II I&I befOie the House ; but he felt that theye weis? some papers, the production of which is „ccessaly, as without' them the House would fi:id itself deficient in information. Want of pro tection to the West India trade had been corn- , plaitted of, as 'also the insul4s tai which some of the ports in the West Indies had been exposed; from American privateers. Complaints were ge neral against the mode in which the war was con ducted on the coast of the Brazils and the West island4Yritirtieolarly Jamaica. -It was not his intention to anticipate ,the. discussions which Ought- take place on a future day; he merely stated` this to Austifytfie Motion which hi was about to bring forward. His intention had been to move, that there sbould be laid before the House an account of- the number and tonnage of vessels Which hall been taptured by the Ameri cans ; but he understood that none of the Govern mentlices, could furnish the Horse with such a . return It certainly appeared to him very extra. ordinary that the Admiralty should not have iu their possession 'returns which were so indispen sable, in order to judge whether a proper degree of vigilance was observed by the officers whom they employed. The only return of this kind was the List kept at Lloyd's Coffee-house, and it was Vcty imperfect. As there, alas not any such do cument in the ;Public Offices, the next best means . that Occurred to him, for putting the House in , pos , .;:r.sion of evidence on the subject, in some . tatmible shape,' was, to move for copies of those congNitits which had been made to Government on the score of insufficient protection to the West India trade: He hoped m objection would be made to sttcli a motion, as the Admiralty surely could neit, have any difficulty.in furnishing the , House with such doeuments.' He moved, '' that there be laid . betore this House copil:s of all Me morials and Bemonstrances presented •to the Ad miralty by Merchants, Ship OWners,, and others, • coraplainhig of insufficient convoys,, and want of protection ttl the trade on the coasts of America and the West India Islands, since .the breaking 'out of the war with the United States." Lord CASTLEREAGU .would 'only say a • very few words on that occasion, as he did not wish to an ticipate the debate which ought to take place on a subsequent day. lie was perfectly prepared to defend the Measures of Government, and to prove that the trade had been protected as completely as was possible under existing eilcumstances. He could not forbear from expressing his surprise at that part of the speech of the Hon. Gentleman, in which he seemed to blame the Admiralty for not being in poisession of returns of the "umber and tonnage of vessels captured by the enemy. If the Admiralty were to pretend to keep such returns, they would necessarily be sery imperfectand un satisfactory ; and would depend upon the vague information given by the enemy's ships. lie was • really astonished that aMember.of such experience as the Hon. Mover should call for such papers as those mentioned in the motion. The Admiralty daily received comp:aints from individuals, the subjects of which were, almost in every case, of the most frivolous nature. It was to no purpose to call for such a mass of useless papers, for it eel:- tainly would be extraordinary to put the Adminis tration upon trial from the memorials of private persons, smarting under losses incurred by their own imprudence. These memorials were, almost without . eXception,unfounded, frivolous, and vex atious, 'and a coraplianee with the motion of the Hon. Member would encourage. other Persons to ' trouble the Admiralty with memorials for which there was no cause, and would'open the door to the 'admission of frivolous complaints, which would, be multiplied "vithout end. He Would certainly give the ',notion his decided negative If there had been any neglect on the part of Government, there were persons in that House sufficiently vigi , hot, and who would have immetrately made it the subject of complaint. Mr ". limtitvo said, that he did not call for vague iuformation, but for . complaints made on the spe citic,subject of insufficiency of convoy,: and of na tal protection. The questiim was then put, and the motioti_ne gatived without a division. The Battle Axe Guards Bill was read a third time and passed. The Committee on the Ship Owners Relivf Till was postponed till Monday next. Mr. asvxs Gtpritt gave notice, that on this clay se'nnight he would bring for Ward a motion on the snbject`id fees taken by Clerks of the Peace, and Clerks of Assize.---Agjourned.

