The Royal Assent, by Commission, was given to the Eccle siastical Courts, the Appropriation, Lord Nelson's Estate, Lord WeUington's Estate, the Silk Bounties, the StoresEtuberzlement, the Irish Fees, the Chancery Clerks, and a few private Bills. The Commissioners were the LORD CSANCILLOR, the Duke of MONTROSE, and Lord REOLSDALE• Mr. ADAM was heard at the Bar, as Counsel for Petitioners against the Irish Spirits Distillation Bill, when Counsel having withdrawn, it was suggested by the LORD CNANCLLLOR, and agreed to by the House, that if the Petitioners had any thing to urge against the progress of the bill, their objections ought to come in the shape of proof before the Committee. The Earl of LAUDERDALE regretted that so much vacell latiun should prevail, as he had Aserved of late, in the admini stration of the Excise Laws, an unsteadiness which naturally and necessarily tended to deter men from embarking in the distil. lyrics laue property, so liable as it must be to he injured or de stroyed by such a system. But the mod.: was not only injurious to the large Distillers, but must inevitably tend to impair the Revenue it s :If . Af'er a few observations from the Earl of CI.ANCARTY, the Bill was read the second time, and ordered to be reported on NVetillesday next. Alderman Costae and others, from Commons, brought up thelllJA Auctions, and a few private fills, which were read the first tune.

Mr. H. ADDINGTON rose to apologise for the delay which had taken place in the production of criminal rounds moved for by the Hon. and Learned 'Gentleman opposite (Sir S. Romilly), and assured him, that it had not arisen from any want of per. sonal reapect. Sir S.

EAST-INIIA BILL. Mr. LUSHINGTON brought up the Report of the East-India Bill. On the question that it be read, Mr. W. KEENE said, that though he could not indulge the hope that at that period of the Session, in that advanced stage of the Bill, any considerable alterations would be admitted in its enactments, he yet felt it his duty to protest against a measure which appeared to him so pregnant with mischief to the in terests of this country, both in Europe and Asia.— Very fallacious hopes were indulged of commercial advantage from an unrestricted intercourse with In dia, as would appear from the circumstance of great numbers of artisans being scattered through the dif ferent Presidencies, ♦rho were all able to manufacture those articles which it was proposed to export ; there were also documents to prove that there were sixteen millions in the hands of the natives of Bengal, ready to be employed in such a manner as would most pro mote the manufactures of that country. The Hon. Member then commented on that part of the Bill which related to the missionary system, contending that it would be productive of many evils, unless the utmost precaution was used, and maintaining that the happiness of the natives was best consulted by the British Government in India, deriving their power from that House, but not shackled by injuri ous regulations. Mr. ELLIS was anxious that some provision should be made to guard the West-India Merchants ' from the ruinous effect of the open trade to India— particularly in the articles of sugar and coffee—and he wished that the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) would' afford some explanation on that head. He was un willing to press him ; hut he was desirous of learning whether it was in the contemplation of his Majesty's Ministers to make such an increase in the duties on ti.e articles he had mentioned, as would keep pace with the increased facility of importing them from the East Indies. He did not ask to know the precise amount sf duty, but merely whether such a principle would be recognized? Lord CASTLEREAGH replied that it had been the object of his Majesty's Government to confine the enactments as much as 'possible to India alone, and to apply their attention to other collateral points in a future Session. He had no difficulty, however, in stating, that the attention of Ministers had been seri ously directed to the subject mentioned by the Hon. Gentleman ; and it was their opinion, that the two articles of sugar and coffee should remain as near their present footing as possible, leaving an detail connected with the question to a future occasion, when if might be more fully and advantageously exa mined and discussed. Mr. HOWARTH had expected, from the speech of the Noble Lord when he opened this question to the House, that they should not have been confined to the clashing interests and commercial squabbles of the Company and the outports, while they utterly overlooked and neglected all those points which rela ted to the internal policy of India, as it regarded the administration of justice, agriculture, police, or natio nal improvement. He could not help lamenting that the whole scope, aim, and object appeared to be, to lay the East-India Company prostrate at the feet of the Bo ird of Controul, and, by an overbearing sys tem of licenses, to overthrow all those constituent checks which had hitherto existed against the prepon derating and undue influence of the Crown. The precipitation with which the Bill had been hurried through the House WAS equally the subject of regret and reprehension. With respect to the principle, as it was not practicable to increase to a considerable degree the exports to India, how was the national capital to be employed, as described by the Noble Lord ? The British merchant was not so welcome in India as the foreign merchant, because he could not take bullion thither. He denied that the East- India Company could now be considered as mono. polists, wimever might have been their original cha racter. Having created an extensive commerce— having swept every hostile banner from the penis snla of India—having established a solid empire—it was suddenly discovered that