D E C L A R A T I O N .

From the moment that hostilities had commenced between- Great -Britain and France, a sufficient g.roiind of war against Spain, on the part ot Great Britain,- neceS' sarily followed from'the''Treaty of St. Ilcle-phonso, if. not disclaimed by Spain.

T h a t Treaty , in fact, identified Spain wit h t lie Republican Government of France, bv a virtual' acknowledgment of unqualified vassalage, and by specific stipulations of unconditional offence.

By the articles of that Treaty , Spain co-v en art ted to furnish a stated contingent of naval and military foice for the prosecution of any war in which the French Republic might think proper to engage. S h e specifi-cally surrendered any right oi pretention ' to enqniife into the nature, origin, or j ustice'of the war. She stipulated, in the fitst instance, •a contingent of troops and ships, which, of itself, -comprises no moderate.proportion of the means at her disposal ; but in the event of this contigent being at any time found in-sufficient for the purposes of France, she further bound herself to put in .a state of ac-tivity the utmost.toft'ej boih'bysea and land, thai it should'be in lie'r p o w e r to collect.— She1 covenanted that this force should be at the disposal cf France, to be employed con-jointly or separately for the annoyance of the com uion e n e m y ; thus-submitting her entire' poorer and resources to be itsed as the instru-ments of French ambition and aggression, and to be applied in whatever pioportion France might think proper, for die avowed purpose of eudeavo'ii-iiiig to subvert the Governn'ie'nt, and destioy the national e x -istence of' Great Britain. •

T h e character of Such a Treaty gave Great Britain an i'n'cOntestible right ro declare to Spain., fhat unl'ess'she d.ecidedly renounced the Treaty , or gave assurances that she wbuld'tTH perform t he obligations of it, she would,not be consideie'd as'a neutral power.

T h i s right, however , for p'rudeiitiaFrea-sons,. and from motives' oi' forbearance and tenderness towards Spain , Was not exercised in its lull extent:, and, in consequence cf assurances' of a pacific disposition on the part of cthe-Spanish Goyemment, His M A -J E S T Y did not, in five first instance, insist <;:i a distinct and formal renunciation of the Treaty. It does riot appear that any express demand ofsuccour had_been made by France before the month- of J u l y , 1803 ; and on the first notification,of, the yj:u.r, His Majes-ty's Minister at iyia]l,nd wasded to believe, in consequence of communicattons w-hich " passed between him and the Spanish Go vern -n r e n t , " f h a r H ' i s C A T H ' O L I C M A J E S T Y d id !

not consider himself as necessarily bound'by -the me.re-iact of the existence of a war be-tween Great Britain arid.France, without subsequent ^explanation and .discussion, to 'fulfil the stipulations of:-the Treaty of St. I ldephonso, .though the Articles of that Treaty'vypuld certainly giv.e rise to a very different interpretation.- in the month of Octpoer laceqn.v.ention wassigned,- by which Spain a^teed to pay to Fi ance a certain siim monthly,".in lieu of ' the 11 a'v.al and military succours which, they; had stipulated by the Treaty to provide, but- of the amcnjnt of this sum, or 'o f the nature of any-other stipula-tions which that Con ventioii-might contain, no official in'foi matjon w.hat-cv,cr was given.

It was immediately stated by his Majes-ty's Ministers at Madrid to the Spanish Go-vernment, that a subsidy as large as that which fh,ey w i re supposed'to have engaged to pay' to France, far 'exceeded the 'bonds of forbearance ; that it-coo Id meet only with a temporary connivance, as if it was con iii- ' n;ae'd,! it" might prbve in fact a greater injury th an any other hostility. - In reply to these rfemoristririces, it was represented as'"an expedient to'gaih time, as assurances were ' given Which' "'were' confirmed' by circum -tasnces, Which cam'e' to' h'ts'- 'M A j i . E J: Y'S knowledge'from other quarters, that thei disposition of the Spa'eishgo vei'nment'w'.ould ihduC'e' iher/r.',to ex;lica'tc:' 'tkernseli es from this engagement, ;if the-'course of events' shouid admit of Their doing so with safety.

