Me. WHARTON moved, that a spinet exceeding £1,250,000
should be granted for defraying the offences of the Commissariat
Departmtet.
Mr. Parnell, Mr. Fonsonby, and Mr. Whitbread objected,
that there were •so few vouchers for so large a sum of stoney.
Mr. Wharton, Mr. Foster, and the Chaucellor-of the Exr-he-
quer, said, the estimate was made up in the usual way, and the
items and vouchers wereibe same as they had ever been.
A conversation of some length took place on the propriety of
granting £17,000 for the draining of bog lands in Ireland.
Mr. Foster and the Chancellost of the Exchequer contended,
that the advantages were likely to be so great as to make it well
worth the advance of each a sum. -
Mr. PON4ONEY thought the risk would be very great, and
that so large a sum of the public money ought not to be to em-
ployed. There wig 1 sum of £5OOO voted last Session for simi-
lar purpolle, and no account had been given of the manner in
which it had been expended.
The Resolutions were then read and agreed to.—Adjourned.

We mentioned some time ago the bad health of
Admiral Lord COLLINGWOOD. Our intelligence, we

have reason to fear, was but too correct. The Prin-
cess Amelia packet, which has arrived at Falmouth
with a Mail from Malta, was informed by an English
frigate, with which she fell in soon after leaving
Malta, that his Lordship had died on board his own
ship, the VILLE DE PARIS, and that his body had been
sent to Gibraltar.

By the Princess Amelia we have received the very
pleasing intelligence that Ceuta is at length in our
possession.—We pledge ourselves for the truth of this
information, as we have it from our regular Corres-
pondent at Gibraltar:

~ GIBRALTAR, MARCH 17..

" The storm on the night of the 7th inst. though
it did much damage to the shipping in the neigh.
bourhood, was not attended with the loss of any lives.
Several ships were dismasted by running foul of each
other, and '22 were driven on the beach at. Land-port.
The greater part of them will be completely lost.
" The most valuable are the English brig Char-
lotte, from Rio Janeiro to this place, with bark and
sugar—part of the cargo saved, vessel condemned ;
and the Nancy, belonging to this port, bound to
Malta with a general cargo, great part of which is
saved, the vessel bilged.
46 The English brig Dragon, Sicilian polacre
Feli-
cite, American schooners Nimble, and Sea Gull, will
be got off. Several of the floating stores belonging
to the merchants of the Garrison are driven on the
beach, where they remain without injury, and will be
got off the next spring tides.
44 The Portuguese ship Victoria, and the Spanish
ship Amelia, from Alicant to London, with wool,
struck in four and a half fathoms water. The for-
mer received no injury ; the latter unshipped her rud-
der, and has continued to teak ever since. We under-
stand she will be discharged and hove down.
66 MARCH 20.—The insurrection against the French
has been extremely successful in all this neighbour.
hood. Their parties have been every where dis-
persed, or cut off by the peasantry. Two Officers of
Artillery, Captain COW LEY and Lieutenant MienELL
have been sent out from this to head the Peasantry,
as they refuse to obey any Spanish Officers, from the
general hatred and contempt into which the Govern-
ment has fallen throughout the country.
44 MARCH 22.—Major-Gemeral FRASER and the 4th
Regiment embarked this morning at eight o'clock'
for the purpose of reinforcing the garrison of Cadiz.
" Mancit 21.—8 y letters from Ceuta- we learn
that our troops landed there yesterday morning, where
they were received with the greatest cordiality, and
were immediately put in possession of the Citadel, so
that this most important fortress is now secure from
the designs of the French, who have been using every
effort for some time past to form a party in that gar-
rison in their favour. Two officers and twenty-nine
French prisoners were sent in here this evening by
the Spaniards.

44 MARcn '2s.—The Ville de Paris came into the
Bay this morning, with the body of Lord COLLING-
WOOD, who died on the 7th instant, off Minorca, pn
his passage to England. The VILLE DE PARIS pro-
ceeds immediately to England, after calling at Cadiz."

Some accounts were yesterday, received from
.Ca-
diz, which state, that several of the batteries which
the French had erected near that place had been.
destroyed by a bombardment, and that the enemy
had besides sustained a considerable loss in men. On
the part of the Spaniards, it is stated, that one of
their block-ships opposed to the enemy was blown up
in the conflict.

A gentleman who arrived in Cadiz by the last
vessel from Lima, and who has since reached Lon-
don, states, that there is much dissention and differ-
ence of opinion among the Spanish Americans re—
specting their future Government. —At one time
there was a strong disposition in the inhabitants of
Peru to establish their own independence. It was
afterwards resolved that, so long as the mother-coun-
try should be governed by the Supreme Junta, and
that body be able to maintain the sovereignty, they
would remain as they were ; but that in the event of
Spain being subdued by the invader) they would then
declare their own independence.
The Spanish Americans have expressed a strong
disposition to have liberty to carry on trade with Eng-
land ; and the Governdt of Lima, in his last dis-
patches to the Spanish Junta, is understood to have.
solicited permission for the entry into their ports of
litiitish merchant ships, which, when our informant '
irft Cadiz; was under sonsitleratioN awl expected tQ
be complied with.
