Mr. tA•routsT justified the commitment of m r .

For the slice of consistency in tli r eeedings of the House he most *ills such a T y.ceeding nnw to be adripted ; and to afford an op portunity of presenting ouch a petition he should now t iove, as amendment , --" That the House should F roceed to the other Orders of the Day." Mr. C. W. WYNNE defended the commitment of Crngan. With respect to the mode of impiisoarnent which he had suffered, the Hon. Memb:r consid.2red that the 11011 Se was bound in justice to its own d.g nity to make inquiry into it, either by the appoint ment of a Committee, or otherwise. He also con sidered, that even if the prisoner had been guilty of the offeece imputed to him, he had suffered sufficiently by an imprisonment of nine weeks. lvfr. STEPHEN thought Mr. Crogan should to morrow freknt a Petition, neither asserting his inno cence nor acknoile4ins his guilt, but simply praling his discharve. Mr. S. WORTLEY thought'Mr. Crogan should be discharged withqut any Petition. Mr. C. JOHNSTONE read a Ltter from Crogan, complaining of the nature of his confinement in New gate. Among the complaints were, that he was ob liged to Sleep v.ttli a man who had been condemned to sliff...r death ; and 'that he was obliged to pay even fur that indulgence. Sir J. SHAW def'end'ed the 'character of Mr. New man, the Keeper of Newgate, for kindness and fill towar‘k those placed under his care. Mr. P. GRENFELL hoped some enquiry would tike place as to the ttion of the prisoners sent by that Ht , use to Necega.te. Mr. CANNING thought this person had already suffered enough. The House then divided—For the motion, 74 Against it, .57. The motion for a' Committee to enquire into the sltuati of Mr. Crept), in Newgate, was carried in the affirmative without a division. DEW MAIM. . - !rh o t.oftenhajen Gazelle of June 5, contains the fel. : , • • ' . . On the Mat alt. ao English navalOffieer, who arr ivrel in the road in a flag of trace, delivered a letter front Mr.:hhoruton, the English Envoy at the Court •Of Sweden, and from the Engl.sli General-Hope' together with another from the *medial Chan cellor, Baron Wetterstedt. both dated on board the• English man of was, Defiance, Admiral Hope, in Kioge Bay. it was at the same time stet eel, that the Russian General, Baron Von Suchtelen, was on .beard the same vessel, in order to participate in the ne gotiations for peace, proposed, on the part of England, in the aleNe•lnesetioned letter; and for Which purpose the said Envoy and General declared themselves tope pruvideer with full powers, as was a'so the Swethsb Chancellor to treat with regard to the doubtful relations now subsisting between Denmark and Sweden. " After what has, already been communicated to the Public tenon this subject, his Majesty's faithful subjects in both ling- dome, and in the Duchies, will not be surprised that the Crown Prince of Sweden, in the name of his Swedish Majetry, should tele-e'en( It as a proof of Moderation and dialnterestedueu,, that there is row demanded, on the part of Swedeye, the cession only of the Diocese of Drontheint, with the territory lying be tween it and the Russian frontier. They will herein perceive only another proof of those scandalous and oppressive demands which have lately esposed the inhabitants of Norway to the pri vation of that peaceful condition which prevails among them, and which accords with their common welfare. They will find it no less incompatible with their sentiments, and the rational feeling, that a demand was at the same time made, that 25,000 Danish troops should be plated tinder the command of the Swe dish Crown Prince, to be employed in conjunction With those of Sweden and other Powers, in the North of Germany, against France. " Upon this basis have the English Plenipotentiaries propose,' a negotiation for the re-establishment of peace with Great 11 . 1 - 1. tall ; at the sante,psiretally observing that there can be no cessation of hostilities, for the benefit of navigation, unkss the Royal troops in Jutland and Holstein are previously placed at the disposal of the Swedish Crown Prince. Upon the conclusion Of peace, the colonies are to be restored, but not the island of Heligoland; not is there to be any indemnification for the loss of the fieet. " Every inhabitant of these kingdoms and countries may be assured, that these propositions were, by his Majesty's command, answered in a manner corresponding to the dignity of the Crown, and the known interests of his States. The flag of truce returned from this place in the afternoon of the ed inst. It was ordered to wait only forty-eight hours for an answer. " His Majesty, deeply afilieted at the scarcity which inevitably resulted front a prolonged defensive war, which interrupted the corn trade, and obstructed the communication lattweenUenmark and Norway, had, as is already known, made proposals of peace to the Government of Great Britain, but the person who win authorised to deliver them could not obtain a hearing. To the propoials which, with the same view, were transmitted through the medium of the English Envoy In Stockholm, for the informa tion of his Government, no reasonable objection can be made, as they claimed the restitution of all that had been taken from his 'Majesty, in consequence of the unexpected rupture ; or an in demnification for the came, and to guarantee to his Majesty the possession of his States. When two Governments, after the breaking out of a war, unite again, in order ta cenclude peace, us:tilling is more usual than to demand indemnification,; but such demands are not to he constituted indispensable prelimitariee, w.thout which negotiations are not even to take place. " It will, on the other harid, be remarked, that the proposals for peace and reconciliation, just made by the Agents of the E.4g4ish Government and the Swedish Chancellor, are entirely depuident upon such ereliminaries as have no justification what eves in the events of the war in which Denfaark has been involved wi. h England. Both the above-mentioned Governments endea vour to give their demands a colour of justice, whilst they, on the contrary, rifer to engagements entered into among Haan selves, by which the Kingdion of Norway is destined to become subject to Sweden; as if any °Nista on upon his Majesty could thence be derived to fulfil what had been stipulated between his Maj..sty's enemies and a neighbouring Power, whose Ruler en deavours to separate the two kingdoms from each other, whil-t he, in the mean time, rulijuga , es Norway. " It Is the King's unalterable determination to maintaia the union of Lis kingdoms.

