Her Majesty the Empress Queen and Regent has received the following intelligence respecting the situa tion of the armlei on the 2d of June : " The head quarters of the Emperor were still at Neumarkt ; those of the Prince of Moskwa at Lissa.

" General Lauristral entered Breslau at 6 o'clock in the morning of the Ist of June. A Prussian corps from 6 to 71ff0 men, which covered that town, by defen ling the passage of the Lohe, were driven to the village of Neul;rchen. 44 The Burgomaster and four Deputies from the town of Breslau, were presented to the Emperor at Neumarkt, the Ist of June, at two o'clock in the afternoon. His Majesty told them, that they might assure the inhabitants he pardoned every thing they might have done, to second the spirit of anarchy which the Steins and the Scharnhorsts wished to excite.— The town is perfectly tranquil, and all the inhabitants remained in it. " Breslau offers very great resources. " The Duke of Vicenza, and the Russian and Prussian Plenipotentiaries, Count Schotrvaloff and General Kleist, exchanged their full powers; and neu tral zed the village of Peicherwitz. Forty infantry, and '2O cavalry, furnished by the French Army, and the same number of men furnished by the Allied Army, respectively occupy the two entrances of the " On the 2d, in the morning, the Plenipotentiaries had a conference to fix the line, which, during the Armistice, should determine the position of the two prmies. In the mean time, orders have been given irt.m h head-qttarters, that no hostilities should take p 1 ce. Thus, since the Ist of June, at two in the :,iientoon, there have been no hostilities com mitted on either side." PARIS, JUNE 10. Her Zefajesty the Empress and Queen has received the following intelligence respecting the situation of the Armies on the 3d June : " The suspension of arms still continues. The respective Plenipotenti.trics continue their negotiations I,r the Armistice. General Lauriston has seized, upon the Oder, more than 60 vessels, lath n with meal, wine, and warlike ammunition, destined for the army which besieged Glogan ; all these provisions have been forwardt d to that fortress. " Our advanced posts are half way to Brieg. 4 ' Geller d Hogendorf has been named Governor of B-eslatt. The greatest order reigns in that town. The inhabitants appear very much d:scontented, and even indignant, at the dispositions made relative to the Laadsturm ; they attribute these dispositions to Gener.il Scharnhorst, who passes kr an anarchittl ja cob.n. He was wounded at the baffle of Lutzen. 4 ‘ The Prussian Britlcesses, who hastily withdrew from B:rlin, to take refuge at Breslau, have left the latter town. to seek shelter still farther.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 15. Some proceedings were had in the Barnwell and Airly Peer ages.—Further proceedings in the latter on Thursday. IRISH CATHOLICS. The Duke orNORFOLK moved the committal of his Irish Catholic Bill.—ln the Committee, _ _ Lord LIVERPOOL approved of the object of the Bill, which he understood to be merely to carry into effect the Irish Act of 1793. The Legislature then, no doubt, intended that a Catholic receiving his first Commission in Ireland, and then coming to England, might there rise to the extent permitted in Ireland, without being liable to the penalties of the English Statutes. It was therefore, he agreed, very proper to do every thing that might be necessary to give full effect to that intention. With the same view of giving effect to the Act of 1793, he had two amend ments to propose, to which there could be no objec tion ; and he accordingly moved one of the amend ments. The Duke of NORFOLK was happy that this Bill, taken up by himself individually, had received the sanction of those who administered the Govern ment. The amendments went merely to the more complete effecting of the purpose in view, and he had no objection to them. Lord HOLLAND said, as far as this Amend ment, together with the Bill itself, went to relieve a certain portion of the subjects of this country from the operation of statu:es which ought not to exist, it had his approbation, because he would willingly sup port any thing that made even the smallest in-road into the code of persecution and intolerance; but, at the same time, he called upon their Lordships to con sider in what situation they would place the English Catholics, the Irish Presbyterians, and almost the whole people of Scotland, by this amended Bill, if it should pass. The Irish Catholic wotrid have privi leges in this country which were denied to English Catholics. If, indeed, an English Catholic crossed St. George's Channel, and took the first commission in Ireland, then he might rise in the army, through the limited steps ; but it he had the misfortune to be first employed in England, this privilege was re fused. English Catholics were, therefore, to be liable to pains and penalties, from which other Catholics in England were to be exempt, because they had the good fortune to be burn, or to begin their career, on the other side of St. George's Channel—a good reason fOr the distinction, no doubt, in the logic of intolerance: but what would be the condition of the Irish Pres!qterians ? The Teat Act, as he might call it for the sake of bre vity, subjected them to penalties from which the Irish Catholics would be exempt: yet, in Ireland, a Pres byterian enjoyed more privileges than a Roman Ca tholic ; and by what logic was it, that an Iridt Pres byterian coming to England was to be placed on a worse footing than an Irish Catholic ? The Noble Lord ought, tpon the principle of his own amend ment, to go a great deal farther, and to extend the privileges, now to be given to the Irish Catholics, to the Irish Presbyterians. The Irish Catholics would likewise have greater privileges in England than any of almost the whole Scottish nation ; and what was the object of the law by which the Presbyterians were thus excluded ? It was to guard against the dangers of Popish recusancy ; so that Roman Catholics would have greater advantages than Presbyterians, under the operation of a law against Popish recusancy.