to
the Semtary for Foreign Affairs. His first ques-
tion vas, whether the Treaty which had been si,Ated
toil„vc been concluded with Spain was yet ratified,

ielosislied to be informed, whether it was true that
vrogber of our troops coming from Lisbon or from
colk ha ?resented themselves before Cadiz and been
refused admittance ?

question he could answer, that the ratification had
;;ot been received ; but he could rot say whether it
been ratified or not. The second question was

perllaps it might not be proper to answer it ; but he
cotdd &d are, that. he did.not know that any such
circiathiance had taken place.
