IRISII MALT AND SPIRITS BILL Upon the question that the House should go into a Coffitnittee upon the Irish Malt and Spirits Bill, Sir JOHN NEWPORT rose to oppose the bill, Which, he said, was atritopted to be hurried through the House In a way that many other Irish bills had been. Mr. FOSTER urged reasons why a bill of such a nature should pass speedily, and moved that the House should resolve itself in to a Committee on Monday. • Sir JOHN NEWPORI replied, that his objection went to the principle of the Malt Tax, which gave a bonus of SCI. per cent. to the 'lllicit trader, aLd was as great an oLur upon the Irish people. Mr. PARNELI. urged as an additional objection to the tax, that it was made without the usual form of opening a budget. COLONEL. FRENCH'S LEVY. Mr. HUSKISSON sa'd, that as it was mentioned in the Re port of Brigadier General Taylor's evidence, that the expentes of Colonel French's levy were at 501. a man, he had felt it his duty to make inquiry into the subject, and found that the number of men passed at the depot, W 23 219, and that half of the 90 Ser jeants was to be transferred to the King's service; the4otal ex- I pence of this levy, deducting what would be disallowed, was 110001. which, divided among 264, would be found to be much less than fifty pounds per man. The Honourable Member, there fore, moved, that there be laid before the House a statement of the several sums charged against Government in consequence of Colonel French's levy. The account was accordingly presented by Mr. Huskisson, and ordered to lie on the table. ,! -;;rrd ?rill Le 1, r! to any Tender in_ tvhich the price shall not be einerhd loAdt at length, or that shall not be delivered to the Beard be fore .ne o'dosi on the said Tuesday the 21st instant, ncr &Ideas the 'mo o who male, tlu Tender, or 'owe person on hie behalf, attends, to ro..r !Id for. t VICTUALLING- OFFICE, Moreh R, 1 809.

CAMP lEFDRE SARAGOSSA, FEB. 9. Since my last, whereby I acquainted you with our march to Saragossa, we •have fought a severe battle, in consequence of the enemy making an attempt to break our lines, and throw succours into the place.— To tell you that the sth corps was engaged, is to an nounce a victory, and this in fact was most complete. Three battalions of foot, our gallant hussars, and four pieces of horse-artillery, were sufficient to rout the enemy on all points. Fifteen hundred Spaniards were slain on the field of battle, and the rest fled into the mountains, from whence, I hope, they will not feel inclined to disturb us for some time to come. . A s to Saragossa, we. are already within its walls, and the who!;: of the town will soon be reduced. On the '2:l initant we made a violent attack on one of the suburbs, which was carried by the bayonet, and we also rendered ourselvesmasters of two convents, which were fortiAed and furnished with artillery. For th9rest, Saragosia is in want of provisions and ammunition. The troops of the line who are shut up in the place, have thrown down their arms, because they are not commanded by Monks. _ In the course of to-morrow, batteries will be erected to destroy the Abbey of our Lady of Pilar, which the inhabitants consider as their palladium. I hope, how our ',mils will find their way into it. HAMBURGH, FEB. 14. Tin following is a copy of an intercepted letter : " Vienna, Feb. 4. . . . " For some time past, opinions-hare been much at vatianeti re specting pe.!ce or war, as well as with res?ect to the part which Austria is liktly to take. This uncertainty has arisen principally from igncrance, a. , tl at present it is nos positively known how Austria st Ines with Russia. Though on the one hand, they ettla.vuur to assure themselves, that, under a certain conjunc ture, Russi.t, attentive to her own interests, would speedily adopt diff;rent sentiments; yet they cannot dissemble to themselves :bat our great defensive preparations towards the North of Hun gray cannot be without design, and that they cannot but be direc ted agairst those who would endeavour to penetrate into Hun gary by the Carparhian Mountains. But within these few days they speak yesitively again of war. All the Austrian forces are to he divided into three armies; his Majesty the Emperor will take in person the command of one of them, having under his orders the Quarter Master General de Cbastrlar; the second will 14: commanded by the Archduke Charles, having under him the Prince Lichtenstein, and the Quarter Master General Moyer, of Heiden/etch ; the third will be confided to the Archduke Jelin, having for bis Quarter Master General, General Bach. Appa rently this army is •destined to take its position in Austria inte rior. Yesterday the Councillor of State, Fassbapder, was appoin ted frtendart Central of the Army, and the ConataTattran and Charles Zychy, Ministers of the Armies." The Lords' amendment to the Irishßank Note Bill was read and agreed to. The Cape of Good Hope Trade Bill was read a first time, and ordered for a menisci reading on Monday. 