Please° in saying that not a single psisoner fell into
the enemy's hands, except those who were disabled
from wounds.
From the report of some prisoners we have trade,
the enemy's force amounted to about 6000 men, with
a very numerous train of artillery, having been aug-,
mewed by a very large body of troops, which`
moved down from Fort Erie immediately before the
commencement of the action. Our own force, in
regular troops, amounted to about 1500*, exclusivel
of the Militia and Indians, of which last descrip-
lion there were notAbove,tbree bundted. Fort Erie,
' I understand, surrendered upon capitulation on the
3d instant. . .
Although this affair was not. 'attended with the
success which I had hoped for, it will be highly gra-
tifying to you to kiwi, Oat the officer's and men
behnvcd with the greatest gallantry. -I am para..
cularly indebted to Lieutenant-Colonel Pearson for
the very great assistance I have received from him,
and for the manner in which he led his light troops
into the action. Lieutenant-Colonel Gordon, and
Lieutenant-Colonel the Marquis of Tweedale, and
Major Evans, commanding the King's Regiment,
merit my warmest praise for the good example
they showed at the head of their respective regi-
ments.

The artillery, under the command. of Capt. Mac-
koriochie, was ably serve►l, and directed with good
effect ; and 1 am particularly obliged to' Major Lisle,
of the 10th Light Dragoons, for the manner in which
ho covered and protected one of the twenty-four
pounders, whicl► had been disabled. I have reason
to be highly satisfied with the zeal, activity, and in-
telligence of Capt. Holland, my Aid-de-Camp; Capt.
Elliot, Deputy-Assistant Q. M. General ; Staff-Ad-
jutant Greig ; and Lieut. Fox, of the Royal Scots,
who acted as Major of Brigade during the absence
of Major Glegg, at Fort George. The conduct of
Lieut.-Colonel Dickson, of the 2d Lincoln Militia,
has been most exemplary,' and I am very much in-
debted to him for it on this as well as on other oc-
casions, in which he has evinced the greatest zeal for
his Majesty's service. The conduct of the officers
and men of this regiment has also been highly praise-
worthy.
Lieutenant-Colonel Pearson has reported to me,
in the most favourable terms, the excellent manner
in which Lieutenant Horton, with t of the 19th
Light Dragoons, obse►ved the moti enemy,
while he occupied the position lie too Is first

THE St.

STATESMAN OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCK.
The Funds experitred a very sudden and great
rise this morning,inconsequence of a report, that news
had arrived in town of Box ArAturEbeing killed in bat-
tle, and Isis army entirely overthrown ; that the Allies
had entered Paris ; and a variety of other reports. A
post-chaise and four from Dartford,with two French
Officers, drove through the city, who were supposed
to bring the intelligence. Messengers were imme.
diately dispatched to Downing-street, &c. to learn
the particulars of this great event, but the clerks in the
Government Offices declared their ignorance of any
such. intelligence.
The Omnium rose from 261 to 32}, and Consols
from 702 to 722, but afterwards declined a little,
and the report loses ground..

" ROYAL EXCHANGE, TWO O'CLOCK.
•
" Up to this hour nothing official has been
received by the LORD MAYOR to confirm the reports
of the morning; but it is still believed that
the Head of the French Empire is no more ;
and it is not doubted by any person, that
Ames were in possession of Paris on Friday last.—
The Funds continue to maintain their advanced
price. The Omnium, which begun this morning at
261 to 27, is now 31f, and it has been done so hilt
as 32. Two to one has been offered and taken, that •
BONAPARTE is dead.

Day, therefore, they appeared in the appointed
place; and there the Emperor, standing before the
Throne, in the front of the Hall, in presence of
the Ministers and Great Officers of State, addressed
the Legislative Body with great violence, and ex-
pressed his highest diSpleasure with the Report they
had produced, and the order fer printing it, as being

SIR.—At a time when the Morning Pest is full of
the blessings we have enjoyed from the House of
BRUNSWICK, it is not a little curious to notice a
Letter, in that Paper of to-day, to the Duke of
Sussex, signed PATRICK. It is in return for the
Royal Duke's attention to his innocent niece, and,
says, " to the foibles and imperfections of Princes
I am disposed to show every indulgence; but
malice is not a foible, and even the robe of roy-
alty cannot cover the deep taints of premedi-
tated malignity."—Now, Sir, when the ATTORNEY-
G.ENERAL reads this letter, and recollects that per-
sons are suffering for writing what they believed to
be true of the PRINCE REGENT and Duke of Cum-
IKRI.SNO. I should suppose he will not suffer it to he
said, or even thought, of him, that he defends that part
Of Royalty only which is of his own Party. It will be
no answer to say the Duke of Sussex does not re-
quire it. Ile should nut be aalgsdihe question. Do
not, Sir, take me for a friend of Ex-dicks, or the
Law of Libel. My opinion is, that if every one had
a•taste of the Chief Justice's milk of human kind.

