Mr. WHITBREAD was desirous of asking the Right
Honourable Gentleman opposite, it he had any ob.'
jedion to the produdion, without delay, of the cor.
'respondence between Mr. Munroe and Mr. Foster,
as far as the same had been published: by the Ante.
rican Government.

Mr. PERCEVAL declared that he should ohjeet to
the produabon of that correspondence, on the
grounds which he had before stated on a similar oc-
casion, namely, that it might lead to a Parliament-
ary discussion, which, under the present
stances, it would be wise to avoid. It was coMpe.
tent to the Honourable Member, if he thought
proper so to do, to make a motion on the subjeEt.
.Mr. WHITBREAD then gave notice that be
would take an early opportunity of moving for the
prndudion • the correspondence to w he had
alluded.- . :• •

FITS HOUSE 1101.0.
The Order of the Day having been read for the
second reading of the Bill for regulating his .111,Ajcs,
ty's Household.:
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHF.Q.UER moved that
the Bill be then read ,a seconi time.

Mr. Gices wou!d trouble the House with only It
few words, understanding that the debate on the_.
measure as to take place on the question for 114
Speaker leaving tie chair ; but he wished to ask
the Right
_Hon. G:ritlemin, out of what fund thi3
increased 'allowances to the different -branches cf the
Royal Family were to proceed ? hoped, that
before the discussion took place, the.Hou,see.vould
be put in possession of the returns of the state of the
Drnits of jAdronalty, recently moved for by his
Right Hon. Friedd. •
The CHANCELTAII of the EIScITEEILIER, in a tone
of voice so inaudible in the gallery, as to render iE •
impossible for us to feel any confidence in the fide- .
lity of our report of his statement, observed, as far
as we were able to coiled his meaning, that, at pre-
sent, he had no instructions on the subjea, although
it was not improbable that he >» ould soon be em.
powered to make a communication to-Parliament
respetting it.
Mr. WMTBREAp said, that it appeared the House
Wd gone to work in an unusual and improper inati
ner, v‘hhout sufficient grounds for their proceeding,
There were t%to ways in which the Hou-ie ought to
be induced to consider the arrangement in question,
either by a-communication from the ctown, or by
an intuitive
,convielion of its necesstiy. ,No coin-
monicati9n had been made, and he would ask,
there existed'any intuitive convietion i,41 the House
on the subjeet.?,
The. Cl-I.i.SCELLOR of the EXCHEQUVAI replied,
that the observations of the 1-I,n. Geetleman %vote
not immediavely and direaly connected with 111
quttsiiunbefore.the House.

Mr. WatrafteAD onsended that this was no any.'
sever to his remarks. Ile .rerninded Right 1.19 n.
Gentleman .inaf there were citctunstances in the ar.
:angel-nen( of-the CiviLList, that it was wateriat tq
consider in a vote like the present.
Mr. ABERaROMBIE -inquired whether the ar.
rangenient for tw Ctueett included that fur tho

A pause ensuing,
11,1 r. BapuGuAni rose, and was about to give a
notice, who)

•
The SpeArsrs..tiz..nii, that the question before the
most first be tlisposeil of.

Mr. TIERN4Y„WaS SuIICUOUS to Itnow on whigli

whether to the new or to the old ?
1T
-be CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied,
that it. might be a question at some other period,
whether at- their age it would not.be advisable to
grant the Princesses separate establishments,, but he
observed that that was not the question then before
the House.
Mr. WHITBREAb declared that the statement of,
the Right Horn Gentleman rendered the attentive
consideration of the. sutiject. more impottant than
ever For what was Parliament about todu? To
form -an establishment for her Majesty, on .tlre sup-
position that the Princesses were to_ live with her.—
And uow the Right Hon. Gentleman canto forward
and suggested the probability of a further and dis-
tinct arrangement on that subject. Was the provi-
sion in the Bill made with a view to the. Princesses
remaining with her Majesty or trot ? In the one
case it might be proper to vote 10,0001. in the other,
very improper.
The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to
be committed on Monday. .
ORDERS IN COUNCIL.
, Mr, BitotrobtAm again rose to give notice et a mo-
tion.
Although the motion would be connected
with America, it would not interfere with the exist-
ing negociation, and indeed would be made by him,
although no such negociation existed. He gave no-.
tice, that at an early period after the expiration of
the Restrictions. on the Prince Regent, he.would
move an humble Address to •his Royal Highness,
praying that he would be graciously pleased to with.;.
draw the Orders in Council. He would also move
that the House should ,take into consideration the
system of Trade Licenses.
COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.
The Estimates 'presented by Mr. Wharton, on
Thuisday, having been referred to the Committee
of Supply, the House resolved itself into the Com-
mittee.

