$,gA-rs IN PARLIAMENT.

Mr. CURWEN having moved the reading of the
Order of the Day for resuming the consideration of
the said Bill in a Committee : the Order of the Day.
being read, the House accordingly resolved into the
said Committee.

Many clauses were, by mutual consent of both
&Ides, struck out of the Bill, and some others amend-
ed.

the Pt ANCELLOR of the 'Ex cn MU R proposed a
new clause, by which the tonajide purchase °Hands,
tenements, &e. under burghago- tenure, should nut
be considered illegal. _ _ _

:Mr. W. Ssxni said, that whatever advantage
should be derived from this Bill, would be.to see
clearly what heretofore had been concealed under a
mask. If any person, unacquainted previouily with
its nature, were to read the clause proposed and the
Bill itself 4 be would not, he believed, suppose the
toriner to have any coeneelion,with the latter. The
Hen. Gentleman basing adverted to the 4oth.of the
present reign respeaing the nature of borough claims
in Ireland, said, he would propose as a clause,
" That no Borough Proprietor should be entitled to
cempensation, unless he made a declaration to the
etreet of not having been influenced in his election
vote by any consideration, and that the person con-
vitled of ailing contrary to such declaration should
forfeit any title to compensation for the loss of pro-
prietorship which he may subseqnently incur."
The CitaNceetok of the Etettauvea, for the
same reason as the Honk Gentleman had gieen con-
cerning his clause, could not perceive the relevancy'
of that proposed by the Hon. Gentleman himseif.
In fatty, hill (Mr. Perceval'a) clause was not confined
to bnrgliage tenure pureliaaers only, but the purchase
of lands, &o. its any other way. The Hon. Gentle-.
man would do as well to postpone his observationi
on the berghage tenure, till its abolition was brought
forward as legislative measure.
A long conversation took place on the clause ori-
ginally proposed by the Chancellor of the Excjie-
tiller, • in which Mr. Tierney, Mr. W. Smith, the
Attorney-General, Sir 4. Anstruther, the Chancel-
lor of the t %chequer, Lord Porchester, and Lord
Miiton participated. Eventually the original clause
ivaft agreed to' without a division ;. and Mr. Smith
Withdrew his proposed clause.
" The CitaNdet4ott -of the Excuesauen proposed a
elatise, by which t4nse persona who obtained their
returns by an express agreement -fpr the granting of
offices,"Should be deprived al their seats, and that
.chose inUiviitualg. who procured such returns for-
piivori, by an
.express agreement for the granting of
raffic:eg, t.ltauld be subject to certain penalties.
' Lord 'H. PETTY Contev.ded, that if the present
okail.,e were adopted, the Bill instead'of annihilating
Corruption, wobiLi concentrate and consolidate it.
If 'one rpad alone were left open, by which the pos-
of Ltri'ougl! influence could turn that in-
fluence to a profitable a'econcit, that road would
unquestionably :be frequented • by them, and the
whole •
of that influence would be thrown into•the
it inds of the Tieskstiry. The teeni I.‘ express are.
intent," which -alone,l according tq the proposed
clause, would subject an individual to the penalties
tit tla~~'Bill, was a kind of prociamatidn, iliat a Irene-
oCliiin cot io'Llndeci on ran " oxpreAs agreement,"
might he carried ots with finpUnity: If the Aa
were act to be equally applicable to Offices t 1144 tp.
heiltioVit it would be infinitely Otter to
"have lint at all. He moved an amendment tall*
leatihgatit..the word'" express.". '
'The .of the &Fugue,* ,repeitted
Lis foriottr statement', that' in the case of e glint of
en offiees.tb an individot.Who had eitlierlfie right
of Oliirg.liimJelf,,orthor`power of i ofluencins others,
Jury,. would in most cases deVaro that sudz a *giant

