The last raentioned Peer reminded the House, that some important judicial business was fixed for that time, upou which their Lordships would have to sit daily, at ten o'clock in the mording; and with which a rangement, such a discussion to the Committee of Privileges anent interfere. The result was, that Lord EISKIN/ waived the days lie first intended, and said he should bring it forward on the third Tuesd.ty. • The Gold Coin Bill, and the Jamaica, and St. Domingo Inter course Prettentlon Bill, were brought up from the Commons by Mr. LUSKINGTON and ether Members, and laid on the Table.

Ili • Lordship nest moved that the Bill should be pr i n t e d ; which being or- dered, he said, if the prints wire on ibe table, he should move the second reading of the Bill on Thursday.

In short, the whole escorts of the Russian prisoners takeil by the French, have been retaken. While these events were passing near Smolensk, VICTOR was defeated in another attempt to relieve his Master. WITTGF.NSTEJN, his conqueror, has joined Tscntrscnauorr, and Minsk is now occupied by their united armies. Not a remnant of the French army can escape. But let us now present our Readers with the glo rious details, in the order in which they have reach. ed us.—" Good Wine needs no bush !" OFFICIAL BULLETIN. At an early hour this morning, the following Bul. letin was issued from the Foreign Office : " Dispatches have arrived from Lord CATHCART, dated November 24, containing the most important and glorious intelligence of the advantage gained by the Russians over the French army, in followi , np Mr. Richmond, from the Commissioners of Customs, pre- I -- _y'' . _ ;rig sented an Account of the Patent Places which h;ul been alto- their retreat, from the 11th to the 18th cf November. lished in that Department, and the 915cial Regulati•ms that had Besides various combats, in which a large number of. taken place in consequence. the p risoners _.

BONAPARTE fled from the field with his whole tognorrow. i suit. The battles were near. Krasnoi. It was hoped he would fall into the lands of WITTGENSTCHI or TSCHITSCHAGOIT." The dispatches from Lord CATHCART were brought by Mr. DANIELS, the Messenger, who landed at Har wich yesterday from the Auckland packet. The fol. lowing is the account given by the passengers of the defeat of the French armies : LONDON. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16. 1 ‘ HARWICH, DECEMBER 16. " By the Auckland packet, Captain BructE, ar rived in four days from Gottenbwg►h, we have the pleasing satisfaction orhearing that the French have again been most signally defeated in a series of actions. The brave KUTUSOEF has defeated BONA• ranre 'with great loss, and afterwards gained another victory in a hard fought battle of two days duration, in which Marshal NEY was killed, and EUCIENZ BEAUHARNOIS taken prisoner. Twelve Thousand French have laid down their arms, and Ten Thou sand more made prisoners. Immense slaughter took, place, and upwards cf Two Hundred pieces of can non and ammunition waggons have fallen into the bands of the victors. -" The date of the above actions extended from the llth -to tile 19th of November. The French, after spending some days in fortifying Smolensk, at length gave up that idea, and the whole was mined and blown up. A short time after they were brought to action by the Russians, at some distance from that place, on the Minsk road. The Auckland brings 23 passengers, including Mr. DANIRLS, the Messenger, with Di.patches, and Mons. the Marquis de. MA WON FORT, attached to the Russian Legation - at this Court. The Diana has also arrived .from Heligoland, but brings no news." es GOTTENBURG, DEC. 9. " We continue to receive most gratifying intelli gence from the theatre of war ; the following is the substance of the latest news received : " On the 17th Nov. in an engagement between the' kussians and French, in which NAPOLEON (assisted Iby the Prince of EciartaiL) commanded in person, the enemy were defeated with the loss of 9170 men, 100 Officers, and one General, with seventy pieces of cannon taken. On the 18th or 19th, NEY attacked the Russians with a firm determination to conquer or to die. when after a bloody conflict, 12,000 of his men laid down their arms, and demanded quarter; all their baggage, with 27 pieces of cannon, were taken. The fields were covered with French dead ; the Rus sian loss is represented as but trifling. General PLAYOFF in the space of seventeen wersts, took 112 cannon. NEY is reported to be mortally wounded, and femur Generals killed. " Other accounts state the number of prisoners infinitely greater, and that the Cossacks and other Russian corps were in close pursuit of the enemy. , • 44 Further reports from Stockholm state, that NET is dead, and the Vice-King of ITALY among the prisoners." OFFICIAL ACCOUNTS 'FROM ST. PETERSBURGII, OF 21ST NOVEMBER. " The Field-Marshal Prince Kurusort reports to his Majesty the EMPEROR, under date the 13th No vember, from the head-quarters at Lobkow (between the town of Jelna and the river Duna), that General MILORADOWITSCH had, on the 9th November, between the roads to Douchotchina and Smolensk, taken 21 pieces of cannon, and made 910 prisoners. " On the same day a Russian detachment, op the road from Jilna to Smolensk, attacked a French corps, which was endeavouring to join the Grand French army : 2000 men, with the General of Bri gade, AUGEREAU, were made prisoners. This corps of the enemy belonged to the division of General BA RAGUA.Y D'HILLIERS. 44 General Count WITTGENSTEIN was on the 14th of November attacked near Senno by Marshal Vic- TOIL'S corps. The action continued' during the fol lowiog day, and was extremely sharply contested.- - The . French troops were 6nally driven back at all points, with the lou of 1600 prisoners. General Count WITTGENSTEIN has reported from Sennos, Ml cler.4ate of ;Niciv,tltther 14, that after the before-men. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

