on the Spanish national character, he thought
harshly expressed in the hour of her misfor-
tunes. In fact, the Spanish armies wanted
nothing to render their victories as decisive as
they were glorious, but an adequate propor-
tion of cavalry. The battle of Baylen alone
evinced their temper. There existed two ex-
treme opinions. One was that Spain, in her-
self, possessed all the requisite elements of de-
fence; and that we should not have interfered
by our too hasty supply of soldiers, &c. That
such a course should be the policy of Great
Britain, the Noble Lord absolutely denied.
The other extreme was, that we should have
applied the whole regular force of the country
to the object. This carried its own in propri
ety. He would observe, that (exclusive of the
10,000 Spaniards we had released from Bal-
tic confinement, and who of course must be
fairly included in the contingent of men which
we supplied to Spain) we had furnished
45,000 British troops. Lord W. Bentinck
was sent from Portugal, Sept. 14, to the Cen-
tral Junta, which was constituted at Aran-
juez; Sep. 24, the Noble Lord ordered
Gen. Dalrymple to move to the north of
Spain; and instructed Sir David Baird, at
Cork, to proceed to Falmouth without delay.
Lord W. Bentinck demanded of the Junta
the nature of the co-operation required, and
whether they wished for a British force The
point of concentration, recommended by Cas
tanos, was the north of Spain. The proprie-
ty of the march by land rested not upon the
suggestion of Generals Dalrymple, Burrard,
Moore, or Castanos, all of whom approved the
measure; but had been agreed between the
Marquis de la Romana and the Noble Lord
himself. There was but one point in the
Spanish military policy, which he would ob-
ject to, and that was, the want of a head to

Feb. 24. Mr. Ponsonby introduced the subet of the Campaign in Spain, by stating, that neuthe insurrection first broke out in Spain, when the resistance of the Spanish Patriots was first known in England, the most careful liberation, the most energetic exertion, and the most anxious inquiries, were expected from those who possessed his Majesty's confidence, at that momentous crisis. The world was divided, as it were, between England and France, when a spirit of resistance to her measures, sudden as unexpected, manifested itself in a country which had long been considered the finest of her allies; the most submissive of her dependents. Their first meaare should have been, to have sent men to that country capable of making a report, to which, without being criminally credulous, they might have yielded implicit belief; men well qualified to judge how the different dlasses of society were affected. Ministers hould be informed whether the Spaniards Were sensible of the wretched state to which by a miserable imbecile Government, they ad been reduced, whether they were aware f the evils entailed on them by that superstion which has long been considered as chaasteristic of their country. It was necessary know, whether they were animated with hat glow of enthusiasm which alone could five a firm determination to enable them to stain all the calamities, necessarily attendant on such a struggle, with unshaken resolution. After the close of the campaign in Portugal, our force, then 30,000 strong, was disposable force; why, then, were our troops suffered to remain in a state of inactivity from Aug. 30, when the Convention was concluded, till Oct. 16? The Spaniards were then in great want of an army; why were no theasures taken to send that body of troops with Sir John Moore, to Spain? Sir David Baird's situation had been so bad, that when he arrived at Corunna, he had not the means of procuring provisions for his troops, for want of money. When Sir David Baird and Sir John Moore thought it prudent to retreat, he lamented they should again adance was it in consequence of orders from Gen. Stewart. The Hon. Gentleman had home? It appeared to him indispensably ne- said, that the Commissariat was badly constiessary to inquire into the causes, conduct, tuted, and the troops ill supplied. He declared, and events of the late campaign in Spain. that as long as he had been with, Gen.

their armies.

Mr. Tierney gave it as his opinion, that the army had suffered an indelible disgrace. He would not be fought out of the inquiry, by waiting for the production of papers. He would have a viva voce examination of the Officers employed on the expedition. He would examine as to the competency of the Commissariat, a department so grossly igno rant, as to permit starvation in the midst of abundance.