was in conamuence of a vote given, or in expejla-,
lion of a vote to be.iven. There was a necessity •
.therefore for the tents "express agreement ;" or
otherwise . all interchange of good triflers, and all,
gratitude for favours, would be at an end.
`Sir J. AW!TRUTLIEII declared that it was a libel on.
the Juries of the country to suppose that they were
not competent to distinguish in the cases that might
be brought before them. He adverted to the circum-
stance in which the present Bill originated, namely,
the conduit of a Secretary of State, which conduct
he Charaderised. as most bungling, and contended,
that it was the. intention of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer only to prevent the repetition of such
bungling condua., and, absolutely to legalise every
other description of conduit under.similar circum-
stances. By the proposed clause the Minister would
be at liberty to make as many agreements as he
thought proper, provided he did not allow the agree-
ment to appear on the face of the transaEtion.
Mr. LITTLBTON declared that the present clause
was so obnoxious to him, 'that if it were edoped, he
should, however relu&antly, feel compelled to vot9
against the Bill.
Mr. AsauTr (the Speaker) thought the present
an embarrassing case. He thought it right to strike
at a flagrant case, but he' thought it right to take care
at the same timeliot toStrikeat any thing which it
was nut intended to strike at. 'He shuuld vote for
the clause as it origioally sioud, with the term " ex:.
press' agreeinent ;" but he contended that the of
fences net inclUded within. that term were misde-
meanours, and were punishable by the common law.
As the principal offence would meet with the prin-
cipal punishment, and as nu offence would go with-
nut punishment, he should accept the clause as. it
stood, and leave to experience to make any further
enaitments that might be thought necessary.
Mr. PUNSONBY regretted,ditiering from the Right
Hon. Gentleman. When the law declared, that a
person should be punished for an " express agree,
ment," an instruction was distindly implied to the
courts of law, that an individual was not to be psns
ished .who had not entered into such an " express
agreement." The law thus framed would fasour the
! case of an implied agreement, by tontradistinguish-
ing it from the express agreement; and at least en-
hance the clitlieUlty of punishing those whose agree-
ment was itnp!ied and nut expressed.'
Mr. ABBOTT WiSlted it to be distinctly understood
that the ground on which he should vote upon the pre-
sent case was, that the oflerice omitted in the clause
'would nevertheless not go unpunished, as it was a
misdemeanour by the existing statute.
Mr. PON SONBY persisted in his former statements.
Mr. Tr ix EY allowed with the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman oppsee (Mr. Abbott) that any transaaien
of the nature alluded to, although not founded on
an " express agreement," was contrary to the law
of Patliament, and to the common law of the land,
Iyet cOntendA that it would be most extraordinary to
abstain from including an implied contract or agiee•
Mont in the purview of the present Bill, and declared
l• that, in his opinion, if it were so omitted, the Bill
would be worth nothing.

'The CIiANCELLOR Of the EXCIISQUER deprecated
the accusation made by the Ejonourable Gentleman,
'that the Government set their faces against the Bill.
Before,he fiack macW this netlfition it would have
been .weit had he consuktid -his Honoutable Priem'
by whom the tint was Introduco,and
have ascertained whether he thought the Govern.
Went had so coodua-ted themselves. "1-It, way isure
that on the contrary it must be evident to the coon.
try, that it the Government were hostile to the
they might have taken a part very different from
that which they had adopted : and yet the Honour-'
able Gentleman .was one of those who asautned that
they were not gloated by party feeling.
Mr. CURWEN, while he did not believe that it

was the intention of the Right Hon. Gent. opposite
(the Chancellor of the Exchequer) to defeat the ()h-
-ied of the; Bill, put it to him, whether it would not
be better to leave the persons, for Whose security he
was anxious in the first. instance, his Majesty's Mi-
nisters, without a -guard; and that it any other
measure was neceisaly for their defence, to propose
such a measure ?.
Mr. Bestir:es maintained, that if the word " ex-
press" were retained in the clause, the main objea
Of the Bill would be defeated ; he trusted, there-
for:, that the atnendment,of the Noble Lord
.would
be acceded to.

Sir S. ItomiLLY also supported the amendment of
Lord H. Petty. •
The ATTO4NEY-GENERAL defended the Chan-

eellor of the, Exchequer from the charge of tioAility
to the Bill, and supported the clause introduced by
him, which,' considering the dOeulties attending
the subjett, he considered as more proper with the
word express" in it than it would be without that
word, notwithstanding all the objeEtions that could
be raised against it, or the Ose that might be made.
of it by unfair representation out of doors.
Mr. ADAM postponed the propusitiOn of his clauses
till the third reading of the Bill.
Mr. WORTLEY STEWART supported the original
clause.
The Gallery was then cleared for a di4oloo, and
the numbers were—
For the original Alcition . - 78
For the A inendnient - • • - 43
Majority in favour of the C:of the Exchequer's clause —3;

L 0 N D 0 N,
luussimy, JUNK 8, 1809.

