HOME OP LORDS, JUCA 19,

Mr. GAaaow was heard on the part of 'the Crown in the
Airly and the Stafford Vt.:raps. lecture a Cornreitt«e of Privi-
leges; when the further eunsweration was p05!p4.1....i till the first
day appointed for the sating ut the CuntitatLee In the Lest ties
!ion of Parliament.
CHRISTIANITY IN INHTA.
Lord ERSKINE presented „ great number of Pe-
titions, praying that provision may be made for the
propagation of Coristianity His I.e.rdship
stated his own anxiety t, r • the difitision of Christian
knowledge, the benefits 01 which had been expe-
rienced by all nations wr,tits: i bad existed, and espe-
cially by the people of this country. Nine hundred
pet;ticns had kern reseeded for this purpose, and he
trusted that their ofiicct would be attended to, ns
tar as it would be cousiNtent with the dictates of pru-
dence.

Lord HOLLAND also presented a number of Pe-
titions of tne same description from Missionary So-
ciettes, and other classes t)t.Chrigians. 'the Nobie
Lord expressed his ai.•prubation of the motives which
actuated these Pi:60011,1%4 but he entertainal doubts
as to the pi lily and prudence of carrying their wishes
into execution. -.lle principles of benevolence %And!
ever inclined shim to be frtrndly to toleration and she
freedom of religious opinions at home, disposed him
alto to_ al prove of fa:4 provision which secured to
trie na'tivi.s the uncontrolled exerase of ikeiv
own religious wurshir.
These Petitions were ordered to lie on the table.
The Trinity Doctrine Bill, the East India Bill,
and the Windsor Forest Bill, passed through Com-
mittees, and were r-po: ted without any amendment.
RV casii.tsrts'

Upon the Order of the Diy for Eakin,' into ci•nsi-
deration the several amendments made Cy the Com-
mons in this Bill,
The LORD CHANCELLOR put the question
upon several amendments, witiLli were agreed to.
The Bishop of LONDON objected to that clause
which provided tees to the parisn in cases ot
registry, au being ina:equate. He also objected to
the provision that the Bishop might in certain cases
dispense with residcm.e, upon stating luny the cattie
which rendered it necessary. in many instances ;Jos
wouid be h.c invenient, soit.etimt s reas.ins of a private
and delicate nature were the catt,e, and it would be
painful .inu ()Itch impossible t, give a toll oesctiption
of these circuntstAnces. He Ir4d his objections to
other parts of Coe amendments, but col:dueled b;
moving that the consideration of this clause be post-
polied to this el •y three months.
- . The LORD Ct.A.NCELLOR considered that
clause of all tithe's [lie most ..iteosive in this Bill,
woich so tar degaded the beneficed Clergy and 'he
Curates, that in case of a .illeterke about the posses-
sion of the I).:rs'enai,e.tiouse, recourse was to be had
to a Nliirjstratc, a watrant Waste. t.etssued, by 'which
possession mig:rt be tercinly obtained.
The Bishop ot EXETER spoke against the pro-
visions of i he Bill. •
Lord REDESDALE defended those clauses
which ?tad been ka.-ticulatly objected to, and thought
that those who supported this Lai were hardly treat-
ed. When lenient treasures were prescribed, the Bill
was cm.,,itiered ineffectual ; when effectual provisions
were introduced, they were considered as harsh and
degrading.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY concurred
with the Nobl, aIIJ Learned Lord on the Woolsack,
sits to Lis objections to the clause he had mentioned.
'He thought however that their Lordships bad better
have proceeded to the consideration of the amend-
ments in rotation.
Lord HOLLAND thought that at this time of
the Session and under the evident difkeulty of recon-
ciling We opposite opinions which were entertained
as to the expediency ot this measure, it would be
safe and wise on the part of their Lordships to post-
pone the consideration to tome future tune.-