Lord CASTLEItEAGii moved the Order of the ray for renewing the debate on the 13th Resolution, teipecting the affairs of the East India Company. He cnntendt.d that this subject had suffered as much mis repri-sentation as the commercial part of the question, Pori was no more meant to open the way for the in. troEaction if Missionaries into India, without restric tion or regulation, than there was to admit of an open trade with India, completely free from regula tion or restriction. It was intended completely to guard against any violence being done to the religious Lelings bf the natives, in the attempts b teach them the truths of our religion. It wus not intended to allow persons to reside in India who would insult the religious prejudices of the natives; and the question was, whether this Itesclution did or did not, more th in any other, go to prevent this ? If Gentlemen wished to exclude persons of peaceable lives from te.iching their own doctrines, they would be going farther than the native Governments themselves ; ter leave w.is given by almost all of them for Missiona ries of peaceable demeanour and good character to teach and preach quietly. He hoped we should not be e..e only European Power which had held possess :ions it' India that would wish to prevent the Hindoos from reciiiiiing the same advantages from religious knowledge which we possess. He consideted that no apprehension ought to be entertained on this subject. Sir H. MONTGOMERY asserted, that even Mr. Schwan) himself, the famous Missionary, made yeti , few converts, unless in the scarce time of the year,' and these converts were. called " Rice Christians," Arabians who fled from persecution in their own country and Persia ; all of whom had been unable to make converts among the ancient inhabitants of India. Even the Mahometaths and Portuguese could not snake converts by the power of their arms, for the natives rather chose to perish than to give up the re ligious belief of their fathers, in which they them. selves had been educated. The People of India would soon become jealous of our encroachments on their religious worship. The most politic conduct would he to improve the morals of half-cast Christians in be—' GOD and a just Cause.' " Almost insuperable obstruvions have been thrown in the ivalluf the corn trade to Not way, vi ids the view of weakening the codrage of the brave Norwegians, by the cries ot th.ir svivLs and children for bread, by the want ut food for their necessary subs:stence. These are the weapons that have been employ. d against an innocent people, to seduce them into disloyally to thhir lawful King, who bas been incessantly occup:ed wi h Lie means of relieving their necessities, and who has left nothing Untried to restore peace upon bout urable terms—who will not, however, lend a hand to dissever the Union ot the two Kng : dont , , inherited frona his ancestors, and which ale to bias equaily dear."

BONAPARTE is at Dresden, where his guards, horse and f oot , ' have also arrived. He has been wished by a Dan;th 1 Envoy, and it is added that a Danish corps, acting 1 under Marshal DAV OUST, has occupied Lubeck.— These Papers also contain a foul libel upon England, 1 and upon the Duke of Brunswick—the former is accused of buying, and the latter of selling men to fight against the French. The Hanseatic Legion has also been sold by TETTENEOEN for the same purpose. It is thus by clumsy falsehoods that BONAPARTE at tempts to check the effervescence of patriotism which is still spreading in Germany : but his malignant efforts only prove that there is a description of force in the field against him (we allude to the patriotic spirit of the inhabitants) of which he is as much in dread, as of the Allied Armies.
