He was not certain that jibe were called upon to come ) to a decision on the question a priori—that was to say, if there were no precedents on the subject—he would ever consent to any law by which a Member could be disqualified from voting on any question. He should have felt a priori great doubts of the competency of Parliament tb disqualify, a Member from exercising his discretion even on questions in which he had a direct personal interest—(Hear). Might it not happen that a Member's private interest would be concurrent with the, interests of his constituents ?—(Hear ). He objected to the extension of the ptinciple of disqualification which was proposed by the ,notion—(" No," from Mr. name). if the motion were not intended to extend the law of disqualification, he asked the Honourable Member, in COD% name, to leave it as it stood—(Hear, hear). He thought that the. Hon. Mem bee's proposition was to come to them recommended by the consideration of n ivelty—that it was to deter mine what was doubtful, and supply what was wanting. Imperfect legislation on the subject—and it was legis lation as far as they were concerned—he 'deemed most unwise. The effect of the motion would only be to di vest the influence which was now openly avowed into secret and hidden channels—(Hear). He thought that the lion. Member had not applied himself to the correc tion of the great evil of which there was cause to com plain—he meant the system of canvassing for votes on private committees—(Hear). That which was a mat- 1 ter of notoriety was not so much to be dreaded as that which was transacted in privacy. If he knew any Member to be interested in a measute, he could chal lenge him before the House, and put it to his honour whether he could give his vote on the question, an& such an appeal would not be Made in vain. He cer• tainly would prefer to the motion such a resolution as that proposed by the Honourable Member for Surrey, although he was not prepared to say that he would adopt even that. If such a resolution should be agreed to, it would lessen the power which the House already had over Members It was better that the House should have the power of deciding upon each individual case that should be brought before it, than lay down any general rule on the subject. He did not see that any embarrassment vi otild ise from passing tfr the orders of the day, which was the object of the amendment. He took the law of Parliament at present on the subject to be this—that Members who had a direct pecuniary interest in a question could not vote for or against it. It appeared to him that there was some injustice in that rule, arid 1w was sure that the extension of it might, in some cases, put a stop to all improvement—(Hear, hear).—Since the period of the Loyalty Loan Bill, the question of dif•qualifying Members from voting had • scarcely been agitated. It had only arisen on the pre sent occasion from the peculiar piess of public business. On the best consideration he could give to the subject, he thought the best course for the House to pursue was, to agree tio• the amendment, by doing which they would not tie themselves ngs from adoieing any resolution which might hereafter appear Mr. 11. GURNEY observed, that those who voted on meacures itt which they had a pecuniary interest, had justly met with the severe ca.usure of the House. Mr. C. W. WYNN said, the evil would be more sue . cessfully remedied, if the House resolved to throw out • those Bills in supra of which such improper votes or practices rid been exerted—(Hear). He was for leaving the law as it was; improper votes might be rejected, but he questioned the . power to disqualify votes, as was desired by the resolution.

He only hoped, that as Care was taken very should prefer that the House came to a resolution masking the impropriety of a Member's voting where properly to bar the claims cf the public after a proper time on the Treasury, he had a pecuniary interest involved ; that he thought would be the like pains would be taken to , sufficient to produce the desired effrct. It would then be left to his limit the time when the Treasury could make claim's onl conscience and honour, than which he could not see a stronger tie. individuals. There were man y instances of great hard. Mr. Secretary P'EEL expressed his regret, not that s hip ar i s ing from the liability of persons to be called on the motion had been made, but that there should have indefinitely to'answer for alleged defalcations at a time' been any necessity for making it. He thought it would when all memory of and evidence connected with the be extremely difficult to come to any - resolution on the transaction were lost. He alluded especially to the kubject. He intended to vote for the amendment of liabilities of Military Officers and their descendants, who die Hon. Member for Staffordshire, by doing which he were often called upon to answer for deficiencies of which they bad should not he precluded from hereafter adopting any never heard—Leave was they given to bring in the BM. measure a bleb he should think applicable to the sub COLONIAL PRODUCE. ject. There were three courses which it was open to the Colonel DAVIES moved for a Select Committee for Hone to pursue. The first was to.adopt the motion of the purpose of ascertaining how far certain duties on Co' the Hon. Meaiber for Aberdeen ; the second' was to pass lonial Produce might be reduced, without injury to the a declaratory resolution to the effect stated by the Public. He believed the Chancellor of the Exchequer Member for Surrey ; and the third was to agree to the would not oppose the mea sure, as he a pp eared to take amendment proposed by his Honourable Friend the a more liberal and comprehensive view of the finances