The difpatch of General Lord LAIC., in which Le tranfmitted to the Marquis WF LLES LEY, the account of the victory obtained by the army under Major- Gcneral FRAZER and Brigadier General Mowsow, is as follows : Head o.z . arters. Platy Ohm., Nov. '8,2804. My Loa D—lt is with fentiments of the molt heartfelt fatisfae tion, that I tranfmit to your Lordibip the Copy of a Difistreh received, announcing the convict.: fucccfs of the army ender tht command of Major Os:octal Frazer, in the attack of the enemy's brigades, at Deeg, on the 13th init. This action appears to have been very revere, and it has been attended with as complete fuccefs, and atehieved by a gallantry and courage, as ardent, as have marked the conduit of any army. whilft it refiedts on all deferiptions of troops engaged, the higheft rage, it entitles them to the thanks and admiration of their coun try•, and adds to the high reputation of the army in India. However I may rejoice at the (weds of our arms, and the addi tional glory acquired by the Britifh hoops in this gallant action, I 'hall lament until the latch hour of my eriftence, the revere lofs itillaincti by that truly gallant and highly meritorious Officer, Ma pr-Gee eral Frazer, to whore able difpofitions and heroic valour, in leading on the troops, I attribute fuck fignal fitted's. The public, though 1 hope, temporary lofs, of the fervices of this Officer, is a tuhjcit of the molt linceie regret. It would be floperfluous to attempt to ezprefs my private feelings on this itecation, in which I am well convinced yr ur Lordfhip will hilly participate. The Official Report, now tranfmitted, leads to fear, that our lots, In Officer, and men, has been fevere. I hope to receive in the couric of this day, returns, which fhall be immediately forwarded.

Lord WALSINCHAM prefented a Petiti , m from the Mayor and Corporation of Lbaddn, againft the claims of the Romaa Ca tholic, of Ireland. Lord DARNI.EY poftponcd Li: Motion, of which be had given notice for Tuefday, relating to the Navy, until Monday the 13th. The Scots Excite Officers 8111 was read a fccoad time and committed for Monday. _ . _ • The Committee relative to Mr. Juftice Fox was poftponcd from Monday to I . hurfdPy next. QI/ESTION OF PRIVILIGI. Their Lordlhips were occupied in heating the Ap ! peal, " Blanc v. the Earl of Caftilis'," when a Mef fage was brought from the Commons by Mr. Ley celler and others, requetting that Lord Vitcount Melville may be allowed to attend the Sete& Com mittee of the Commons, appointed to take into con. federation the Tenth Report of the Commiffion of Naval Enquiry. The Meffengers were informed, that their LorCithips would fend an anfwer by Mel* fengers of their own.—As loon as the Melfengers from the Commons had retired, Lord HAW KESBURY rat, and espreffed the regret which he felt at offering any arguments to their Lnrdthips, which could be pnflibly interp . reted into an inclination nn his part, to throw any impe diments in the way of the proceedings of any branch of the Leg-Mature. Before he addrefred himfelf farther to their Lordfhiph he would move that the Standing Order, No. 50, which " prohibits Peers from attending the other Houfe, to anfwer in writ ing to queftions on fuch matter, under pain of corn• initment to the cuiiody of the Black Rod or Tower, during pleafu •.:," be read. The order having been read, his Lordfhip ob ferved, that it was apparent from the tenor of it, that the requelt of the Commons could not be com• plied with, without the mature deliberation and ex• prefs concurrence of their Lordlhips. He was not aware that there was any precedent upon their Jour nals, which would jultity fuch a renunciation of their privileges; on the contrary, he was informed there were many in dire& contradietion to it. It might be urged, that the cafe which occafioncd the appli , :ation of the Commons, did not fall under the Standing Order cf their Lordthips, that it did not appear any acculation was brought forward againft Lord Melville 7 hot the Tenth Report was on their Lordthips' table, which contained matter of ferions charge againit that NobleVilcoont, and it was noto. ricus that the Cnnrcittee which reqoetted his Lord fhip's attendance, was occupied on the fubjeCt of that Report. For thole reafons he thought it would be the wife(' courfe to re!er the tneffage from the Com mons to a Commit;ee of Privileges, to enquire into and report precedents. . . The Earl of DA RNLF.Y thought there was fame thing extraordinary in the motion of the Noble Se cretary of Stata, and the nhfcrvations which led to it'. He conld not conceive why any objeelions lhould be railed againti permitting the Noble Lord to attend the Sete& Committee of the oilier Honk. He was n ot prepared to argue the point with the Noble Baron, who, it appeared, Ira; perfeftly acquainted with it. he wifbed the (Nation had procest'ed how any other Noble Lord than a .Member.of his Makily's Govern ment. The advancement rf jutlice &mid be para mount to ever , - other confideration : and he united there was no d'il , oh.ion to obitrue the cootie of it. Lord HAW ES BURY difclaimcd any intention on his part to interrupt the progrefi of Office. The Doke of NORFOLK was equally furprifed with the Noble Earl at the interpretation given to the order. He, the Marquis of Stafford, and feveral other Peers, attended Committees ut the Houle of Commons