FOREIGN INTEL LIGEIv CE BRLANGEN, FEB. 3. The following letter is from an impartial perfon on the frontiers of Gallicia .‘ The affairs which took place within a fortnight preceding the clofe of December, have had various refults. From the loth to the 24th. the French were by no means fuccefsful ; their paifage over the Bug and the Narew proved very difficult ; in fame places they were partly repulfed—and even where they fucceeded, they Curtained a great lois of men. On the z4th, a French corps was actually compelled to repafs the Narew, and was purfued nearly as far as Jablonna and Tarchomin. In the night between the 24. th and 25th, another French corp. advanced and patted the Narew, near Sierock, and drove hack the Ruffians ; but they fell into a morals where they could neither advance nor ad. Here they were at tacked by a part of General Bennigfen's corps, and obliged to give way. On the fame day they were rather more fortunate in other parts of the country, where they made a number of prifoners. On the 2;•h and 26th, the French were more concentrated, and Bonaparte put himfelf, at their head ; when, after various changes, the Ruf f ians were obliged to give way, both fides toting a great numher of men, in killed, wounded, and prifoners, among whom were many Generals, and other Officers. At &ft it was reported that General Kamenfitoi WAS among the number, but it proved to be one of his vela:ives, who had received a fevere contusion on the head Warfaw and the neighbouring villages, afforded a flrong taimony of the unufual feverity of the aCtion, being nearly filled with the wounded, and among them a number of Ruffians. " On the 26th and 27th, after a very bloody con- Rift, the French forced the prdition of the Ruffians on the Narew, and compelled them to fall back to wards Oilrolenka, feven miles to the eaftward of pirltufk. Here the latter fuffered motl in their at.. tillery and baggage. Pultu(k and its environs re ceived confiderable damage in the confliEf ; the old town was burnt, Ponacki, Lacki, and other villages are nearly defiroyed. The dreadful weather and the impailable Rate of the roads, added to the calamity of the numerous wounded, prevented the French from following up the purfuit of the Ruffians ;—the army flood in great need of repofe. Among other circumlances, which prove that none of thef affairs were decifive is this, that both parties claim the vic tory. The failure of provifions is in a great meafure removed, as the Court of Aufiria has permitted one h elf of the flares in Gallicia to be difpofed of to the belligerent Powers. It is now very probable that both armies will gn into winter quarters. The Ruf fians will eflablillt their head quarters at Grodno, fo that their advanced guard may remain in the neigh- bourhood of Byalyttock." Another private letter from the Vißrila, dated Jan. 4, fays—" The whole French army is going into winter quarters for the prtfent, and probably into very c1.4 . e cantonments. Where the Ritilians are now is uncertain, but we know that they made a very obftin rte rAißance at Nitta, and difputed every inch of ground with the bayonet, though they were at length obliged to give way to the valour and mill tary (kill of the French. A great part of their ar tillery remains funken about Pultulk, from whence the continual rainy weather will not permit its re moval." Litters from Lublin of Ole ad of January, !late, that General Benigfin's troops upon the Narew were attacked on the 2611 t, at fevtral points at once; hut notwithltanding the valour they difplayed in defend• ing themfelves, they could not finally refill the fury ot the enemy, though it colt the laser a great num ber ot men; for when the French law the Ruffian line was broken in one part, they milted on with filch rapidity, that a number of them fell by the quicknefs of their own firing. At Pultufk, which had been very bandy fortified by the Rufnarp, the battle was not lets fevere and fatal than in other places; and towatds the evening the Ruffians were compelled to make a partial retreat. Night at length pin an end to the affair. The Emperor Napoleon Lad endeavonred to carry his favourite plan of ope ration into effeft, viz. that of furrounding the enemy; hut this plan proved advantageous to General Ben Piglet', and completely failed. Impatient to learn why the corps that was to effe6l this manoeuvre had not fucceeded, and where it was, the Emperor, in fpite of every danger, and the darknefs of the night, rode in coca of it through the wildeft part of the country, and at length difcovered the greaten portion ot it flicking in a morals. General Benrigfen in the mean while having learned the fituatinn of that wing f his at my, fent it a reinforcement, and at day on the 27th, the affirm was renewed with re do hied tory. Ott this occalion the Emperor Napa • 1: so lunk into a flough, in the midi} of a flower of b ,lis bow the et emy from whence he was liberarod by vile of his Mitillalikes, who pulled him fr.tm his horfe, and care ied him off the fpot. Here the Ruffian artillery had a full (cope, while the French, partly retreating, and partly Ricking in the mud, could etre& rule or nothing; and now !he Ruffians near Ofirolenka s. not. withitunding the obllinate. oppotition they experi• ehced, began to lie the viaors, and to drive the enemy at all points. Here the French cavalry futiered molt. After this vielot y the Ruffians withdrew to their firn pofition, and the French to the Viiluia. The lots of the Ruffians is !fated at 12,0c0, killed and grounded, exchtlive of prifoners, but that of the French to 16,0c0. Five Ft erich Generals were made prifoners, among them young Segur, the Emperor's Adjutant General, and General Rapp loft an arm. But be tiles this, the right wing of the French army had been extremely unfortunate. Some veffels, with 6 i,t>co rations of bread, fent up the Viaula, return ed to Warfaw on the ad of January. ~. •• • ; " On the Sth of Tanuary, Matflial Bernadotte was' at Lobau, three miles and a half South of O(lerode,l and twenty from Koningfberg.

