AMERICA. Lord DARNLEY adverting to the notice which he had corn rnunicated of his purpose to c.. 11 the attention of the House to gbe Naval AdmiLicratton, esincially in reference to America, felt some reli.ctance in again soliciting theirLordships' indulgence while he moved that the pwporicinent of the discutsiou which woo ' fur Tuesday next sl.ould be further extended to Friday the 4th of May '1 he iudivesition of a Noble Friend deeply inte rested and intimately cutiversant with the subject In question, was thv cause of the present postponement. but while he thus solicited the indtaget.ce of the louse, be felt it necessary to sc..ure their Lordships and toplidge himself, that ou the 14th of May he should certainly-bring that important subject forward. Lord STANHOPE :sett the deep importance of the question referred to by the Notle Lord, and while be lamented, that a day, an hour, or a moment, should be suffered to pass by with. out a due and efectual attention being paid to it, he was glad to bear the Noble Earl (Darnley) say that the subject should really be brought forward on the lith of May. He was well apprised of the v..ried lid multiplied evils which were attached to the system tha. h-ri been pursued by our politicians with regard to America, and tie tale which he could unfold of their folly and extravagance, would shake the hearts and astonish the noder- Standing , of t heir lordships. Lord DARNLEY% motion being agreed to, Ebel: Lordships adjourned 4.'.11 to-morrow (this day). HOUSE OF COMMONS. A Gentleman, from the Inspector-Generals' Office, presented feverai accoures relative to the Export and Import of Sugars. Mr SULLIVAN brought up the Report of the East India Committee.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. SHAW moved the third reading of the Dublin Small Debts Bill, which passed. 1 A grew number of Petitions were presented by hoIr.CANNIN 0, Mr. V 4 HITBR EA D, Lord G. L.

'I he Committee on the Land Tax Corantissiomrs' Bill was postponed ti!l this day three weeks. Mr. WHARTON brought in a Bill, enabling Officers of the Customs to take bonds front the Mates of merchant vessels who bad attained the age of twenty.one yeas. The Marine Officers' Drawback Duty Wine Bill was read a second time. _ _ Mr.WHARTON moved for the production of th e Pl an o f t h e New Avenue from Mary-la-honne to (;haring-cross. It was then brought up and la!d on the Table.

