HOUSE OF COM MONS.—Yesterd ty Mr. NY H A RTON brought up the Report of the Peace Pre,ervation ill tim , vvhi eon ch was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third Monday. ln a Committee a Vote of Credit for Ireland to the . amount of 200.0001. was agreed to. Adjourned. By the Anholt Mail, which arrived la•t Friday, and brought advices from l'etersbnr hg to th th e 28 June, we om ha thve two accounts of the desettion of the Prussic n , fre French army. The one is in a letter from Gottenburgh , which states, that these alli es, to the number of Iwo, 82 officers, abandoned their quarters and went over to the forces under a General of At n crt. Another account is more minute, and is brought by a Gentlematv who left Memel on the 2d July, and w ho, having arrived at Carl sham, informs his Correspondents in this Cty, t it the famous cavalry regiment of Black linssars, with an h other of light infantry (Fusileers) had escaped from the French quar ters, and safely arrived in the Russian camp. • A Cadiz mail has arrived, with papers to the 21st of June General LACY has defeate d a cor p s of 3,500 in Catalonia and the Empecinado carries on a most active warfare in New Castile. On the 21st of May he defeated a body of 600 near Cifuentes, and it was reported that he had s ubsequently entered Cuenca. lIAL LASTEROS has published an address to the Andalusians, in which he maintains that the French had no right to claim the victory, in the action at Bornos, they not having dared to renew the attack. By a decree of the Cortes, the new Cortes are to be assembled on the ist of October, 1813. The Duke DEL INFANT ADO had been formally introduced to the Cortes, and had taken the Chair of the Regency in that Assembly. In the speech which he addressed to the President on the occasion, he observed, that the conduct of the Spaniards had every where in this coun try excited esteem and enthusiasm, and that the last words of the PRI/SCE REGENT were, that he would never enter into i negociation with the enemy, in which the interests of the Spanish nation, and those of their unfortunate Monarch, FERDINAND VII. were not duly appreciated. A private letter from Cadiz., dated 20th June, states, that the Spaniards had declined sanctioning our sending out Com missioners to South America, in consequence of which it was expected that the Grampus, on hoard of which they sailed from this country, would immediately return. Letters from a Cene , al Officer, of the 20th of June, from Salamanca, stare, that the army was in the highest health and spirits. It was not then known whether Lord WEL LINGTON intended to attack MA n MONT behind the Douro. Ministers mean at length to adept the policy which has been so often recomtnended, of employing small squadrons with troops on board to harass the enemy, and prevent them at least from sending troops and provisions coastwise to the support of their armies in the Peninsula. Lord CocHRANE is said to have under his command a force which will act on the Southern coast of Spain, whilst Sir HOIAE POPHAM is employed on the same object in the Bay of Eliscay. A bat talion of marines (a force peculiarly fit file the puryse) is now forming to join the expedition under Lord COCHR AN E. It will be selected from the four divisions, and a company of Marine Artillery added thereto. JITLY Vtie are told that a Messenger has arrived, charged with important dispatches for this Government. It is among the matters alledged on which we are least disposed to rely, that the Emperor ALEXANDER has refused to ratify the Treaty of Peace and Alliance, lately acceded to by his Plenipoteu tiai les at Bucharest. Advices from Ilelsingbu r g h g ive the numerical strength of the Russians throug hout their whole line, as high as 450,000 men, and it is said that they rigidly adopt the expe. diem on which they had determined, of bearing off every de:cription of port.ibte property, and of destroying every thing, not capable fif cemoval, that can directly or indi. rectly, contribute to the shelter or subsistence of the French armies. 111ISCE LLANIES.
