HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNRSDAY, JULY I. Lord STOPPORD appeared at the Bar and stated, tlica the King had been waited upon with the Ad dress of the House, in answer to the Speech of the Lords Commissioners on. Friday last ; to which His Majesty had been pleased to return, in substance, the following Answer : " , Gentlemen of the House of Commons, " I return you my Most cordial thanks for your loyal and dutiful, Address and I reccilie,it with . the greatest satisfaAion, as it contains the assurances of 'your firm and effectual stipport under the ardtidus circuiristances in which the Country is placed." This Ansper was ordered to be inserted on.the Journals. .A.

Henry Mildmay.— Ordered to lie on the, table, and to be printed. INDIA. Sir T. TURTON rose to .give notice, that he would, on Friday se'nnight, move for the . . prodation bf certain Papers relativ eto the Polygars. Being on his legs, the Hon. Baronet took .oceasion to advert to anOther subje6.l„which was intimately connected with that to whielt:his‘notice referred, namelyohe stable& of the CarnattC: Upon that . subjea be had, in the last Session of the last Parliament, moved for the printing of certain. Papers, which were not ready before the Dissolution, btit which 'had since been distributed among most of the Members, awd of course they Lad full opportunity .of becoeuivg ac culaipted with it. For himself he could say, that he . 'was quite prepared to enter into the discussion ; but as a - Matter of rooms) , he thought a Noble Lord (14'olkstohe) claimed the precedency; and as that Noble Lord's Motion required' some prepara tion, he conkl• not look for a full attendance upon the.quetitiOn with which he meant to follow.. He, therefore,could not fecl himself able to promise the introduction of the Carnatic Question in the course of the present Session. However, -if those who vi , cre imolcdistely concerned for the Noble Marquis, to wbons the investigation referred, wished to have thif question brought 'before the House, he could tell those 'that :he was fully prepared to bring it forward. Sir IVELtES LEY professed his anxiety to hive , this matter at once brought forward and de- Cidtd. He begged the House to consider the time in which the friends of the Noble Lord alluded to tseeo kept in suspense. For no less than six years this question had been under the consideration of the House ; and according to the manner in which those who undertook to manage it proceeded, it Knight be still six years more before they arrived at a final issue, during which the Noble Marquis and Ms friLildS Were 'to be agitated by perpetual discus .tiirAla, or rather by perpetual abuse. With such a consideration in their minds, it was of course the wish of all conne6led with the Noble Marquis that the business might be determined as soon as pos sible. If, therefore, the' Hen. Baronet was willing to prosecute the business, it was the wish of the Niuble Marquis's friends that he should bring it for ard at cm:F. Sir 7'. 7 URTON had no reason , for hesitating with regard to himself, for he was it, much prepared :o present as he required to be. But there was a pmeedeney due to the Noble Lord already alluded (Folkstone) which he could not . discard. He beLged however to have it understood, that be had en wish for procrastination. The word if, used by the Right Honourable Baronet, was by no means applicable to any part of his conduct in this trans tOr he had always shewn himself willing to preceed in the business and no part of the delay that lead oceorred was attrib i titable to him. ' Mr. Resirought in a Bill to continue the Ame rie;tu Treaty A. Read a first end ordered to be read a Second time to-morrow; as was a Bill brought hi by the same Gentleman, to indemnify all perions Concerned in illegally continuing the provisions of the late American Treaty Att ; and also a' Bill brought in by the Secretary at War, for securing with more facility the payment of the Pensioners of Kilmahlham Hospital. . Sir S. g 014113.?" brought in a Bill for making the Freehold Estates of Traders Assets for the payment Simple Comma Debts. Read a first, and .or r) led to be read a second time to-morrow, and to be rimed. Mr. atilnouss brought up the Report 'of the Ciststmittitt appointed.to consider the Speech of the Lords CO totmssionera on . Friday laSt ; and upon tie Resigution of that Committee beti* teed, that tr Supply timid be granted to hiS'Mipsty,4t was it;-•eed to; .and the Committee to consider of the 114 i l Supply I:ha ordered to sit on Friday licit . . Upon the Motion of Mr. HosmssoN, the Army alit] Navy Estimates were ordered to be laid before t if: House ; as were Accounts of the Exchequer Bills issued under sereral Ads of Parliament, and outstanding and unprovided for otethe Ist of:January :etst ;'together with Accounts of the .5 per 'Cent, Aonuities, granted under the ..Afis .9( the 26th of his present Majesty, and the persons who had, .n consequence of a certain At, signined their wish to be paid their proportions of -the , Loyalty Loan in oney. S'ereral Accounts relative to the Exchequer Bills tlid the Loy:llty Loan were immediately laid fin the table by Mr. Huskisson. NOTICES. Lord .cOCHRANE gave notice of his intention to Move;* Monday next, that every. Member of the Musi .: should be called upon before a certain day to communicate to the Speaker a true and thithful Account of the