Mr. WitimucAp yesterday, in the House of Commons, moved for ttle correspondence between they Marquis Wattansy'and Mr. PINCKW2Y, du ring the year 181 .0; and in the speech which intro duced the motion, he adverted to the petition of the cotton-weavers, and expressed in strong`terms his disapprobation of the present Commercial Sys tem of this Country, and particularly of the Qrders in Council. With respect to the distress which is at present felt by the, cotton-tpanufacturers, it is, undoubtedly, a subject of the deepest re- i gret, and most, happy should we be if any plan could be adopted to of them effectual relief; bui, in the present state of the Continent, we fear it is impranicable. It has been said, that if the Goverurnent would resc►nd her Orders in Council, BUONAPARTE would rescind his Berlin and Milan Decrees, and then the trade of the Continent would be opened. A proposition more fallacious it is alMost impositible to conceive. BUONAPARTE'S Decrees were issued before our Orders in Council, and therefore he cannot, with any, pretence of jus tice.; call upon us' to rescind our Orders before he repeals bin Decrees. It is true, he ai l profess to re. peal them. but that they are still in force, in . point of is. now acknowledged' by the Americans. /int waving that . Ccinside ration for a moment, can, any Man seriously seriously belieVe that if we were to reseuci dtir Wins in Council, BuosAvArris would sutler the Continent te be more open to ns titan it 'is at this * moment? His objeti, bis avowed object, is the dmatruaion of this . coon try ; and he thinks that by injuring, or, it possible, by , annihilating • her 'commerce, he, should in.: taro it. He will theiefore steadily ~pnrsue his plan, and whether our Orders in Council are in force or rescinded; he will never suffer us to hive say enmotunicvion with the Continent if he can premit it. Rut though the repeal of the Orders in Council would not atford any relief to ,the Commer cial Itttervia of this country, it would be of infinite *avant tge to P,U014 /tWee, because it would put an end to that ,elf.tretua pressure which prevails allover the Cynti , ient, kern the stagnation of trade, and be would be enabled to pursue his plans against this country with increased facility. Our merchants, our manuracturers would remain as they are at this moment, but the'merchants and manufac turers of the Continent would be in Egreat degree relieved ; the clamours against Buntisrsumweuld in the samedegree cease, and his reVenue would in t:ice:to. It is a painful consideration, that we are obliged to involve so many of our fellow Creatures on the Continent in misery, but we haVe no other remedy : it is only by making him and his sub jocts feel the bitter easels of his :commercial B ChemeS, [hit we can hope to make him change his system to inrds this Coontry. If we suffer much, they stiffer' infinitely more ; and 'there is every reason to bdieve that the general dis conteto which , rovails on .the Continent, from the total cogitation of tratio,' will force him tb a relaxa. tion of his system, and then uur commerce will of course he benctitted. , But the only way to bring about that desirable end is to make him- feel,. and feel deeply, the injuries he is , attempting to ittflia upon Oa,. It is absurd to talk of justice to Burma. rstrre, or to 'expeat be will be governed by those principles, whi-h . have been admitted by, all 'the nations of Europe, His ohjeEt, we repeat, is our 'ruin, and he will pursue it as long as be is able, with this difference, that if ee persist in our Orders in Council, and in the stria exercise of our maritime rights, he will find, that though he may and does Wound us, he cannot do it without inflitling a deeper wound upon his own subicEts ; and there fore lie may at lengih be induced to abandon a plat, of which Ire feck the inconvenience."...lf, on the other hsnd, - we abandon our Orders in„gouncil, `sou oor maritime rights, he will be able to per sist in his plan not only without incenvertienee, but sivtlr - advantage, and then it would be absurd to sup -1)0,4 ; that lie would not persevere. Besides, w h en people talk of 'our reiciuding our Oiders in Conn. 61, in the hope that BUONAPARTE wiII relaic his commercial 'restriaions, it should be recolleaed he has dislinctly declared, that he will not besatis tied with ite rescinding our Ordors—we must also, be sap, abandon our right:of blockade, our right of starch—we muss concede the principle, that free ships make free goods—in a word, we most concede eVery 1;11., point upon which ow .Navai Averiprty dcpend;;, and tioti trust to his generosity for such a ptutioo t t tr,ide as lie may ba phased to allow us I It is, th&efore, not trite, thit the British Goyern , ment can now relieve the commercial-embarrassments 's . nhsist, , hut it is taking the only effrctual nieans7to raeve them in a shois time, byforcing Avow.? kItTE so abandon his sehernes, from a con vimin that they are more injurious to. his subjects than they are to us. • _ . We.yesterday expressed our doubt of the truth ' of the extraordinary story from Sicily, and we now widerstand. that the 'fad was as ti;llows :»When Lord'and Lady Bore were . at Sicily, the ltaalth of he, Ladyship beiq in a very declining state, appli cation was made to MuRAT, for permithion . for her to fly the air of Naples, which ha; ben particularly recom:nended. After snin,ri time, the letter which we mentioned yestettlay wis sent from 'Naples to Sicily, addres ed to .Lo:d Burg; but as that No bleman had left the island, it was opened by Mr. DnummoNo, our'Minister, who of course conceived ti;at it might relate to matters of national import- Th 2 lesser, hOwever, Contained merely a permission fur Lady IiUTE to .visit Naples, and it concluded in *the following , manner " Accord par le solicitation du .

