eetering upon iothenlepics, ' by au almost universal cry • explained, but teas in• admitted that the language for Yorkshire might be sei. _.v, our it was not unjust; he would repeat, that Sr J. C. llippisley had endeavoured, by every means within his power, under colour of friendship to the case, to destroy the Bill, and to frustrate the well groundedhopes of the Catholics. The lion. General continned for some time in vehement action, but the words to which it was adapted were not heard lo consequence of the disordes prevailing in every part of thellinice. Mr. CANNING said, that be logiw to the House for not adds reply to sc.me of the observations bat the renhi rks he had to mike would be stiffed in a future stage of the . - convinced, from the conduct of (Castieieneh), that he was n sincere, say an ardent friend, to the House, ahhotgh difierences might culls. points. Of the Noble Lord' , pot _ es. sistance he should always be happy to argil himself; an d h e (M r . C.) was perfectly ready, in or out of the House, to confer with the Noble Lord, and to com pare their mutual opinions upon this important sub kct ; where the Noble Lord was wrong, he was con vinced Ufa difficulty would be found in conceding the int, and where he (Mr. C.) was in - error, he would be ever happy to acknowledge his mistake,and to adopt the hoter ideas of the Noble Lord—[Hear, hear .9 Som.. 'marks that fell from his Lordship regarding the Vs- ~ he did not comprehend; but speaking gene rally, he should think it right to exact from the Cstholtrs every thing not absolutely biconsistent with' the tenets of their religion: while, however, we prof; , ssed to tolerate it, we must not wound it in the most sit'' part. With regard to a provision for the R.- nu!' Catholic Clergy, he was net so fully con vitce•il of its expediency as to jnstifY him in intro ducing any measure ; and he thought that if such piovi ,! were necessary, the proposal would much more fitly come from the Noble Lord, as a Member of his Majesty's Government. He sat down, re assuring the House of the cordiality and sincerity of the profession, that he should be at all times happy to unite o it;! Lord Castlereagh in a mutual endeavour to render this Bill as perfect as possible. The question was then loudly called for by all sides of the if Ouse. A division consequently took place.

FRENCH PAPEICS% VTEKNA, APRIL 21.—The Russians have marched troops ~p an the fr-rotiors of Bekowine and Galicia, • threatening upon this point the Austrian territory.— Their Generals have published along the frontier an order, by' which it is prohibited to all Aortrisn sub jects to enter the Russian territory. No more met.. chao,lice coming from the hereditary Austrian States is any longer 40 bn:• admitted. We are assured that Government has given orders fo. organising a new corps of reserve to reinforce the Army of Observation in Galicia and Bohemia. The Government likewise directs 1k attention towards the Servian territory. We shortly expect here Prince Schwartzenberg pn his return from Paris, and we are assured he will resume his functions as Commander in Chief of the auxiliary corps. This corps has had several skir mishes with the Russians in advance of Cracow. A Cadiz Mail arrived this morning, bringing the particulars of the battles fought near Alicapt, an the 12th and 13th ult. between the combined forces, sailer the command of Sir Jogs MuuAY, and the French Army under Sumer, in which it appears the enemy sustained a considerable loss on the latter day. GACETA EXTRAORDINAKIA DR VALENCIA, APRIL 15. The superior political Chief has received from the General in Chief of the Seoend Army, from his head-quarters in Petrel, the following:— " The enemy, with a force almost double, at. tacked, on the 11th, the division of Brigadeei D. Fernando Milked, 'which occupied tick, and ob tained an advantage, notwithstanding the bravery with which our troops, fought. 44 On the same day Marshal Sachet presented him.- self before Villena, and at night-fall cietupled the place, when the castle, in which wai the battalion of Velez Malaga, immediatey surrendered. " At break of day on the 12th, llarespe's divislan, which returned from Yecla, had joinel him ; and when part of the Allied A.-my began to march upon Villena, for the purpose of saving Velez, Suchet marched with all his forces with the object of at. tacking Viar. At three in the afternoon they pre sented themselves within shot of the English ; when, :is it was not General Murray's intention to main tain that position, his troop wore retiring, disput ing the ground uy inches, till' night put an end tol the contest. This not being conforetable to the enemy's plan, immediately that he observed the Allied Army was re-concentrating itself in Castella, he advanced his forces, and at noon yesterday, after having displayed all his cavalry, ad vanced a corps of 2000 infantry, with the idea of forcing the left of our line, which the vanguard of General "Whittingham's division covered ; but these troops and the English whom he encountered at this point, received the attack with the utmost serenity. They allowed the • enemy to approach to the very points of their bayonets and then charged, breaking the French column, killing, wounding, and making prisoners the unhappy slaves who composed it., Suchet having seen the result of his first at. tempt, was obliged to change his plan (if that was to vigorously attack the line), and reduce his operations to making various movements, and putting himself in retreat. General Murray imme diately ordered nine battalions and 1800 horse, with ten pieces of artillery, to pursue, who caused ter rible loss to the enemy's columns, which continued their retrograde march, beaten and fatigued. The allied troops are pursuing them, and I expect we shall obtain still great advantages. In the mean time I have the satisfaction of communicating to your Excellency the result of thopperations of the army during the last, three days, which you will be pleased to publish in your city and province. 66 God guard, &c. " HeadlOarters. Petrel, April 14. X. ELIO. " To Don V. M. Pattoo." The Regency Gazette, of the 20th, contains a long detailed acount from General Elio to the Chief of the Staff at Cadiz, which is in substance the same as the foregoing ; he estimates the loss of•the 'enemy in the attack of the Britbdilitie, citil the 13th, at nearly . 2000.—The same papa 411 contains a letter from Seu. F. Megaris, In ivhich . he states his loss on the 11th to be 300 killed, and about 1000 wounded, the greater part of — vifiamqati into the hand! - of• the French. He declares his troop, fought with The greatest bravery, and that it *was alone owing to the great superiority of the enemy they were beaten. ALICANT, APRIL 15.--Marshal Suchet collected 18,000 men, among them 200Qbone. Since his de feat he has been briskly pursued ; he has lost above 5000 men. Alt the Allied and Spanish troops hare marched in pursuit of him. The number of the ene my abandoned and taken by the 'peisants and-troops is great. Daring the action no prisoners, wan Made, because no quarter was given. On the 13th the 4080 my retired to Vier, in. the eight to Villeee, and since towards•Fuente la Higuere.