Member for Staffordshire. There were, in his opinion, of the country than any of his predecessors for half a great difficulties in the way of the adoption of the ors- century. The commodities to which lie' Wished prin. ginal motion. In the first place, without entering into cipalli to direct attention - were Spirits .and Tobacco; any nice disquisition, the right of disqualifying Mem- for in those atticles it was, that smuggling was carried hers f oat voting was one which. the House ought to to the g reatest extent. The Honourable Gentleman exercise with great caution—(Hear, hear). Members here read a variety of instances in which lives had been __ .. . . _ . . _ milli and the smut host by contests between the . Aary s...Jg glers; and said, that no revenue ought to exist at the expense of so much..human blood. The Honourable Gentleman thought also, that the evil would be done away with by reducing the duties on spirits of home manufacture, and also on tobacco. He wished that they duties could be made tO approach those of 1805. He had been assured that tobacco could be imported for 6d. per lb. the duty was 41. per lb. being 800 per - cent.l While such temptation lxisted, could they expect that smuggling would net prevail to an enormous extent? It was next to impossible to put a stop to the smuggler, for if he was driven from one part of the coast, he re sorted to another. The only method would be, by a reduction of the duties on the leading articles of his trade. He was fi rmly of opinion, that by resorting to the duties of 1803, the revcitue would be *creased four or £500,000. He should, therefgre, move for the Committee. Mr. CURTEIS, in seconding the Resolution, said, that he advocated the measure, principally owing to the slaughter which the system of smuigling continually led to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if he differed in principle from the measure, he might have felt it necessary to trouble the House at greater length than he felt it then incumbent on him to do.— But after the Government had acted upon the very principle, he thought it unfair to take the measure out of their hands, to place it in those of a Committee. He had not driven the smuggler from his fortress, but he had got possession of his outworks, and he had no doubt but that in time he should be able to conquer him alto gether: He therefore felt the necessity of objecting to the motion. Mr. BRIGHT was of opinion, that tobacco was the great fortress of tte smuggler, and he did not think, that any of his strength had b een diminished by taking off the duty on'wine. He thought the continuance of the duty on tobacoo was ii great mistake on the part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer; and he also thought, that it completely justified his Hon. Friend in bringing forward the motion then before the House. Mr. HUME complained that the Chancellor of the Exchequtgr had not done all that he ought to have done, with the documents which he possessed. He (Mr. Hume) did not want him to sacrifice anything, for, in fact, he bad sufficient evidence to satisfy him that by the proposed reduc tions the Revenue would be increased. Mr. H. DAVIS said, if the duties were reduced to 2s. per lb. on tobacco, smuggling would be put an end to. • Alderman BRIDGES was convinced that the mea sure should be adopted. Mr. TRENT said, it appeared to him better to pro ceed gently than to run at everything at once. Mr. HOBHOUSE could not conceive why so bene ficial a measure should not be immediately adopted; and he should therefore press on the Honourable Gen tlemen present the necessity of carrying into effect the proposal Of his Honourable Friend, Colonel Davies. Mr. ' HUSKISSON explained. He was sanguine enough to think that the measure of his Right lion. Friend would put down the smuggling in foreign spi• rite, by reducing the duties on home made spirits. He did not think there was so much smuggling in tobacco as the HOnourable Members supposed; in Ireland h e admitted there was a great deal more smuggling in that article. When he came down, which he hoped to do shortly, to propose the repeal of what were called Protecting Ditties, but which %%ere, in fact, duties fur the encouragement of smuggling, he should then hope for - the support of the Hon. Member for Westminster. But this he only threw out incidentally. On the sub ject before the House, he must consider that his Rig - ht Hon. Friend had gone as far with safety as he could at present. Mr. LOCKHART did not think the remission of Duties could be advantageously carried further; he hoped, also, that tobacco would be an increasing article of revenue. Mr. MONCK was favourable to going into a Com mittee, if it were only to inquire into the subject of Tea. It seemed extraofdinary to him, that there was no increase of revenue in that article, notwithstand jots the increase of our population. There was in that, he suspected, something besides the smuggler; and that something, he believed, was the. East India Company, who, by limiting their sale, or some other means, contrived to keep Tea in this Country, at is and is. 6d. per pound dearer than in Hamburgh or America. pologel. DAVIES briefly replied ;,after which the question Waal pot and negatived without a division. Ti k e other Orders of the Day. were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Tax u'Clooc. INDIA. • ) FROM THE CALCUTTA JOHN BULL OF NOV. 2. GOVERNMENT GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. PORT WILLIAM, Nov. 2, 1824. The following copies and extracts of dispatches this day received from Brigadier-Oeneral Sir Archibald Campbell, K.C.B. and K.C.T S. are published for ge neral information : To the Deputy-Adjutant-General of the Fortes.' SlA—Conformably