L ~: PARLIAMENTARY' PROCEEDING:. HOUSE OF COMMONS, NOVEMBER S. The SPEAKER read a letter from General Aber eromby, dated Madras, acknowledging the receipt of the Voteof Thanks o f the House, which he consi— dered as the highest honour that could be conferred %vim him. . • AP?BZNTICt Serjeant ONSLOW gave notice, that oil - the 13th of this month, he would move for leave to bring in a Bill, to- repeal so much of the statute of the sth of Elisabeth, chap. 4, as related to persons exercising a trade, without having served an apprenticeship of WIPER years. A now Writ was ordered for the electior of a Knight of the Shire, for the county of Westmoreland. On the Motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Standing Orders of the House were renewed, as usual, at the beginning of the Session. Lord CASTLEREAGH gave nutice, thAt ou Thursday next, he would submit a Motion to the House, the object of which would be to increase the disposable forces of the country. Lord MILTON asked, across the table, what was the nature of the measure in contemplation ? , • Lord CASTLEREAGH declined answering, on the griaind that an unsatisfactory statement might • prove prejudicial. Lord COMPTON brought up the. Report of the Address ; which was read a first and second time, ' and agreed to.. - On. the motion of Lord CASTLEREAGH, it was ordered, that the Address should be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent by the whole House; and that such Members of the House as • were also Members of the Privy Council, should Wait on bis Royal Highness, to inquire when he would be • pleased to receive the same ? - On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the . -'EXCHEQUER, the Prince Regent's Speech was tesdered to be taken into further consideration to . • anorrow (this day).

Mr.WHITBREAD had always protested against allangemencs of that sort, and he tvould renew his nrotist, although, he owned, without any prospect o success. Atter some further conversation on the subject, between Mr. Wysxc and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the proposition was finally agreed to. PRIVATE RILLS.

A'report prevailed last night of the actual fall of Pamplona, but we can assure our Readers that no account of such an event, either official or private, had reached Town when this Paper was put to press. It is nevertheless highly probable that it has surren dered some days since, for, according to the letter which was intercepted in its way from the Governor to SOULT, the former declared he could not hold out beyond the 25th. While upon this subject we have to notice a report, although we know not upon what authority it is founded, that Lord WELLINGTON intends to set out for Catalonia, instantly after the surrender of Pam. pion.. He tikes two divisions of his army with him, and leaves Sir Jolts, HOPE in the command, at the foot of the Pyrennees, during his absence. His Lord ship's next euterprize. will of course be the final ex pulsion of SUCHET, who clings to Catalonia with as much obstinacy as his Master did to the yanks of the Llbe, and with just as much probability of ultimate success. The fact is, that, to use a vulgar phrase, Smiler's army is "bespoke :" his chalices of escape, we apprehend, are few indeed. We yesterday stated, that Admiral Youro's Squa dron, in the Downs, had received orders to sail im mediately for the Scheldt, in consequence of a report at an attempt was to be made to remove the Dutch, or rather the French fleet, from the Scheldt to Brest, or some other secure port. At five o'clock yesterday afternoon, the signal for satlipg was flying on board of Admiral Yeusc's ship, but they had not sailed when the post came away : they were expected to sail this morning. Yesterday afternoon Mr. SHAW, the Messenger, left town with alispaybes for Lord CATHCART and Gene ral Sir C. STR*ART• 4uestott Atm:nos IV. King of Saxony, taken prisoner on the 19th ultimo, in Leipsic, with his Court, is in his 63d year. He was elevated to the rank of King by BONAPARTE, who also made him Arch.bilarsha 'of the Roman Empire, and Duke of Warsaw. A letter from Andaye, dated the 12th ult. says there were-onlyvtwo British regiments in France. The Iqcoch troops were 40,000 strong, but so *dissipated, thlit they could not be induced to face the Allies...— The writer witnessed a naval action ra the coast, between an-English and French brig f the land blew up in the cou!se of ten minutes alter the action co:11=1ml, -* • WM' lIBURGH MAIL. • .• A. Gottereargh Mail arrived this morning. On board the Packet which brought it, Captain SAWS, Sir C. Stawaltr's Aide-de-Camp, came passenger, with the original of the . Glorious Dispatches already received and made public". , The Packet having been ten days on her pauage from Gottenburgh, the intelligence does not come down late enough to add much to the details already before the public. Some of the particulars in the subjoined accounts will, nevertheless, be found inte. resting. Strong hopes are entertained on the Conti nent that the French Tyrant will not be able to effect his escape. GOTTENBURGH, OCTOBER 115. u After the glorious victories of the 161 h and 18th inst. and the capture of Leipsic, Platoff was sent in the.rear of Napoleon, kr the purpose of endeavouring to cut off his retreat, and sanguine hopes are enter tained that Bonaparte will be made prisoner. " Lauriston and Regnier are taken; Ney danger ously wounded. 4i The troops which went over from the . French carried with them 60 pieces of artillery. " Blucher, on the 16th, took 40 cannon ; and on the 18th, upwards of 100 more were taken•" BERLIN, OCTOBER 9. 