The Commissioners were, the Lord Chancellor, Lords Walsinghaua and Redadak. Thu Loft!) CHANCCLLOR proposed two Resoln. flans respecting the Roxburgh case, and moved that they should be taken into consideration on the first mute day in the next Session s and also that the whole of the Roxburgh Appeals should be taken into consideration on the same day.— Ordered. The Local Militia Bill was brought back from the Commons by Sir James Graham, and other Members, and agreed to without Amendment. Adjourned till to-oaerrow (this day). The Deputy Usher of the Black Rod rum. mooed the House to the Howe of Peers. The Speaker on his return declared that the oy l a A f eent bad been given by Commission to the Ap. propriation Bill, the Judges' Salaries Bill, the Sale of Offices Bill, the Bankrupt Laws Bill, the Strand Bridge Bill, the Manchester Water Works Bill, and several private Bills. A parses from tbeCommissioners of Westmin ster Bridge parented their 'quarterly accouuts.— Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. 0 u e 1, from the Directors of the Hest lodic; Company, presented. accounts of the India Re. tease, &c. pursuant.to - an order of the House. Mr. CRZEIMT stated, that he had some obser- Tatiana to make on this account, but would re iterate himself till he raw the President of the Board of Controul in his place. The Account was then ordered to lie on the table. The Local Militia Bill was read a third time an passed. _ -.

NEW SECRETARY AT WAR. Mr. ILUSKLiSON moved,. that a. Now NVrit be 'issued for the Election of a Member for the 'County of Stafford, in the, room of Lord Granville Leveson Gower, who, since his Election, had ac cepted the Om of Secretary a tlilar.-0 rdercd. VI NANCE. Mr. VANSITTART sae, pursuapt to the @stud practice, to move certain Resolutions re. 'petting the amount of tht 'National cat ; the expenditure of the year, &c. &c. Theeeel to he provided fur this year, he stated to be ne less than 82 millions, although he did not mean to s iy that the supplies were not. equal to the charge. But he found fault with the charge upon the War Taxes, which was objectionable, as auticipating our resources, and having a tendency to leave us without the means of an extraordinary exertion in case of any emergency. lie conclnded by moving a Raolution, stating the amount of the actual 'debt, being upwards of 567 millions. Mr. HUSK ISSON complimented the ioultistry and accurary of Mr. Vansittart, and observed, that an expectation had been held out to the coon. try tha t the progress of taxation would be for a time suspended, and under these cireems:ances it was thought proper to have recourse to the war.' taxes. He stated that in the last six years no more than GO millions of capital had been added to the national debt, which was a proof that at rangements had been made which wuuld prevent an undue pressure being laid ou vosterity. He was, however, disposed to agree in the Resolu tious, which he had Ito doubt contained an accu. rate view of the state of our finances. The several Resolutions were then put and car. ried. Lord Os•et.sirost postponed his motion for the Printing of the Colonial. Offices Papers till ueut Session. Mr.Bstuctspresented a Report from the Cont. mittce on the Improvements of Westminster.— Ordered to lie ob the table. Mr. llusetsson presented an Account of the Charges on the Four and a Half per Cent. Duties of the Leeward Islands, which, after a few words from Mr. Creevey, were ordered to he !stinted. Mr. Husslsson presented an Accohnt of the INet Assessments of the Property Tax.—Ordered to lie on the Table, and to be printed. INDIA FINANCE. M r. CREEVEY adverted to the India Account, and lamented that it should be so imperfect; and it was the more to be regretted, as the time drew nigh when the House would be called upon to de. cid'. whether the system of 1793 was to be conti nued. Ile expressed his hope that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would make no agreement with the Company for the renewal of their Charter, in the present state of darkness ; wail he also hoped the House would not he called upon to do any thing precipitately. He then moved that the ac. cuunt be printed. Mr. DUNDAS agreed entirely with the Hon. Gentleman, that Government aught not to gireany pledge to the Company, .nor call upon the House to decide till it had got every possible information. That the papers were not all arrived was no fault of the Director,. Sir J. ANSTRUTHER. confessed that the In. dia Expenditure was at present somewhat above their income ; but this was owing to the wars, a circumstance which added every year to the debt of this country. The Account was ordered to be printed. CANADA. Me. P. MOORE gave notice of it motion for next Session, respecting the state of Upper Cana da, which• he understood •to have bean for Same time filled with discontentOswing to the miscon duct of the Governor. Mr. PERCEVAL and 114 SPEAKER suggest ed tke propriety of not entering upon any state ment on the subject at present ; the former, be cause his Noble Friend (Castlereagh) who must be best acquainted with the circumstance, was net present ; •he latter, on the point of order. Mr. MOORS said he would not have said any thing on the subject had he not been furnished with documents. IRISH PRISON'S. Mr. NIOORE nest, un the behilf of Mr. She. ridan., who was absent, gave notice for next Ses sion of a motion respecting the conduct of the In spectors of Irish Prisons ; and also of a motion concerning a breach of the Privileges of the House, connected with the subject just mentioned. Thu SPEAKER thought it irregular to talk of a breach of privilege, and to leave the matter at rest till next Session. MR. ATKINS. Mr. W. SMITH presented a petition from Bee. cher Westripe Atkins, some time Barrack-master in the Isle of Wight, praying relief. The pelt. Lion stated, that the petitioner had before brought his case before the House, upon affidavits, stating, that he had been removed from his office for hav ing exposed certain abuses in the Barrack De. partment. He had, however, got no relief, and wig therefore induced to apply to the House again. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Adjourned. .n FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS. STRALSUND, Jong 5, 1899. , TO 011 MAJESTY TIMM NG or HOLLAND. " SIRE! —I have already had the hlanour to iu. form your Majesty, that the troops under my command had made themselves masters of Stral sund. I have now to communicate to you the de- " On the 231 I proceeded from Lunenbnrg, and crossed the Elbe at Sulspreker, in order to cover the Ilasise Towns, drive Schell from Meck lenburg, and gain possession of Domn►itz ; or bring the garrison of t bat place between n►u and Gen. Albignac. This General did take Dormant, and afterwards-returned to Alberstad. " It being probable that the enemy bad made irnself master of .100 3 090 Poen& of powders and that he would repair to Stralsund, in order to defend himself there, I requested the Danish General Ettald to strengthen my left sing by a column of 1500 men, with which he cote " Schiff Was master of all Mecklenburg ; be had kvied iminceso contribitions; and raised a number of recruits. He possessed the country from Wismar to Rostock, from whence be bad driven the Mecklenburg garrison, and taken a number of arms and pieces of cannon, from 12 to 6-pounders. In the harbours of those two towns he had embarked his sick and wounded in 32 vessels, each of which contained 15 mess on buArtl, though they would hare held 200 a.piece : a proof that he wanted the vessels for other pur poses. " When Schill abandoned his post to me, he of necessity threw himself behind the ltegnitz, which war in two places defended by Mecklenburg troops. He formed a bridge at Darchaw, and attacked and took prisoners some troops stationed at Dant garten. Ile then proceeded to Stralsund, which he entered on the 25th of May. He took the French and Mecklenburgers who Were there pri. loners of war, committed the greatest cruelties in the town, and murdered several Frenchmen with his own Land. " Having delivered the whole of Mecklenburg, I crossed the !Levitz at Daingarten, and at 10 o'clock of the morning of the 31st, I, together with tho Danish hoops under Gen. Ewald, came before Stralsund. " Though the fortifications of the place had been razed, yet there remained a broad and deep ditch, full of water ; and Schill with incredible ardour availed himself of the situation, by cutting ' trenches across the roads, building draw-bridges, planting heavy artillery, &c. " The town was defended by sor 6000 men. They consisted of 1000 clvalry, of which 600 were Schill's regiment ; all the old Swedish de. serters, who served the artillery ; some foresters, and countrymen of the different countries he had crossed through, and whom he had compelled to go with him ; Prussian and Austrian desorters, and people of all kinds collected together ; and lastly, a Out of the Mecklenburg troops he had taken prisoners, awl who afteroards turned their arms against us. Schill had armed all his men with Gee locks. " Having, to cover my designs, made a false attack - upon the Tripser gate, I ordered the prin. eipal attack to be made upon the Kitieper gate, the hurn-ivork of which was defended by 18 can non of lafge calibre, and nine other pieces, which maintained a fire. I sintered a sudden assault to be made. Thu eth regiment, led by Col. Behr, .advanced first, 'and was followed by the 9th, uo. der Col. Wrier, your 'Majesty's Aide-de-Camp. ' Ile penetrated into the town, notwithstanding the i most obstinate resistance. " The enemy, houever, formed in the tows. They fired from the houses, and the corner of every street was the scene of a new engagement. Every where they fought man to man, foot to foot, with great fury. A part of the Dutch, and the whole of the Danish cavalry, fought with Schill's cavalry. In the mean while the batteries between the Trepsee and the Kiiieper gates conti nued to fire upon those of our troops, which were still out of the town. Further engagements took place till the enemy was drive!' from all his guns. At length, after a severe battle of two hours, the enemy was every vi here in flight, and our victory was complete. " The loss of the enemy is inexpressible.— Schill and 20 of his officers arc killed. Eight hundred were made prisoners. Every day disco vers more of them, who were concealed in the houses. They arc almost all wounded. The streets were filled with dead bodies. " One hundred and ninety-two of Schill's fol lowers escaped. Of these there ware 13 hussar officers, of whom seven had been lately appointed by Schill, 158 hussars, and 13 fusilecrs. These begged permission to retire to Prussia, which I al. lowed, and caused" them to be conducted by two staff officers. When (Rey came to the frontiers, they bound themselves by. writiii; to submit to any punishment the King of Prussia might inflict. " It is to be observed, that of the '26 officers who left Berlin with Schill, 12 have been since killed, and 7 are wounded or prisoners. [Here follow eulogies on the different officers, companies, Bfc.] 66 We have set at liberty some Mecklenburgen and French cannonlers. The 6th regiment has taken in the bland of Rugen a flag and six pieces of cannon, belonging to the Duke of Mecklen. burgh ; and at Stralsund sixty thousand pounds of powder were taken, which had - been sent from Denmark. 66 We have lost Lieutenant-General Carteret, two Lieutenant. Colonels, besides twelve commis. stoned officers killed and wounded ; 30 non-com. missioned officers and privates are killed, and 153 are wounded. " The Danes brie lost two officers and three soldiers killed, seven officers and forty-seven sot. diers wounded. " This day, Sire, has been glorious to your Majesty's troops. Had Schill obtained possession of Stralsund, and fortified himself there, it r ould have been difficult to dispossess him ; he might have raised contributions throughout Pomerania and Meckleuburg; and by means of vessels, which were here at his disposal, he might have been a dangc : - Jus pirate in the Baltic ; and, in case of ne cessity,' he would have even had the means of bringing the English into the Continent. " Schill was killed near the great square of Stralsund : his death has been well authenticated. Among the dead has also been recognised Colonel Von Molike, the same who summoned Stralsund. " Thu project of Seidl l was extensive. Ile had already declared, himself Sovereign of Pomerania, as yunr Majesty will see by the Proclamation he caused to be printed on the 3fith ult. the publica tion of which my arrival prevented. • " I am, Sire, with the prbfpundest veneration, Ste. . 1 . 1 GRAVEN."

