. tber to remark, that it was not possible to establish a free trade with China ; for surely that would ill de . serve the name of a free trade which had no recipro city—which was not free on both sides. Mr. RICKARDS spoke against the present system, contending that it went to keep the people oklndia in a state of poverty and wretchedrass. Mr. LUSHINGTQN was for granting the Corn patty the term of twenty years. ' Be contended, that whatever abuses might have taken place in India SO years ago, they were now remedied. Bengal had greatly improved, and Me principle of the Govern anent was a principle of amelioration. Mr. CANNING observed, that the Noble Lord (Lord Castlereagh) had spoken of tweriky years as the customary term for which the Charter was re. mewed. One would have supposed by his statement, that it had gone on in this way for centuries; whereas in fact it had aot been three times, or even twice re newed for that term : there had bun many renewals for a shorter period of years, but sever more than one term granted for precisely the period of twenty years. If, however, they governed India well, he had no objection to granting them a renewal of their territorial Government for the whole term of twenty years ; but as to the China trade, he could see no reason for granting that to them for so long a period. Mr. WHITBREAD was decidedly for throwing open the trade, and did not conceive that if Parlia ment chose to throw it open, the Company had any claim to compensation on account of any buildings they might have erected, or any sub-monopolies that they might have created in London. He disapproved of the Resolutions altogether, and when the amend. tnent was disposed of, he intended to vote against them. Mr. B. BATHURST spoke in favour of the term of twenty years : but the question being loudly and ygenerally called for, a division took place—For Mr. Nsonty's Amendment 61—Ag ainst it 137, A second division was then had on tho original question, when the numbers were—Ayes 1841..N0es Fl. When the gallery door was opened, after the second division, Mr. MARRYAT was arguing in favour of the term of ten years in preference to twenty, according ;o Mr. Canning's Amendment on the Monopoly of the China Trade. 4 division then took place on Mr. CANNINp's amendment as to the continuance of the monopoly pf she China Trade—Ayes, 57—Noes, 130, The further consideration of the report was ordered to be continued this day.—Adjourned. • THE EVENING STAR LONDON.

Pulletin on the subject of the intelligence from Lord WELLINGTON, referred to in the subsequent columns : WAR DEPARTMENT. 66 DAWNING-STREET, JUNE 15, 1813. 4 g Dispatches have bc.:n received from L.rd WEL• XINGTON, dated Carvajales, 51st May. 66 The troops which had begun their march upon eae 22d, under his Lordship's immediate command, arrived at Salamanca on the 26th. A division- of French infantry, with some cavalry and artillery, un der General VALLATTE, evacuated this City upon the approach of the British, but two brigades of out•'ca valry under Generals FANE and ALIEN, having forded the Tormes, came up with their rear-guard, killed many, and took about 200 Dragoons, together with much baggage, ammunition, &c. &c. ig Lord WELLINGTON then left the right of his Army under Sir R. HILL, and joined the left column which had marched under the command of Sir Tuo. arcs GRAHAM to Carvajales. These forces crossed the Esla upon the 31st, and the Hussar Brigade rude an Officer and 30 Men Prisoners. •, The French evacuated Zamora and retreated upon Toro. 46 The Gallia= Troops form the left column of the Allied Army, and are marching upon Rio Seco. 44 Private Letters state, that the French have eva. cuated Toro, and that Lord WELLINGTON was in that Win) upon the 2d instant." A most interesting, and, we may add, a most sa tisfactory conversation took place in both Houses of Parliament, last night, on the subject of the Treaty with Sweden. The pl.