declaring
gexhropsini from the eti;e
-all disturbing or muitferm.g with the
Company. In -this opinion he (Mr.
agreed, and was persuaded that extending
to the out-parts at this time would be an ins
the ptivdeges of the Company—would prove injurious
to the revenue, by-affording opportunities for carry-
ing on illicit trade—and would not prove beneficial-
to those places to which that privilege was extended.
The Hon.' Gentleman then, at considerable length,
entered into a general review of the state of the trade'
to India, and of the political and commercial regula=
tions and establishments of the Company, and can.,
chided by moving an adjournment of the debate.
Mr. Hums here observed, that his Amendment
having been secghded, be wished to know wily it had
not heel put.
Here some observations were made by the Chair-
man, who observed, he did not understand it had been
seconded; and now the motion for adjournment had
superseded all other business : the Amendment of the
Hon. Gentleman might be put the first thing when
the Court met

again.
Mr. Hums again insisted on his right to have the
Amendment put.
The Chairman declared his incompetency to do so,
unless the motion for adjournment was withdrawn-
, Mr. RANDALL JACKSON expressed a wish that the
Amendment might be put. He could have answered
the long speech•of the Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Hume),
at least he presumed he could have done so, immedi,,
ately on his sitting down; but on this occacion he
wished to court all possible discussion—he wished that
every individual on the other side should express his
sentiments on the subject, and for that reason he had
sat silent. He trusted, on this, as on everrother oc-
casion, they would shew themselves above being
guided by any paltry, self-interested motive, and that
they would be as ready to hear the arguments of those
Gentlemen, whose sentiments were against them, as
those who were for them; and therefore, he requested
the motion for adjournment might be withdrawn, and
the Amendment put:
Mr. W. KEENE accordingly withdrew his motiall4
and the amendment of Mr. HUME was put and ne.
gatived.—The former Gentleman then again moved
his adjournment.
The CHAIRMAN asked 'to what day ?—(A cry of
to-morrow or Friday.)
Mr. RANDALL JACKSON regretted that any delay
should take place on his account, but to-morrow he
could not be present.
Mr. Hums suggested that a week should be given
for the Consideration.
The CHAIRMAN observed, that a fortnight had al-
ready been allowed for consideration, and he thought
as little delay as possible should take place on com-
ing to a decision on this most important, question.—
Irit was important to the Public, it was no less im.
portant to the Proprietors ;—for if the question for
opening the Out-ports was carried, from that very
day the Company might date the commencement of
their ruin. The Honourable Proprietor who had
suggested the delay of a week, had spoken three
hours in favour of that object ; he would not, there-
fore, be surprised at being told that his advice would
not be taken.
After a few words from Mr-Wl:sow, the question
• of Adjournment was put and carried for

to the Acts of Parliament in that behalf made in the-
thirty-seventh and fifty-second years of his Majesty's
reign, or one of those Acts, or to steal ammunition,
fire-arms, and other offensive weapons, for the pur-
pose of committing acts of violence and outrage

crimes, by a renewal of the like atrocities, have

tertiary at the Court of St. Petersbnrgb.
St. Petersbargh, Dee. 51, 1 en.
Mr Lours—The military reports addressed to the
Emperor at St. Petersburgh, and which followed his
perial Majesty,. are not yet returned to be made
.üblic ; but I have now the honour to inclose here►
with a translation of a journal of military operations
fkom the 13th to the 25th instant inclusive.
... From these reports your Lordship twill observe,
ghat the pursuit from Wilna has been carried on in
teparate routes upon Kouno, by Counts Wittgenstein
and Platoff. But the former having taken and de-
stroyed many of the enemy in his line of march, had
proceeded down the Niemen to Younbourg, and
thence towards Tilsit, which place his advanced
guard had occupied before the 23d instant.
Count Platoff found a considerable part of the re-
maining force of the enemy et Kouno ; which force,.
I understand, to htve comprised conscripts and con.
valescents which had been stationed at that place and
at Wilna. This corps made considerable resistance,'
but the Don Cossacks having passed the river on theil
ice, and got into the rear of the position, the enemy
abandoned it in the night, with the loss of 21 pieces►
a cannon, and about six thousand prisoners.
The remains of this corps, being dispersed and pur-
sued by the Cossacks, fled partly in the direction of
Tilsit, and partly in that of Wilcovitch, many of them
being killed and taken in the pursuit to the latter
p/kce.

Admiral Tchichagoff had pursued in the direction
of Ghezno, and by detachments had cleared both
banks of the river ; General Lanskoy, with part of
the advanced guard, having marched upon Colvary
and Wilcovitch, to connect with General Platoff upon
Gumbinnen.

General Tormazoff, with the column which had
been led by the Field Marshal in person, was moving
upon Grodno, and your Lordship will observe, that
Count Ogeroffsky had by his detachment, taken pos-
session of that place, in which Colonel Davidoff had
established himself on the 20th inst. The Austrians
had detached towards Grodno, but retired every where
on the advance of the Russian troops, and one Russian
detachment was ordered to move upon Bialystock.
&, Lieutenant General Baron Sachen was. following
the retreat of the principal Austrian corps through
Pinsk and Slonim, and expected to be at Rugane on
.the 24th.

The corps lately under General Ertles .11” stall
evaded by General Teutschcoff, ta. whi
detachment has been joined, having passed through
Minsk, was on the 21st at Candanoff, on the road from
the latter place to Slonim.
All the towns upon the right bank of the Niemen
appeared to be full of magazines, and the country on
the left bank is full of resources.
His Imperial Majesty has expressed his satisfac-
tion at the appearance of the army, and at the great
exertions they have made, and in which the greater
part are still engaged.
His Imperial Majesty has invested the Field Mar-
shal with the Grand Cross of St. George, and was
present at a ball given by the Field-Marshal in cele-
bration of his Imperial Majesty's birth-day.
The prisoners of war that have been forwarded into
the different Governments since the battle ofjßorodino
are stated to exceed 150,000 men; many of these may
have become the victims of climate and fatigue, but
his Imperial Majesty has directed every possible care
and attention to be shewn to them.

I have the honbur to be, &c.

at Bielieza an Austrian corps of 3000 men, whose
