Our. liengal servants are equally as sickly as the European soldiers; the fever, however, must be with them of a less degree, as few have been carried off by it ; they have, however, become perfectly helpless, and look miserably. CALCUTTA, Juxi 25. We have been favoured with the perusal of letters from Rangoon, of the 28th and 30th of May, brought by the recent arrivals, from which we learn, that every thing was going on tranquilly and well. The treasure was expected in a day or two, as on the 28th the May-, woon, in charge of it, was very near to Rangoon. It is said he brings the whole of,the instalment, and there is no doubt of its being a considerable proportion. Since the restoration of tritnqUillity, the population of Rangoon has increased in a most astonishing manner : it is suspected that part of the augmentation is only tern .porary, the people being so far on their way to the south ern settlementi : however, such a purpose is not,avowed., The Burman authorities are very suspicious of the in tentions of,tha Peguers, and very universally expreis a hope that we may be solicited to remain some dine at Rangoon, until the new order of things is fully esta- 1 blished ; no ital:nation of such a wish, however, has been otficially made; and our preparations for a final rcntove proceed without interruption. We understand that shortly after Sir A. Campbell's return to Rangoon, a party with elephants and cattle, weiedetiched from the land COhlttlfl to' Manahan by way of Pegu. In consequence, however, of the untisually early commencement of the rains, the roads proved im passable, and the patty were compelled to return-to Pegu, whence they will proceed to Rangoon. 'the most friendly intercourse is maintained between the British Authorities and the Burman Chiefs, and amongst others a letter has been received from Udina , the ez-Rajah or Martaban,wbo is rather in an awkward Predicament s *: be has not been" restored to his Govern ment by the Court of Ava. This Chief is 70 years of age, addicted to the use of spirits, mischievous at all times, but particularly when in his caps. He served under the bundoola in Assam and Camay, and from his temper and habits is not unlikely to be a troublesome neighbour, it replaced in his post. His power to do mischief, however, must be very limited, and his years and propensities render it probable he will not, however well disposed, be troublesome long. Commerce was beginning to revive at Rangoon, and considerable supplies of grain had been already re ceived from the Mattab.tn province—a proof of the productiveness of the latter. Flat Tilt MADRAS GAUTTE, JULY 15. Our Corespondent at Rangoon gives the following information : RANGOON, Juas 19, 1826. The Moira arrived line on the 16th instant, with the two i Chiefs .of tivoy, and three Vakeels, who• were lately prisoners of war at Calcutta. The other prisoners, viz. the Rajah and Rahnee of Cheduba may be ex pected every day, by the steam-vessel. The other ships which have arrived between the 14th and this day, are the Thetis, the General Wood, and the Hydery. His Majesty's ship. Atlas, from the coast of Africa, arrived this day. The non-arrival-of ships from Madras, makes all the. Madraisees, high. and low, very anxious. The trade of Rangoon is returning by degrees to its usual briskness, and the population of Rangoon has consi derably increased. Those fugitives whO have returned, as well as the most considerable part of the l3armans, Jive buoyed pp with . the Wipe that the English will per manently retain Rangoon: if they .do not, the Bur mans, will all remove to the territories of the English. —The n town is becoming very prosperous; houses are building, and some of the settlers ' are so so enter prising ..s to send to the Coroniandei coast for brick and chutiGni ; but they will find it an nnnecessarrez pense, as the country aboun3s with lime—and bricks may be be easily male, tl.e clay of the country being peculi.irly fit for that article. c c it • !-currA,Jilyr la A :light epidemic, M e understand, erevails at present Calcutta.

