FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WAR DEPARTMENT. DOWNING-STREZT, APRIL 26. A Letter, of which the fallowing is an extract, bas been received from Lieutenant-Colonel Bourke, 'dated Corunna, April 14, 1813 : " An official account, which I have received from 'the Governor of Castro Urdiales, reports the investi , store of that place, on the 18th ultimo, by about three thousand men under General Palornbin, who, after different attempts, in all of which he was beat off by the garrison, retired on the 25th towards Bilboa and Durango. The immediate cause of his retreat, was the approach of General Mendizabel, with the divi sion of Longa and other corps, to the relief of the place. The enemy lost in the different attacks, and in a skirmish with the force under General Mendiza bel, on the 26th, near six hundred men, in killed, wounded, and missing. The greatest excesses and barbarities were committed by the Italian troops in , the villages in the neighbourhood of the place, during the period of the siege. General Mendizabel has since returned with his troops to Valmaseda and Orduna, leaving a battalion of Colonel Longa': in garrison in Castro."

TAYLOR said, that he felt it proper, In conse quence of some further legal proceedings, to withdraw his notice of motion respecting a trial which had lately taken place, and in which an Hon. Member of that House was implicated. It was ordered, on the motion of Mr. Alderntin ATKINS, that the Speaker do ant issue his writ for Weymouth and Mel- Bombe Regis, until after this day se'snight. The second reading of the kith School Bill was postponed to this day se'nnight. Sir HENRY MONTGOMERY postponed his notice of mo tioo which stood for Thursday, respecting the introduition of Christianity into India, to the isth of May. The Life Annuity Bill was ordered to be committed to-mor. row se'nnight. Sir J. HIPPISLEY COXE begged leave to call the attention of the House to the notice of a motion he intended to bring torward, and which he believed would appear of considerable importance. As he was desirous of having his object clearly and precisely ore derstood, he should read the notice from the paper he then held in his hand. 'I he Hun. Baronet proceeded to read the following words as the motion he designed to submit to the Houst : " 'that a Selcet Committee be appointed to examine and re. port the state of the laws affecting his Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects within the Realm—the state and number of the Roman. Catholic Clergy, their religious Constitutions, and their inter• course with the See of Rome, or other foreign jurisdiction—the state of the laws aad regulations of his Majesty's Roman Catho lic subjects in the several colonies of Great Britain—the regula tions of toreifin States, as far as they can be substantiated by evi dence, respecting the nomination, collation, or institution of the ' Episcopal Order of the Roman Catholic Clergy, and the regula. tions of their intercourse with the See of Rome. That such Committee do have power to call for persons, papers, and records, but to be limited by the instrection of the House in their report, merely to the statement of facts appearing in evidence." He added ; that he should men tat Fiera) rpm to be refaud to tlltt laid Corea!nee, if stinted; end be concluded, by *ahig the 11th of May for the discussion of his motion, after the can of the House which was to take place on that day. BREACH OF PRIVILFAE. Mr. PROTHEROE felt it his duty to call the attention of the House to what he conceived to he a breach of the privileges they en joyed. He held in his band an Abe•ract of the Minutes of Evidence taken before the Select Committee appointed to exa mine on the Affairs of India. The Abstract professed itself to be taken by the Editor of the East India Debates, published by Black and Parry. It not only did not con•ain what had been given in evidence, but it was in reality a garbled statement. It was not only published and advertised, but it was sent to every Member of the House. It had been remarked, and perhaps justly, that very few would read the whole of the evidence as it occurred, and if so, be had to observe, that Members might be tempted to read it in an abridged form, and to come afterwards to the discussion with their minds warped. He did not, however, Intend to move any severe measure, but he certainly should, w e re the publication continued, think it his duty to call the at. tendon of the House to it in a marked manner. 'Mr. TIERNEY could not precisely comprehend the meaning of the Hon. Gentleman, who complained merely of what appear ed to him a breach of privilege, without any specific mention of i the breach. The Hon. Gentleman did not, in fact, complain of any thing being superadded which had not been given in eel dence, but of the evidence being abridged. He could not, for his own part, conceive in what the offence consisted; and be knew no more of this publication, than that it stated itself to be evidence given betore the Select Committee. Mr. PROTHEROE said, that he complained of its being an unfair abridgement, tending to give a different meaning and un derstanding from that which the evidence implied and inferred. It was also accompanied by squibs and paragraphs, which evin ced the party spirit that had dictated the publication. Mr. TIERNEY said, it was possible that there might be squibs and party paragraphs; but it was rather hard that the abridge ment should be made repponsible for those matters by which It was accompanied, and with which, neither in spirit nor in letter, had the publication any connection. Mr. IiOBINSON s a id, that whatever opinion might be enter tained of the publication, he could assure the" House, that It was not sanctioned by the Court of Directors; and so very far were they from wishing to have the evidence curtailed, that it was de cided at the last Court he had the honour of attending, that, in order to avoid the danger of garbled statements, the whole of the evidence should be correctly given.—(Hear, hear!) The Irish Distillery, the Irish Butter Regulation, and the Cot ton Regulation Bills, were ordered to be read a second time to morrow.—Ad journed. FRENCH PAPERS. NAPLES, APRIL 5. Great events silently have lately broken out in Pa lermo. King Ferdinand had been withdrawn from his obscurity, and suddenly called to the bosom of his fa mily. He had already written to his son Francis, that his health being re-established, he wasgoing to resume the Government provisionally confided to that Prince, in quality of Vicar General. Lord Bentinck, who thought there was more to be feared in keeping the King a prisoner and in a state of debasement, and in employing a part of his forces as his guard, consi dered it the more necessary to shew him to the inha bitants of Palermo, as a fermentation threatened an approaching revolt ; but the foresight of the English Minister was too tardy. The people, wearied to the last degree with their extreme misery, could no longer support the still increasing price of objects of the first necessity, and especially of corn, which they daily saw exported from the island, to support their op pressors at Malta, in the Mediterranean, and on the coast of Spain. 