( babiliti still increases that the renewed ne geciations with Denmark will, terminate amicably. It is now said that Ministerg are willing to restore the Islands (..f St. Thomas and St. Croix, upon Den mark undertaking to exclude all the aimed vessels f nations ;t war e ith Great Britain. Mr. T4ORNTON and General Hoeg are understood to be at Copenha gen on this important business. Notwithstanding the ambiguous manner in which BoNAPAßTEgiuniops the Armistice in the French Pa. pers, it is evident that neLociations for this purpose have been continued for some time. That they have not terminated to his satisfaction, however, may be fairly inferred, flora his professing to be ignorant of the 'precise !cud', which must have been imparted to hiro instantly upon their being ended. He 4.. Coln wiled to admit, thac the principles of an Armistice L ware agrefrd opal, but the lints of demarkation we \pti4 unsettlt d. rel ANOTHER BATTLE IN CANADA. Another Battle has been fought in Canada, which, if we ate to credit the American statements, termi. nated in favour of the enemy. The loss of the Ame ricans, however, has been severe, almost beyond belief. On the 28th of April, at day-break, General Dzaaw i l BORN, with 5000 men under his command, after cross ing Luke Ontario in flat-bottomed boats, landed at the British fort of Little York. They were supported by Commodore Cuausczy, with ten or twelve gun vessels on the lake, .which kept up an incessant fire; and after a severe struggle the fort was carried by the Americans. A considerable number of the Cana dian Militia and Indians were made prisoners; but the regular British force, under General SWAM, retreat:xi in good order towards Kingston. The American Brigadier-General Pm, and 200 men, were killed by the blowing up of a powder ma gazine; and we are sorry to add, that .50 British ar tillery-men (a most valuable description of soldiers) also perished by the explosion. The accounts of the above event were brought to Greenock, in twenty-five days, by the Jubilee, Moa. BISON, from Halifax, which place she left on the 15th ult. We have also received by the same vessel, Pa. pers from New York of the Bth, and from Washington of the 2d of May. The following are extracts " HALIFAX, MAY 14, gt We have been favoured with Boston Papers, just received by the Martha cartel, five days from thence, to the Bth inst. and much do we lament the intelli gence contained in the following brief extract :" " ALBANY, MAY 6. " Mancheser, Niagara Camay. Aptil 9es a On Tuesday, April 26, at sunrise, Commodore Chauncey, with ten or twelve vessels of war, appeared before York, with General Dearborn, and about 5000 men. The infantry, under Brigadier General Pyke; landed and attacked the town and batteries in the rear ; while the squadron attacked them by water...-. At two P. M. they carried the works, taking a great number of Militia and Indians (of which there was about 1000 in the fort) prisoners. " General Pyke, and about 200 men, were killed by the blowing up of a magazine in one of the bat• teries, in which a train of gunpowder was left for the purpose. About fifty British Artillerists shared the same fate. Indeed the loss has been great on both sides.—A great quantity of ammunition and stores fell into our hands."

Some of the boats of the squadron in the Chesapeake landed, on the Sd instant, at a small town called Havre de Grace, from which the Americans were soon compelled to retire, and a part of the town was destroyed. ,4 The Rattler sloop of war is said to have taken and destroyed two or three privateers. 44 The Crown privateer, of this port, is said to be taken.—The Orpheus chased the American ship Wharnpoa from L'Orient, on shore near Newport, R.

