Spur rier to the bp- of the Houfe, in order to Ilk being difcharged, being read, he was accordingly brought to the bar, when the Speaker addreffed him, Sating, that complaint having been made to that Houfe, that the laft Writ iffueci for the Eleetion rf a burgefb for the Town and County of Pottle had been unduly delayed, feveral perfons had been examined at the Bar of the Houle, and the Writ had been traced to his hands. From his own examination, but not, however, without many attempts.at concealment of the truth, it appeared that the Writ had been de. tamed by him from undue motives of private par tiality and favour. For this breach of the privileges of that Honourable Houfe he had been committed to the cuflody of the Serjeant at Arms; and if the . Haute abflained from laying on him a heavier men fore of punifirment, it was not becaufe they regarded his tranfgreflion as light or trivial, hut becaufe, hay. ing it in c.mtemplation to adopt other meana for checking this evil, they thought farther punithment in his perfon unneceffary. Having in his Petition expreffed his contrition for the offence of which he had been guilty, the Houfe had refolved to difcharge him, and he was now difcharged accordingly. Tne Addrefs of the SPEAKER was ordered to be entered in the Journals. BARRACK BUILDINGS. Mr. MANNING, referring to the flrement of the Fourth Repot of the Commit Goners of • Mi litary Inquiry, wifhed to be informed if any flepshad been, or were meant to be, taken, with relpeti to the 19 Barracks, cf which it a,/" , eared no accounts had yet been given in, or with Telly& to Mr. Coplani's Accounts, who reprefented himfelf as having claims on Government to the amount of abnut t50,06c1., while the refult of the irivettigation of the Commif fioners of Military inquiry feemed to amount to this —that he was already greatly overpaid. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER informed the Honourable Gemleman, that different fuggeftions on the fubjett to which he referred, had been made to Government, which they were in the ' courfe of c nfidering, and he mihltt reft affured that every potfible attention (hould be paid to the interell of the public in thefe different refpeas. EAST INDIA B NDS. Mr. DUNDAS having moved the third reading of the Ealt India B•inds Bill, _ Mr. CREEVEY faid, when he formerly expreffed a with that the farther progref. in this Bill fhould be pottponed, he did fo becaufe the neceffary accounts were not then all on the whir. They had fume been produced, and they were by no means calculated to fatily him, that the Company had any prolpeet of being able to produce a revenue which thould at any time greatly exceed their expenditure, or luch as would enable them to provide far the payment of thefe B )nds. It appeared to him, that there was even on the accounts, 1805 6, a deficiency of z,oco,ccol. He had heard an Honourable Mem ber, a Diicetor of the Company, ta'k of a refidue of nearly 1,000,c001. He law, indeed, on looking into the accounts, a balance in one place of 600,0001. but in this view of the cale, the interefi of the debts due by the Company was not provided for. Calculating on this and the other expences, there was a deficiency for the year 18c5.6, of nearly two million, and for the preceding year of 1,600p001. He was there fore more than ever confii need in the opinion, that there was an impoffibility in foppofing that the Corn pany could ever have a net furplus revenue, or timid ever be able to provide for their debts abroad and at home. As, however, it was admitted by the Ho nourable Dire&nr and by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, that no claim could lie agaiolt the public on account of the booth now to be ilfued, or any other debts of the Company, and as it was under- Rood that an inquiry into the Rate of the Company's affairs was to take place early in the next Seffion,.if the Eall India Company could borrow money in the way propofed, he fhould not objet to it. Mr. DUNDAS contended, that by properly ana• lyzing the accounts on the table, the Honourable Member would have found that the accoults for 1806 7, instead of a deficiency, produced a furplos of 800,0001. ; and by a necettary attention to the ex. penditure, he had no doubt it w old produce fuch a fur pins as would be fufficieut for a Ipesdy liquidation of their debts. Lord FOLKESTONE declared, from all thelff. tension' he had been able to pay to the fobjeft, that the deduction drawn by his Honourable Friend near him ( Mr. Creesey), not that of the Right Honour able Gentleinan'oppotite, was coned. • Mr. DUNDAS explained. General TARLETON faid, he had it hi chine from his conflituents to oppofe the Bill; and partici'. fatly to oppofe the renewal of the C impany's exclu five Charter, which, when it came before