SIR—It appears that this Conn have it in contem-
plation to fend out a confitittable expedition from
the port of Ferrol, confining, at the lowa etlisna-
ion, of about fir thoofitnd men.

Though it is not evident that they have any im-
mediate objea of hollility in view, yet, in the pre-
Cent fituation of the two count) kg, I Ihould confider
yfelf wholly incxculable if I were to connive at the
execution of a meafiwe of furh an important, and,
ander all its eircumfiances, ot Co foipicious a nature.
I muff therefore recommend it to you as an objeti
(as it appears to me) of the utmost confequence to
his Majelty's fervice, that the failing of the above
mentioned armament (tmid he oppofed ; &11, by a
declaration of your being authorized to oppofe it by
force, and finally, by the execution of Lace, if un-
happily (itch an extremity (lo;uld become neceffary.
The expedition cannot I fuppofe be in a Rate to
put to fea for fome weeks ; and it is poilible that the
prate's, which I iball think it my duty to hake,
may fir far delay it. as to render it poffible to receive
inatuaions from England. In the mean time, how-
ever, and unlefs you should yourfelf receive inflruc-
titans to the contrary, I beg to be confidered as
charging myfelf with any refponfihility which may
attach to the meafure which I recommend.
As it is my with to avoid any needlefs appearance
of menace, I would advife the ti•moll f.:c;ecy nry,n
the fobjeft of this letter. I &hall m) self con:muni-
tate it to the Miniaers here, but to n-) one tile.—
They will, I apprehend, be much rncre dirp.ited to
give way, when they find that our tlifcieth.o ena-
bles them to do fo w:th decency.

Haw kefbury, dated Madrid, the sth of March lilac and re

ecivcd the 19th.
A converfation which I had this morning with the
P,ince of Peace, has fo mach confirmed me in the
opinion which I have already Rated to your Lord-
Lhip, that I cannot avoid tri...;:t;,:qiiag fume particu-
Jars of it. It letm:; the nench 1141 feat to demand
the payment of an initalnier r o tile;r fuLfidy, which
I fill' imprelfed rite fobj,:ct more flr:lngly on his
mind. After a good deal of other ootiverfation, he
complained of the uncertainty it wh:ch they were
kept with refpeil to the intentions of Englaild ; that
their trade was ruined ; that the merchants dared
nut make any expeditions; and he concluded by
dwelling nn the general ernbarraillw..nt cleated
by their prefent uncertainty of bringing home
their money from America, and the tearcity and
dithers throughout the country. I raid that I
had already mentioned to him the neceifary preli-
minary to any undcrttanding upon this head, narn,iy,
the communication of the treaty. He repeaLd the
fame objection %%hie: he had made tile 4 before, and
which is mentioned in a fotiver letter to your Lord-
fhip ; and when I rerna:ked upon the unteafonall.:-
ntfs of expeCing that Great Britain give her
atfent to an or known agr2ement, he raid that it was a
fuhjed in which he had nothing to do, and which
belonged to the Secretary of St.it;:. I (hail
dingly make it the objca of a conference with 111.

M.d'Antluap to Lord Hartkettury. co.ted Portland Place.
9th march, isoa.
My Lord—Having received from my Court by the
lad packet from Lilhon come interring difpatches, I
wilhed to converfe with your Excellency on the lubjea
of them, but Mr. Hammond having given me to un•
derfiand how c xtremely occupied your Excellency is at
prelent, I have thought that, to give your Excellency
the 'call poffible trouble, and at the fame time not
to • negleit the execution of the orders which had
been hat to me, I fhould do hazer, and it would
even be more apiceable to your Excellency, to give
you, without delay, and confidentially, come idea of
the °Vita of the audience which I tequelled of your
Excellency thrlugh Mr. Hammond. That perfeet
confidence with which your Lurdlhip has inlpirect
see leads me to communicate to you, without relerve,
every thing which can in any wife contribute to con-
v;acc your Excellency, Is well actbe Deka Minilry,

