LW- Political Summary. ? THt papers have this last week been al- most "exclusively occupied with parliamentary proceedings, and a continualwui of papers^re« tatiVe ito the Walchereli expedition. Of the former^ the most important points j^ere the Vote of Thanks of the House of Commons to Lord Wellington, and Mr. Bankers Bill for rendering perpetual the 48th orthe for stWpending the reversion of ofiices, &c. for ioint liv" R mast ungenerous attempt was made to resist the V«ie irf Thauki, which |w »duced mso«t ahfe and energetic es from Lord Castlereagh aud Wr/Windham, and was carried without a division had tbe contrary taken place, a new would have been established,, vi. thanking an army for a victory, and excluding the Ge- neral who won it. Mr. Baukcs's Bill met with a strong opposition from Ministers, but titey a, had the mortification to find themselves ia a minority in three distinct divniiom. CoKTiKBN-r.—Accounts,haye bceurecelve from Holland, which mention some popular toramutitMis to have taken plate mthatcdunoil q try, in consequence of the final decision'.pf" Buonaparte to annex the Dutch territories lo the other dominions of France, Alfy partial cothmotions or insurrections we are convinced would be productive of no benefit to this country. but the reverse i it would be viewed at canse of excitation by the Prench Emne. ror, and furnish him, with a plausible excuse for additioual plunder under the forta of con- fiscation. Hostilities are still Ciarried on in theI T rol a French column, consisting of ,y I' .9r ft -M9 8,000 men,. under General Ilusca» has beeu couipletely defeated in the vicinity of dassy aud PaMeyer, with the loss.of-two, battalious taken, { the killed and wounded muat have been coufsieerable, but they are not mention, ed; General Rusca was immediately recalled, and Gener.-it Baragua 'D-]Aillie'r'h eed-* y 3 aWAtICC ed him. The latest accounts from the Penin- sula state a strong division, of the enemy; are proceeding for the province of Valencia; the city of which is represented as stongly fortifi- ed, and not tikety to prove an easy conquest immense reinforcements are hourly arriving from France, which must, we fear, finally cf. fect the tubjugation of this devoted country.
