SPA NISH AF FA IRS.

Previously to commencing the proceedings of the dr.,,- T.ced
HOLLAND rose to put a question to the NoWe Lord 'Lief:-
pool) respecting our relations With Spain. He laid it had been
so much the custom of late for every one who had sp-ten, bv.h
in the House and at the Bar, to preface his observieler.a by ro
apology for his painful duty, he, therefore, in purAuence e•!:e
same system, should assume some little credit for the eety
which he intended to perform, and which required some fo-i-
-tude, If it did not amount to the painful; for whale all the
House were earnestly expecting one topic, it was net very plea-
sant to address them on another. Hit Lordship wished to know
whether, with respect to the Memorial Which was addressed to
the Allied Powers by the Court of 11:-.ssia, Such an anr.var h sil .
been given by our Government as ought to have been, nanwly,
proating the principles it avowed? Alse, whether a cumin i• -
hcation laid been made to Spain, stating such an answer to baei
been given, and expressing our congratulations on the chavi:e.
tvhich had taken place, and the prospect of the blessirge th:y,
the Spanish people, were lady to obtain under a free Gevere-
ment ? lie would further ask, what the engagements wet&
which it appeared from that paper had been entered into by the
Allied Powers, and whether this country was a party to theta ?
Lord LIVERPOOL said, he knew of no engagements
the kind alluded to by the /Coble Lord; and that if s.cii
existed, this country was no party to them. The commtn.i:a.•
tions which had taken place between this country and Spin,
merely went to prone the desire of his Majesty's Ministers to
keep up a good understanding, and to maintain the relations ef
peace and amity with Spain ; and to express a hope that ti .r
proceedings now going on under the Cortes may lead to a ha f;; f
adjustment of the affairs, and promtte the welfare of the Si..-
nish laden.
Lord HOLLAND would not 'mass the subject further on the
Noble Lord after the answer which be Lad given.
The Order of the Day being moved by Lord LIIERPOO/ • t'
House was called over. There were Lu: two defaulters, L rl
Alvanley and-Lord Ilessinton.
