Lord OSSULSTONE rose, and was commencing
some remarks on the probability of an immediate
hen he was called to order by the (Man-
peace, w
cAor of the Exchequer, and subsequently (on iiis
Lordslip's persevering in his remarks) by the
Speaker and Mr. Bathurst, on the ground that it
was irregular, in merely giving ti notice of any
'notion, to enter into any argument On the subject
Ot that motion.

Lord OiSUGSTONE then declared, it was his in-
tention to !Wake a !notion, and after' recalling to

TilE SPEAXF.R'S SPE.F.CIT.

Mr-. POssoNBV, at the request of a Noble triend
of his, absent from the HQUSC in 'consequence of
the death of a near and' dear relation, gave notice,
that on the first dren day after the• Easter holi-
days his Noble Friend would submit to the con-
sideration of the House a motion on the Speech
which the Speaker bad been pleNsed to deliver
at the bar of the House of Lords, at the end of
the last session of Parli,iment.

Thie SPEAIiErt wished to know on what day the
Noble Lord intended to bring forward his motion.
Mr. PoN•SONBY replied, that not being aware
of,th, intended lengtii of the adjournment,—whe-
ther it vras to be of the usual length, or whether,
in considerStion -of the long adjournments that
had already taken place, it was to be curtailed, it
was impossible for Noble Friend to name the
precise day On which he would make his motion.
lie trusted, hoWevcr, that no inconvenience would
result either to the Museor to the Right Hon.
Gentleman, from the notice being left in its pre-
sent state, until his Noble Ftieud should, be able
to ascertain the proposed length of the adjourn-
ment, on which he would immediately give a more
specific notice.
THE MARQUIS OF WELLINGTON.
The CkI.INELLOR. of the ExcnEatlErt having
moved that the House should adjourn,
Mr. WYNNE expressed his surprize that the
House should be permitted to separate without
any notice having been given -by his Majesty's
Ministers of a Motion for Thanks to Lord Wel-
lington, for the late gloriotis successes of the
British arms in Prance. He
,should very much
regret if this duty 'were to devolve into other
hands.

Mr. am-tuns-1! did not conceive that, because
no notice had been given on the first day of the
meeting of Parliament, that it was thence to be
conelude4 that his Majesty's Ministers did not
mean to bring forward the question.
Mr. WHITBREAD ieclared that he believed it
was the first time after such victories as those
which had been recently achieved by the Noble
Marquis, that Parliament had. been allowed to
Meet for a single day without an intimation on the'
part of his Majesty's Ministers of an intention to
call the grateful attention of the House to the
subject.
- .111 r. BATHURST replied, that there were several
instances in which more days than one Inui been.
allowed to pass after the meeting of Parliament,
without any notice of that nature. •

•
Tile CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed,
that an aaditional reason for deferring such a no-
tice. On the present occasion, was the hope that
dizivc Lit PLlrthei out i-
ous successes of our arms.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER' WRITTEN TO HIS EXCEL-
LENCY TIIE MINISTER AT WAR, BY THE Wag-

SHAL DUKE OF CASTIGL.IONE.

" Villafranca, March 12, 1914.
" Slll—l had the honour to inform your kx-
cellency by my dispatches of the day before yes-
terday, of the motives which bad induced me to

•
repair to the right bank bf the Saone, to stop the
. _

progreSs of Gen.,Bianchi, who with 15,000 nien
was advancing by forced marches towards. Lyons
by the way of Macon, while the division Ilardeek
and ,the light brigade of Wieland were coming
upon Bourg: I ordered Gen. Bardet, who had
remained posted at Pout de. Ain, to advance upon
Bourg, to keep in check this division, while I
went myself to meet the corps of Biatichi. in
fact, General Banta advanced on the 10th to
Bourg, where he met the enemy's advanced guard;
he overthrew it, took 50 prisoners, • and posted
himself beyond the towli, observino- the town o f
.
Macon and St. Amour. During this time, I rapidly
traversed Lyons, with the divisions Musnier and
Pannetier, and three regiments of cavalry, and-
advanced to the place (Villafranea). The division
Musnier, and the 12th regiment of hussars, com-
pOSing the vanguard, met with that of the enemy
at St. George's, two leaguei from Villafranca,
drove it from position to position, to ,
a league of Macon, taking two pieces of cannon
and eight hundred prisoners, of whom four are
officers. The 12th -hussars perforMed prodigies
of valour, notwithstanding that it- was harassed
with fatigue, and had four Austrian regiments to
contend with. It was this regiment that cut
down the cannonicrs belonging to the two pieces
of cannon, and Wok them. Captain Plessen par-
ticularly distinguished himself; he wounded the
e-n-einy'sGeneral Sehnecter, commanding the van-
guard, .who escaped on foot in the confusion.

