I now have the satisfaction to acquaint you, for their Lordships' information, that the squadron, by the unremitting exertions of thk tfficgrs and nitre under my command, were Teac l y pn'the 3d instant, when it was determined by Lieutenant General Drummond and myself, that an immediate attack should be made on the forts and tosett of OsWego, which, in point of position, is the most formidable I have 'seen in Upper Canada, and c: mere the *enemy had by river navigation collected horn the interior sereral 'heavy guns and stores for the shies, and large depots of provisions for their :ranty.—At noon on the sth, we got eff the port, and were on the point of landing, -when a heavy gale from the N.W. obliged me to gain an offing. On .the morning of the 6th, every thing being ready, one hui.dred and fi rty troops, two hundred seamen, anned.rwith Ores, under Captaip Muleaster, and four t hulidred marines, were put into the boats; the Mont lea) and Niagara took their scions abreast, and +within a q•sarter of a mile of the fort, the Magnet i • opfivsite the town, and the Star and Charweil to p. , ver Wicking, which was effected under a nio4t !Natty- hirieltoe.ad, grape, and musketry, kept up with gte:it spirit.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL pre anted s Message front the Prince Regent, recommending so their Lordship to concur with' the Commons,_ in assigning a provision for Vim-AdMirel Lord E Z SLOUTU and Lieutenant-Gemmel Lord C o ssigignis. guitar We to the otaintesance of they igh dignities which bad bees be stowed on them, end suggestig that the peewit thereof should be "000 a-year for each. The copy of the Message being laid on the Table, It was or dered, on the motion of the Noble Earl, that the same be taken into consideration tolnorrow. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the Earls of LAVDMIDALII, &MURK, StiAtTESBURT, and HAILBOWIT, the Dube of SO. ifERSLT, Lords BoRINGDON, Ds DUNST•NVII.S.r, and HAllle new, presented a great variety of Petitions against any revival of the Slave Trade.—Ordered to Ne on the Table. Earl STANHOPE presented a variety of Petitions from the Masters and Joorneymen of various branches of manufactures in the Metropolis, and from the Barge-builders, Coopers, Sail makers, end others, against the Apprentice 11111. While his L or d s hip presented hose Petitions, he took occasion to comment on various absurd clauses jn the fah Act of Elizabeth, Which, if enforced, would expose say of their Lordships to grievous fines and Imprisonment for hiring gavots in the way which they were daily in the habit of doing, , THANKS TO TUE MINT AND NAVY. Earl BATHURST, pursuant to notice, moved the thanks of that House to the Army and Miry, for the various high and essential services which they had rendered to their country. In submitting that motion to their Lordships, be had little doubt of the r unanimous concorrence, possessed as they were of the glowing recollection of those great achievements which, in the course of a long and arelooUt contest, sometimes against almost all the Powers of Europe, had maintained and exalted the British character both by sea and land, not only in the splendid victoria sat the Nile, 'Trafalgar, and elsewhere, but in a military point of view on land, especially in the latter part of our warfare, where the exertions of the British troops were the admiration of the surrounding countrirs.— Never had armies attained a higher reputation for valour, enterprise, skill, and discipline, than those of Great Britain, in the progress and at the close of the late glorious campaign. How much of the praise due to such a proud condition of the army brlonged to the Duke of Wellington, and other grett and dis. tinguished Commanders, their Lordships conld well appreciate. But in contemplating the present flou rishing condition of the British army, it was i:rpos sible not to trace it directly to the wise, salutary, and efficient measures adopted and pursued by the Com mander in Chief, in reterence . and application to every department of the military service. His Lordship concluded by moving the 'Cranks of the House seve [rally to the Commanders and other Officers, com missioned and non.commicsioned, and to the P. ivates of the Army, Navy, and Marines, Militia and Volun teers, which being unanimously agreed to, it was or dered that the Lord Chancellor should present the Thanks, for the Army, to hi, Royal Highisesi the Duke of York. Commander in Chief, and for the Navy, to his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence, Admiral of the Fleet, by them to be communicated to the officers and men in each department. