Minifters, to charge him with mikondeet? He hoped
Oat if it was, they would afford him the means of
defending himfelf, and of difclefing every ation of
his public or of his private life. He trufled he Osould
receive an explicit anfwer from the candour of a
Noble LOrd whom he then taw in his place, and
whom he thought he could with fafety call his friend.
Lord HANVICESSURY faidi that he could not
undertake to give any anfwer, or to enter into an
explanation refpeeting what had paffed in another
Nace ; but as far as his owft enquiries went into the
oble Lord's conduct, either before or after he left

grounds for thinking that fuch a meafure as the No-
ble Lord alluded to was in contemplation.

The Order of the Day for taking into confiders-
Con the papers relative to the rupture with Spain laid
on the Table by order of his Majefly, being read,
Lord MULG RAVE rote, and laid that in laying
before their Lord( !lips the papers contained in the
Era volume which had been laid on the table, he was
confeous that he had fo far fulfilled his duty as to
liibmit to their eon fideration every paper which to
himfelf apv•Jred material, in forming a true judg-
ment on 11,e queflion at dug. When other paper, had
been deemed neceffary in another place, he had felt
that his duty, and refpeet to that Houk. called on him
not to allow their Lordthips to yield to any in the
extent of their information on the fubjea. Now,
however, that the whole Papers at
all
conneaed
with the bulinefs were on their Lordfhips' Table,
be fubmitted that no imputation emild attach to
him, as if be had willingly made any concealment
trom their Lordibips, or had originally withheld a
!Ingle document of importance. From a perufal of
there papers he trolled it would appear to their Lord-
(hips that the conduit both of the late and prelim
Adminiflration had been governed by a fpirit of mo-
deration and forbearance which did them credit, and
that in far from provoking a war, or arroLantll in-
Coifing over a weaker enemy, and driving them into
hoftilities, we had (hewn our magnanimity, in taking
their &kneelers Gate into confideration, and bad
only proceeded to extremitiel when a Rudied conceal-
ment, or rather relufal to give us any fatisfaftion on
their pert, made it no longer prudent or fife for us
to perfevere its our fyflem of indulgence. While,
r! %fore, our magnanimity mug remain uncpieltion-
J, the only other conlideration mule be, had we to
bl,:idly fallen into the deception pratifed on us, as to
be totally inaflive, or to allow our enemies to take
advantage of our define to preferve peace, and turn
it elTentially to our prejudice. In this refpea too,
there would be found ground of congratulation.—
By the promptnefs of our exertions and the aBivity of
our fleets and cruizers, we had been enabled to avert
the confequences which mutt have been in the contem-
plation of our enemiet,inendeavouringto a void coming
to a clear and explicit underftanding on the fubjeft.
Their trealure-fltips were not now enriching the cof-
fers of Bonaparte, bur had been intercepted and de
tt:ned by our fleets. It had been flitted by a Noble
Lord oppotite. that if the lumen 'cranked by Spain
trance were only in terms of the Treaty of Ilde-
ticon, that was no jolt ground of war on the part of
• kvernment. To fimport an opinion of ibis kind,