rtispatelpes, of which the following are extracts,
have been this day received at Earl Bathurst's Of-
' fice, addressed to his Lordship by Field Marshal the
Marque:hot Wellington s
Orris, /vvr.s, lass.
C enecilte! ausel hiving retired towards Logrono,
after fintibst our troops- at• Vittoria on the 22d of
*lone, and hiving ascertained the result*of the action
of the %I,' still remained in the neighbourhood of
Logronoiit tile 24th, and till laie rn the 25th, and
had not 'Alirched for TudePt, as I had been Infer.'
lased, vrbileti wrote my dispatch of the :?4-th ultimo ;•I
•I conceives, therefore, that there.was some prospect
of intercepting his retreat; and after sending the
light troops towards Roncevaller in pursuit of the
army under Joseph Ben:Tarte, I movet the right,
4%14 3.1,-asid 7th
,divisiorir., and Colonel Grant's and
01140•Getiera1pin)semby's brigades of cavalry, -to-
vvaids 'inclela; and the sth a-nd Gth
the•
hinsrliold•and General D'Utban's.caralry, iropt
Vittoria and Salvt.iiietra, towards Lngrc-in::, in hopes '
that I should be able to intercept General Clause).
He, he never, made some extraordinary forced,
marehes, followed by General Mina with his bwn
cavalry and the regiment cf Spanish cavalry under
the command • f Don Julian Sanchez, and arrived
..t Tudela on •the evening of the 27th. Re there
crossed the Ebro, but the Alcalde having informed
him that we were upon the road, he immediately re-
crossed, and marched towards ZaragOssa, where, I
understand from General Mina, he has since arrived.
• General Mina is still following the enemy, ar.d
he has tnkcit from him two pieces of cannon and
some %trres in Tudela, and :;00 prisoners. Liet3te,
nant•General Clinton has also viken possession cf
five guns,.whicli the ernmy left at Logrono.
In the inn time, the troops under the command
if Lieutenant-General it IL Live kept the
blockade of Pamphina, nrd have moved thieugh the
mountains to the head of 0:e Bidasscia, the enemy
having entirely tr.shed into Franai on that side.'

I inhse the• tel•c:t ?rich I have received from
Lieutenant-General Fir T. Graham, of his actions
with the enemy on tilt: 24ti: 21::h of June, which
appear to have been more terims e)an I had ima-
gined %hen I addressed ;aur Lordohip on the 26th
ultimo.

General Foy Led with him the gall isfm oflboa,
aed ti.•;se f)fM(4ldTai::Nn ar.d TQlusa, liesides his di.
vision of the Army of l'ormgal, and his force was
cor....;dtsrable. • It gives me great satisfaction to see
that tl:e Srani,ll and Port tttiese trours men:ioned by
Sir T. Graham have conducted themselves so well.
Tie Lieutenant C4.-riezal !no cnitinurd to pu.,,h
the enemy by the hioh road, and has dislodged them
from all the strong pesitions wi;fch they had taken;
and yesterday *a brigade tf the .rirrny of Gal
tinder the command of Gen Castanos, attacked
and drove the enemy across the 13idAssoa, by the
bridge of Itun.

The enemy-stilt maintained a post in a strong stone
blockhouse, which served as a head to the bridge, and
some tr,:ops in some luopholed houses on the right of
the 13isjassoa ; but Gen. Gi:ot; having sent for some
Spanish 'artillery, And Capt. Dubourdiett's brigade of
nine pounders having been sent to their support, the
fire of these guns obliged the enemy to evacuate, and
they blew up the Vockhouse, and burnt the bridge.
• Sir Thomas Graham reports, that in all these al-
lairs the Spanish troops have conducted themselves
remarkably well.

The garrison at Passage q, consisting cf one hun-
dred and fitly visa, surrendered on the 30th, to the
troops under Colonel Longa.
The enemy, on seeing some of our Mips off Deba,
evacuated the town and fort of Guetaria on the Ist
instant ; and the garrison went, by sea, to St. Sebas-
tian. This place is blockaded by laud by a detach-
ment of Spanish troop%
They have likewise evacuated Castro, and the gar-
rison have gore by sea to Santona.
In my former rev-its, I have made your Lordship
acquainted with the progress cf tll2. army of reserve
of Andalusia, under General the Cvn;le del Abisbal,
to join the army, 'and he arrived at Burgos on the
25th and 26th instant.

When the enemy retired Across the Ebro, previous
to the battle of Vittoria, they left a garrison of about
700 men in the castle of Paa:orbo, by which they
commanded and rendered it impossible for us to use
the great communication from Vittoria to Burgos;
I therefore requested the Conde del Abisbal, on his
march to Miranda, to make himself master d the
town and lower works, and to blockade the place as
closely as he could. I have not received the report
of his first operation ; but, I understand, he carried
the town and lower fort by assault on the 98th ; and
I have now the pleasure to enclose his tern of the

Parci sOrtwock-nALrPsvirir.

final success of thii operation, and the copf n thi
capitulation, by whielv the sari. have surrendered.
The decision and dispatch with which place
has been subdued, are highly creditable to the Condo
dcl Abisbal, and the officers and tick,ps under his
command.

