DUTCH PAPERS. PARIS, MARCH 8. +he Minister at War has received a report from the Marshal Duke of Castiglione, dated Gerona, 23d February, whereby it appears, that on the 20th a bat tle was fought in the plain of Vich, where our troops, commanded by General Souham, were attacked by the Spanish Catalonian army, under the orders of its newly-appointed chief, General O'Donnell. The In surgents made their attack with great fury, but were repulsed at all points, in which General Souiram was badly, but not mortally wounded in the head ; that the enemy lost 6,300 men in killed and wounded, fled with the utmost prec ipi tation, and retreated to the walls of Tarragona. O'Donnell's intention was to destroy the division of General Souham, to blockade Ostalric, and to intercept the communicatirn of our troops with France. Our loss amounted in the whole to 1.50 killed, and 227 wounded, among whom are seven Officers. VIENNA, FEBRUARY C 4.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 16. Counsel were heard in the Appeal Masterton v. Micklejohn. A further hearing on Monday nest. The Mast Importatinn Bill, the Sugar Bounty Bill, and some 'Miter Bills were brought up from the Commons, by Mr. Lush ington and other Members, and read a first time. In the appeal Spence Auchie and others, on the motion of the I.9itta Cnasest.tos, the judgment was reversed, with a special finding, and the Cause remitted back to the Court of &Mon. Lord HARDWYCKE moved fir further papers respecting the price of corn and grain.—Ordered. FOREIGN TROOPS. Lord KING, pursuant to the notice which he gave yesterday, rose to move for a return of the number of foreign troops now in the pay of Great Britain, — The introduction of foreign troops into•this country ' had of late years principally taken place during the present and the late war. They were introduced un der a variety of pretexts. Some were supposed to be only on their passage to another destination, but once having set foot no British ground, they continued to remain here. From the estimates now before the other House of Parliament, it appeared that their number had considerably increased, and that nearly a million of money was proposed to be voted for their maintainance. This was a material addition to the burdens under which the country had already togroan. Indeed the introduction of foreign troops was a grow ing and already a great evil. In better tithes it was, and still ought to he, considered a most unconstitu tional measure. Vie could not better express himself on this point, than by adopting the language of an Address to the King, by a Speaker of the House of Commons (Sir F. Norton). The introduction of to reiga troops was considered by him as highly uncon stitutional, and wholly unknown in the better periods of our history. Not only was it unconstitutional, but it was extremely injudicious and prejudicial to the claims and merits of British troops. It should there- fore, in his opinion, be resisted in //ming as an encroach. ment on the rights and liberties of Englishmen, and as such he shOuld feel it his duty to submit a motion to their Lordships on that head. Could it be reflect cd on without feelings of pain and mortification that foreign mercenaries should have a preference over our own countrymen ? Yet such was the case with re.: I , spect to these foreign levies. Their services were on much less extensive scale than that of British troops. They enlisted under certain conditions as to the coup-' tries where they were to serve, and notwithstanding this limitation of the extent. of their services, they re ceived equ tl pay and were ()vas full an establishment as British troops. Was not that a circumstance ex tremely mortifying to the feelings of British soldiers ? But the matter involved considerations of a more se rious moment. Bonaparte, the mortal enemy of this country, was now master of the countries to which most of these troops belonged. Would they transfer their affection and allegiance from their native soil toJ a Sovereign who was at war with their native country? Would they absorb and lose all their early and na tural affections to a cold sense of duty ? Where would they be employed ? What place of importance would you entrust to their hands ? Sorry, indeed, should he I be to see Ireland, for example, or Gibraltar, or any of our valuable possessirms, placed under their pro tection. Look to the time of King William, And see what the country thought, and how it felt with respect to his Dutch Guards. The thing should not be over looked. The evil should be checked in &tine before we might have to lament its consequence. It should not be forgotten what effects were produced on the Roman ATIlli:!0, by the iintoduction of a foreign rab ble into their ranks by Matins. Ile thought the pre cedent should be earnestly deprecated, and if his pre sent motion was acceded to, he should ground upon it others that would have for their object to discoun tenance such a practice. It was a gross violation of the Constitution ; and it moreover was :tn injury and an insult to the feelings and the interests of British t lop. The Noble Lord concluded by moving for a return of the number of Foreign troops in British pay, and of the district•. where they were employed. The Earl rf LIVERPOOL said he had no objec tirn to granting the infortnatipn moved for by the N•tble Lord ; and as he had no objection to the Noble Lord's motion, he thought it unnecessary to make any observation on the arguments that had been offer ea in its support. t I S I t C MUTINY BILL. The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the Mu tiny Bill. The Duke of NORFOLK found fault with the new clause which enacted that Recruits should be billetted on publicans.— The Bill was an annual one, but of late years there was an annual addition of new clauses to the Bill, which Parliament was not prepared to expect. This clause imposed a new burthen on the publicans, who were already but too heavily burthened. He thought it quite improper to make such innovations in the Bill, especially when it was to expire in nine or ten days, and therefore might be subject to much opposition. The Earl of LIVERPOOL denied that any new clause of any importance was introduced into the Bill, and that it imposed no additional burthen on Innkeepers who had already been indem nified for any additional expence to which they might be exposed. After a few words ftom the Duke of NORFOLK, the clause was agreed to, and the Bill reported without any ameudment. cnarge of reluctance in giving I said to be wanted.