" I wait for the junction of all the troops to
continue lily operations. The Marshal of the

Empite,

PARIS, MARcii 17.,—The fortress of Huningen
holds out vigorously; it is abundantly supplied

with prorFsiOns. The enemy has erected a bat-
t'eY ici the village of Little Huningen, Composed.
().f howitzers and tiro tars, to bonibard the_Oaxe..
This tattery beOn to play in the begintiing of
111a.roki. The v;arti'siiii* returned 'the eneiiiiii'fire
by thrOwring Sbille bombs into Bade-.

The garrison of Befort frequently makes success-
ful sallies. It has not Only succeeded in proem.-
,
great quantity of proriSions; but has taken
from the enemy, at two different times, all the
artillery they had befOrb the plaCe. It released,
ire one sally, three ,hundred French prisoners, and
brought them ihtb the town. New Brisich is
not closely blockaded, and communicates with
the garrison of Schelestaik ; these two places
combine their sallies.

The garrison of Strasburg frequently makes ex-
cursions to the distance of three or four leagues,
and .occasions great 'asset to the enemy.
The manufactories of Neuhaulen are. for the
most part converted into hospitals by the Allies
they arc crowded with sick ; there arc already
5000 tick id thein, and 3000 wounded were ex-
pected by the sth of Marc

All tfie great establishments in the Upperßhine
are filled with the enemy's sick. There are 25,000
of them in that part of France; without reckoning
the wounded. •

'l'l►e enemy's excesses have so intense() the in-
habitants of the Upper Rhine and the Vosges,
that they but wait for the signal to fly to arms
and fall on the enemy.

• It, is now more than six weeks that the agents
Of liussia, at Basle, have been daily.anuouncing
the news of their entry 'into Paris. In the be-
ginning of March they began to allow that the
left wing of their army had been unfortunate, but
seemed to reckon greatly on the junction of
Blucher with Langeron and Winzingerodc. On
the sth, they proclaimed that their army occu-
pied Meaux with 200,090 men, and "intercepted
the--Emperol's communication with Paris. At

last,' on. the sth, they announced as a :natter
of certainty, that 30,000 Russians had-. entered

Paris.

I MANTVA, 111A4c119.—In spite of all the ho,i‘es
which we allowed , ourselves to form, that the
,Neapolitan troops would refrain from contimuing
hostilities,- particularly atter they had beeh in-
formed of the late victories of the Emperor, and
the advantages gained by the army of Italy, the
King of Naples at the head of his troops attacked
the corps of observation which the Viceroy bad
left At Reggio. This corps of only 2500 men
bore the whole .day, the tire "of the Neapolitan
4rmy, whin formed several lines below iteggio,,
but yet did not dare to'charge our troops, which,
:recording to the orders they had received, after
having thus resisted a far superior force, fell back.
on the Taro. The eannonasle lasted several hours.
We had ,not above 250 men put hors de combat in
this action, but the army will learn with sorrow,
that Gen: Sereroli; who commanded at Rer,g-Ho,
%tits severely wounded in the leg by a 6innon-
ball. The enemy•must have suffered a consider-
able loss.

" Several reports having announced movements

The corps that went from Montzathbano fell 'in

The corps from Goito, composed.of two batta-
lions and $0 horse, under General Jeauin reptiked
the first posts of the, enemy, and penetrated as far'
as Boverhella, where the enemy's rear-guard•
seemed inclinsd to make some resistance. We
took in this town Gf prism] ers, amoug whom are
four officers.

" The corps that went froth Mantu9, to march
upon Castiglione, was under the command of
General Galamberti ; he repulsed the enemy as
far as Castiglione,. There was a brisk fire of mus-
ketry on both sides. The corps that went from.
Govern°lo, under the command Of Gen. Paolneci,
pursued the enemy, who did not cease to retreat
before him as far as Astigiia. On this day the
,enemy had three hundred men.bars de comsat, and'
we took one hundred prisoners, of whom four are
officers. We had not above eighty wounded.--
