A of rroPrietors, that the third reading of the Bill would be postponed until they had decided whether or not they would accept the Charter on the terms proposed. This hi ought on a conversation between Lord CAST. LEREAGH, Mr. C. GRANT, Mr. G. SMITH, Mr. BRAGGE BATHURST, and Mr. TIERNEY, the latter of whom moved that the third reading should, take place on Monday. which was negatived by a majo rity of 38. On our return to the Gallery, Sir HENRY MONT GOMERY was entering into a detail of the hardships and privatious to which the Officers of the Indian army were subject; and proposed A clause, the pur port of which was, to empower the Court of Direc tors to employ Military Officers in the Company's service of fifteen years standing in the Civil depart ment, which ; after a long conversation between se veral Members, he withdrew, and p r opo se d i n i ts stead ; that the Military Officers in the Company's service should be eligible to the office of Diplomatic Agent at the Courts of the Native Princes. This 'clause was negatived. The Amendmehts in the body of the Bill were then gone through, and several verbal alterations proposed by different Members, particularly the appropriation elausel.:=—Agreed to- Lord TLEREAGH said, he wished to pro. iitse, some Aeration in that clause which related to the Tntroductioil.of a Chaplain of the Church of Scot land into each of t he Presidencies. He would pro pose to throw out die clause fur the,putpose of fulfil lhig all its intentions by other means, namely, that the bisectors would be conferred with concerning the admission of the Scotish Chaplains, and arrangements tvould be made to that effect, so that the Members kir the Church of Scotland would have an opportunity of attending Presbyterian places of Worship. After a few observations f r om M r . W. EITSEDAS, Mr. ABERCROMBIE, Mr. R. THORNTON, Mr. SULU. VAN, Nr. R. Surru, Mr. GRANT, and Mr. VANSIT TART, the claUse was ordered to be omitted. Various other Verbal amendments were proposed an d agreed to; after which; Lord CASTLEREAGH moved, that the Bi.l should pass, Which was agreed to, and ordered to the Lords. Lord CASTLEREAGH gave notice that, to-morrow, ow t he would move, that at its rising, the House should adjourn to some day early in the next week. Adjourned at Twelve O'clock. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, JULY S. Her Majesty the Empress Queen and Regent has received the following intelligence from the army.:— ~ Cot►nt de Metternich, Minster of State and of Conferences to his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, has arrived at Dresden, and already had several con- ferences with the Duke of Bassani). " Russia has just obtained from the King of Prussia, that Russian paper should have a forced circulation in the Prussian States, and as the Prussian paper is already at a discount of 70 per cent. this ordinance does not appear calculated to raise the credit of Prussia. •" The city of Berlin is tormented in every possible manner, and every day those vexations are more felt in it. This 'capital already compares its situation to that of several towns in France in 1793. 66 His Majesty the Emperor, on the ::Bth, made an excursion t e r tight or ten hours length in the environs of Dresden. 4 , We have received accounts from Zamoae and tlodhn. Those fortresses are in the best condition, whether considered in respect to provisions, warlike stcres, or fortifications.—( Aloniteur, July 6.) JULY 7.—The policy of the English towards Den- Mark was one of the most striking historical monu tnents of the perfidy and immorality of their Govern- Meat ; but their conduct towards the Bourbons of Sicily is in no manner inferior to that celebrated example. The King and Queen of Sicily have lost their kingdom, in consequence of their hatred to France and their absolute devotion to English policy. During the expedition of Malta and of Egypt the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily - were as English pos. Sessions, in regard to France. • In 1805, when peace had been concluded at Vienna, King Ferdinand made a treaty with the English, and received them at Naples, which drew upon him on the part of France a declaration of war, and gave rise to the conquest of Naples. Retired since that epoch into Says that Court has not been less constantly devoted to England. As a recompence for twenty years attachment and submission, the King and Queen have been arrested ; the Queen has been embarked, sent from Sicily, and arrived at Constantinople, where she has been allowed to land. The King, despoiled, degraded, shut up in a castle, has seen his most intimate friends arrested and thrown into prisons. In short, the conduct of the English in Sicily has been quite similar