Sir J. Majoribanks, after alluding to the indefatigable exertions of the Duke of York in the organization of the British Army, to which the Duke of Wellington attributed, in a great measure, all his victories, moved a Vote of Thanks in the following words:That the Thanks of this House be given to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, Captain-General, and Commander-in-Chief of his Majesty's Forces, for his effective and unremitted exertions in the discharge of the duties of his high and important situation, during the period of upwards of 20 years, in the course of which time the British Army has attained a state of discipline and skill before unknown to it, and which exertions, under Providence, have been in a great degree the means of acquiring for this country the high military glory which it enjoys among the nations of Europe."

Mr. Whitbread allowed there was weight: in the objection of the Honourable Gen-"! tleman (Mr. Western); but, as the motion was submitted, he should vote for it. Hes condemned the high tone of Mr. W. Pole. The motion was agreed to.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer would not oppose the motion, though he thought it would have been brought forward with more propriety at the close of the services in which our army was engaged.

Mr. Western opposed the motion on the constitutional ground, that the Commanderin-Chief was as much an Officer of the Government as any Member of the Administration: he believed, if the office of Commander-in-Chief had been filled by any other person than the Royal Duke, the present motion would not have been entertained.

Mr. W. Pole thought no man with true British feelings would say they ought not to consider the merit of the illustrious Commander-in-Chief. His relation (the Duke of W.) had written to him, that he was astonished at the improved state of the army, brought about by the unremitting exertions of the Duke of York.

Mr. A. Baring censured the warmth of the preceding speaker, and recommended an additional provision to his Royal Highress, as a small reward for 25 years laborious service in his department.

INTERESTING INTELLIGENCE SUPPLEMENT TO The Gazette, July 11.

(Continued from p. 73 ) Imperial Head-quarters, Nancy, July 6. My Lord, The Allied armies of Aus, tria and Russia continue their advance towards the capital of France. There have been many sharp actions with Generals Lacourbe and Rapp, as also on the side of Marshal Suchet with General Frimont: these I shall endeavour shortly to detail; and your Lordship will perceive, by the vigour and intrepidity with which the detached corps of these armies, and the Austrian army of Italy, have handled the Enemy, that opportunity only is wanting for them to emulate the great example of

The Lord Chancellor suggested that the Judges should draw up a bill descriptive of cases to which the punishment of the pil lory should be applicable.

The Earl of Liverpool conceived the pillory to be a most objectionable mode of punishment, because the measure of that punishment could not depend in many cases either upon the Law or the Judge,

Lord Stanhope concurred in this opinion.
The Bill was thrown out.

July 6.

Lord Eldon observed that the Bill to re gulate the practice of surgeons, imposed a penalty of 307. upon any one who practised as a surgeon without being admitted to the College: if passed in its present state, people in many parts of the country would be without medical assistance.

The Earl of Liverpool remarked, that, from its construction, no private individual could administer any medical relief, or even draw teeth, or bleed in his own family, without being subject to the proposed penalty.

Ordered to stand over till next Session.
(To be continued.)

from the LONDON GAZETTES. the 18th of June, which will live in the memory of these great military nations for ever. To commence with the progress of the advance, Marshal Wrede, instead of blockading Toul, threw bridges over the Moselle at Chanelleray, aud on the 2d bad his head-quarters at Ligny,

The Commanders both of Toul and Marseall refused, on being summoned, to surrender those places. The Field Marshal has taken measures to invest them; but from these impediments on the great line of road to our advance, and the Corps Francs, which are in movement in different quarters of our rear, and have attacked baggage, &c. &c. with success, the

march

march has been slower, and the communications more difficult; however, by military measures which have been adopted here, the lines of communications with the rear will be better secured, and some Colonnes Mobiles will be formed, to clear the different passes of the Vosges, and the great forests and close country.-Ge. neral Barclay de Tolly followed Prince Wrede through Nancy, and is this day at Pont a Mousson.-Generals Lambert and Korff's cavalry occupy the country, and patrole towards Verdun, Clermont, Dunn, and Montmedy, &c.