Intelligence from the frontiers of Beira and Tras4Ninontes.—lt appears that the . Frettell will evacuate Satama»ca, and entirely ruin the city, and large buildings. which served for hospitals and ma gazines for the Allied Artny ; this intelligence we believe because we know the since the 20th_March , the French have been sending toyalladolid all their sick and baggage, and all thane attached to the French party have,taken the same road, an evident sign of an approaching retreat.

LISBON, APRIL 13. OFFICIAL. DISPATCH vcom THE MARQUIS OF WEL ILINGTON, TO HIS EXCELLENCY DON PEREIRA FORJAZ DATED HEAD -CIAJARTERS, PRENEPAs APRIL 7, 1813. " EXCELLENT SIR, A The enemy continues almost in the ,same po sitions, which I mention -A to your Excellency in my anterior dispatch ;, and, according to the lest "aecounts I received, King JOSEPH remained in Valladolid.' Thy Array of the Soatithas transferred its head quai•ters trom Toledo to Madrid, and zdl the said army appears tc) 11 tireparing tor a sudden move ment'. . . Since 'Leut. 'General 'Sir JOHN AIURRAI' made the movement, of which I enclosed your Excel lency the details *vt tuy last dispatch, it appears . Marshal SUCHET has united alt his troops upon the right of the Zaear, establishing his head-quar ters in St. Filippe de Xativa. The division of Spanish troops under the command of Colonel WHITIINGHAM, had obliged 'the enemy's advanc ed. guard to, evacuate Puerto de Albaida, and I transmit inclosed, a' dispatch,lovwarded me on the 23d ult.* by Lieut. General MuttaAY, of the ac tion which Colonel DoNrart had, in copsequence of a reconnoissance he made ozi that day. *. This Dispatch has alrcady appeared, Netv-York Papers to the IFt ult. hate arrived, together with some National Intelligf:ncers. The latter mention that a specific proposal had been made by the Russian Envoy at Washington, to mediate, in the name of his. Sovereign, for a re conciliation between America and Great Britain. Some private accounts say that the, offer was ac cepted with avidity by the American Goverpment, the pecuniary difficulties of which disposed it to peace. A Boston article dated Abrch 13, says, " We understand that after It'eeping the subscription hook open two days, at all the banks in this town, 60,000 dollars were obtained towards the new loan of 16,000,000 dollars. It•is said 123,060 dollars were subscribed in Salem. At this rate not more than a sixteenth part of the sunk required will be raised. We this. day continue our extracts from the French and Gcnnan Papers. They do not add any material fact to those we have already communicated. It s way reported last night that Government lmd received advices that the French had commenced offensive operations by driving in the Russian advanced post's on the &de ; but we do not learn that any such ac counts have arrived. Amongst our extracts will be. found a State Paper, issued by the Austrian Government, for, raising a Loan, the preamble to which'is consider ed by many as indicating an intention on the pact of the Cabinet or Vienna to join the Allies against France. The langtiage however, used by the Austrian Court in this document is of La very ambiguous ; 'character, It cer tainly proies decidetily that Austria is deter mined not to aid France, but we think it points to an firmed neutrality rather than to 'au active. assistance to be rendered to the allies. Connect ed ag the Emperor of AUSTRIA is by family ties with nuortaPARTE, perhaps neutrality is all that can be expected froth hint, and this determination ,will undoubtedly be of great inpvtanee to the Thederiston of the Comt of Vienna to maintain f,l neutral character, being thus formally anounced, Abe allies are in this respect pl.tced at their ease, and can bear clown with their whole force, without any collateral check, or interrup dolt, upon the aruty of BIIoNAPARTE. We mentioned yesterday, that the Austrian offer' of mediation had been refused hy BUONIPARTE, and private letters from Paris state,, that the mission of the Austrian Ambassador there had terminated, and that Prince SCHWARTZENBURG was on his return to Vienna, THE KING V. CREEVEY.-4TE. BROUGHAM made a motion this day in the Court of King's Bench, for a new trial in this case. The Judges delivered their opinions strialim, but all against the appli cation, stating, that the privilege of, a Member of Parliainent could not extend to publishing ally Apeech injurious to the character of an individual.— Rule refused.
