When it resumed, Mr. Hobhouse, with a deputatinn from the House of Commons, presented at the bar the annual Bills, granting to His Majrsty certain duties on Malt, Su gar. Pensions, and Offices. When the Members of the House of Commons withdrew, the sAid Bills were, on the motion of Lord WALSINGHAM, severally read a first time. The Duke of NORFOLK gave notice. that he would. on Monday, move, that the Petition, at present lying on their Lordships' table, which set forth a claim to the Barony of Howard de IValden, instead nt beirg referred to the Committee of Privi leges, should be rysst,)ot,ed for consideration to the 11th of February next."

I receive with satisfadion the assurance you have tieacin givers me, raid as the Ite.turation of Peace has b:en prevented only by the ambition and the unjust aggression of the enemy, I may rely, with confidence, upon the exertions which you have pro mised to use for the vigorous prosecution of the war." COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY-ORDNANCE ESTI- 14 A T-Is. On the mntion of Al'l', the House went into a Committee of Supply. When in the Committee. Alr.Calcraft said, that it was with satis faction he lama to informs diva, that the Estimates of the Ordr...nce Department were considerably de creased this year. For this he did not claim any degree of merit ; it was entirely owing to the con duA of preceding years, a large stock of Stores having been laid in. The great preparations on the Coast of Sussex having been completed, and seve ral other pirticulars unnecessary to enumerate, making a difference of rather more than 600,00'01. betwixt this year and the former one. It was also satisfaftory for him to state, that thet - e were further prospeets of greater deduOions, in regard to the Lines of Chatham, which were about to close; and the greatimpence of defending the southern Coast, would be soon completely finished. He also thought it necessary to say. that the great works which had been carrying on at Dover, were about to be finish ed, which womad also afford a prospeCt of a still greater decrease of expence. With these few pre liminas y observations. he begged leave to move, ••'lost 0 ie the opinion of this House, that ■ sum nut ex erre/hug .301,4061. ts. 6.1. be canted ioe deft - tying the m e mo s of Ills Majests'q mana tee. for the setae( Oahe year 1805, and not anewee.ly pros ,tie I for by Parham, at. •' root the sues of 26208;1.

The hospitals of this place are lull of sick and wounded French. who arrive here nightly by wag gons full ; as also at Majdeburgh ; the doors of the hospitals are closely shut, and no one allowed to enter, or come out. Contagious Fevers, and the White Flax, prevail to that degree among the French, in Germany and Poland, that thousands of them have already fallen victims! and thousands more will probably share the same fate ! Their troops in Mecklenburgh, Sax-ny, and other parts, are also laffeaed with a similar disease. From Hamburgii, Franconia, &c. a number of Physicians have been put in requisition, in order to be sent to Poland, to attempt to stop the progress of those dis eases, which continue to make the most dreadful ra vages. From Russia we learn, that Field Marshal Count Kamenskoy had been invested with the Chief Command of the Russian Army, for which purpose, he has received the most extensive powers. The Rus.sian armies, on the frontiers of Poland, amount to near 350,000 men, which number will be con siderably enlarged by the month of January. The exchange of Couriers between St. Petersburgh, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Konigsberg, is now brisker than ever. DENMARK, DEC. 21. The negotiations opened between our Court and the Emperor Napoleon have assumed a serious complexion, considerable preparations ate making in the duchies of Selswick and Holstein, as well 38 in the kingdom of Denmark. All the Danish regiments have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's notice, and cannon has been mounted on the sea batteries at Copenhagen, and the fortress of Cronenburg ; at the former place the number of guards has been doubled, and six or seven sail of the line, will, it is be l:tcd out for sea ; in the meanwhile our Court employs every exertion to maintain its neutrality, although it is known that the French are fitting out every mer chantman they find in the Prussian ports, to hinder the free trade of the Baltic ; to secure which, and maintain the pass of the Sound, are the objects of the above-mentioned armaments. DEC. SO. (Extract of a Private Letter.) Since yesterday, and to-day, various reports Lave been in circulation of an aElion having been fought between the Russian and French armies in Poland, in which iome state the loss of the French at wear thirty thousand men, while others estimate that of the Russians at near fifty thousand ; but the latest accounts from Berlin, which come down to the 28th inst. do not confirm any intelligence of this kind ; on the convary, the French army in Poland is re presented as having suffered so much from epidemic and contagious disorders, aggravated by the fre- Tient fall of rain, as not to be capable of undertak ing any offensive operations with safety. HAMBURON, DEC. 29. (Private Levu.) Yesterday morning, the Deputation of this City returned from Posen, where, on the 14th inst. they had an audience of the Emperor Napoleon, which lasted near an hour. Their mission seems to have been unsuccessful, although every persuasive was used to convince him of the great importance of the free commerce of Hamburgh, to the chief trading towns in France. The Deputies proved to him, by a list of acceptances, that the commercial cities of the French empite, re.eived, last year, no :ess than 20,000,000 of marks barter), through the immediate channel of Hamburgh. Notwith standing so forcible an