Bill was, on .the motion of Lord HowlcK, put off
till to=morrow.

Mr, TIERNEY supported 'the printing of the
Papers, in justice to the Noble Marquis im-
plicated in the speech of the Hon. Baronet, al-
though he, regretted that the subject had been
brought forward. He laMented the Hon. Baronet
had not pointed his objeal distinEtly. At present
it was impossible to say, against whom his charge
would: be direEted. In his, present_ situation, he
thought:it but proper. to withhold his opinion on
tv;.,.pat:t,,_ of the, transaftion. TO. the Motion for
some,of the Papers he had this objeaion, that it
wuulc.l be difficult, if 'not impossible, to produce
them ; and .if produced, he could not conceive in
what Way they Would be applicable to the question.
There were many parts of these Papers which
ought not to be laid on the table, and he wished the
Hon. Baronet to delay that part of his -Motion
which 'respeeled these particular • Papers, and to

CALL OF THE HOUSE.

Lord Howicx then moved that the House be
called over to-morrow, witha view to enforce the
Call.

The SPEAKER thought it right to acquaint the.
House, that the Call of the-. House would occupy
three or four hours, and that Gentlemen would do
well to regulate their business accordingly.

ERLANGEN, FEB. 3.—The following Letter is from

" The affairs which took place within a fortnight
preceding the close of Pecember have had various
results. From the uoth to. the 24th the French 'were
by no means Successful ; their passage over the Bug

ceeded, they sustained a great loss of men. on the
24th -a French corps was actually compelled to re-
passthe Narew, and was pursued nearly as far as
Jtthlonna and Tarehomin. In the night between the
24th and 25th, another French corps advanced and
passed. the Narew, 'near Sierock, and drove back:the
Rus,ians; but they fell into a rlior,tas, where they
could neither advance nor act. Here they were at
tacked by 'a part of Gen. BENNINGSEN'S corps, and
obliged to give way. On the same day they were
rather more fortunate in other parts of the country,
,where they made a number of prisoners. On the
