Excellency's dispatches by Sir Robert Wilson were received

ant only of the designs of Bonaparte, but of the connivance,

and to the security of laladonalataaw, if he had nut taken tine

that was collecting rimed him; and it would have been idle,
under such circumstances, to have waited the asurear of
Russia to measures calculated to repel a danger, of which
Roma herself funned ite Imre a port.
It mound be disguised, therefore, that the want of rem-
inunicatioe on the part of the Russian Government bag bees
its no lonian Jerre the cause of the ver.y.nitschief which that
GoVerunient nun laments.

serrature obliged him to resort he would yet more willingly
hare been spared the painful task of acting upon that oeces•
ally, had Resole been in a state to otter her guarantee of the

sot to instigate, her bastihey.
But it is useless, as well as painful, to dwell upon what
might have bees the comae of event., if the Emperor of
Russia bad not unwarily delivered houseli oral. to the roost-

moat eliseutial that a good understanding should be kept up
betoken Russia sod Great Britain.
Tune Excellency will thrrefure dwell on these topics no
longer than may he accessary to impress upon the mind of
the Russian Minister, the comiiction that the supposcd un-

with Count Romantow. I yesterday wrote a letter to lem,
of which the inclosed is a copy, and I this morning received
the inclosed note. The root, :its of this paper ore so ex-
tremely important, that I will out detain Sir Hobert Wilson,
by ntakiag soy olocrratins.s upon the unfounded assertions
and imarepresentatione with which it abounds.
This violent manure ham been produced by a peremptory
demand (brought by the laud Messenger from Paris) of the
ininiediate execution of all the Secret Articles uf Tdsit : sod
the French Mission have boasted, that, ;Rey some difSetsl-

not only this set of hostility against England, but also every
other point turmoil to timeworn of Bonaparte's views.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Frs. t.

Their Lordships win this day particularly, summoned en

Cowart au heard In en appeal comet, rrom the Iris&
Exchequer-9a, Fitzgerald Bill r. spruce, Esq.
Generttl Lord Viscount Cathcart and Admiral
Lord Gifinhier appeared in full uniform, and deco-
rated with the instgnia of their respective orders, to
receive the Thanks of Aelkitislgr
• • •
The LORI) CHANCELLOR read to their
Lordships the Thanks of th&Heatse—to the noble
Viscount for the zeal, alacrity. courage, and ad-
dress, which he had displayed ut the capture, of
-Copenhagen. with the fleet --and. naval stores there
deposited; and to the gallant Admiral, for his as-
sistance and co-operituon in reiterating supplies
from entering the island of Zealand during the
siege of Copenhagen.
Their Lordships respectively rose and addressed
the House in return. •

Lord Viscount CATTICAPJ felt rrateful for
the high honour their Lordships had eonferred
on him; and though iticapab:e of expressing. liana
self in suitable terms on'the occasion, he was satin_
tied the army under his command had Pelonned
their utmost duty to their country; and, Wall sliat
convinced, from what knowledse his professional
situation had given him, ou ruinous oces,ions, that
the sentiments of valour, prudcnce, and pstriotisin,
displayed in the late successful expedition, were
those of the army collectively. He comeluded
with returning thanks for the high honourconferred
on him.
Lord .GiAXBIER returned thanks also to the
House. He felt it his ditty to say, that it had been all
along the anxious wish of himself and his Noble co-
adjutor to effect their porpose, if possible, without
the effusion of blood. These humane intentions
had, however, been frustrated by the obstinacy of
the Danish Prince. What the citizens had its con-
sequence suffered, could not be justly attributed
to the British army and navy.
The LORD CRINCELLOR requested their
Lordships to signify- the vote of the House to the
officers, soldiers, and seamen, lately under their
command.