Whep S i s .M,A jEs.TT .h'ad 'first,reason to believe that such a "Convention .was- con-, cludedi he directed his Minister at. Madrid to declare chat his forbear ing ' to consider Spain as an.Enemy must-depend in some degree-up.o,n.the amount.' ci. the. succours.*' and. upon.he;: maintaining^,,'pcrfect neutra-lity in. ali other respects'; . but that it would be impossible for, idm to',consider a perma-nent payment; to tHe amounL .of .that which was stated to have been ill agitation, in apy other.iight.than.as a-dirccj. s.u^'sidy of war . His , ,Majesty 's :Envoy wasd i rec ted , there-fore, first to proiest against the convention,,

as a violation p f neutrality, and a-justifiable, cause for war ; secondly, to declare, that ou r abstaining from hostilities liius't depend upon its being only a ' temporary measure, and that we must be at liberty to consider a perseverance in ' i t a s ' a .causie for w a r ; thirdly, that the-entrance :of. a.hy French, troops into Spain: mf)stbe refused;; fourthly, that any njtv.al^'prepavatioii j'mu.st, be a .ea^ise ot jealousy; and any attempt to give naval assistance to France an -immediate' cause of wai ; fifthly," that tlie Spanish ports must

. remain open.to our comincrc'e, and that bur ships of war must' have equak treat rrVeht with those of France. His Majesty's- Mi -

/ nister was also instructed, it any French troops entered S p a i n , ' o r if he received au-

' thenticinformation of any armaments pre-paring foi tlie assistance of France, to leave Madrid, and-to give immediate notice to our naval commanders, that they might proceed, to hostilities without toe delay that might be occasioned by a reference home.

The-execution of these instructions pro-duced a variety qf- discussions ; during which His Majesty's Minister, told M r . C E V A L L O S , in answer to this question, Whether a cbntinuancc of such pecuniary succours to France, Would be considered as a ground of war, and whether he was 'au-tiiorised to declare it ? that lie was so au-thorized, arid that war would be the infal-lible consequence.

It was, however , still thought desirable by His MA J E S T y , to protract, if possible the decision of this question ; and it was therefore stated in the instructions to his Minister at Madrid, that as the subsidy was represented by the Spanish Government to he moiety a temporary measure, I i i s M A -J E S T Y might :-itiil continue to overlook it for a lirrre';' but that his decision in this res-pect must depend upon knowing the precise nature of all the stipulations between Spain and France, and upon the Spanish Govern-ment being determined to cause their neu-trality to be respected in ali other particu-lars, That until these questions were an -

' swered in a -satisfactory manner, and the Convention communicated to him, he could give no.positive answer whether , he would make the pecuniary succours a cause of jyar or not.

Before the reccipt of these instructions, dated January 'l 1 , 1804 , the report of.some na.v-nl.ai roamen's iri the' ports o f ' S p a i n had occasioned a fresh 1 correspondence between His Majesty's' Minister and the Spanish Go-vernment. In one of the notes-presented' by the former, he declares', that if the K i n g was forced to begin a war , he would

. want no other declaration than'what.be' had already made. T h e answers of the Spa-nish Government were at first of an evas'ive nature; His Majesty's Minister closed the correspondence on his part by a note deli-vered on tlje r 8th F e b i u a i y , in which he declares that all further forbearance on the part of England <>nist,denend upon the ces-sation of all naval armaments, and a pro'-hi bitionfof the"sale'of prizes'-in' their ports; and unless these points were agreed to'with-out modification, he had orders to .leave Madiid. . On the second of these points' a satisfactory answer was given, and orders issued.accordingly ; on the first a reference was made-to former declarations'. T o t h e question abo.ucclosing the treaty with France iiri satisfactory answer was ever given.. As however 110 naval preparation appeared to be proceeding at that period in the ports' df Spain, rhe matter was allowed to remain there- for a time. ' • " ' •;