argument, Napoleon referred the business to Talleyrand, whom the Syndic Door man followed to Warsaw, in hopes, by farther re presentations, to induce him to move the Emperor to be less rigorous to the Hamburghers ; it is said that Napoleon, in his converratim with the deputies, spoke very violently against England ; declaring, that the chief übjed of the measures he had adopted, in regard to their city, was to distress the English and their trade. The Italian troops quartered in this city were em barked for Harburgh, in lianover, the day before yesterday, being replaced by a bataillon of Dutch troops that arrived the preceding day, which have since been increased to 1,100 men, and this num ber is expeded to be still augmented ; they will, it is said, remain here two months, and a part of them is to form the garrison of Lubeck, whose Com mandant, Gencral Buget, has received orders to march to Poland, with the two batallions of Italian troops under his command ; many of the troops here are ill of fevers, and are immediately removed to the great hospital without the city. A house has been prepared for the receotion of the unfortunate Duke of Mecklenburgh Schwerin, who is expeded here. IMANDINSURGII. DEC. £3. A traveller of distintlios, who bas just arrived from the head•sluartere of the Emperor Napoleon, ►rings th..- sews, that a decisive battle was to take place to-day or to-morrow, between the Rutsln t and Frencli ; every thing was ready for this ptir. pose. The Russians have occupied a very strong position. Tke Emperor set cut with the utmost expedition f,r Thorn, where almoa all the Fren e k army was colleted since the Ilth. It is not, hoe. ever, thought, that this battle can be 83 near at hand. Several vessels laden with arms, ammu:,,. tion, etc. set out to-day, under an escort hest Berlin for Posen. Central Ouclinu sets out to-day or to-morrow, for the same place. nrc. 50. We learn that Napoleon arrived at Warsaw e l the 19th instant, wise , - Prince Murat was confiaed to his bed, by a cold and fever. The French have rebuilt the bridge over the Vis. tula, and established hie du pouts on the Bog, t h e Narew, and at thorn. whic!, later place surrenzlsr. ed on the 7th inst. Skirmishes daily take place be tween the Russian and French out-posts on the Narew, in which the success is alternate. Tie Cossacks are said to have a decided superiority over the French horse. Kosciusko, who left Paris on the 15th, was e x , peeled, by the beginning of January, to put himself at the head of the Polish Confederation. General Bcnningsen, with 73,000 men, retreating before the French to the Narew, destroys all the provisions, and takes with him all those Poles wts are able to serve in the army, so that the wh-:e country between Praga and Putusk, oa the Nitre% is made a complete desolate waste. In the hosci. tals at Warsaw, great numbers of soldiers and oS cets die daily of the flax, and other diseases, one of which is accompanied with a general leprosy. and fre:id cfluvia of putrid matter, from all parts of the body, and is deemed incurable. FROM THE HAMEURCH CORRE OF DECKMBFR 29. PIITEII.S2LIROD. On the 28th Nov. Field-Marshal Count Kan.a4- skoy set out from this city for the army. Another Imperial Ukase, relative to the reernh. ui the army, has been published here, altering the number of recruits to be raised, from foar to five out of every 50u souls, and to be taken to the age of 36. PRESBVIGit, DEC. 13. Advices have been received here, that ;':e kvt. sins, 50,000 strong, h..ve taken possession of SW. davia and Walachia, as friends and allies of the Sublime Porte , that they have advmced as far u Widdin, and united with the Serv;ang, who are about 40,000 strong, under the command of Czerni George. Accounts from Warsaw, of the I st of December, say, at General Beningsen, who commands 73,000 men, bad then his head.quarters at Pulstusk, ii Russian Polank beyond the Vistula, on the Nailer. The King of Prussia had been these eight days laefo::. TONICINOII4, DM 30. . . All private letters from the neighbourhood of the French armies, agree in representing the scar. city and sickness which reigns amongst them, to be extreme. The Empress Josephine, and the Queen of Holland, have, it seems, flAd from the contagion. General Benningsen, with SO,OGO men, is near Warsaw, harassing the French, whose misery and distress give them no stomach for fighting; in truth, we are assured from all quarters, that the af fairs of Napoleon are desperate. BANKS GE TIII MAINE, DEC. 20. The account of the surrender of Cattarn, acciar,!. ing to the latest letters from Trieste, is not con• firmed ; the Russians and Cattaresa still maintain themselves there. Hitherto only one Prussian fortress in Silesia has fallen, viz. Grossglogat.; those still in possession of the Prussians are Breslau, Schtveidnetz, Silberberg, Glatz, Breig, and Cosel. In Russia, according to the Public Journals, above 100,000 recruits have been raised, since the issuing of the last Ukaise, and the greatest military preparations are making throughout the country. It is worthy of remark, that the troops of the Rhenish Confederation form a middle line, the front and rear of which are covered or secured by Frenab troops, as certain 'points are assigned them to oc cupy. The two principal corps of Bavarian and Wurtemberg troops are in Silesia. The troops of the Prince Primate are at Erfurt; those of Baden at Stettin; those of Wurzburg, Darmstadt, and Na— no, at Spandau ; and those of Bug, lsenburg, and Hohenzollern, at Magdeburg, &c. The eighth prin cipal corps, under Marshal Mortier, united witlithe Dutch!army of the North, occupies East Friezeland, Mecklenburg, &c. ; and thus forms the left wing and rear of the Grand Army. Several Hungarian regiments have receiveJ or ders to march for Poland. STATE PROCLAMATION TO TOL ISKASITANTI or 12[11114.