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Petitions were presented from Lawns places against the Slave Trade. Mr. M. Sutton brought In a Bill to repeal the Acts of the 30th and Sed of Charles 11. relative to burying in woollen, which was reLti a EMI time. The Nay Prize Mnney and L.an Charge Bin. were read a third time, and passed The Report o the Madhouse BM was taken into further con siders-inn, the Resolutions were agreed to, and the NU ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Acts respt cting I imber were referred to a Come mince, and leave given to bring in a &Il to continue the same. The Report of the Northern Lights Bill wa: brought up.— Third reading to-morrow. The House went into a Committee on the London Docks Bill, the Resolutions were agreed to, and Report ordered.—Fur titer consideration on Friday. In a Committee on the Quern's Ferry Passage Report, Mr. W. Saints moved, that when et should be certified that eel ii3Oteo, already granted towards carrying on this work was expended, a further sum of .4'10,000, or so much as was considered necessary, should be granted.—Agreed to ; It-port to-rnorrow. ?t1 tte%E'S prtirlov. Mr. P. MOORE said he held in his hand a petieon from Alexander M.Rae, which complained of punish• ments inflicted upon nne sec cf men for the crimes of another ; and declared that the Petitioner would, at the Bar of that House, prove these facts. He should, %ever, having stated this, content himself with moving, that the Petition be now bronght np. Mr. BATHURST said, the Hon. Member had not stated v:ho M'Rae was; but he supposed it was the verso') who had hen convict , d of a conspiracy with ft!..iers. The prayer of the petition then was, that the House, with: ut any allegation, stating abuse of power in the Court below, WAS called on to enquire into, and change thc judgment of the Court below. The House was ready at all times - to he.tr complaints, but here nn compl.int was aglinst the Court below, on which the House mild entertain the Petition. Mr. P. MOCi RE saki, there must have been a fai. lure in his mode of staling it. He would therefore read the sentence, which stated that he was ready to come fOrward and explain all the circumstances at. tending a recent transaction, which explanation would prove that a person, a Member of that Hous..., now suffering under an implication of being a party in that transaction, had no share whatever in it. The peti tioner had agreed to make such explanation to the Stock Exchange, who offered him a pecuniary re compence for his information ; but, when it was un• derstood that his explanation would have excutputed Lord Cochrane, they refused to hear him. This he was ready to prove by ev;dence at the Bar ; and, fail ing to do so he would suffer the punishment of the law most readily. Mr. OATHORST said, the proper time to do this would halm been at the trial, instead of which he had not attended and run from his punishment, and now came forward most heroically, promisng to establish something, and if he should fail in doing ►o, declaring himself ready to suffer the punishment to which he was already seritewed. Mr. LbeK HART said, it was impossible fix the House to receive this Petition, or to hear the petitio ner, who by his sentence WU . rendered incapable of giving testimony. It also appeared that the petitioner .tated lie had more evidence besides his own ; pop, if such was the fact ht might inform the Noble Lord conceincd who these witnesses were. The Noble Lord might then make what use he thouglit fit of their testimony : • The questiint was then pat f or b r i ng i ng tue the lie tition, and negativ e d by a great majority. • • LORD COCOONS, Mr. BROADHE AD then moved the Order of the Day for taking into consideration the record of the conviction of L o: Cochrane a n d. Mr. Cochrane Johnstone. The SPEAKER asked if Lord Cochrane was in attendance? and being ansvrered in the affirmative , he desired that Lord Cochrane be tailed in, and Lordship was called in accordingly. MA. Cochrane Th e SPEAKER then asked if r. Johnstone was in att endance f An answer was nods that he was riot in attendance. The SPEAKER then desired the Messenger who had served the notice on Ur. C. Johnstone , ' to be called in. &miaow, the Messenger, appeared at .the,Bar. said, he had galled at the house of Mr. C..,:bnlt unt r., when a person whom he saw them, of the na..7 1 ., 411 Moore, told him, it was of no use to leave an oreh.".• bec.tuse Mr. Johnstone was aot there, nor aid he live there. j said. that on Ft id ty last he went to a house where he b ad und7rsF:ciiodthleul:cloulcl essenger,hea was next called..