DOWNING S fRF.ET, APRIL 'l7, 1815. ._ A Dispatch, of which the following is a copy, has been this day recs.ved by E.sti Bathurst, one of his Majesty's Principal Se • rye iJiies of State, from Major-General Sir John Lambert, K C. 13. collntrmling we the cs , ast of Louisiana. • 11..nr1ln:.rteta, Isle Dauphine, Feb. 11, Itlls.

I oidered the 2,d brigade, composed of the 4th, 21st, and 44th regiments, for this service, together - v ith such means in the engineer and artillery depart .vent. as the Chief and Commanding Officer of the Royal Artillery might think expedient. The re main:l:r of the force had orders to disembark on Isle Dauphine and encamp: and Major-General Keane, whom I am truly happy to say has returned to his duty, superintended this arrangement. The weather being favourable on the 7th for land ing to the eastward of Mobile Point, the ships desti -red to move on that service sailed under the com mand 4 4 Captain Ricketts, of the Vengeur, but dui not arrive in sufficient time that evening to do more than determine the place of disembarkation, whith was about three miles from Fort Bowyer. At day-light the next morning the troops got into the boats, and (300 men were landed, under Lieute nant .Coknel Debbeig, of the 44th, without opposi tion, is ho immediately threw out the light companies under Lieutenant Bennet, of the 4th regiment, to cove , - the landing of the brigade. Upon the whole being disembarked, a disposition was made to move en towards the tort, covered by the light companies. The enemy was not seen until about I'2oo yards in front of their work—they gradually fell back, and no firing took place, until the whole had retired into the fort, and our advance had pushed on nearly to within 3iti yards. Having reconnoitred the tort with Lieu ttnant.Colontis Burgoyne and Dickson, we were de ci•frdly of opinion, that the work was only formidable .111 assault ; that , batteries being once es ti:: I:.!_t'.l, it nitt•t speejiiy fall. Every exertion was ride by tbe n.tvy to 1u d provisions, and the neces s.lty etihip.r, , ont of a bat•ei:ng train and engineers ;.?s. V.'e broke ground on the ni.tirt of the tit, aod adranced a firing party to within roe hundred yards (-; t'ne tort during the n t ht. The position of tile batlet;cs being decided upon the next day, they I were re.,,!y to receive thcr guns on the night of the I on the morning of :ha 11 th the fire of a bareiy of four IS-pounders on the left, and two ila;izi.as on the right, each at about 10.,) yar24 distii'v,ce, two G-pounders at about 500 yards. I And eight small cchorhs advantageously placed on tic rig tit, y:ith intervals between 101 and t!..to yards, I urnished to keep up an isice.sant tire for two days, e prepared to. open. Preparatory to commencing, I siiminnyed the fort, allowing the Commant Oificer half an hour for hes decision upon such terms as were proposed. Finding he was inclined to con sider them, I prolonged . the period at his request, and at three o'c:ock the tort was given tip to a British guard, and British colours hoisted ; the terms being signed by Major Smith, Military Secretary, and Cap tain Ricketts, R.N. and finally approved of by the Vice-Admiral and myself, which I have the honour to enclose. I am hippy to say our loss has not been very great ; and we are indebted for this, in a great measure, to the eflicignt means attached to this force. Had we been obliged to resort to any other made of attack, the fall could not have been looked for under such favourable circumstances. We have certain information of a force having been sent from Mobile, and disembarked about 12 miles off, in the night of the 10th, to attempt its relief ; two schooners with provisions and an intercepted letter, fell into cur hands, taken by Captain Price, R.N. stationed in the bay. __ I cannot close this dispatch without naming to your Lordship again, Lieutenant-Colonel ackson, Royal Artillery, and Burgoyne, Royal Engineers, who dis oavcd twit usual seal and abili:itst and Lieutenant _Bennett, of the 4th, who commanded the light com panies, and pnvbed op close to the enemy's works. ,Ca , ,,t.tle lion.