to that which they have observed in India. Certainly we are not paid in France for deploring the misfortunes and the catastrophe of the house of Sicily ; nevertheless so much ingratitude and so much perfidy on the part of England towards Princes who Piave been ruined for her, and who during 20 years lave given so many proofs of devotion and attach nent, fills the heart with indignation. They say that the Queen, having arrived at Con stantinople, obtained, from the Grand Seignior, per- Itission to disembark and proceed by land to Hun gary, a painful journey in a country where the roads were not passable for any kind of carriage and which 'resent to the traveller difficulties of every descrip :.on. —Moniker, July 8. he has had an interview with out Sovereign. It ap pears that the King of Prussia has been for some days at Opotschna. His Majesty the Emperor of Austria has fixed his residence at Kosmanos ; furniture has been sent there from Prague. Several of the first Functionaries of State, and among others, the Chancellor Count - La zanske, have been called from Vienna to his Majesty. Count de Metternich has ordered from Vienna all his plate, which leads us to presume that the Austrian Court will make a stay in Bohemia. The Emperor of Russia has left the Castle of Opotschna, to return by Glatz and Reichenbach to the Castle of Peterswaldau. The Emperor of Rus sia remained at Opotschna four days. He was ac companied by his Secretary of State, Count Nesse horde ; the Grand Marshal of the Court, Count Tol stoy ; General Arakesheiff ; Adjutant-General Count d'Ozazowsky, and several Officers of the Staff. The Emperor of Austria only passed some days at the C.lstie of Kosmonos ; it is more than eight days since he returned to Gitschen. AU the Bureaux in the suite of his Majesty are in fall activity. The c.om municationi between Gitschen, Dresden, and Rei chenbach, are very frequent. STRASPURG, JULY S. The passage of troops proceeding to Mayence has been very Considerable during the last week. We successively saw pasi battalions of the 2d, llth, sth, 16th. 24th, 67th, 79th; 81st, 93d, and 105th Regi ments of the line ; of the 7th and 18th light infantry, and strong detachments , from the 7th and 10th in fantry, of the 153.1 and 154.h.0f the like, of the 6th, Bth, and 16th knonnted chasseurs, of the 6th light horse, and of the 11th battalion of the train of artil lery —all those corps are it their full complement, and are animated by the best spirit. DRESDEN, JUNE 24. All the wounded who were in a condition to be re r•oved have been sent in the rear. The most etEca rifr:s measures have been taken to provide for the inty:istence of so many thousands of men and horses. Protisions arrive from the most distant parts of Ger many, and even from France. A transport of 18,000 vintals of meal has just arrived from Wiemar. We expect grain and forage from Bohemia, now that the navigation of the Elbe is again free. PRAGUE, JUNE sto. Among the individuals arrived at Prague, a great many couriers come from Vienna, Schweiclnitz, Opotschaa, and Dresden, as also Many Russian and Prussian officers. The Emperor Alexander, alter having passed 12 days at Opotschna, has returned into Silesia. This Monarch visited, ea passant, the fortress of Joseph stadt, near Jakonterz.

Omnium experienced a depression of # per cent. t►is morning, without any other apparent cau s e than the great scarcity of money. French Papers to the 9th inst. have arrived. On the subject of Spain they are silent, and even Bin. TDIER'S death, of which we cannot have the least doubt, is not mentioned. BONAPARTE waits, perhaps, until he finds a successor 'ere he informs the Pai isians of his loss. We are not so much surprised at the affairs of Spain being covered with the veil of secrecy —Surely the Battle of Vittoria was no topic for exul tation, nor are, we disposed to regard the re-embarka tion of Sir JOHN MURRAY, at Tarragona, as affording auy scope for the usual rhodomontade of the Moni. lair. Indeed its silence on the latter subject is, we think, the best proof that SUCHETI6 triumph in that quarter was not of long duration. Count MtrrEmeicir and the Duke of BASSANO have daily conferences at Dresden ; but amid these pacific overtures, the " note of preparation for war" is studi ously kept up. The Sovereign of Prussia and his subjects (at least those who are loyal) are vilified and degraded. The Emperor of Russia is not so pointedly alluded to, it is true ; and from this circum stance, trifling as it is, we may infer that BONAPARTE would be glad to see the Cossacks once more remo ved to their own frightful climate, and Prussia left to her fate. Her fortresses are already in his hands, and if he could detach the heroic ALEXANDER from his