Lord KING said, he had another Petition to present on the subject of Corn. Some thought the least said the better upon the' Corn Laws at this time, yet he timid not abstain from offering a few observations. Parliament had been made to understand, and he was sorry for it, that no alteration would be made in the Corn Laws until after thetolidays. An alteration was to be made, but what that alteration was GOD only knew. He really thought his Majesty's Ministers did not know themselves. He suspected that, when it came to be known, it would be found to . be the risi* • eirnir of improveruent. The Report was, that seventeen ibiliitSprit-litas to be the importation duty, inateadik thirty-five shillings. - There was, it was also 5a1,c4, 2 1 malignant party who never did justice to good inten tions.• A spirit something like the good and evil prin ciple known In the Mkt:* His • Lordship was afraid the bad spirit upon the Corn Question would overpower the good. The Petition he had to present Was from Manchester signed at a numerous Meet ing, held on Tuesday, the 25th of October. It stated, that in the twelfth year of peace they were suffering from the means taken to prevent a free importation of grain, which deprived them 'of the advantage of exporting their manu factures, and kept them with. out bread. The Earl of LIVERPOOL—"t Before I say a word on what the Noble Lord has thought proper to state presenting the Petition, I wish to address a few obser. vations on what passed yesterday. Aly Lords, I was &Sim at the House yesterday and the preceding .day, and I found the House adjourned. I came down to the House at five o'clock, the usual time for public busi ness. I see no objection why business should not com mence at an earlier hour. I never had any objection to four o'clock, but it should be known that public busi• ness is to begin at that hour. I certainly do not mean to be drawn by anything the Noble Lord has said, to a dis cussion of the Corn Laws, but I must say, the Noble Lord is wrong in the first place if he thinks his Majesty's Government have not come to a decision on this gun. lion. His Majesty's servants have come to a decision, and nothing prevents them bringing it forward before Christmas, but a feeling that they would not be dealing fairly with Parliament, if they brought it forward at this period of the year. Parliament have met oaly for the purpose of granting indemnity. If it were not for that, there are many other circumstances which render it expedient that Government should not state their measures on. less they can be sure of a full attendance of Members. flaying proposed to discuss this measure early after the receu, I will not be led to state what that measure is, because I think a partial state ment might be productive of great public inconvenience. L will certainly call the attention of this House to it at an early day after the recess, because it is my wish this House should be put in pos session of the sentiments of his Majesty's Government on the sub ject without the least delay." The Earl of LAUDERDALE did not mean to say there was anything objectionable in the plan of the Noble'Lord. It might be proper and reasonable for the Noble Lords to say they had reasons why the coun try ought not to know at the present moment the measures in contemplatipn, and all he wished was, that those measures known to the Noble Lord might be made known to the country in time to allow all parties the opportunity of expressing their opinions. The Noble Lord had said, the table would be loaded with Petitions from the agricultural interest ; but there could be no de parture from the Interest of the communityat large. The agriculturists did not wish to come to the House with Petitions complaining of the Corn Laws, mixed up with Parliamentary Reform, the sale of Church property and Crown Lands ; these were the last things they were interested in. They wished that Parliament might legislate for the protection of agriculture only. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he sliabld (eel ashamed if, on a question like that of the Corn Law, there was any disposition to defer the discussion beyond the proper moment, or to conceal the object of the measures to be proposed to Parliament. The Noble Lords in that House, as well as elsewhere, would not think it unnecessary to wait for the discussion. At the first sitting in that House he had given notice of his inten tion to make a general exposition of the measures he, should submit, with a view to the settlement of the question. There was but one interest with the landholder, as well as the commercial,part of the community, and when the question could be mooted, that would appear. In the meantime i: was important to the landed interest that the deciion should not be long delayed. Feeling that the suspension