Lord REDESDALE was of opinion that his amended Bill would remove all the ditficulties that had occurred in the execution of she Act of last Ses sion, but lie acknowledged that time and experience could alone render the permanent system pewiect.— He was therefore willing to agree to the temporary Bill, with the alterations snggested, in order that a' spetdy, discharge might take place of the debtors at : pret, sent in custody, with the thorough understanding tha 00. temporarylosolveAt Bin would be again re iorted to by the Legislature, Pn the subject to which he had adverted Ott aTorsatcr night, respecting the Marshal of the King's Bench not having obeyed the order of the Commissitto, or assigned .any reason.

He (Lord Redes dale) not think' the apologl , snfficient, but geltainly the sending an apology . 'italic an alteration in the case. Lord._ gLLENBOROPGH said it was the far thest from-his intention to advocate the conduct of any individual who disdoeyed the law, but gaolers acting at their own peril , might reasonably entertain doubts until better informed, as to whether they might be liable to an escape for bringing up their p r isoner; under the authority of this Court . He h a d , however, no doubt that under the Act of last Session, as it stood, they - would be completely indemnified in acting ender the authority of the Court constituted .by the Act, and the point had been settled in the Court of King's Bench •a few days since by a deci sion to that effect. There could, therefore, no longer be any difficulty noon this head. With respect to - his temporary Bill, he was willing to agree to the al terations snggeoed, in order that the two Bills niight go on tc.gether. . The LORD CHA.NCET.LOR stated, that he }tad nn doulit xeliatever that gaolers acting under the authority of the Court constituted by the Act of last Session would be completely indemnified for any act done under such authority, With respect to the temporary Bill, the alterations he proposed to Make would be short, in the first place to introduce a new prearnble, that there might be nothing in it of the tepeal of an .tct which the House had agreed to athend, and then to add a clause or two•to regulate the mode in which persons who had gone through the forms under the Act of last Session, might apply for relief under this Bill, The two Bills might thus be passed together. - Lord HOLLAND, after the candour which had been dieplAyed, felt himselicalled opon.no longer to oppose the temporary -Bill,. with the alterations sug gested by the Noble and Learned Lord on the Wool. sick. With respect to what he had stetted regarding the Marshal of the King's Bench, he had received a letter from that Geutleman, mentioning, that he had sent an apology to Mr. Serjeant Palmet, for not bringing up his prisci:” rs as ordered ; and the fact, therefore, of liaviug stilt an apology, so far rade an Alieretion in the case.

When, therefore, the nitOnlePt shouii coMe when the competition of fo reign's.: in this trade was to be apprehended, the sub ject referred to by the Hon. Member would demand I the immediate attention 9f p a rliament. But at pre sent, when no foreign competition existed, it was deemed more adviseable, on various ground`, that our mercha4ts should bring, their Indian cxrgoes to England—should make this country the emporium of trade, aid hence to talce the Indian produce to the Continent, with an assortment of other articles of our produce and manufacture, and so prove advantage ous to our general commerce. If, hnwever, Ameri ca or any other State were trading with the East, there could not be, in his judpnent, any successful resist ' ance to the I-143. Member's Rrinciple. He trusted, I that the commerce of foreigners with our Eastern territories would never be prohibitei ; but as it w.s known that America wild not, and that for reasons 1 unnecessary to detail, nu European State was likely ! for some time to engage in any Indian trade, it not being necessary immediately to press the principle ' maintained by the Hon. Member to the extent of his desire. When, however, the trade of foreigners with India should be resumed, he had no doubt that Par liament would be found attentive to the claim of the British merchant, and that foreigners would not be allowed to enjoy any such preference as the Hon. Member so justly deprecated. 1 Mr. PR cT HEkb E sn,id; that he felt peculiarly happy from the statement of the Noble Lord. He confessed, that he had been disappointed to find that • the p ri n ci p l e of the Bill before the House was not. I , carried farther, but he was satisfied with the Noble 1 1 Lord's explanation. As w the India Company, he 1 could not 'see upon what ground they could feel any jealousy against the proposed or desired extension of i the British merchant's trek in Win produce, be cause the object-of such extension was not to inter fere with their interests, but with the interests of fo reigners, to whom it was impossible the India Com pany could be disposed to grant any preference. 1 The Bill was read a second time, and committeJ for to-morrow, EAST-INDIA TRADE. Lord CASTLERE4GH moved the second read ing of the East-India Trade Regulation Bill. Mr. FINLAY rose not, he said, to oppose the motion, but-to submit some observations upon the line of policy to which the measure referred. It seemed extraordinary that the British merchants were in all cases upon at least an equality with foreigners, excepting in places under the dominion of our India Company ; and it must strike every reflecting equi. table man with surprise, that such a system of ine quality should be allowed to exist with regard to ter ritories acquired and maintained by the British areas, in which indeed so much British Fapital was invested. By the Act of last Sessions it was no doubt provided that British merchants were allowed to trade with India, but under very many restrictions and limita tions, from which. foreign merchants trzdieg to the East were entirely free. The foreigner, for instance, was at liberty to trade to India in a vessel of any size he thought proper, and to take his home cargo for sale to any market in Europe, or elsewhere. — From this advantage, it was notorious that America and other States derived considerable benefit. In fact, to the profits which it yielded, the means which Ame rica possessed of waging ,her present unnatural war with. this country might, in a great measure, be at tributed. But he confessed himself (rite unable to understand the grounds of such policy as would allow any foreigners to enjoy ad-ante:es of trade with our own territories from which British merchants were excluded. Yet, by the present Bill it was proposed, to sanction such exclusion by proaibiting British mer chants from crrying India produce to any European ports, while foreigners, as he before- observed, pre sessed that very material advantage. The clisadyan tage of such an arrangement to British merchants could not be disputed ; for it was perfectly ;leer that no British merchant would bring East India sugar, or other articles of India produce; to the port of Lon don, if he were not compelled to do so, particularly while he could dispose of such articles on so much bet ter terms at Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and other places, to which, however the foreign merchant THE HAGUE, NOVEMBER 22. under the law, quite et liberty to take anylndian Lerree 4 res SERENE 1113311NEIS THE PRINCE QP cargo.