alliance, Prussia would probably disappear from the wap of Europe. Reinforcements are rapidly coming tip to join the French troops from all quarters in their rear. The French Papers, in addition to the articles to which we have just alluded, contain one which blames England, for the fiftieth time, for her interference in the affairs of Sicily. It is too in. significant to merit notice.AUGEREAU • the scourge of Spain, Holland, Italy, Germany, and of the hu-' man race, addresses his troops in a proclamation, in', which he tells them “ not to sully the fine character of a Frenchman by pillage and devastation I" How altered this man is since he became Duke of CAS.. tigliOtle 1 But we forget ourselves--“ the Devil can quote Scripture for his purpose l" Just such another lecture upon mercy, truth, and justice, did the wolf deliver to the lamb before devouring it 1 Altona and Hamburgh Papers to the Sd instant arrived last night. They describe the fortifications of Hamburgh as proceeding with the utmost vigour, and as promising to render that City an almost im pregnable fortress.. Looking to the resolute pertina city with which the French Ruler thus retains pos session of Hamburgh, we cannot help lamenting that the course of events did not leave Hamburgh in possession of the Allies at the conclusion of the Armistice. Another murder has been committed byDAvourr, the Imperial Executioner, appointed to 46 punish the seditious," in the S2d military division. A Dr. LAMM of Damme, in the department of the Upper Ems, was put to death on the SOth ult. for 4 , having insulted the Gendarmerie while on duty, and refusing to obey the orders issued to him by the Officer com manding." Would to HEAVEN that the Monster would publish to the world a more detailed account of the crimes of these Patriots !—We hope the day of retribution is at hand. In a Second Edition yesterday wtgave the Bulletin issued by Government, on the subject of Sir Josue MURRAY'S operations on the coast of Catalonia, and we apprehend that Stu rational being can be dissatis fied with the expedition, so far as we have been made' , acquainted witk its movements. The operations of the Alicant Army were delineated by the gallant Marquis WELLINGTON himself, and we have no doubt that Sir JOHN MLRRAY has acted " to the letter" of his instructions. If he kept SLCHET occupied at Tar,, ragona and its vicinity, and prevented his passing up the Ebro to unite with the other Trench armies in Spain, which are now hcrs de combat, in consequence of their isolated Positions, we consider his achievement as highly advantageous to the general interests of the campaign. Now Sucurr was actually proceeding towards Sa. ragcssa when he heard of Sir Jon Mote RAY'S land ing. He immediately returned, and, collecting all the forces he could, he threatened the Allies with a force, which it would have been madness to have withstood. When Scaler left Valencia, his army consisted of 24,000 men : to these were subsequently added, the garrison of Tarragona and some flyini t divisions, making the whole amount to not less than 30,000 men. Sir JOHN MunetAl's army did not ex ceed 18,000 men, and of these only four regiments were British-the 10th, 27th, 58th, and 81st : the rest are Germans, Sicilians, and Spaniards. The next Mail from the Mediterranean we have no doubt will inform us that Sir JOHN Mutuotv has taken up another and perhaps more formidable position, of which there are many on the Coast.of Catalonia. . ; IVe cannot dismiss this subject without noticing as worthy of reprehensicn, the whining tone of despon- dency which pervades the columns of our contem porary Journalists, upon the most trifling disappoint ment to their unreasonable hopes. Already has this trifling affair of Sir Jolts; Murt- RAY'S re-embarkation been likened to the business of Fer s rol and Buenos Ayres. Sure we are, if these ca villers knew the extent of the mischief they effect by their unmeasured notes of sorrow and dismay, they would pause ere they gave them currency. It is but a few hours since we had the mortification to see the columns of some recent Moniteurs, nay, and of vari ous other French Journals, filled with articles which those foreigners, who are ignorant of the glorious privileges of our Constitution, would condemn any Government as imbecile for tolerating. We al lude to the miserable drivelling lamentations which issued from the press on the capture of the Macedo nian, the Java, and even on the result of the recent naval action on the coast of Africa between a French and an English frigate. The following is the Official Bulletin, issued yes terday afternoon, on the subject Sir JOHN Mtinaav's expedition : " WAR DEPARTMENT, JULY 13. " By letters which have been received