on various °miler's:, and no objedlions had ever been firmed againft their doing fo. Lord HAW KEbBURY whifpered acrofs the Houle " that was on occafions on which no matter of accufatinn was to be interred againft any of them." The LORD CHANCELLOR (aid, that if the opinion of every Noble Peer in that Houle, if the clamour of the whole country were aptinß him, he would fed it to be his duty to maintain the pri 'flaps of their Lordthips. The order which had been read was not one of recent date, it originated to far back as the year 7673, and the privilege was affected by their Lordthips in the cafe of a Bithop of London, in the year 1533. He approved of the re fercnce to a Committee of Privileges. After force farther conveifation between the Dukes of Noa rota and Mmiraoss, Lords DAR'S.. Lay and HAWILUIDURT. the *lotion was agreed to. , . Hb,SE OF COMMONi. • The SPIT AK ER having taken the Chair, Mr. BYNO prefented a Petition from the Ft cillooders of the County of Middlefex, pray ing fur a continuance or enquiries into abufes. The Petition being rrad, was ordered to lie on the table. The Sheriffs of London prefented a Petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council, againft the Petition from the Catholics of Ireland ; which being read, was, on the mo tion of Sir Charles Price, ordered to lie on the table. Mr. WILBER FORCE brought up the Repoh of the Commit tee on the Petition from the Yorklhire, Wilts, and Gloucefter Cloth-workers, Rating that the Petitioners had proved their allega tions, and moved that the Report, with the evidence, be printed. Admiral BERKLEY laid, he could bring evidence to prove that a great part of the allegations were unfounded; that the Wilts and Oloucefter Clothiers, who were stated as parties to the Peti • tion, had nothing to do with it ; and that the °hied of the Peti tion. and as Bill it t:ncled to be founded thereon, had nothing lets for its object than to explode the tile of machinery in a principal part of theraanuradure. Mr. Wilberforce's motion t►as agreed to. Mr. CREEVEY gave notice, that on Friday he would make a motion relative to the balances in the hands of the Collectors of the Duties in the Me of Man.

Mr. JEFFERY,of Look, gave notice, that he Ihould, on Mon day, move for Accounts refpeaing certain veffels docked, and !toted in various places during the Adminiftration of Lord St. Vincent. Mr. TIERNEY thought that papers of fuch a nature would come more properly before the Stied Committee appointed by the Houfe Cr iovtdigating Naval Affairs. _ _ Mr. JEFFERY anfweird, he had no ohjedion to the papers being referred to the Committee, but he wifhed to have them firs laid before the Houk, in order to thew that many matters had oc curred and. r that Noble Lord's Adminiltration, as deferving of eenfure a. thole under any other. Mr. 'TIERNEY wilhed the Honourable Member would Rate the titles of thole papers, in order that the friends of the Hale Earl might have an opportunity of moving for others if they thought it neceffary. Mr. JEFFERY raid be bad no objeftion to communicate to the Honourable Mender whenever he thould do him the honour to confult him in private. NAVAL COMMISSIONERS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER prefented the Bill for continuing for a time further to be limi:ed, the Board of Commiffioners for Naval Enquiry. He moved that it he read the fecond timeon Monday next, and in the mean time be printed.— Ordered. WI?SiMINSTER PILTITION. Mr. FOX prefentrd a Petition from the Eledtors of Weltmin flcr. Ile Lid, that as the difeuilinn on this fuhjedt would fpecdily Oace, it was judged ticceilary to prefect the petition as early ;13 poffible, without leaving it for fignaturei. It had happened, that in the Refulutioos and Petitiows which is ,e 1 been prefented upon this fubjea from other parts of the kingdom, fome contro verftes, more or left, had occurred t but in refped to the prefent, the opinions of the numerous alterably who met, compered as it was of all claffea, was focnnipktely unanimous, that it was thought totally unneceffary to impede its progrcfs to the Houk, by tub mittiug it for fignature,‘ IR T' "I CATHOLICS. Mr. FOX gave no:ice, that he Ewald poftpone his motion upon the petition he had the houour to prefent to the Houfe from the Catholics of Ireland, front Friday the toth until Monday the 13th. The motion he lould make on that day would he for the Houfe to refulvc into a Committee to take the petition into confederation, to the end that it might undergo the full& difcuffion in all its points, in order that the Houfe might confider maturely whether it was right to comply with the whole, or with any, and what gat t.orto adopt any collateral meafure. The CHANCRLLOR of the EXCHEVER nodded fcveral times to Mr. Fox while he was fpeaking, apparently approving of his tem perate mode of procctling. Dr. DUIGENAN laid. he conlidered the petition fo objcaina able in all its part:, that he Ihould oppofe the motion for going in to the Committee Mr. CREEVEY gave notice of his intention to enlarge confi (let-ably the objtes of his enquiry rerpeeting the ifle of Man ; and that he ibould bring forward his motion on Friday next. Mr. CALCRAFt', in the abrence of Mr. Serjeant Bet, gave notice of poftponing the motion of that Hon. Member from Mon day the t3th, to the following day, in coofequence of the notice given by Mr. Fox.