The' ay- NEM, _ to march, we know not distinctly whither, but we suppose forwards, to San Felipe de Xslion. Five Colonels, P. °teen, and 2000 wounded French have passed, kom Patios to Valencia. General vrogoded, I have been assured that he is dead ; I will net fail to sand you accounts when opportunity offers." Vez.st Hese°, APRIL $l.--A Colonel In the van. guard of the second Army writes as follows, of the date of the 18th We have already taken 4000 Preach. I lope seen to be able to send yen still more revolvable accounts." GRANADA, APRIL 22.—We are assured that se. vocal letters from Alicant state, that 1500 of the 'prisoners taken in the last action of General Murray •with Suchet have arrived at that place, and that the battalion of Velez Malaga has been recovered. Czntz, APRIL 29.—'fbe last accounts from Va. tench( are, that the enemy abandoned 500 wounded in Biar. Our head-quarters were in Alcoi ; the ad. ' , slued guards near St. Felipe; General Elie in IFuente la Higuera. .. • . . • Aram 94.—1 f we may believe some reports, the Vandals have again approached the right bank of the Tagas. The Generals ill and Morello have, how ever, made a movement, and it appears that its direc tion is towards Talavera. FR9M TUE REDACTOR GENERALE, OF APRIL 30. Seher Espoz y Mina writes from Lodosa, under date Ist April, that, on the preceding day, he had attacked, between Lerica and Lodesa, a part of the column commanded by General Barbot, composed of 1000 men ; of whom he took 635 prisoners, with 30 officers, the rest being killed, except Col. Gardin and three others, who escaped, wounded, by the swiftness of their horses. The report of a general engagement, which we mentioned yesterday, having taken place between the French arty and their opponents,near Lutzin, is not confirmed ; but from all the informatinn l a tely received from Germany there is every reason to 3E11)- 1 pose such an event to have happened. Indeed, from the language of the Treasury Journals, for some days past, and in particular of the Courier of last night, we marconclude that Government hate al ready received some intimation of a disastrous na. ture from the Continent. It is impossible to express, in adequate terms, our indignation at their conduct, in holding out to the public such absurd and extra vagant expectations of success in the ensuing cam paign. They must now, however, feel themselves sufficiently degraded by being compelled to resort to a language so inconsistent with that which they have for some time held. On the occasion of the Catholic Emancipation I Bill. being discussed last night in the House of Corn- 1 tuons, it may be said and hoped, that the Reverend author of Lachrynue Actilkatica had shed the last of his Lachrywe Catholicte. Dr. DVIGENAN had for gotten that his objections (the very same ,as urged last year) had been successfully refuted by Mr. GRATTAN. The Learned Civilian is certainly grate ; ful for the numerous favours be received from the Protestant Establishment, if . .his enmity to the Ca lthollc Church be any proof of that gratitude. He is Vicar-General.,to the Metropolitan Court of Ar , mei, as well As King's Advocate-General of the . iCtinet - of Admiralty ; Vicar-General of the Do ! cases of Meath and Elphin, and King's Professor Of the Civil Law in Dublin, &c. ; in short, the Doctor's escutcheon is as much emblazoned with places and distinctions, as is a chimney-sweeper's coat with gold lace on a May-day. The Doctor's Speech. of last night may be ooesidered u one which would' have been exceedingly admired ih the 16th century, except that, part of it which contains apor lion of black venom in it. Heavens! that a British orator should stand op in the House of Commons in the 10th century, and affirm that a body. of five or Six millions of men cannot be bound by an oath ! Upowthis point, indeed, we think the Civilian hes been guilty of little less than a libel on a Catholk prelate, when he sap, that Doctor MaNcn, whom Nreprnstots as the general agent for the Catholics in ' England, has maintained, that the obli. be measured by to— ender the Government, we put before Pensioners en the ti overnment, for ex clusion from giving opinions in Parliament, on a ny measure connected with Government influence; as this undoubtedly is In tbe most invidious degree. His observations, however, on the difficulties arising front the proposition of the Catholic Clergy being provided for by the Government, were muck attended to, as they deserved, But in this, se in all other cases similar to it, when the principle of the measurnis generally concurred us, the details maybe