— Such, again, was the logic of Intolerance! He would support the Amendment, however, sych as it was, on the principle he had before stated ; and also be cause it went to make the code of persecution, already absurd and ridiculous, ten times more absurd and ridiculous than it was before. The principle f)f the Noble Lord's Amendment was monstrous; but he would vote for it, because it would lead the sooner to an examination of the whole code of persecution and intolerance ; and, upon investigation, the whole mass and fah' is of that code would tumble to pieces at once. Lcrd LIVERPOOL reminded the Noble Baron, that the specific object of this Bill was to carry into effect the intention of the Legislature, manifested by an Act already in existence. It had nothing to do with alterations in other respects. Lortj HOLLAND still contended, that his argu ments applied strictly to the subject of the Bill and amendment. The ?Mice of NORFOLK agreed perfectly with his Noble Friend (Holland,) in the principles which he had stated i but these ought to be reserved for AA judge tieedary. nese atteiattoet shall be Made le eebtert with an Officer of the Staff of each army, upon the principle of perf , ct reciprocity. 5. 1 he fortresses of Dantzic, Modlie, Zamose, Stettin, and Custrin, shall be re-victualled every five days, according to the t• rce of their garrisons, through the care of the commanders of tl,e blockading troops. A Commissary, appointed by the Commandant of each place, shall be with one of the besieging troops, to see that the stipulated provisions are exactly supplied. 6. During the time of the armistice, every fortress shall have beyond its walls an extent of a French league. This ground shall be neutral. Magdeburg will, consequently, have its frontier a lope upon the right bank of the Elbe. 7. A French officer shall be sent into each of the besieged pines, to inform the Commandant of the conclusion of the ar mistice, and of ire re-victualling. A Russian or Prussian officer shall accompany him during the journey, both going and coming. e. Commissaries named on both sides in each place, shall fix the price of the provisions furnished. This account settled at the end.of every month, by the Commissioners charged with maintain ing the armistice, shall be paid at the head-quarters, by the Pay master General of the Army. 9. Officers of the Staff shall be appointed on either side, to re gulate, in concert, the general line of demarkation, respecting points which shall not be determined by running water, and re specting which there may arise any difficulty. 10. All the movements of the troops shall be so regulated that each army shall occupy its new line on the 12th June (June 31). All the corps or parts of the combined army which may be be yond the Elbe, or in Saxony, shall return into Prussia. 11. Officers of the French and combined armies shall he dis patched conjointly to cause hostilities to cease on all points, and make th..l armistice known. The re , pective Commanders in Chief shall furnish them with the necessary powers. P 2. On both sides two Commissioners, General Officers, shall Fe appointed to watch over the stipulations of the present arntis-• tier. 1 hey shall remain in the line of neutrality at Neumarkt, to decide upon such disputes as may occur. These Commissioners shall proceed there within 24 hours, in order to expedite Officers and orders that may be sent in conse quence of the present armistice.—Dcne, &c. 46 His Majesty the Emperor set out on the sth, at break of day, to proceed to Leignitz. It is thought that whilst the Armistice lasts, his Majesty will spend part orhis time at• Glogau, and the greater part at Dresden, in order to be nearer his States. Glogau is provisioned for a year." future discussion. Certainly the only object of the present Bill was to give effect to the ' Irish Act of 1793 ; and to that he wished it to be exclusively confined. was one which deserved the encouragement and countenance of the House. After a few words from Mr. Vi r uarrott and Mr. CALCRAPT in explanation, Mr. BARING objected to making the Crown t!, proprietor of so many houses as would be obtained by it under this Bill. He thought, if the Crown % ,,,, r; allowed to purchase, it should also be compelled to sell for the Public. The Bill then went through the Committee, and was ordered to be printed. SWEDISH TREATY. Lord ROSSLYN had waited to see whether the Noble Lord opposite (Liverpool) was to present the substance of the engagements between Russia and Sweden, which was essential to the due consideration of the Swedish Treaty ; but he now found that it was not intended to present that paper to-day. For that reason he should suppose, that the Noble Lord him self would have no objection to postpone the consi. deration of the Swedish Treaty. But he had another reason for pressing this, which was the indisposition of a Noble Friend of his, who was anxious to be pre sent at the discussion. Lord LIVERPOOL did tot think the first reason sufficient, as he should be able to present the paper in question tomorrow ; and he knew that it contained nothing that ought to lead to a postponement of the consideration of the Swedish Treaty from Thursday to a later day. The other reason, he allowed, was sufficient to Induce him to agree to any postponement that might not be inconsistent with the public service. He had no objection, therefore, to fix his motion for the consideration of the Treaty for Friday ; and it was fixed for Fliday accordingly.—Adjourned. Mr. WHARTON objected to the Crown 116-- compelled to sell ; if compelled, it would be s.:rc sell to disadvantage. Sir R.
