division, in the battles of the 2d and 3d, had two ,

four of whom are officers.
" Yesterday, the 4th, I set out at break of day,
marching towards Vich, where I have joined three
brigades. I am occupied in preparing subsistence,
after which I will act according to circumstances and
the movements of the enemy.
" I shall have the honour of sending your Ex-
cellency a list of the officers and soldiers who have
distinguished themselves, and to beg of you to re-
commend them to the benevolence of the Emperor.

to give up a third, nay a half, of what they receive'
for so doing, it is but a mockery on the people's
distress ; for as the expellees of war are doubling
every year, Tellers are still growing richer, and wal-
lowing in the wealth which Is drawn from the pockets
of the industrious and the laborious.
We have also received further extracts from th
French Papers relating to the war in Spain, which
are interesting, and will be found in another part of
our Paper.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF I•Ora" NOVEMBER V.

.The House met at three o'clock. The Oaths were
administered to the Duke of Clarence, the Duke of
Argyll ; the Marquis of IViuchestet ; the Earls of
Pembroke, Ferrers, Chichester, Galloway ; the Bi-
shop of Ely ; Lords Kenyon, Hawke, North% ick,
and other Lords. At four o'clock the House ad-
jourued till to-morrow (this day).

A oother Courier from Benavente, which place he left on the
Bth, assures us that the French had retired to lturgog, and that
in Benaveste es sry thing was quiet; he also says, thus Courkfr
had alreact!, been dispatched directly for Madrid, and halms
that the defent 4of Swim in La Mancha was held to be certain,
and that it was hoped (as wo have never doubted) that the op.
porinne movement of Lord Wourco-roti, and all his operations
will produce the most glorious result.

The following Falmouth Litter, received this
morning, states further particulars of Lord WEL-
LINGTON and Gen.

Gen. 'NOCK was a native of the Island of Guern-
sey, which, like Ithaca of old, small, rocky, and
barren, has furnished many Commanders, naval and
military, who have eminently distinguished themselves
by their bravery and loyalty under the British ban-
ners. Gen. Bnocx was considerably advanced in
life, and in his veteran appearance, as well as in the
circumstances of his death in the field of conquest,
might be said to resemble the gallant Aattecnossate.
The custom among Ministers, of writing the Speech
for opening the Session before dinner, and consider-
ing after, is of German origin. The ancient Ger-
mans never determined on any great work, without
canvassing it drunk and saber.
ABERDEEN, Nov. 21.—For some days in the be-
ginning of the week, a disposition to riot manifested
itself, in consequence of a quantity of meal having
been bought up last week, before it was exposed in
the market-place, and the price thereby raised. By
the firm and temperate conduct of the Magistrates,
who, while they took every necessary step to pre-
serve the peace, declared their disapprobation of
such proceeding, and their resolution to prosecute
the offender,we trust that harmony is completely re-
stored—as the Public are assured, that nothing of
the same kind is to take place hereafter.
There was a slight depression of the Funds yester-
day, occasioned by a report that a considerable sub-
sidy to Russia would be among the first measures
submitted to Parliament.
Mr. Kfmatt is engaged eight nights at the Bath
Theatre. Wednesday he commenced with Macheallt ;
on Thursday night he was to play Rolla, in Pizza/To ;
to night he is advertised for the Seraitgcr. King
John and Coriolanus are both in rehearsal for his
performances neat week.
There have been various statements of the business
which is likely to come before Parliament in the Ses-
sion which is to be opened on Monday next. We