We are sorry to hear, that in this affair Lieutenant Collins was mortally wounded." iv FURTHER PARTICULARS. " HALIFAX. MAY 14. 66 The following very unpleasant intelligence is extracted from an Albany Paper, received here yes terday : 4 ! Manchester (Niagara County), April 25. 44 Six o'Clock P. M. " DEAR SIR-I have just returned from Fort Nia gara, where I saw a Captain of the United States navy. He is just from Little York, the capital of Upper Canada, and gives the following account s which is confirmed by official dispatches from Gene ral Dearborn to GcnQral Lewis, now here: 4 , Tuesday, the •16th April, at sunrise, Commo dore Chauncey, with a squadron of ten or twelve vessels, appeared before York, with Gen. Dearborn and near 5000 men. The infantry under Brigadier. General Pike landed, attacked the town and batteries in the rear, while the squadron attacked them by water. At two p. m. they carried the place, taking a great number of militia and Indians prisoners, one thousand Indians being engaged. General Sheaffe, with a few regular troops, made their escape. General Pike, with about 200 men, were killed by the blowing up of a magazine in one of the batteries, and in which they had a train of powder, for the purpose. About fifty of the British artillerists : l were killed by the same explosion. The loss on both side; is considerable. Our army is now in possession of the Lawn, and is expected here shortly. Our troops behaved with the greatest gallantry. Immense (man tides of military stores and Indian goods were taken at York, which seem to have been the depot for these articles. The vessels of the squadron are not suffi cient to bring them away. !‘ Although enerat Porter doe' tot mention the, :Akins any British vero.cl4 yet wf; are well informed • that a considerable portion of the enemy's Lake Navy was lying at York, and the other part at Kingston. It is, therefore, highly probable, that our gallant tars have destroyed or obtained possession of a sufficient number of the enemy's ships, to enable our navy to chase the residue from the Lake." N WASHINGTON, MAY 1. " By letters received yesterday from 4nnapolis, we learn, that aboq'. 130 or 140 prisoners were on that day landed from the fleet in the 134 y, in conse quence of an arrangement for their exchange s about the same number were expected to be landed yester day. It was observed, that after delivering up the prisoners, the British squadron would proceed up the Bay. They bad not attempted to approach An napolis." BALTIMORE, MAY 2. 66 The British made an attack yesterday, and after being repulsed twice at French Town, succeeded in taking possession of a small fortification there—they burnt all the warehouses at that place, with a consi. derable quantity of goods. They then landed at White Hall, and marched over opposite the battery, and after receiving two or three shots, retired and embarked immediately. Thirteen barges are coming up full of men—we are all under arms here, and ex pect another attack hourly." " NEW YORK, MAY .s. 48 The Notional Intel[isomer contradicts the report of General Harrison being cut off. The same paper says, there was a report on board the British fleet, that we hope is not true, though we see much reason to fear it is, that our frigate Essex has been taken by a 74 gun ship, and carried into Antigua." The American Government having demanded that British. subjects, naturalized in America, and taken on board their public or private vessels, should be re gularly exchanged at American citizens, Admiral Wanass is said to have given a peremptory refusal to this proposition : and on the 10th ult. the Ameri can Agent resident in London received Official in formation from Government that no Cartels would be permitted to sail for the United States until further orders ; and one Cartel, on the point of sailing, was actually stopped. Accounts from New York state, Mr. Secretary GALLAIIN had taken leave of the Presi dent, preparatory to his sailing for Russia. By the system of Blockage adopted on the Ame rican coast, by which Boston and some other Fede ralist harbours are in a great measure exempted from the calamities of the war, we are sorry to find that great facilities are afforded to the egress and ingress of the American frigates. We cannot help being somewhat alarmed at the subjoined intel:igence : The following is an extract of a letter from Hali fax, dated May 15: , s The American frigates President and Congress sailed- from Boston the Ist instant, and were spoken with on the 9th, in lat. 41 N. long. 61 W. It is con jectured that they were steering for the Gulf of St. Lawrence.—The Armide frigate arrived here yester day, in 28 days from Cork : she parted from the transports bound to Quebec with the 47th Regiment and 19th Dragoons on board, under convoy of the Sybille frigate and Cygnet sloop, on the 9th instant, off Cape Race." Mr. RUSSELL, late American Charge d'Affaires at the Court of Great Britain, is appointed Ambassador to Sweden, and has sailed with Mr. GALLATIN. CORUNNA PAPERS. We have received Corunna Papers to the Bth inst. from which we give the following details of the move ments of the Allied Armies : " CORUNNA, JUNE 7, (9 orlock, P.M.) . 