General Czernicheff was on the 29th in Rheims, and pushed forward on the 2d to Chalons; at this place he has had a very brilliant affair. It appears, according to the best information I can procure, that he sent on about 100 horse, as an advance, under Col. Nasttez. They charged into the town, when the guard at the gate, assembling, and seeing they had been surprised and forced, immediately shut it, and gave the alarm. The advance who had penetrated, made good their retreat by dashing forward to the Paris gate, at the other extremity. General Czernicheff, seeing his advance committed, brought up cannon, and dismounted some Bavarian light horse, battered down the gate, and forced an opening into the place. His cavalry coming then in at a gallop, cleared the streets, and attacked the French infantry assembling in different quarters, completely dispersed them; and this very able partisan exploit was finished by the capture of 600 infantry, one General, Rigaud, and other officers, six pieces of artillery, aud the town of Chalons.

The Archduke Ferdinand reports, that he has found it necessary to leave the whole Austrian division of Mazzuchelly before Schlettstadt, the Enenty having a garrison of 6000 men: his Imperial Highness's head quarters were, on the 3d, at St. Diez, from which he reports, that Marshal Colloredo carried the town and citadel of Montbeillard by assault, on the 2d instant: seven guns, and a considerable quantity of stores, have been found in the place; the number of prisoners was great, and they are increasing every hour. The advanced guard of General Ledener attacked part of Lacourbe's corps, consisting of about 3000 meu, on the 27th, and drove them before them to Dunnemarie: the Austrian loss is seven officers, and some hundred men. The Enemy assembled on the night of the 28th, 8000 infantry and 300 cavalry, near Chavunnes; they were driven with the bayonet through that place, with little loss on our side. General Scheitther carried the strong fortified position near Montbeillard, which the Enemy, with great intrepidity, re

took. Marshal Count Colloredo reinforced General Scheitther during the night,, and the position was again attacked, and again carried on the 30th.

On the 1st of July, Marshal Count Colloredo's corps advanced in three columns. towards Chevremont, Besencourt, and, Roppe: the two former places were carried by assault. The Euemy had placed some guns and cavalry and infantry on the heights of Beaumont, which were soon dislodged. It is estimated, that Lacourbe had with him about 4000 men in these affairs, in addition to his corps, from the garrison of Befort. He sent a flag of truce, at the close of the day of the 2d, requesting an armistice; the proposition in answer on the side of the Allies, was immediately to surrender Befort.

General Baron Frimont reports, from Shene, that on the 28th General Creneville attacked Carouge, crossing the Arve near Geneva. The Enemy proposed an ar-. mistice for twenty-four hours, which, it seems, was accepted, in order to obtain the great advantage of the Enemy evacuating the valley of the Arye. On the same day Geneva was occupied, and the, Enemy driven from the heights of Savonen with considerable loss.

General Count Bubna had passed, on the 28th, Mount Cenis, with the greater part of his corps. On the 29th, the Enemy was found in position at the Tete-dePont of Arly, near Conflans, which he occupied with 3000 men: whilst the Sardinian General Dandesaine, with his troops, and the Piedmontese, occupied the Enemy on their right, General Frank, with, the brave Austrian regiment of Duvas, carried the position, and Tete-de-Pont, by assault. After a most obstinate resistance, the loss in this regiment is, 16 officers and 300 men; the total loss in this affair was 1000. The Piedmontese suffered considerably, and behaved with very great valour. General Frank's conduct has been particularly praised.

The head-quarters of the Sovereigns, and Prince Field Marshal Schwartzenberg, move from thence to-morrow to Void.

I have, &c. STEWART, Lieut.-gen. P. S. I have just received the information that General Czernicheff will arrive this day at Maux, where Prince Wrede expects to establish himself on the 9th inst.,

Extract of a Dispatch from his Excellency General Earl Cathcart, K. T. to Vis count Castlereagh, dated Head-quarters, Nancy, 6th July, 1815.