Posts, Places, Pensions, Sinecures or Reversions enjoyed by himself, his wife, children, or family ; and that such Accounts should be signed by each Member's name. Mr. COCHRANE JOHNSTONE gave notice of a Mo tion for thd same day for the produEtion of an Account of the Military Commissions sold from the year 1795 up to the latest date at which the same could be made out, distinguishing those Com missions which had been disposed of in conse quence of deaths ; stating the persons by whom the money for such sales had been received, and the purposes to which it had been applied. The notice of Lord COCHUANE was afterwards deferred to Tuesday. • Mr. ADAM gave notice of a Motion for, tomor row, for the produEtion of the warrant with regard to the grant of a pension to Lord Cullen, one of the Judges of Scotland ; and also for an Account with regard to the appointment of additional Sheriffs for Caithness, Sutherland, Clackmanuon, &c. The ~Learned Gentleman added, that as he was very well acquainted with the nature of these transac tions, be should take occasion in bringing forward those Motions, to state his sentiments respe6ting them. Mr.?MUSSON gave notice of a Motion for. to morrow with regard to Spirits imported and ex ported. IRELAND. Upon the Motion , of Mr. FOSTER, the House re., solved into a Committee upon the A6t for erecting Glebe Houses in Ireland. , Mr. Foster stated, that by the Act which passed in 1803", 50;0001. were granted for this purpose, but a clause was • inserted in the.Aa, restraining the Irish Treasury from the issue of any money without security from those to whom the issue was made that such money would be strictly applied to the purpose. for which it was legally intended. Now, as the persons to whom such issues were to be made were the Comtnis sioners of First Fruits in Ireland, who were men serving without any salary, and who would not wil lingly incur any additional responsibility, the At was rendered unavailing, and no money was issued. To remove this difficulty, and ,to render the Ad etfeCtive, by removing the Clause alluded to, the Right Hon. Gentleman explained to be the objet of the Bill he had in view; which would go to place the 50,000 i. for • the purpose of ereting Glebe. Houses, as much at the discretion of 'The Board of First Fruits as the 40001. annually granted to that body. The Right Hun. Gentleman concluded with moving a Resolution, that the Chairman should be direaed to apply to the House for leave to bring in a Bill upon this subjed.—Agreed to, The House • resumed, and Mr. HoEttousE, ob tained leave to bring in a Bill accordingly. The Irish 'Revenue Continuance Bill was read a• second time and committed for to-morrow. Mr.' C. WYNNE, adverting to the Committee ap pointed upon his proposition, in the last Session of the last Parliament, for inquiring into the State of Criminal and Pauper Lunatics in the United King dom, and the laws relative thereto, Moved for the appointment of a similar Committee; which was nominated accordingly, with orders to report, kc. Ordered on the.motion of Mr. PARNELL, that, an Account should be laid before the House of the ' Corn, Meal, and Flour imported into Ireland" or England, from the Ist of Oaober last up to the latest day at which the same could be made Out. VACCINE INOCULATION. - - Mr. RUSIUSSOLV ,adverted to the Order made in the last- Parliament,, for referring. the investiga tion of this very interesting question, to the College of Physicians, for the purpose olprocuring informa tion. In consequence of such Order, and of the diligence and close inquiry of the eminent body to which it referred, the most impartial information had been obtained ; and he was peculiarly happy to. state, that the value of this great discovery, that its efficiency in forming a complete prevention was fully established by the authority of this' eminent body, which from its . charader and the individuals of which it was composed, must be universally con sidered as incapable of being influenced in their in quiries by any prejudiees whatever. When there , sultof this inquiry should be laid before the House— when it should appear that this distinguished body had completely done their duty, it would be then for the House to consider the duty which remained for it to perfbrm—namely, what reward , was due for such useful exertions, and also what further re ward was due to the great and scientific individual to whom mankind was indebted for this important dis covery. After a few other remarks, the .tion. Gen tleman concluded with moving an Address to his Majesty, that he would be pleased to order a Copy of the Report of the Royal College of Physicians, respeaing the state of the Vaccine Inoculation in the United Kingdom, to be laid before the House. Lor4 IL PETTY was happy to congratulate that House, the public, and humanity, upon the benefi cial atfeeis of vaccination, now so fully confirmed by the high authority of the distinguished body to whom the motion referred ; and expressed his concurrence in the sentiment the House had heard from the Honourable Mover, as 'to the propriety of making an adequate compensation, not only to those, the result of whose inquiry must give satistadion to the country, but to that great man whose discovery had communicated. happiness to nations, and .who in order to propagate the benefit of his discovery must have incurred considerable expence and labour, - The motion was agreed to.—Adjourned.

