LONDON, Sunday, March 14. Two Gottenfeergh Mails are arrived with Letters and Papers to the 1st. instant.—The surrender of Pil-lao, a sea-port town, about twenty iiiiies to the westward of Konigsberg is officially announced; but there are many other events of much greater importance stated, for which, however, we have not equal authority. -Nwliotlg tlittst,, it is ,ad, tiiat Warsaw has surrendered to the Russians, and that the Austrians ia it sncig h bo Ilrhood had altered into a capitulation with the Russians, similar to thaI of rhe Prussian army.

This latter statement corresponds with the intelligence received by the previous Mails. French Papers to the 9th insl. have been received, but they are wholly silent as to the situntion of what they would still affect to call the curl's of the Grand Army. They state, with what truth a very short time will show, that BIIOllapartc is immediately to proceed to Antwerp, whence he is to go to Amsterdam, Groniiigeii, Munsler, Osnaburg, and ultimate Jy to establish his head quarters at We should not be surprised if he were to be anticipated in the latter pi ace by the Cossacks.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, TnuRSDA Y. SIR STAPLETON COTTON. Sir Stapleton Cotton, (dressed in full regi- mentals, with the ribband of the Order of the Bath) having previously takeu the oaths and his seat, The Speaker rose, and addressed him in a Speech, of the spirit and elegance of which the following sketch affords but a very inadequate idea Lieut-Gen Sir Stapleton Cotton. In the inter- val between the active services of war, the pro- per sphere of your duty is within these walls.- This Honse hails with pride and pleasure your return to it, bringing with you fresh marks of the Royal favour, the just reward of your to ng tried, and eminent services. (Wear, hear.) Descended from a long line of ancestors whose names have been recordpd with honour in the earliest pages of our history, and who have been uniformly characterised by those qualifies of prudence, of generosity, and of courage, which laid the foundation of English greatness, your race has afforded many splendid models of that wortli aud that valour which dignify the Gentle- man of England; always prompt, to discharge the duties of civil life, and never slow to talee up arms in the cause of his country,— (Hear, hear.) Such, in an eminent degree, were the quali- ties of him- from whom you derived your imme- diate hereditary honours—endeared to his coun- try by Otte highest pifhlic virtue—not unknown to many who are here present—and remembered by myself, personally, with sentiments of the deepest respect and esteciir--(Iletii-, hear.) When, in your early years, the flame of war burst forth throughout Europe, you evinced a spirit congenial with the times, and your mili- tary ardour urged you to endure the toils and pe- rils of your profession in distant climes Train- ed in the same camps, and animated by the same enthusiastic love of glory as that great Captain who commands the British armies in the Penin- sula, and who has filled the world with his re- nown, you pursued his career, and you have shar- ed his triumphs.—(Hear,) Renouncing the charms of ease which awaited you at the seat of your forefathers, yon followed to the tented fields of Portugal and Spain; and having reaped the harvest of our thanks foryour gallantry anti cilli- nent services at Talavera, you now stand here crowned with the never fading laurels of Sala- iii,,inea.-(Iiear, Iteai,!) Your overhrow of a par-t of the enemy's force at an early period of that memorable day laid open the road to victo- ry and your perseverance completed the tri- umph which your valour had cornmeliced-(Ilear, hear, hear !) "These heroic exploits have again entitled you to the puhlic thanks of Parliament; and I now, in the name and by the command of the Coalitions of the United Empire of Great Bri- tain and Irelan(I ii) Parliament assembled, deli- ver to you their unanimous thanks for your dis- tinguished exertion in the battle on the plains of Salamanca, on 'he 22d of July last, which tei-riiiii;tfed in i ,Ioric)us aijtl decisive victory. (Hear, hear, hear.) Sir Stapleton Cotton's reply wis to the follow- iriz effect Mr. Speaker,—I am unable to express how much I feel honoured by the approbation of this House. I am indebted for it to the bravery and discipline of the troops which I had the good fortune to command, In zeal for the service, and in attachment to my King and country, I will, however, yield to iio ti-jati i aii(i illy feeble efforts shall ever be exerted to render me wor- thy of the high honour that has just been con- ferred upon me.-—(Hear, heart, hear.) On the motion of Lord Castlereagh, the ad. dress of the Speaker to Sir Stapleton CottOIl was ordered to be entered on the Journals of the House. In the Committ3 on the Catholic Claims, Mr. Graffan moved his Resolution, That with a view to the preservation of the Church and the State, and uniting all classes of his Majesty's subjects, it would he necessary to remove the disabilities which his Majesty's Cafholicsubjects laboured uuder, taking care at the same tiure to adopt sucli measures as should secure the safety of the Episcopal Church of England an(11relalld and tlie- Es-tat)l i,, fie(] Church of Scotland-" The Speaker opposed the motion. He said it was not possible for the Protestaut, with any safety, to grant civil and political power, until the Catholics disclaimed the spiritual authority of the Pope. Until such a renuuciation was made he would say to them, If you say you will not give up your securities, we say we will not give up our Constitution." England would no longer be England, were they to admit what was called universal toleration. He must, therefore, give his decided negative to the proposition intended to be the basis of the bill. It was too general, too sweeping. It was suhvcrtive of the Church and the Constitution. After several othei- iiieni- bers had spoken pro and COli, the Resolution was carried by 186 to 119-majority 67.