. In the. month of July,-1804, the Govern-ment of.cSpairi gave assurances of faithful and, se,t.t 1 e d i iri e u f r a lit y , and disavowed any Orders to,arm in their potts ; yet id thes.ub-scq'u.ent month when' theseasstiranees were recent, and a'confident'reliance reposed in tlverri,'lire British Charge d'Affa.ifes fcceiyed advice from the A'diniral c.chmii a riding" .His: ' Majesty's ships o f f tlie. port of Fer io l , that

:reiriforcemeri,ts of' soldiers and sailors had' aiTived through Sp'ain for the French fleet's .at Toulon arid Ferro l . . On this inteHi-'gehce' two notes' were presented to the Spa' :

nish Ministers, but no answer was received ' to either of -them. Towards the end.of the,' month of- :September, information was re-ceivedin London from .'the British Admiral: stationed off FerVq'l,' that orders had actu-'

i a l ly been' gi veri b f tlieiCburt o f ; Madrid for : ' arming .without loss of , time, at that port," fbrif 'ships of. the' l ine, two, frigates,' aiid, other, smaller vessels ; '^nd that (according

tp his iritell'ige'ric'e) similar orders had' been given at Carthagena and Cadiz , arid parti-,' culari'y that three first rate ships of . the line' we re di recre'd to sail from' i he last .mentioned por t ; and, as ari additions) proof o f hos-' Hie intentions, that brd'eiVhad been gve'n to arm the packets as in; tirii'e. pf war. .' '

Here then appeared a direct .aiid':nn^'<jiii-vocai violation 8f the terms 611 which 'the-

conuriuancc of peace had been acquiesced in ; previous 'poticc-having been given to tlie

/Spanish Government, that a state of war would be theimmediate consequence of such a measure, iiis .Majesty on this 'event stood almost pledged to an instant • commencement ot hostilities;; the K i n g however preferred .a persevering adherence to-the system of mo-deration (so: congenial to- iris disposition : he resolved to leave-still an opening for accom-modation, if Spain should be still allowed the liberty to-adopt-the-course- prescribed by a just sense of her'own interests,and security. It is here worthy, of remark, , that the groundless and ungrateful imputations thrown out against his Majesty's conduct , in theSpanish Manifesto, are-built upon the foundation of this forbearance- alone. Had his Majesty excrcised without reserve -his just rights of .war , the representations so falsely asserted, and so insidiously dwelt upon, could not have been even stated under any colourable pretext: the indulgence, therefore, which postponed the actual state of war , was not only - misrepresented, but transformed into a ground of complaint, be-cause the forbearance extended to the ag-gressors was not carried to a dangerous and inadmissible extreme. In consequence of the intelligence above stated, directions were sent co His Majesty's Minister at Madrid, to make representations and remonstrances to the Spanish Court, to demand explanations relative to the existing Conventions between Spain and France ; and,, above all,, to. insist,, that ihe naval armaments in their ports should be placed on the same footing as they were previously to the commencement of hostilities between Great Britain and'France : And he was further directed explicitly to state to the Spanish Government, that His M I.J 'ESTYfe. 't a duty imposed upon him o:' taking, without delay, every measure of precaution; and, particularly, of giving orders to his Admiral off the port of Ferrol to prevent any of the -Spanish ships of war. trom entering it.

N o substantial redress, no. satisfactory e x -planation, was afforded in consequence of these repeated representations ; while, under the''coyer of his M A J E S T Y ' S forbearance,' the enemy.had received considerable remit tances of treasure, -together with the facility of procuring other supplies.

