The House of Lords did not sit yesterday. The Commons met at Twelve. weral petitions baying been presented. GlSNORNEbrought f orward the tnotien o f which he had given notice, for an alteration in regard to the manntel. w hich railway Bill s are introduced to the House. The object of the proposal was to authorise the Committee, on the petition for a railway Bill, to report whether upon any, and upon what, condition the stand ing orders in relation to such Bill might be dispensed with—to enable the House, where any one Member of the Committee (not being the Chairman) departed from such report, to take it into consideration, without refer ring it to the Standing Orders' Committee, and to enable the promoters of railway Bills to be heard by counsel before the Standing Orders' Committee. His object was to give the people an opportunity of knowing the reasons on which the Committee founded its decisions ; and without such knowledge their decisions would never be respected. He objected to these secret decisions of Se cret Committees, and be thought the Standing Order Committee should give its decision publicly, and should hear the arguments of counsel as to the matter which they were called to adjudicate. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET opposed the motion, as one likly to entail great expense on the landed proprie tors who opposed railway Bills, and who would have to employ counsel to appear for them before the Stand ing Orders' Committee. Mr. GISBORNE was sorry to find the motion resisted. Mr. STRUTT must oppose the motion, as its effect would be to place the Committee on Standing Orders and the Committees on railway Bills in opposition to each other. After a few words from Mr. GISBORNE, the motion was withdrawn. Mr. WonErtousE moved for returns relating to the poor-rates, highway-rates, and county-rates. Mr. ETWALL gave notice, for 10th February, of a motion on the subject of the Andover Union. On the order of the day for the second reading of the Public Works (Ireland) Bill being read, Sir T. FREMANTLE intimated his intention to bring in a measure to amend the system of valuation in Ireland. Mr. HUME opposed the motion, because the Bill was Sir T. FREMANTLE explained that the measure did not alter the existing law. Mr. O'CONN E LL would not oppose the motion, but reserved to himself the right of suggesting alterations at a future stage. After a short discussion, in which Sir 11. FERGUSON, Mr. S. CRAWFORD, Sir 11. W. BARRON, Mr. M. MILNES, Mr. F. FRENCH, and Colonel CONOLLY, took part, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted to-morrow. Sir J. GRAHAM gave notice that to-morrow Sir R. PEEL would move that the House, at its rising, do ad journ to Monday. Mr. F. FRENCH reminded the Right lion. Baronet that Friday was the last day of receiving petitions against private Bills, &c. Sir J. GRAHAM promised to consider the subject and state his intentions to-morrow. The House then adjourned. During the desultory and disjointed conversation which succeeded the Premier's financial, or rather com mercial statement, on Tuesday night, an observation was uttered by the Hon. Member for Finsbury which demands the most paramount consideration. An appeal to the sense of the electoral body was the vaunting as piration of the Protectionists, and it was in deprecation of this hazardous and fool-hardy project that Mr. WAKLEY expressed the opinion to which we refer. Before these, forlorn and misguided men venture upon the execution of a scheme which must prove not only detrimental to their own interests, but must absolutely place the maintenance of tranquillity among the multi tude in jeopardy, they should indeed calculate every one of the contingencies of their position. They should bear in recollection the vast majority of the mere con sumers of food over the cultivators of the same article : they should remember that an agitation as prodi gious as the present one will tend by necessity to harass the bulk of those consumers with a recollection of their having no personal influence in this great contest—of their being actually voteless, and voiceless, and scarcely better than political nonentities : they should never lose Fight of the cir cumstance, that a very powerful feeling upon the subject already prevails throughout every parish in the country —a feeling which would be strangely fomented lay any counter-demonstration like the one proposed. And after having duly pondered over these most important facts, they should seriously, and soberly, and con scientiously ask themselves, whether they are prepared to encounter the cries for cheap provisions which an uniufranchised mob will