THANKS TO LORD WELLINGTON•

Mr. W. WYNNE said he-expected that before the
House rose that day some person would give notice
of a motion for Thanks to Lord Wellington, for his
late successes. He wished to know whether it was
intended to Five such notice ?
Mr. BAIHuRsT said it was not in contempla-
tion to give such notice ; but it was not unprecedent.
ed to have thanks voted without previous notice.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, this was the first occa-
sion upon which the House had met, alter so long a
time, without notice of a Motion of Thanks for the
splendid achievements of the British arms.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
hoped that, in a short time, they would be called up-
on to vote thanks for more brilliant successes.

The House, at Six o'clock, adjourned until To-
morrow (this day).

FRENCH PAPERS.

PARIS, MARCH 16.

A Military Commission formed at Rheims has con-
demned to death a person named Rougeville, a re.
turned Emigrant and an old officer of cavalry, ac-
cused and convicte4 of corresponding with the Rus-
sian armies. A letter addressed by him to Prince
Wolkonsky, which was intercepted by a French de-
tachment, evidently proves the treason of this indivi-
dual. The minute of this letter, which was found
among his papers, we think it our duty to lay before
the public, in order to shew to all Frenchmen the
manner in which the Russians recompence those who
are base enough to serve the enemies of their country,
LETTER WRITTRN TO THE PRINCE WOLKONSKY BY THE
SIEUR DE ROUGEVILLE, FOUND IN MINUTE AMONG

THE PAPERS OF TILE LATTER.
•6 PRINCE !—Twice I have had the happiness to be
useful to your combinations in the reconnoissances
which you ordered to be made on the 17th at Eper-
nay, and on the 25th at Villiers•Cotterets. Twire I
have voluntarily accompanied the Cossack Officer ;
because, in the first place, being myself an old officer
of cavalry, I was acquainted with- the roads and all
that related to proceedings so important; and second-
ly, because I was full of zeal for the success of your
armies. But it is with sorrow, Prince, that I call to
your recollection, that on the 17th, whilst I was ab.
sent in your service, my country house at Baslieu has
been totally pillaged ; and in addition to this, that the
guard corps of General Woronzuw was placed in rn:,
town-house on the 23d, whilst it ought to be quartercu
in a large unoccupied house, which is opposhe to tlr
apartments of the General.
44 If your Prcellency has the goodness to appre-
ciate and approve the zeal and ardour by which I
have been guided in favour of your armies, the only
favour I demand is, that the six labouring horses
which have been taken from me should be returned,
and afterwards, that orders should be issued to with-
draw the guard from my house, and place it in the
house, N0..1, opposite to the residence of the Gen,:ral."
During the short time the Russians remained at
Chateau-Thierry, an officer of that nation was quar-
tered with an inhabitant of the town. The era' eme
elegance and politeness of his demeanour, which for-
med a contrast to the rude manners and behaviour ,
his soldiers, indicated kith to be a well educated man.
One evening his host perceived that•he carried under
hi.. rrtic►wn~r smell A-Lard hills stain- ciatnenuloicUrnin_

his neck by a silken ribboy. There was a heart ea,.
broidered in the middle of the bag, and beneath it a
Russian Inscription. The officer being pressed witt.
questionsconcerning this rather tinmilitary decoration,
avowed that it was a present which leis mistress had
made to him previous to departure. It was observed
to him that the heart was not accompanied by a
flame. and he could no longer refuse an entire expla
nation. The Russian motto, he said, signified that
the heart should receive its flame only at Paris. nt
officer added, that Inany of his comrades had recei%ed
similar presents on their departive r France, and
that they had promised to carry Lome in tile bags
some of the whet of Paris. The tbitar Is of Chateau-
Thierry replied with a smile, that Lean was ahead,.
well advanced, and that il..rh-Wednesday was gone by.
The Duke de Bellunu and General Grouchy 1:.;‘,
arrived at Paris.

Accosints have been received this day from the Fe.
nator Count Rcederer, Commissioner Extritordintiry
of his I.ll.4jcsty at Strasburg. Affairs . ucceed wun.
der.ully in Alsace and Lorraine. The manufacture
of arms at Montzick h is been transferred to Stras.
burg, where it is going on •vitii the greatest acti.
vity. The arsenal at Str.i.htlrg h.ts Leen tilled with
finished arms. The National Guard of Strasburg,
independently of the garrison, consisted of from 7 to
S',;oo armed men. The town was blockaded only by
2 or 3000 men belonging to the troops of Bidet:,
who did not dare to approach it nearer thaa duce
leagues.

The national guard and the garrison of Scliele.
%tacit have distiriguished themselves by their vigilance,
and have made contii.ual sorties. This city WAS also
blockaded by the troops of Baden. In a v:rtie made
in rho first days of March, the garrison had taken
from the Badenese all their artillery and 1,1;) oxen.
It led the enemy lighting as fas as the Valle of Sait.te
Maiie-aux• Mimes. The garrison took more than
100 prisoners.
_ _ _

Huningen and Befort have equally dis-inguished
themselves. Travellers coming from atraburg have
passad by Nancy.
t►e whole of Lorraine and Alsace are organising
by communes for the levyaen-masse. They are rising
every where, and disarm the stragglers. Every one
ex; ects with impatience the signal for tailing on all
sides qn the columns of the enemy.
Similar accounts are received from Meta. from
Mexeres, and from Mauberge, where the manufac-
tories of arms tfave furnished an immense number of
muskets.

There are only eight Cossacks round Verdun, on
the road to Etain,

Twa persons, one of the name of Callaerts, a wood
merchant and farmer at Wesemael, and the other
named Achter, a native of Aerschut, department of
the Dyle, have been cohvicted of acting As spies, and
corresponding with the enemy. The lists of proscrip.
tion found on one of them have likewise proved that
they rendered themselves accusers of Frenchmen the
most devoted to tho service of his Majesty. These
criminals have been condemned, the first for conta-
mae7, and the second to the punishment of death, by
the judgment of a special military commission eaua.
ordinary, sitting at Chavignon, on the 9th of this
month: 4chter has undergone the execution of his
sentence.