E v e r y circumstance of the general conduct of Spain was peculiarly calculated,to excite the vigilant attention of the British Govern-ment—the removal of Spanish ships cut of their docks, to make room tor the accom-modation of the men of war' of France— the march of French troops and seamen through the Spanish territory—-the aquip-ment . of naval armaments, at Ferrol—the consideration that the junction of (his arma-ment with the French ships already in that harbour would create a decided superiority of numbers over His Majesty's squadron cruizing- of f that port—the additional naval exertion's, and the consequent increase o f e x -pence which thisconduct of Spain necessari-ly imposed upon Great Britain. All these together req|iired those precautions, both of representation and action, to which His M A J E S T Y had-im mediate recourse. While official notice Was given of His Majesty 's in-tention to adopt those nccessary measures, t h e S p a n i s h Government was at the same time assured, that His M A J E S T Y stiTfelt an earnest desire to maintain a good under-standing with S p a i n ; but that °the'continu-ance of such -a'state of things must be .sub-ject to the condition of abstaining on their , p a u from all hostile preparations, and'on making, without hesitation or reserve, that, full and, explicit:,disclosure on.the nature and * extent of the subsisting engagements with France, which.had hitherto been frequent-ly, and so fruitlessly demanded.

T h e preca utions adopted by Hi's M A -J j: T Y, were such only as he deemed indispen-sibly necessary toguarci against the augmen tatiori by Spain of her means of naval pre-paration during the discussions,..and against the possible consequences of the said arr ival of the expected American T i ensure in the Spanish ports:; an event which "lias move .than once, in former tiriies, become the' epoch of the.termination, of discussions, and of the commencement of hostility on the part of Spain.

T h e o r d e r s i s s u e d b y his M A J E S T Y , o n this occasion, to the Admirals commanding, his fleets, afford the most striking example of a scrupufqus and indulgent forbearance ; the most strict limitation w<b'givc"n as to the extent and object of the measures proposed ; and the execution of those orders was guard-ed with the strcr.g'cst-injunctions to avoid, by every means consistent with the atrainment of their object, any .act of violence of hostility agaii-Kt the. dominions or subjects of his C A T B O E I C - M A J E S T Y . T h e host i l e P r e -par,ations.iu the,-harbour-of Feii-oL render-, ed it necessaryj the first- instance, that a

veinforceurent should be added to- the squa -dron cruizing of f that p o r t ; and orders were sent at the same time conveyed to the-British Admirals to send intimation t o t h e Spanish Government of the instructions they had received, and of their determination iti consequence to resist, under the present ci;i-

: curnstances, the sailing either of trie French or Spanish fleets, if any attempt for . that purpose-should be made by either of them.

His Majesty's pleasure was at the same time signified, that they were not to detain* in the first instance, tiny ship belonging to H'is-CATH'OL'IC M A J E S T Y , sailing from a pott of Spam ; but to, require the Co'mman-der of such ship.to return directly to the port from whence she came, and onlv, in the event of his refusing, to comply with such requisition, to detain and send her to Gibral-tar, or to England.

. Further directiona-were,given not to de-tain any Spanish honiew.aid bound ships o f war , unless they should have treasure ore board, nor mere-ham ships of that nation, however laden, on any account whatsoever:, i hat, in tire prosecution of those measured

of precaution, many valuable lives -should have been sacrificed, is a subject of much regret to H i s M A J E S T Y , who laments it as an event produced'alone by an unhappy concui rence of circumstances, but which can in no degree affect the me ! its of the case. T h e question of the just principle, and due exercise of His Majesty's l ight, rests upon every foundation of the L a w of Nature and of Nations, which .enjoin and justify, the adoption of such measures as are requisite lor defence, and the prevention of aggression.