Mr. DUIGENAN nicyed for leave to bring In a Bill for re moving doubts concern.ng the sitcs nt Churches in Ireland.—The was afterwards brought in and read a first time. TAX ON COTTON. ilied it the Ch: Mr. BARING wist to ask the tanteller of the Exchequer whether it was his intention to prosecute the measure of a tax on Cotton, as much jobbing and mischievous speculation arose out of the uncertainty that prevailed upon that point ? The CHANt . ELI.6I2 of ihe k. - XCHEOUER replied, *hat be 4ould not answer precisely either in,the negative or affirmative. In the present stare of the contest with America, however, the ports of the Southern States being blockaded, the tax became of the less importance. • 'inculcated a general caution against tampering With the trade in provisions, and a free exercise to the prin ,ciples of a free competition. The faot was, however, that these principles which were, he believed, becom ing more and prevalent in the country every day, did not apply to the measure which he proposed to sub mit to the consideration of the House. The markets of corn and flour were under no control whatever, and the magistrates fixed the assize according to the returns of market prices. The practical effect was, that the responsibility was shifted from the retailers of corn bread to the magistrates. It was nothing more than an arrangement. In his opinion it was, however, an arrangement that had its foundation the wisest policy. Whenever, by an affliction of the seasons, or a combination of unfortunate events, a scarcity might take place, the endless tumults and l active discontents which too often followed, were guarded against in their worst consequences, and the bakers saved from destruction by the existence of this system. The law, as it stood at present, did indeed seem to call for amendment in the particular point which he was referring to. In Queen Anne's reign the system was first instituted, and the only altera tion it had undergone was in 1758. The standard was then changed, and a discretion vested in the ma gistrates to determine the assize, of their own autho rity, according to the market returns. The Hon. Member, after several observations, illustrative of his general sentiments, concluded by inoving for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Art of George the Second, and the 13th of George the Third, so far as it related to the City of London and the environs, to the extent of ten miles. Leave was immediately given, and the Bill was brought in and read a first time. CONTESTED ELEeTIONS. Mr• W. WYNNE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the Laws respecting Contes ted Elections, and for leave to bring in a Bill for the better Conveyance of the Writs of Elections. Leave was given, and Mr. W: Wynne and other Gentlemen appointed to prepare and bring in the Bill. Adjourned till to-morrow (this day.) FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, APRIL 22. SITUATION OF THE FRENCH ARMIES IN THE NORTH, ON TILE 15TH OF APRIL. " The Viceroy was in his position, his left on the Elbe, at the mouth of the Saale; his centre at Bern burg ; his right towards the mountains of the Hartz ; the reserve at Magdeburg. The Prince of Eckmuhi was in a position at Celle; General Vandamme oc cupied Bremen. " Oa the 12th, the enemy endeavoured to touch Bernburg with several battalions; they were briskly received, and repulsed with loss. He likewise ad• vanced a patrole upon Nordhausen, at the debouch from the Hartz; this point was occupied by a detach thent of cavalry, who vigorously charged the enemy, and took three hussars prisoners. On the 12th, a detachment of Prussian hussars arrived at Gotha, at eleven o'clock at night; it sur rounded the hmse of Baron de St. Aignan, Minister Plenipotentiary from France, and took his Secretary, who was dangerously ill in bed, and carried him for cibly away. " Four regiments of Russian infantry were before Wittenberg, defended by General Lapoype ; they had made an attack by main force, but were repul sed, after having lost many men. " The fortress of Torgau is only observed by some parties of Cossacks; 14,000 Saxons are shut up in it. _ _ ‘‘ The enemy had a post of 25 men at Hoff, a squadron at Schleitz, and another at Plauen. " Some Bavarian skeleton regiments, consisting of 12(X) men, proceeding from the Viceroy's Army to Bromberg, were attacked near Langensalz 1, by two enemy's squadrons ; they repulsed them, some fifty 'stragglers were however taken. " On the 12th, intelligence was received from the fortresses of Dantzic, Thorn, Modlin, Custrin, Stet tin, Glogau ; they were in the best state of defence ; the enemy had attempted nothing against them. " On the 15th his Majesty the Emperor set out from St. Cloud ; he arrived the 16th, at eleven o'clock at night, at Mueller ; he performed the journey with incredible rapidity, in less than forty hours." ASSIZE OF BREAD. Mr. FRANKLIN LEWIS called the attention of the House to the existing regulations relative to the relief' afforded to the persons making those re turns on which the assize was founded. It had long ,been considered that the. remuneration afforded was Very inadeqnate, it having remained quite statk nary Clunof; a series of years, unaffected by the change *bid; bad taken place in the .yalne of money and commOdities. A Committee h..'

PARIS, APRIL 24. His Majesty's frigate l'Arethuse arrived on the ,19th instant in the road of St. Malo. Rear-Admiral Bouvet, who commanded her in her cruize, had the good fortune to fight the English frigate Amelia, and kill a great number of her men. He pursued her for ten hours after the fight. The English, after having partially acknowledged their defeat in this affair, doubtless were not aware that the French f-igate was deprived of her helm at the commencement of the action, having lost it by grazing on a coral rock. The Arethuse took and burnt an English corvette off the coast of La Manche. She has brought with her fifty.three Eng lish prisoners. The Emperor was still at Mayence on the 19th of April. French funds-5 per cent. 71 f. 90 c. 95 c. 72 f, MAYENCE, APRIL 17. His serene Highness the Prince of Neufchatel and Wagram arrived here on the 15th at night.

He received the Grand Duke of Baden, the Prince *of Hesse Darmstadt, and the Duke of Nassau. The Count de St. Marsan and the Baron de Nicht).- lay were presented to him. To-day, after mass, his Majesty received the Au thorities of the Department. His Majesty then mounted his horse, viewed Cas sel, the new fort Montebello, the marshes of Mont bath, and Fort Meunier. At five o'clock, the Emperor received the Prince Primate; Grand Duke Of Frankfort. The Grind Duke and Grand Duchess of Baden, the Princesi of Hesse Darmstadt, and the Duke of Nassau, had the honour to dine with his Majesty. FRANKFORT, APRIL te.

