DEBATE ON MONDAY NIGHT.

We subjoin a List of the Members who divided on
Mr. BANKS'S motion for stopping Colonel MsMaim's
Pension. We wish every other sinecure were simi-
larly dealt with ; and this may at least chew our im-
partiality with respect to the owner of that which has
been suppressed. that Gentleman, personally, we
bear no enmity, but much to the drainers of their coun-
try's resources, be they whothcy may, male or female;
and we say male or female, because it 's astonishing
how many of the latter sex are fastened on the country,
without the slightest pretence in the way of service.
Is it nut s!ngular, that, of the City Mrmbers, none
voted on Mr. 13Axits's motion but Mr. H. COW IE ?

le Not a word of news. Ciudad Roder is tog
placed in a respectable state of defence, and our dyers
have in general retired. Marmont, it is ,ems,
proposes to ev: elute Salamanca in Coto. He has a',
ready left that place with his army, and is now K
Toro. Head-quarters are z Freynada, where hit.
ing, shooting, and private theatricals are the orderit
the thy.

A letter from Freynada,.dated February 4, tat's,
that on that day head-quarters were at that place,
and gives the following additional pattieul.ars:
" General Bonnet had evacuated the Astoria, sal
arrived withkooo men at Benevente.

garrison of Huesca, consisting of 1000 tern, vs,
whilst conducting them towards Navarre, soacintl,

tempted to release the prisoners: but his gallant ipi•
:ion succeeded in completely repulsing then, wick
the loss of 1,500 men in killed and prisoners.
" In Catalonia, the Patriots continue to cibtak
great advantages, the enemy's force in that roam
being far from respectable.
" The Governor of Badajoz has issued an Orrin`
that all the peasants who choose to work on the (mi.,
fications shall be paid 320 rills per day. The ganL
son of that fortress has evinced much dissatisfactiss
at being placed upon half rations."
