HOUSE OF LORDS, MAncH 70
The Marquis Of Lansdown said, that after
the unsatisfactory answer OF the. noble EBrl AT
the bead vi his Mairsty's Government TO the
question which had bern put on former oe.
asiou=-ansatiiaetory, he meant, 10 the noble
Earl himself aud 10 The country--he now
rose, after what he knew had passed else
where, for the purpose of imploring the noble
Earl aud the Kings Government, in the pre-
sent unfortunate state 0i the negotiations, 10
lay on the table of iat house the whole of the
papers relative thereto, 10 order 10 have that
- / A A al. 4 L
Earl himself admitted, thai the country and
parliament would bc entitled 10 receive at the
very first moment the public interest would
permit il. lie would, therefore, suggest Ia the
noble Earl, whether he ould not lay the pa
pers on the table before the holidays, and at
ter the holidays the discussion might be gone
into-bul prcviop'ly TO discussing such gene
raj question, full explanation would be ne
cessary, and The papers being before them,
could alone enable the house or individuals to
form mn opinion on he subject.
The Earl Of Liverpool mid, that he entirely
agreed wltl, the noble Lord that his Msjesiy's
servants ought Ia lay before the house, for It's
consideration, the whole of the papers relative
TO the negotiations which had been carried on
with France and Spain, aud such explanations
oi the policy which his Majesty's government
had been directed, Us wosld enable Parlia-
ment and the country 10 form Just determi-
nation. But the noble Lord was mistaken ms
TO what had passed in another place. II was
stated, aud he had no objection TO restate il F.,
that unless some circumstances arose TO rem
der IL improper, il was the intention of his
Mpiesty's Government, on the first conye-
nient day after the recess tolay before Parlia-
mcnt, not only the whole of the papers rela-
tive 10 the negotiations, but n fnil explanation
Of ha b,r inI
guided aud in stating that delay as desirable,
he desired ii TO be fully understood, tina, il
was not on account of any personal convc-
nience, but public grounds that such delay
was necessary. The noble Lord seemed To
understand that all hopes of an amcablc ter
mination oil any proceedings going on had
ceased TO exist ; ii such were his ideas, the
noble Lord had been misniormed of what had
been stated elsewhere. II was stated and he
would repeat II, that the hopes which he 0he
Earl OF LivcrpooD IN common with other
persons, entertained, had considerably abated
but II was moi stated, neither could il be so
stated, consistently with truth and fact, that
all hopes were exingnished Before the
house adjourned for the holidays, he expected
to receive his Majesty commands 10 lay the
papers on their Lordshps table-and he
would then name All early day after the recess
when they would be submitted for their
Lordshlps consideralion-but in doing that
he should not take SO improper proceeding
as to call for any opinion of their Lordships
upon the subject-but il would be for the
house to say whit course they would adopt
after the ducnmcils should be before them -
On the subject Of the bill for the reduction of
the national debt, the second reading OF which
he had given notice of for tomorrow, he had
hp
scnien TO take The discussion ON the bill on
Friday next. The house would therefore per
haps, permit the bill 10 be read II second time
ts-morrow, and their Lordships might be sum
moued for Friday
HOUSE or COMMONS, Marco i9.
Communication Nth Spain
Mr.. j. Smith, seeing the right honorable Sc
eretary OF State for Foreign Affairs in his
place, would take the liberty 10 request his
attention 10 n subject of great importance to
the eonmercialiutcrest The right honorable
Secretary was doubtless aware, that nj present
II was with difficulty that a communication by
land could be maintained between this conn
Try and spain and il was evident that that
difficulty must shortly be increased Under
these circumstances, be wished TO know from
the right honorable gentleman, whether il
was the intention OF government TO establish.
!" 'h' hsHt' way, u packet 10 COrunna
Mr. Canning SAID, he entertained some
doubts as 10 whether the establishment of
packet 10 Corunna would answer the purnose
OF ehecting more rapid communication be-
tween this country aud Spain than at present
existed. lie would state the grounds of hi,
doubt. About month ago, having occasion
TO send instruction to Spain, he had despatch
ed two messengers thither at the same time
One OF the messengers proceeded by the way
OF Coruuna, and the other by the ordinary
route, and the latter arrived ten DAYS sooner
than the former. But whether packet was
established or not, there could he no doubt
that some measure would be adopted by gov
erumcnt for facilitating the communication
between this country aud Spain.