undoubtedly raise around their hustings ; or, in the language of Mr. WAKLEY, inquire of their own common sense whether an appeal under all these considerations " would lead to any other feeling than that of exasperation, and whether it must not tend to produce senqments most dan gerous to the peere ?" It is infinitely worse than frivolous for these agricultural gentlemen to close their e yes against the extraordinary evidence of the popular will which has preceded, and doubtless in some measure has dictated, the novel and generalized policy of Sir R. PEEL : it is worse than useless for them to become garrulous about the tenant-farmers and the yeomanry, and at the same moment overlook the legions of pounds, and votes, and hearts, and tongues raised in the cause of free trade and the League. They should never fur one single instant forget, that while they themselves are restricted to the support of a class, their opponents are of no class, or party, or nation ; their principles are addressed to man in the abstract, and are grounded upon the acknowledged basis of policy and justice. The question is not one of privilege —it a is question of sheer prudence ; it is not a struggle for perquisites—it is a struggle for bread, In enter taining, therefore, this rash notion of an appeal to the country, the Protectionists must reflect, that they ma. terially enhance their present difficulties ; or, according to the Representative of Finsbury, that, in addition to the commotion for unrestricted commerce, they render pos_ sible a revival of the disturbance about " class legisla tion." They have but one reasonable alternative, namely, to submit with dignity to the ordinations of time ; to sacrifice individual emolument to the public prosperity. . 'The mystery in which the plans of the Minister, for the abolition of the corn- laws,havebeen so long involved is at last removed, and the people of the United Kingdom may rejoice that the fate of protection is sealed, and that the most obnoxious of all burdens will in three years be utterly abolished. Since the memorable occasion when Lord JOHN Russnus. introduced the Ministerial plan of Parliamentary Reform, we know of no event which has excited one-tenth part of the public interest, or which will spread such glad tidings to millions of her MAJESTY'S subjects, as the result of the scene which took place in the Commons' House of Parliament last night. Sir ROBERT PEEL had the courage to hold out against the opinions of the majority of his col leagues; like a man conscious of the justice of his measures, and the infallible victory which they must soon obtain, he persevered in his purpose, resigned his high station rather than yield up his convictions, and at last, obeying the general will of the people, resumed his position in order to gain the most illustrious of all triumphs—a peaceable reform. He is, in fact, the author of a great revolution, which will have an immense effect on the destinies of the country, and astonish the world by the boldness of its principles, as well as by the liberal views which pervade every part of its character. The question of commercial reform we regard as settled. The Peers and the landlords may for a time rebel, or pretend to rebel against the Minister, but all the wise, all the pru dent, and all the able portion of the aristocracy know that their efforts are vain, and that in this country no class, how • ever powe rful, not even the first nor the second estate of the realm, can gainsay the voice of the people. That voice has been heard from every part of the land. England and Scot land and Ireland have demanded, in language that cannot be mistaken, the repeal of the corn-laws, and our statesmen, like prudent rulers, have listened to their voice, and granted their prayers. Neither party can claim peculiar honour for this great remit, for Whigs and Tories, and Conservatives and Liberals, and Radicals and Chartists, all have their share, and the leading statesmen of the two great sections in the State have alike vied with each other in furthering this noble achievement. To Lord Joins' RUSSELL, the brother of one of the first Peers in the realm, who is opposed to his views, and whose family connexions have so much interest in the profits from land, '‘very praise is d ge , H e prepared the way—at all events hastened the crisis; and by bLs open avowal of complet* . fmetiom in the trade in corn, left his opponent no alternative but to dare boldly and carry out his own firm ponvictions. The Conservative leader was not backward, and, to his honour, resolved to offend a second time his party for the good of the country, and to risk the hostility