It remains only f u r ; her to observe, that , if any additional proof were requisite of the wisdom and necessity of precautionsry measures, that proof would be found eved in the declaration relied upon in the Mani-festo of Spain, in which its Government now states itself to have contemplated frora the beginning of the war , the necessity of making itself a party to it., in suppoit of the pretentions of Frqnce, cxpiessly declaring, that ; ' - S p a i n and Holland, who. treated' -jointly with. France at Amiens, aud whose interests and pokt'ea! relations we re so closely co 11 riccted with ^her, must have with diili -cuity leriained id'om taking part against ihe :

injuries" and insults'offSrVcfio her ally. ft will further appear by a reference to

the dates and results of the.several represent tations made by His".Majesty's Charge d ' A f -fairs at Hie Court-ol^'-Spain.' timrno detehfk n of the. Spa iii.-,h treasure-ships ever was ia question during the discussions which pre- . ceded his dcpartuie from Madrid. T h a t ground of complaint therefore, which : lias . since been so much relied upon, formed no part of the motive of-rhe ' previous ho'stiie character so strongly manifested by the Spa.- -n ish-Conrt in their mode of treating the .points in discussion,--nor, as will appear in-the sequel, of thefmal rupture of the neso-.ci'a'tioij at. Madrid. "

:On :the twenty-sixth of October, One' thousand Eight hundred and Four , H i s M A J E S T Y ' S Charge d'Affaires presented a note to the Spanisli Minister, in which the following conditions were insisted upon., as" preliminary to the appoiisiment of a Minis-ter from Great- Britain, who might treat of

The adjustment of other matteis which re-mained for discussion. T h e Conditions were three ; first, that the orders, given at

•Ferrbi; Cadiz, end'Carthagena, should be, . countermaneleel, as w ell' for the equipment of ships of war in any of those ports,, as for

their removal from One' of those portis to another. Secondly, that not ouly the pre-

sent armameuts'should 'be discontinued, but that the establish men; of 's'hip~s-0'f war in the idifferent.p.oits should be replaced on the foot-ing-on which they,stood at the commence-ment. of -hostilities between England and France. ' T h i r d l y , that a full disclosure

:sh'Ould:.be m a i j e of- the'existing 'chgagerpents , a n d ' "the future intentions of Spain with j respect tq Fratue . From, the period ahove-r { mentioned to the 3d of N o v . severakofficia-l.

Notts passed between His-Majesty's ClfaVge ' d'Affaii-es-and the Spanish' Minister:," consist-, ; ing, wilbiittle variation in their,tenopr., of ]! ufgent-demands- of satisfaction ; on- - the ohe-: side-,-, i-and-of evasive and: •unsatisfactory 'se-i plies'on'.; t'he.other. A f t e r repeated delays

and reiterated applications, H i s Mfijesty's Charge. d'Affaires- received his passports on the-.7th ot November. ; and. departed from Madnqlon the 14th of that month. During, the whole of this'negotiation,, no mentiore vyas made of the detention of the Spanish treasure ships, nor does "it any where appear that an account had beoti received at Madr id of t hat t.ra;:! s a ci io a. It is evident, therefore^ notwithstanciing. the attempt made by the Spanish Court to avail itself 'of thai evcnt s

jri. the'Manifesto which has.bcVn since, pub-lished, that the state of war must equal ly have arisen'between Great Britain and

Spain, had the detention never taken, place, and.that in point of fact, the, rupture ulti-mately rook place upon grounds of distinct form, and totally unconnected with that measure.

T h e leading circumstances which charac-terize.the reiterated abuse of His M A J E S -TY'S moderation, were each .OF them of a na-ture to exhaust any less settled system of lenitv and forbearance.— Succours, afforded to his enemies j explanations refused or evaded, after repeated demands ; conditions violated, after distinct notice that on them depended the continuance of peace. Such has been the conduct of the Spanish Court; and.it is, under these, circumstances, that His M A J E S T Y finds the domineering influ-ence of France exerted, and the Spanish nation in a state of declared and open war.

His M A J E S T Y appeals with confidence to all Europe for the; acknowledgement of his- exemplary. .moderation in the wno.le course of these transactions. His M A J E S -TY feels with regret , the necessity which places him in a state of hostility with Spain; and would with heartfelt satisfaction observe on -the part ol that Country, the assu mption of a more dignified sense of national im-

'por.tance, and a more independent exercise of sovereign rights.

