stances, those who had formed it must resort to that
House, to state the deficiency, and endeavour to make
it good.
The several Resolutions were then agreed to; and
a Committee of Ways and Means of the whole
House was fixed for to-morrow.
ALLIED POWERS.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
brought up certain separate and additional Articles,
between the Allied Powers, subsequent to March the
Scf, 1813, and signed at Leipsic, on the 22d of Oc-
tober.—Ordered.to lie on the Table.
PAYMENTS TO THE COURT OP SPAIN.
Mr. A. BARING, previous to his moving for
Papers relative to Payments to the Court of Spain,
expressed a wish to ascertain how far the power of
furnishing the contingent of this country had been
reserved to us ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
observed, in reply, that many things remained in an
unarranged stare, which would be settled by his
Noble Friend (Lord Castlereagh) at Vienna. He had
no difficulty in stating, however, that we bound our-
selves to furnish our portion of troops fer the general
purposes to which they might be employed in the at-
tainment of the common end.
. Mr. A. BARING said, that, in making the mo-
tion he was about to submit for the production of
papers respecting our payments to the Court of Spain,
there was one point he wished most to clear up. He
was desirous to know if the sole object of the agree-
ment with that country, was not purely for the pur-
pose of taking money from the people of this? Sub-
sidies had been granted to Spain, on the condition of
her keeping such and such a description of force;
and he could regard such a proceeding as nothing
short of a subsidiary treaty. His object, therefore,
was to obtain such paper or papers as might throw
light on the application of the sums granted in conse-
quence of the subsidiary treaty with Spain. It was
a serious consideration that money had been granted
at all, and in the manner it had been, without any
communication to Parliament on the subject. What
he wanted to know was, what kind of agreement had
been entered into with Spain after the Treaty of
Paris, and what money had been paid in consequence
of it, since the restoration of Ferdinand had taken
place ? He wished to know, at the same time, what
Spain actually stood indebted to us. He should
never have objected to the grant of money that mijiht
be necessary to stimulate the operations of the Spanish
• army in the common cause ; but when the war was
over, his Majesty's Ministers had taken on themselvesi
to-sitithorise very considerable payments to the Court'
of Spain, and this at the very moment when Spain
was considerably our debtor. Nothing in the conduct
of the Spanish Court could induce him to go farther.
The papers he moved for would, he believed, con-
vince the House that it was improper for them to con-
• tissue in the same course with regard to Spain, and
euablish the propriety and necessity of the motion he
was about to make. Anxiety could not be too much
manifested on this head, when the House considered
the rumour now so generally afloat, which many be-
livved—he alluded to the general opinion entertained,
throughout the country, that the Court of Spain bad
been encouraged in its late career by the Governolis
of Great Britain.—(lfeer, far),—He °by no means
contended for the right of intermeddling with the
Government of another State ; yet, considering what
we had sacrificed in the cause of Spain, and coupling,
• it with the present circumstances of that country,
seeing the pernicious measures of the authority there
established, if ever the right of interference was justi-
fied, and called for, it seemed to be demanded here.
Even the first act of the re-established Government
of Spain was an act of hostility on our con"

There was nothing but suspicion in the present aspect
of things. Ministers were called upon to explain.—
He should conclude by moving, 46 That an humble
Address be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince?
Regent, praying that he would be graciously pleased
to order to be laid before that House a Copy or Co-
pies of any agreement that had been entered into be-
tween Sir Henry Wellesley and the Spanish Govern-
ment, relating to Subsidies, since the signing of the
Treaty of Paris.“
Mr. W. POLE thought it was impossible for the
Honourable Gentleman (Mr. A. String) to have so
entirely misunderstood the nature of Ilse relations sub-'
sisting between this country and Spain. Lord Castle.;
reagh had himself stated, in that House, during the
last Session, that certain treaties or engagements were
about to be contracted, which would bind us to pro-
vide either troops or money, all which treaties were
then in a state of forwardness. 4pain, notwithstand-
ing what the Honourable Gentleman said of subsi.'
dicing, had received only part of the £lOO,OOO that
was voted to her during last Session; and even this
money was disbursed at the discretion of our Ambas-
sador or Commander who might happen to be sta-
tioned there. In consequence of representations to
the Secretary of State here, as to the necessity of dis.
banding the Spanish troops that were about to return
to their country, two months instalment, out of four,
had certainly been paid. But why this remuneration
to the troops of Spain, it was asked, when Spain her-
self still owed monies to us ? Ministers had always
understood that accounts of this kind were to be
wound up at the close of the war, when the diffe-
ratie would be settled by the Spanish Gcorernment.
Itt the mean time. the restoration of Ferdinand VII.
takes place, who returns to his throne without the
means of satisfying the demands of his disbanded
troops but was England, who bad guaranteed to
peptide for them, now to be condemned for having
made good her faith ? (Hear, heir.)—As to the no-
torious acts of outrage and tyranny, to which, in the
opinion of many wise men, the Government of Bonin
had since conceived it expedient to resort, be was per-
fectly 'unconcerned in them. He would be quite sa-
tisfied for himaelf, and fur dime with whom be had
the houotir to act. if the Honourable Gentleman
(Mr? A. Baring) would have the candour to Mate,
after all, that be believed his Majesty's Government
to be ineapible of autborislßg, much less encouraging