WIN BUSINESS. Mr. FOSTER. moved the Commitment of the kith Loan EU— lacritarton Monday mat. He then moved the ad Reading of the hint Bank Tokens Bill. Mr. MAO ENS unpofed it. It was only following up the fvf.. tent of paper cfrcalttion cauf,d by the Roppage of cant payments at the bith Bank. He lamented the depreciation of the currency whirl, was the oreateßnf dotneftic calamities; to prove which, be referred Gemlemen to the hiflory of our own country from the reign of Henty VII. to that of Queen Elizabeth. He was convinced agent: fly might .be found. if the Chancellor of the Exchequer for England would apply his great and comprehenOve mind to the point. Mr. PR INCEP fupported the Eill. Mr. ROSE hid, that the great advantage of tokens was, that they were nearly of the intrinfie value of the font which they re prefentel _ _ _ Mr. Moor nv and Mr. Rosa mutually explained. hit JOHN NEWPOR obferved, that the preent iffue of tokens was neeeffary, till fome effectual regulation could be adopted, tn.a the proverb might not be verified—" While the grads is growing, the 'teed Rarves." Mr. LEI: fupported the Bill. He would, however, by no means allow that there had been ^n over ine of Paper in Ireland. The circulating medium of that country had not been encrecfed, and he believed the paper Mucci (ince the Bank Reltridicin was not enough to fupply the vacuum occalioned by the Auld being withdrawn. Mr. FOSTER thought it almoft nnneceffary for him to 'late, that there Wasa diftrefa hardly to be def.-ribed in Ireland for the want of filver for the internal circulation of the country, and par ticularly for the ufc of the lower orders. This mature would af ford the belt WA:me which could be found for the real coin. Mr. JOHNSTONE did not with to oppofe the Bill, but ap prehended theft tokens were to be circulated at a rate higher!hro their r..,1 wine: it not, he was apprehenflve that the comic ofex change would zzain draw out of Ireland the Giver which thould now be iltued. Mr. FOSTER allowed that the dollar, which was intrinfic.lly worth but 4/1 when made a Eank token, pars for cs. ; wl.n to this thfferv,ec. which amounted to 7s pa- cent. Otould be added the rate of exchange, and at feet five per cent. for the trouble of colleaing them to fend them cut of the country, it would appear there would be near as per cent. lofs on exporting them, which WO:liti be facient to prevent their being drawn out of the country. _ _ _ After a kw words firm Mr. Vanfittart and Mr. jnhnitore, in explication, the Hill was real a fecond time, and ordered to be committed foe Monda v.

On a point of Co much Importance as the move ments of the Toulon fleet, joined by thc Spanifh (hips from Cadiz, our Readers cannot be furprized that we fhould from time to time flop our paper even when at pref., to Rate the lateft intelligence that reaches us ; nor under fuch circumftances can it be expeCted that all the accounts thould agree with each other. We Rated in a large part of oar Impreffion yefter day, the arrival of a veffel at Plymouth from Gi braltar, which had brought intelligence that the combined fleets from Cadiz were returning to the Mediterranean. 'rids intelligence is in Come meafure I confirmed, we underfland, by accounts received at the Admiralty, which however w•e have not heard to be official; and on the fame fubjeft we find the follow. ing Paragraph, dated at two o'clock this morning, in a Paper of this day : " loft as this Paper was going to Prefs, it was in timated to us from a quarter of high authority, that I the French and Spanifh fquadrons have certainly palled through the Sticights of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean." It is thought by our mon experienced naval people, that the intention of the French in their prefent movements, is to induce us to withdraw our block ading fleet from off Breit, that their 'force in that quarter may have an opportunity of getting out. Should the enemy fuccted in effeEting a junClion of their different fquadrons, they will have a very formidable fleet It confill of forty (hips of the line at lean. We hope, however, that they will be difappointed, but we cannot help thinking that at the prefent crifis, the public bufinefs Coffers by the time and attention bellowed on queftions which might as well be taken up at a leis inconvenient period ; and we are fare the voice of the country will go with us when we exprefs a win', that at the prtfent critical moment the attention of thofe who have the care of the public welfare was not fo much divided. His Royal Highncfs the Duke of KENT received yellerday intelligence of the nature above Rated, of the enemy having returned to the Mediterranean. It is our duty to Rate every report on the fubjea ; but we ought to add, that this intelligence is very much doubted, and that the enemy are believed to have fhaced a different cootie. Difpatches were laft night fent off from the Ad miralty, to Brixham, to be forwarded in a fall failing cutter, to Lord GAII.Dt: ER.
