had not been released at the intercession
of the British Government ? There could be no doubt
but that the delivering up of these men was a high
crime on the part of the officer. It would have been
a crime in an officer of any .liuropein Power, but it
was more peculiarly criminal in an officer of this
country, where no such power was vested in any
officer, not even.in the King himself. It was a part
of the law and constitution of this country, as old as
Magna Charm itself, that strangers who resorted to
this country should be protected, and enjoy the bene-
fits of its constitution and liberties ; and to &heir up
strangers in this situation to the power of a bloody
and despotic Government-was not less criminal than
it would have been to lay hands on a native British
subject, and give him up in the same manner. He
had waited on his Noble Friend to express the utter
indignation which he felt at this act of oppression,
and he had the pleasure to find that his nfrn indigna.
tion was not greater than that of his Noble Friend.
and of the Ministers in general, when they discovered
that the delegated Authority of the British Govern-
ment had been prostituted at the feet of Spain, by
gifting up to an odious and sanguinary despotism the
martyrs to the freedom and independence of their
country. while flying, after their glorious struggle, to
those dominion: where they believed that limy who
had fallen victims to the cause of liberty and national
independence could never claim boipitelity aad pro-
tection in vain. It was not sufficient to have disap-
proved of this gross irregularity of the British Go.
verrior. There was no treaty by which this country
Was bound to deliver up these men. They were
given up in direct violation of our own constitution
and laws ; and we had a right, upon the clear prin-
ciples of the law of nations, to demand that the Spa.
nish Government should not take advantage of the
error of our officer ; and we were bound to insist,
that the injured individuals should be released and
replaced in an asp tem which they might consider as
safes There was no pretence on which tie Spanish
Government could justly refuse to accede to this ap-
plication. He said nothing of past benefits, nothing
of present advantages : but on the ground of the
common relations of friendship between two nations
at peace with each other, we had a right to insist
that these men should be replaced where there existed
no pr.wer, without positive statute, to depi ive them
of the benefit bf our constitution and liberties. It
was due tujastice, to the honour and character of
the nation, that these victims of the ignorance of our
officer should be replaced in that country where they
had expected to find safety and protection, and which
ought to be kitsvin to all Europe as a sacred and in-
violable **One. He hoped, therefor*, that his
Naga I!titind would have ao objection to state, that
rolltatietiv for their release had been made to the
