PARLIAMENTARY HISTORY. ing assistance, he had complained of their not HAP. V.-Campaign in Spain and Portu-The reflection cast by the Hon. Member on the Spanish national character, he thought 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?

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. |
