jnne t« take *ha^e of the defeated Spanish army of
40,000 men, wrfh whom it was hoped’he would
»t»p the progress of the French.
There was a report at Cadiz, which came by
the way of Gibraltar, and which was, thought very
probable, that Buonaparte had ordered 80,000 of
his truops from Italy into Spain.
The FrencfcIM been successful in the ptoviuce of
Catalonia ; affflru was exported they wonld be able
to possess themselves of the province of' Valencia,
as they were getting possession of the different ports
on its roasts.
A number of Spanish ships of the line were at
Cadiz; several frigates had been fitted out, and
oailed for Mexico, &c.
Commodore Purvis was still in the Atlas at Ca
diz—Ten sail of the line were expected, and ten
snore would he off that station, to act as occasion
might require; and who will, no doubt, prevent
the Spaniards giving up Cadiz. Another great ob
ject is, the taking care of the Spanish and French
fleets laying there, in case the French should be
successful.
The besVinformed persons in Cadiz, think Spain
must soon fall, as she has not now any troops that
she can depend upon; and the English are very
much dissatisfied with the conduct of the Spanish
government, so that little can be expected from
them.
The passes of the Sierra Morenaare now the only
fcariier to the Freuch, yet they are strong, and
may he held with a lew faithful troops—If the
french pass, the whole of Audelusia must fall.
Tran»Utions from Cadiz papers to the 7th December.
Cadiz, Derembei I.— There are daily arriving
at the Sierra soldiers who had been missing from
the army «i the centre, whose head-quarters conti
nue in Carolina. It appears that after the action
•f Oranit, several eoips proceeded towards Cuenca,
Murcia, and Valencia. The enemy has advanced
as far as Dunicl to observe our motions. It is be
yond doubt that they have suffered infinitely in that
battle : our loss was not sn considerable as we at
first imagineiyygnd according to an official letter
written on tMnRd of last month to the Supreme
Junta ol J im. tiy out ol Us members, who aUo be
lungas'ito the Junta, of the def-nce established in
Re ICftoImn, our lo*s in killed and wounded is a
bout 2000, and they together with the prisoners
and the missing, amounted at that period lo h5s
tnen one fourth of the army ; although the nunihtr
of the miMiog, he adds, c.xrseds that ol all tile
others.
They write from Seville, that the trains of artil
lery ai d military chest were wi;h the army ; that
the grea"r p >rt of the army had again lorrntd *
junction, and was daily receiving reinforcements ;
oil likewise agree in stating that the action was
bloody, and that at the moment when wa were a
bout to gii'n the laeiel of victory, the dispersion
began. We cannot account for that rirctmistance,
which is astomsning to every reflecting man. The
French have published tin account of the action
with their usual exaggerations, saying that /they
lost only 300 mm, and making oar loss amount to
17,000, together with artillery, stores, &c. [We
observe no other particulars in the Spanish' papers,
of the battle of Ocena; which place is about 15
leagues from Madrid.]—Edit.
Our van :s in Maacanuret, and in Guid'd Real
there ;s a corps of observation for the purpose of
preventing the tie ursions of the enemy.
The last accounts from the duke &cl Parque are
from Pierira Gita, it appears that he had pursued
the enemy, who lied, leaving in our pnssessiuu 1000
muskets and some stores.
Dee. 5.—The army of La Mancha has descend
ed to the plains, and the van and out posts continue
in the same positions ; it is daily receiving rein

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, January iff.
Several reports, regulation* and private petitions
were presented and referred.
Mr. Moseley from the committee on the petition
of Daniel Pemboije, praying to be employed to
I warm the hall of the house of representatives win.
his rariN ing air clove, reported that the prayer oi
the petitioner is reasonable, and that measures ought
to he taken to procure a rarifying air-stove to warm
the hall of this house. Relerred to a committee ol
the whole h'^use on Friday next.
1 ho unfinished business of yesterday was tak»n
up, respecting lh» gag-rule. The question befoie
the house is, shall the committee have leave to an
again ? '
Mr. Dana spoke at considerable length and with
great energy against the rule. He said it was worst;
(ban licensing the press—it went to silence more
than a million of people at once. It destroys re.
presentation in its essence. Why should the m ijn
nty have r desire to silence the minority with this
political luck jaw f
Mr Mosely also spoke with great judgment and
strength oi argument against the rule.
Mr. \V. Alston spoke in favour of the rule, as did
Mr. Rina.
Mr. ShefTey spoke against the rule. He consi
dered it an encroachment or the liberties of speech,
and he rotild never submit to it.
Mr. Nelson was also agi.inst the rule—he believ
ed Vie previous question wa* not well understood in
the house, or perhaps he did not understand it. Ac
cording to the construction now put upon it by
those who advocated it, he believed it to be one ot
the most wicked and mischievous regulations ever
introduced.
Mr. Dana rose again to explain the former usages
uf the house with respei t to p'evious question.
Mr. Ross was in favour of the rule, he thought it
absourely necessary lor the government of the
house and to facilitate the business of the nation.
I lie questiou, shall the committee of the 'whole
htvi leave to sit again ? was put and lust.
The merits of the report of the select committee !
who reported the rules end orders of the house wer<

rul-.en order to introduce the rule asfoimerly prac

The
ye;s amt tiny* were ralh-d on this question.
Mr. P. I). Porter spoke al considerable length in
favour ol the rule. He did not wish to disguise the
rule—It weut to give the majority the privilege of
closing rienate when they thought proper ; and be
contended that this power was necessary to the ma
jority—As they had power to make law*, they
ought to have power to silence the opposition.