o f the House of Peers, tha whole landed interest, and every tribe of monopolists in a cause so just and sacred. But the conduct of her MAJESTY throughout the whole anxious crisis cc ou natTord only one universal theme of admiration, amt fur opolfe.the What t ra t b h le e )Nio s r u k l i t ng ml o g f ht ou h r ave c e o b n e st s i t tu s o l . .qt h c e ri P r i ro vi p o • e h f 'hero properlyadministered, The CWEg.SI made no dis t p i e n a c c t e io a n bl h e e a t n w d ee s t a t t N is V fa L c i t g or a y rtd a4 T tt o l r e y m - l e e n a t d o e f r in every respect she displayed a; l r e e r a so b t b i l t ec ie t sti vf on al , and the misguided monarch as a r G ig E htest ex ample as a limited SOVEREIGN, and as e th such an obstinate and bee noßo under i Or his aristocratic and selfish successor, with all his GE ORG E • i. tsdicess l aemanagement,againstnotth ithe great people, we fear to contemplate. t.T: e : and with such actors, we can con but complete success to the principles for which The Stun had long con tended,Steady, and unyielding advocate.

But this result does not affect the United Empire only—it extends over the world, and its announce ment will excite universal wonder in every civilized state. France and Russia and America will receive the news with joy equal to our own, and let us confidently hope that its effects will be beneficial to humanity, and bind closer the peaceable ties of friendship among civilized nations. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT). On few occasions has the mind of the public been more excited than at present. The great question of the cum laws has been debated far and near, the agitation has been universal. During the last week every feeling has been merged in expectation. " What will Sir R. PEEL propose F , was re-echoed on every side. From his speech of Thursday great things were anticipated, and never were the most san guine expectations more fully realised, nay more than realised. He has done what his most ardent admirers had not ventured to predict, what the lovers of free trade had scarce dared even to hope for. He spoke not of corn alone, but of commerce. He did not act for one class, but for the com munity. His speech, on Tuesday, will be an example to all future statesmen. It needed not the moving powers of oratory—it needed no adventitious adornments—it was calm, considerate, and comprehensive. It was received with breathless attention by the House—it will be hailed with universal delight by the country. It received as un usual mark of royal approval. Prince ALBERT and the Duke of CAMBRIDGE were in the House. The people have not now to learn how cordially their SOVEREIGN responds to their feelings. Were proof wanting of the sentiments of her MAJESTY, it is amply afforded by the event of Tuesday evening. Her MAJESTY was, of course, aware of the measures to be proposed, and the presence of her Royal Consort more fully testifies her concurrence than the formal " Je le veux" she will pronounce when those measures become law. The speech of Sir R. PEEL is thus favoured by high and low, and never did a speech of Minister or Member deserve at• tention more. It is not the discourse of a Right Honourable Baronet, it is not even the proposi- tion of a Government—it is the Magna • Charta of our commerce, the manumission of fettered industry. It is worthy of the Minister of a country on whose empire the sun never sets, on whose equal he never shines. Our flag waves over every sea,our commerce extends to every shore, — must we then be bound down in narrow limits, must we submit to paltry restrictions and factious rules ? Not so ;—the measures proposed on Tuesday night, which the House must carry or the country will, the measures of Sir R. PEEL are framed in a broad and com prehensive spirit which will render our commerce free and glorious, as it should be. His speech will convince all not too prejudiced and partial to heed truth, his plans must be alarmed by all who wish well for their country. Many have desired an immediate and total repeal of the corn-laws, yet, on reflection, they will acquiesce with the present arrange ment. In three years we shall have free trade, and three years are little in such circumstances ; in the mean time the duty will be greatly reduced—at present only 4s. instead of 16s. But not alone in corn is the power of protection destroyed ; duties are remitted or reduced upon articles too numerous to mention here ; above all, upon those things necessary for the people's food. Cattle are to be imported free, and all grain necessary for fattening cattle. No longer shall our labourers own "they know