44 In continuation of the progress made by the Army in Inner Austria, the following has been made public by the Commanding General-in-Chief, Baron Hiller : 44 On the 19th the enemy was driven back at all points to the passage over the Drove, and in such manner that by the possession of Mantiog and Her mager, he was threatened in his rear, and fell back to Torvis and Villach ; the greater part of the circle, and part of that of Laybach, as far as Kraenburg, is in our hands. 64 The poisession of Fiume, the advance against Laybach, together with the progress of the army, gave his Excellency, the Commanding General, the best founded hopes of the enemy's being shortly obliged to make a further retreat." , As might be expected, the arrival of the Mail has given currency to various rumours. One of them, that Bow ArAwrs was taken prisoner on the 22d nit. Another, that JEROME BONAPARTE is a prisoner. Bu t little credit is attached to either of these reports. A vessel has arrived frltn Malaga, and the follow ing are a" few extracts of Papers from the Peninsula which have been sent us 1,4 MADRID, OCTOZEitI. 7. " ' Deserters from the French Army, with a Oat number of peasants, enter the British linos at Vera and Echalar, the latter to avoid the rigorous con scription which is carried into effect in Gascony. 66 About 5800 British infantry and 800 cavalry have lately disembarked at Passages." " FRONT lERS OF NEW CASTILE, OCT. 4. gg Letters have been received from Calahorra, stat ing that the troops of the Third Army were ap. proaching Pampluna, but Whether they would be ordered to cooperate against that place, or to pro ceed to some station in the Pyrenees, was not ascer tained." " BANKS OF THE TAGUS, OCTOBLR 15. " From Reus--Suchet has not moved from his position near Barcelona. The English, with a division of Neapolitans, are in Tarragona. The Calabrians and the Sicilians in Valls, division of Majorcans is in this town, and the Catalonian army is at Vick.— Sarsfield commands the van-guard at Villafranca. Tarragona is now so much strengthened, that it is in a situation to resist any attack of the enemy." The following information we have received through the West Indies : " The Province of Venezuela, with the exception of ,Porto Cavallo, Covo, and aracaybo, had been subdued by the Insurgent army, which, it appears, is gaining the ascendancy in every direction. In con sequence of this state of things, many of the inhabi - tants attached to the Government of Spain were seek ing refuge in other countries from the horrors atten dant on revolutionary warfare, and vessels with num. bers of these unfortunate fugitives were daily arriving ai Curacoa. There is every reason to believe that Porto Cavallo has since been taken by the Insurgents, as on the 2cl inst. an Officer arrived at Curacoa in an open boat from that port, who stated, that a heavy bombardment bad been heard from the forts, supposed to be during an attack by General Boliva, who had marched from the Caraccas some time since at the head of 5000 men, for the purpose of reducing that place. Information has been received from Barracoa of the arrival of two line of battle ships, with '25 sail under their protection, and 6000 troops on board, from Cadiz. They reached that port on the 2d inst. where they obtained pilots to proceed to theilavanna." ' Colonel DALZELL, of the London District Staff, is to be the new Deputy Adjutant• General for Ireland. A meeting took place at the Basin, near Cork, on Thursday last, between Lieutenants FITZPATRICK and Locxwoon, of the Tipperary Militia; when, after exchanging three shots each, without any injury to either party, several Gentlemen interfered, and the matter was amicably adjusted. A riot between some Orangemen and Catholic peasantry took place a few days since near Dromore, which, as usual, ended in murder. A man, named HAMILTON, almost instantly lost his life in the affray. At an early hour in the morning of Tuesday se'en night, four fishermen, belonging to the neighbour hood of Sligo, met a watery grave on the Tyreragh coast. .The small boat in which they were was so completely shattered on the dangerous reefs with which that part of the bay abounds * that scarcely a vestige remained at day-break. The truly philanthropic Mr. Wrap has beef{ at Bungay for a week, duripg whch time he has given away for charitable purposes above itl.sqo, in placing orphaps and other boys out apprentices, 4nd in relieve log numerous distressed objects. • - SECOND EDITION. ... BONAPARTE AT ERFURT. STAR OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK. French rapers to the 3d instant, Have just arrived in Town. The Mosiitur of the 2d contains a Re port or Bulletin from BONAPARTE to the EMPREES, in which he informs her that he had found it neces sary to retire upon Erfurt. The Bulletin ackowledirs, that in the battles of the 16th and 18th, he had lost a great many Gene rals, and many thousands of his troops ; but he ascribes his disasters to the desertion of the Saxons, the Bavarians, and theWurtemburgers, against whom he denounces vengeance. , He arrived at Erfurt on the 24th October. There had been constant fighting up to that day. No men tion is made of .the number of troops which BONA PARTE has collected at Erfurt. Elfttrt is only 80 miles from Leipsic, in the direc tion of France. BONAPARTZ has still 300 miles to travel through an enemy's country before he reaches the Rhine.. The time occupied from the 24th of October to the 2d iastant, before the above intelligence reached Paris, is an additional proof that the commuaications with France are still intercepted.