•His M A J E S T Y would indeed be mos happy to discover in the Councils of Spain a reviving sense of those ancient feelings (

and-honourable propensities which have at ! ail,'times been, so congenial to the Spanish character, and which: in better times have marked the conduct of its Government.— His . - M A J E S T Y will , on his pait, eagerly embrace the first opportunity thus offered of resuming a state of peace and confidence with a-nation, which has so many ties of common interest to connect it with Great EritaitV; and which he has hitherto been ever disposed to regard with sentiments of the iU;.'io-i coosideiatio/y and esteem.

HOUSE OF LORDS'—JaH. 44. • J U D G E KOX.

T h e Marquis of ABER.CO.RN, after a few preparatory observations in .which he expressed liU deference to the opinion of the Noblpand Learned Lords on such a subject, moved, for the appointment of a Committee . to consider of the matters which have been a lied ged against Mr. justice F o x , and of the: evidence which may be brought,in sup port of the same.

The L O R D C H A N C E L L O R - f u l l y an- . -0 roved of the shape in which the motion was brought forward, and made a few ob se-rv-ations on the.importance and .delicacy,ol the case that; was to come under their consi-deration.

Lora H A W K K S B U R Y also tho,tight the subject of impofiance-ind-e::t-feniedelicacy. Their Lordships would see how closely' it was -connected with two •important Acts, ' the ijjth of William I f f . and the first o f the K i n g , and they would consider the object a-ncl intention ol these Acts, Th i s conside-ration -would lead them up to reflect how j far the discussion of such a point might af- j feet one of the most solid and sacred bul -warks of the Constitution ; for with a view to the security of the..subject and the uncon-trolled administration: of justice, next to the independence of. Pailtainent, and the

1 Tr ia l by Jury , he would hot hesitate to rank the.independence .of the judges. But while that independence which could not be called in.question; even by the prerogative of the Crown, without, the concurrence of Pav-ment, should be touched with every possi-ble t'eiiJei ness and respect; their Lordships, would not lose sight of. the justice that was due to the public, and .with all their defe-rence for.the sacied. character ©,f, the Judge, they would nevei'theifes&look for that recti-' tude.and sanctity of conduct which alone could constitute that sacredness, and chal-lenge that respect and veneration in which such a character, should beheld.

' T h e Marquis of A B E R C O R N perfectly acquiesced in every thing that was advanced by his Noble Friend, and by the Noble and L,earn-ed Lord ; and he wfould endeavour to shape, .'bis .conduct.accordingly.

T h e question was. then put and agreed to,

T h e Noble Marquis then moved, that all the Noble Lords; who had been present at,this Sessionj be Members of the Com-mittee and that it do sit on the 7th of F e -bruary.

M r . W I N D H A M rose, for the purpose of making a motion, to which, he was con-fident, there could be no objection. It re-ferred to a point upon which, when he brought forward his motions a few days since, it was his wish to have obtained full and distinct information. H e was still of , opinion, that it would be necessary to pro-cute information separately on this head* in order to enable the House, when the situa-. tion of the militaiy circumstances ol the country should come to be discussed, to form a clear and impartial opinion upon it. He-had'been -led to give up this motion by a spirit of accommodation to his Right Hon. Friend oh the other side of the House, and to generalise the motions, he on th it occasion Submitted ; but as, it often happened, that whilst acting under such an impulse, a man might concede more than upon reflection he would .deem consistent with prudence or discretion, be proposed in the present in stance, to correct his former omission by a specific motion. His object in making it was, to ascertain the number of men that h a d been r a i s e d in C o l o n e l F R E N CI-I'S l e v y . He was a'waie that as-his former motions took in the new levies in .-England, Ireland, a'iid Scotland, it might be said that this pre-sent motion was included in one of them. But as the only inconvenience that could be apprehended, from it would be, that Col. F R E N C H ' S l e v y ' w o u l d be r e t u r n e d in the double, that'inconvenience would be obvi-ated by his movingdor a separate return of that levy. He therefore moved, <c that thete! be laid before the House a-- separate account ol the number: of effective men raided for 'Colonel F R E N C H ' S levy in the United Kingdom for general service, distin-guishing the -number of tee'ruits finally ap-proved up to the last return,- also the num-ber that had received bounties as boys, and the number of O f f i c e r s appointed in that levy."—Ordeied.