I am concerned to inform your Lordship, that
Lieutenant-General Sir J. Murray raised the siege dr
Tarragona, I cannot say nri whAt day, and ,mbarked
his troops. A great propottion of the artillery and
stores were left in the batteries. It wears that
Marshal Suchet, with a considerable body of troops,
had moved from Valeircia by Tortosa, and General
Maurice Mathieu, with another corps, from the neigh-
bourhoJd of Barcelona, for the purpose of imikdinit
Sir J. hlorriy's operations, which he did not think
himself suil:cieritly strong to. continue. I have not
yet received from Sir J. Murray the detailed account
lof these transactions : Lieutenant-General Lcad Wm.
lientincic, however, who had j-,inecland bad taken
tita`:command of the army pt the Col de Balaguer, oil
17th and had brought it back to Alicant, *There
lip4rtived himself on the 231, and was procetding to
!carry info execution my instructions.

When Marshal Sachet marched:into Catalcnia, the
Duque del Marque had advanced, and established his
head-quart:is rt San Felipe de Xaava, and his mops
on the Xucar, where he taill•was on the 24th.

TOLOSA, MI 26, 1612.
MY Lonn—lt wds so late on the 23d whe►c Ire.
ceived the order to•march by the Puerto st: Adrian
on Villa Franca, and the weather and the road were,
so extremely bad, that but a small part of the column
could get over the mountain that day : and it was
nut till late on the 24th that I could m•►ve from Se.
guia on Villa Franca, with Major• General A►u"'s
brigade of light dragoons, the light battalions of the
King's German legion, and the two Pottuguese bri-
gades; the rest of the troops mit being yet come up. •
I'he rear of the enemy's column was then just
passing on the great road from Villa Real to Villa
Franca, and he occegied, in considerable force, some
very strong ground on the right of the great road,
and of the river ( tria, in front of the village of Ole.
vcrria, and about a mile and a hall from Vila Franca..
Major General Bradford's brigade marched by
Olaverria, and was employed to c:islocige the etteloy
on the right, while the remaihder of the troops ad.
vansed by the Chaussee, defended by the enemy's
tiiailieurs on the heights, and a strong body at the
.
village of Veasayn.
As t►he enemy • reinforced the troops on i•is left, it
becarr•_st ner.essa7 to FUJI. G. If the Ciainode, "'hick
was none by the light battalon, under eakieL Hal?

The evenly having troops ready, posted on the stic.
cessitn of strong hefAhls on each side of the deep val
Icy, at the bottom of which the road runs, a consi.
fierable time br, ime necessary to turn his flanks,
during which he evacuated Villa Franca, without
urther dispute.

The Portuguese brigades on the right and left of
the valley, pushed cn their advance to Yehasurido,
and the troops asEembhd -at Villa Franca. Here
AktAvise the In.adef General Giron's corps aAd an
Colonel Lenga's, strived in the course of the
evening.

The neat motn;ng (the 25th) the enemy evacuated.
Ceiequia ; and, as he had taken up a very strong pa
sition between that and Tolosa, covering the Pampe.
luna road, the Spanish -ores of Colonel Longa was
lunched by Alzo towards Lizarga, to turn his lefts
while Lieutenant-General Mendizadel eras requested
to dispatch some battalions from Aspeytia to turn
!lis right, appuyed on a high mountain, with an in.
accessible ravine in front.

•The enemy was driven from the summit of an im.
portant hill, lying between the Pampelunt and Vit-
toria roads, by a very skilful attack of Lieutenant.
Colonel Williams, with two companies of the Gra
nadiers of the first regiment, and, three of the fourth
CJgadores, belonging to General Pack's brigade.
The conduct of Lieutenant Queires, and of Ensign
Vasconcelles, of the 4th cacadores, was distingaished
on this occasion. The:latter officer lost an eye by a
musquet shot. •

This hill was immediately occupied by Major.
General Bradford's brigade, supported by the three
line battalions of the. King's Getman Legion.
The rest of the day was chiefly spent in skirmish.
ing with the enemy's tirailleurs, to give time for tbs
Spanish corps arriving at their destination. •
A general attack began between six and seven in
the evening. Two guns of Captain Ramsay's troop,
and two nine-pounders of Captain Dubourdien's, us .
der an'escort of Captain Childer's troop of the I+Ba
Light Dragoons, and of the advance of Colonel Hal.
kett's light battalions, were brought rapidly forward
