A letter from Geneva of the 231 says, that in the course of a month previous to that date about 2500 men had passed through that city on their march from Italy, and 700 more were to follow. Their destination had not transpired. CONTINUATION OF THE REPORTS RELATIVE TO THE OPERATIONS IN SPAIN. The Marshal Duke of Treviso, with a division of the sth corps of the army, advanced upon the enemy's division of Balasteros, which haring been forced to move off from the defiles of El Ronquillo, had fol lowed the chain of mountains, in order to put itself in communication with the points of Moguer, Huelba, and Ayamonte. The Duke of Treviso was despair ing of being able to come up with this body, when, on the 15th after a fatiguing march, by rods' ex- 1 itremely difficult, he surprised them at the passage of the Rio-Tinto, near Zulameala-Real, and ordered them to be immediately attacked. The enemy occu pied a position covered with rocks ; but notwith standing that advantage, they were repulsed, and put to a complete rout ; from 6 to 700 men fell on the spot, and 150 were taken prisoners The rest threw down their arms and dispersed themselves, in order more quickly to gain the frontiers of Portugal, and probably afterwards Badajoz. The Duke of Arem burg at the same time entered Huelba, whence, at his approach, a party sent by the enemy precipitately embarked. The Duke of Treviso continues his move ment upon Ayamonte, and has ordered the remains *of the division of Balasteros to be pursued. He speaks favourably of Captain Laselle, of the 21st re giment of light infantry, who, on that occasion, made a good charge. Our loss consisted of two men killed and five wounded. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 9. The Lords Commissioners having taken their seats, and the Speaker of the House of Commons being in attendance at the Bar, his Majesty's Commission for granting the Royal Assent to the Bills which had passed both Houses was read ; after which the Royal Assent was given in the usual manner to thesis Mil lions Exchequer Bills Bill, the 81,400,000 Exchequer Bills Bill for Ireland, the Stamp Duties Bill, the Lean Bill, the Malt Duty Bill, the Flax Bounty Bill, the Pension Duty Bill, the Irish Beer Bill, the Land Tax Redemption Bill, the Embezzlement Bill, the British Fishery Bill, the Foreign Salt Bill, the Fo reign Silk Bill, the Isle of Man Smuggling Preven tion Bill, the Brazil Machinery Bill, the Goods re moval Bill, the Irish Insolvent Debtors. Bill, the Sur veyor General's Bill, the Overseers Accounts Bill, the Poor Settlement Bill, the Howth Harbour Bill, the Bastard Bill, the Poor Badges Bill, the Stage Coach Bill, the Gas Light Bill, the Chancery Feel Bill, and to a number of other Bills. The Commissioners were, the Lord Chancellor, Earl Camden, and Lord Walsingham. A column swot to the mountains which sepirate the province of Cordovo from that of Estremadura,, came up with a party of the enemy at Valseiluillo, and killed 80 men, and took 50 prisoners; the Chief of battalion, Bony, and the Captain of voltigeurs, Robin, of the 51st regiment, who commanded the column, conducted themselves in the most gallant manner. - General Sebastiani, commanding the fcurth corps of the army, having received orders to penetrate into. ,the kingdom of Murcia (for the purpose of expelling therefrom such of the enemy's troops as were there and who incessantly infested the frontiers of the provinces ofdaen, Grenada and Murcia, and fomented insurrec- tions in the Alpuxarres), assembled at Guadix the troops appointed for this operation, and began his march on the 18th of April. He transferred his head quarters on the 22d, to Lorca, and on the Vd his advanced guard entered Marcia. The enemy's force, was between 16 and 17,000 men. This body had advanced with hostile intentions as far as Culal, but, finding themselves anticipated, they hastened to eva cuate the country. Their rear was come up with at Valez, El Rubio, and Totana. We killed a few, and made some prisoners. 'lt was impossible to bring them to a general engagement. They abandoned 16 redoubts mounted with 60 pieces of cannon, that had been thrown up round Murcia, and retreated with pre cipitation upon Alicant, detaching a body of 4000 to Carthagena. General Sebastiant caused the different detachments of the enemy, which have been partly disorganised, to be pursued close to this port, and to the other side of Orthuela, in the direction of Elche. All the peasants of the mountains ofJaen and the fron tiers of La Mancha, that had joined them, came to .1000 deteimination of abandoning them, and-returning . _ to their homes.