We had yesterday the inexpressible satisfaction of
laying before our Readers the substance of the Loth
and i ith French Bulletins ; the former acknow-
ledges, in distinct -terms, the defeat of the French
Army. We have this day given the Bulletins at
length. It appears that BUONAPARTIC having com-
pleted his preparations for crossing the Danube, ef-
fe6ted that object un the 20th with the principal part
of his army. He claims great merit gar the pas-
. sage of this river, which he considers as a very
great military exploit, and we are happy to find that
lie enumerates among the difficulties which attended
that measure the hostility of the inhabitants. On
the 21st the Austrians attacked the French; and the
battle lasted the whole of the day.; and it is ob-
vious that it was not very favourable to the French,
for the Bulletin merely says, " that at eight o'clock
the battle terminated,' and we remained masters of
the field of battle." During the night between the
21st and 22d the divisions of OLTDINOT and ST.
litta.aititt, and a train of artillery, passed the Da-
nube. On the 22d, at four o'clock in the morning,
the battle was renewed, and the Bulletin says, that
MASSEN,A having sled for soma time on the defen-
sive, attacked the enemy, and threw them into con-
fusion. An attack was then made upon the centre
of the Austrian army ; and then the Bulletin pro-
ceeds in the usual manner. " The enemy's centre
could not withstand the sight of our troops—in a
Moment every thing was borne down before them."
" The Austrian army was on the point of being de-
strayed," &c. At this jonaure intelligence was
brought to BUONAPARTE that the bridge over the
Danube was broken down, by the rising of the
river. We should have supposed, that at such a
moment this "dreadful accident," as the Bulletin
calls it, could not have produced any very serious
consequences to the French, because, according to
their account, the Austrian army was then in the
utmost confusion. MASSENA had defeated their
right; their centre had given way, and their whole
,army was on the point of being, destroyed. But the
moment be learnt that the bridge in his rear was
broken down, 13UONAFARTE, the victorious Btiotlk-
Parrs, seems to have no other object but that of,
saving his army from the attacks of a defeated
and flying enemy—an enemy that " tied at the very
sight of the French troops." All this certainly
is very singular ; but what follows is equally so.—
The Austrians, it appears, upon receiving the ac-
count of the breaking down' Of the bridge, renewed
the battle. We'do not exaelly understand how it
was that the Austrians received this intelligence,
because thecwhele French army was bet Ween -them
and the river; but, wt. told that this terrified and
defeated army, immediately became the assailants,
and made the most astonishing exertions to break
the French line. Fdr several hourethei kept up a
most dreadful fire of
.artillery upon the rfrench ; no
less than 40,000 cannon . shots were fired by the
Austrians, but with inch extraordinary want of
skill, that the Fit ;telt had only 1 too men killed,
while the Austrians Jost above .12,000, although the
French from want of • ammunition' could only keep
up a slack fire. The reielt of the whole was, that
the Austrians were defeated and advanced, the
' French were vii orieus and retreated ! The broken
down bridge would not permit the French to return
to the south side of the river ; the defeated Austrians
would not suffer them to remain on the North, and
in this unpleasant predicament BUONAFARM was
compelled to take up his quarters on an Island in
the middle! ! Such is the very extraordinary ac-
count 13UONAPARTE has given of the Battle of
gsling—an account which convinces us that the
French have sustained a most complete defeat. We
know that letters were yesterday received, by one of
the first Merchants in
the City, from Holland,
which stated, that the loss of the French exceeded
30,000. let is impossible to give too much praise to
the Afehdoke 61.AHLES'. Ile has displayed all the