In consequence of these intimations, writs were ordered for the places thus .scaled A new writ was also ordered for the Borough of Petersfieid in the room of the Right Hon. George Canping, who was also elected for Liverpool and Sligo, and did not make his election for Petersfield. Mr. BANKS gave notice, that, on the 11th of February next, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to abolish Sinecure Nut's :nd Places in Reversion. Mr. Paoruraot presented a Pet;tion from the Clergy of Bristol, against the Claims of the Roman Catholics.—Ordered to lie on the table. _ _ Mr. BENNET moved that there be laid before the House, copies of the letters from the Marquise's of Buckingham and Camden to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, relative to the giving up a part of t:.e emoluments detived by these Noblemen from their Offices of Tellers of the Exchequer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not aware of any advantage that coup result froin the production of the papers in question, as the fact which they communicated was already before tbe public. Mr. BENNET said he was induced to make the motion, by the have that other persons might be led to follow the example of these Noblemen.

'1 he Distillery Prohibition rim, and the Household Bill, were ordered to bt read a third time to-morrow.--1--Adjourned. _ THE EVENING STALL MORE RUSSIAN VICTORIES. TOTAL DEFEAT OF TUE FRENCH ARMY COMMANDED BY BONAPARTE IN • PERSON: At a late hour last night a Gottenburgh Mail ar rived, bringing intelligence even lar more than the most sanguine politician could have 4ntici • pated from the late erents Russia, glo ri ous as they have been. We have now before us the &fails of the - operations of the Russian armies horn the Isth (when the last d;spatches left them at Lobkovo) to the 19th ; and this short space of five days has been" prolluctive of greater and more tremendous disasters to the French armies, even than those which they have already experienced. The dexterous manccuvres of the Russian Generals have succeeded to admiration. Having, as we have already stated, completely surrounded Smolensk, the miserable French army was doomed to the dreadful and barbarous alternative of cutting a passage for BONAPARTE, to enable him personally to escape. The result of the attempt has been to annihilate the French array, but they have partially attained their object, for the Tyrant has for the preterit es caped—his ultimate safety, however, is still proble matical, for he has fled with thousands of Cussacks at his heels ; and he must inevitably encounter the armies of WITTGENSTEIN and TSCITHAGOFF, which have now joined. The disguise of„a common soldier can alone save him ; and in this way, perhaps with an escort reduced to a few hundreds, he has reached Warsaw or Wilna. But this is calculating upon a continuance of that extreme good fortune which has 'en long attended the Monster's career. Success to his brave Pursuers ! May their horses be sure and swift of foot ! The battle which precede 3 the miscreant's flight, lasted two days. Twenty-four thousand French'spl dierswere put dory de combat. Twelve thousand of them laid down their arms, and the rest were killed, wounded, or taken prisoners. Two hundred pieces of cannon were taken. Some of BONAPARTE'S best Generals are reported to hive been killed or taken prispnets ; and though last not least, amid all these. Viumiths, the brave / . i.ussjan Qcueral count WIN! W tinned battle, he had effected a Junction with Admiral TscHicHAGoses army, which bad entered Min s k, 0 , Colonel CZERNITSCHLTI has, with a separate corps, taken a transport of remount horses, destined for Prince SCOWARTZENBURC'S army, and likewise had the happiness of retaking a large transport Russian prisoners of war ; among whom were Baron WtNzmosnons and General SWITCH EN. Three Frendh couriers have likewise been stopped by Colonel ICZERNITSCHILFFIS corps. , 0 The Russian 'General Lzwis's corps in Cent. land has obtained several small advantages ov:s r d e , tachments of•the Marshal MACDONALD'S army." On the 15th November, the Emperor ALFAM:DD I issued a proclamation, of which the following h brief abstract It begins by stating, that no endeavours on Lis part could avert war; that NAPOIZON having collected an immense force of Austrians, &c. &c. he entered his • territory with fire and sword, carrying destructive, &c. wherever he went ; that cruelties heretofore un heard of, prove that he had the invasiJe of Russi a long in contemplation ; that the happiness of R uss ; 4 awakened his cupidity, and inclined him to de. stroy her ; that he hoped by flattery to seduce . the Russian people, and like an overwhelming storm,, penetrate into her provinces; th at E t ,• rope supposed her lost ; but though on ail sides 0 pressed, • nothing could. terrify Russians; that, goo repeated defeats, he seeks safety in flight—that de jected, he flies from Moscow, leaving every thin s behind him—that thousands of his troops daily fall Sacrifices—that the enemy's strength is reduced to.tbe lowest condition—that all classes of the State have given the most unequivocal proofs of their patriotism I —and concludei by stating, that if the enemy does dot' Meet v;itb•his utter destruction, it will lead him properly to estimate the Russian power and strength. • ' LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY., Tr tIN ' 1 to tit V V ce ca' 9 e WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1812.
