Majesty has sustained the loss of an officer who was an ornament to his profession, and was capable of rendering the most important services to his country. I must likewise mention Lieutenant-Co lonel Gibbs of the 52d regiment, who was wounded, and Major O'Hare of tht wth, uryortunately killed in the breach ; Lieutenant-Colonel Elder, of the 3d, and Major Algeo of the Ist Cacadores ; Lieu tenant-Colonel Harcburt, --of the 40t n, likewise wounded, was -highly distinguished, and Lieutenant- Colonel Blakeney, of the_royal to,iteers, Knight of the 2T ti ; Erskioe, of the 481 b, ;Ind Captain Leaky, who commanded the 23d regiment; Lientenaits',Co-• ionel Et. having been wounded during the preVious operationS t)t the siege. In ti,e sth division I.must mention Major Hill, of the Bth Casapres, who directed .the false attack upon the fort Pardeleras. It was ii 'possible for any men to behave better than these did. I mu , t like wise mention Lieutenant Colonel Brook of the 4th regiment, the Honourable Lieutenant Colonel Carl ton of the 44th, and Lieutenant Colonel Grey of the 30th, who was unfortunately killed. The 2d bat, falion of the -3311), under Lieutenant Colonel Nu gent, and the 15th Portuguese regiment under Colonel de Regoa, likewise performed their part in a - very exemplary manner. The officers and troops in the 3d division have distinguished themselves as usual in these operations. Lieutenant General Pidon has reported to me pat:- Ocularly the conduct of Lieutenant Colonel Wit- Hams of the 6uth, Lieutenant Colonel Ridge of the bib, who was unfortunately killed in the assault of the ccstle, Lirutenant-Colont 1 Forbes, of the 45th regiment . , Lieut-Colonel Fitzgerald, of the 'both, Lieut.-Colonels Trench and Manners, of the 74th g;meni, Major Carr, of the 83d, and the Hon. Major Pakenhatn, - Assistant-Adjutant-General to th e 3:1 division. He has likewise particularly reported the good cenduci of Colonel Campbell, of the 94th, com manding the Hon. M ,jor General Colville's brigade , during his absence in command of the 4th division, whose ,otidud - I have so frequently had occasion to report to your Lordship. The officers and meo of the corps of - engineers and aittlery were equally dis tinguished during the operations of the siege, and in its close. Lieut -Colonel Fletcher continued to di red the works (oot Wit hstanding that he was wound ed in ;he sortie made by the enemy ori - the i gill of March) which wer. carried_ on by Major Squire and Major 13urgoy0,. tinder his directions. The former established the detac ments under M ijor Wilson in the ravelin of St. Roque on the night of_ the storm; the latter attended the attack 'of the third divion on the castle. 1 have likewise - to report the god . cunduet of Majol June., Captain Ni - cholas, and Cap tain. Williams, Of the royal engineers. . Maj. - 2r Dickson concluded the details, of the ar- tillery ssry ice during siege, as well as upon for mer occasions, under the general superintendance of Lieutenant-Colonel Framingham, who, since the absence of Major-General Borthwick, has com manded the artillery with this army. I. cannot suf ficiently applaud the offii ers and soldiers of the Bri tish and Portuguese artillery during-this siege, para. ticulirly Lieutenant-Colonel Robe, who opened the breichii - g batteries, Majors niy and Holcombe, Captain Gardiner, and Lieutenant Boucl.ier, of the royal artillery ; Captain De Rettberg, of the King's German artill: ry, and nrjvr Tulloh, of the Portu.z geese. 'Adverting to the extent of +he details of the ofd nonce department during this siege, to the diffi&ulty of weather, &c. with which Major Dickson hrd to contend, I must mention him most .particularly to .our Lordship. The officer's of the Adjutant and Quarter-Master- Generals derartments rendered me every assistance on this occasion, as well as those of my personal staff; and I have to add, that I have received reports from the General Officers- commanding divisions, of the assistance ti,ey have received from the officers of those department's attar lied to them, the great est part of whom, and of their personal staff, are wounded. In a former - disvatch I reported to your Lordship the difficulties with which I had to contend,. in consequence of the failure of the civil authorities of the 'province of Alentejo to perform their duty, and supply the army with means of transport ; these difficulties have continued to exist ; but I must do General Vidoria, the Got ercor of Elvas, the justice' to - report, that he and the troops under his com mand, have made every exertion, aod have done every. thing in their power to contribute to our success. -Marshal Soult left Seville on the Ist instant with -all the troops which he could colle& in Andalusia; and he was in communication with the troops which had retired horn Estremadura, under Qen„ . Drouet, on the 3d, and he arrived at Llerena on the 4th. 1 had intended to cone& the army in proportion as Marshal Soult should advance ; and I requested Lieut.