the Houle, he fhould feel it hi. duty to do. Mr. WHITBREAD thought that the weigh; of teßimony was at prelent again the Company. If however an Hon. Member of the Board of Controul ( Mr. Johnflone) whom he now law in his place,would kin hi. teflimony to that of the Gentleman at the head of the Board, as to the Rare of the Company's affairs, and the probability of a favourable i ff ee, he fhould be fatisfied, at leaß ft would go far tO make him credit the datement of the Right Hon. -Gentle. min Dundas). . . ~h •T. Bill was then read a third time. On the question thit the s ßill do ph, Mr. WHITBREAD laid, that, obferving the Ho nourable Gentleman to whom he alluded, prefenrid a determined filence, he mutt object to the palling of the Bill, • Mr. JOHNSTONE felt himfelf extremely flatter. ed by the appeal made to him by the Hon. Gentler man oppofite. Gentlemen, however, would recollea that he had always been imprelfed with a gloomy opinion on this fubjea. He confeired he did pot at this•moment look to the future fi tuation of the Com pany with a fanguine eye. By prudence and econo my he thought much might be done ; but the Com pany ought not, and could not expea a great addi tional revenue. As much was already drawn from their territories as could well be expelled. It was there fore to economy principally they were to look for a change in their affairs. As to the fupport to be given to the inclination of his conftituents, ten years hence, by the Honourable General (Tarleton), he could only fay he hoped the Honourable General would, at the expiry of that period, continue their reprefentative. But at the fame time, he had no hefitation in decla ring it to be his fixed opinion, that the prefervation of our empire in that quarter of the globe depended on the prefervation of the Company. If the patron. age thence to be derived once found its way into the hands of any Minilter of this country, be he whom he might, there was an end to the conftitutioa of this country. Mr. WHITBREAD raid he mull now oppofe the palling of the Bill. The Bill, however, was patted without a divifion. MILITIA BILLS. Lord CASTLEREAGH, for the accommodation of the Houk, wished to fettle the mode of proceeding in the difcullion of the : different Bills now on the table. From what be faw he was eon !timed the difcuffion in the Committee of Supply of to-morrow. joined to the Irifh Arms Bill, would be fufficieut for that evening. He therefore wined that the Committee on the Militia Cook.' pletlon Bill mould be taken to-night, leaving the debate on the principle of the Militia Transfer Bill, which bad already gone through a Committee, and was among the orders for this nigh: to be reported, to be re p; sited as amended, and it, along with the Militia Completion Bill, which Ewald alto be re-pritated after it came out of the Committee, _to be further con fi dered on Monday. After a few words from Mr. WINDHAM, Lord HaNalr PaTry, and the Cunt; eaten R of the Esc it me re, in which It was declared to be underflood, that the agreeing to the Re port of the Militia Transfer Bull on Monday, mould not argue that It was to be read a third time on Tuefday, this mode of adjuttmene was undo - flood to be agreed to. Mr. WINDHAM then moved, that there be laid lin hire the Houle an Account of the number and effective Force of the Army at the aft of March Mkt, 6, and 7. Alfo of the Number of thole who at there different periods had entitled from limited to will : tni'ed Service: and 0 4 the number of Defections.—Ordered. Mr WINDH AM puts queftion to the Chancellor of the Ex. chequer, as to the Expence of the Waggon Train; but both quef tion and atufwcr were conv:yed in a tone fo much refernbling a whifper, that we were unable to coiled its import. MILITIA COMPLETION BILL. - - - On the motion of Lord CAS rLEREAGH the Houfe went in to a Committee on the Britifh Militia Completion Bill. In the courfe of going !hrough the daisies, however, they were Cu worded as to apply to England and Wales only. When the Committee c ,me to the claufc by which it was pro vided that parifhes, &c. should proceed from three months to three months,to make up the number of men required, Lord CASTLEREAGH propofcd, and it was agreed to,that the ballot loold ceafe at the end of fix months ; but for the accom• moslation of counties, places, &c requiring either amended lifts or new lifts, it was ordered that a farther period, with the approba tion of his Majefty, be allowed, viz for amending fuck lifts, an extended period of one month, ands where new lifts should be deemed necefrary, a period of two months. Thus, in one way, the period of competition with the recruiting under Mr. Wind ham's plan would be limited to feven months, and, in the moll extended fenfe of it, could t nly go to eight months. When