PRINCESS Ob WALES. COPY OF THE DEPOSITION OF CHARLOTTE ],ADY DOUGLAS. I think I first became acquainted with the Princess of Wales, In 18'11. Sir John Douglas had a house a! Blackheath. One day, in Nov. 1801, the snow was )y:ng onthe ground. The Princess, and a Lady, who, I believe, was Miss Hey man, came on loot, and walked several times before the door Lady Stewart was with me, and said-, she thought that the Princess wanted some- thing', and that 1 ought to go ro her. I went to her. She said she did not want any thing but she would walk in; that I had a very pretty little girl. She came in and stàid some time. About a fortnight after Sir J. D. and I received aii in- vitation to go to Montague-house, after that I was very frequently at Montague-house, and dined there. The Princess dined frequently with us. About Mayor June, 1802, the Princess first talked to me about her own conduct. Sir S. Smith, who had not been at Sir Joli'us for more than 20 years, came to England about Nov 1801, and came to live in our house. I understood the Princess knew Sir Sidey Smith before she was Princess of Wales. The Princess saw Sir Sidney Smith as frequently as ourselves. We were usu- ally kept at Montague-house later than the rest of the party, often till three or four in the morn- ing. 1 never observed any impropriety of con- duct between Sir Sydney and the Princess. I made the Princess a visit at Montague-house, in March, 1802, for a fortnight. She desired me to come there, because Miss Garth was ill alone she said she came to tell me something that had happened to her, and desired me to gtiesi-I guessed several things and at last said, I could not uess any more. She then said she was preg- nant, and that thechild had come fo life I don'c know whether she said on that day or a few days before, that she was at breakfast at Lady Wil- lough'ay's that the milk flowed up to her breast, and came through her,gown that she threw a napkin over herself and went with Lady WiJ- loughby into her room, and adjusted herself, to prevent its being observed She never told me who was the father of the child. She said she hoped it would be a boy. She said that if it. was discovered, she would give the Prince of Wales the credit, of being th father of the child, for rhat she had slept two nights with him at Carl- ton-house, within the year. 1 said that she should go abroad to her mother.—The Princes said, she should manage it very well, and if things came to the worst, she should give the Prince (he credit of it, While I was at Montague-house, in March, I was with child, and one day I said I was very sick, and the Princess desired :\1nL Saunders to get me a saline dlallht. She then said, that she was very sick herself, and that she would take a saline draught too. I of)- served that she could nof want one, and I looked at her. The Princess said, yes, I do. What do you look at me for with your wicked eyes you are always finding me out. Mrs. Saunders looked much distressed; she gave us a sal ine draught each. This was the first time 1 had any suspicion of her being with child. The Princess never said who was the father. When she first told me she was with child, I rather suspected that Sir S. Smith was the father, but only because the Prin- cess was very partial to him. I never knew he was with her alone. We had constant inter- course with the Princess, from the time when I was at Montague house, till the end of October. After she had first cOfnlllunicated to me nlt site was with child, she frequently spoke upon 'he subject. Site was ble(I (iul-ilig tlle I ilile.- She recommended me to be. bled too, and said that it made you have a better time. Mr. Ed- munds bled her; She said, one of the days that Mr. Edmunds bled her, that she had a violent heat in her blood, and that Edmunds should hleed her. I tolll the Princess that I was very anxious how she would he brought to bed, with- out its being known that I hoped she had a safe person.—She said, yes; she should have a person from abroad; that she had a great, horror of having any men about her upon such an occa- sion--stie said, I aiii confident in my own plans, and I wish you would not speak to me upon that subject again. She said, I sli,,tll tell every tkin!,r to Saunders. 1 think this- was on the day on which she told me of w/lat had happenedat Lady Willoug-hby's-Saunders was a veiy good woman and might be trusted,and that she must be with her at the labour; that she would send Miss Garth to Brunswick, and Miss Milfiekl was too young fo be trusted, and must be sent out. of the way. I was brought fo bed on the 23d of July, 1802. The Princess insisted upon being present. I determined that she should not, but I-meant to avoid it without offending her. On the day on which I was brought to bed, she came to my. house, and insisted on coming in. Dr. Mackie, who attended n;c, locked the (iooi, oil the opposite side of the but there was ano- ther door on the opposite side of the rooiti, which was not locked, and she came in at that door, and was present (luring the time of the labour, and took the child as soon as it was horn, and said she was very glad she had seen.the whole of it. The Princess's pregnancy appeared to me to be very visible. She wore a cushion behind and made Mrs. skiiincier make one for iiie. During my lying-in the Princess came one day with Mrs Fitzgerald- She sent Mrs. F. away, and took a chair, aud safe by my bedside. She said you will hear of my taking children in basfeets, but vou wont take any notice of it. I shall have them brought by a poor woman in a basket. I shall do it. as a cover to have my own brought to me in that way or, that is the way in which I must have my own brought when I have it. Very soon after this two children, who were twins, were brought by a poor woman in a basket The Princess took them, and had them carried up into her room, and the Princess washed them herself. The Priccess told me this herself.