The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that it might he a question at some other pe riod, whether at their age it would not be adviseable to grant the Princesses separate establishments, but he observed that that was not the question then be fore the Huse. Mr. WHITBREAD declared that the statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman.rendered the attentive consideration of the subject more important than ever. For wh it was Parliament about to do? To form art establishment fur lier Majesty, on the sup poition that the Princesses woe to live with,ber.— And now the Right Hon.

He would also move that the House should take into consideratkin the system of Trade Licences. COMMITTEE OP SUPPLY. The Estimates pretenred by Mr. WHARTON, on Thursday, Navin; been retcrred to the Committee of Supply, the House re. solved itself into the Cimntitt. e. The suns of Li ...`5O was voted to his Majesty towards defraying the expences of Captain Manby's experiment for preserving ship wrecked sAlors (rent drowning ; and the sum of L4Bts towards the repairs of Henry VII:s Cbapel. On the mo:inn for granting to his Majesty the sum of 410,657, towards the erection of a Bridge over the Lien, near Carlisle, Cit. J. NEW PORT expressed his wish to have some information on the suhject. Mr. wiTARToN replied, that the vote was in consequence of the recommendation of the Commit tee ef that House, appointed to consider the best means of improving the intercounsq between Great Britain and Itelantl, through Portpatrick. It was deemed necessary to rebuild this bridge near Carlisle, but the county of Cumberland was unable to be at the whole expence. A proposition on the part ofthe Gentlemen of the county to pay half the expence, was acceded to by the Committee, and the House agreed to their report. Sir J. GRAHAM said that he was a Member of. the Conimittee alluded to. Represereation,s had been i rulde by almost every t;,bleinan and Gentleman in Ireland, t f the necessity of improving tic road from Portpatlick to Carlisle. Tit the pursuit of this object, k was ‘leemed indispencibic to rebuild this bridge, in order to ficiiitate the adrnisiou of Iri.ilr Gt.ntl..rntal into Lusk.) Mr. GILES observe,i, tin:tele^ existin:z bridge was so had as to b: indicted. IL was instate. tont tint only for the pas•te,, , ,e of Irish Gentlemen, but fir that of the droves of c.etle whitti \etre .:qtly corning tip from the North—(4 He dil slit see, how ever, why the county of Cumberland should receive greater :is,iAance in such an undertaking than anyl Other county. Mr. W H A RTONrepeatcdhis statementrespectiug l the Repert of the Committee. Sir J. NEWPOR'P could see no reason why the grounds urged for the adoption of this vote would not be: equaily applicable to IreLod, or to the South of Great Britain. No county in South Wales had made a similar representation with respect to the in tercourse between Dublin and Lrql.lon. He denied ' the statement of an Hon. Baronet, that almost every Irish Nobleman And Gert ernan had expressed all anxiety on the sulik:ct of this communication. Only those had done so, whe were interest: el by their le.'. deuce in the North of Ireland, and they had been used as to by the County of Cumberland, to serve its own purposes. After a further discussion, in svlrcli Mr. Wharton, I Mr. Sumner, Sir J Graham, Mr. Whitbread, Sir H. Montgomery, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Wailis participated, the Committee divided. For the Motion 3.7—Against it 27—Nlainity 8. The House having been resumed, the Report was Exedered to be received on Mondry. • , Sir J. NEWPORT inquired the reason that the Journals of the House had not been delivered to every Member? The SPEAKER stated, that two years ago those pu ilications amounting to many volumes, larger than Intl ever before been printed, It appeared to tire Lords of the Treasury tl at it would be advie.hle, with a view to economy, after depositing a certain number in the public libiaties of the country, to aid Vie liqui dation of the expence of publ.shing diem, by ordering the test to be carried to a gradual sale. So the matter then stood, and until - reversed by his Majesty, must continue to stand. Sic J. NEWPORT gave notice, that he would make a motion - on the subject, in order that every M e mber might be pr,.vided with . a copy of the Journals.—Adjourned.