IntotoilTl TENAIE. LONDON : MEDNICIDA Y, JUNE 20. In the absence of Iyuret.t.teExcE from the scat of war, at a crisis when the hostile armies on the Danube cannot possibly long remain in a state of inacti►ity, reports of battles and ♦ictories aro circulated, in rapid succession, on the authority of numerous private letters, vs hich find their way room the Continent to Heligoland, now become the very focus of Continental News. These ru.. moues might bo deemed utterly unworthy of no.. lice, were it not that they afford an unquestionable demonstration of the opinions and expectations of the people in the North of Germany.— It must not, however, be forgotten that the hopes of the inhabitants of the north of Germany may naturally be concluded to be powerfully in. attenced by their wishes. All reports, there. fore, ought to be received with cautious hesita. tton. That the battle of Essumo has excited a Ti new sensation on the Continent, cannot be denied —.fur if we are warranted in drawing a conclu. siou from the general tendency of the mass of private communications froni the Continent re. sheeting that memorable engagement...the public opinion of the irretislaility of the French ar. mies must be greatly shaken. Private letters from %rare!, Bremen, Flushing, Rotterdam, Cuxhaven, Hamburgh, and other places on the Elbe, concur in statements which mike the loss of the French, at Essling, consi derably greater than that of the pretended Aus trian official accounts. Indeed, to mention those accounts ) is sapertlnuus, the belief of their au thenticity has entirely ceased. It is believed that no official account of the actions on the Danube has yet been received from the Austrian Govern. meat, and except from French Cnlletiaf , we know nothing of the particulars of the battle of &sling, but what is collected by the reports that, having traversed the Continent, hare found their way to the places from whence these private letters have been received in England.—That these letters are numerous is indisputable—and of the fact of the French having sustained a repulse on the Danube —no contradiction is known to have been re. wired in any letter.—As to the amount of the , loss of the French—it may naturally be suppose! that in travelling across the Continent the tale would not suffer any diminution in its progress. —30,000 French killed and wounded-10,000 drowned in the Dannbc—the French cannon playing on the fugitives of their own aru►y-45 eagles-17 Colonels and 360 Staff Officers taken— arc the principal particulars. which have accunsu. laded by the passage of the rumour in Germany, —naturally increasing in its progress through the great extent of country over which it passed. --To these rumours no reasonable degree of cre dit can be given—That the career of NAPOLEON may be effectually arrested, cannot but be the ardent wish and hope of every Englishman—but the belief of every Report which either roaches ---or is originally propagated in this country, can have no tendency to promote our wishes. Of the latter description we conceive a paragraph to be which appeared this morning in a diurnal ve hicle of truth and wisdom, called The P05t....- " BrONAPAUTE, when he found it necessary to 4i retreat, adopted, as he slid at Jaffa, a summary " mode of disposing of his wounded, and great " numbers of them were thrown into the Da. " nube!!!"---We should not notice this most ju. dicious,--vcry credible, but ineffably conlemp. tale, report, were it not to chew to what an exquisite pitch of absurdity attempts to impose ou the credulity of the public may be carried!!! To the accounts of particulars of the Battle of &sling, are added reports of a subsequent victory of the Austrians—but of which neither time or place arc mentioned, except in one letter. which states it to have taken place at Latenburgh.— This place is to the South of the Rinnbt, in the direction of " Oedenburgh, the first country I town of Hungary," at which, in the 14th French Bulletin the General of Division LAURISTOS is stated t 9 hale arrived.—Now, fur the Austrian and French Grand Armies to ha►e been en gaged at Lasenburg, the passage of tho Da- Dube mutt leave been forced by the Austrians, and the French army retreated Southward. This account may be, therefore, without hesitation: • • - - .