qu.liticS of a most consu male General. Wo :vac
told in the F.ei!ch Bulletins, that after the Battle of
Itatisbon the Afcliduke had fled to the mounilitts
Bohemia for shelter, and yet we find hitn in on.;
month alter engaging and defeating the whole
French army close to Vienna.
We are far from considering this viilory as decisive
of the fate of the Campaign, but it certainly places
BUOEAPARTE in a most perilous situation.--It
will
teach the Austrians that, when ably led on, they are
able to beat their opponents, and it will convince the
French that BUONAPARTE, even when assisted by
BERTHIER and MAssasA, is not invincible.
We had written thus far when we received Dutch.
Papers of Tuesday, They contain the Twelfth
Bulletin, which is dated at Ebersdorf the 26th ult.
This Bulletin affords the most decisive proof that
BUONAPARTR considers himself in a critical situa-
tion ; he has ordered BERNADOTTE to hasten. to
Vienna, by forced marches, and be is colleelm
ing reinforcements with all possible expedition.--
On the 24th and 25th the bridges over, the
Danube were restored, and the . French
,Army
presume, was relieved from its uncomfortabfe
sular position. The remainder of the Bulletin! is be.,
cupied with an account of the number of :prisoners
taken by the French when Vienna surrendered."'
Ws= have made some further extraas from
,the Dutch.
Papers, upon which we have not at present room W
continent.

It was this morning reported, that itv cow
quence of some French soldiers having been kiliod'
in Vienna, BUONAPARTE had set fire to that cit►,
but aithe last Bulletin, which is dated.the 26th: Wf.
at Ebersdorl, close to 'Vienna, does not mention lb°
circumstance, we give no credit to the report.

Advices have been received from 'fertusgal; 141
which it appears, that VicToa had fallen 'back ;to
Caceres, between the Guadiana and the Tagus'',
Sir 4. WELLasi.ry had passed the Mender , sod

which was near Castel Branco, and had been ordeo
to march to Alcantara.
Letters from Captain M(KiNt.ct, dated Vigo,
dated May 25 , state, that the Spaniards had retaken
St. Sago--that NCI was 'strengthening' AiruSlif
at Ccirunna.—and that the Spaniards MA defeated
a body of French, after . three aslioos,:near Lugo,
and had driveo.them to take refuge in that town..

We this day received Jamaica Papers down tP
the 29th of April, and wo.!tre happy In 'owl% tW
all differences bat woad the Governor and House Ot
Assembly have terminated amicably. The Duke'ff
MANCHESTER, on the 25th, addressed theAss.l4l,v
hly, stating, that, by his MAJEsTY's Order, the
Documents relative to the Court Martial, the ground
of thoSe d;fferences should be laid before them; and,
declaring, that so far from wishing to interfere witli
the Rights and Privileges of the A‘sembly, it was h.°
earnest desire to maintain and support them. Th°
House issued a Summons, and Major. General CAal
miCUAEL was brought up the following day, `0"
he declared that he had no intention to violate it°
Privileges. He was, therefore discharged, and 4)°
House passed a Resolution expressing its &violation

NARY of JUNE s‘h.