The Spirit Drawback Bill, the frith (tut -Rent Bill. and Turkey Tobacco Bill, paf l ed through Committees, and wcre re ported. Mr. CALCR AFT, Mr. CARTWRIGHT, and feveral other Members of the Houle of Commons, brought up the German Yarn Bill, and a Private Bill, which were read a Brit time, In the Appeal 4 ‘ Merckk v. Dick," the Solicitor- General was further heard on the part of the appel lant, and the Attorney-General on the part of the ltefpondent. Evidence was tendered on the part of the Appellant, with refpeet to certain fags contain ed in the cafe, hut the parties did not agree as to the faels to be laid before the Houk. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in commentin g upon this cafe, adverted to the great inconvenience which frequently Ault from the Appeals to that Ha.nfe from Courts of Eql)ity, involving quellions of fait upon which it wait - car...4y poilible to come to a decifion, and gave notice that flu intended, in the courfe of the Se:lion, to tubmit to the Houle a mo tion for the appointment of a Contmitle;,•to confider of Tome regulations relpthing Appeal:i to that Houle from Courts of Equity. • . Lord REDESDALE adverted to the ancient prac tice of initituting.aaions of account in the Courts of Law, in which r, being found that jutliee could not be duly adminiflered, thole fuits fell under thelurif diElion of Courts of Equity, where alone foch ac counts could be properly taken. Even in thefe Cisurts it was frequently extremely cEilicult to adminiTler jtiftice to the parties, mucla leis could it be, done in Courts of Law. He therefore doubted the praEticabi• lily. of making any regulation relpetting that fubjeel. His Lordihip commented upon the points :of the cnroplicated cafe, which had been at gtied before the Houle, and was of opinion that the evidence moil be printed, in order to enable the Honk to decide upon the fa4l!. The LORD CHANCELLOR Paid, he had not the remotea idea of makinj; any propofiuon, having for its tendency to draw a line of feparation between the law and the faCts in Courts of Equity, or to affi milate the decition upon fats in thole Com is to the praetice of Courts of Law. He was well aware that was impraOicabie. He wiihed it to be diftinetly un. derhood, that his object was the appointment of a Committee, to confider whether Lome regulations might r.ot he made refpeeting the time within which Appeals thruid be brought to that Houfe, from Courts of Equity, the fecurity to he given by Ap. pellants, in order to prevent frivolous and vexatious Appeals, and other regulations which might be fug gelled for the ptirpofe of enabling that Houle m-re effectually t ..adminifter jullice in the exercife of their appellant jurildittion. Even if it were found impof fible to make any effectual regulations of that nature, it would Rill be a gi cat coafolatiou to their Lordfhips to know, that they had done every thing that mule be done to effejt fo defirable au objeft. With refpea to the cafe hjore the Houfe, as the parties had not come to any agreement with refpea to the fa,tls to be laid before the Houfe, for its decition, be was ot opinion that the further confideration of the Appeal thould he pnflpnnedjne die, in order to give time for the parties to come to Inch agreement. Lord REDESDALE explained. The further confideration of the Appeal was or dered to be deferred fine On the Motion of the ARCHBISHOP of CANTER BURY, the Thanks of the Houle were voted to the Bithop of Exeter, for his Sermon preached before the Houfe yetlerday, in Weliminfler Abbey, and he was dated to print and publilh the fame.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the thanks of the Roure to the Rev. Michael Marlowe, for his Sermon preached before the Houk on the Faft Day, and that the fame be printed ; and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Can• Wig do acquaint him therewith—Ordered ' The Irifb Sugar Drawback Bill was read a third dime. Paireds ;nd ordered to the Lords. The Dublin Paving Bill went through a Committee, and the Report ordered to be received to morrow. The Iris Escife inland Duty Bill was read a fecund time, and committed for to morrow. The Report of the Sierra Leone Company Bill waa brought up, and the Bill ordet,ed to be read a third time on Weducfdly next. The Pelham houfe Bill waa read a fccond time, and ordered to be committed. WESTMINSTFIt ILECTIOC Lord FOLKSTONE faid, he held in his hand a Petition, complaining of a violation of one of the Standing Orders or Refnlntions of the Houfe, viz. that of tampering with Witneffes. In this petition, he faid, Mr. Paull charged Mr. Sheridan and others, with