The Marshal Duke of Treviso went yester day to,the Emperor at Mayence. The General of Division Kergener, Commander in-Chief of the Engineers, and Count Krasinsky, Got lueral of the Guards, have arrived here. LEMBERG, APRIL 2. The Russians load with requisitions the country which they occupy. `The 'Prefecture of Lublin is ruined by demands of every description. The Russian corps before Zamose endeavoured to carry some batteries, but the garrison which is within the fortress kept up a continual fire, which killed many men. On the 24th of March its artillery entirely destroy. ed 100 waggons laden with fascines, which the Rus sians had sent for the use of the siege. AUGSBURGH, APRIL t. . Prussia, having departed from her engagements and allied herself with Russia, all diplomatic rclA tions between our Court and the Cabinet of Berlin have ceased. In consequence, the Count de Goltz, Prussian Minister at our Court, has quitted Munich to return to his Sovereign. DARMSTADT, APRIL 17. -.- At the demand of the Government of the Grand Duchy of Frankfort, and in conformity to the existing treaties with that Government, all the Civil Autho rities in the Grand Duchy of Hesse are expressly en joined to watch over the individuals of the Grand Duchy of Frankfort who are subject to the Conscrip tion, to cause all those to be affected who cannot give a lawful account of themselves, to deliver them up to the nearest authority of the Grand Duchy of Frankfort, w subject to investigation all subjects of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, who may have given an asylum to the above mentioned individuals, and the ' investigation being terminated, to transmit an ac i count of the same to the Government, that it may decide what should be done in the matter. MESSINA, APRIL 2. - - Since the late events of which Palermo has been the theatre, to the moment of the King's return, Sicily did not cease to find herself threatened with an interval war. The English have employed all those means which are famili.ir to them—the preparation of forces, acts of violence, seduction, caresses, false promises—They have again brought forward Prince Francis, and they determined either by consent or force to obtain the banishment of the Queen. The King, terrified by threats, and the fear of a general tumult, joined the English, in order to oblige die Queen to renounce the idea of employing means of resistance. At last this Princess was embarked on board the po lacre, the St. Antoine, and exiled, with her son, Prince Leopold, to Cagliari. The King has been consigned to his country house of Colli. The Hereditary Prince remained in the hands of the English, who, in the hopes of deceiving the people the appearance of a reconciliation, and by pro mises, of which they are no longer the dupes, have given a grand feast, at which Prince Francis, and the other personages of the Royal Family not deprived of their liberty, dined with the Ministers and the English Generals. Never was a more melancholy fete given ; gaiety could not seat herself between slaves and oppressors. The EngUat troops are con stantly under arms. The officers and soldiers are every day on duty, and not permitted to go any dis tance from their barracks ; arti.lery is placed in all the squares, and at all the cross-ways, with matches always lighted. We are from moment to moment informed of violences which are in the country committed upon isolatedstill Efigla detachments. BAYONNE, APRIL 11 The English, faithful to their system of oppression, treat the S l iailiards in a manner nearly similar to that of the Sicilians. It will be recollected, that it was but after long intrigues and manoeuvres of every kind, that the Bri tish Minister succeeded in causing the Spanish army to be placed under the orders of English Generals, and that a great number of superior Spanish officers, and among others Ballasteros, highly objected to a submission so humiliating to their nation. Since that time, the Junta of Cadiz was but a vile instrument in the hands of the agents of England. They soon threw off the mask—they took possession of all the maritime Spanish establishments, without allowing any troops of that nation to be placed in garrison in them; and Lord Wellington, in seizing upon all the authority, left the Supreme Junta no other preroga tive but the power of feeding anarchy in all the pro.. vinces of the interior. Such a conduct has disgusted a great number of Spaniards, whom a pretended love of independence had thrown into the insurrectional party, but who, having at last opened their eyes, acknowledge that they have fallen under a foreign yoke, whilst they thought they were spilling their blood for the liberty of their country. It appears that discontent has broken out in the strongest manner, and it is difficult to foresee what may be the consequence of it. According to private intelligence from Spain, a nephew of Ballasteros collected 15,000 Men, with whom he marched against an English divis i o n of 3000 men, at some leagu es di stance from Badajoz. The combat commenced with- cries of 4 , Death to all the English," and the whole were cut to pieces. These details have been given us by a Frenchman ; he was informed of them on his road by st vcral Spa. niards, who_ told him them as meriting all credit. • COPENHAGEN, MAR„H 23. The last number of the official Gazette contains the following paragraph : “ As itbas been announced in foreign Journals that Penmaii: had requested that her commerce and na vigation might not be interrupted by the enemy's ves sels, it has been deemed right to inform the comtner cial world, that no such step has been taken ; therefore, from time to time, affairs of trifling importance take place upon our coasts." 134NKS OF THE WESER, APRIL 1 s.