The Moniteur of the 31st nit. contains,
THE TENTH BULLETIN.
Eaeaspoar, MAY 23.—Opposite to Ebersdorf
the Danube divides into three branches separated by
two islands. ' The distance from the right bank to
Alieisland on that side, which is
.140 toises in cir-
cumference, is "'about MOO toises. • The distance
from this island to the greater is t 20 toises, and here
the stream runs with the greatest force. The larger
of the two islands is called In-der-Lobau, and the
water which separates it from the main land is 70
toises broad. The first villages which appear after
crossing are Gross-Aspern, Esling, and Eniersdorf.
1 Tl:e passage of such a river as the Danube, in the
presence Of an enemy well acquainted with all the
local circumstances, and who has inhabitants on his
side, is tine Of the greatest military enterprise's that
can be imagined.
The bridge over the arm of the river which se- '
parates the right banks from the first island, and
the bridge from this island to that of In-der-Lo-
Lm Were ereaed on the inth. MoLtiiia's division
had been conveyed to the great ialtitid on the loth by
row-boats.
On the wroth the EMperor arrived at In-der-
Lobau, and caused a bridge to be thcown over the
•least. arm of ,the Danube from that island to the
lef(bank, between. Grosstispern and Esling., This
arm being not quite 70 toises bripad, only 15 pon-
toons Were'required for ,the (*ration; which were
Limed within three hours by ColDriel AVilliY; of the
artillery. .
Colonel. ST. CROIE, Aid-de-.Camp of Marshal
the Duke of Rivota, .arrived first on the left banki
in as open boat, and General LASALLE'S diViSiOa[Of
light cavalry, with Mouroa and BOUDET'S
S ions, passed during the night. Afterwards the
ESIPEROE, accompanied by the Prince of NEUF-
CtIATEL, the Dukes of Rivotr and MowrozeLt.o,
examined the position of the left bank, and defer-,
mined the field of battle, posting the right on the
village of Esling, and the left on the village of
Gross-Aspern. Both villages were likewise 'gar-
risoned.
On the 91st, at four in the afternoon, the ene- ,
Info army sheaved itself, and appeared to have for
its objet to defeat our van guard, and to driVe
into the river. Vain enterprise !
The Duke of RIVOLI was the first attacked at
Gross-Aspern, by the corps of General BELLE(/411:01t.
Ie manceuvred with the divisions of MOLITOR and.
LEGRAND, and rendered completely abortive all the
attacki which the enemy made that 'eVening, The
Duke of MONTEBELLO defended the village of Es-
iing, and Marshal the Duke of IsTatA covered the
• plain with the light cavalry, .antr.EsriONE's division
of cuirassiers, proteCling at the same time EWyeDS..
dorf.,-....41re contest was severe, the enemy having
.200 pieces of cannon and' 90,000 men, colleted
from remains of all the Austrian corps.
D'Espa.oNa's division of cuirassiers, which made
several fine charges, advanCed in two'Squires, and
took. 14 pieces oqrannon, but a trail killed General
D'ESPAGNE while fighting gloriously at the head of
his troops. He was a brave man, and in cvery
epee eminen4 and praise Worthy. The General of '
Brigade FOULERS was likewise killed in a charge.
General Nmisoorz arrived in the evening on-the
field of battle, with the single brigade commanded
by General Gertstol V,
.and distingeished himself
by several brilliant . charges. At 'eight o'clock the
itClion terminated, and we Temaineil masters of the
field.
During the night, General OUDINOT'S corps, .Sr.
litt.t.Arae's division, and two brigades of light ca.
"'dry, and the train'of artillery, pas.sed over, by the
bridgea:
On. the 29d the Duke of Rivou was the first'
"gaged at four in the morning. The enemy made
several successive attacks, hi order to retake the. vii=
htge. At last the Ditke of ftivoLt, tired of riding
91" lie defensive,, attacked the enemy in his turn,
and threw thee) into =talon. General LOGEAND •
dicinguished himself by the coolness and intrepi-,
dity which charaiterise him.
The General of Division BOVDET was stationed
41 the village of .Esling, and had had orders to de-
fend that imPortant position.-
Observing that the enemy occupied a very wide
silace between his right and left wing, it was re-
440 to penetrate by his centre. The _Duke of.,
lint4Testmtai led the attack—General Otr.ungor
.41113 on the leA, HILLAIRS'S Division was it)
the center, and BounsiT's division was on the
tight Wing. The enemy's centre., could not with-
stand the sight of our troops: In 'a moment every
thing was borne down before them. The Duke
of hilts* made several brilliant and successful at-
ticks. Three columns of infantry were charged
sod cut down by the cuirassiers. .The Austrian
511)3+ was on the point of being destroyed, when
at seven in the morning an Aide de Camp of the
Emperor came to inform him that the sudden rise of
the-D.laube had set 4fli,ht a gi eat number of trees,

t winch wire cut down dining the late everts at Nl7
enna, and rafts which had been left on the bank; and
that the bridges which formed the ca:nustutication
' between the right bank and the little island, „tick
between the little island and that of in-der-Lobau,'
had thereby been carried away. This rapid swell.
which usually does not take place until the middle,
of June. on the melting of the snow, 'is been.
accelerated by the great beat which has for some
days prevailed. All the reserve parks of artillery
which were advancing, were by the lass of the brid-
ges detained on the right bank, as was also a part of
our heavy cavalry, and the whole of the Duke of
AUERSTADT'S corpi. This dreadful accident indu-
ced the Emperor to pur a; stop to themevement in
advance. He ordered the Deice of MONTERELLO to
keep the field of battle which had been won, and
then to take hitt pesition with ,his.left wing
,restibg
on a curtain-work which 'the Duke 'of RiVot,t co
vered, and his right wing at'Esling.
The artillery and infantry cartridges. which were.
in out, reserve park could not now be brought
across the. river, The enemy was fin a 'most fright-
ful state of disorder at the moment when he learn-

service this 'day, arid proved that they possessed
Courage. Gen. DORSBNNE, Colonel-Commandant
of the Gld Guard, posted his troops in the third line;
forming a brazen,- wall, which was alone capable of