to the instructions conveyed to me by the Deputy Quartermaster-General, I marched on the morning of the sth instant, with a detachment of the MadrasN. L. Brigade, consisting of 800 rank and file, two 41-inch howitzers, and 40 pioneers, by the road pointed out by the guides, the first part of which was low and marshy, and in many places one or two fee; under water, but, on. clearing an extensive swamp, over which is thrown a woojeu bridge requir ing some repairs, the road became good and lay through a large stockade in ruins. At ten o'clock, I arrived at Todagabe, and finding the troops mach exhausted• from the extreme heat, I halted a few hours to refresh. During our halt the rain fell plentifilly. At two o'clock the detachment moved on, and in , terenty minutes the head of the column was obstructed by a deep nulla affected by the tides ; but by the as sistance of a temporary bridge, which I had caused to he put together prior to my leaving the lines, I pushed over the advanced-guard, which had no sooner crossed than it received a line of fire from the enemy. The leading company of the 3d Light Infantry, under . Lieut. Sherman, was quickly pushed on, and proceeded fifty or sixty yards under cover of trees and bistEhwood, till heieached an open spot, where a party of the enemy had taken post to annoy us in crossing the nulla ; -these he quickly dispersed, and in pursuing the fugitives a stockade was-discovered directly facing the main road, a plain bounding it on the right, its left face being enveloped in jungle. After reconnoitering the position, I'directed Lieute nant Shennan to make a rapid movement -to a certain point, and then wait until the howitzers and other divi sions could be brought up. Captain Williamson, com manding the leading division, scion joined with two scaling ladders brought up by Lieutenant Campbell ; this promising young Officer, I lament to say, received a serious wound shortly after, and fell, together with some of the 3d Light Infantry. Firing and shout ing were pt this time distinctly heard in the jungle sin oar left, and Captain Williamson was directed to detach a party to our flank, and keep in check any body of the enemy that might appear in that quarter, as well as to ascertain whether any other works had been thrown up to flank the one in front of us. In the meantime the howitzers had come up, were placed in position, and opened a fire upon the stockade, 'while Lieutenant Dallas of the 3d, who commanded.the detached pasty; gave them a flanking fire, and turned the concealed stockade, which I had conceived from the cross fire existing in that direction. Captain Williamson, upon this signal, moved forward in double quick time' to escalade the enemy's works, which was executed in a smart and gallant style by that Officer, seconded by Lieutenant Sherman, and the other Officers and men of the 3d Light Infantry. Lieutehant Dallas also ad • vanced and entered at the.same time, from his position. Major Wahab, with the 34th, coming up at the same time, made a spirited charge round by the right face of the works, but the enemy, I regret to say, succeeded in effecting, his escape with a trifling loss. The rear-guard in coming up was attacked by the enemy, when Lieutenant and Quartermaster M.Challon's horse was shot dead. Partial firing was also continued upon our troops from the front and left flank, for some time after. A prisoner was taken armed with an English musket. From this man I obtained information which led me to • suppose that the enemy was in considerable force in the ; neighbourhood, with guns and a party of horse, strongly stockaded. These were spoken of as a different descrip tion of soldiery to those we had hitherto encountered. I was induced, in consequence, to request that I might be furnished with a . strong reinforcement. The corre spondence that passed subsequently on that subject, I need not dwell upon, the Commander 2f the Forces being aware of its nature. On the reinforcement of 300 native rank and file of the 28th and 30th Itegidients, with two more 4i-inch howitzers, joining the detachment, I issued an order, of which No. I. is a copy. I have thought it necessary to forward this document to satisfy the Commander of the Forces that every means were used, in my power, to establish systematic order and regularity. and a proper understanding between all the parties employed tit the operations against the enemy. At two o clock the detachment marched, Major Wahab leading the first division, from which was de tached an advanced guard of a subaltern's party, tinder Lieutenant M.Callan. Prior to moving, I directed MajorWahab, in the event of a shot Leing fired from the enemy, to return it, and push on, without retarding the progress of the force. The same instructions regarded breastworks and other obstacles.of that nature. In 'a Short time a few shots were fired from a distance,' and on the advance party emerging into the plain, a small body of horse and foot were seen about 600 yards in front. Lieutenant M'Callan continued his course steadily ; and on nearing the enemy, the horse sheaved a disposition to threaten oar flank. Our advance formed line, and supported- by Major Wahab, actually drove at them; and the horse, on seeing_this movement, pulled up and retreated precipitately. Immediately after this, A breastwork was discovered, from which several shots were fired. Major Wahab pushed on without a mo ment's delay, and carried it in great style, with a trifling loss on our side. A succession of breastworks on our route were stormed and carried in the same rapid and gallant way by the bravery evinced by Major Wallah and the Officers of that corps; in short, the spirit that animated Officers and men was suck as to insure success