what meat is, but have never tasted it." Sir R. PEEL seems to have left nothing untouched ; his genius has been " universal as his theme." Even in offering compensation to the agriculturists he has had an eye to the general advantage. Among other things, he pro poses to facilitate the improvement of the soil. This is, in deed, a most necessary proceeding. The chief object of a landowner is to get money, not to lay it out—his land gives him rent, he gives it nothing in return. The farmers can afford nothing; they can hardly pay their landlords as it is, much less devote their earnings to improve the landlord's soil. And even if they could they would not do so; for, being mostly tenants-at-will, they are liable at any time to lose their master's favour, by a wrong vote at an election, or any act of insubordination, and the land is taken from them and the money they have sunk in it. Thus is the soil of England neglected, and by means of those who call themselves " the friends of the farmer." Sir R. PEEL will obviate all this. He proposes to lend money upon Exchequer-bills for the purpose of draining and improving the land, such loans to be arranged in a manner that will be satisfactory to all parties, and highly beneficial to the agriculture of the country. This is only one of a hundred salutary regulations having for their object the general good, and dictated by a wise and liberal policy. The great ques tion is deferred" for more than a week, but the time will not be lost; the people respond to the Minister, who only echoes their own thoughts, There are some selfish enough to prefer their own interests —let them learn that the interests of one are the interests of all. Yet reason is useless, they will not listen to the voice of the charmer; we must leave them in their ignorance. Sir R. PEELneed have no fear—the Housemust respond to him; f not, let him appeal to the:people ; there he is secure. Whigs and Tories, Radicals and Conservatives, will be forgotten; the people feel their national enthusiasm, and, as true Bri tons, will respond to the truly British measures of their Minister. We have received Madrid papers of the 20th, but they bring no news of the slightest interest. On the Bourse the Three per Cents. closed at 33%, and the Fives at 23 13-16 both for account. The Paris papers are almost entirely occupied with the proceedings in the British Parliament on Thursday, and one of them devotes not less than seven columns in small type to the debates. They in general pay high compliments to Sir R. PEEL as well as Lord J. RUSSELL, and some of them ex press the greatest admiration of her MAJEsTr's constitutional and disinterested conduct. "As to the Queen of ENGLAND,' says the Siecle, "we cannot too loudly express our admira. tion at her conduct. In a country where royalty is an in stitution, where parties of the most extreme feeling profess a kind of idolatry, we are indebted to the young female who sways the sceptre for showing that deference for public opi nion and that complete submission to the Parliamentary law of majorities. With nations less advanced in the practice of the representative system, kings have been seen to yield but in appearance to the wishes of the Cham bers, and raise unseen obstacles to ruin the combinations which they have appeared to accept. It has not been the same with Queen VICTORIA. In reading the letters produced by Lord J. RUSSELL, it is difficult to know what most to ad tithe, the entire abandonment made by the Sovereign of her prerogative into the hands of the Prime Minister pointed out by public opinion to her confidence, or the decision with which the deposit of such an authority was accepted. Certainly a people whose Government acts with such frankness is capable of great things." The France, after adverting to the speech of Sir R. PEEL, adds :—" This is a language which announces a very firm resolution not to yield to any secondary con sideration. The crisis has,•in fact, doubled the strength of this great statesman. It is probable that success will prove that he is right, for everybody asks what could be done if he should not succeed, and no &her person than himself would dare to accept the burden without presumption and mad ness." The following well-expressed compliment to her MAJESTY and the leaders of the two parties appears in the Journal des Debats. " What is worthy of admiration is the manner in which, during, the whcle of this great crisis, the two statesmen of England compre hend their duty towards their country, their Sovereign, and them selves. The spectacle which these two heads of parties, forgetting their rivality, sr only remembering it to turn