1 The Mutiny Bill was ordered to be r e ad a thi r d ti me on Mon day. Mr. PaRISIFORD rose to give notice of a motion to refer it to a Committee to imptire into the condsct of the Pon Otime of Irdaud, on the second day of the /Lame room. lfib reside• for this wits, the negligence of the Express Office, where in one in stance an express bad lain 69 hours. CALL OF THE HOUSE. *Lord FOLKSTONE said, that as be understood it to be the general feeling of the House that it was impossible to conclude their present debate to-night, and that it was net adv keable.to proceed with it to morrow, he should, therefore, propose, that the en forcement of the call of the House be postponed till Monday, and should first move that after the present sitting, the House should adjourn till Monday. This was agreed to without a division ; and on the question that the call of the House be postponed till Mon lay, General .GASCOIGNE rose and said, he should forbear to follow up his notice, fom a wish not to dis turb a quarter of the House, which it was unparlia mentary to name—(alluding to -galleries.) He hoped, however, that the presentdiscussion would be conclud ed to-night, on account of the agitation of the public mind on this subject, as well AS that of the Duke of York. The effectof this continued late sitting on the Members must be injurious, and ire thought they had better sit till even eight or nine to-morrow morning, rather than nct conclude the business at once. Nothing was more likely to preserve and protract the discussion than this frequent adjournment ; and he hoped Gen, tlemen orators would in future compress their ideas, otherwise it would be desirable that the clock of the House should be embellished by some such figures as ornament that of St. Dunstan's Church, so that Members might be not altogether ignorant how the time went, but might be reminded to conclnd( their speeches by the frequency of the quarter strokes.— This would have another good effect, that of awaken ing the drowsy, audience of the House, who had really before some cxc:ise for sleeping. The Honourable General's desire was to prevent any further adjourn ment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that there was no understanding that the House were not to come to a division to-night. The great questions of the House could not most probably be decided till Monday, and the call II as useful to pre serve Members together till then : but the Right Honourable Chancellor hoped that on the first part of their discussion the House would come to a divi sion to-night ; end, though he did not wish the House to sit to eight or nine in the morning, yet he thought that to gain this end they had better protract their s:tting to a later hour than they had lately done.— There would, most prcbably, be a preliminary ques tion to decide, whether the Homo should shape its opinions into an address or a resolution? Lord FOI.KSTONE and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CIII:QUER mutually explained. The question was then put, and carried without a division. Mr. .WILLIAM WYNNE put off the notice he had given for Monday, and the adjourned debate on General Clavering's testimony, which stood for Tues day, both to an indefinite period. THE DUKE OF YORK. The Order of the Day was then moved for the ad journed debate, on the conduct of the Commander in Chief when • Mr. SA,NKES rose, and moved that the question. before the House be read, which was• accordingly . . Alma. "Tird*on."Member then began, his speed, by prereisi, 0.4 that 'brevity, which an Honourable lift~fberha4 jest now advised. He conceived that the original - form-of the, motion before the House w.as the 'best, andehat it was betterte_caery..4se Tifroe of their Alittipaila.e.aa Titre& at once, than to subdi. - Vide The House - should take care, too, not to be . entrapped into any agreement to .certain resoln kions!,unless they were aware tp what effect those re solutions were to be carried. I: was the Honourable Member's intention, to amend the amendment which had been propoied, and, foonding himself upon_ two precedents, on which he and the. Speaker had that day conversed, to call for the first divisien-(w)ich by hoped would take place tbiu, night), upon hie-amend. went of the amendment, . . Although the Honourable Member appeared to volunteer himself in this great cause, there Was no. Merino which he had entated with more telwetan ce. After alt. the. examination which had been gone through, it appeared w him that the result-of the in quiry was'imuch more detrimental to its object than beneficial ; but he was anxious, . that having gone through it, the. Hotise should de itself honour by its determination. -The general evidence of