He had no objection to giving the ac count of 1808 ; but this unneec.sary call for accounts disturbed the business of the offices in a very serious degree. There was a Board of Commissioners now sitting, from whose labours the most valuable results might be expected ; yet, it even required, to supply the accounts for that Board, the incessant labour of a number of the Clerks in the office from wEich the demand of the Hon. Mover must be answered. Mr. PARNELL explained, and after a few words, relative to modifying his original motion, moved, that the accounts of the sums voted in 1808, be laid upon the table, specifying the sums and services to which they were severally applied. The House di vided, and strangers were ordered to withdraw. A division then took place—For the Motion 16— Against it 57 —Ma jority 41. CAMPAIGN IN PORTUGAL AND SPAIN. On re-entering the Gallery, we found Mr. WAR.

COOPER accounted for the delay, but could not precisely state when they would be pro duced. W. SHERIDAN gave notice that he would on Friday submit a motion to the House on the conduct of Ministers with respect to the war in Spain and [ Portugal. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought, that as all the papers relating to that war might be necessary, the period he had named was pri mature,as it did not afford time for their production. Mr. SHERIDAN replied, as his motion would be for a direct censure on Ministers, the papers already before them were sufficient, and if more were produ ced, he would not trouble himself to read them.— (if laugh). LcilEn EN INQUIRY. Mr TIERNEY, in the absence of a Noble Friend 'Lord Pr hr the towers and lines would be of no use to the country, and contended that the expence upon them was quite useless.

Imp. 07, 1 A Cont. air Ar.ril 611 M 69 Yesterday afternoon and this morning many people Pwore duped by.a report, most industriously eine lated, that. a Flag of Truce had brought over M. Duane, Marshal of France, b e lieved to be the bearer of overtures of Peace, or, at any rate, of a proposi tion for opening a negociation to accomplish, if pos sible, that desirable object. This report had the effect to raise the Funds from Ito 1 # per cent. But we cannot learn that DUROC, or any person of rank, has arrived from France. It is true that a boat belonging to the CHEROKEE sloop of war reached Dover at nine o'clock on Thursday ' night, and landed dispatches, which the CHERoxi;E :had tece,ived from a Flag of Truce on her passage from Boulogne. They were immediately forwarded to town by express, and arrived yesterday ; but we cannot conceive them to be of any particular im portance, since they were not addressed to any of His Majesty's - Ministers, but to the Thins/sort Board! The Flag of Trace came in afterwards with the CIIEROKE4 and was lying at Dover yesterday evea• ing, when our letters came away. We do not mean, 'however, to assert, that it is not possible these dispatches may contain some indirect proposition which eventually may lead to some kind of negociation ; but they relate principally to an ex change of medical prisoners. ' Last night we received Dutch papers to the 14th instant, containing a brief notice of a battle in Catalo nia, in which General Somata was severely wounded, but ultimately defeated the Spaniards. The French are proceeding with nuabated activity in forming a large army on the Elbe,' the ultimate destination of which is not.yet ascertained. These papers also contain farther accounts of the preparations for the celebration of the Imperial Mar riage, but nothing , else deserving of notice. The following shiys will compose the next (fourth ) fleet for the East Indies, viz. the David Scott, for Madras and China ; the Preston, Flex nix, Sovereig n, Diana, Indus, Sir William Beesley, and An n, for Madras and Bengal.