it to the profit of the general good, only seeking, in place of exciting mutual embarrass ments, to facilitate for each other the task of guiding the destinies of their country in the midst of a most difficult crisis, is, we think, a spectacle unique in the history of constitutional Governments. On one side, we see a man who had emerged from the ranks of the people, and who, by the force of circumstances, was placed at the head of the aristocratic party, and on the other, a man taking his origin from the oldest and most exclusive of oligarchies, and placed at the head of the popular party—each aiding the other, and the Queen assisting both, in order that from this union might emanate the good of the people. That assuredly is a spectacle well calculated to throw honour alike on the Sovereign, the Ministers, and the country which presents it." The discussion on the Address was still going on in the Chamber of Deputies, but it possesses no interest for the English reader. According to a Toulon paper, several letters from the province of Algiers give grounds for believing that ABD-EL-KADER has once more succeeded in deceiving Mar shal BUGEAUD, and that after the affair of Temda, instead of retiring towards the west, the Emir went and made an attack upon the Beni-Zoug-Zougs, who had delivered up to the French BEN-ABDALLAII, the brother of Bou-MAZA.

The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain Lapidge, has just ar riyed at this port, after a very short passage, from Rio Ja neiro. We are confide , itly informed that she brings dispatches from Rear-Admiral Inglefield, detailing an account of the French and English squadrons in those seas having attacked and taken some fortifications about 150 miles beyond Monte Video. The French had 75 wounded and 18 killed, the English 10 killed and.l7 wounded, including two lieutenants of our squadron among those killed. The following is a copy of a letter received at Lloyd's this morning, from their agent at Plymouth : " IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE RIVER PLATE, BY lIEIt MA • JESTY'S SHIP CYCLOPS, OF THE ACTION BETWEEN THE COMBINED FORCES AND THOSE OF GENERAL ROSAS, PRE- SIDENT. " BUENOS AYRES, Nov. 20, 1845.—0 n the 28th of No vember, the Procid, French hired vessel, arrived at Buenos Ayres, bringing word that on the 20th of November, the combined Anglo-French forces took up their position at 10 A.M., the San Martin, bearing the flag of Captain Frehonard, leading, followed by the Comus, who, upon taking up her position had her cables cut through, and went adrift. One hour and a half elapsed (from want of wind) before the Dolphin could pass the San Martin, which she did inside, between her and the left bank of the river. The action was kept up with great spirit on both sides, until 1 P.m , when a shot from her Majesty's steamer Dolphin; blew up the Republica° gun-brig, moored at a tete de pont, above the boom. As the fire from the enemy's works did not slacken, Captain Hope manned his boats, and cut away the chain cables and vessels comprising the boom, thus allowing the steamers to pass, and take the fort in reverse. This service was performed in a most gallant style, Captain Hope being exposed to a very severe fire of musketry. At four P.M., the enemy's fire slackened, and carts were seen to be employed carrying away the dead and wounded from the batteries. The batteries were surrounded by a body of cavalry 3,000 strong, armed as lancers. At 4 30, the gunners and soldiers in two of the enemy's batteries were seen to run from their guns and en deavour to pass the line of cavalry. These latter charged upon them, and fur a short time a severe skirmish was kept up between the two parties. The gunners were ultimately driven back to their posts, and another attempt was re peated on their part with the like ill success. At six P.M. tho French Commandos-in-Chief proposed to Captain Hotham to land and carry the batteries. Captain Frehonard passed up the line of the enemy's fire most gallantly, and landing at the highest fort, carried it, and the enemy precipitately abandoned his position. It appears the guns had been worked in the enemy's batteries by Englishmen, Americans, and negroes. A son of Admiral Brown made himself very conspicuous on the ramparts of one of the batteries, and escaped unhurt. The enemy's loss amounted to 120 negroes (gunners, &c.), found dead under their guns, and about 400 whites killed, and the like number wounded. " English loss-10 killed, and 25 wounded. " French loss-18 killed, and 70 wounded. " Large quantities of ordnance and stores were found in the works. 