We daily see arrive Swedish troops from Ro m whiab immediately set out for Rostock. The Crown Prince is expected here on the 15th instant. Tt), number of Suedes who will be landed here is mei.. tioned at 35,000 men. The contribution: of our ci•t. zens were so exorbitant during the presence of tilt.. French in this city. that 383 dollars have been paid by a single house, though only of a moderate In our territory there is to be raised a Swedish Pome. ranian regiment of volunteers, who are to themselves; it is to consist of two divis:ons. one cf infantry and the other of cavalry. There is also to be a militia, composed of men from 18 to 30 years of age. In the Proclamation ordering the raising of this force, it is observed, " that•the oppression occa sioned to the inhabitants of the country by the lab& iniquitous entrance of the French, bad been so de. structive, that every one must be convinced of the ne. cessity of averting a similar calamity at the expeac.a of their lives and property." BRESLAU, APRIL 111. Our paper contains the following Proclamation so the inhabitants of the former Prussian-German Pro vinces ceded by the Peace of Tilsit , 4 It was neither by my choice, nor your default,that you, my formerly so beloved and faithful subjects, were tarn from my paternal heart. The force of events brought on the peace of Tilsit, by which we wore separated. But even that convention, like all othen since made with France, was broken by our env mks. They themselves have, by their infidelity, released us from our connection with then ; and GOD, by the victories of our powerful allies, hes prepared the liberation of Germany. " Neither are you, from that moment when my faithful people flew to arms for me, foe themselves, and for you, any longer tied by that compulsive oath, which bound you to your new ruler. To you I therefore speok in the same latigua as I did to my beloved people, concerning the cause and o. ject of the present war. " You have now again the same claim to my affection, end I to your obedience. Again joined to my people, yod will share the same dangers, but you will likewise partake of the same reward, an equal glory. " Given at Breslau, the 6th of April.

WARSAW, APRIL S. This day the following racial notice was pub. lished by order of his Excellency the Imperial Russian State Councillor and Senator Lanskqi " Our mobt gracious Monarch has been pleased to appoint High Council to reside at Warsaw, and to consist of the Presi dent, Prince General Kutusow Smolensk; the Vice-President, Senator Lanskoi ; and the three Councillors, Novosilaow, Water. zecki, and Lubecki, to which Council will be committed the Government of the Duchy of Warsaw, which now are, or which shall be taken possession of. " And as it is the unchangeable determination of his Majesty to afford as much relief es possible to the inhabitants of the Duchy of Warsaw, the Council will mak e i t it s fi rst d uty, to inquire which of the imposts press heaviest on the peopi.., in order to regulate them is such a propaation as may convince all ranks of persons how great Is the care of ins Imperial id ijeaty for theta welfare. The recruiting shall immediately cease, by which they will perceive how groat it the difference between a paternal Go vernment, and that which would take the last man to gratify the insatiable ambition of those masters who call themselves Allies. " In conformity with what has been already publicly declared, that on the entrance of our troops the order of the civil Govern, ment shall remain unchanged, all the authorities are hereby acknowledged legal, and c , mfirmed in their present rights.

The Chief Officer of Police has communicated, through the Gazettes, that the reports with regard to the dreadful situation of the hospitals, have been found exaggerated, and false with regard to the Austrian and Saxon hospitals ; and that the Chief Inspector of the Austrian hospitals has proved, that every thing has been done which it was in his power to acconi, plish. This cannot, however, be said of the French hospitals, which were, deserted by their Inspectors, and other Officers, front whence the m os t f r i g h t f u l consequences resulted ; but their situation is now considerably improved. The Officers employed in the Polish hospitals have received distinguished praise from the Inspector. SWEDISH POMERANIA, APRIL is. The Swedes at Rostock are to join the corps a General Domberg—they are in English pay. The departure of his Royal Highness the Crown Prince from Stockholm, was fixed to take place on the 15th of this month. The Russian General of Artil lery, Von Suchtelen, will have the command under his Royal Highness. It is reported that the Swedes, 6000 strong, have crossed the Elbe at Gartau. DRESDEN, APRIL 2.

APRIL 11.—The public feeling in Saxony, and likewise in Dresden, is generally against the French. This if more particularly the case Leipsick, in the smaller towns, and in the country. Ail the Dies deners wish the King may very speedily join in it. The great bridge over the Elbe, which has been re paired since it was blown up, must necessarily spared during the whole war. It was not until elcY. days after the departure of the French, that it cu Id be again crossed on foot, and in carriages.