The Emperor of Russia, accompanied by the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia, (who joined their Imperial Majesties at Spires,) and by Prince Schwartzenberg,, has continued his march to Nancy, at the head of about 30,000 Rus

'sians, by the marches detailed in the margin. The fortress of Shulsburg being in the Enemy's hands, and garrisoned, it was judged expedient to turn it by moving through the valley of Thumtal, and villages of Pfultzveyer and Zellingen to St. Jean. In other respects the Russian infantry have made daily long marches from Bamberg to this place, without a halt, the halt at Saarburg being a repose for the head-quarters, but none for the troops, who were in constant movement. A column of Russian troops marched at the same time by Kaisersiautern and Saarbruck, to give detachments for blocking the fortresses on that line, Metz, Thionville, &c. while the remainder has moved upon Pont a Mousson, the heads of these columns keeping in a line with the head of this. The Prince Royal of Wurtemberg bas, in the mean time, after some gallant engagements, driven General Rapp into Strasbourg, and will march upon Luneville and this place by Ruond'Etrape, and Baccorat, as soon as his corps is relieved by the Austrians. Lord Stewart will detail the movements of the armies of the Archduke Ferdinand, and of General Frimont, and of the Sardinian armies. Some corps of armed peasants and free-booters have established themselves in the woods and mountains which the army has lately passed, and from whence they have committed depredations and robbery upon persons following the army. To repel these, orders have been given to General Wintzingerode, who is at the head of some divisions of cavalry, to clear the country of these people, and to secure the communications in the rear, until the re-establishment of a Government. Field Marshal Count Barclay de Tolly and General Count Platoff met the Emperor at Vic, and the former has marched with the advanced part of this corps. The head-quarters, with the Russian divisions, will pass the Moselle a little below Toul, where there is a ford, and the Meuse at Pagny, and will advance to Void. I have the honour to inclose a report of the occupation of Chalons upon the Marne by Lieut.-Gen. Count Czernicheff, with some Cossacks, and a few other light troops, where he took from the Enemy six pieces of ordnance, and he has proceeded to connect himself with Marshal Blucher or the Duke of Wellington. Prince Wrede has advanced on the great road from Strasbourg to Paris, and was at St. Dizier when I last heard of him,

Report of the Occupation of Chalons by Gen. Czernicheff.

General Czernicheff, after having made several forced marches, arrived on the 13th July before Chalons sur Marne, and having learnt that they had a garrison there composed of the 12th regiment of infantry of the line, and six pieces of cannon, under the order of Rigaud, General of division, he determined to make an immediate attack by three different gates. The Enemy defended himself with great obstinacy, but was obliged to yield to the bravery of the troops commanded by General Czernicheff. The town was taken by assault as soon as the gates were forced. All the garrison, with the Gene ral, were made prisoners.

Foreign-office, July 18.

Extract of a Dispatch, from Lord Stew art to Lord Castlereagh, dated from the headquarters of Field - Marshal Prince Schwartzenberg, Troyes, July 12, 1815.

Prince Schwartzenberg's head-quarters were, on the 10th, at Doulevent; the 11th, at Dienville; and on the 12th, were established at this place.

His Imperial Highness the Archduke Ferdinand, who had his head-quarters on the 9th at Joinville, reported to the Prince a successful attack made by Marshal Count Colloredo apon the fortified position of Gen. La Courbe, in his entrenched camp before Befort. This exploit completed the close investment of the fortress. It would have been impossible to carry this position but for the judicious arrangements of the General commanding, and the bravery of the troops employed on this service.

According to the accounts of the prisoners and deserters from the enemy, their loss in this affair amounted to seven officers killed, 10 officers wounded, and 1000 men.

Blamont has surrendered to a corps of Austrian and Swiss troops.

A reconnoissance which was sent towards Rouge fell in with a party of armed peasantry, which they drove back as far as Sardoye. It is reported, that in part of above description, with some field-pieces. the Vosges there are above 1500 men of the

Effectual measures, however, have been adopted to put an end to this species of warfare, which has been attended with much inconvenience to the regular communication of Couriers and detached Officers.

Prince Hohenzollern reports from Stutzheim, on the 9th of July, that the garrison of Strasbourg made a sortie on the morning of that day on his position, with several columns, near Oberkambergen. The troops under Field-Marshal Mazzuchelly, and the Baden troops under Gen. Schaser, however, repulsed the enemy, and drove him back under the guns of the fortress.

It

It is said that a French General was killed on this occasion.