'.BEESLAU, JUNE 17.—The troops of the gat corps of the Grand Army.entered on,the Ott of June, according to the capitulation. The garrison, consisting of 5:50o men, are prisoners of war ; and after having defiled before his Imperial Highness Prince Jattoms, began their march on the same day for France. - HAGUE, Juta--2b;:-:-On-the.-15-th-,-in the evenin , sixteen Ships of the Enemy appeared off the Coast of Zealand. The troops encamped were inime diately under arms; and continued so duringllie: whole of the night till the English sailed away. it is now known that this was no part of the English Expedition. .The Haerlam Courant contains the following article THORN, JUNE 6.—Toiday the first post from Dantzic arrived here. ' The Emperor, when at Dantzic, ordered all the trenches and batteries raised by the French to be filled up and demolished, and 5000 peasants - are now employed at this work; in, the city many labourers are employed in clearing away the ruins and repairing the damaged houses. The French garrison at Dantzic amounts only to 1500 men, but about 4000 are cantoned in' the ad joining villages. In Neufahrwasser and Weichsel munde there . are about 3000 French. The rest of the besieging troops had marched to the army. The head-quarters of Gen. DUNIONCEAU are at Nurhans.--(Hamburgh arnspond. June 24). H EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER FROM KOXIGS- BURGH, DATED JUNE Q. "*We have received very favourable accounts from the armies. The division of Marshal NEY is deteated and driven out of Guttstadt, where the Russians found great magazines. The French lost many men killed and more dispersed : 1000 were taken prisoners, among whom was Gem ROYER ; this happened on the sth. The next day the Rus sians advanced and (mined more advantages, so that on the two days they made more than' 3000 pri soners, among whom were two Generals . and 'fifty four Officers. The equipage of Marshal Nay ,is , taken, and the military chest. Leibstadt is, in con sequence, occupied by the Russians." EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM PILLAU, JUNE 7. I have just spoke with a person come express from Konigsburgh with an account of the left wing of the Russian Grand Army having 'attacked the right wing of the French on the 6thinst. and killed and wounded 1500 men, took 1700 prisoners, and made theM retreat two German miles to the west ward. Among the prisoners are Generals ROSENA and NE's', with all the baggage of the latter : he had just arrived at Dantzic with 20,000 men. This paws, we are happy to say, was yesterday officially confirmed from Copenhagen to the Consul here, except that Gem Nay, who is not mentioned, must have escaped, but his baggage is in possession of the Russians, who have likewise taken a considerable magazine. The Russians intended, on the follow ing day, to attack DAVousr'S 'division." On the sth June the Divisions of the right wing of the Russian' Army put, themselves in motion, and attacked .with tea: regiments, the Bridgeshead of Spanden, defended by General Fuenn,` with the 27th regiment of Light Infantry. The enemy was, repulsed. The loss of the French on this o ccas i on , was not considerable. T ihee h n e e P n r v in ts ce lo o s f s ,P n o m b o t t l i F te o L n i y lo o w i2 l o 6l . ightly wounded; At the same moment' two Russian divisions of c tl o m rps c , en wh t : L e attacked the Bridgehead of Lomitten, defended by General TUERItY, of Marshal SOULT'S the 46th and 37th regiments of the line. The French took itio prisoners, and had about 1000 killed and wounded. While this was going on the Russian Commander in Chief and the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE attack ed Marshal Nay, and were defeated. On the 6th June the 6th Corps of the Army was also attacked by the enemy near Deppen ; the Awl,- sians were here likewise routed and lost about 300 killed and wounded. The Emperor NAPOLEON arrived et Deppen on the Bth June. By his order - the 4th corps marched to Wofsdorf, where it defeated they Russian division of KANINSKOY. The enemy was also dislodged from Guttstadt, and were care his positions in the vicinity of that t o w n can ied. On the 10th June, the Emperor NAroLEox or dered his troops to march in the direaion. of Hells biirgh ; they took several of the enemy's camps : the whole Russian