44 The Post from Castilie has just arrived; it brings accounts that our troops are advancing. We have not yet heard of the French having abandoned Val ladolid." MI4TIAOO. JUNE 4. et All the troops have gone out from Ciudad Ro• drigo. On the 25th they were preparing to enter Salamanca (and in fact it is asserted that they did enter on the 26th.) General Hill was to fall on Ma drugal and Medina almost at the same time. Gene, ral Penne was with the cavalry in Villar de Ciervos, and the letters from Alcanices suppose that scme English troops had an engagement at Zamora, under the command of General Graham, who will collect there a consideralle army, which some snake to amount to 40,000 mep• _ " The same accounts add, that all the troops have left Senabria except one battalion, which will imme. diately take the same road. Their direction appears to be to the Paneza to join the army under General Giron, who, on the 29th ult. made 4. general move. ment in order promptly to take a position on the bank of the Orbigo, where the adyanced guards have already arrived, " In Leon are the Generals Salazar and Monso, with 800 infantry and 700 cavalry. 44 In Mayorgo, Castro, Gonzalo, and Valderas, are the enemy and with respectable forces to observe .our troops. All appearances and advice shew that the movement of the latter is rapid, uniform, and well combined• 0 Lord Wellington was, on the 24th, at St. Munoz, and General Castanos, on the 29th, at.Martil del Rio. *he Teports that have been circulated that the armies have already engaged, and that our troops have possessed themselves of Salamanca and Zamora, are not improbable... The horfcrs of Castro Vrdiides arc confirmed." LISBON PAPERS AND LETTERS. We have received printed Journals and Lisbon Letters to the Bth, which furnish some interesting details in addition to the partiralars brought by the Coruna idall. One important letter, which ought to have reached us by the last Mail, presents so many minutia respecting the opening of the campaign th at we shall give a condensed abstract of its contents, though UMW of the particulars which It embracet have already been partially stated. Then letter is clued the 244 h and 23th May, and comatencos br announcing the march of the whole Army, ati.er which it gives a detailed account of the Divisions v.. ‘i Sir T. GMUAN has proceeded with the greater part of the cavalry..the Ist, 3d, 4th, sth, 6th, and 7th divisions have crossed the Douro, and are on the march to Gallicia. Lord Wu -micro'', with the light division, Sir ROWLAND litu.'s and CASTANO I S army, have taken the high Salamanca road. His Lordship has with him the 14th Dragoons, and the fine regi melts of German Hussars, the let and 2d. II Sir Itowt.Awn Hat would be at Tormanos on the 22d, and by the 26th General Ca*Raris, with the battering-train, would be before Zamora. In the mean time Sir Jotor MURRAY, with the gallant army of . Alicant, would find sufficient employment for S u . crier, and the French army of the South. Never was an army in finer order, or better equipped, than that with which tbe Marquis opens the present campaign k for the first time he has the entire command of a Spa. nish army. 44 The confidence of the country in the MAEGLIt is now unbounded. He has immediately under him 91,000 British in the field, 36,000 very fine Portu guese troops, and 55,000 Spanish troops, in the most complete order, and perfectly at his devotion. Be.' sides this, Sir JOHN . MURRAY has now about 31,000.. The whole of the British from Carthagena have joined him, and . General COOKE has sent some regiments from Cadiz. It is said not to be Lord Wra.xixc. TON'S intention . to stop at Burgos this year, but to push on to the Ebro at once, leaving part of CL;. TANGS'S army to mask Burgos." The above extract will make some of the subjoined articles from the Lisbon Papers more intelligible to our Readers than they would otherwise have been 44 LISBON, JUNE 7. " Lord Wellington remained two days at Sala. manca, then went 20 leagues in two days, and on the Slst reached Cariagalis, near Zamora. The army immediately began to cross the Esla on pontoons ; the Esla is a deep and rapid river at this season. Forty French cavalry were taken crossing. " On the Ist of June Lord Wellington entered Za. mora ; and at 4 P. M. on the 2d, Toro, where Head. quarters were to remain till the Sd, and then to ad, vance upon Valladolid, where the enemy's principal force is said to be. General Hill mi. also marching upon Torn, and some Spanish divisions were moving on Madrid and Toledo, in both of which places the French had some troops so late as the 24th of May. " It would appear that the French are not aware of the great body of our army being Northward of the Douro. Lord Wellington's rapid :amounts have deceived them."