The enemy discharged 40,000 cannon shot against-
us, while we, deprived of our reserve parks, were
tinder the necessity of sparing dur-ammu'n'ition, lest
some, other unforeseen events should occur.

In the evening the enemy returned to his old
position, which he had left previous to the
commencement of the attack, and we remained
masters of the field. His loss is 'very great it
being estimated by the most experienced officers that
he left,more than 12,000 dead on the field. Ac-
cording to the reports of the .prisOtiers the enemy
have had 23,. Generals and (60 superior Officers
killed or wounded. Lieutenant Field Marshal WE-
exit and 1500 men, and four standards, have fallen
itito. our hands. Our losS has also been considera-
ble. We have 1,100 killed and 3,000 wounded.
The Duke Of MONTEBELLO :Was wounded by a
cannon ball in the thigh, at six o'clock in the even-
ing of the 22d ; but an amputation has taken place,
and his life is out if danger. At first it was
thought that he was killed, and being carried on a
hind-barrow to .where the EMPEROR was, his
adieu was most affetling. In the midst Of all the
anxieties of the day, the Emperor gave himself
up- to the expression of that tender friendship
which during so' many years he has cherished for
this brave coMpanion in arms.' Some 'tears roil-
ed from his eyes, and turning to those who sur-
rounded him he said—" My heart required such a
painful stroke as this, 'to make me occupy myseY, on
thillay, with any othee care than that of my army."
The Duke of 1110111• t ittaa,o was insensible, but re.
covered himself in. the presence Of the Emperor : he
embraced him and said—'-." Within an hour you will
have lost him who'dies with ki-ertory and Me conso-
lation of being your best friend."
The General of Division, ST. HILL. RE, is also
wounded: he is one of the first Generals of France.
General DUROSNEL, Aide.de-Catup to the Eikt f' Lit OR ,
was also killed by a cannon ball, while he was car-

vying an order.
The soldiers displayed all that coolness and intre-
pidity which is peculiar to the French only.

The water of the Danube still increasing, the
bridges of the Danube could not be restored during
the night.; the Emperor, therefore, ordered the ar-
my, on the 23d, to pass frym the left bank across
the little arm, and take a position in the Island of
In-der-Loblu, protetlitig the Tetes du Polite.

' The works for replacing the bridges are continued
with assiduity, and nothing will be undertaken until
they are sedum, not only against the accidents of the
water, but against any thing that may be attemptt;il
against them. The rise of the river, and the rapidity
of the SiTO3I3V must require much labour and, great
caution.

the,l3,inperor had ordered it - to retreat to .the great
istandi ziuthingcould exceed the astonishment of

the tir.tte troupi.,-416torious on both' daysi they
113d:supposed that the remainder or thd army had
jointd them; but when 'they were tnid that the
high water had,earried away the bridge, and that

its continued increase rendered the fent:witl of their
ammunition and provisions impra6ticable,•and that
any movement in advance would be absurd, it .was,
with great difficulty they could be persuaded of the
truth' of the statement.

That bridges construtEted of the largest boats of
the Danube, secured by double anchors and cables,
should be carried away, was a great and entirely un-
fdreieen disaiter; but it • was extremely fortunate
that the Emperor was not two hours later of being
informed of it. The army in pursuing the enemy
Would have exhausted its ammunition, which it
would have been impossible to replace.
On the 23d, a great quantity' of ammunition was
sent to the camp at In-tler-Loban.

The battle of Esling, of which a circumstantial re-
port shall be Made,' pointitig out the brave min who
distinguished themselves therein, will, in the eyes
of posterity, be a new 'memorial of the glory and in-
flexible firmness of -the French army. -'•