of this question might operate on individuals, he should say there ought to be no delay. Having said thus much to meet the plea of dilatoriness, which might be urged when the question should he brought forward, the Noble Earl expressed a hope that it would satisfy the House, and meet the view of the great interests of the country. The Marquis of SALISBURY wished to see some alteration is the Corn Law. He considered a change necessary. Viscount CLIFDEN was convinced the Noble Earl at the head of his Majesty's Government intended to do that which was beneficial to the country. He thought at the same time that to introduce any unnecessary delay upon a question of such magnitude would produce; the greatest inconvenience. No one could tell what was the state of the Noble case. His hope' was, that whatever might be the result of the measures in contemillation, that the system of ave rages ought to be got rid of. - Lord CALtliLitYaPproved of the measures of the Noble Earl, and expressed a hope that when due con sideration could be given to the question, it would be discussed on equitable principles. The interests of the Agriculturists were important in the view of pits. muting public prosperity, and he could not help feeling that the manufacturers would be deceived if they depended upon putting an end to thilr sufferings, by procuring a lower price fbr Corn than it aught to stand at. l'he Earl of LIVERPOOL said he could satisfy the Noble Lord of the inconvenience of bringing forward the question at this time. Nothing indeed could be'so inconvenient as bi inging forward the question at a time' when they were not sure they could get through it. He bad already stated that if it were possible to bring it lot ward, then he should be ready. There was, however, no opportunity. The pl4rquis.6f, LANSDOWNE said he had some . Petitions to resent against the Corn Laws, and it kad been hisAntentian to mike a few observations on them, but after that,Whiib the lkfoblibitd bad said, hl should Ostain from smk,feg on the kubject.

The greirt ivesticin in the censideratioa would be, whether they could discover the means of en thling the manufacturer ro 'puidhase the Vticessaries of life Upon terms which - would enable bins to compete with the manufacturers of other countilei. With respect to averages, the Noble Martinis agreed that it was a system of vice in the Corn Law, which enn•rhe amended. He entirely approved of the proposition of the Noble Lord at the head of his Majesty's Government, and was ready to titre every_ 'slipport tb his proposition. ' • - • The arlg of LAUDERDALE agreed in many of the observations made by the NOW Lards, but his bore *as not very sanguine on the subject. He had for merlYbrought -forward a peace system of Corn Lawn, and be believed It wOuldlage had the effect of producing low prices. The history of the Corn Lawl.proved that the manufact sting and agricultural interests had been common, and be could not join in any opinion which supported any hostile feeling towards the Agriculturist. Tne Marquis of LANSDOWNE. did not mean to say there was any difference between the Commercial and Agricultural interests. He might have °said some ' hostile feeling had existed, but be meant to have said such a feeling ought not to exist. It • would be ruinous to both. There was but one interest to look to; and that was the interest of the community at large. Lurd ICING agreed there was but one interest, but there was a narrow and a broad view of the question. It was the interest of the Agriculturist to have high prices. The Manufacturer's interest was to have low prices, that he might compete with the Manufactureis upon the continent of - Europe. • The Noble Lord then presented a Petition from the Town of Brechin, In Scotland ; air) Petitions from the Corporation and Magistrates of the same town, against the Corn Laws.—The Petitions were read and laid on the table. The Earl of LAUDERDALE then moved that an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that orders might be sent to his Ambassadors, to return with convenient speed an account of the laws in force respecting the exportation of Corn, and the duties imposed thereon, as well as upon the trade of this country during the last twenty years. The Motion was carried. Rail BATHURST laid on the table Copies of a Treaty of Pine made with the King of Ava. The Nom.' EARL also presented a Petition from Mr. Gourl t+y, on the subject of Orders in Council relating to Emigration.—Lid on the table. The Earl of ROSEBERRY moved for a Return of the quantity of Foreign Oats, Beans, &c. admitted to the Ports since the issuing of tho. Order in Councii.—Ordered. The House then Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. At four o'clock the Sneeze took the Chair, and several Mem. likes were sworn in. Sir J. BRIDGES brought up the Report on the Canterbury Rail Way, which was received. General GASCOYNE brought in a Bill to Amend the Liver. pool Railway Act.