The Baden Gen. Le Roche has been severely wounded; and great praise is given to the cavalry of this contingent, who charged the enemy's squares with great resolution.

General Baron Frimont reports, on the 3th of July, that after having forced the passes of the Jura, he gave directions for the investment of Fort l'Ecluse.

The regiment of Esterhazy carried a redoubt by assault, which commanded the high road from Geneva to Lyons, and took four guns, one standard, and considerable stores of every description; many prisoners also fell into their hands.

Gen. Frimont continues his march by Bourgenbresse towards Lyons, where it is supposed Marshal Suchet will collect all his corps.

With regard to the movements of the army, his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Wirtemberg halts on the 13th at Neuchateau, and on the 14th takes the direction of Vandoeuvres, Troyes, Villeneave, towards Sens.

Count Colloredo marches towards Visoul, Chaumont, and Bar sur-Seine, blockading Langres with two divisions, and leaving Gen. Wimpfen with a sufficient force before Befort.

The reserve marches by Troyes, Pontsur-Yone, to Foutainbleau; the division of the Archduke Maximilian will be tomorrow at Fontainbleau, forming the advance-guard.-Head-quarters of Prince Schwartzenberg were, the 13th at Sens, the 14th at Fontainbleau. With the blockades of the fortresses, which I have already detailed to your Lordship in former dispatches, the Austrians will have nearly 100,000 men disposable on the Upper Loire, exclusive of General Frimont's army of Italy; and it has afforded me singular satisfaction to witness the high state of perfection of his army, the mass of which is now assembled here: notwithstanding their very arduous marches, no troops can be in a finer state for immediate service.

Extract of a Dispatch from G. H. Rose, Esq. Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of Bavaria, to Lord Castlereagh, dated Munich, July 5.

No accounts have been received here of any progress made by Prince Wrede's army, beyond Nancy and Toul. This Government is employed in what is most important at this moment, the formation of the reserves; a part of the Horse "Guards will march to join the army in the field in a few days. The armament of the third class, or Local Volunteers, has been continued so effectually, that in two of the circles, where they amount to above

100,000 men, full one half are armed, and at their own expence.

Extract of a Dispatch from Brook Taylor, Esq. Envoy Extraordinary at the Court of Stutgard, to Lord Castlereagh, dated Stutgard, July 6.

The last accounts received from the Prince Royal of Wirtemberg, of the 2d inst. state the arrival in the neighbourhood of Strasburg of the corps d'armée of Prince Hohenzollern, intended to relieve his Royal Highness from the blockade of that place, in consequence of which he had begun his march from thence for Luneville and Nancy. The additional force which the King of Wirtemberg has sent into the field consists of the second battalion of the line, one regiment of cavalry, and four Landwehr regiments, which have been ordered to Kehl, to assist in the blockade of Strasburg, and particularly for the protection of the right bank of the Rhine, against any sallies which Gen. Rapp may be disposed to make on that side. The strength of the garrison of Strasburg is said to amount at present to 35,000 men.

LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. Foreign-office, July 21.-Extract of a Dispatch from Viscount Castlereagh, dated Paris, July 15.

Since closing my Dispatches, I have received the accompanying communication:

"I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that Napoleon Buonaparte, not being able to escape from the English cruizers, or from the guards kept upon the coasts, has taken the resolution of going on board the English ship Bellero phon, Capt. Maitland.

Turin, July 2.

My Lord-I have the honour to inclose to your Lordship the copy of a dispatch received from Mr. Fielding, attached to the Head-quarters of the Piedmontese Contingent. WM. HILL Viscount Castlereagh, K. G.