His Majesty's ship FORTUNE; Captain GoATz, arrived on Saturday from a short cruize. This morning arrived his Majes ty's sloop PELICAN, from a cruize. GLASGOW, NOVEMBER 3. Yesterday an elegant entertainment was given in the Black Bull, by most of the eminent Merchants here, to K. FINLAY, EsCt. M. P. for this City, al a mark of respect for his attention to their interests in the Senate ; on which occasion Mr. FINLAY addressed the Meeting in an appropriate speech. Provost JOHN HAMILTON in the Chair. One hundred and fifty were present. The new jail, and public buildings connected with it, which have been erected here, is probably not ea-- ceeded in point of elegance and accommodation by any of the kind in the United kingdom. The Courts of Law and public offices are established there, and the security, as well as the comfort of the prisoners, have been particularly consulted. It cost about Je30,000. The Asylum for the reception of Luna. tics, just finished, holds a distinguished rank among the public edifices, and commands the universal ad miration of all who visit it. The Magistrates have in contemplation to increase the number of established churches here, and augment the present salaries of the Clergy, by levying a tax On the inhabitants. This measure has agitated the public mind in a very great degree, and met with a more formid.tble opposition from the various public bodies, incorpi.t. elms, and individuals in general, than has been kiwow•n on any former occasion. To-day a meeting or all the householders' and shop-keepers has been called, to consider the expedient measures to be adopted to oppose the intended tax, which is considered novel in its principle, and equally unnecessary as it is unjust. The heads of a Bill to be brought into Parliament to torward the object have already appeared, and been r circulated. Trade has greatly revived, and life and animation have been infused into the Public by the recast glo nous events on the Continent, M'CREADY Opeti the Theatre here on the 9th inst. with a formidable.

THE ARMYe Colonel TORIUDIS is recovered from his indisposi. tion, and attended for the first time yesterday at the [-CmEr's Office, who held a Military Levee. The Hon, Major-General LWILEY bas arrived in town to take the duty of Groom of the Bedchamber to the PRINCE REGENT. Saiurday se'nnight the Derry Militia marched into Cork from Midleton, to embark on board the trans ports destined to take them to Bristol ; but in conse quence of their destination being -altered, they had to return the same day to the above place. The transports that have arrived at Cork are now ordered to take the Derry and West York tO Ports mouth, and have to lay in provisions accordingly. which will delay their sailing. They are take provi sions from Portsmouth for Lord WELLINGTON'S army. The West York are to be replaced at Cork by the Oxford Militia. The Kildare Militia, about 250 strong, arrived is England last week, and received orders to march for Canterbury, but in consequence of part of the garri son at Chatham being detached to escort French prisoners to Norman Cross, they have been halted at that place to perform the duty until their returo, when they will resume their march for Canterbury. The Oxfordshire Regiment experienced no other inconvenience than a heavy sea in its passage from Bristol, on Saturday morning, the 25d ult. to its ar rival at Cork on the following day at three o'clock. The Regiment proceeded to Bandon on Wednesday. Iwhich is its present station. Thursday se'nniglit, the Dumfries militia were in. spected and reviewed at Dumfries, by the Hon. General MONTOOMERY, who exprelsed himself in strong terms of approbation, respecting the appear ance and discipline of the men. The recruiting into the line commenced on Tuesday, and 27 of the corps enlisted as follows :—Six into the 71st, two into the 79d, 15 into the 74th, and four into the 78th regiments • On the night' of Sunday last, as ritANCIS SMYTH, Esq. of Carrick-on-Suir, was sitting in his parlour at Ballynaclashy, in the county of Waterford, and within about two miles of .Bonmahon, three men entered. and instantly shot him dead. After perpetrating this criminal deed, they departed, Ve itlIQUt robbing the house, or using any other violence. This disgiaeeful outrage is supposed to be the result of in4ieidual Friday se'nnight the London mail-coach was over turned between Duilbar and Haddington, near Beall ston, in consequence of one of the horses Awing at some straw lying on the road-side. 