—He hear something of Mr. C. John stone ; he saw a woman there , who told h i n t *be knew rothing at an about Mr. C. Johnston*. The SPEAKER then said, he understood that there were some blemb...rs present who could give some information respecting Mr. Johnstooe. Mr. ORAfIAM said, that since the conviction of Mr. Jr.linstene, he. SAW him in Calais. Another Member m ide a similar statemer.t. The SPEAKER then observed, !hat it remained for the House, with these facts before it, to deter mine in what mataier it should proceed With respect to Mr. Johnstone. The SPEAKER informed Lord Cochrane' that of °li the iltheecrnor(clionfn of .Mir.the Conviction nß°A DwaislEAreadD, the read, when was the time for him to deliver what he had to say to the House. Lord C(lfilßAxn then rose; and addressed tl.e Speaker to tile following effect : " Ma. SPRARP.R-.•Tile circumstances under which 1 appear before you and the House this, day s entitle me to, at least, a patitot healing. The unfortunatq man, who, in the time of Cnrdirial Richelieu, was condemned to be racked and burnt, on the charge of practising magic, when protesting his innocence and exposing the villany of his enemies, while the five was preparing before his eyes, was, to prevent his being heard by the people, struck upon the mouth with a, judicial murder shocked all France and all Europe g crucifix, borne in ttie hand of a monk. This horrible but of all the circumstances attending it. the falaricaa ,lion of evidence, the flagrant partiality of the Judge the cruelty of the sentence, the notorious falsehood o si f the charge. nothing produced so deep a sense of indig nation as the act of this timetable monk, who, not coolest with the torture and the death of the eietim t not content with thy destruction cf his body, wax». &dyed to pursue him beyond tliegrave. Therefore * S.r, thought what I have now west of the 4000 , coo-. vinces me that cowardly malignity is not the e::lgs ive possession of monks, I attic that on this day. no anent will be resorted to to stifle my voice, or to prevent thq public at iargelrom hearing 'all that I have to say is my defence-.all that I have to ur'e against the con duct of my enemies, and against we means that have been pursued to bringrjuin and degradatioa upon me. I ant not here.. Sir, to bespeak compas sion, or to pave the way to pardon. koth ideas are alike repugnant to my feelings,. That the public in genet n 1 have felt indignation at the sentence that has been passed upon me, does hotour to their hearts. and tends still to make my country dear W 1/$1 in Slip of what I have suffered from the malignity of persons in, power. Btu, Sir, I am not here to coisphan oi • thee . hardships of my case, or about the cruelty of Jades) who, for an act which was never till now either knows or thought to be'a legal offence, have laid upon me a sentence more heavy than they have ever yet upon persons clearly convicted of the matt horrid. crimes. climes if which nature herself cries aloud ag t nu the commission. If, tnertiore, it was my ob j, zt to complain of the cruelty of my Judges. I sl ould. bid the Public Lane into the calendar, and see if hey could find a punishment like that inflicted on me. in flicted by these same Judges on any one of these un natural wretches. It is nut, huwev,a. my business to complain of the cruelty of this sentence. I am here to assert, for a third time, my innocence, in the most unqualified and solemn manner; I here to expose the unfairness of the proceedings against me previous to the trial, at the trial, and subseginnt to it I ISM here to expose the long train of artful villainies which. have been practised against me, hitherto with so muck success, under the forms of law and justice ; I am here, its short, to appeal to my country, against the • • • • [Here the Noble Lord used expressions which we cahoot publish]. The House, Sir. will easily percei.e, and every honourable man will, I am sure, participate in my feelings, that the tine, the imprisonment, the pillory ; even that pil lory to which I am condemned, are nothing, that they weigh not as a feather when put in the balance against my desire, to Mew that I have been unjustly condemned: therefore, Sir, I t r u s t t h at t h e H ouse will give a fair an d i mpart i a l h ear i ng to vo say „e w hic respecting hconiiuc t the e i s c a on d d u u t c y t con stituents and my country not In the first place, Sir. 1 here, 1p the presence of this House, and with the eyes of the country fixed upon me, most solemnly declare, that 4 am wholly cent of the crime which has been lai d ch to spy • arge, and tor which I have been condemned t , k t: lo t w he n. m in ea i t hi is s t or hat in ha an ve l to the most infamous of punishments. Having' tepeated this as sei tiun of my innocence, I next proceed to. complain my destruction.