19 brass guns were reserved, the rest of the ordnance destroyed. The Fulton, French steamer, had her paddles knocked away and her chimney cut through, besides 107 shots in her hull. The San Martin had 104 shots in her hull. The Dolphin riddled. Lieut. Biickdale, Satellit killed ; Mr. G. Andrews, clerk in charge. killed ; Lieu Doyle, of the Philomel, (From the Times.) PLYMOUTIf, JAN. 26.—This morning her Majesty's steamer Cyclops, Captain Lapidge, arrived from Rio de Janeiro which place she left the 23d of December. The Cyclops conveys very heavy mails, which were landed at 10 A.M., and brings the important news of the destruction of the batteries of Rosas in the Parana, by the combined fleets of England and France, in an engagement on the 19th of November, producing heavy loss on both sides. The Brazilians left 400 dead in the bat teries, and are supposed to have carried away an equal num ber. On the part of the combined forces the greater loss fell on the French. IMPORTANT NEWS FROM LA PLATA. (From the Brazil Courier, Dec. 13.) DESTRUCTION OF THE BATTERIES OF ROSAS, IN THE PARANA, BY THE COMBINED FORCES OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE. On the part of the English there were the steamers Gorgon and Firebrand, Captain Hope ; corvette Comus, Captain Ingelfleld ; the brigs Philomel, Captain Sullivan, and the Dolphin, Captain Leving; the brigantine Fanny, Captain Key. Captain Hotham, commander in-chief, on board the Gorgon. . On the part of the French there were the steamer Fulton, Captain Mazeres; the corvette Expeditive, Captain d• Miniac ; the brigs Pandour, Captain Du Parc, St. Martin, and the brigantine Procetla, Captain de la Itiviere. Captain Trehouart was the commander-in chief on board the St. Martin. On the 18th of November, the combined forces moore 1 about three miles from Point Obligado. In the evening the captains of the Fulton and Philomel went in a boat to reconnoitre the frontiers of the enemy's forces. They found four batteries established on the right hank of the river. These batteries mounted about 24 pieces of artillery, mostly of heavy ca libre, besides several detached field-pieces. The river itself was barred by a stockade formed with 24 vessels, bound together by three strong iron chains. This stockade was placed between the third and fourth batteries. At one of the extremities on the right bank were 10 fire-ships ready to be let go; at the other ex tremity, on the left bank, was moored the Republicano (Rosas's brig), armed with many pieces of heavy calibre, and designed to take in enfilade the opposing ships. Two of these batteries were nearly on a level with the river, and two others on peaks mote or less elevated. Lastly, about 4,000 men, infantry and cavalry, were posted so as to protect the shores, and oppese any landing. The works were very strong, and evidently under the direction of Euro pean engineers, well acquainted with the rules of art ; and the tenacity of resistance is to be attributed to the fact that the batteries were served by foreign deserters. . _ On the morning of the 20th, as soon as the mist cleared away, the combined forces formed in three divisions for the purpose of attack. The first, under the orders of Captain Sullivan, and composed of the Phdomel, the Expeditive, and the schooners Fanny and Precede, received enters to take position towards the south on the left bank, a little above the batteries, at above 700 metres distance, so as to take them en echarpe. This manoeuvre succeeded perfectly, and firing commenced immediately on both sides. The second division, under the command of Captain Trehonart, composed of the St. Martin, the Comus, the Pandour, and the Dolphin, took up a position towards the north, quite close to the stockade, and in ttont of the batteries, and at the same distance of 700 metres. This division was not only to attack the batteries, but also the Reptiblieft - s, whose fire took it in en filade, as before stated. Un fertunately, whilst the St. Martin was anchoring, the wind happen ing to fail the vessels which followed her, the brig was for a long time exposed to the fire of the batteries, and this fire was directed against her with a greater inry, because she was recognised as one of the Buenos Ayrean squadron captured before Monte Video The generous efforts, however, of the Dolphin to draw close, suc ceeded in effectually assisting the St. Martin by the diversion of her artillery, and by drawing on herself a part of the enemy's fire. The St. Martin had already her two only officers and several of her seamen severely wounded. The Comus and the Pandour had, by this time, come to take positions as near as the bank permitted, as well as the Fulton