I :estai!tly went on board, and the following morning lamed at 'Sgravasand, and proceeded to Sclievelirg, where the Dutch sailors announced me to Paotcpc ( who holds some office un der the Provisional Government) as an English Cap. tarn. It was in vain for me to tell them, (mar what I was, cr what I was not. The acclamati•ms of the v:hole population drowned every word 1 cc - .:ld say ; and I was instantly put into a carriage, and followed by all ranks. cheering as I went along, vntil 1 reached the house of Couns i Ltmnuira STERWII, Military Go vernor of the Hague. From the manner in which he received me, I instantly perceived he had fallen into the same error with the people : I therefore im mediately declared that I was an humble individual, unconnected with . and unemployed by the British Of any other Goveznmentaand that my views in visiting Holland were purely a a commercial nature- He then asked me, what news I brought ? to which I re. - plied, that he of course was aware that even the splen did victory of Leipste had not created in England half the enthusiastic' rapture that had been pro duCed by the counter-revolution iu Holland. " To my surprise I found, that excepting etc fees, of Baron ream-xi= and It. Few. having land?d. ' they were titainformed not only of the vast prepara tions made in England for their•assistance, but of the universal joy of the people at the arrival of the De puties.

I was then conducted to Mr. pow. csflone's, who is at the head of the PrOvisional pia vernment of the Hague. Seeing that the same re: ception awaited me there that I had received from Count Srs - eust, I repeated my declaration as . to wilt?' and what I was.

He then exclaim ed, 4 Oh, my friend! had you been a British Officer, ' you might have rayed the country• and the-people, • with whom I am determined to stand or fall. The 4 sight of one British uniform would have cheesed 4 the drooping spirits of my gallant, but unarmed 4 cutlntrymen, and struck terror into the breasts qt the 4 detested commanders o' the enenly r ! " Here I began to understand his aka, which was to make such a demonstration of British assistance being at hand, as might deter the enemy from daring to attack, as it was probable, that the spies which the French still bad in the country would report to their employers the presence of a British ofccect as preparatory to the arrival of troops; and in a me• meta I was seised with such an irresiatible impulse to aid, to the utmost of my power, the suffering, tir, noble fellows by whom I was surrounded, the,: ahan doning every original pursuit, I adopted h;s idea, by instantly stripping, and putting on the uniform pit the British volunteer corps to which I belong. No lan guage i mine can paint the joy that sparkled in every countenance, or my admiration of the patriotic glow that darted from the eyes of the heroic HOOCEN• DORP and Svrauss. I was then, amidst the acclarna• tions of thousands, carried all over the Hague. 44 On my return to Mr. Hooomflxine's, he entrea ted one favonr more, namely, that 1 would present myself at Rotterdam in my uniform, and be the bearer of a letter to General LANDAS. Instantly I complied, and about two o'clock I arrived, It ii needless to say, that there a scene similar to that a: the Hague ensued. Admiral KIKKERT, who had that morning declared for Oranje Booven, accompanied me to the dock-yard from the General's, amidst in. cessant shouts of 4.
