SPAIN.

Lord COCHRANE wi3hed_to know from his Ma-
jesty's Ministers, whether they intended to employ
any military force to assist the Spaniards in protect-
ing their coast, which was ill defended through Ca-
talonia.

' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
thought, that if any military force were sent to the
points which the Noble Lord desired, it would afford
assistance to Frai.re rather than Spain.• At the same
time, he wished that the Nob% Lord would not dis-
close to the enemy those points which were open to
attack.

Lord COCHRANE in reply, observed, that what-
ever the Right Honourable Gentleman might think,
the matters he had stated ought to be attended to by
Miniiters.

LORD WELLINGTON'S PENSION.
Mr. LUSHINGTON brought up tbe,Report of
the Committee of Supply. . .

Lord FOLKSTONE hoped, that when they con-
sidered the Address of the City of London, and the
difference of sentiment upon this subject, the House
uld pivse some time before .they agreed to such a
He believed, that if they waited for a very
short time, it would he found that those great ser-
vices, of which so much had been said, would, pro-

bably. he followed by results the most disastrous. If
this were the case, the character of Lord Wellington
as a General, and his claims upon the country for re-
muneration, would be very materially altered. In
order to see whether such results were not likely to
take place almost immediately, he should move, as
an amendment, That the consideration of thit Re-
solution should he postponed till Monday se'nnight."
Mr. Secretary RYDER said, that if ever there
was a question which was carried by the whole and

LONDON.

undivided suffrage of this universal Empire, it was
this Grant to Lord Wellington.— (Loud cries of hear,
hear !) —The country at large was so convinced of the
great merit and important services of this Noble and
gallant General, that nothing could be •conceived
which would give more universal dissatisfaction and
disgust, than for the House to hesitate in passing the
Resolution which was proposed, and which in its

principle had been already agreed on. There was
no precipitancy in passing this Resolution ; it came
before the Home now in the usual manner, and in

the regular stage. He could not see that any future
circumstances which the Noble 1..0rd (Lord Folk-
stone) could anticipateopould at all altcroedrininish
the claim which Lord Wellington had now upon the
Country.

SATURDAY, MARCH S.
PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Mr. t REEVEY was really astonished at the asto-
nishment professed by the Right Honourable Secre-
tary. He could hardly believe his ears whoi he heard
him spc.k of the undivided suffrage of this whole
Univer4al Empire. Were the lti6 Members of that
House who had voted against it forgotten, or did he
find this undivided suffrage in the Address of the City
of Landon? There certainiynever was an officer whose
claims to a pension produced so great a difference of
opinion in that House, as well ai out of it. As this
Bill had only gone into a Committee at two o'clock
this morning, lie thought it was not too long to post-
pone the third reading for the time stated by the
Noble Lord in his amendment.

veyanee, that the British troops sent to occupy.tenti
were refused admission
.by the• Governor,. who un-
blushingly declares; that he shall not either ;resign, et
endanger his authority, until his pension shall have
been discharged. It was supposed at Cadiz, but we
hope on insufficient grounds, that he was utterly in-
different whether he resigned the fortress to enemies
or allies, if he receive either from the doe or the other
the arrears of his stipend ! !
The same Gentleman states, that there are from
1.5 to 18 thousand troops in Cadiz. The whole
...:
the population, on the 14:h ultimo, amounted td
lIIi
nearly 190,000. In die port and magazines there-
were S 5 .days provision for the inhabitants, and spore'
than three months supply for the garrison. Not only
tll4 English and Portuguese regiments from Lisbon
bad arrived, but also the I*X) men who had been
sent- from Gibraltar for the purpose of occupying i
Ceuta.
. The followiig interesting particulars respecting
the clrcumetances iutd resources of Cadiz, are ex-
tracted filen) a letter from that city. If they ate cor-
?Pet, it certainly appears possible to retain the places
if that shall appear advisable, after the enemy shall
have subjugated the rest of the peninsula :
" The meeesnonssof the enemy in this province have been chive.—
racterized by their national activity. Withoint the least opposition
they have overrun the whole province of Andalusia, and they have
sent a flag of truce to the isle de Leon, to demand the surrender
of Cadiz.
" Most of the towns between this city and the frontiers being
open, the invading enemy has-had no mare to do than to march
from the pr.sses to Cordova, Seville and Xeres, and la.t of all to
Port St. Mat y's, which toreros one angle of the bay. In a direct
line across the sailors call it eight wt- nine English miles, but as
the French must mate the circle of the bay, they will have to
march about ,47 English miles before they are opposed by the Isle
Of I .con, strongly fortified and garrisoned with about 10,000 men,
seven miles distant from Cadiz. This island is united to the
neck of land towards Cadiz ; the isthmus i, front a quarter to
halt a mile broad, and is fl.tnkvd hy the sea on one side and by the
bay on the other, enfiladed by zun-boats and men of war, and pro-
tected by rheig.ikx-,:-.1:•:,:.

With great pleasure we announce the arrival of the
fleet from Oporto. Its departure is believed to have
been accelerated by the apprehensions of the approach
of the enemy ; but so late as the 22d, though the ene.,
my was daily expected, he had not appeared on the
shores of the Douro.—This confirms the doubts we
expressed yesterday of the accuracy of the reports
brought by the CoNat.•noß to Plymouth. We think
it probable however that the evacuation of Portugal
thus prematurely announced, will be realized at no very
distant period ; and it would give us real pleasure to
be able to announce, that our army had got away
without annoyance or loss.—We have to state, how-
ever, that Ministers still seem to entertain hopes of
being able to keep Portugal ; for orders were yester-
day issued for 2000 of the King's Foot Guards to
hold themselves in readiness for embarkation on Mon
day next, and there is no doubt that they are destined
for that country. We also know that orders have
been issued to send thither some more Officers of En-

sneers.

The letters from Lic'oon arc not of a later dampaan
former accounts. One of them, dated the lgth,. states,
that the French and Portuguese cavalry had consitin
contact, in the neighbourhood of liadajoa ; and- 414,
in the partial action which took place, the enemy had
IS men killed, and 27 of their horses fell iMo thehandl
of the Portuguese. .

Town

Mr. DENNIS BROWNE spoke in support of the
pension.
Sir THOMAS TURTON strongly censured Mi-
nisters for granting the pension, when they had the
Tellership an their gilt.
General TARLETON said, that he sincerely
wished the British army in Portugal was safe at
home. He had full confidence in Lord Wellington's
skill, if the question was merely to fight a battle
an eur:iny no; much superior in numbers ;
relieved in the present case the superiority of
was deckive. As to what was called the
of*Talavtga, it :appeared td him that it was
gallant defence of a post.. Very soon after
Lord Wellington found it necessary to re-
id he encamped his army in one of the most
!some situations in Eurove, in the marshes

cl this rashness; it would be then tpolate

n,el WOOD considered the speech of the Hon.
to be detracting in the highest .degren.frorn
rits of Lord Wellington. The CalitiAlkies of
y under his command, had been lately stated.,
Lhori,y, as not greater than MR:Omen, from
to of his march from Lisbon. As to the Tel-
of the Ixenequer, he conceived, that such a
would be by no means congenial to the
of Lord Wellington, or any military man.—
, part, if ever he was to be rewarded for his
y services, he should not like it to be rewarded
lecure, he should much prefer a pension. (4