[For &r. see the last page.] IMPORTANT STATE PAPER. Copy of a Nate from the Plenirotentiaries of his ;%lajesty the King of NAPLES * to I.old CASTLELIEACII : " VIENNA, FEILSUARY Ho 1815. 44 The undersigned Ministers, Pienipotentiaries of his Maksty the King of Naples, have had the honour of addressing to his Lxcellency my Lord Viscount Castlereagh, Principal Secretary of State of his Bri tannic Majesty, for Foreign Affairs, an official Note, dated the 49th December last, soliciting the conclu sion of the definitive peace between the Crowns of Naples and Great Britain. 44 His Excellency, my Lord Castlereagh, was so good as to assure the undersigned first Plenipoten tiary of his Neapolitan Majesty, that he would occetpy himself with the object .f that Note. It has never theless remained to this day without any result. " Although the King cannot but be keenly afrect ed by this silence, from the eagerness with which he is desirous of entering into more intimate relations with England, he has too much dependence on J. sincerity and justice of the English Government, to allow him to doubt for a moment of its fidelity in fulfilling the engagements which it has contracted towards him. " if all those reasons which the undersigned urge , l in their note of the 29 , h December last, required In be cortobcrated by others still more powerful, they m;ght recal to his F.ltceilency my Lord Castlereagh, ttte Convention whit It he proposed at Troyes, wit!) :tie titre at' e • principal coal , lsced Powers, by which the Britannic Government, recognising the politic .l eListence of th,.. King of Naples, solicited an indeni iety in iavour of the King of Sicily, as an iudernall;- k for the kingdom rut 44 . la k (1)3t41, and Prussia adhered by separP.to acts of accession, stipulated at 'Troyes, the 15th Fe bruary, 1814 , , to that Convention, which has irreva cab), comertl,led the princirle of the political Exibt elice 4'; the King of 11,4plei. It belonged next to ti.e Powers, in whose hands were all the disp..s,ibie countries conquered from the .enemy, to find and to pioportion the indemnity to be given to the King of Sicily. 1 - lis Neapolitan Majesty could concur no other wise in this than by his good offices, and lie has ful filled on this point the engagements which he con tracted by his Treaty of Alliance of the llthJanuary, 1814, the undersigned having declared by the note which they haie had the honour of addressing to his Excellency my Lord Castlereagh, under date of tile 29th Dt•centber last, that they were ready to concur in the arrangements which might be proposed for . . that effect. • " Thus, under whatever point of view the Britan nic Government wishes to view its position with, re p:4o icisthe King of Naples, •it can only considcr xs just and reasonable the d em and which the tinder . . signed are charged with reiterating to his Excellency, my, Lord Castlereagh, of proceeding to the prompt conclusion of a definitive Treaty of Peace between the two Crowns. " No person can be better qualified than my Lord Castlereagh to enlighten the English Government with respect to the affairs of Naples. Having con curred in the negotiation which preceded and which followed the accession of his Neapolitan Majesty to the Coalition, he was the organ of the engagements entered into by the English Government towards the Court of Naples, and his character for justice and probity is too well known to allow the undersigned to suppose that his political conduct will vary in any manner, :yid they are certain that he will support in London the engagements which be contracted in the name of his Government towards the King of pies, as well as the promises and verbal dccl:►ratirn;s made by him during the last campaign of the coalesced armies, and principally at Chaumont and Dijon. " The undersigned beseech his Excellency, my Lord Castlereagh, to accept the assurances of their very high consideration. (Signed) " The Duke de CAMPOCIIIAItO.

SLAVE TRADE. Mr. BARHANI rose, in pursuance of his notice, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for prohibiting British subjects from lending capital or doing other acts towards assisting or carrying on the Slave Trade by foreign powers. The Honourable Gentleman pointed out the happy results which had already at tended the efforts of this country towards a total sup pression of the.abominable traffic in human beings, which had heretofore reflected so mach disgrace upon the civilized world. Spain ard Porttigal, he said, were the only countries by v.hich this trade seas at present countenanced, and he hoped in the end, even these kingdoms %you'd be indtr._...d to fellow the ex ample of the rest at Europe. It was to he lamented he said, that although this traffic had been :tun doned by Great B.iitain, )et there were still Lsritish subjects base enough to lend their capital towards carrying it on for other countries. Indeed so lucra tive was the practice, that the temptation was almost too great to be withstood : for, from information which he had received, he understood, that for a slave which cost bnt £'2s on the coast of Africa, no less than irom £250 to £4OO viola' be obtained in the Spanish or Portuguese settlements. Whatever might be the inducement, however, it must be the sai-tr of every humane heart to put a final stop to such proceedngs, and with this view it was his Bill should be framed. The main provisions of this Bill would be, to make it felony either for devoting capi. tal to this traffic, insuring cargoes, or participating in any way in the profits. And as an inducement to detection, he should make the penalty so high, that the risk would be too great to intrust an accomplice. Having thus stated the principle of his Bill, the I lonourable Gentleman concluded by Vying tt For leave to bring in a Bill to prohibit 13ritisKsubjects; or persons residing in the United Kingdom, from lend ', mg money, or employing capital, or doing other acts and assisting in carrying Asp the Slave Trade for , oreign States." Mr. Serje:iiit ONSLOW most cord;ally seconded this trimitm, mid after a few words hum Mr. limows and Mr. Wil.iliateoiter, leave was given to bring in the Bill. ALIEN ACT. Mr. DATHURsT, alter repeating the arguments %%Inch h?liad used last evening, moved for leave to bring in a Bill for continuing the provision of the Alien Act for one year. Mr. WHITBREAD said he had yesterday ob jected* to this Bill, because of the state of the House; And he now objected to it in principle, bec,,use he considered it as a blot upon our Statute Book ; and further, because in the course of last year the power which it gave to the Government had been twice abweid—first, in the case of M. de Berenger, and next in the case of Mr. Corraia; and though they had been indemnified by the House for thew abuses, he couiti not consent to see that Act now re newed. When the Alien Act was first passed, the country was placed in a state of war and peril. The country certainly did not know what was its present situation, neither did the House know, and he (Mr. 1~ Whitbread) verily believed neither did the 11; 7 1,. Honourable Gentleman nor his colleagues know a l . state in which the country was. But the Right lir ni,urable Gentleman had said tlirt we were not war, and therefore he (Mr. Whitbread) cotdd consider there were any groi•nds for renewin 4 Act, which had never existed in peat-. an..! wh:, gave to the Government an extens.ori of power grievous in many instances to iadividua'.... Lord CASTLEREAGH said, the apprehens: • of the abuse of a lav{ WAS no algur..r.nt enacturtnt, if it should he consislercl neces; l ry. •i• Noble Lord then contended that no al, , i 2 ni Alien Act had ever exacted, as the Finn. had asserted.
