CAPTURED SHIPS.

A Gentleman, whose name we could; not learn;
adverted to the motion which.. had been made a few
nights ago, by ah Honourable Baronet (Sir Charles
Price), for a. list of British ships. There was ano-,
titer Paper which would throw considerable light on
the subjeEt, which he wished to move for. It was
a list of such. British ships as had been. Captured..
by the enemy, and, without being recaptured,
were registered as British. .The enemy (Add not
get half the money for these ships. in their own
ports as they procured for them when in British.
ports and registered; -therefore moved that an
Account should be laid on the table of such British
Ships as had been captured, and, without-being re-
captured, continued to be regitered, from,the com-
mencement of the nregent war. ktp to the. tat of Jar
nuary, 1807.

Lord H. PETTiobserved,"tha! this was not a won
tion of course, and therefore a notice ought to have
been given. However, he saw no Obje?:lion :to it,
and therefore would make no:opposition.

The motion was then agreed to.
The Irish Militia Service Bill was read. a 2d tite,
and ordered to be committed to-morrow.

No official accounts have yet arrived from Lord
HUTCHINSON, nor has the Russian Ambassador, we
believe, recently had any Dispatches; but it is stated
that he has received a private Letter, which says,
that the combined Army' had cautiously avoided a
general engagement, and that it had retreated.as:far
as Grodno, where it had taken a strong position,'
having previously wasted the country over which it
passed. If this be true, the French Army will un-
doubtedly be placed in a, most dangerous situation ;
to advance. through a wasted Country, against-an
Enemy whose Army -is ' continually increasing,
Would be hazardous in the extreme, and the defeat
of the French under such circumstances would., in
all probability, lead to the -destruction, of their
whole Army.—But whateyer may he the, danger of
advancing after the Russians, BONAPARTE must
either adopt that plan, or he must very soon
retreat ; for it will ,be absolutely impossible for bi.nA,
to remain with such a large Arrny.in an entreAichtk
Camp, on the Banks of the Vistula, during the
tuainder of the Winter-,

The reports of tl-w defeat of. the blench stir, h.ow,
ever, continue to prevail, and accounts have recently
beep
,received, which state that the hostile Armies
were engaged for several days, and that at length
, .
the Allies were completely v:ietorious.---7-Wo have not
the means of aicertaining the truth of these reports,
but they certainly have gained considerable Credit.

THE Opposition Papers still continue their attacks
'upon the First Lord of the Admiralty for sending
the Telegraphic Dispatch to the Lord-Mayor On Sa,
turdav, although thel)ositive terms in which the Dis 7.
patch was Couched rendered it almost a duty upon
the. First Lord of the Admiralty to communicate to.
the Lord Mayor so important an event, The Pub-
lic, and particularly the Mercantile part of it, had felt
considerable anxiety respeCting the 'fate of Buenos
Ayres—no Official DiSpatelies had been received-,ru-
moms of its re-capture had, been circulated; under
these circuM.!ances the Adrnirai ty receive a Telegra-
phic/Dispatch froxn, the Port A.dtniral at Plymouth
stating in positive terms ". Buenos Ayres is re,taken."
,Surely then no blame can attach to Mr. GRENVILLE
for immediately transmitting_ this intelligenCe to the
Lord Mayor : on the. contrary, hp Would have been,
in some degree, culpable, if, having received such
portant intelligence, he had not taken_ the earliest
opportunity Qf making it known, to, the. mercantile -
world.