Head-quarters, Aiguebelle, June 30, Sir-1 am happy to inform you that the positions of Aiguebelle, Conflans, and 'Hopital, were taken from the French the day before yesterday. The first, being turned by the Cacheron and Chamoux, was abandoned after a slight resistance; the others were forced by the Austrians and Piedmontese, under the command of Generals Trink and Ardezera, at the 'point of the bayonet. The opposition at 'Hopital was very obstinate, the town being taken by the Allies three times by as

sault. The loss is stated to be consider able, but the return is not yet received; seven /Austrian and four Piedmontese officers are said to be among the killed. In consequence of the abdication of Buonaparte, an armistice was soon after proposed by the French, and accepted by Gen. Trink, by which it is agreed, that the Enemy shall occupy Gregis, Tournoz, and Gily, and the Allies, Conflans, l'Hopital, and their dependencies, and that hostilities shall cease for 48 hours. Another armistice, however, has been concluded by Gen. Frimont, who is close to Geneva, by which hostilities are suspended until midnight of July 2, the French giving up the position of the Boges, and the passage of the Rhone at Seissel. An armistice with Geu. Bubna gives him possession of Mont Mellian. The whole of Gen. La Tour's artillery and infantry, acting in the Maurienne, is now assembled within a day's march of the head of the Austrian column, the troops having made very long marches from Turin with great cheerfulness. The

cavalry is crossing Mount Cenis, and will be ready to join when we cross the Isere, on the resumption of hostilities. I have, &c. G. FIELDING.\

Extract of a Dispatch from Lieut.-Col. Leake to Viscount Castlereagh, dated Pontarlier, July 12.

The Swiss forces, amounting to 20,000, and daily increasing, still occupy the position from Morteau to Pontarlier, with light corps, advanced on their right and left towards St. Hypolite and Salins. The head-quarters are still at Neuchatel. An aid-du-camp, sent from Marshal Jourdan, at. Besancon, announced the submission of that garrison to the King, and requested a suspension of arms on the part of the Swiss army. Gen. de Castella, Chief of the Swiss Staff, gives me to understand, that the request will be granted, on condition that a corps of the Enemy, now at Salins, shall be removed, to allow. the Swiss troops to move forward.

FRANCE.

We learn, by papers and letters from Paris to the 27th inst. that great alarm is felt in the capital from the state of the South. The Vendeans, the remnants of the Army of the Loire, the itinerant partizans, and some furious priests, seem to have made common cause with the professed adherents of Buonaparte. One of the letters mentions, that associations are forming in the Departments, whose object is, by making war upon the foreign troops to compel them to quit the country. These associations are said to receive countenance from some Members high in the administration of the Government. It

is to prevent the consequences of this spirit, that the frontier and maritime places are about to be occupied. The Austrians have entered Nismes and Avignon, and insist upon occupying Toulon and Marseilles. Accounts from Bayonne also state, that the Spanish troops had passed the Bidassoa, with the intention of occupying the fortresses of Bayonne, Navarennes, and St. Jean Pied-de-Port.-A recent letter from Corunna says, "Gen. Roche commands the van of the army of Palafox, stationed near Jaca, in the Pyrenees, and preparing to enter FranceCastanos is to enter France at the same time by way of Perpignan, and O'Donnel by Bayonne.

The elections for the Chamber of Deputies have commenced; and most of the successful candidates are persons known to be attached to the Bourbons.

On the 14th ult. an ordonnance was
GENT. MAG. August, 1815.

published by the King, decreeing, that the squares, bridges, and public edifices of Paris shall resume the names which they bore on the 1st January 1790, and every inscription to the contrary shall be effaced. The bridges of Jena and of Austerlitz will, in consequence, be named, respectively, Le Pont des Invalids, and Le Pont de Jardin du Roi.

On the 15th ult. the Grand Staff of the British army, composed of about 300 Generals and Officers of high rank, with the Duke of Wellington at their head, paid their respects to the King, at the palace of the Thuilleries. His Majesty received them with his usual grace and affability; and said to the Duke of Wellington "To your Grace, I owe a personal obligation for your humanity, and the good conduct of your army towards my subjects."

The Moniteur of the 21st ult. contained a Memorial presented to Congress by Sir Sidney Smith, on the subject of destroying the Barbary Piratical States. He offers to conduct an enterprise to effect that end. The substance of his plan is, that the States most interested in putting down the pirates, should contribute their contingent to raise a force fit for naval or military service.

A letter from Paris asserts, that the Allies are to retain in their hands Strasburgh, Metz, Valenciennes, and Lisle.The Cologne Journal urges the necessity of obliging France to restore the conquests made by Louis XIV.; adding, that France with the boundaries given it in

1814,
