The enemy had burnt the bridges, and endeavoured to oppole the paffage of the River, with a numerous body of infantry, a 12-pounder, and a howitzer. So quick and fo well concluded was the attack, that the enemy *cold not avail themfelves of their advantageous fituation. The light troops threw themfelves upon the enemy's guns and forced their defenders to tak: in flight ; and thus the enemy left their whole artillery ellid ammunition waggons in the lurch. Our trcops purfiieil the fl) ing encrny for two miles, as far as Lago Nero, where the enemy had made arrangements for evia,:ing a brave and refolute r.ppotition.

SHERIFFS OF WATERFORD. Sir JOHN NEWPORT role to requeft the atten tion of the Houfe fur a few moment., to a motion which had been appointed for this day, refpeaing the Sheriffs of Water (Lad. He hoped, that if it fhould appear, that what had been done proceeded from ig norance, or inattention, the Houfe would be inclined to pafa it over, and that lenity would be thewn to thole wl.o had been chargeable with the overfight.— lint he would alfia Cubing to the confideration of his Honourable Friend, who had given notice of the motion, that there had been fame difficulty in the interpretation of the Aa on the fubjea, and that the law, a. it now flood in Ireland, had been the fubjea of conliderable doubt and difference of opinion. Mr. FOX raid, that he was difpofed to pay every attention to what had fallen from his Hon. Friend. The Mt impofed a pecuniary penalty on the Sheriffs, unlefs the return was made within forty days ; but it WAS not meant to give them a diferetionary power, to poflpone their return of a Member to the urmon limit prefcribed by the law. Still, however, as fome mikonfirudion of the aft had taken place in certain inflances, he did not wifh to bear hard on any indi viduals, who had not complied with what 'Heated to him the plain meaning of the aft. The only queftion fo► the Houle to confider w•culd now Oct-c -lime be, whether it would be proper to amend the aft, fo at to remove every doubr, or whither a re folution of the Houle would be fufficient to prevent any fuch irregularity for the future ? Mr. LEIGH Rated, for the information of the Houle, that the Sheriffs in Ireland had a power which was not poffelTed in this country. In the cafe of a return for a county member in Ireland, the two Attornies-general of the different countries had given opinions diametrically oppoGte. This was enough to Thew that confiderable mifapprehenfion exifted on the fubjeft of the ad. Sir VICARY GIBBS laid, it was clear that the penalty could not be levied, if the Sheriffs made their return within the period prefcribed by the aft. Mr. FOX then agreed to abandon the motion of which he had given notice. Wlll4lllllll DICLARATOLY BILL. The ATTORNEY GENERAL then moved, that the Houfe refolve itfelf into a Committee on the Witnelfes Evidence Declaratory Bill. The bPEAKER having put the quellion, that he now leave the Chair, Mr. PERCIVAL faid, that, though in his opinion there was no neceffity for the prefent Bill, yet he would defer his obfervations upon it till it had re ceived thole amendments which were likely to he .made in the Committee, and, therefore, he fheuld not oppofe it in the prefent Rage of its progrefs ; but he could not avoid making one remark on the Bill, which had with him confiderable weight. The de fign of the Bill was to cued that to be the law, which was the opinion of a majority of the Judges. But it appeared to him, that fix out of the eight Judges, who approved of the principle of the Bill, intended to give a qualified opinion. They feemed to think there might be exceptions from the general principle. The prefent Bill, therefore, feemed to afcribe to them the unqualified adoption of an opinion which they entertained with certain exceptions. This was an objeftion which he flould take an opportunity of urging againfk the Bill, unlefs certain qualifications of the general principle were introduced into it. The ATTORNEY GENERAL faid, that fence his Learned Friend had expreffed himfelf difatisfied with the principle of the Bill, he fubmitted it to him, whether it would not be more confiftent to oppofe the Bill in its prefent progrefs, and Rate fully his ob jedions to the principle, than afterwards to urge thofe ebjedions, when the Hoak had ( pent much time and attention on the amendment of the Bill, and which, after all, it might fee reafon to throw out al- together? The MASTER of the ROLLS defended the con tinency of his Learned Friend. He conld not help confidering the prefect Bill as unneceffary, but be would pay every degree of deference to the opinion of thofe who thought otherwife. If it fhould come out of the hands of the Committee in a fhape not very unfatisfatory,lt ntould not then meet with mush oppofition from him. Had he been called upon to give his opinion on the fubjetl of the Bill, he fhould have given that which was held by dm minority of the Judges. But Race the majority of the Judges had given a folemu decifion on the point, for the pur pote of guiding the opinion of the Lords on a Bill before that Houfe,he could not help confidering the matter as fulficiently fet at rel. He fhould think that no judge would henceforth all upon his own pri Tate opinion, in oppofition tothat of the majority, fence it could not fail to be overruled by the majority of the Judges. Thelaw, therefore, wasalready fufficiently de clared: there feemed no occafion for any interference of the Legiflature,and the Houfe of Lords had atied on the opinion which had been laid before them. But, as it had been already Rated by his Learned Friend, the majority of the Judges had delivered a qualified opinion. They Paid that, generally (peaking, a wit. nets was compellable to anfwer. This Bill, how. ever, converted into a univerfal propofition, what they only delivered as a general one. But he trolled, that certain exceptions and qualifications would be introduced into the Bill ; and in that cafe, from the deference which he felt for the opinion of the Judges, he lhould not oppofe its palling into a law. The Houfe having then refolved itfelf into the Committee, feveral Amendments were propofed by Mr. GILES i which were agreed t,, and the report ordered to be received to-morrow. CA►TOIL OF Ttll CAPI. Lord GARLIES laid, that previous to the Holi days, he had afked his Majefly's Minifters, whether they intended to move for a Vote of Thanks to be I conferred on the Military and Naval Commanders, to whole meritorious ferviees the country was indebted for the poreffion of the Cape of Gond Hope ? He was then given to underfland, that it was thought proper to wait for further difpatehes that might com municate the account of the complete conqueft of the Settlement. Thefe difpatcheslad now arrived, and feting his Majefty's Minitlers in their places, he took the prefent opportunity of enquiring, whether they meant to confer any mark of public approbation on thofe who had achieved that important conqueft? A Noble Lord (Lord Howick) had come down to the Houle with great alacrity in the cafe of Sir John Duckworth, and he believed, that had it been his particular province, he would have been equally forward on the prefent rice:scion. Mr. WINDHAM begged to Rate mat diflinlily to the Houfe, in anfwer to the quellion of the Noble Lord, that his Majefty's Miniflers had not abftained from propofing a Vote of Thanks on this oceation, from any want of approbation of the condo& of the Officers and men who had been engaged in the expe dition. They had done all that was wifhed to be done, and they had done it well; but it did not appear that the capture of the Cape was a military exploit of that fplendid nature, that called for loch a dillin guifhed mark of approbation as the Thanks of the Houle, which thould not be made cheap by being too frequently conferred. A certain degree of dil cretionary judgment with regard to the more and the las mull be left with Miniflers ; and on the bell judgment that they were able to form, the atchieve snent alluded to was not one of thole which called for the folemn thanks of Parliament. Lord GARLIES did not with to enter into the merits of the conqueft. The acquifition of the colony —[He was here interrupted by the Sr EA till, Whonb. hived, that there was n o que4L.o before the Houk.] Adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 76. PRICF.