at this Office, it is known that the Allied troops, commanded by SirJortN MURRAY, which had embarked at Alicant on the last days of May, were landed on the 3d of June, near Salon, and immediately invested Tarragona. '• I.itutenant Colonel Pa aVOST had been previously detar,td with the second battalion of the 67th and a pan of Roll's and Dillon's Regiments, to attack the Fort of St. Philip. upon the Col de Balaguer. lie was joined there by a brigade from the Catalan Array. Captain Apnea commanded the squadron sent to co operate with Colonel PREVOST ; and the great exertion of the, troops and seamen employed upon this service under the direc don of very able Officers, overcame the difficulties presented by the situation of the Fort, and obliged the garrison to surrender en the morning of the 7th. Lieutenant DtLATTR I, of Dillon's Rigiment and one Spanish Officer, were killed, as were six sol diets, and 31 were wounded. " In the mean time, Sir Joao Multaav had commenced the siege of Tarragona ; but having intelligence upon the I ith that a strong body of French troops had advanced from the side of Barcelona towards Villa Franca and Vendrill, and likewise that Marshal Svc 'err was upon his march from Valencia, Sir Joins MURRAY resolved to retie the siege, and the troops were embar ked immediati ly, without any loss of men, but they were obliged to leave in the advancedbatterles some piects of heavy ordnance, of which the carriages were burned.", COPENHAGEN, JUNE 15. All the Cavalry which are in the islands of Zea land and Fuhnen are to assemble next week to per. forth great mancrivres in the neighbourhood of this capital.—M. de Lesakewelsch, Russian Minister, and Count Dohna, Minister from Russia, are still here. Changes in the Ministry are 'spoken of, but pro- bably without foundation. Admiral Deckum has returned here, with all our seamen who served in the French fleet at Flushiu. Itles 22.—The gracious reception which the Em peror gave M. de lass, has produced a very agree able sensation here. According to what is repotted his Majesty expressed himself in terms the most flattering to Denmark. Jove 25.—Several of our Countrymen have been sent from Sweden. AUGSBURG. JUNE 27. All the troops stationed here for some time have put themselves in motion. There are among those troops many Italians and Neapolitans. The Italian reserve park of artillery, cantoned here for three months, has just set out for Bareuth ; 1060 horses are employed in transporting it. MILAN, JUNE 30. The departure of his Royal Highness it announced as being very near. A part of his carriages has already Set OIIC for Verona. FRANKFORT, JULY L " Camp near Wurtzburg, July 1. " SOLDIER, I—Our Emperor has just given me a fresh proof of his confidence by placing under my orders the division* which compose the Bavarian Army of Obeervaion. " All the troops who join this army are better soldiers than those who immortalized themselves in the fields of l.utzen and Wurtchen, and who in so short a time knew hew to confound the fallacious hopes of our enemies. " Soldiers! you have already merited eulogiums from the Emperor in the battles of Ulm, Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland, Wagraru, and in the campaigns ill Spain I hope you will be worthy of the reputation you have acquired. " Soldiersl rememb-r the laurels r i h which your eagles are crowned. You have astonished the universe by your valour— makeyourselves the adm•ration ait by your discipline. Never sully the fine title of Frenchmen by pillage and devasta.ion. You will always End in me a Chief equally just as severe—many of you ar- rot ignorant of this. " Respect religion, persons, property ; love the Sovereign and the country and victory will crown our fforts. (Signed) " Avon' aim, Duke of Castiglione, Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Obseivation in Bavaria JULY 2..;—The passage of troops does not cease ; the Bth and 28th regiments of lOrt infantry, the 27th and 60th of the line, yesterday arrived in our town. All these corps are destined for the Bavarian army. Independently of those troops, there daily pass strong marching columns and numerous convoys of artillery for the army in Saxony.

We state with concern, that all the British mann factutes and colonial produce in Leipsic has been se. questrated, and it is seri. usly apprehended, that the same expedient, for the purposes of extortion, wiil be adopted throughout the Rhenish Confederation. The Gottenburgh letters compute the force col. lected in Pomerania, under the CROWN PNINCIL. at 50,000 men, and they announce the arrival if 8000 more of the Russian German Legi , in in the neigh bourhood of Rastock, which are intended to co-ope rate under the orders of his Royal Highness.
