About three o'clock, the LORD CHANCELLOR and festeral ether Peers attended; and loon after. purfuaat to the Order of the Day, their Lordasipa refolued info s Committee of Privileges, Lord'Walfingham in the Cludr,for the purpofe of taking into con- Ode:ration the claims of Charles AognfturEllis, Ifq. a minor,to the FRERACR OF HOWARD DI WALDEN. The Petidoner's Conned, Agents, &c. were in attendance at the Bar; and the Committee. in purfuance of what took place on a former evening, proceeded to the examination of tome of the principal witneffes, who were in attendance. The witnefes examined on the part of the Petitioner this even ing were, the Lady Baronefs Howard de Walden (raid of the laft Peer of that title), General Harvey, and Lady Harvey, reild, we believe, of the late (titular) Lord Hamey,and maternal grand mother of the chdnsant. The Mt wltnefs examined was Lady Howard de Walden, and, as a Peerds of the Realm, admitted within the Bar. Her Lady fhlp fat on a chair oar the table, at which fat the Chairman of the Committee. _ _ _ _ After the examination of there diftOguilbed witneffes bad been concluded, the parties were ordered to withdraw from the Bar; and after a few words from Lord ELDON and the Duke of NOR FOLK, the farther eonfuleration of the cafe was deferred in the Committee of Privileges until the zo9l of February. The following brief iketeh of the groin& on which the above peerage is were isninfiattly claimed by Charley Auguitus Ellis, Efq. an infant. eideit fon of Clarks Rofe Ellis. Efq. late M.

The report is revived that a battle has taken place on the Villala, in which the Ruffians were worfted ; and, we are forty to add, the report is thought to &terve tome credit. Information of this kind was, it. is raid, receive by one of the Foreign Milliners on. Monday, and communicated to Government ; and, if we may credit accounts received from the coral s there has been, within there two days, great re• joicings at Boulogne, &c. fuch as have been too Ire queatly found to correfpond with the periods of French viaories. Still, however, we are without any pofitive accounts that filch an event has taken place ; and, as former accounts gave us reafon to believe that the Ruffians meant to avoid a general battle, we may hope that the enemy has not gained any very fignal advantage. Indeed, according to the rumours circulated, only one divifion of the Ruffians, that under General BININGSTN, was engaged; and the moll adverfe flatements do net reprefent their dilater as amounting to a total defeat. The account is ftated to have been received by the Auftrian Envoy at the Hague on the sth infant, and by bim to have been tranfmitted to this country. It is poffible after all, that the above rumours re late to mere fkirmiffies, which we know by FOREIGN JOURNALS, Of the date of the Bth inflant, took place on the Vial)la on the 18th and 19th ult. but which were followed by refiilts of very little moment to either party. The accnunts in thefe papers come down to the 211 of December, and at that time no new affair of any confequence had taken place between the French and Ruffians. But the 44th Bulletin an nouncer, " That every corps was in motion, and that, if the enemy remained in his pofition, a battle would take place in a few days"—and the fair Enfe rence from this is, that if the Ruffians would not come and attack..the French in their entrenchments, the latter would Conn proceed to attack them in their pofiann, however prong it might be.—Can the at. tack here threatened have taken place ? And do the reports that have been circulated, relate to that battle ? The movements of the French divifions are repeat ed in this laft Bulletin in almoft the fame terms that they were mentioned in the Kro fill Bulletin, and in the intelligence from Berlin and Warfaw, commu. nicated in our Paper of Monday. Six divifions, thole of Marfhals BEESIERES, NAY, BERNADOTTE, ANGIE RIAU, SOULT, and DAvousT, appear to have all croffed the Viltula. Nothing is mentioned of LASNIS' divifion, or the Army of the Confederation - of the Rhine, under General Prince Jeaom E. The difappointment which the French have met with at Congantinople, appears to weigh particularly heavy upon NaroLeom. It is fur the third or fourth time, we believe, alluded to in this Bulletin. He has i even made Pruifia a party in the affair. That power 1 is Rated to have; as great an intereft as France, in preventing the humiliation of the Porte. Does 1 NAPOLEON mean to attempt to draw Pruffia over to 1 his fide, or to hold out inducements to her to make common caufe with him ? We fhould not be fur prifed if he did. We have remarked fomething like a difpofitinn of this kind in his late Treaty 'with Saxony. He there (peaks of a " future p:ace with Pruffia," at the time that the viEtnries and progrefs of the French have scarcely lef: his Pruffian Majefty in poffeflion of one hundred fquare leagues of territory. The repo: is of cool - limbic reverfes, on the pail of the French, were nut, it appear., confined to Ham burgh, Altona, and other towns, which it was natural fhonld feel Tome fatisfadion in the defeat of the common enemy of the Continent : they prevailed, we fild, at Berlin to a more important extent, fa much I fo, indeed, that it was found neceffsry to meet them with a fort of demy-official contradiSion.

Our lofs confifled of a, few wounded. — The Officer of the Engineers, Clouet, a young man of great prornife, rrceived a ball in the breafl. " On the igth, a regiment of Coffacks, affilled by the Ruffian huffars, endeavoured to furprife the picquet of Light Cavalry at the ate de pent of the Bug ; but the picquet bad taken fuch a poillion as fecured it againft any furprife. The firft regiment of buffos, and a Colonel, with a fquadron of the 13th, immediately coming to the affiflance of the picquet, the enemy were thrown into confrifion. In this trifling affair we bad three nr four men wounded, but the Colonel of the Colfacks was killed, and thirty men ; twenty-five holies fell into oar handl,' There are no men fo wretched and cowardly as tht Coffacics ; they are a fcar.dal to human nature.

But fence the haft campaign, our cavalry is accofinmed to the mode of attack made nik of by thefe wretches ; and notwith flanding their numbers, and their hideous cry on thefe occalions, they await them without alarm, as it is well known that two thoufand of thefe wretches are not equal to the attack of a fquadron of our cavalry. • 66 Marthal Augereau pallid the Viflula at Utratta.

Strong indications are Rill given at Martinique (according to circuitous accounts from thence of a late date) of the expectation of the fpeedy arrival there of a powerful force from France, of which the frigates and corvettes lately difpatched from Roche. fort were only the precurfors, and would have form. ed brit a ftnall part had they even all foccefifully reached their . deßination.