the Committee came to the aloft which regulates the commencement of the next ballot, the blank was filled up with I the words " not until the I ft of Jahuary, r 810 " Mr. BIDDUI.PH propoled a new Blaine, declaring in fubftance, that no Peer of the Realm, Ecelefiattic, or other perfon pufreffing an income of sea per annum, or upwards, (hall be entitled to claim the exemptions to which thcl might otherwife be entitled. This gave rife to a good deal of difeuffi In. The motion was fe• I conded by Lord MILTON, who expretred his awns coovidion, that if we could not entirely do away the inequality of the ballot. we ought at leaft to make the meafure as little burdenfome as poffible to the poor ; with refpcdt to thole who bad property to defend, if they were unable to (tree in palm. it was but Nit that they fbnuld contribute towards the defence of their property. The CIIANCKLLOR Of the Excel mu XII, Lord CAB Sir LAUKENCe PACK, Mr. LOCKUART, and the Lotto ADVO CATE of SCOTLAND, oppofed the Clank, alledging that this de privation and exemption w.,uld extend too generally to the infirm and aged, to women and children, and that it would not be ade quately proportioned to different variations of Income. Upon a divifion, there were—For the Claufe 8- 1 1gainft it 6e. Several new Claufes were brought up by 4.ord Castlereagh, which were all agreed to; and a great number of verbal Amend ments made.

Government have at length received the Official Letters of Lord HUTCHINSON, with refpeet to the Battles on the Pregel. Lord HurceiNSON is reported to have fent duplicates of his letters. Otte packet, from fome unexplained caufe, has wholly mifearried: the other has now arrived. A Mellinger. fent In the interval of the IA difpatches, and bearing a letter is which his Lirdthip is Gild to have referred to his fiat difpatch, arrived before either of them, but contained little or nothing refpeffing the operations of the ar mies. It is only, therefore, by the difpatch lali re ceived, that Government haye received the officigl details of the late diallers. It appears that the Ruffians, whom we (hould have imagined to have aulletled luificient magazines daring The long winter, were compelled to break up their Camp, and commence their retreat, from an abfolate famine. So ftrangely was every thing conchnSed t that the army was fupplied only from day to day 14 the predatory excurftons of the Cafacks. When theta means failed, by the French boric taking the field, the Ruffians had not provilions for two days ; and were in confequence, with a great difadrantage t compelled to break up from an impregnable pofition, and attempt to make good their retreat to Koningf berg. Lord Hurcareson'i narrative of the battles which preceded that of Friedland, is Paid to differ but little from the French accounts. The Ruffians fought with the moft undaunted courage, and where they met the French on equal terms, invariably repulfed them. ant the fuperiority of the French Generalfhip was vifible in every conteft. The Ruffians were fuccef lively attacked in the moil difadvantageous pofitions. Under there circumilances, they as invariably endea• voured to cut their way by a charge of bayonets. — The French mufquetry, polled to great advantage, made a molt dreadful havoc : 7 —the Ruffians were deftroyed by files, and their courage only rendered the (laughter more certain. In the mean time, the French, confcious of their perfonal inferiority, and well underftanding their other advantages, never ventured either the (word or the bayonet : they truned folely to their mufquetry and artillery. The confequent (laughter is Paid to have been dreadful. It is further added, that the Pruffian army, being in the advance guard of the Ruffians, had (offered" 'very little in the battle of Friedland. This cliCum- Rance had been very favourable to the King of Prof. fia, as it left him in polieffion of a very refpeashie force. It is Rated in Tome farther accounts, that the Pl.l perot NAPOLIOX was fo well perfuaded of his advatr tageous pofition, that three or four days before the commencement of the firft battles, he had informed the Emperor ALszatane a, that the Ruffian army was in his power—that he neverthelefs offered him an honourable peace, which, if the Emperor AMMAN. Dee deemed it prudent to refute, the Emperor NA. t.-Lsom would be compelled to reduce him to circum• fiancee in which neceffity would become his advifer. To the above, report adds, that in the Treaty of Peace. concluded between France and Ruffla, they have agreed that each of them (hall receive a portion of the Turkiils Territory—as alfo that the Emperor ALEXANDER, the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, Prince Kottaxts, and General BENNIGSEN, have contented to become Members of the LEGION or flomova.