The sum of t2Sol. was voted to his Majesty to-
wards defraying the expences of Captain Manby's
experiment for preserving, shipwrecked sailors from
drowning; and the sum of 48991. towards the re-
pals of Henry V[l.'s Chapel.
On the mgaion for granting
.to his. Majesty the
sum of 10,05:71. towards the eretlion, of a Bridge
over the Eden, near Carlisle, •
Sir J. NE V, FORT expressed his wish to have some
information on the subjr6t. . ,
Mr. WHARTON replied, that the vote was in con-
sequence of the recommendation ui the Committee
of-that House, appointed toconsider the best meats
of improving the intercourse between Great Britain
est. itciand through Porrpatrick. It was deemed
necessary to rebuild this bridge near Carlisle,, but
the county of Cumberland was unable to bear the
whole expence. A proposition on, the part of the
Gen,lcuren ut the county to pay halt 'the expence,
was acceded to by the Committee,' and the House
agreed to their report.
Sir J. GRAHAM said, that be Was a Member .of
the Committee alluded to. Representations had
been made by almost- every Nobleman And Gentle-
man in Ireland, of the necessity of improving the
road Irvin Portpatrick to Carlisle. Inihe'pursuirof
this object, it was deemed indispensable to rebuild
this bridge in order to facilitate the admission of
Irish Gentlemen Imo England.
- Mr. Grces observed, that the existing bridge-was
so bad as to be indicted. It was insufficient not
only for the passage of Irish Gentlemen but for
that of the droves of cattle which were constantly
coining up from the N rth. *He did not see how-
ever why the county of Cumberland should receive
greater assistance in such as undertaking than any
other county.
Mr. WHARTOR repeated his statement respe&ing
the Report of the Committee. •
Sir J. NEWPORT could see no reason why the
grounds urged for the adoption of this vote would
not be equally applicable to Ireland, or to the South
of Great Brits* No County in South Wales hod
made a.similar representation with respeet to the int
tercourse between Dublin and London. He de-
nied the statement of an Hon. Baronet, that almost
every Irish Nobleman and Gentleman., had express-
ed an anxiety on the subject of this communication.
On.y those had done bo, who were interested by
their residence in the North of Ireland, and they
bad been used as tools by the County of Cumberland
to serve its own puiposes.
After a further discnssion, in which Mr. Whar-
ton, Mr. Sumner, Sir J. Graham, Mr. Whitbread,.
Sir H. Montgomery, the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, and Mr. Wallis, participated, the Committee
divided,

For the Motion - .35 - •
Against 27
Majority . --$
The House having been resumed;:theiteportjwas
ordered, to be received on MOnday.•
Sir J. NEW PORT inquired the- reason that the
Journals of the House had not been delivered to
every Member ?
Tile SPEAKER stated, that two years ago those
publications amounted to many voluints, largtr than
tied ever before been printed; It appeared to the
Lords of the l'rasuiy that ii would be advisable,
with a view to economy, of er depositing a certain
number in the public libraries_of the_ country, to aid
the liquidation of the expence of publishing them,
by oroering the rest to be carried to a gradual sale.
So the matter then stood, and until reversed by his
Nbjesiy, must continue to stand.
Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice, that h would make
a motion on the subject, in order that every Mem-
tier might be provided with a copy of the Jour-
nals.
The Land and Malt Duty Bill went through a .
Committee, the Report of which was ordered to be
received on Monday.
Mr. BAN KES gave notice, that, on Monday he
lie would move for the re-appointment of the Com-
mittee on Public Expenditures, and" the Committee
on Sinecure Offices.
-On the motion of Mr. WALms, a variety of
papers connected with the Military Regulations of
India, were ordered to be laid before the House.
Adjourned.

•OLEM VUIS DlCig& FALSUM AUDI

L W. 1? OA,

SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1812.

This rnorping the Dispatches which -Ave alluded'
to yesterday, from Lord WELLINGTON, were re-
:ceied at Lord LIVERPOOL'S O; lice are dated

the Ist inst. and contain nothing new.

