The chancellor of the exchequer moved, "that the house do acquiesce in the message sent by the lords." This motion was unanimously agreed to. The speaker then said, that as the house had agreed to the message requesting a conference, it would be proper to name their messengers. The witness having withdrawn, Mr. Vansittart conceived that no further information could be necessary, after the testimony they had just heard, to induce the house to concur in the address-Hear Hear! He therefore moved that the address be read. The address was then read, to the following effect; "We your royal highness' dutiful and loyal subjects, the commons house of parliament, beg leave humbly to express our abhorence of the outrage offered this day to the person of your royal highness, and The following members were accordingly depu-regret that there should be found a person in these ted: the chancellor of the exchequer, Mr. Canning, dominions capable of committing so daring and Mr. Ponsonby, Mr. Tierney, sir S.

The lords had likewise informed them, that they had received the evidence of a witness, the right hon. James Murry. The chancellor of the exchequer then moved, that the further consideration of the debate on the address should be adjourned till tomorrow. This being agreed to, the right hon. gentleman moved, that the message of the lords be now taken into consideration, and that lord James Murry be called in and examined as to the fact stated in the address. Lord J. Murry was then called to the bar, and In answer to certain questions put to them by the chancellor of the exchequer, Mr. Curwen, Mr. Wayne, and some other members stated, that he is a lord of the bedchamber to the prince regent, and was in attendance on his royal highness in the car riage on their passage from the house of lords; on their return between Carlton house and St. James', the glass of the carriage was fractured; it was the The address was then agreed to nem. con Mr. Vansittart gave notice that he should to-morrow move for a vote of thanks to lord Moira, for his conduct in India; and on Monday to lord viscount Exmouth, for his gallant conduct at Algiers. Sir F. Burdett gave notice, that he should on this day month submit a motion on the subject of reform in parliament. January 29.-Lord Sidmouth presented a message to the house from the prince regent. The message was read by the lord chancellor, and was as follows: "His royal highness the prince regent, acting in the name and on the behalf of his majesty, has thought proper to order to be laid before the house of lords, papers containing an account of certain meetings and combinations held in different parts of the country, tending to the disturbance of the public tranquility, the alienation of the affections of the people from his majesty's person and govern. ment, and to the overthrow of the whole frame and system of the law and constitution; and his royal highness recommends thesc papers to the immediate and serious consideration of the house.

The message was refer red to a secret committee of eleven lords, chosen by ballot. In the remarks on the regent's message, lord sure but one opinion could be entertained by every Sidmouth said, that that message had no connection member of that house and by every friend to the with the late attack upon the person of the regent British constitution. He begged distinctly to state-if that outrage had not been committed, ministers that the present proceedings did not arise in any would equally have felt it their duty to bring the shape out of that outrage. The communication which subject before parliament. From what lord Ïiverhad been made was founded on information which he thought it would be felt that the government, without abandoning their duty to the country and to the constitution, could not but advise his royal highness to submit to the house. Having said this much, he hoped it would be most consonant with the feelings If these combinations are as extensive as they of the house not to enter upon the views which any are intimated to be, who shall calculate their congentleman might take of the present situation of sequences?

He concluded by moving Latest from England.

Mr. Ponsonby professed his unwillingness to make the slightest objection to the address now proposed, but begged to ask the noble lord what course his majesty's government meant to pursue in consequence of the address. Lord Castlereagh spoke in so low a tone of voice that we could not distinctly collect what he said, but as we understood him, he answered that it was Another meeting had been held at Spa-Fields, which broke up peaceably-all the troops at the west end of the town gave their attendance. The state of society seems very unsettled and uneasy. It is intimated that the prince regent will surren der one-fifth of his income, as connected with his personal services, estimated at £50,000; and ministers, it is said, have shewn an intention to follow his example: The following is the address of the city of Lon don on the escape of the prince regent-it will probably be followed by many of a similar character: city of London, beg leave to approach your royal Army £7,050,000 "May it please your royal highness, ditto, Ireland highness with profound sentiments of duty and re-Commissariat and barracks, Great Britain 580,000 spect, to express our horror and indignation at the Ditto, most daring and flagitious outrage offered to your Extraordinaries royal person at the moment of your return from the Ordnance house of parliament, on the occasion of your royal Navy 300,000 1,300,000 1,246,000 6,397,000 highness exercising the sacred duties of the crown, Miscellaneous, Great Britain and Ireland 1,500,000 and fulfilling, in the name and on the behalf of his majesty, the very important function of one of the estátes of the realm.

In France, as in England, the public funds are inadequate to the expences, and the laboring classes want employment.

"Previous to the 13th of June, the French army had been recruited with the greatest celerity and secrecy behind the forest of Fagne, between the Sambre and the Meuse, without the enemy being apprised of it. Blucher and Wellington thought that the emperor designed to begin his operations between the Scheldt and the Sambre: Wellington even believed that Napoleon would not act on the offensive. But on the night of the 13th, Monsieur Le Comte de Bourmont, col. Clouet, formerly aid de camp to marshal Ney, colonel Gordon, and the secretary of Mr. Avbernon, commissary ordonnateur deserted to the Prussians. Adrim, major to the imperial guards, also deserted, who had been bribed at Paris by the royalist committee. The traitors advised the Prussian generals that the French army was going to operate on the Dyle. The emperor's project was not to begin the campaign by regulor operations, but to surprise the Prussian army in its cantonments from Charleroi to Liege and the English army in its cantonments from Mons to Brussels.