11 PM HOME.

A"*General Court of Proprietors was yesterday
held at the Jodie Rouse.
Mr. ELPHINSTONE, the Chairman, laid before the
Court a Resolution of the Court of Directors of the
sth of February, 1814, by which it was determined,
• on account of the long and meritorious services of
?Ir. W. M'Culloch, Secretary for the. Examining of
. Winn Correspondence, to increase that Gentleman's
Salary to 12001. a-year. This Resolution was sub-
,: milted to the Proprietors for their approbation.,
Mr. R. JACKSON observed, that it was impossible
to deny the distinguished merit of the Gentleman
who was the object of the proposition of the Direc-
tors. Nor was it possible that those Gentlemen
should be expected efficiently to administer the Com-
Atlaiis, without the power of rewarding its
distinguished servants. lie, however, wished it not
to be draan into a precedent, that any person who
had not regularly advanced in the service of the
Company, should be put into one of its high offices,
he should therefore move, that a Resolution of the
Court of Directors, of 1809,, he read, by which it
would appear, that it was only on account of the
(Laically of finding a servant of the Company equal
to the race to which Mr. M'Culloch had been tip-
' pointed,-and his own merits, that he had been intro-
duced into that situation.
The Resolution of the Court of the Directors, and
the Resolution of the Committee of Correspondence,
*highly approving of the conduct of Mr. M'Culloch,
were rend.
Mr. Dix.om observed, that it would have been pro-
per that the length and nature of Mr. *Culleelt's
services should bare been more pahicularly stated
than ill she Resolution of the Directors.
Mr. Pootticits stroke vehemently on the propriety
of rrw_tirding merit and the danger of patronage.
Mr. ficatte observed (in allusion to what had fall-
. en from Mr. Dixon), that the Directors were 'the
best judgessof the merits of the CoMpany's servants,
as th.y had daily opportunities of observiugstheta.
The motion was carried unanimously.
A Resolution of the Court of Directors, allowing
Mr. R. Owen, Chief Clerk in the Secretary's Office,
to retire on a minion of 8001. a-year, after forty-
-fee years' service, was unanimously confirmed,
•after a few words from Mr. • Lowndes and Mr.

dation ; but we have no grounds for giving it a de,
cided contradiction. It may be an exaggerated re-
petition of the affair which led to the British Gene-
raps retreat from Fort Erie. We have accounts
from Quebec to the 9th of November, but they say
oothing of
the advance of the. enemy into the terri-
tory to which. General Daustmottn was retiring ; on
the contrary, the American army had, by these
orifices, re-crossed the Niagara frontier, and re-
turned into the territory of the United States.—
If Sir ham YEO has actually the command of Lake
Ontario, and is disposed to act vigorously, there
au, we thinks be little probsprility in the above ru-
mour. Sir JAstss, however, appears to be a very
cautious Commander—he might, perhaps, wait till
the enemy came within his reach, instead of closing
in, as Capt. Dowsis did, and" giving them zdvan-
•teges." Sir hues has not yet realized the prophe-
.oes of the Ministerial Oradea ; he has not gone in,
'AO brought out CH tUNCEY and all his squadron.
lie might give the enemy some 66 advantages" if he
isslrds such an attempt.

I. The chance-medley speculators on the Ghent Ne-
_vitiations-continue to send forth their reports, state-

skoolder, and " look unutterable things ;" but

THE•. ALLIED POWERS.

WHITBItEAD wished to ask another ques-
tion, whether any advances of money were made to
any or all of the Allied Powers, subsequent to, and
io consequence of, the Treaties that were signed ?
De did not mean to imply that any advances so made
,vould have been improper ; but he wished to know
••the fact.

The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER,
said, that advances had been made to some, but not

CORN LAWS.

Sir HENRY PARNELL rose to submit three
pri•positions to the House, which he was anxious
should be in the possession of Members, preparato-
ry to the discussion of his motion which stood for
to.morrow (this day). The first was to declare that
'the esportation of alt sorts of corn, meal, grain, &c.
should be permitted at all times without any duty or
bounty.
Mr. HORNER objected to this mode of proceed-
ing. The more regular way would be to propose
Diem in a Committee, and then appoint a time for
the consideration of them.

