inquiry 'however, it was found,. that. the sum then proposed would not be enough.- Ca EEVEY reprobated .this second demand, and thought it should at least be postponed. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER said, there were mauy:demands from abroad, such as bills, which could not he taken into calculation when.sua a grant is proposed. The additional sum now demanded, would, however, he lievcd; be sufficient for all the objects of the • grant. Mr. ABEuCRO . MBY made, a-few observations si milar in effect to tho - se bit: the former Speakers, on the manner in which the estimate had been brought forward. 'The CHANCELLOR of the EXCITE9,I3ER contend ed, that instead of au inconvenience, it would tend to the accommodation of the House, us it would give them a longer time to consj,der the Esti mates'. Mr: WHlTBREAD , sOlcomplaineil of the manner in which the Estimate bad been brought: forward, aul commented on the circumstance of the motion of the Noble Lord, on a former evening, not hav ing been amended by the Chancellor of the Ex cheOer, though he now found the grant then moved, was insufficient to meet the-expences it was intended to defray,. and which,- it appeared, amounted to no less than 24,000,0001. in tbe yeal'. He could not help thinking the Noble Lord open to the' imputation ,o 1 negligence. He felt that he might be justified in doing what he be lieved he had never done, though almost con stantly opposed td the Ministers of the day in his political life, count the House out. Though not in the habit of taking' advantage of the thinness of the House, he thought he should, be warranted in counting; it when a grant like this was called for,' no notice having been given. (Here the Hon. Geptlemdnwas informed That notice lied been given.) ale was informed a notice had been given. This then was an itistance of negligence on his part, rtml he begged the Noble 'Lord's pardon. A knowledge of this circumstance would prevent his. connting the House, even it it had previously been leis intention to do so. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER asked, if on the. former night 2,400,000/. had been moved for at the same time with. the other grant, to meet any extramaii-Airy circumstances which might arise; would any-Gentlernan have objected to the mo tion What difrt'rei)ce did it make' then; that the - Noble Lord having on , the following day given notice of such a in:)tion, now came forward to move such a grant Mr. CREEVEY said, if this grant was merely called for that Ministers might prolong the. recess to that period to which they wished it to extend,- he, as he did not think such a sum of money ought to be voted to exempt Members of Parliament from doing their duty for a certain period, would take the sense of the House on the grant. After some explanation from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was not sat sfactory to Mr. Crcevey, the Committee divided— For the Grant Against it 'Majority . -20 Several smaller grants were voted ; after which the House resumed,and the Report was ordered to he received to-morrow. The Insil!vent Debtors' Bill was read a second tiiiie, and committed for to-morrow. Mr. WkAuToN - presented copies of letters, froth the Marquis of linekingham and Lord Camden, Offering, to give - up...part of the emoluments of their oilit,2s.—Crdered to lie on'the table, and to he printed.-L-Adiottrned., ' G OrPENBURC II MAIL. PROCLt,IqATION ISSUED EY THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER, DATED ST. . . rgTERSBURG, NOV. 15. • " We, Alexander the First, by the Grace of GOd,',Emperor ;end Autocrat of all the Rtissias, Ste. do hereby make generally known— " It is well known to the Whole world, in what manner the enemy has entered the boundaries of our _Empire. No step or means that have so frequently been resorted to by us for the punctual _ fulfilment of the peaceable'stinulations, nor our steady endeavours, by all possible means, to avert the iffectS. of a bloody and destructive war, haS been able to cheek his obstinate design, in which , has 'shown himself entirely immovable. • - With peaceful promises on his tongue, he never ceased. to think on war. At length, having col lected a large army, and strengthened it with Austrian, Prussian, Bavarian, Wirtemburg, Weg - phalian, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and POlish. regiments, who were constrained through disgrace and fear, be 'put himself in motion with this im mense force, supplied with vast quantities of ar tillery, and penetrated into the interior of our country. Murder, fire, and destruction, were his at tendants on the march. The plundered property, the towns and villages set on fire, the smoking ruins of Moscow,, the Kremlin blown up into the air, the temples and altars of the - Lord destroyed, in one word, all kinds of cruelty and barbarity, hitherto unheard of, at le - igth prove, by his own . actions, that they have long been laying concealed in the depth of his mind. "The mighty and happy Russian Empire, which ossesses every thing in abundance; awakened. in •t p he heart of the enemy envy and dread. The pos session of the whole world could not satisfy him, so long as the fertile fields of Russia still were happy. " Full of this envy and internal hatred, he re- Noised, turned, and ordered in his mind, all man ner of evil means, by which he Might give a dreadful blow to hor power, a total confusion to her ricimes, and bring general destruction on her prosperity. He likewise thought, by cunning and flattery, to 'shake the fidelity of oar subjects, by the defilement of the sanctuaries and of God's temples, to make religion unsteady, and to strike _ the national sight with follies and extravagances, - Orr those hopes he built his destructive plans, and with then lie forced himself, like a nesti.