76 he was at the bottom of all this Nenocietion. Mr. Sheridan here enter- h ed into a statemeot of the .mariner in which he understood the Negocia- tion was carried on, and mentioned several circumstances to chew that II be had no hand whatever in the farmerien of the present Administra tin. It was composed of as.tofm: o to when; he had not the slight- 11 est personal enmity ; on the c.nitriry, he had much respect tor them,' het he could tit vow with theta. Ile could never prevail upon his e iscience to suffer him to support the ineastues of those men who wei e a verse to the claims of the Ca; eo!ics of itei nd. He could no: at the s ee time but acknowledge, iteit the Gentlemen over the way had, ; • cc they carne into office, she•eli a good des! of active bent heiel ener- r, for besides other perforneewes of then .s, the Order: is Council inie'lt now be looked upon as rceelted, alt heith it was done in an auk sear), sloping, confused minuet:4;Ni. way—(A laugh). The glory which the Noble Lord had anticipated tit m the future acts of Government was, he trusted, intended as a kind of hint to the House. that he and ' his colleagues would pot into cife:t the ardent and well-grounded wishes of the nation—that America should he our friend, that distress should he banished from the shores of Great Britain, but above all, that the Catholics of Ireland should find that their emancipation was to he ffected, generously effected, by those very men who had previously op tosed it. The removal of inveterate and rooted prejudices was a virtue which was nut misnamed when it was called generosity. Mr. Sheridan concluded by moving—" That a humble Address be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, praying that he would be graciously pleased to lay before the House whatever Documents, connected with the late Negotiations, lay in his hands, so far as such Documents may be produced consistently with his sense of proprii ty." Lord R. SEY MOUR expressed his satisfaction at the determination ex pressed by the Lords of the Household to resign in the event of a cer-• tain change, and at the pains they had taken to publish that determina t an to the country. Mr. name F Y said,.he could see no ohject in his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Sheridan) coming down to the House, except that of expres sing his disapprobation of the conduct of Lords Grey and Grenville. Mr. Po NSONDY defended the conduct of Lords Grey and Grenville. Mr. MARTIN (of Galway) made a few observations. Mr. Wiwi BREAD spoke highly in favour of the conduct of Lord Moira, and also of Lords Grey and Grenville. Sir F. Be RD Err said, that he rose to make an observation, displaying his own satisfaction, at die kind and candid conduct of his Royal High ness, throughout the whole of those fruitless negotiations, in which he bad so fully complied with the Address of the House. He did not mean to say that he approved of a mere change of Administration, which was not ac eempanied by a total change of measures, f.'r without that he could not nugur any beneficial effects would result. That subject, however, he would reserve for discussion en a future opportunity. He thought the House would do right if it should, in place of the present Address, vote another to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, notifying the Thanks of the House for his conduct during the late fruitless nego tations.—(Hear, hear!) After a reply from Mr. Sheridan, and a few words from Mr. Hutch inson, the motion was put and nezatived.—Adjeurned. • SATURDAY, JUNE CO.

LOADON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1812. WAR DEPARTMENT. POWNTNG-sTIIEET , JUNE 17, 1812. Major Currie, : `side-de-Camp to Lieut.-General Sir Rowland Hill, arrived this evening at Lord Bathurst's Office, with a dispatch, rf which the following is an Extract, addressed to the Earl of Liver pool by General the Earl of Wellington, dated Fuente C;uinald(e 213th of May, 1812: When I found that the enemy had retired from this frontier, on the 24th of April, I directed I.ieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill to carry into execution the operations against the enemy's posts and establishmeets a the passage of the Tagus at Almarez. • Owing to the necessary preparations for this expedition, Lieute nant-General Sir Rowland Hill could not begin his march, with part of •the 2d division of infantry, till the 12th instant, and he attained the objects of his expedition on the 19th, by taking by storm Forts Na peleon and RegtEa, and the Ors-du-pant and other works, by which the enemy's bridge was guarded, by destroy'irg those forts and work!, and the enemy's bridge and establishments, and by taking their maga zines, and two hundred and fifty-nine prisoners, and eighteen picas of cannon. I have • the honour to enclose Lieut.-General Sr Rowland Hili's report of this briliant exploit ; and I beg to draw yaur Lordship's at tention to the difficulties with which he had to contend, as well from the nature of the country, as freM the works which the enemy had cons!ructed, and to the ability and the characteristic qualities displayed by Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill, ir. persevering in the line, and con fining himself to the objects chalked out by his instructions, notwitie standing the various obstacles opposed to his prbqess. I have nothing to add to Lieutenant-General Sit R. Hill's report et the conduct of the Officers and troops under his command, exceptieg to express my concurrence in all he says in their praise. Too much cannot be said of the brave Officers and troops who took by storm, with out the assistance of cannon, such works as the enemy's forts on hods banks of the Tagus, fully garrisoned, in good order, and defended by eighteen pieces of artillery. Your Lordship is aware that the road of Almarez affords the only milita cmmuication across the Tagus, and from the Taus to the Guadia ry na, o below n Toledo. All the permanent bridges below the bridges of Arzobispo have been destroyed during the war, by one or other of the belligerents, and the enemy found it impossible to have repair them. Their bridge which Lieut.-Gen. Sir Rowland Hill has destroyed, was one of boats ; and I doubt their having the means of replacing it. The communications from the bridges of Arzobispo and l'alavera to the IGuadiana are very difficult, and c.eniot be deemed military comma ! nications for a large army. The result then of Lieut.-Gen. Hilt's expe -1 dition, has been to cut off the shortest and best communieatien betvNeu 1 1 the armies of the South and of Portugal. I Nearly about the time that the enemy's troops, reported in el i last dispatch to have moved into the Condado de Niebla, marched front I Seville, it is reported that another considerable detachment under Mar: ed I shat Souk went towards the blockade of Cadiz , an d it was expect that another attack was to be made upon Tariffa. . It appears, however, that the enemy received early i n telligence o f Sir Rowland Hill's march. The troops under the comma nd of Gen. Drouet made a movement to their left, and arrived upon the Guadi ana i . 1 at Medellin on the 17th instant: and on the lath , a cleachment far cf the 3 s cavalry under the command of the same General d rove I in, as