tampering with witneffes, and prayed that the parties complaining might be heard by themfelves or Counfel at the Bar of the Floufe. The petition was then read, and Rated the procee• d iogs which have taken place relative to Mr. Paull's petition againa Mr. Sheridan's return, which had been poflponed to the 14th April. That fince the firlt pofiponement, Mr. Sheridan, confederating with Henry Burgeft, James Wallace, and John Gallant, had tampered with William Drake ; had offered him a fituation abroad, to provide alto for his father, and advifed hits to keep out of the way 'till the inquiry on the petition was over, and offered money to get poffellion of a letter to Emanuel Harris, which was of great importance to the Petitioner. That this was a confpiracy on the part of Mr. Sheridan and others, to keep witneffes out of the way, and to pre vent their being examined, to the great injury of the petitioner, agatnft the law, and contrary to the Re folutions of the Houle, &c. Lord FOLKESTONE moved that the Petition do lie on the table.—Ordered. Mr. SHERIDAN Paid, he fuppofed the Noble Lord meant to follow up the petition lying on the tablearith foinethitig further, as this was a grave matter, and fhoutd not be fuffered to peep. Lord FOLKESTONE laid he fhould make atno don on the fulsjeet to-morrow. Lnrd HOWICK laid, that being a matter of Pri• vilege, it ought to be taken into confederation as fpeedily as poffible, and he thought the Noble Lord timid make his motion that night. Mr. SHERIDAN Paid, the Noble Lord had done no more than his duty required in 'prefenting the pe tition. 'lf he were to fuller himfelf to go into the fob. jeer, he was afraid he might exprefs himfelf with that indignation which loch a charge naturally infpired. He would, therefore, content himlelf with faying,that thofe who knew him knew every word'of the petition to be a falfehood,fO far as regarded the charge of tampering with witneffes; and he hoped he Ihould be allowed to prove at the Bar, that every man produced againft him on the fubjeft was fuborned. Lord. HOWICK Paid, he thought the right courfe for the Noble Lord to proceed in, was to move im mediately for a Committee of Privileges, that no de lay might enfue, and to appoint a daywhen the mat ter timid fe heard. There was one part of the Pe tition, he !lid, which the Houle could not attend to, which prayed that the petitioners might be heard by their Counf;:l, which, in a matter of Privilege, could not be allov)ed.- Lord FOLKESTONE faid he was forry to find the Noble Lord (Howick) and he differed in opinion on- the fakir& He thought witneffes might be heard at the Bar ; the Right Hon. Gentleman who was the _objea of the petition had faid, that this was a grave Matter ; as loch he wilhed to treatit. He had heard a great deal laid againft bringing forward any motion of a grave and important nature without giving no tice ; he had therefore given notice for to-morrdiv. He was nor prepared at prefent to go on with the fuhjeff, and if the /Noble Lord perlitted in urging the prccedure now he woold ilifle the inquiry. The SPEAKER laid, that as the petition had been ordered to nliti nn the table, no further motion could be-made on it that evening. = , • Lord HOWICK laid he only wilhed to prevent the poilibility of a miltake. He had no wilh to dale the proCeeding, but wilhed on the contrary it fhould have the lona invefiigation, which a matter of filch high importance defer ved. He had only ftated, that it would be right to appoint % Committee 9f Privi leges, and that a day timid be exprefsly akrointed to take .the fame into conlideration. There was a bufinefs of importance which flood for to night (the Committee on the Slave Trade) which, from the late hour, 'mull be put off till to-morrow ; perhaps it would be as agreeable to the Noble Lord to make his motion 'on Morday. The SPEAKER Lid, he fhould proceed no fur ther with private bufinefs this evening ; and begged to remind the Houle, that to morrow was the hal day for receiving private petitions ; and it .would be well toconfider there was a ballot flood for to-morrow, and if a fuffieient number Ihould not appear, how the bufinefs of the private petitions would band. Lord HOWICK faid, he underttood it to be the , praelice, that if a ballot fhnuld not be obtained to. morrow, anceher day would be appointed f Rceivii ; private petitions. Mr. ADAM wifhed to know from the Noble Lord what it was he intended to move ? Lord FOLKESTONE Paid he had no objeaion to date the objta of his motion, which was to get wit. nefles to the Bar of the Houle, to be there examined. He accordingly fixed his motion for Monday.