-Gcneral , Sir Thomas Graham to retire gradu _ _ ally, while Lieut.-General Su Rowland Hill should do the same from Don Benito, and the upper parts of the Guadiana. I do not think it certain that Marshal Soult has made any decided mo‘ement from Llerena since the 4 tit-, although he has pat roled forward with small de tachments- of 'cavalry, and the advanced guard of his infantry have been at Usagre. None of the army of Portugal have moved to join -him. According to the last reports wialch I have re delved to the 4th instant on the frontier of Castile, h appears that Marshal Marmont had est:iblished a body of troops between the Agueda and* the Coa, and he had reconnoitred Almeida on the 3d. Briga- Bier General Trant's di‘ision of militia had arrived on - the Coa, and B.rigadier Gencral - Wilson's division eras the cavalry, and Lieut.-General the Col& DlAmarante was ou his march with a Fart of the corps under his command, towards the Douro. I have the honour to inclose returns of the killed and wounded Iroin the 31 st March, and in the assault of 138dojoz, and a ielurn of the ordnance, small arias, and anitnuniiion found in the place; 1 send reinrns of the plomionsin the place by the next dispatch. 6isi. , atch will be delivered to your Lordship by my Aide-de-Camp, Captain Canning, whom I tiez leave to recommend to >our protection. He has illiewise the colours of the garrison, and the co- tours of the Hesse D'Arrnsta"cfst's regiment, to be inid at the feet ut. 1 - ! )ti Royal Highness the Prince Re- gent. The French battalions in the garrison had no eagles. (Signed) WELLINGTON Copy of a Dispatch from the Earl of Wellington, dated Camp at 13adajoz, April 8, 1812. MY LORD. It gives me great pleasure to inform your Lordship that oui numerous wounded officers and soldiers are doing welt. I have had great reason to be satisfied with the attention paid to them by Mr. .I‘l‘Gregor, the In: speCtor Gen era l o f H osp i tals, and the medical gen tlemen under his diredioos ; and I trust that the loss to the service, upon this occasion, will not eventual ly be great.

PIP ERIAL PiIRLIAMENT HOUSE OF PEERS. FRIDAY, APRIL 24. Counsel were finally heard respe&ing the Scott Appeal Causes, Frasers v. Spalding and Fraser.— Judgment postponed. The tar' of DARNLEY called the attention of their Lordships to the high prices of, provisions in Ireland, a Subjea which he deemed highly wonky the serious alteration of the House. He adverted to what he had formerly thrown out on the subj,.o A and the remedy he suggested; which Ministers had since_ found necessary to adopt, without distress would have becoine infinitely greater. thought it would be important to ascertain as far SI praoticable the quantity of grain destroyed by the distilleries, within a given period, applicable to the food Of'man. It was most particularly his iriren- , tion to bring this subjea,.uhich referred to the food of nearly five millions of people, under the consideration of their 'Lordships, unless' he found that Ministers were likely to turn their serious at tention to the subjed. His Lordship concluded by moving for an Account of the Quantity of Spirits distilled from Grain during th e M on th s of o,,lober, and the following Months, up to the present. In - consequence of this proposition, a discussion of some length ensued,- but of which, as well as of what subs e q uen tl y too k p l ace, , our very restrießal limits, from the press of variously interesting mat ter, confine us to a very brief and hasty sketch. Earl BATHURST reminded the Noble Earl of the very extensive importations of corn from Ireland. The Earl of LIMERICK was of opinion, the Noble Mover was not correa in his informaiion as to the supposed scarcity and high prices Of corn in Ireland, an d