of the amicable intentions, and of the pssi& feed- I
ments of my Court. • 1
You will recaltea, my Lord, that whenever I have
had the honour to converfe with your Excellenei an I
the principles on which the Englith Government might
confent to the neutrality of Spain in the prefent war, •
even though the furnithed to France thole (account
in troops and vefels itipulated by the Treaty of 1796,
as well as on the means by which it might be accom•
pliffied, I earrieftly requefted the Britifh Miniary ma-
turely to confider this affair before they took a deci-
live refolation, fince, exclutive of the reafons which
I then alledged in fupport of the fyftem which I pro.
poled, it never would happen that Spain would fur-
nil% either a tingle veffel, or a tingle foldier,. again('
England ; fince, according to accurate intelligence,
the Spanith Government would then have already en-
tered upon a negotiation with France to fubtlitute
money in the place of the fuccours in troops and vef-
fels, and that this fubfiitution being reciprocally ad-
van:re,us to both countries, it could not hut be
effeded without difficulty. I confidered myfelf as In
much the more authorized to fpeak with loch confi-
dence, as I fuppofed England perfonly agreed with
us on this point; fince, in none of our c”nve:fatioos,
in which your Excellency conftantly tellified to me
an oppolition to the furnithing by Spain of fuccours
in kind, and principally in Chips, did you every make
any mention of pecuniary fuccours.
It w is in confequence of this perftration, to which
I myfelf contributed, that Spain determined to make.
that facrifice of money, which the has made by her
left treaty with France, /tattering herfelf that the
would by this means infure to herfelf the friendthip
of England ; dfe, how would it be poffible that Spain
would have figned a Treaty of this nature, if it was
not in order the better to obtains the accomplithment
of her pacific withes with refpea to England ? Can
it be imagined that Spain would be induced to make
facrifices in order to avoid a war, and that at the
fame time the would have reafon to fear, that thee
very facrifices would be a fubjeft of slit-content for the
Britiot Miniflry ?
The Britiflt Government, not having therefore
taken it amils that main fli old ffirnifit money intlead
of the troops and flips kulated by the treaty of
1796, cannot morcc.vcr complain, if the films to be
paid by Spain be proportioned to the expences which
the mull have been at for t:!e maintenance of the
abovementioned (hips and troops it would even be
inconfequent to refute the feet:n.l condition, after hay
ing tacitly acquiefced in the firli. In the event even
of Spain having promiled to France fomething more
than an equivalent, it would not be the fault of my
Court. All the woad well knows that the would not
in that cafe have done more than fubmit to the ne-
ccffity of circumliances ; for, from the very mo-
ment that England oppofed itfelf to the furnithing by
Spain of fuccours in kind, there remained for her no
other cootie to take than that of concerting with her
ally the amount to be fixed upon as an equivalent.
Alffiongli there is no region to believe that the
French Government has ezafted from my Court more
than an equivalent to the Ripulated fuccours, it is
neverthelefs painful to recal at this moment to your
Excellency one of the obfervations which I math
during the negotiation, in order to induce the Britilh
Minitiry to recognife the neutrality of Spain, even
though the should furnish the fuccours in kind, name-
ly, that if England adhered to it, the would have
obtained two great advantages—Firlt, That of per-
forming a firikino anion of jutlice and policy, an
action conformable to the law of nations, and likely
to gain over to her the fuffrages of all Europe—Se-
condly, That of depriving France of all means of
increafing her claims on Spain, in cafe the thould
with fo to do.

If the Treaty of pecuniary fubfidies lately conclu-
ded between Spain and France deferves every atten-
tion on the apart of the Britith Government, when
examined with refpea to the pacific views which were
the motive of the former of thefe powers for con-
cluding it, and to the circumßances which preceded
and accompanied its conclufion, it is not the left an
objea of forbearance and of approbation for Eng-
land, if regard is had to the laving which it procured
to that Powtr of an augmentation of naval forces
which fhe would have been forced to make, to oppofe
to the velrels which Spain would have furnifhed to
France, fuppofing that the Treaty of pecuniary fub-
fidies had not been concluded.

To this advantage mull be added another, which
is not of leis impnt tance to England : it is, that as
long as Spain (hall pay the pecuniary fubfidies lately
tlipulated, the French Government cannot engage its
ally in any Ilep contrary to the laws of the (trifled
neutrality ; and that, with this fecurity, England
may concentrate its military operations in the em-
ployment of all its land and fea forces.
The rafts and the refleftions which I have now
laid before your Excellency, prove, firft, the fince-
rity with which Spain has defined, and ftill defires,
to maintain her friendthip with England. Secondly,
That her conduit has been in perfeft conformity with
their dclires. Thirdly, that in her laft Treaty with
the Fa ,nch Government, the has fought to conciliate
her relations of friendfhip with England, and her
I duties towards France : in (hart, that England reaps
re::i advantages from the Paid Treaty of fubfidies.
From all that I have now Hated, there cannot re-
main a doubt, that the Court of Spain, as well from
the good faith which it has manifelled in all its pro-
; ceedings during the negotiation, as from the reiter-
ated proots which it has cnnflani ly given to the Bri-
tith Government, of its fine:re &tire to continue its
1 relations or ft iendfbip with them, has an incontefliblc
right to the molt paled reciprocity on the part of
I England, on whole fentiments I have never entertain-
ed the least doubt, particularly fince the conferences
I which I had with your Excellency on the 21(1 and
:6th of January laft.
In there conferences, on the fubje& of which I
have infinite fatisfaftion in reflefling, your Excellen-
cy manifefled the moll juft and moll valuable fend-
'rents with regard to Spain. They difcovered to
me, how fully fenfible his Britannic Majefty's Go
vernnient were of the fituation of my Court with re-
; fpeß to France at the moment of the conclnfion of its
I Treaty with her ; and that, entering into at the con-
: fiderations which could have induced Spain to agree
to any thing which might difpleafe England, they
would be ready to give way to them, provided that
Spain rifted frankly with the Englilh Government,
and that 111.: manifefted in the reit oiler conduft that
good faith which is confonant to a friendly power,
who•ohlerves a mutt:lli:l towards belligerent powers.
This declaration. which I indicated to tranfinit to