- lential and murderous tempest, into the heart of Russia. The whole world has, fixed its attention on our suffering country, and inwardly moved, thought they saw in the reflection of the flames of Moscow, the last day of the existence of our freedom and independence. But great and mighty is the God of justice ! The triumph of the enemy was of short duration, pressed on all sides by our valiant armies and levies, he soon discovered, that by his temer(ty he had ventured , too fdr,:` and that he could not, either by his vaurted army ; his se- ducements, nor his cruelties, inspire fear into the loyal and valiant Russians, nor save"himself from destruction. " After many fruitless endeavours, and now that he saw. his numerous troops every where beaten and destroyed, he now, with,the small re mains of them, seeks his personal safety in the rapidity of his flight; _ • " lie flies from Moscow, with as much fear and depression as he advanced against it with . pride and insOleiiCe. He flies, - leaving his cannon b..2hind hini, throws away his baggage, blowing up his cartridge chests, and sacrificing every thing that can retard the- swiftness 'of his flight. Thousands of the fugitives daily fall to the earth and expire. " In such manner does the just vengeance of God puniSh these who insult his temples, whilst that 'we, with paternal tenderness, and with joyful heart, observe 'those great and praise worthy 'actions ot our faithful subjects,. we carry our most warm and lively gratitude to the first cause of all good, the - Almighty God.; and in the next place, we .have to express our thanks and kindness, in the name of our common country, to all. our loyal subjects as the true sons' of Russia. By their general energy and zeal, the' force of the „. enemy is 'ought down to the lowest degree' of decline, and for the greater part, has either been annihilated or made prisoners.. All have unani7 mously joined in the work... Our valiant armies haVe every where defeated the -enemy. The higher nobility have spared nothing by which it could contribute to ,the increase' of the strength of the State. The merehanti have distinguished themselves by sacrifices of all kinds. The loyal people, burghers and peasantry, have given such proofs of fidelity and love for their country, as can only be expected of the Russian nation. They , have zealously and voluntarily entered rata the-hostility, ), raised levies, and have shown a courage and re soltition equal to veteran warriors. They have with the same force and intrepidity penetrated the enemy's regiments, with the same implements with which they. only a few weeks before turned up their-fields. " In this manner. the troops Of levies sent from Petersburgh and NovogorOd, for the strengthening of the forces under COunt Witt genstein, have, behaved them Selves especially at Polozk and other places: We have besides, and with heartfelt satisfaction; perceived by the reports from the Commander-in-ebief of the armies, and from other Generals, that in several Governments and particularly in those of Moscow and Kaluga, that the country people -have armed themsel7es, chosen their own leaders, and not only resisted all attempts at seducing them, but also sustained all the calamities that have befallen them; with the perseverance, of martyrs. Often hai=e they united theMselves with our detachments sent to them, and assisted them in making enter terprizes and attacks against the enemy. Many villages have secreted their families and tender in fants in the woods, and the inhabitants with acm ed hand , and inconceivable courage, under en gageinents on the Holy'Gospcd, not to leave each other in danger, defended theinsekes, and when ever the enemy shoved himself, fallen upon him so, that many thousands of thenrhave been cut to pieces, ,and dispersed by the peasants ;. and even by the women ; and cumber taken pri soners, who were indebted for their lives to the humanity of these very people, whom they came to burn and plunder. " So high a purpose, and such invincible per-• severance in the whole nation, does it immortal honour, worthy of being preserved in the minds of posterity. With the courage of such a nation, we entertain the most well founded hopes, whilst we jointly with the true Church and the • Holy Synod and Clergy, supplicate Guil's assistance, • that if our inveterate enemy, - and the mocker of God's Temple and holiness; should not be entirely • and totally distroyed in Russia, yet that his deep wounds, and the . blood it has cost him, will bring him to acknowledge his might and strength ~ Meanwhile we hold it to-be our bounden duty, by this general publication before the whole world, to express otte,gratitude to the valiant, loyal, and religious Russian nation, and thereby render it due justice. Given at St. Petersburgh, the frith day of November, in the - year •1812,. after the birth of Christ, and in the twelfth year of our ,reign. " (Signed) ALLxANDER." The Adjutant General Marquis Paublew, in forms us from Riga, under date of the 15th No vember, that having been informed, that the ene my was. stretilf,tVning' his right wing against Ja cobstadt , and !)tinahourg, he gave directions to• Colonel Ruclinger, who commauds a part of the troops arrived from Finland,' to march to Frede rickstadt, and likewise-ordered General. Lewis to make a strong recognisance, and disturb the ene my in his mntions towards Frederickstadt and Jacobstadt. The consequence of this recognis ance was, that DIIC officer, two snbaltern Officers,. and thirty-two p - rivates were made prisoners. On the 10th (22d) November, - .N.12 - ox• received orders to attack the town of •liiren;Lburg, from whence it was very easy for the enemy to make an inroad into the interior of Livonia. This was put execution on the night of the 13th, when Major Filatow attached ic.renzburg, and after an action of three hours, compelled the ene my to-retire in complete disorder. One officer, three subaltern officers, and twenty-six men were made prisoners, and three pieces of artillery taken. — r (Stockholm, Post Tedmanger, Dec. 3.)
