Mr.WELLESLEY POLE, SirJO HN ANST RU THE R, and Mr. WALLACE disapproved of the proceedings suggested by Mr. SHERIDAN; and Sir T.

It was then un derstood, that the previous question would be moved to each of the resolutions, except the last, censuriag Lord Wellesley, and upon that a direct negative.

As to the Right Honourable Gentleman's wish to postpone the present debate, he (Mr. W. P.) did not see why that Right Hon. Gentleman could' rot as well then, as at any other time, favotu the Bease with the eloquence he had been preparing upon the present subject these six years back ; but at all events he was prepared to meet the question, however retarded or embarrassed. The friends of the NOble Marquis were as ready as other Gentlemen to sit up night after night the whole summer, if necessary. His teal was founded more upon principle than any other feeling ; and if he thought his Noble Relative deserved me hail of what had been thrown out against him, he should he ashamed to shew his face, much less raise his voice in that House in his behalf. Mr. SHERIDAN regretted the Honourable Gen tleman had so totally misconceived him. He had never said that that Honotteable Gentleman, or any of his friends, were anxious to blink the question ;—but he had said the very reverse. He said too, what he would repeat, that moving the previous qugstion was Noble not the way to obtain for the Marquis the ho nourable and satisfactory investigations° much wished for by his friends.

As to the part he took in the present question, the Ho nourable Gentleman ktlew well that he could not be influenced by any other motive than a sense of public duty.

GOTTENBU RGH MAIL. A Mail arrived this day, bringing letters and papers from Stockholm to the 20th, and from Got tenburgh to the 24th ult. inclusive. Our armament was still at Gottenburgh when the Mail came away, and some of the accounts state that they would not proceed on service till the return of an Officer from England with fresh instructions.