— The father a few days afterwards, came and ip- sis ted on having'the children, and they were given to him. The Princess afterwards said tc me, You see I took the children, and it an- me, "You see I took the children, and it an- swered very well. The father had gotthemback, and she could not blame him: that she would take other children, and have quite a nursery." I saw the Princess on a Sunday, either the 30th or 31st of October, 1802, walking before her door. She was dressed so as to conceal her pregnancy. She had a long cloak, and a very great muff. She had just returned from Green- .1 wich Church. She looked very ill, and I thought must be very near her time. About a week or ten days after this, I received a note from the Princess, to desire that I would not come to Montague-House, for they were ap- prehensive that the children they had taken had the measles in their clùths, and that she was afraid my child would take it. When the Prin. cess came to see me during my lying-in, she told me, that when she should be brought to bed, she wished I would not come to her for some time, for she might he confused in seeing me. About the end of December I went to Gloucestershire, and stayed there about a month. When I re- turned, which was in Jan. I went to Montague- House, and was let in. The Princess was packing up somethillg in a black box. Upon the sofa a child was lying, covered over with a-piece of red cloth. The Princess got up, and took me by the ,hand. She then led me to the sofa, and said, there is the child I had him only two days after I saw you. The words were, either I had him, or I was brought to bed the words were such as clearly imported tliarit wLs her own child. She said she got very well through it she shewed me a mark oil t lie el) i Id's hatiti, i t i,s a pink- mark.- The Princess said, she has a mark like your little girl. I saw the child afterwards frequently with the Princess quite to Christmas, 181)3, when I left Blackheath. I saw the upon the child's hand, and I am sure that it was the same child. I never saw any other child there. The Princess Charlotte used to see the child and play with him. The child used to call the Princess of Wales Mamma." I saw the child looking at the win- dow of the Princess's house about a month ago, before the Princess went into Devonshire, and I am sure it is the same child. Not long after I had first seen thechild, the Princess said, that she had the chtld first to sleep with her for a few nights but it made her nervous, and now they had got a reular nurse for her. She said, we gave it a little milk at first, but it was too much for me, and now we breed it by hand, and it does very well. I can swear positively that the child I saw at thc window is the same child as the Princess told me she had two days after she parted with me. The child wascalleil William I never heard that it had any other name. When thechild was in long clothes, we breakfasted with the Princess, and she said to Sir J. Doug- las, this is the Deptford boy. Independently of the Princess's confession to me, I can swear that- she was pregnant in 1802. In Oclober, IB04, when we returned from Devonshire, tteft my card at Montague-house, and on the 4th October I received a letter from Mrs. Vernon, desiring me not to come any more to' Montague-house.— I had never, at this time, mentioned the Prin'- cess's being with child, or being delivered of a child, to any person, not even to Sir J. Douglas. After receiving Mrs. Vernon's letter, I wrote to (he Princess on tle snhject. The letter was sent hack unopened. I then wrote to Mrs. Fitzgerald, saying, that I thought myself extremely ill used. In two or three days after this, I received an anonymous letter, which I produce, and have uliirkec1 with the letter A, and signed with my name, both on the letter and the envelope. The Princess of Wales has told me, that she got a bed fellow whenever she could, that nothing was more wholesome she said, that nothing was more convenient than her own room it stands at the hcad of the staircase which leads into the Park, and I have bolts in the inside, and have a bed-fellow whenever I like. I wonder you/can be satisfied only with Sir John. She said this .more than once. She has told me that. Sir Sidney Smith had lain with her. That she believed all Olen liked it bed-fellow, but Sir Sidney better than any body else that the Prince was fhemost complaisant man in the world that she did what she liked, went where she liked, and had what bed-fellow she liked, and the Prince paidforall.