in any under taking; bit t I regret to say, that the taking of these breastwoi ks retarded our progress, and the detachment consequently did not arrive its the vicinity of Kikaloo till five o'clock. On reaching the bottom of the hill, I fortunately fell in with Captain Williamson's division, which had just then.emerged from the jungle on the right. from his report-I fotrad the guides had again deceived us, for by their account, the jungle in that direction was ex tremely limited, and on clei it, I had reason to suppose Captain Williamson. w ld have come upon a plain, from which also the guides declared a part of the stockade was to be seen. This was not the caul and Captain Williamson, after innumerable difficulties, could not penetrate beyond a certain distance, and on hearing the retreat souttded, thought it 'advisable to de. sist from any further attempt, and returned accordingly. Our meeting at this spot was truly desirable, for I immediately directed hilt: to form alp 200 men to the right and left of the road fronting the enemy, to cover the reti eating columns. This arrangement, I was happy to find, he had in a great measure anticipated. My next object was directed to forming the men as. they came out bn the plain. This duty was entrusted to Major Ogilvie, whose utmost exertions were used to restore regularity and confidence amongst the troops. The wounded, artillery, and such of the baggage as was recovered, were shortly after sent on, preceded by a party, and the line under Major Ogilvie followed slowly, and when it had retired to a sufficient dit.tantei I formed such part of Captain Williamson's covering divison as 1 judged necessary, into a rear guard, with directions for its following the line, and in the event cif a sally being made from the stockades, to halt, strewing .as large a front to 'the enemy as circumstances and the nature of the ground would admit of. This duty was ably executed by that cool and steady Officer, aided by the zealous exertions of Capt. Williams of the 28th. The detachment, I am happy to say, ar. ived at Toda jee at eleven o'clock, PAL without meeting any annoy ance on the route. The wounded were immediately col lected, and, through the indefatigable exertions of the Medical Officers of the Bd, 34th, and 28th Regiments, and the zealous aid of Captain Milne, of the Pioneers, in procuring the means, of car. iage for such men as could . not be provided with coolies, .I was enabled to move again at two o'clock in the morning, an hour previous to which we had.been disturheil by a few shots from an advanced party . .of the enemy. Capt. Murray and Lieut. Aldrit, of the Madras. Ar tillery, were, from.the first, zealous and indefatigable in their exertions, in bringing their howitzers to the po sitions fixed upon ; and the steadiness and alacrity evinced by them and their men under a galling fire, was such as has on all occasions distinguished that corps. I have deemed it advis . abie to make this unusually long. report, id older to 'put the Comniander of the Forces in . Possession of the mast minete events that occurred in the prosecution of this service; and in conclusion, 1 beg leave to add, that the gallantry and good conduct of Major Wahib b was particularly conspicuous On.all . occasions, 'as" likewise that of the officers of his• corps and division. To Capt. William son and Officers of the 3d Light Infantry, I am equally indebted for their cool and steady demeanour under all the trying circumstances the detachment encountered. I Cannot appreciate too highly the services of Major Ogilvie aud Capt. Milne, whose judg ment, bravery, and steadiness, I had frequent. oppor • tunities of witnessing. In short, to. all the Officers andt • men composing the. detachment, praise is due, but to. Capt. Sneyd, Brigade Major, Btiggs 4 : of the Quartermaster-General's department, and to Lieut.. Trant, of his Majesty's 38th, the latter of whom. volunteered to convey orders,- I am particularly in debted for the able assistance, they afforded me, and for the cool, steady courage they manifested' in all times of danget' and difficulty. • I have ;be lioour to . forward paper No. 2, List oil Killed and Wounded, and have deeply to lament . the severity of the loss sustained, particularly in the death of Captain A llen,who, after having received in, wound, persisted in leading on his men, when a second shot. terminated Isis gallant career.—l have, &c.

Intelligence was received by Government, on the IA instant, that the Bur:nese forces in Cachar have evacu- Kited the ports . of Tilayn and Doopatlie, and retreated to Munnipote. Colonel Innes, commanding on the Sy'het *ft ontier, having learned that the Burmese were retiring, directed a reconnoissance to be made on the morning of the 25th ult. Accordingly a party, under the command of Capt. Hawes, Accompanied by Lieut. Fisher, of the Quartermaster-General's Department. proceeded up the Barak river at day-breakr attended by the flotilla, to Juttrapore, where a disembarkation was effected, and the party marched across to Tilayn, which place was found evacuated, and the works paid) , destroyed. From the information collected from natives of Cachar, who had been prisoners with the Burmese, it appeared that the • main body, which occupied a large cantonment at Doopatlie, left, in progress towalds Munnipore, early on the morning of the 24th alt: and the rear guard had vacated Tila y ti on the night of .thl same day. The same body is said to be now at Banscandee, on the route to Munnipore, distant four days march front the present position of the British force in the dry sea • son; but. unfortunately, the country is still so much under water that it is impossible to march regular troop across in pursuit of the enemy.