'The patience of the people had been tried to the utmost, and in a few months the city of Palermo presented the spectacle of a revolted city. When Ferdinand re-appeared in the capital, the in habitants believed to find in him a support in throw ing off a foreign yoke. They spread themselves in crowds throughout all the streets of the capital, causing the cry of death against their oppressors to be every where heard. The English insulted, pur sued, were obliged to seek an asylum in their bar racks. Lord Benticck put himself at the head of his troops and artillery, and marched against the people. A ship of the line and two frigates were stationed before the city, and pointed their guns upon it. The English marched against the Palace from whence King Ferdinand escaped in order to retire to Mont real ; tot considering himself even in safety at this place, he took refuge at Freuzza. The revolt having for the moment been calmed by force, many persons of distinction, suspected of having excited the people against the English, were/ arrested. The Marquis of Artala, the Prince of Trabbia, and the Fiscal Advocate, Firure, are parti cularly mentioned. It is said that Prince de Butira saved himself in the mountains. The English have made return, from the different points of the island, all the forces which they thought could be withdrawn from them without danger. The English frigate Unity, twenty-four hours after her arrival at Messina, where she was to return, had orders to immediately sail.—This is the way in which the English treat their Allies. The fate of Sicily is that which awaits all nations who have the misfortune of finding themselves under their iron yoke. We would not be surprised at quickly receiving accounts of some bloody catastrophe. PARIS, APRIL 18. To-day, before mass, her Majesty the Empress Re gent, surrounded by her Grand Princes, &c. &c. re ceived the Diplomatic Corps.— [Here follows a list of the presentations which took place.] NAPLES, APRIL 3. Yesterday all the flotilla anchored in the road; the King went to visit the different ships which compose it, and held a Council of Ministers on board the Re nommee. FRANKFORT, APRIL 16. Besides the regiment of Hankers of the Imperial Guard, all the other troops of this fine branch to-day lc ft our town, to proceed to their ulterior destination. During the five weeks these troops have remained here, we have not heard of any complaints, either on the part of the troops, or of the inhabitants. A part of his Majesty the Emperor and King's baggage lately arrived in our town. Generals Baron Noirat and Piste have arrived here. STRASBURGH, APRIL 15. --- A great number of horses have left this, and all the neighbouring stations, for the department of Mont- Tonnere, on the route from Metz to Mayence. We continue to see pass through our town, or set out from it, a very considerable number of troops of all de scriptions, for our armies in Germany. It appears, that on the 12th instant, the French garrisdns of Stettin and Neudamm made a sally as far as Finkenwalde and Greitenhagen, surprised the out posts of the blockading troops, consisting chiefly of militia, and took several cannon; but they were at last driven back by the adraim 9f 'MC gusaus Cosucks. THE EVENING STAR LONDON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1815. Captain HAMILTOY, of the Lord Duncan packet, whose arrival we mentioned yesterday as the bearer of dispatches from the Armies in the North, was . landed at Aldborough. The only details of a public nature with which this Gentleman was charged, are contained in the subjoined Russian Bulletin—with the surrender of Staroy Czenstokaw we were pre viously acquainted, but it was accompanied wit! circumstances which reflect the highest honour on die Russian General: RUSSIAN BULLETIN. " OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FROM THE ARMY. Staroy, Czenstolaw, April G. 44 Lieutenant Gen. Baron de Sacken having caused the fortress of Czenstokaw to be entirely surrounded, pointed out, immediately after his arrival before it. the places where batteries ought to be constructed.. This was carried into effect on the 18th and MIL-. Count de Rochehouart, Lieutenant Colonel in the suite of his Impetial Mai, sty, superintended the works. On the 21st, these batteries were finished, and provided with cannon. They opened their fire at the break of day, from eight pieces of the tenth battery. On the 22d at midnight, three fresh batteries were erected to play upon other point., close to the fortress. They were formed of twelve pieces of the 18th corn pany of flying artillery, of 4 pieces of the company No. 24, of the light artillery, and of 4 pieces of the battery No. 38. These flying batteries played with such rapidity, that the enemy bad scarcely had titre to level their guns against them upon one point, be fore the fire was opened upon another. It was se well directed as to set on fire three magazines, viz, one of hay, another of straw, and a third of wood for fuel. Whilst the artillery was doing such executions the Sth and 29th chasseurs kept the garrison in so much awe, that not a mart durst spew himself upon the walls dfthe town. The whole of this service was entrusted to Major General-Count de Lieven. Lieu tenant General de Sacken, on finding that the confla gration made such rapid strides in the fortress, or dered the batteries to cease firing, with an intent to preserve an image of the Holy Virgin, a monument of devotion, which some centuries ago had been car ried hither from the church of the East. On the 23d' the Governor dispatched to Lieutenant General de Sacken, Meller, the Commandant of the fortress, to request an armistice of twenty-four hours, to enable him to draw up the articles of capitulation. This was granted. However the conditions proving inadmis sible, the General ordered the cannonade to re-com mence. Two hours after, the Commandant returned with a promise to surrender the fortress, and the an nexed capitulation was signed. The forbearance shewn to the place proves the respect of the troops for whatever concerns religion. Every church or monastery, to whatever sect they may belong, suspend the fury of attack : thus, likewise, discipline in every department, is daily found to gain more ground throughout all the corps of the army.
