The late conununication from, France, in addition:
to 'the' arrangements respeaing the' Medical' Men.
taken -at Talavera and at. Flwhing,.,conmins,-. we
understand, a Message; couched in.civil, terms, from
tUpNA PA RTE, respeaing the cantina of a British.
Offic:i-; now -a prisoner in France. This Officer,
it appears; was upon :hiS parole, and attemptid to
make his escape, but was taken and sent to prison;
-be made a second Attempt, m company with two
Yrench :deserters, but was again taken. The Mes-
sage adds, that it is absolutely. necessary by the taws
of France to: bring this_Officer- to trial, bUt that.

The Motion of which Lord HOLLAND 1133 g'rven

it necessary to submit--it to the Public.