The C H AN, of the E X . then-rose, and observed it would he highly'expedh-nt, be fore the question Should conic to tic discussed, to have a complete view of the aggiegate military lurce ol the country in one connect-ed a c c u t r . He wished Gentlemen to be put in possession of the most satisfactory' ilnd comprehensive information-on the subject, and with a view to that , object, moved, !C thai there be laid before the House an ac>» count bf the tonl amount of His'Majesty's regular militia, and provincial forces, on the 1st Jan 1804, and the ' Pst : J an . 1805 , .respectively, clistingimhing the limited from the unlimited lofcej ami cirva-liy from in-fantry ; and also those serving in Great Bri-tain, Ireland, and'the I:;'.ant!- of Guernsey and Jersey, and those serving in guatds and 1

garrisons abroad."-—Ordered'.

S f AN I S'H P A P E R S. Mr. G R E Y ' t h e n rose, for the purpose of

giving "notice of some motions, which it was his intention to submit to the- Hotase 011 Monday. After all the attention which it had been in Ill's power to be'tow on the Pa pei;s relative to the new war in which we were now unfortunately engage, in the short period si-tice they had been distributed.; it ap-peared to him, that.there were many impor-tant omissions, which it was material fo have supplied before the main question should be discussed, and to enable the House to form a just and impartial opinion on • the merits of the case. It could not be denied, that on so solemn -and momc-ntous a question, every in-fo.rmation ought to be given : to Patliament, as far as it might be consistent with the inte-rests of the public service. It was with a view, therefore, to supply the omissions

.which appeared to him in the Papers laid be-fore the House, that he proposed to- bring forward the mo'tions of which he -then : gave notice.—The precise objects to which they would relate were, some farther information' respecting the correspondence between Lords H A W K E S B U R Y a n d H A R R O W B Y , a n d M r . F R E R E , a n d the d i s c u s s i o n s if a n y , that might have taken place between the Spanish Minister here and His Majesty's, 'Govern-ment. There were others points, also, on which information was necessary,, b'ut' as he did not conceive any objection that could be made to granting it, he'was not equally in-clined to think it necessary to give any pre-vious notice of his motions respecting Vuch topics. It would be felt generally how very desirable it was to have all the information that could possibly be prdcurecl on the ' Sub-ject as early as may be, before'it should come under discussion.- As , hoiveVd:ri,j -there might be some objection to the immediate production' of tiie 'information he wished : to obtain which-he "cobld not then foresee, it might be mbre fegula'Mo read the- motions he proposed to make in that instance-,- previ-ous to his moving th^ question .:of any' of them, that he might disebver hbw the;Rrgh't

Hon., Gentleman opposite would fee!, with respect to them, and if there should be any difficulty in acceding to them, he had no ob-jection to let them stand over, noticed with his other motions for Monday. . T h e Hon.

T h e C H A N , of the E X . expressed a wish, that the Hon. Member w o u l d pos-pone his Motions till Monday, on the ground that i.t ..might be necessary to consider how far it would be proper to comply with them, consistently w ith the public.service.

T h e motions were then .noticed for Mon-day. , . •

•The CHAN-, of tiie E x . next intimated an opinion, that it.would be desirable to have the object of the Hon. Gentleman's othei motions more specifically stated, in order to afford an opportunity of considering them, previous to their being submitted to the House.