In addition p the intelligence which we communi. cated from Listen yesterday,Portugume Papers to the Bth inst. have ioeen received. Gener.tl HILL, after his successful entexprize at Merida, was about to establish hirns , :lf at Lierena, in advance towards Seville. His corps amounted to 15,000 men, and he expected to be joined by the Spanish troops under MOULLLA and LAPLNA. TKls movement will occasion an alteta- tion kn the operations of SouLr, MAttmos - r, and Su. CHEr ; while Lord WELLINCiTON WAS expected to acl vanceagetin to the Agued.t, in order to recommence the lolockade of Ciudad Rodrigo, from v.lticla Mmt. OfONT has shew•n a disposition of retiring. The detaching of General HILL'S bri,2,ade proves !that Lord WELLINGTON feels perfectly confident as to the testi' t of any operation he may undertake with the remainder of his army ; and w•e have no doubt that we shall soon hoar of some important and successful military evolutions. . 1 General I affair is mentioned .in terms of ! high praise in l etters which we have seen f rom dif- i : facia military men.

On the 1f7.1 , , :Le advance, consisting of the lth a . m.( 10th regiments of; IPortuguese cavalry, and the 4th and 10th infantry,' `Portuguese, fell in with a party el the eue:ny, and. after a sharp conflict, killed 18, wounded 20, and took 25 prisoners ; their Liss consisted in one man killed, and two wounded. [The accounts differ a little in these numbers.] The division then marched on towards Merida, where about 1500 of a French division were posted. Works were thrown up in front lof the tots n, and all the streets were pallisadoed, but ,as soon as our army appeared, the enemy retired in much confusion, leaving a great quantity of stores of lall descriptions, and about I'AX) bullocks. The ful- Ilowing are extracts frein other private accour.'s : " ALMCIDA, JAN. S. ' 4 This fortress has long been triltr;oing rtpatrs, and from pile of loins, by the combined (fleas of two able Officers, the one English the other Poi ttigutse, it Is now converted Into a plActi of defence, and the woiks have met with the approbation of Lord WcaLizso f ON. 11 . It appears by the I.reparations as if it were seriously intend. ed to lay siege to Ciudad It och and the most 'prominent Indio cation is the artjval uf . tlie kutertips train, which has reached bead-eitsarti:re. " It will not readily be bebevcd, that in July last the number Of sick which were forced to remain in the rear of our army, es creded 22,0(0. Of these 15,000 have joined their regiments, 14,000 are in progress to their detachment., and the remainder are 'principally lA'altltrett C•l4(M—Very few have died." The letters all agree in representing the army to be , in high spirits, and to be confident far It considerable time of maintaining its ground on tire frontiers and from the re-establishment of Almeid.r, such may be prc.toned w be the purpose of the British Commanders. '1 he D al lington packet, the arrival of which from- Cad:z we noticed yesterday, beings accounts down to tie Ist inst. only, so teat we are unable front any in- 1 teiligcnce brought by her, to report or confirm the reptirt of the defeat of the French by the Sip inish General LATENA, which we communicated in the jrcatest pint of our impression of yesterday. The vessel which brought the intelligence must have left Cadiz on or about the 1001 instant. We are still in hopes, therefore, that the reported victory has been i obtained. The foLowil g sv::s the lett,r upon the authcrity of which we communicated the intelligence " Dar:mouth, January !I, )312. " His Majesty's hired brig Lvd Cochrane, lieu tenant TiNn.t.t.E Corninand,:r, spoke with the Ketch letter of marque called the General, of )0 guns and 2J men, on Saturday, off the Start, the Master of which informed Lieutenant 'l'. he was from Cadiz six days ;. that he had dispatches on board for Go vernment, and that the Spanish General LAPENA had had an engagement with the French, and that Gene ral LAPENA had defeated them and taken 1800 pri soners." By the Darlington we learn that General FrtazEn and his suite arrived there on the 30th, in the Rich, imoad, from, Ceuta, to join the army. Th e Rich . mood was to sail immediately for Lisbon, and had on board '300,000 dollars for the army in Portugal.- 1 he Ephera sloop was last on Christmas Day, on the Porpoise Rock.—The last accounts of General BAL..

Six thousand of the enemy were entrench. ed within 200 yards of the walls of Tarifa, and 4000 more within six miles; and 5000 more are expected. The .ciixpatches from Lord WELLINGTON, which should have arrived yesterday, reached Town this morning. They are !lewd Frenada, on the I s t i nst . 1 but contain no intelligence of public interest.