It is stated in svveral of the Private Getters which were received yesterday by the Anholt Mail, that the differences between klussia.atl France have been adjusted, but that 'ALEXANDER has stipulated for. the right of imp'rrting colonial produce into his do minions. • We knoW not what degree of credit'is due to this account ; it rests merely on the authority of Private Letters ; Government has hot received any official notification on the stibjed.; The i PttlNCP, REGP.NT, holds a Council thiA day at 111 Trvasaly instead 4:f C:4ll9ryhouse, in , order Iv give .visit 'ors, an , opportunity. of 'seeing the rooms be. foie ihe decomiions are removed.

The Anna Muria, Captain Magee, is arrived at Waterford from' Lisbon, which port, she left on the 3d inst. Captain Magee states, that no news bad been received from the armies for some days pre-! Vious to his sailing. Just before, Capt.' Magee sailed, a fleet of transports had arrived from Plymouth. 'T'i, troops, consisting of the t Ith' dragoon', : the Scotch Greys, and some infantry, were in . excellent .Conclitioe.

Th ey all g i ve the most favourable accounts 'of the disposition of the Spaniards, who only want a bead 'to set.them in motion. The British ar e i n grea t favour with them. Th e , escape of prisoners from the French was effeded by the good-will of the Spaniards, who clothe them, conceal them, and convey them ft OW place to place towards our army. The other day a soldier of the Both came in ; he had been taken with Lord lilayney—had travelled , all the way (tutu Malaga,—tould not speak a word of .Spanish—and hail only for his passport, written in that language on a small piece of paper, « this Is an Englishman." . DUBLIN:, Jthie 17.—A very serious affray took place ye4erday evening between the Police and a very large mob, which had assembled on The waste ground near the Broad Stone. In this affair we Understand that several of the Police, and some of the persons who were opposed to them, were dan gerously wounded. - This matter is, we Understand, undergoing the strictest investigation,;the prtioulars cif Willett we expect to lay ['elute the poblic in our next. On Wednesday week, as Isaac „Rose was sitting with a ►woman in 'a miner's cabin, near Castleton, during a storm, they were suddehlyoverpowered by a dreadful peal of thunder, and it ►s probable that the place was struck with lightning, since, when the t4ornan came to herself, she perceived a sear°. c.iiing fume of sulphur; hut her companion was bowed down and dead, though no mark of injury could be discovered on his person.

About eight the French . madelbeir appeerance s troni an extensite cork wood, distance from the village, advancing in massy columns' upon the right of the line.

Spaniards, on our. right: To- withstand this the Spaniards were not sufficient : the British were called upon fur their support, which was not long in arriving. General Cole's and Stewart's di visions marched to their relief in open. column, the whole of them I believe, like ourselves, during one of the most tremendous and destructive fires that. has ever been witnessed. What I mention at pre.; tent is particularly of our own brigade. I)uring our advance in column, the incessant and well-direetbd fire of the .French at titretrtiloWed - dbitarttrethy` our pout lelloNs. Of course, our object was totie- . ploy into line, Which Wti did about twenty yards in the rear of toe right of a amid' body of Spainards , who, wete supporting and returning the• enemy's tire with the greatest bravery.. We - inintediatety passed in front of them, and received 'a Most raking nod centinutd crow'` fire of musketry from 'a huge nod/ ot alleynetity's infantry, whose heads 'were settieely exposed above the brow tat- the 444 - Ai this time our. poor fellows dropped alto-111d brit ni every direction, In the tattivity of cite. o:ii,ers to keep ,the men firm, 'and co . supply thou ith timer affilnUnitiOn of the Lilco men, you could scarcely avoid treading on the dying and the cluad ; but ell .wait stillfirm. In passing the Spaniards the different regiments of our brigade were separated and fought alone during thereinainder of the action. Though alone, our fife never slackened, nor Were the men the least disheartened, though by closing to the right .we appeared to.be no more than a company. We still advanced and tired, 'and the Soniards moved on upon our left with the greatest, biavery. Just, befure this our Colonel, Major, every Captain, and eleven subalterns fell; our King's colours were pet in two, our Regimental one liad.seienteen balls through it ; ,many companies were without Officers, and-as the light - company was: twxt. to me, I could not . do' „ . otherwise than take the command of it, which 1 .did until it was, my turn to take up the shattered colours. After an 'engagement of at least four hours (whiCh was the time our regiment was acre ally engaged) a general shout „passed. drawn the lines, and immediately .after a:cry of ,‘‘ they run ! they ran !" Just as we mounted the heights from which th e y , had fought, we Saw them running over" the plain in the greatest disorder. Marshal , Berestind , . passed us 01 this moment, an d or d ere d* us to ha lt , upon which we drew up, and a shell, that was thrown from a great distance, blew up the horse of our last . Field Officer and wounded !inn slightly.— The French artillery that was cuverin their retreat, , . annoyed us most dreadfully o n tfo 'height, and we went under- the brow to count ournumbers ; tin, Was a lamentable sight. Vvreentereci,the &id with three Field Officers, seven Captains; nineteen 64) - - alturiii, and 572 men we appeared'on the field, one Field 9fficer,iviio was wounded, six Subalterns, two cif which were slightly wounded, the Adjtuartt, without his horse, and 118 men. Ul all the Officers in the regiment, another and'myeell were the only ones who hid not'sone scratch or shot ttirotigh our clothes ; we were in vain look ng for some hole to chew our brother Officers ; our anxiety to find one and our want of success created a laugh against us. Were we not fortunate, ruy dear Father, or rather, tan we besutficiently thankful-to Divine Providence • who Preserved irs citin& one of the.most. dreadful tiles of shot, shelliand tnuske!ri, that the heroes of .
