'being strong reason to believe that Ministers, at the time they held out that battle as a victory, knew from what was stated by Lord Wellington in his dispatches, that our army must retreat • and that the battle, said to be a victory, must be followed by all the conse- quences of defeat. His Lordsh;p. therefore, moved for the instructions sent to Lord Wellington ; for the dispatches received from him upon his marching from Placentia ; for the dispatches which he sent from Ta lavera, after the battle ; and also for certain corres pondence between Lord Wellington and the Spanish Government, respecting supplies for the army. The Earl of LIVERPOOL did not see the neces sity ci calling for any documents of the nature al lude," to by the Noble Earl, for the purpose of discussing the motion for a Vote of Thanks to Lord Wellington. The vote was a tribute to the bravery of the a , my, and the skill of the Commander, and had no connection with any inquiry into the merits of the campaign. He should therefore oppose the mo tion. The Marquis of DOUGLAS thought it highly ne cessary that they should have the proposed information before them, particularly when it was doubtful whe ther the purpose for which the battle of Talavera was fought was gained, or rather whether it had not wholly failed. There were other documents also which he thought of importance, and for which he should afterwards move. Lord ERSKINE said, he should have great satis faction, if unfettered by his situation in that House, in paying a tribute to the merits of Lord Wellington, whom be considered as an able and accomplished of ficer. Ile thought it, however, essential, that they should have the proposed information before they pro ceeded to the discussion of a Motion of Thanks for the Battle of Talavera. He would put an hypothe tical case—Suppose that the result of fighting a battle should he, although a victory was claimed, the failure of the main pu:poses of the campaign, would it not be essential that they should have information with respect to the reasons for adopting that measure, be fore they voted Thanks for a victory which had pro duced only disastrous consequences ? The Earl of HA RROW BY maintained that it was not the practice to call for information, with the view of ascertaining the character of a victory when the only purpose in contemplation was the voting Thanks to the Commander. The precedents were all the other way. Thanks were votod for the victory of Maida, although without meaning to convey the slightest reflection it might be said to be little better than a barren laurel. Earl GROSVENOR contended, that it was im possible for that House to vote thanks for a mere iso lated act of valour, without inquiring into the cir cumstances which attended it. With respect to the battle of Maida, it was complete in its object, and the Commander retreated at his option, but the only con sequences of the battle of Talavera were the surrender of our sick and wounded into the hands of the enemy, and our being forced to retreat. The Earl of LAUDERDALE thought the con ; extremely singular ; an intention !d by his Noble Friend on Tuesday forward a motion of inquiry into le Campaign in Spain, which neces te merits of the battle of Talavera, not thought a sufficient reason to a vote of thanks for fighting that the affair of Basqueßoads the mere of a Member of the House of Com 'could oppose a vote of thanks, led to m the Commander.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE wished to be informed, whe ther the Papers intended by Ministers to be laid before the House referred to the whole campaign, or only to parts of it The Earl of LIVERPOOL said the Papers were those alluded to in his M.jesty's Speech, and were confined to the Expedition to the Scheldt. They would probably be laid on the Table by Monday, though it might be Tuesday or Wednesday. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then gave notice, for Thurs day, of a Motion of Inquiry relative to the Campaign. The Earl of LIVERPOOL wished to know whether the Noble Lord's Motion referred generally to the whole Campaign, or was confined to the Expedition to the Scheldt? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he should be able to state his Motion more particularly when he had seen the Papers which it was intended to lay upon the Table. The Lords were ordered to be summoned for Thursday, Adjourned till to-morrow (this day). THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 26.

Yesterday His MAJESTY, by the advice of . the ARCIIBLSHOP of CANTERBURY and the Council, was pleased to order a solemn Fast to be observed through out England and Ireland on the 28th of February, and throughout Scotland on the Ist day of March. His Grace at the same time received His MAJESTY'S commands to prepare Forms of Prayer accordingly. The arrival of the vessels at Liverpool from Ame rica, mentioned in the STAR of yesterday, caused American produce to fall considerably in price at that port. The American Bill, of which we yesterday gave an extract, amounts simply to this :—The Non intercourse Act has been repealed by Congress, and the Non-importation Act substituted for it—That is, Atne rica may export, but cannot import from Britain or from France. In other words, America has expe rienced, like France, the evils resulting from a sys tem which locked up at home the produce of her own soil, and like France on a late occasion, imagines that she has thus found out the means of securing a British market for their consumption, while she yet endeavours to fetter the commerce of England ! It is however the opinion of many, that the new system has been adopted with the view of provoking retaliation on the part of our Government, which might be expected to order all American vessels bound to France, &c. to be captured and brought into our ports, and thus to furnish them with a plau sible pretext kr declaring war against this country. But even this pretext will, it is thought be done away, as it is expected that Government will in a short time prohibit American vessels from entering British ports. It is to be hoped, however, that before such a measure is resorted to, time will be allowed to the British commercial Agents in America to avail them selves of the opportunity afforded to them by the new regulation to make remittances to their principals in this country.

A report has been received by the Governor in Council, from the Officer commasding in Mysore, stating, that the troops which composed the garrison bf Seringapatam surrendered at discretion on the 23d instant, delivered up their arms and proceeded to the stations in Mysore allotted for their residence. It has been ascertained that the native troops, which pro ceeded from Chittledroog, were entirely ignorant of the real designs of their officers, and marched under an impression, produced by their officers, that his Highness the Rajah of Mysore, had commenced hos tilities against the British Government, and attacked NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
