We have also received further extracts from th French Papers relating to the war in Spain, which are interesting, and will be found in another part of our Paper. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF I•Ora" NOVEMBER V. .The House met at three o'clock. The Oaths were administered to the Duke of Clarence, the Duke of Argyll ; the Marquis of IViuchestet ; the Earls of Pembroke, Ferrers, Chichester, Galloway ; the Bi shop of Ely ; Lords Kenyon, Hawke, North% ick, and other Lords. At four o'clock the House ad jourued till to-morrow (this day). A oother Courier from Benavente, which place he left on the Bth, assures us that the French had retired to lturgog, and that in Benaveste es sry thing was quiet; he also says, thus Courkfr had alreact!, been dispatched directly for Madrid, and halms that the defent 4of Swim in La Mancha was held to be certain, and that it was hoped (as wo have never doubted) that the op. porinne movement of Lord Wourco-roti, and all his operations will produce the most glorious result. The following Falmouth Litter, received this morning, states further particulars of Lord WEL LINGTON and Gen. FALMOUTH, Nev. ?5.

No accounts had been received at Cesium from marquis WILLINGTOIII, since those brought to England by his Majesty's schooeer Mackerel, which come down to the 3d lout. from Maeda. The Montrose was detained three days for the arrival of the Mails from the interior ; ben they did not arrive. It was said that Marquis Wria.rsureores head.quarters were 4* 4 alatimots. and that the army ender the command of General ' litct, . hasp nearly approached that of Marquis Wm:nacos, that a junction could be formed whenever it was thought Lecessary so to do; the French hard not approached centimes— , llis Majesty's ichooner Bramble, 10 pos, and the Deka of Kent packet, razialsed at Coronae when the Montrose left that place.

It seems a sad oversight not to have given to him the regiment of his late uncle. Gen. 'NOCK was a native of the Island of Guern sey, which, like Ithaca of old, small, rocky, and barren, has furnished many Commanders, naval and military, who have eminently distinguished themselves by their bravery and loyalty under the British ban ners. Gen. Bnocx was considerably advanced in life, and in his veteran appearance, as well as in the circumstances of his death in the field of conquest, might be said to resemble the gallant Aattecnossate. The custom among Ministers, of writing the Speech for opening the Session before dinner, and consider ing after, is of German origin. The ancient Ger mans never determined on any great work, without canvassing it drunk and saber. ABERDEEN, Nov. 21.—For some days in the be ginning of the week, a disposition to riot manifested itself, in consequence of a quantity of meal having been bought up last week, before it was exposed in the market-place, and the price thereby raised. By the firm and temperate conduct of the Magistrates, who, while they took every necessary step to pre serve the peace, declared their disapprobation of such proceeding, and their resolution to prosecute the offender,we trust that harmony is completely re stored—as the Public are assured, that nothing of the same kind is to take place hereafter. There was a slight depression of the Funds yester day, occasioned by a report that a considerable sub sidy to Russia would be among the first measures submitted to Parliament. Mr. Kfmatt is engaged eight nights at the Bath Theatre. Wednesday he commenced with Macheallt ; on Thursday night he was to play Rolla, in Pizza/To ; to night he is advertised for the Seraitgcr. King John and Coriolanus are both in rehearsal for his performances neat week. There have been various statements of the business which is likely to come before Parliament in the Ses sion which is to be opened on Monday next. We trust, that in discussing the subject of the IVar, and the State of the Nation, the following most important , Paper, which was ordered to be printed by the House A Corunna Mail is arrived this morning, from of Commons on the 16th of July last, will net be which we have taken the following extracts : overlooked.