the Estit-Inditi Company were an unfit instrument of Government ! They h td been making great exertions to acqatre an erten:Ave territorial possession, to which they were now to be told that they had not a shadow of right I It would I be much more proper to p iss a short including the two first clauses of the measure be.ore the House, and to reserve the consideration of that import ,nt part of the measure which followed to the nest Ses sion of Pat Hamelin Mr. R. THORNTON stated, that the rismmons of the Court of Proprietors of East•ledia stock jot to-morrow, was, although premature, out of respect to that body. The Chas ter was far from every tiring he could wish. Th.: East-India C , nyarty had been sacrificed to the clamours of the On India flan been the envy of I3onap trte, and the conseqoence the Berlin and Milan Decrees w..s tae si.iaaii,n in which the East India Cernail. : . were piaced.— Headmitied, however, that t:.e investigation at th a Bar of that House and in the Lou= ace h..d been serviceable, as it wool J, he trusted, lit ter unwary adventurers from engag..ng in a confiner ce which must be destructive to t::ein. 'I k,ast.l :daft Compaly had been the pioneers 01 ;_,ei.eral commerce. They ha I risked th..: , r tortoises in %le cause, and . ..reit the Jives of many individuals c nnected wi.h the Company had sacririced. loins h ,d been the nurse or military genius. That illustrious individual who had recently achieved studi 2.l:ay fur his country Av.is one of the numeri.us Getter .1s of distinguished ch:.racter educated :it tae expense and in tile territory of the E tst• India Company. The Report was then read. Various amendments ; were proposed and agri el to. • On oete ot the clauses which respected religion, Mr. A. ROBINSON deprecated t:ie c .nsequences of sty measure whic:i might appear to noel tete with th e re ligion of the n itives. He knew from ninet va- Lions, that any discontent among the native troops had hitherto been most easily suppressed by recalling to their minds the care which h id been taken to secure to ti.etri the unmolested exer..ise of their own religion. lie did not attribute to Government any wish to inter fere wick the religion 'of the natives, but the tendency weu.d be injutiotis. He m:tved to omit tiom the phrase in the clause, ‘• to introduce useful and reli stun, knowledge" the words a and religious." Lord CAS I'LER EAGH opposl this amendment. The intention of Parli-ment WAS distinctly marked in the Bill. The same sentiment as that which the Bill now contained was proclaimed on the grant of the last Charter, with tais difference, that in tire former case the declaration was g eneral, whereas now it was accompanied with a specific stipulation in favour of the natives. He could see no ground whatever for the alarm on tais subject that seemed (he had no doubt with the best motives) to agitate the breasts of some lion. Gentlemen. He trusted the House would not accede to the amendment ; and he regret ted that the question had again been brought under diseussiou. Mr. FORBES having already given his opinion pretty fully on this siroject, sinnitel content hiniselt at present with reading .-xtracts from some letters which he had received from Gentiemen who had resided long in India, and were competent judges ot the ef fect of such a measure. One of those letters stared, that 44 it was madness to send out Missionaries to In dia for the purpose of converting them to Christia nity, which was impracticable.—and as to morality, the natives of India had much more of that than the generality of the people of this country." Another extract of a letter which he read commenced by stat ing, that it appeared as if Bonaparte must have had some influence in originating this measure, for the purpose of exciting a massacre of the Europeans— (a laugh.) He himself believed, that ninety-nine out of an hundred who had been in India, would be found adverse to this plan. After a few explanations between Lord CASTLE. REAGH and Mr. Foams, Mr. STEPHEN said, that even the witnesses which those Gentlemen themselves produced, b. , :e testimony to the peaceable , lemeancur and harelless conduct of the Missionaries who were its India ; a:td so far confirmed the distinction which had been taken bet,ween . the voluntary exertions of individuals and the interference of Government. The natives of In dia were often stated in that House as great readers of English newspapers, and very apt tin be alarmed by discussions in that Howe. That doctrine, how ever, now appeared to be abandoned, and the alarm was to proceed, not from the d.scussion, but from these two words being in the Pell. It appeared to him, however, that nothing would be more than that this country should be afraid of doing that which the French, the Dutch, the Portuguese, and every other nation which traded to India, had not been afraid to do. The idea of Bonaparte's having any influence in producing this measure was strange enough—but it would appear to him, that Bonaparte would have a much greater handle against the cows try if he could state to the Christian world, that we were so selfish and pusillanimous, that we dared not allow the Christian religion to be propagated in In dia, for fear that it would injure our commercial Ir. terests. The Scriptures had given the commif.i. 44 Go ye forth to all the world, and preach to every creature." Would it now be said, that no man must go ford; to the 60 millions of Indians under our' pr , .• tection, or talk to them of Christianity ? It had Len said to be impracticable to convert them; but it ax peared that no less than nine hundred tlinuar.l them had been converted in India, besides the C'ht is tians in Ceylon. He then dwelt for some Lace or. the solitary instance of the mutiny of Veil v bids he maintained to have been occasioned by the cc a, duct of the Commander in Chief on that station ; and that the changes which were prcpused were felt as a civil degradation, as well as conceived to be the beginning of a system for fircing them to Lecome Christian, or rather to abjure the Genteo religior., as they could perceive uo sort of religious wuv.:::p among ti:e generality of the Europeans in India.