referred to some faCts.of which he was credibly and recently informed, which bOre out his inference, at least With respea to those parts of. that country. The Earl of LAUDERDALE and Lord HOLLAND. supported what f e ll f rom their Noble Friend, and censured Ministers for not recurring sooner to the expedient which be had recommended. What fell from the Noble Earl (Limerick) they deemed as having only a partial reference. • The Earl of LTMERICK spoke in explanation ; as did the'Earl _of DARNLEY, and after a few words :from the Marquis of LANSDJW NE, -the question was put, and the ace: unt ordered accordiegly. The Irish Public Accounts, and the Military Ac.. - counts Auditing Bills, and a few others, were brought up from the Commons by Mr. Lushington, and other Members, and read a first time. BERLIN AND MILAN DECREES. The Earl of LtvEttPooL, by command of the Prince Regent, laid a dopy of the Declaration issued, by his Royal Highness, inconsequence of the official report of the French Mnister to the efinseryati%d Senate, shewing the intention of the French Go vernment to persevere in these measures, _before their Lordships. This proceeding (the document itself is already before our Readers) gave rise to some discussion. • I.ofd HOLLANb - expressed his wish to know, whe Vier it was meant by the docuthent, that a yet; i repeal of all the parts of the -Beth() and Milan De cites, or- only of those parts which thost aOtted this countfy, or were contrary to the law of nations, should be. required, ere an abrogation of the Orders in Council should take place ? • , Lord LIVERPOOL expressed his wish to answer the Noble Baron, as far as the case would admit- It-waia matter of much dispute how far either of those Decrees were or were not repealed. Much of what the Noble Baron seemed to contemplate would depend upon the particular case, as it should appear in the proof to the Courts below, as appli cable to the Orders in Council. As to the particu lar question referring to a partial repeal of the De crees-in question, it would be impossible for him precisely to say, without knowing, what the parts re pealed were. A general abrogation could only be in consequence of a total repeal of those Decrees; b-it with respr& to any partial repeal, it would f,rai a question for the determination of Gwernment., according to all the circumstances of the case. Lord HOLLAND, in explanation, observed, that according to his understanding of -►he Noble Se cretary, a general repeal of the Berlin and Milan Decrees, was contemplated by the document in qaestion. The Earl of LAUDERDALE was of opinion, that from the language and enactments of the Milan De" cree, that of Berlin was ipso faao, repealed ; and, he - said, it would become Ministers to consider the distressed state of the British manufaatirers, with reference to that subject. Earl BATHURST contended, Ibis was by no man the case, as in all the communications between. tho negOciating parties, the Berlin D.Trees were equally referred to. CAPTURE OF BADAIO4. The Earl of LIVERPOOL gave notice, that ori Monday he should rnove the Thanks o(the Houses to the Earl of Wellington, and toithe Army engaged in the Siege and. Capture of ‘l3.iciajoz, and Mov ed, that the Lords be summoned for that dar.-- . Ordered. A short conversation ensued between'the Mar-o . quis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Nortelk, and the_ Earls of Liverpool and Darnley, in consequence of the first mentioned Peer observing, that an im -portant Bill had recently passed through that House (the Penitentiary Hou,e4), without due attention be ing paid to it. This led to no proceeding, as no motion NM proposed. Some further documents illustrative of the subjeft of die Orders in Council, as the copies of forriA of certain licenses, &c. were, on the motion of the Earl of Lauderdale, ordered to be laid before the House. The Marquis of DOUGLAS presented Petitions from the City and Port of G136g0.v, in Scotland, cni from the Chamber of Commerce, established in t hat City, and another from certain ship-owners, mann? facturers, &c, praying for a participation in thr,i' ra de to India; which being read, vas ordered' to lie on . the table. PEASANTRY OF IRELAND. The Order of the Day upon which their Lord.. ships were summoned, being,read, Earl STANHOPE rose to move the second reading of his Bill—For bettering the Condition of the Pea