the inquirr had been so amply discussed, that the Honourable Member would spare the House any further exami nation of it. It had been summed up. by his Right Hon. Friend (the Chancell o r o f the.. Exchequer) in so able a manner, that if it had not been worthy of at tention, from its great importance, it would have been' so as a beautiful detail of evidence. It had a better recommendation, toe—that of, upon the.whole,, great fairness. On the other side all the material parts hid likewise been adverted to; so thit the fronouraGle Member should state merely the result upon his mind of this m.tss of evidence. Because sonic - of the evidence was very contradictory, and some would not be regarded-in a Court of Justice, did it,eherefore, follew, that no part of this was to be be attended to ? and that you were not to take that evidenee i end pick out of it what was true and what was false ?• Here it was that the Right Hon. Gentleman laboored the case: he argued that this evidence should.,heletally blotted out from recollection ; but did it follow that a person who told many falsehoods should tell no truth ? The fact was, that it was- impossible for en impartial judge to lay the whole of a person'S evi dence, true and false, out of the cafe : for an lionest opinion must necessarily be founded upon general conviction from erery thing as you hear it. Mahe person whom the House saw the oftenest, truth and falsehood were about equally blended. Many of the facts she stated were established beyond contradic tion by persons brought unexpectedly into the cause.; and of some of these - facts, their corroboration was. so strong es 'to render them incontrovertible. The pi in cinel parts of the evidence which brought *the Unice of` York to the knowledge of Mrs. Clarke's influence, were three or four circumstances. The first of these was the evidence of Miss Taylor; and the attempts which bad been made to invalidate her testimony were, in the Honhutable Member's opinion, not at all successful. There was a suspicion about the witne::s ; but the internal evidence of the conversation she proved was ao strong, that it was very difficult to belieie the very words of that conversation did not exactly pass. This would establish a constant and unreserved inter course between Mrs. Clarke and the Dicke of. York. It was nothing that she did not recollect other con versations ; the Right Honourable Gentleman told them that she wes in a conspiracy ; in that case she would have recollected something else. For instance. the conspiracy wanted to prove that a- certain note was shewn tit the Duke of York. Why did not Mrs. Clarke bring Miss Taylor to prove that she saw it done ? There was a witness at once. The Hon. Mem ber adverted to another point on the note, which had been so justly called the .mysterious note. As to 'hand-writing, it was so easy to imitate this, to the confusion of the person whose hand-writing was imi tated, that the Honourable Member did not think much of this. Here again the best criterion was in ternal evidence. This was a forged note, it was stated, to persuade a gentleman that Mrs. Clarke had influence with the Commander in Chief; and what sort of a note did she forge ? Something hardly intelligible to any one of the House. To persuade a person ? If that was a note to persuade, it was the most unelognent peesuasicn he ever saw.— (Heir, If the note might be understood in any one lvay, it might be understood in a bun dled other ways. At least, too, Mrs. Clarke would have produced a letter with the Duke's signa ture ; for, according, to the Right Honourable Gen tleman-, she was restrained by no tie wiztever, and might as well have forged one thing as another. He (Mr. Bankes) could not negative the Duke's knowledge of the influence o f Mrs. Clarke, but he denied his personal corruption or participation in the profit:. That the nterference of Mrs. Clarke operated as a motive upon the Duke, Col. French's levy proved. It was observable, however, that in none of the Duke's letters, which had been.predeced, was military promotion 4ireitly mentioned. That rel.tting to Dr. O'Meara only proved the g eneral un reservedness between the Duke of Y or k and 'Mrs. Clarke, and the folly and ambition of the - Dector. It was not to • expected but that the thot.whts which occupied the Duke's mi n d i n business, stiould also find their way into, his hours of relaxation, and not leaTe him the moment he crop the whole, it was elearto the that the charge in the leading was in no dcgree proved, and ceedings of a criplinal nature to. It was_ then bur justice and the country to declare th not necessary to separatr: tha, since it would be 3o great a c 4 find thAt the charge against In of its virulence. The Honom tooished however, that the Clarke's applications did not t I, ..1 tit 1 .1: *.; M r ] assed the street. Upon ' , ..