Mr. WYNNE thought it would he better to de.
fei the discussion of the Honourable Baronet's mo.
tion for a fsw days.
Sir HENRY PARNELL consented, and fixed it
for Thursday next.
London, England, 1814-05-03

therefore move that the Rervvirt be received this day
six months.
After a few words from Mr. WESTERN and Mr.
HARVEY,
The AP E A KER observed, that the question which
had been raised by the Hen. Member was one im-
portant to the safety of their--own proceedings, and
the interests of private property ; end be thetefore
wished the attention of the House to be particularly
given to it. Ilere was a Hill, founded upon one that
bad passed last Session, but essentially changing its
object and character, and which assumed a; a princi-
ple that the parties Interested in the first were formal•
ly hound to consent to the present, though avowedly
producing an opposite result from that to which they
had originally assented. Ile could not better illustrate
his own conception of the case, than by supposing a
canal to be cut, one end of which should terminate
at a coal-pit, and the other at a chalk.pit :,,the pot-
ions interested in this undertaking conseuLtp,it ; but
if, afterwards, it were resolved to stop shoe, and to
catty the ca ital neither to the coat-pit nor to dwells*.
pit, bat only through an intermediate spate, it osald
hardly be assumed that the parties, who had in the
first instance. agreed to the plan, were also consent-
ing to the alteration when it accomplished neither of
the purposes they might be supposed to have in view.
. Something analagous to this he conceived the present
question to be, td it was for the llouse to consider
how they would dispose of it.
Mr. YORKE thought there was no necessity for
Dew notices.
After some slight conversation--
The SPEAKER suggested, that the better way
would be to let the Bill proCeed through its present
stage, and postpone the third reading for eight or ten
days, to give the parties time to petition upon the
question of the standing order. This proposition
was acceded to by Mr. Brand, but we did not hear
what day ..va. fixed for the third reading.
It ‘MSCATE BARBOUR BILL.
Si,. W. CURTIS moved the second reading of this
Bill. _ _

Sir C. NIONCK wished the lion. Baronet had ex-
plained the nature and extent of the duties to be paid
by vessels, acecrding to this Bill, and how far they
'were different from those already levied by former
Acts.

Sir W. CURTIS observed, in reply, that there
It as no port from Portsmouth to: London where
ships could enter, except Ramsgate, and it was but
lair therefore that they should pay towards defray-
ing the expenses incident to keeping the harbour in a
Safe and good state.

A MEM WM, N% hose name we could .not learn,
spoke shortly aping the provisions of the Bill, when
the House divided upon the second reading, and it
was thrown out by a majority of 14, there being 16
for, awl 30 agnits4s. •
The Cordage Bill was read a third time, and
Fassed.

TREATIES WITH TIIE ALLTRS.

. The CHANCEI.I.OIt of the EXCHEQUER
presented at the BaTreoplerbf the Treatiettigned
on the Ist of March last, between this Coariatrg and
Austria, Russia, and. Prussia ; and also a Copy of
the Convention for the Cessation of Hostilities be-
tween England and France, signed at Paris on the
23d of April. Having moved that they should lie
upon the table, he observed that nothing more would
be necessary at present than to observe that the con-
sideration of the Convention, and of the Subsidiary.
Treaties would take place in a Committee of Supply.
r.W ITBREA D enquired, whether the Rt. Hon.
Gent. and his colleagues had come to a determination
'tot to submit to the House those -Awn relative to
the Negotiations at Chatillon, which were prepared
for it, but which, in consequence of the subsequent
extraordinary eveuti in Europe, they had deemed it
proper to withhold ? He did not see how it would
be possible to consider the• Treaties now laid before
them, without the communication of those antece-
dent documents.

The kiHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, he was not aware that it cas the intention of
Government to
.submit those Papers to the House;
hut, at a future period, when the Subsidies theM-
selvPs were under their consideration, it would be
competent for antidembet—to move or -tiods,M.-
duction.

Mr. WHITBREAD.-.—Then it isdeterntined upon
that they shall be refused ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
replied, that he was not prepared tosiguify that they
would be refused.

Judgment was also prayed against this Defendant, a
livery servant, who had been found guilty of an as-
sault upon his master, Captain Kinnersley, whom be
had insulted and stricken in the presence of the fe.
males of his family. The Defendant presented a
Petition to the Court, stating that he had been im—
prisoned on this indictment eleven months, viz. ever
since it was found, he not having been able to 6nd
hail, and that he had been prevented by his poverty
from instructing Counsel to pray for judgment. The
Court took the Petition into its consideration, but ob-
served, that a great part of this impriso.doeut be
had brought upon himself, by not suffering judgment
by default ; he was, therefore, adjudged to three
months further imprisonment, and to enter into a
recognizatice of the peace for three years afterwards

in a most grave, forcible, and solemn reply from Sit!.

Mr. BRAND rove and observed, that acenedin;