They ought not therefore, he fubmitted, to be taken off the table, par ticularly as if the order for printing were acceded to, that ord er would not he executed until the meafure to which the fe papers rt. lated would have gone through the Hcufr. • The motion was withdrawn. Lard HOWICK, with a view to allow rime for the prepara tion of fome claufts, which it was thought expedient to introduce into the Bill, for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, propofed the order for its committal to-day fhould be difcharged, and that it ihould be fixed for to•merrow.-.Agreed. Mr. HIBBERT gave notice, that he mould to morrow,previova to any difcuffion on the Slave Trade Abolition Bill, move for a Committee of the whole Houfe, to take into cenlidetation the propriety of empowering the Committee on the Bill to receive a.

He ad d, that he was muchafraid that until the ballots were difpored of, the Houfe would feel itfClf obliged to enforce this order.. AFFAIRS OP THE CARNATIC. Sir T. TURTON b'e in purfuance of the Molina' which he had given on the fob's& of the Carnatic, and expreffed a hope that the objet which he had in view would juttify him in moving for the papers relating to this important queflion. A Right Hon. Gentle. man (Mr. Sheridan) had taken up the bufiriefs five or fix years ago, but fince then had deemed it proper to abandon his enquiry; he timid not queflion the motives which had influenced the Right Honourable Gentle Man's conduel on that occafion—he did not impute to him any improper or interefled views in abandoning the invefligation. The Right Honour able Gentleman had at all times, when the interell or !Amur of the country were concerned, (hewed himfelf aituated by the Mott laudable and patriotic intention ; he could not therefore induce himfelf to believe that the Right Hon. Gentleman had changed hiS principles with his change of place. As to lind• Pelf, he could affure the Houfe, that his only object was to vindicatd the charalter of the country from the foul charger call upon it by the papers which had been printed relative to this fubjeCt. It was full time that thole who were guilty, if any; Mould be made refponfible for their conduEt. Juflice alfo demanded that the Noble Marquis (Wellefley) who was more particularly the °Nee of. Indian chergei, that the Board of Coniroul, the Court of Direc tors, the Government of Madras, &c. fhould be at forded an opPortunity of eflablifhinitheiit innocence, if it was in their power to do fo. On this ground he fhould move for the reprinting of the ad volume of Auguß 1803, containing certain papeis and cord refpondence refpe&ing the tranfailions in theCarnatic, and certain o.her papers refpe&ing the roligars. Mr. SHERIDAN thanked the Hon. Baronet fo; the liberality with which he viewed his condo& and ;alined him, that he did himfelf (Mr. S.) no more than jußice in believing that he had noi been in fluenced by any felfifh ?natives in not perfevering to bring forward the affair of the Carnatic. Having already Rated his reafons for the line of condull which he thought right to purfue on that fubjeet, he lhould not now trouble the Houfe with a repetition of it. He could not, however, fit down, without having it' underflood diftinetly, that whenever the queflion fhould be brought forward, it was his fixed determination to give all the fupport in his poWei to' the charges exhibited againtt all the parties impli• rated in that tranfaetion. Sir JOHN ANSTRUTHEA oppofei the motion on the ground tkat it was too Vague for the Houfe to entertain on fo grave a fubjeft as that to which it referred. He walled to know from the Honourable Baronet, againit whom he meant to Aired this en quiry. He thought that, at all events, no good could be produced by the motion, though much mil: chief might be the confequence of it. If the objeir of the Hon. Baronet was to exonerate the Noble Marquis (Wellefley), he would find that his enquiry would fail in that relpea—for it 'would appear that the Executive Officers in India, to whom thefe charges applied, had meted in obedience to their inftruetions; he did not think, therefe.re, that any benefit could accrue either to this country or to India from come plying with the motion. Mr. GRANT had no perfinal fears upon this fob- jeer. He would venture to alert, that the Court of Directors never ordered the affirmption of territory is the' Carnatic, never wilted for it, nor ever ap proted,:ot tbe manner in which it was done. He was forprited that the Hon. Baronet who (poke lad (Sir J. •Airliruther) fhould have confounded the Cow tof Direitors with the Secret Committee. The Secret Committee were merely the organs of the Board of Contrail!, and the Court of Directors knew nothing of their proceedings, except what they chofe to tell them. It often happened, that this Se. cret Committee did not themfelves knew what letters were feet in their name, but finned them merely by the direction of the Board of Controul. Among the Papers, however, which had been printed, there was one difpatch which hod been fent to Lord Wellefley, which diftinaly proved that the tranfaelion in the Carnatic was not authorifed' by the Court of Direc tors, but was molt contrary to their willies and es prefs defire. They had reprefented to his Lordthip. is that if (with the good will and free confent of the Nabob) any territory could be procured, in return Frr the troops to be furnifhed for the Polygar war, fuch an arrangement would be very defirable, but that he was by no means to tile any force or corn pulfion." So that it appeared that the Governor General allied contrary to inftruetions, and that his conduet never had been fence approved of by the Di, tl• . s