my Court by the fame mefrenger ah;ch your reel.
lency difpatched Ow very day on which the firl con-
ference was held, mull necelfarily have met with the
moll favourable reception at Madrid. It will even ha-..c
diflipated the doubts and fears to which Mr. Fr.-re's
note of the t3tb December (on the mearing
which the Sparrilit Miniflry rcquefled Mr. Frere to
demand er.planatirms of his Government ), had given
•rile. But a-, during this interval, Mr. Fr cre deliv;•r-
ed a fecund note, in which the Spani(h Dlioillry
not yet dilcover what might be the intention ci Eng-
land in the lan flep which Mr. Frere Lad takzn, th,:y
, have thought it indifenfibl,', to rude r me to rerricil
' the English Minittry to erplarn tkuiLlres in 2 frj;:k
and precife manner as to their intentions towar-,k
Spain. Now, fince it is important that, in a!:

tents of the dilpatelies which 1 have jute received

bon. They afford the fulled confirmation of every

thufe of the z t a and 26h J.nuary,refpeaing the fen-
timenrs and C”Tstillsi 01. the Kilt, my Mailer, towards
his Britannic M.•jlfty. I will not here repeat the an-
fwer which his Excell_ncy the Chevalier de Cevallos
gave to Mr. Frere, on the 27th February, with re-
gard to the compleiats btritig'it forward in his three
notesof the 23d and 24th of the fame month. This
anfwer, as wed from its dmplicity and force of its
rearoning, a, trom its conciliating I;;irit, and the molt
pofitive affurances of the King's uprightnefs in all
his proceedings, the fincerity of which is fupportcd
by well known frOls, cannot leave on the Britifh Go
vernment the le o. doubt as to the condo4l of Spain
in the neutrality which the has ad. prod will regard
to the belligerent powers. I fitppofe, my Lord, that
this anfwer teal have reache.l you, and I roer yon
entirety to it.
But as I have ncver loft any opportunity ^f inform-

to communicate to your Excellency what the Cheva-
lier de Cevalios informel toe iii chi. refrea on the
4th March Wt. 44 In the treaty t.f neetrality with
Franco," Pays he, 44 we-have not ddiiiit tea any article
prejudicial to England ; and we have rekted fetrne
which appeared foreign to a treaty of fuleCidy. In
order to fix the aolount of there, regard has been had
to the expence which the fuccours in kith!, fuch as
are Ilipulated in our treaty of alliance with Fiance,
would have cull us. One part even of there fubfidies
is retained for the payment of the fours owed vs by
this power. We have, without violating our neutra.
pity, afforded to the Englifh all the foccours of which
their veffels have been in need. Oar concloft to-
wards the French has alfo been govereett by the fame
principles. The notes tranfrnitted to his Britannic
Majetty's Minifter, refident at this Court, breath r.o-
thing but candour, good faith, and the defire to pre-
ferve the ftritteft neutrality : the moll recent proof
of this is the note which i. tranfmitted to him on the
29th February haft, in anfwer to feveral complaints
which he had addrelfed to mc, and of which I fend
your Excellency a literal copy, to enable you to
make ufe of it to Lord liawhabirry. Yon will there
obferve, that Mr. Firm makes no return to our can•
dour, and to our ovrrture ; (ince at the very time he
protefts that hi, Government entertains the moll ar-
dent defires to keep up a gond tindrolanciiitg with
Spain, he throws cat propatitions capable or :harm-

have demanded of him clear and definite cuplanatireis.
In Ihort, I can alfure your Excellency that nothing
relative to commerce has been flipuhated in the treaty
of fubfidy."
I flatter myfelf, my Lord, in previonfly molting