The advance of General HILL., as far as Merida,
will,we should trust, operate as an effectual diver-
sion in favour of Valencia,where SU C OET'S situation
appears to be rather critical, . especially if it
,be true,
as has-been stated in the Spanish Papers, that he has
/been obliged to detach -60110 men into Arragon.
SOLI LT wilt be under the necessity of recalling the
troops which he has sent both to VICTOR and to So-
CH ET, and the Banks of the Tagus will again become
the theatre of active operations. It is stated, that
Lord' WELLIHOTON . intends a150.,,t0, advance,
and either to besiege or blockade Ciudad ,Rode-
; this movement, will, of course, .engage
the.full attention of MARMONT, and;prove'as'effee-
tual a relief to the North, as, we trust, the advance
of General HILL will be to the. S.Juth of Spain. It
is stated, that the French have received considerable
reinforcements ; and we are incined tO believe they
have, because their daily loss of men is so great, that
without almost constant supplies, their armies' would
soon'be annihilated. The destrutition'of troops in the
Gyetilla warfare, though it .appears trifling in the
detail, is dreadful in the aggregate, and disheartens
regular soldiers infinitely more than the slaughter
of pitched battles, because it is incessant. The un-
paralleled desertions froM the French Armies in Spain
may, in a great degree, be attributed to this cause.
We are, therefore, inclined to believe that the
Ftenc.h• must have received considerable reinforce-
ments, but we do not believe that their actual
strength has been much increased.

The Gibraltar Gazette of the 28th December has
been received ia town. We extra& from it the fol-
lowing articles, as those which are most interesting :
" GIBRALTAR, DEc. 28.—Since the last dales
from Spain, no forthet particulars have reached the
garrison, it being only known, in general, that the
enemy are making regular approaches to Taritia,
and that they compel the peasantry of the neigh-
bourhood to assist in erecting their works.
" General Ballasteros's troops continue in the
same positjons,

" We are happy to undertand that the while of
the crew of his M4jesty's brig Ephera, which was
lost a few days ago on the Porpoises, near Cadiz,
were saved.

" His Majesty's ship Franchise arrived on the
25th, in ten days, from Mataro. The Catalans
continued in the btst dispositions. They had lately
obtained a signal advantage at Viet), and completely
invested Tarragona, the French garrison of which
had but ten days' provisions left. The enemy,
however, had succeeded, under the command of
Gen. Decaen, M‘Donald's successor,. in introduc-
ing a convoy of provisions into Barcelona. The
General had 6000 men with hint, and being joined
by'3ooo from the garrison, who came out.to meet
him, the introdation of the convoy was protetted
by forces greatly superior to those of the Spaniards
in that quarter. By the latest accounts 14; had
reached the Franchise from Valencia, nothing' new
had occurred in that city or its environs."

EXTRACT OF A LETTER.
"SIR, " Dartmouth, lan.as, iSzz.
" The following communication has just been
made to me by the master of the Lord Cochrane,
which vessel is in Torbly : the particulars are en-
tered on their log-boA, but the name exaally the
master does not carry in his memory :—you may
rely on the truth of the information, as it was given
the Lord Cochrane:—

" His Majesty's hired.blig Lord Cochrane, Lieut.
Tindale Commander, spoke with the ketch letter
of marque called the -General, of to guns and, to
men, on `Saturday, off the Start, the master of
which informed Lieut, was from Cadiz six
days"; that he had dispatches on board for Govern-
ment, and that the Spanish General Lapena had had
an engagement with the French, and that General
'Lapena had defeated them and taken .0300
.pri-
soners."

On Wednesday night information upon oath was
given to the Magistrates of the borough of Leeds, of
a conspiracy to destroy the machinery of certain
mills in that town and neighbourhood, employed in
the dressing of cloth. For this purpose the members
of this confederacy were to assemble in a certain place
to be agreed upon, and from thence to divide
themselves into strong parties, and proceed to
the work of destruaion, provided, with • the pro-
per implements for effqaing their purpose., The
Magistrates, upon receiving this information, imme-
diately assembled at the town clerk's office, and
having arranged their plans, proceeded in person
immediately to carry them into effect. Near the
budge', a number of persons were found assembled,
many of them with their faces blacked,who dispersed
on the appearance of the Magistrates,. seeking
their safety in flight; but one of these persons,
of the name of James Shaw, was taken into cus-
tody by a Magistrate, and on the following day was
examined at the Rotation•otfice, and committed to
York, Castle, under what is called the Black AC•i,
charged with disguising his person, and having in
his possession several offensive weapons, we believe
a hammer and chissel. He was escorted to the-cas-
tle by a put), of the Scots Gr'ya,