'Pe carriage was thrown into the appos,k ditch, where it stuck fast. The mail was forwarded iika post-chaise. We have not heard of any injury having arisen horn the accident. . A few nights ago, as a poor industrious man, a cooper by trade, was returning home from his work, he was waylaid by some savage ruffians, in Nelson street, Belfast, and most inhtunanlyi beaten with bludgeons, tic. to the imminent hazard of his life which, it is probable, the villains intended to take away, but were providentially prevented from killing him on the spot by the interference of some neigh bours, He now lies dangerously ill, with his skull fractured. Ths only* cause assigned for this barbaroni outrage, is the refusal of the sufferer to join - jo a com e bination of the journeymen coopers to abstain from working, for the purpose of raising their wages. Two of the offenders are in custody, and we trust they will ' not escape the punishment their conduct so Asdf de mands from the insulted laws of the country„.. ‘ . •._ The following is an extract of a priyate letter from Bremen, dated October 20:-- ,4 Already, on Thus day, the 12th instant, rumours reached our town that the Russians were at Verden; bat no person would attach any credit to it, as we had so often been dice appointed. It was p however, fully confirmed the following morning, as a number of Cossacks were seen swarming round the town. At nine o'clock, a. r 4. a heavy cannonade began before the Eastem Gate, which Listed the whole day ; but our Thursday it slackened, and little firing was heard. Most hap' pily for our town, a capitulation was concludedt sa the night from Thursday to Friday, as the French • garrison was in want of powder. The brave fciai l cans and Prussians entered our town on the hStb, to the universal joy of the inhabitants, who reeeiye4 them as liberators from an odious and most tyrannil cal yoke. Many inhabitants embraced the brave. Cossacks on their horses, as well as the brave Mr. Backhouse, who is a Colonel in the Russian ser vice, and who commanded a part of the Cossacks. --During the bombardment, two large wind-mills on the eastern gates, and old. and new ramparts, woe struck by howitzers, and burnt down to the ground. One bomb fell in the New Town s on the house of a Physician, who was very much attacbedto the fre9o. and whose daughter was wounded by the explotioni t which took place in the sitting-room. Another bomb fell on the house of Mt*. Moysa, at the Cathedral square, went through a cradle in the childrense room, exploded in the saloon, and broke the furnitore, with out hurting any person. One fell on Mr. Boring's house, in the Schussel-korb, another in Wilken-strassc, and a fourth in the Little Weser, without doing any material damage, None of the inhabitants have been killed, but the houses on the ramparts of the eastern gate have been much damaged. The Cossacks, and all the troops, behaved uncommonly well. The for mer are dressed partly in sheep and bec - -slsins, and look very formidable, but their features announ c e ) the goodness of their character. Many of them are between 70 and 80 years old, but are as hearty AS other people of 50. 1 hey almost all sleep in the streets near their horses, upon straw, aact but few are in the houses, where they refuse beds, and lie upon straw, as well as the greatest part of their Officers.-- The Mayor and Municipality continue the recta. ment of the town, provisionally ; but tile t rctect, Count d'Arberg, and all the French who wire etn• ployed here, as well as the garrison, lett us early , 1 1, the morning of Saturday lasts they talc. with them the curses of the inhabitants. An immense quantity of tobacco has been sold here very cheap—it lklonged to Bonaparte's famous tobacco monopoly. As swill as the french batteries at Blixen and Bremerihe shal be taken, I hope we shall have a free communicaiiiin , with England. All is joy and mirth here, Old and New . Towns have been most brilliaia) minated.'' • • 4.11111.1 I 30 hi ra I Fra 1 fro' E sqm .1 Prot I l 'Nei Mr. 9 to hell ter dit the Nol Ho Pal p9s whi last Drl prir ant but the, st li la r