Army was assembled at Hells burgh, and sent considerable reinforcements, both horse and foot, to maintain their position near that town; but the enemy was attacked with so much intrepidity and spirit, that he was driven from all his positions, and put to flight. The division of General BERTH= outflanked the enemy, and was cut off from the road to Lewisburg!). The Emperor passed the whole 1 ith June on the field of battle, and made the necessary arrang6- meats for a general battle, Which was ,to prove in the issue decisive of the war. The Russian Army assembled, had all its magazines there. The natu ral strength of their position was. considerably in creased by works thrown up by the enemy, in the course of 'loin- months. At four in the afternoon, the Emperor ordered General DAvousr to change his front. By this movement, the Russian Army, which had recommenced hostilities, was, as it were, blockaded its entrenched camp. Tt* 'nosh, determined otherwise, and r e t reate d to the lelt.itanks of the Ale, leaving 'all their maga zines and entrenchments to the conquerors. On4iet 'Phit Jude, et break of day, all the' Corps of theqranch Army put theMselves in mo 7 tion, in different divisions. Heilsburgh, and all the neighbour lug places, are full of wounded Russians. Their loss from the 50) OfJune to the 124, is irn , mense; titey left in the . hands of the French three to four thensand.prisoners . i . seven or eight stand of colours, and nine pieces of C annon . T he loss of the French is much smaller. • . . The Russians had already shown their weakness, by not relieving Dantzic • ,their retreat fro iu kieils-. burgh is a- fresh p roo f Of it; and nevertheless the' preponderance of England in the Russian Cabinet is so great, that notwithstanding that state of impo tence, she will not permit the King of Prussia, whom she sacrifiCes, while she at the saute time ex pcses Russia herself to dange-, t think of an a(!• vantageous separate treaty, which his Allies are alto gether unable to procure him.

SOLEM QUI/ DICI/Lll FALSVM AVDIAT L 0 N , THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1807. Tins morning the Mail from Tonningen arrived which was due yesterday se'nnight, of course it brings no intelligence respeaing the Battle of the “th. A report was _very generally circulated yesterday evening, and for a time obtained considerable credit in the higher political circles, that Dispatches had been received from Lord HUTCHINSON, representing the battle of Friedland as a drawn battle, in which, the loss on each side was immense, and stating that both Armies .had retained their positions. It would afford us the most sincere satislasaion to have it in our power to confirm that report, but we are enabled to state positively, that no Dispatches have been received from Lord litricuitisox, nor have Government received any Official Accounts whatever of the ' operations 'of the Armies.— Thereare, indeed, private letters from the Conti nent, which give a more ftvdtlrable account of the Battle of the 14th than what was contained in thts ' Dutch and Hamhurgh Papers ; but it dues not appear that the writers of these letters derive theit information from any authentic source. 'We must therefore wait for the arrival of Official Dispatchea. before we can estimate, withony degree of preci sion, the extent of the success of the French.-4 1 Int they have succeeded, we fear, does not admit of es doubt. There appears some reason to believe, that that report in the German Papers, of the capture of ko nigsburgh on the - ifith ult. is unfounded. We are assured that a letter has been received by a re spetable house in the City from Konigsburgh, dated the lath, and at that tune the French were not in posssession of it. But if the Russians were defeated to any thing near the extent stated on the t4th, konigsburgh must of course fall, as it is incapable of defence. We have not received any further details respect• iug the Revolution at Constantinople, bUt there, is every reason tb believe that it will be attended witti consequences favourable to Great Britain and Bu4sia. The Second Division of the Expedition, consist ing of tot Sail of Transports, under con - vok of tha Paulina and the Mutine, got under way, yesterday, from the Downs, but they were ,compelled, by calm, again to come to anchor.