His Royal Majesty received, the day before yester- - ,' day, two reports from General Baron Armfeldt, Commander Ch Chief of the Western Army, of the 9th and 10th of this month, by which it appears that the army occupied at that time its former position, and that the head quarters were still at Holmedal. MAY 18.—His Royal Majesty. has received. the fol lowing report from Lieutenant Kapsilman, of the 13th instant " Gun-boat No. 9, at anchor in the north port of Kooning, the Pith May, 1808. " Since my last report of the 7th inst. several, of the inhabitants of Oland and the parishes of Kokar, Cassell , and Kumling, joined me, about 450 in number. I concluded with the enemy an armistice for three days, on condition that no troops within that time should be withdrawn from Kumling, and that the inhabitants should be well treated. Having received intelligence that, nevertheless, five boats, with troops, had put off for Brindo, and that several houses had been plun dered, I considered the armistice as no longer binding, and immediately ordered Lieutenaut C. Cronstedt, who commanded the sloop No. 11, to endeavour to break the ice, with the assistance of tho armed inha bitants, in three large boats, and farce his way to the South part of the island, in order to prevent the enemy from crossing over to Brindo : I thereupon sent a flag of truce to the enemy, to represent to them their unwarrantable conduct, ordered my gun boat to be worked up as close as possible, and sent another flag of truce, summoning the enemy to surrender : This being refused, I landed on the 9th inst. some of the guns of my division, and began to cannonade the enemy. is The action continued till four o'clock in the af ternoon, when the enemy laid down their arms, and demanded quarter. I have taken prisoners, I Colonel, who commanded the corps, I Lieut. Colonel, 1 Major, 17 Officers, 37 Non-comtnissiOned Officers, 1 Phy sician, 3 Surgeons, 410 rank and file: a small maga zine, and seme military stores,have also fallen into my bands. (Signed) " G. J. VON KAPSkLMAN." Lieutenant Freis,who commands the 'cutter Rattka, reported to his Majesty, under date of the 11th inst. that haying set sail on the 10th from It appelhaven, he sailed along the coast of Gothland as far as Wisley, and saw several temporary barracks erected at a small distance from the coast, and some of the ene my's troops in green and red uniforms. Having opened a brisk grape-shot fire on the enemy, they were compelled to retreat to the town. • MAY' 20.-,-His Majesty: received, the 17th instant,' the following Report from Field-Marshal Count Klingspor, dated head-quarters, Brahestad, the 7th instant.;— " Since my last report, whereby I acquainted yew Majesty with the victories obtained by the gallant troops under m y command, I ordered Colonel Sandell to march with the brigade under his orders from Uleasalo to Frontzila, and from thence to Pulkila, to attack the enemy's troops who occupied that place, and render himself master of the convoy, which I knew was on its way from Cnopio to the Russian army. This attack was made with great spirit, and succeeded so well, that 2 officers, 12 non-commis sioned officers, 76 rank and file were made prisoner., and 370 waggons with provisions and military stores fell into oar hands, I have ordered Colonel Sandels to advance with strong detachments to Idensalptio and Cnopio, in order to render himself master of the considerable magazines which the Russians have for med in that neighbourh ood ; and I make no doubt but that he will display on that occasion the same skill land gallantry he has done on all others. The posi tion of your Majesty's Finnish army i* at present as follows : the 3d, 4th, and sth brigades occupy Kala jocki and its environs, and a strong detachment of the latter has taken post near Rantio Chassel on the right flank of the Russian army; the 2d brigade occupiesPn tti jocki near Brabestad,wherethehead-quarters now are; the 3d brigade is in Pulkila, and the Ist in Pyhajocki ; the artillery-depot and field-hospital of the army are in Uleaborg, covered by detachments of the regi ment* of Ulcaborg and Wasa, wider the orders of Colonel Numers. The enemy's main force is reported to occupy the neighbourhood of Himango Chapel and the parish of Lohto, and consists, according to the best hiforma tion which I have been able to collect, of from 6 to 7000 men, with 14 pieces of cannon. In and about Wasa are 2000 men. (Signed) " MAURICE KLINGSPOR." " Head-quartets, Brahestad, the 7th May, I SOL". PRIVATE CORRESPONDFNCE.--FROM A BRITISH OF4;ICER. Gottenburgh, May 22. " Dear Sir—The accounts which have reached this place since my last letter, serve but to confirm the late disastrous news from Stockholm. It is'now be yond a doubt, that since the disgraceful capitulation of the fortress of Sweborg, the Russians have taken possession of the whole of Finland as well as the Island of Gothland. I understand upwards of $OO gun boats and transport ships of the Swedish flotilla, were delivered up to the Russians, an at the time 5000 of the finest troops in the Swedish service surrendered pr i soner s of war. The (ate of this =formate rows- try seems now decided, as there is little doubt of the enemy succeeding in crossing -over to Stockholm from Finland. " The news from Norway. is also of a very un pleasant nature ; the Swedes have been repulsed, and driven back, not having a sufficient number of troops to maintain the advantages they lately gained. " It is presumed the trcops will not land till the ' Commander in Chief receives further orders from home. " MAY 24.—1 have just heard that the King of Sweden has signed an Armistice with the Russians, but this intelligence is very doubtful. It has been repotted, several days past, that he had proposed terms to them, which had been rejected. _ " The troops still remain on shipboard ; there seems no disposition making for their landing, indeed there is every appearance of their being ordered soon to return to England. "Three of the transport ships are still missing, and fears are entertained that they ran on shore near the Slaw point; one of them had cavalry on board, and the others troops." NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

We hoped, when we announced the restoration of tranquillity at Manchester, that we should not soon have to record any similar mpvements in other places, especially as the Manufacturers had agreed to advance the price of labour : but with grief we learn, that on Monday last, the market day at Rochdale, (12 miles from Manchester) a great number of operative wea vers assembled at the former place. A tumult en sued, several persons were taken into custody, and committed to the New Prison. The mob did not, however, disperse, and when erening came, found means to set fire to the New. Prison, having first set the prisoners at liberty. This fine building, we are sorry to add, was burnt down to the ground. We have not been able to learn farther particulars, but we hope no other consequewes would follow ; for the Manufacturers at Manchester had a meeting on Tuesday, at the Bull's Head Inn, tosettle an advance in the prices of weaving. This meeting was very nu merously attended, and it was unanimously agreed to advance the wages, in two proportions ; the first to take place yesterday, the other on the Ist of August. The working people were all made quite happy by thii event, and tranquillity will now continue.