— Was it to be believed that all the Learned Judge lvd stated was false ? if false, it was not to be believed. but it would !rive been contradicted by the eloquent advocate of the Hindoos, who a ited them to be most: noble and etcellent—so goof, that Christianity could not make them better. Notwithttanding S.r Wu% Jones went out with the warmest feelings in thcit favour, yet even he was obliged reluctantly to con fess their general depravity. His leas ned tiiend (Sir James Mackintosh) had given an account ot a wo man, who had perjured herself most grossly, and when asked what she thought of false swearing, said that she nadastood the English nation held it in ab• hon.:nee, but the reople o' her country did not enter tain such opinions. The Hon. Member said, he was aware that all persons who stated that they loved re ligion for its own sake were called Fanatics or Saints. Inn he begged of Gentiemer. not to oppos: the afford ing the bencticont light d Chr istianity to the Indians foam fear of any such oprolmo•is appellations. The arguments of the opposers ot the kesoluti,n, hari. aatiough he was aware it was not their tntenti. a tendency to depreciate Christianay ; bnt he called tt;on theca not merely as Christians, but as stovers of human race, to cae:t thcmsclves to destroy C.:Li most degrading badge, such as ,ad never wevighed di .wn any other r.41:0n, he me int that Of Casts, and nut to oppee. that clause, which only gave the power to his Majc•Ety's Government, to permit persons to :;.,) -lit to India, who were actuated by the best of :nntiVts. Mr. TIERNEY heard with great pain the Hon. m ler charging those Gentlemen who opposed the Resolution with being the enemies of Christianity.— He, for his pat t, and he appealed to his life to prove it, was as warmly disposed to extend Christianity as any Gentleman; and if he thought, in giving his vote against the cl ruse, he was impeding the progress of Christianity, be would not give it ; but he thought his proposition would rather forward the views of the Hon. Gentleman. The Resolution had originally been without any mention of religion he wished to know of what use the preamble was ? he was favour able to Christianity, and he did not know any Gen tleman of whom the Hon. Member had a right to make a contrary charge.—(Hear, isear.)—lt was easy to say, that there was no danger to our Chris tian brethren in India, but he could not, contrary to the body of evidence, which had not been contradict ed, feel so secure on the subject. His objection was, not to the establishment ot Christianity, but to the procl,timing it. It was the opinion of many eminent persons that there would be great danger in a legis lative enactment, and iu his opinion the preamble was riot of the least value ; he wished any Gentleman would prove that it was. Mr. WILBERFORCE said, the clause without the preamble would be unfavourable to their views. It would look as it Parliament had altered its opinioa from the sense of the danger. Formerly the silence of the Legislature had been insisted un as an argu ment by Major Scott Waring, that it was not the wish of the Legislature that any attempt should be made in India to propagate Christianity. It they struck out the preamble, it would appear as if the principle were given up. Gentlemen, by throwing out this clause, would also shut out knowledge and science, and the circulation ot the Gospel in the In dian language, fiom which he eepected more than hom the direct labours of the Missionaries. Ot all opposition, he disliked the opposition of those most. who said we agree in principle, but differ as to the method. He did not mean that his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Tierney) was not sincere in his approba tion of the principle, but he cceld out help recollect ing that he was an old stager. Mr. FAWCETT was against the amended clause. The House then divided. For the amended Rese helot., 48—Against it, 21—Majority, 2i. On the motion of Mr. Rose, after a long conver sation, in winch Mr. R. Small, Mr. ATKINS, Lord Caseeeitseun, Mr. itir LLt,tt, and Mr. Footles took a part, it wac agreed, that the time in wl cif India. built ships should be admitted, sneuld be enlarged from the 10th of April to the Ist ot Augzeit, 1514, unless some provision should bc made in the -next Session.of Parliament resdectieg the same. 11r. R. SMITH theti moved a proviso, that if any India-built vessel should sail from India within a year alur the passing of the Act, se- sti,huld ue tree front forteiture whenever she should arrive in Great Britain. After some discussion the preveo was adopted. Mr. R. SMITH then suggested an alteration in the appropriation clause, the h Ups-1 of 'a hich V.O; is YiltinglliSh mere accurately the comme. - cial Mid ter• iitorial revenues. Mr. TIgRNEY supported it, on the zreund of the necessity of a clear distinction to pi event suture disputes. Lord CASTLE REAGH said it was .in arrange ment now in consideration between th: Dnectoisan4 the Board of Control. Lord A. HAMILTON took the same Lreund with Mr. Tierney. Mr. R. hMITH then agreed to pr , pote it on the third reading. When all tne clauses were dispos.d ot; Mr. LUSHINGTON brought up a clause to nut the prisons educated at Heatord, on ihe s.iue !out ing with those who go directly to Lodi inakng those who had served tour years eligible to ' , laces of .f.:1500 per annum ; those vele) had served seven, to .163000 per annum ; and those who had tesiUc.l ten years, to fe44.)00. This was opposed by Mr. C RANT and Mr. R. S NI t rit, I,
