Copy of a Lotter from Captain Adam, of his Majesty's ship the addresseA to Rear-Admiral Hallowell, and trans nfitte .by th latttr to J. W. Croker, His Majes y s ship Invincible, off the Coll de Balaguer, June 8, ISI3. In pursuance of your directions to take the ships and vessels, mimed in the ntirgino, under my orders, and co-operate u ith Lieutenant.Colenel Prevost in the siege of the ti rt of the Coll de Balagner, I have the honour to inform you, that the troops were landed about noon .'f the 3d instant, and the Lieutenant- Colonel ininiedintely invested the fort, the riflemen of De Rill's regiment, and other light troops, being pushed close up to the walls. "I'. e tort is situated in a most difficult pass, through 'illicit th.- high road from Tortosa to Tarragona wads, and it is absolutely the key of the only road for into this province, trom the westward, without ring round by Lerida. It is armed with tweive pieces of ordnance, including two 10-inch mor ' tars, And two howitzers, and the surrounding heights are so difficult of access, that it has been a work of the gre,itest labour to establish the necessary batte ries b' t re it. • Two 6-pounder field pieces and a howitzer were landed on the evening of the 3d instant, dragged up and placed on the ridge of a steep and rugged moun tain, t ,, Inc S.E. of the fort :.two 12-pounders were added to the former by noon of the next day. The whole remained under the command of Lieutenant dorbyri, First of the Invincible, having under his orders a detachment of midshipmen and seamen from this ship, arid a most excellent tire was kept up from them, which considerably damaged the defences of the tort, and checked its fire upon our working par ties. in the mean time three Spanish 24-pounders were landed, and two more guns of the same calibre from this slop, to be got up by the high road to the foot of a very steep height, on the crest of which the breaching-battery was to be constructed, at about 3O yards from the eastern face of the fort. In the afternoon of the 4th instant the fort was summoned to surrender ' • and the Commandant an saered, that he should defend the place committed to his charge. During the night of the 4th every exertion was used to bring the guns up to the hill, and to complete the breaching-battery ; but as it could not be com pleted by daylight, tbe men were withdrawn. The seamen and marines were landed early in the afternoon of the sth, and carried up the stores for the battery, under a brisk flue of shot and shells from the fort. The three Spanish 24-pounders, notwithstanding their immense size and weight, were conveyed up the side of the hill, over the most difficult and rugged ground, by the united exertions of. the soldiers, seamen, and marines, under the immediate direction of Capt. Carroll, of the Volcano. Two 8-inch mortars were brought as tar along the road as was practicable be fore dark ; and the iron 24-pounders were conveyed to the loot of the hill as soon as it was dark. The work of the battery advanced rapidly, al though it was necessary to fill all the sand-bans at the bottom of the hill ; and ; I was in confident ex pectation that the battery would open soon after day-light ; but by ten o'clock the rain tell in torrents, attended by the most violent thunder and lightning I almost ever witnessed. The qu..ntity of ammunition which had been brougla up for the battery, lying in exposed situa tions, made it the more awful, and the enemy kept tp an incessant fire of shells and grape shot. In defiance of Zll these obstacles, two of the guns were got high enough up to mount on the platforms, but all our exertion was unequal to place them there, owing to the violence of the rain, and the excessive difficulty of working in the extreme darkness of the night. From the same reason too the mortars could not be brought forward, and alter a night of the most excessive labour, we had the mortification of being again obliged to retire :—the officers and men being quite worn out. -The weather continued very bad until the after noon of the Gth instant, when a party was landed, and the mortars were got forward ; before day-light' the seamen and marines were on the pile, and all the guns Mete placed on the battery ready for mounting. The two mortars opened soon after day-light, and the shells were thrown with great precision by Lieu tenant James, of the royal marine artillery, landed from the Strombolo, who waked the mortars with his party ; and the fire front Lieutenant Corbyes battery was resumed with excellent effect. This unit ed force made very considerable impression on the fort : an expense magazine was blown pp, and the enemy's fire was very much slackened. At seven o'clock, just before the breaching battery was ready to open, a white flag was shewn from the fort; Captain