Mr . G R E Y , in explanation of hi.i object-stated, that his wish was to have the omis-sions appearing in the papers, before the House supplied as fully as'possible. In the first packet of instructions transmitted b y L o r d H A W K E S B U R Y to M r . F R E R E ,

forming the f/rst document in-the published papers, theie was a reference to orevious communications,' which, as they did .no: appear, it was his wish to obtain. Another object was to obtain copies of tbc.discus'sidhs .that must necessarily have taken place during, .he chasms of many months that appeared in the papers, for the purpose of completing the links of discussion, from/the first ques tion:of difference to:-the;final luptute ; and lastly, ,he wished ro ha ve the House , put in possession of the discussions that might- have taken place between the Spanish Minuter and our Government here, 01 the communica-tioiis'that might have been m-di-.to our Mi

Teif Hamburgh Mails arrived yesterday. ! F i ve more regiments have bi oken up Irom ! Bohemia to join the Austrian cordon on the

T h e r e is no doubt,- however , that-thossapparent differences wil l soon be ter-minated in an amicable manner. ..Our funds

- have again assumed their; usual position, and are now between 37 and 5 8 . "

One of the reports-was, that an' alteria'tion' had taken place at the Levee betw.een B o -naparte and Cotint Cobentael: which report; we have already saidj was well founded, though great pains are taken at Paris to con-ceal Or contradict it.

We sus-peer, however; that BONAPARTE had-,the gratifying the P'OPE less in. view in acceding to this reqCiest,' than' the conciliating of Rus-sia,'. But Russia w.ill'not be made the dupe of.this act of reluctant justice.

In mentioning these preparations, the French Papers add, t h a t - - " F o r some days past there has been frequent mention of some important changes in the Cabinet of Vienna. It is confidently asserted, that C o u n t L . D E C O B E N T Z - E L , w h o has rendered such essential services to his So-v e r e i g n and to the A u s t r i a n M o n a r c h y , - i s soon to be placed at the head of the Aus-trian Government, as , First Minister and Chancellor of the Austrian Empire , which place has remained vacant since the death of Prince K A U N I T Z , and that His I M -P E R I A L M A J E S T Y intends to ra i se h i m to the dignity, of Prince of the Germanic E m -pire,

E N N I S , TEBRUART 4.

Mr. B R A M P T O M takes this opportunity of acqnainting liij T E N A N T S , that lie wil l receive his Rents himself, whilst he remains in Enni s , and that no other person is empowered' to do so, or .to pass-Receipts for the same. February 3 , ifcoj. '

The Packets of the 28th snd 29th ult. have been rcecived at .our Office, that of the 30th remains due. Mucli tSf these papers are occupied in ob;ervations and comments upon a misunderstanding which is said to have iaJten placeon New-Y ear's-Day, at the Em-peror NAPOUOM'S Levee, between him and the AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR ; who,, in consequents,, of the rough treatment which he had experienced, immediately-dispatched a messenger, to his Court. The LONDON Journalists seem to consider this cir-

' ciii'restance'as of the greatest importance, and as a certain prelude to a Continental W"ar;- yet, they rip not offer a single sentence to establish the fact ; ,- but, on the contrary; a subsequent publication acknow-iedges the receipt of PA R i s Papers to the 1 StH and says,!. theilr contents are not of importance. This ii:--

felines us to'look upon the whole as a mere fabric?-, . tion, '.for if a Serious-dWerert'cey.-like .that a-lludecl to, ' had.taken^plnceon the/7?-!'.'day of, the }ear , it can-• not be supposed that the'papers to the iSthiwould

have remained silent on the" subject, and had. they; even glanced, af it;'these papers would not have been pfonauhced destitute of informatiori".

We aTe sorry fo perceive by the'Resolutions of the Magistrates.of the: County i:f C'arlow, inserted in tl .Lbttblir. Evening lost, that that County has been disgraced by the most shameful outrages. The ruffians who have been, guilty of houghing cattle, we conceive'to be the fsnkest murderers in nature : — human assassination has often been accounted for , though it should neVer be defended, but the destruc-, tion of a harmless-beast betrays such iniquity in the m'ir.d of the offender, that we know of iio piinish-rhept sufficiently severe for him.
