of importance ( illud:rig we presum- to the Po ir's
Laws Bill) smos.: Ur Friday, he should suggest

do- next.

Sir WATKINS WILLIAMS WY NE stated,
that the repot upon which this motion was founded,
had been before the House ever since the 4th of re-
brusry lac, and it was, he thought, rather extraor-
dinary, that at this advanced pctind any delay
should be proposed. It was of the greatest import-
ance that a question of this nature should now come
on as early as possible, it being materially connected
with the privileges of the House ; and tne more
specially, since a most unconstitutional threat
had been thrown out, which, if put into execu-
tioo. wonledeprive the House of the oppor-
tunity of asserting their rights, and proceeding
against Bribery and Corruption. How long the
duration of their sittings might be, the How.. were
at present left in total ignorance ; and therefore no
delay ought to take place in determining a question
(delis nature.

Mr LEIGH KECK said, that as a Member of
the Cminiittee alluded to, lie was convinced that
there never was a stronger case made oat for the
consideration of the Home, and it became them,
consistently with their dignity. to come to an im-
mediate detern.ination thereon. He looked upon
the pioceedings by the Attorney•Gene:al as the
most moderate course tt at could possibly he adopt.
eJ, under the circumstances of the case. The Com-
mittee hal shown every disp;sittoa of leaning
tcwaids the accused •and, thertiore, instead of
pmceedine furtner of theii own arc°, d, had made
it tae subjed z f a 'pedal Repast. if the House
6:mu 1.1 be of opinion that any suspension of pro-
cedure should take place, .his shonid bow with
td.terence to their determination ; bus as a Member
at that Comniittee, be prctested against any sus-
pt nsion whatever.
Mr. HURST said, that the stronger the ca•e
was, the more imperiously was the House celled
upon to delay its decision, until every species of
evitlroce which could strengthen the defence, was
bri:iighth•f ore them.

Mr. MILNE gave his opinion against any ad-
journment of the discussion.
The el-s.4.NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
suggested that it should only be adjourned till tc.
morrow ; which proposition, after some further
diawssion, w se ultimately agried to.
On the motion of Mr. BANK ES, the Reversion
Bill was read a third time, and ordered to be coin.
mitred on Thursday.

The second reading of the Calico Printers' Bill
was postpen-J to Thors.lay.
Tne Sierra Leone Bill was read 'a third time and
passed.

It was ordered that thcre be laid before the House
an Account of the Quantity of Corn, Meal, and
Flour, exported from Ireland to this Country, from
tLe year 1804 to the present period.
Mr. PA RN ELI. gave notice, that he would make
a motion upon Thurd.ty next, relative to the Fi-
nances of Ireland.—Adjourned.

13.tron 1k Bojie, Aide-de-Camp to flu Majesty,
strieed yesterday with Dispatches from Baron
D'E•sen, Governnr-General of Pornerahia, of which
the folla-ving is an estralle
kiss lir.; received certain information of the ene-
my's hseesz comment d his retreat from Promera-
mA, by sohill de•Achaienrs, I ordered the following
troops to Adeline', in two columns, for the purpose
of loiciirg him to quit firs intrenchments, and to
abaadori Swedish l'ioncrania. The first column,
under my orders, was commanded by the Chief of
Brigade Baron De Tavast, and consisted of eight
squadron; .of hussars. a detachment of flying artil-
lery, and four battalions of infantry, with uddr di-
visiems of Chasseurs. The second column was of
equal force with the first, and was commanded by
the Chief of Brigade Baron de Vegesack, under ti e
orders of Lieutenant-General Baron D'Arnsieldt.
These two columns, marcning on the same line,
met with the enemy at Lussow, attacked him, and,
after a vigorous resistance, forced him to abandon
that post, and to retire upon Suderhagen. Here
the attack VI3I again renared f a very brisk fire from
ligiit troops checked us for sometime, but the
fire truss the artillery attached to our two columns.
won obliged him to retire upon Voigdebagen,
Where ur way attacked in front by the column under
Baron D'Aticteldt, and repulsed with great loss;
his let flank having been, at the same time, tUrneo
by the :cups u.sder the command of llstou De Ta-

Whilst nur trnops were carrying the valor of
Veigdehagaii, the enemy had abandoned Lu batte-
ries and initesichments before Stralsund, and had
intrtinclied himself anew on the heights between
Vuigdenagers snd Teszhenhagen. on wltie'l he had
pLited a battery of tow pieces of cannon and two
bow:tato s, whose ices.ssant tie prevented our Lisps
roue advancin4. 6:1 car artillery had iti.tceeded in
dismminiing them. Tile loss of the enemy uu this

The enemy shortly afterwards "'kW Ids posi.
don, and retired upon Teschcnfiftgen. after having
vainly attempted to make himself mater of a marsh
covered with nude: vino& but was prevented from
so doinz by tw i companies of infantry, wl,o, by
* well-sustained fire, obliged him to retire. My
ellunin then math a movement. in order to harass
the left lank of the enemy, whose tetreat shortly
became general, retieing from post to post, with the
loss of many prisoners, a quantity of baggage,
and magazines of all kind-, of wl.ich we have not
yet had dine to make out complete returns. My
column took possession of inn to on the 21 of April,
and, the same day, Bm n D' Armfeldt's column
entered Greisswa:d. where it to ik six officers, and
a gre it many French soldiers (oil into our hands,
as weil as the enemy's hospital, where we recovered
all the Swedish soldiers who had hem's wonialed an 1
taken prisoners in the action of the Pfeil March.
A hove one thousand =alerts, two hundred brace
of pistol., and mai terable magazine., were found
there. On the 31 April, I entered Demnien with
my column, and I sent no my ligitt troops in pursuit
of the enemy towards Aleck!enbow-g. The Barri-
s es of Demirien were ail made prisoners, atter a
feeble resistance. Some small detachments of hug.
sari, sent in pursuit of the enemy, were continually
coming in with French and Dutch prisoners ; and
three hussars alone took one hundred and four men
on the road to Neukahlan. A great =mint of
prisoners were made, and some stands of arms and
provisions taken from the enemy at Dargiihn.
A detachment, commanded by Lieutenant Co-
lonel Baron de Cedrrstrom, took a quantity of bag-
gage from the enemy, together with two Officers
and two hundred and seven The maga-
zines that have been taken are Very considerable,
Lust there has nx as yet been time to make out re-
turns.

I cannot suffitiently praise the good eondul, the
nrayery, the cookies., and the piescr.ce cf mind
ey•acel by the Chief of Brigad.i Baron llr Tavast.
Lieute.taat Colonel Baron De Cederstrom, Major
D'Essen, the Captains of Cavalry Ceps. and De
Platen, and in general all the Officers, as well as
the troops. coudufted themselves with such intre-
pidity and disci; line, Ora I could not, without re-
proaching myself; refrain from expretsing to your
`4,i.j.sty, the satisfidicn I feel at having had the
co timand of such brave men, or from giving them
that honourable testimony on my part which their
g contia has so highly deserved.

Baron D'Armfeldt entered the town of Anclam
this morning, where he took two officers and one
hundred and fifty men, besides a considerable
booty ; one thousand nine hundred and ninety-five