Stoddart, of the Strombolo, and Cap tain Zehnplenning, were immediately sent to the 'tort, and the Later returned in a tew minutes with • Thames, Volcano, Stromboli. Brune l and eight gun-btu. 4, 4 i an offer from the Commandant, to surrender the fort and garrison upon conditions of marching out with the honours of war, the officers and men preserving their private property. This was immediately acceded to by Lieutenant- Colonel Prevost and myself : the fort was taken pos. ; session of by the advance of the troops. The garrison ) marched out, grounded their arms on the Glacis, and were immediately embarked. have great satisfaction in stating, that during this service, which has so much depended on the united exertions of the army and navy, the most per. fect cordiality has existed among all ranks, and I have met, in Lieutenant-Colonel Prevost, all that openness of communication and confidence which an acquaintance with the character of this excellent offi cer gave me reason to expect. In an operation where the laborious exertions of the captains, officers, seamen, and marines under my orders, have been most conspicuous, I hope I shall be excused for having gone so much into detail ; but it is my duty, and a most agreeable one, to bring under your view the praiseworthy conduct of all ranks and descriptions. I must particularly draw your attention to the zeal and activity displayed by ti tat valuable officer, Captain Carroll, of the Volcano, his conduct was the admiration of every body, and he was ably supported by Lieutenant Pidgely, of the Invincible, and the other officers, seamen, and ma rines, under his direction. From the explosion of a shell near him the night before, Captain Carrol was obliged to suspend his services until the morning of I lthe 7th, (but I am happy to state, he has perfectly recovered), and Captain Stoddart, of the Strombolo, succeeded him in the direction of getting up the guns, l&c. for the breaching battery, and deserves every credit for his active services lam also much ob liged m Captain Badcock, of the Brune, for the as sistance he afforded me. I cannot conclude this letter, without calling to your notice the indefatigable exertions of Lieutenant Corbyn, both in getting the guns up to the battery he commanded, and the excellent fire he kept from them afterwards ; and I feel highly gratified in no ticing the conduct of so old and excellent an officer, with whose value I am well acquainted from a ser vice of many years together. I have the honour to enclose a list of the killed and wounded of the crews of the ships under my orders, which, considering the fire upon us for so many hours, is unaccountably small. The troops under Colonel Prevost's command have had an officer and four men killed, and 39 wounded, in which are included an officer and seven soldiers of the Spanish regiment of Palma.. .I have enclosed you a list of the garrison of the fort, consisting of two lieutenants, a surgeon, and garde-magazin, 16 Italian artillerymen, and 83 non commissioned officers and soldiers of the 11th French regiment of the line, of whom two were killed and eleven wounded. I likewise enclose returns of the ordnance, Ste. found in the fort. During the siege of the fort the gun-boats were stationed in Ampolla Bay, to observe the road from 'l'ortosa, as we had constant reports of the enemy being in motion from that quarter. C HAS.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 13. The Royal Assent was given, by Commission, to the Trish In solvent Debtors', the Dover Pilots', the Spirit Licences, the Country Bankers', and two private Bills. The Excise Licence, and the Peninsula Military Accounts Bills, went through Commi.tees. The land tax Ave, and the Irish Inland Navigation Bills were read a third time, and passed. On the motion of the Earl of CLANCARTY, the House went into a Committee on the Ship Owners Relief Bill. Lord REDESDALE and the LORD CHANCELLOR op posed the clauseby which Bills in Equity were to be filed, in or der to ascertain the nature and extent of the losses sustained, with a view to found other legal proceedings for recovery of such damages. Lord REDESDALE contend d, that throwing these matters into a Court of Equity, would be depriving the subject of the old remedy by the common law of the land The Earl of CLANCARTY hoped that the Noble and Learned Lords would assist in making the Bill correct, in order to make it as useful as possible. The clause, he said, had been introduced et the suggestion of the Noble and Learned Lord (Redesdale) himself. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that no man, whether learned or unlearned, could understand the Bill as it then stooa. Vicility ought to be afforded to persons for the recovery of such losses, instead of obliging them to have recourse to the slow ope rations of the Court of Chancery. If this clause should stand part of the pill, it would be better to enact at once, fairly and fully, that there should be no compensation allowed for such losses whatever : for this clause enacted that a 13,11 in equity should be sled against nobody, in order to find out somebody who might be proceeded against in another place, and in another stage of the business. He had tried to make something of this chime, but had failed as yet ; he, therefore, suggested that it would be better for the Chairman to report progress, and that the Bill should be again recommitted. The Earl of CLANCARTY acceded to this, and the Bill was ordered to be recommitted on Friday next. Earl STANHOPE said that he should be obliged to move, that the Helstone Election Bill, which stood for a second reading, should be read a second time that day three months. He ap proved of the principle of the Bill, and only did this because it was contrary to the justice of that House to deprive the subjects of any of their rights to Elections, without evidence being exa mined at the bar of the House to prove the necessity of such a measure. It was now too late in die Session for this regular course to be followed, he therefore moved—" That the Bill be read a second time this day three months."—Agreed to, new. di.. A Message from the Commons informed the Houle, that the Commons had - agreed to the Amendments made by their Lord ships in the Annuity Registrar's Bill.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. W. DUNDAS presented a Petitiob front the Magistrates of Dunfermlioe against the proposed plan for regulating the im portation of Corn.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Palmer's Bill went through the Committee. Mr. VANSITTART moved the third reading of the Stipen diary Curates Bill. Mr. WESTERN opposed it, and moved to put off the Bill for three month,. Mr. RYDER conceived that the Bill would have the effect of msterially diminishing pluralities, and would also check the in crease of Conveuticles. Within the last fourteen years, the I licences granted to build Chapels had been, on an average, 500 each year ; and its the fourteen years preceding, the average munber did not easeed SD each year. It was inswary, there- fore, to compel the established Clergy to do their duty; the negleit of which had caused so many Dissenters. Mr. M. SUTTON opposed the principle of the Bill ; at Ow same time that he thought some alteration in the law, as it z.i.er stood, was necessary. Mr. BATHURS r conceived, that a plan for establishing a new Order of resident Clergy w mid make a great innovation oa our ecclesiastical system, the °hie... of which had always bees to induce men of fasuily, and Pberal oducathm, to voter into the Church. He was afraid, therefore, that this Bid would mate. rially affect our Church Establishment. Mr. P. CAREW did not chink it sufficiently =doom. that Curates were not sufficiently provided for, and he samild aerate tie Bill. The House then divided—For the Bill, 66—Against it, 9.-is The Bill was then read a third time. Mr. P. CAREW proposed a clause, by way of rider, the ob ject of which was, to oblige eura:es having salaries of teloo year to reside within the parish from which they dnived such ko. come, and not do duty in any other pariah. The Amendment was then negatived, arl the Bill passed. A Message from the Curds intortr.td ;he rieute, that they bad agreed to the Canal and the Laid Tax Bill., Sec. Mr. W. SMITH moved su Address to the Prince Regent. praying him to cause all Acts of the Colonial Assemblies to be printed, and laid bef ors the Hook.--Ordered. Sir W. CURTI:4 presented a Pothitoo from the Merchants sad Ship-owners of l.on ion, agaht.st the present system respeeth g the granting of Ilccuces. Mr. ROBINSON -add, no such this; as the Petition com plained of, namely, the granting of Lic:cces to foreagn ship., was dime. .* Mr ROSE said, that no Licence was now granted to any fo. reign ship, except to pars to which Engli,h ships could oot go. Mr. Alderman ATKINi supposed the object of the Pctit•on to be, to induce his Majesty's Govertn;:eqt to be more on their guard in future. He knew very wed that the granting ot Li. cences to f.reigners, undi.r certain conditions, and in certain cases, had the effect of taming litany articles ot Britith produce to be exported, that otherwise would not find a ni.ute: abroad. Ordered to lie on the table. MONUMENTS TO DECEASED orriczas. _ I # r Lord CASTLEREAGH rose to submit his pro- I mised motions for the erection of Monuments to.com memorate the fame of certain meritorious Officers.