—Read a first and second time. A Petition was presented, complaining of an undue Return for the Borough of Pumfret.—Ordered fur consideration on Wednes day, January 10. Mr. POTTER* M'QUEEN gave notice, that he should shortly move for a Return of the number of Appeals which had been brought before the Quarter Sessions. throughout the country, during 1824, 1825, and 1828, distinguishing those which referred to the settlements of the poor. The same Hon. Member gale notice, that it was his intention to apply for leave to introduce some. measure founded on those Re turns respecting the Settlement of Paupers. Mr. MABERLY gave notice that he should very shortly move that a Monthly Account be published of the Quantity of Gold and Silver imported ; and also an account of the Quantity of Gold sod Silver exported. Mr. id A BERLY gave notice that he should, as early as possible after the holidays, move for the Repeal of the Assessed Taxes. Colonel TORRENS presented a Petition from the Seamen of South Shields, praying fur a Repeal of the Corn lawn. The peti tioners stated it to be their belle( that the laws in question acted as an unjust tax upon the price of bread, and that they tended solely I to enrich the pockets of the landlords at the expense of the rest of the community. With the latter statement be (Colonel Torreon) could not perfectly agree. The whole of the proceeds of the taxi I I levied through the Corn Laws did not go into the pockets of the Landed Proprietors. The tax was distributed in various ways. A part went for seed, a part for tithe!, another part to meet the high prices of feed for cattle, and the test went to the Landlords. It could not, however, in the present state of things, remain long with them. When once the manufactures of the country, whether item their high price or any other cause, were excluded inno foreign markets, the Landed Interest would speedily find that they must be content with far lower prices than at present. Lord MILTON presented a Petition from the Weavers of Car lisle, praying for a repeal of the Corn Laws. That was its first ob ject, but it embraced also a variety of topics. Its contents might be divided into five heads, besides the chief object it had in view. First, it prayed that that part of the public propel ty, called Church property, should be sold, and the proceeds applied to the reduction of the National Debt. With that proposal he (Lord Miltod) could not at all concur. Secondly, it prayed that the Army might be re duced • to the same strength and scale of expense en which it yeas previous to the late war. Thirdly, it prayed for the abolition of all sinecures, and of such pensions as had nut been bestowed for ser. vices rendered to the country. Fourthly, It prayed for a sale of the Crown lands, and that thiproceeds should be devoted to the exi gencies of the State; and hfthly, it prayed for an equitable adjust ment of the National Debt, and of all other debts, leases, &c. • As Ihe before remarked, however, the chief desire of the Petitioners was to have the Corn Laws repealed, and that once dame, the other subjects might be taken into consideration. The same Noble Lord presented a Petition from Bradford, pray ling fora repeal of the Corn Laws. Mr. DUNCOhIBE bad been requested to support the prayer of the Petition, ind he certainly was of opinion that sonic beneficial change might be effected in the laws in question. He was 'nut, ►owever, prepared to censure them so strongly as semi. die% 'nor could he pledge himself to any specific course of conduct, especially while he was ignorant of the nature of the measure which his Ella• jesty's kiloliters intended to propose. Lord Mime presented several Petitions from different parishes in Yorkshire, praying for a repeal of the Corn Laws. Mr. MIME presented a Petition from the Silver Plate Workers of Birmingham, praying for a repeal of the Corn Laws.• Alive a similar Petition from the Trades of Arbroath. MR. ROBERT TAYLOR. Mr. HUME said that he had been requested to pre. sent a Petition to the House, which was one of con,icker. able importance with respect to the right of the subject to enjoy civil and religious liberty. The Petition was signed by a Mr. Robert Taylor, who appeared to him to have suffered much for conscience sake. It stated that the Petitioner had beck regularly ordained in the Ezta. blished Church of this country, and that he had . taken Bacl♦elor of Arts degree at S.. John's College, C4m brtage that after the must serious ciiii:idelation and'reillection, he found it impossible to give credence to .ths dgctrincs of,the .E:tatilished Chula, and that ' , dictators, be had felt himself bound in duty to renounce
