Bettye it the 3d and 14th instant 3000 cuirassiers of the Dtike of Padua's division will have passed duongh the department of La Murthe. The first asps were to enter Nancy this flay or to-morrow. The Milarsete Courier under the.head'of Trieste, the 23d ult. says, g that all the Turkish vessels lately ar rived there had been put wider sequestration.' An article from 'Antwerp of the 30th ult. says : Their Majesties left Cambray on Sunday the 29th after wars. They made a short stay at Valenciennes, where the different authorities were admitted to an audience. They arrived at seven o'clock at the Castle of Laeken. All the roads and streets they passed .through were decorated with triumphal arches, tro plitess ece. and filled with immense crowds. Senti ments of the most lively joy were manifested by all. This day their Majesties gave audience at the Palace of Laeken, to the authorities of the department of the Dyle, and the city of Prussels. At noon they em barked on the canal with their Majesties the King and %n of Westphalia, and at four they arrived at 4 l l e braek, where the canal communicates with the Rappel. The Minister of the Marine, Vice-Admiral Missies, and the Prefect of the Two Neches, received them at the Sluice. Their Majesties embarked in the boats navigated by the sailors of the Imperial Guard, and descended the Ruppel, and the Scheldt, amidst the vessels of the fleet which were at anchor, and with, their colours flying. The arrival of their Majesties at Antwerp was announced by repeated discharges of artillery, both from the Beet and fortifications of di. .city. Their Majesties landed at. the arsenal, where thS Mayor and Commandant had thc honour to pre. sent the keys to his Majesty the Emperor. The mul -1 titude of spectators was immense, and they expressed the gratitude of the inhabitants of this important city for its second founder. They could not but contrast the state of the port and city of Antwerp seven years ago, when his Majesty first visited it, with what it is at present.'. The Indicate:lr of Bourdeaux of the 20th ult. says, His Highness the Prince of Esling, Duke of Rivoli, Marshal of the Empire, passed through here yesterday on his way to take the command of an army of be tween 90 and 100,000 men, destined to march direct upon Portugal. His Highness travels post.' General Souham, who commands a division of the, army of Catalonia, is arrived in this capital. By virtue of an Imperial decree, the colonial pro duce on hand at Breda, Bergen-op-Zoom, Bois-le-duc t and the other places ceded to France, ether under sequestration, or otherwise, may be imported into France, on paying the duties of customs imposed by the decree of the Bth February, or may be exported to Holland, duty free, within the space of two months. The 5 per cents. were yesterday at 80 f. 70 c. SALAMANCA, APRIL 6. • The English division at Pinnel is from 8 to 7000 men strong, and is commanded by General Crawford. Another division of equal force is at Vise% with the head-quarters of Lord Wellington. The two other divisions of the English army are now, one upon the right of the Tagus, near Abrantes, and the other on right of the Guadiana, near Badajos. It is estimated that these four divisions form a total of from 22 to 25,000 men, including artillery and cavalry. There are besides at Lisbon, Coilnbra, and Oporto, from 4 co 5,000 detached troops. Two thousand Portuguese commanded by English superior officers, ate at Al meyda. About 20b3 English infantry and cavalry arc in advanced posts, a league in front of Ciudad Rodrigo. They are relieved every five days. Vessels are ready at Lisbon to receive the Englishl army.—General Beresford commands 25,000 Portu. guese, who appeal to intend passing is the Brazils, in the event of a check. The English have but little confidence in the affairs of Spam. They complain much of the Spaniards. However, they will ma nceuvre, to retard, as long as they can, the taking of Ciudad Rodrigo, after which they will all join for the purpose of embarking. But they are afraid of being attacked on three points at the same time. L'ORIENT, APRIL 20. The two frigates, Venus and Bellone, have had an action in the Bay of Bengal with two English fri gates, the Piedmontaise and Fox, and a cutter. They took the two English frigates.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. moved that the Serjeant be called to the Bar, to give an account of what the proceeding was that had taken place in respect to him.—Ordered. The Serjeant having conk to the Bar, The SPEAKER said the House had been infor med he had some communication to make, and de sired he would say what it was. ' The Serjeant then stated that he had been called uptin by a person desiring him to let him h ave a copy • of the warrant under which he acted in the arrest of Sir Francis Burdett ; that he shtwed Lim the warrant; and that he had since been served with a legal pro cos, which he then had in his fend. The paper was then ordered to be handed to the table, and read, and purported to 1.)..! a copy of a writ against the Seleint, for a trespass and assault, at the suit of Sir Francis Burdett, Bart. John Ellis, Gray's Inn-square, was indorsed tt (we suppose as the Solicitor). The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, that the said paper be referred tt) the same Committee to which that against the Speaker had been referred. Sir THOMAS TURTON skid, that from any thing which appeared on the face of the paper, as he had heard it read, it was only a copy of arwrit brought by Sir Francis Burdett against -- Coleman, with out any mention or designation of Serjeant of that House, and might be only an action of one private individual against another, wh ich no way conce rne d the House. He therefore objected to its being re ferred to a Committee. Lord FOLKSTONE said he was not in the House when they came to the decision of referring the action against the Speaker to a Committee, or he should certainly have opposed it. He would there fore now take the same objections Of this as he should have done to the other, as they applied equallres.** both. He thought it was highly improper to refer either of them to a Committee, because the House having, on serious and mature consideration, adopted certain measures, ought to abide by them and wait the fair result ' • for unless they meant to influence or intimidate the Courts of Law from taking any cog gizatice of their proceedings, the appointment of a Committee would be altogether a futile and nuga tory measure. Mr. ADAM said, the reason why be consented to a Committee to search for Precedents, and to state faetsi was, that massy Gentlemen, not having consi dered the matter as he had done, might have an op 7 portunity of receiving information through that chan nel, and thereby be enabled in a more satisfactory manner to make up their minds ; but to suffer them to report their opinion to the House, was to his think— ing an abandonment of its privileges. He was sure the House had the right to psoceea as they had done, though that right bad never been tried ; and the point now to be settled was, what was the best mode of bringing the matter to the test He wished to call to the recollection of the House the Act which passed in 1770, and deprived Members of one of their privi. lay* viz that of being secured against personal ac tions being served on them, and also against the ar. rest of their servants. He begged to shew what was the course of proceeding pursued by the House, against those who were rash and daring enough to offend against this privilege before it was abolished. The mode was this : the parties whose names were to the process as Plaintiffs were called to the Bar of the House, and entrained whether they were . the per. sons who gave orders for these proceedings, and if they acknowledged it, the House immediately can. .ig e =tut • •",