— o, He observed, that nothing could be more honourable to the memory of the dead, or more Soothing to the feelings of their families, or more advantageous to the best interests of tht country, than those testimonies of public approbation which were usually conferred upon eminent pubtic sorvices. At the same time be felt that it was a avisable, on granting such distinc tions, to keep in view that system of prudent precau. turn which had uniformly marked the conduct of Par. liament. In pursuance of this system, such dtbtine. tions were in general };ranted only to Officers of a • certain rank, who had fallen in great actions, hoimoreti by the thanks of Parliament. But he apprehended ) that he was not travelling out of that spirit which governed the views and the practice of Parliament, if on this occasion he proposed to distinguish Sim Offi cers, who, although they did not actually hold the. rank, or were engaged in the actions alluded to, were in the possession of such commands as goierally be longed to that rank, at the period Viich terminated their glorious career, or were distinguished by actions entitled to the highest panegyric. The first Ouicer to whom he had to call Ow attention of the House, was General Bowes, who so gallantly fell at the siege of Salamanca, and woose achievement so materially I contributed to the splendid coustquence which tol- i lowed. (Hear, hear.) —The noxt was Sir Wilitam Myers—(Hear, hear. )—wh i, although not a General Officer, being appointed to command a brigade at the battle of Albuera, sti,rnied the LI ink of the enemy's position, in a manner o hich at tince displayed t►ts re solution and skill, and returned from his exploit co. erred with glory, but monal:y wounded. Ti.e next was Colonel Cadogan (Hear, hear,)—who fell at the battle of Vittoria, and WhO on many occasions. as well as on that which distinguished his tall, had bees conspicuous among the bravest defenders of his coun try : at the battle of Fuente d'Honores the conduct of this valiant Officer attracted the particular notice and , the warmest praise of Lord Well►rgton. But the ( known behaviour of Colonel Cadogan in his last me.- ments —the feelings of solicitude he manifested for tne honour of the British dig on that trying occasion— the joy he expressed to find that flag triumphant, the moment before he closed his lite, entitled him in an eminent degree to the admiration and gratitude of his country. (Hear, hear, hear.) —There was ano ther Officer, also, to whom he thought the distinc tion he was about to propos; pecu►iarly due ; he meant General Brock--(Hear, hear, hear.) —who had displayed so much manliness, intelligence, and vigour, in exciting the spirit and directing the operetious of our force in a distant colony, against an enemy so su. perior in number, and who tell the victim of his ye. lour. Although the victories of this very meritorious ()dicer were not esteemed of that character which usually called for the Thanks of Parliament, his ier. 'vices Mere deemed highly deserving of the propose- Won with which he meant to conciude ; and is thia opinion he was fully persuaded nut a dissentient voice would be found in that House or in the country.- - (Hear, hear.) It was, he telt, a most grateful task to record the examples of hen:ion, and to trace the ca reer of victory, which had distinguished this country, and which had been, in latter tunes, carried to a de gree of pre-eminence never before attained—never, perhaps, paralleled in military history. It was, in deed, a most grateful task to look back to such deeds, and to pay the debt of gratitude to those heroes, who had contributed to produce tnem. In the enthusiasm, however, which such a review was calculated to ex cite, and the grateful feelings to which it must give rise, he would ever be unwilling to transgress the 'spirit which had heretofore influenced the practice ot Parliament in distributing its favours. lint in tilis case there was no such transgression ; and he was sa tisfied that there was no better mode of providing her the defence of the country—of laying by a stock of public spirit and personal valour, upon which na tional security could more safety repose, than in the proper distribution of national honours—Wear, hcar) —because such distribution, while it distinguished the memory of the dead, furnished an incentive co the ex ertions of the living : taus conducing at once to main tain the glory and the safety of the Empire. ( Hear.) The Noble Lord concluded with moving Addrestes t ) the Prince Regent, praying that Monuments may ►ie erected ►n St. Paul's to the honour of:generals Buw,:s and Brock—Colonels Myers and Cadogan. Sir J. YORKE recommended that measures should be taken to abridge the eapeuce usually attending die erection of such Monuments, or at least that the inre unity of the construction should in some degree be equal to the amount ot the expense. The several Addresses were agreed to, and ordered to be presented to the Regent. utter viands BILL.