qualified and accommodated to the sallsfactien beds parties. We bare do doubt of tha t. Gemstone giving that satisfaction to the claimants which justice requires. The Bill, however, will have another ordeal to pass through. As a proof that the most sonny stratagems will be resorted to by the enemies of the liberal Bill far re. Bemis freedom, a Protest was inserted la an Irish Journal, stated to be the Protest of the Catholic Board In Dublin, against the 8111 for Catholic Emancipation. A more nefarious or a more impu dent falsehood was never attempted; but it did not ~ape immediate detection. The following contra diction has been issued by the Catholic Board s NEW CATHOLIC HILL. At a Meeting of the Catholic Board, held ht C. pel-street, on Saturday the Bth May, 1813, Sir LDSVAKJ) 8I LLLW , in the Chair: Resolved Unanimously, That a publication in the Balls jawed Newspaper of this day, purporting to be " 4 protest of the Catholic Board of Ireland against the Bill now Oending for the Relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic Subjects," is a gross and mischievous fabrication, and (like a recent forgery of the 'faird Part o' the Penal Laws which aggrieve the Cotholica of Ireland, issuing from the hired presss, and from the office of the above-meationed Print) is calculated to excite animosity awl hatred against the Catholic people of Ireland. • EDWARD BELLEW, Chairman.

DRURY-LANK THEATRE.—Latt night, a Piece in Two Acts, entitled The Russian, was performed for the first time, at this Theatre. The tad of the Don cossack, appears to have given birth to this flimsy production. A Russian town laid in ashes by the French, and the 4rrival of the British sub. scriptions to rebuild it, furnish a fine field for com. pliments to Russian courage and British generosity. There were, of coarse, ,CIUp traps in abundance; and with a very friendly audience, they could not fail to tell well. 'The points are those to which the public mind is alive, and can only catch for the mo ment. A Piece of this character is not, therefore, a fair subject of criticism. Its most legitimate re.. commendation is its scenery. which affords some very picturesque and interesting views. • A very unfortunate circumstance happened yesters day, at the Marshalsea Prison, in the Borough : The roof of a very large building, formerly occu pied as part of the establishment *f Catvert's brewery, fell in, owing to the , decayed State of the tinsh , rs, which forced the boundary wall of the prison down, killed one man (a prisoner), broke the legs and thighs of another (who cannot possibly live), aud slightly hurt some others. FALMOUTH, MAY 11.---Attita the /Vimpl; packet, with a mail from Cadiz, in ten days, by bee we lexrn, that General M urray ;defeated Sachet, on. t'li 11th ultimo, near "Alicant, with the loss of 5000 men killed, wounded, and prisoners. The lose on our part is stated at eight hundred Suchet, previous to his defeat, had surprised a body df Spanish troops, and took some of them prison ers. Also the Carteret packet, with a Meil from Surinam, last from Guadeloupe in 49 days; she it put under quarantine, in oonsequeoce of having had communication with a British frigate, from Gibraltar, out of which she, took Captain Caddy, late of the Nary Ann packet, The Carteret has been due since the pith April, and rev ported to have been taken by the Essex, American frigate; she brings a eonivatation of the Primes* Charlotte packet having beat of an American prig vareer, after an action whisk lasted,. at Intervals, four days.

The same day I received an order to make a journey to Bayreuth, whither I immediately proceeded. Last night I re turned here. " The position of the enemy's armies is such,• that it is impossible, for' an instant, to doubt the most happy success to t►e French armies. Misunder standing strongly prevails between the Russian and Prussia' , Generals—Messrs. Stein and llardenberg have embroiled themselves. M. De Stein wished that Genera D' Yorck should he subject to General Witt genstein's orders, whilst Itardenberg wished that D' Yorck should command all the Prassians,with the eiception of those which came from, Silesia. The King of Prussia has done his utmost to reconcile Ge nerals Wittgenstein and Torck bqt to little pur pose." LAyseawar-Ifousz.—The particulars of the act ciJent that happened at Lansdowne-noose, on Tues. lday, me understand to be, that while Lord GOWER, Mr. Stu MT, Rad another Gentleman, were dining with the Marquis and •Marchiooess of LANSDOWNE, part of the elaborately carved ceiling fell on the table, destroying that and every thing on it.