and Precede. to both of which Captain Trehouart had made signal to join. The battle was then continued with spirit on both sides. Although the enemy distributed his shot pretty freely against all opponents, his especial fury was directed against the St. Martin throughout the engagement. This brig had 44 men placed hors de combat, two pieces dismounted, her rigging destroyed, her masts ready to fall—the mainmast alone having received 11 balls. Notwithstanding all these disad vantages, she continued to fight vigorously, when another shot struck her chain-cable, and at length forced her to quit her position. A bomb-shell from the Dolphin at the same moment set fire to the Republicano, which shortly after blew up. The fire-ships were then launched by the enemy, but being turned by the current did not produce the intended effect. The third division, under the command of Captain Bottum, was composed of the Gorgon and Firebrand (the Fulton had joined the second division), had waited in observation at the distance of 1,500 metres from the farthest battery, throwing thence hollow projectiles in all directions. _ _ Captain Hope, of the Firebrand, went in his boat into the midst of the fire to break the chains which united the stockade. His intrepidity was crowned with the most complete success. When once the chains were broken, the strong current opened the line of vessels forming the stockade, and the Fulton immediately took ad vantage to pass 'through and place herself in a position higher up, so as to cross her fire With that of the first division. It was at this period that Captain Trehouart, quitting the St. Mar tin, which was totally disabled for further service, went on board the Gorgon to concert with his colleague Capt. Hotham. Thence he passed to the Expeditive, and made the signal of union to the Pandour and Proceda ; he then ordered his three ships to run aground at pistol shot distance from the batteries, upon which they threw a shower of grape. The corvette, Comus, came up quickly to sustain this intrepid manoeuvre. At the same time Captain Hotham disembarked with much skill and vigour 325 English soldiers. This determined con duct on the part of the two commanders, executed with equal bravery and success, overcame the last resistance of the enemy, , and decided the day. The first English detachment, under the command of Captain Sullivan, had been received on landing by a heavy fire of musketry from the enemy in ambush in an adjoining wood, bat the arrival of the rest of the troops, wader the orders of Lieutenant Hindle, quickly put the enemy to flight, notwithstanding the efforts of their cavalry, which were charging and ruthlessly slaughtering the English infantry. Captain Trehouart, having likewise landed with his men, shortly after joined the English, and took possession of the batteries, on which the enemy discontinued further resistance. On the morning of the 21st additional forces landed, and completed the destruction of the batteries. The gun carriages were destroyed, and the guns broken or cast into the river. Ten bronzed cannon only were preserved, and shipped on board the combined squadron. All this day the allied forces remained ashore without being in the least disturbed. It was during the hottest part of this remarkable engagement that Captain Hotharn wrote to his colleague, Captain Trehouart, the words underneath quoted—words equally honourable to the writer and tot r party addressed—" If the title of ' brave' has ever been dese•-tred, it is by you and your crews." "Si le titre de brave a ja ete =rite, c'est par vous et vos equipages. The engagement with the batteries began at 10 a.si., and lasted till 5 P.m., during which time there was an incessant firing. Fro m 5 to 7 P.M. the landing and the destruction of the works took place. The loss of the combined forces is—French, 18 dead and 70 wounded. Among the dead. Michaud, officer of the St. Martin. Among the wounded, the officers are—liello, same ship ; Vernet', of the Pandour ; Simmonneu, Expeditive ; and David, Fulton. The English lost-10 dead and 25 wounded, and among the former are two officers, Lieutenant Brigdale, Firebrand ; and Andrews, Dolphin. The Fulton has received 104 shots, the Dolphin 107. The St. Martin has been literally deified. Captain Trehouart had only one officer on board, anti half the crew hors de combat, or 44 to 96. The loss of the enemy cannot be ascertained, carts Wind constantly employed to remove the dead and vrouneli3d ; it must he considerable. 514 fT:I batteries only there were found 40 dead, 251 in one and 150 in the other. Belyate letters state that the neighbouring woods Contain many dead.