He shoot now move, that the Bill for preventing robberies is navigable rivers, be rea d a third time on Wednesday, but if that shonld be found inconvenient he should 'then postpone it till T bursday ; and if it should ap. pear, that there was •no prospect of the bill passing through both Hoeses . during the present Session, he should not press the third reading even on Thursday. IRISH ARMS. The Order of th e Day for the third reading of the Irish Arms Bill b ring read, Mr. PETER. TeIOORE opposed the third reading of the Irish Arn is Bill ; he hind opposed it, he said, on its original introduction two years ago, and was then in a smell minority of ten, who were rather laughed at them otherwise, for their insignificancy; but, they-felt it to be A Bill of infinite importance to their fellow-subjects, in Ireland, and had determined to mark their sense of it by a division; that whets the Bill was originally introduced, there was no pg• liamentary ground laid for it, either of necessity a expediency ; and that having watched its operation. Mr. Mnore said, he was happy to find oat the Bill had not been called for, and had been wholly nil. tory, considering thereby, that there was no ground for it either then or now ; that he was came if 1 such a Bill was introduced into this country, it would vibrate alarm from one extremity of the Empire to the other, and be considered as an intended insult; and that he could not see, why Bills of this deserip tion should be applied to Ireland any more than En?, land. 'lime present abbreviated Bill, Mr. ?tbore siida he observed, was onl a vestige of the former Bill, and he confidently fe lt and believed, that the repeal of the other obnoxious clauses and provisions of that Bill was a concession absolutely extorted by the ky alty. and attachment of the People of Ireland, and he had no hesitation in saying, that it would infinitelyl more become the dignity of Government to displace this Bill. altogether by an implicit confidence in the affections and true interests of the people of Ireland, to which experience had most amply testified the, were entitled, Mr. Moore said the several Members who had before opposed this Bill, acting set the same principles, were of the same opinion With himself, and were resolved to persevere in throwing it out, if possible. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER postponed the third reading till Wednesday.—Ad -1 journed till Wednesday. .. TtIeFNE I NIM; STAR. LONDON, LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND. After a conversation between Earls LAUDERIMLIC and RossurN, who argued that the grant of £lO,OOO to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, as proposei in his Majesty's Message, was brought forward a•t too late a period in the Session, to enable the Howse sa tisfactorily to judge of the propriety of it; 2.nd by the Earl of Liverpool and Lord Ross, wit() argued that ithe expence of that important and h',nourable Office was more than doubled, so as to tender it a burden on any noble person by whom the duties of it were undertaken, an Addrecs to hie Majesty, in the tirms of his Message, was agreed to. HOUSE •OF COMMONS. Lord Ormond's Contract Bill, the Irish Treas•ary Bills Bill, the Irish Still Fines Bill, the Inland Coals Bill, arad the Army Cloathing Bill, were severally read a third time ar,d passed. The Fisheries Bill was reported and ordered to be read a third time on Weduesday. The Offices in Reversion Bill from the Lor./s. went through a Committee without any amendment, was reported, read a third time and passed. A Message was received from the I.orda stating, that agree ably to the request of the House of Commons, they had granted liberty to Lords Wellesley and Arden, to attend the Committee, on Public Expenditure, if they so inclined. Also that the Lords had agreed to the Newfoundland Fishery Bill, to the Bethlan Hospital Bill, &c. Mr. CR EEVk:Y gave notice that he should, on Thursday, call the attention of the House to the present situation of the East ln.lia Company's Affairs. The Seamen s Bill went through a Committee, and was or dered to be reported on Wednesday. Mr. PETER MOORE brought up the Report of the Drury. lane Theatre Bill, which was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third tittle. CRIMINAL LAW. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, in rising to move that the third rending of the bill for the bettcr preventing of robbery in navigable livers, shotild stnnd for Wed nesday, had no intention of pressing the third read ing on that day, should there then be a great deal of other business before the House. 1-4 e begged to avail himself of the present opportunity, however, to say a few words on the nature of the present bill. It stood on totally different grounds from the other two bills which had been introduced by him, one of which i had passed that House. The Act which he now I This day arrived a Mail from Lisbon , . -sought to have repealed, was an Act of the other day.
