The Royal Assent was given by Commission, to the tae Exchequer Bibs' Bills, the English and Scotch Local MiYtia Amendment Bills, the Sugar Bill, the Irish Sugar Bill, the Waste Silk Bill, and about twenty-th ree Private and Local Bills. The Commissioners were, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Mar quis of WINCHESTER, and Lord Wa Ls' ncuAst. Chamberlain's Divorce Bill passed through a Committee, and received some amendments, which were ordered to be reported on Monday. Sir HENRY VANE TEMPEST, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Mr. BUR REEL, and other Members from the House of Conurions, brought up several Private and Local Bills, which yore laid upon the table, and afterwards read the first time. Upon the motion of the Earl of CLANCARTY, it was or dered, that the Report of the Irish Butter Trade BM be taken into consideration this day sennight. The Earl of ORMOND presented a Petition from the Roman Catholics of the County and City of Kilkenny. Ordered to lie on the table. The Newfoundland Corn Trade Bill, and the Canada Rum importation Bill, were read the third time, and pan ed. Adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Usher of the Black Rod summoned the House to the House of Peers. On his return, the SPEAKER acquainted the House, that that House had been summoned to the other House, where they heard read the Royal Assent, given by Commission, to several Public mid Private Billa.—(See the Lords). ST. PANCRAS CHURCH. Mr. MELLISH moved the second reading of the St. Pancras Church Bill. In doing so, however, he merely acted in obe dience to instructions from his constituents, as a Member of the County of Middlesex, and without supporting either side of the question. I.ord CLIVE opposed the Bill, and moved, by way of amend ment, that the Bill should be read that day six months. Mr. STEPHEN supported the Bill, as tending to provide ac commodations for the Poor to attend rt ligious worship. Mr. BYNG and Sir JAMES GRAHAM opposed It. Mr. MELLISH was directed by his constituents, to take the sense of the House. Strat.gers were of course ordered to withdraw, when the House divided—For the second reading now, 34—Against it, ss. I he Bill of course was lost. EAST INDIA COMPANY AFFAIRS. On the Motion of Lord CASTLEREAGH, the House fortn ed into a Committee on 'he Eait India Affairs. Mr. COOPER was examined, but his evidence was scarcely audible. He confirmed Mr. Hastings's opinion, as to the dan ger of an influx of Europeans in India, and as to the improba h.lity of canverting the liseians to the Christian faith. He con sidered the Resolutions of several Meetings in this Metropolis is likele to create mischief an India. He knew of many instances n which whole investruents were sold under prime cost ; and seas bri , fiCli that the consumption of European commodities was telly supplied by the trzcle as it at present existed. This witness having withdrawn, Mr. A. Graham was called in and examined by Mr. R. Jack 'son. He stated that he-had been in the service ot the East India Company from the year 1769 to 1808. He principally resided at Bengal, and was in the Civil Departnemt. lie believed, from experience, that the habits and prejudices of the natives were hxrd and unchangeable. They had a quick s.msibility of any affront offered to their religious reeltne, and were particularly jealous of a , y affront to their women: Icon the authority of the Cons party, under the tr.:sent establishment, their servants were pre vented irons offense; any such affroets. If the trade of India was opened to all the ports ot this kiugdorn, and a considerable influx of Europeans was to take place in India, and that they should be allowed promiscuously to have intercourse with the natives, he toad no doubt but that mischievous consequences would eesue.— Many adventurers who had already found their way to India, had •ompletely faikd in their expectations. The Indian markets weer already glutted with European articles, which were in many in ;maces sold under prime ceet, and in others could not be dii osed of, but through the medium of sales by auction, raffles, or other unusual means. The further testimony of this witness went to ecnfil m the evidence of those who had preceded him. While under examination by the House, Lord A. HAMILTON observed, that the time wt apart for the examination of wit nesses had elapsed; he, therefore, suggested the propriety of Mr. Graham withdrawing. '1 his proposition was acceded to by the Committee, and the House resumed.—Mr. Lu SHINOTON reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. Mr. Graham will be again called to-morrow (this day ) A Message from the Lords announced their Lordships' assent le the English and Scotch Local Militia Bills, and also to several priv%te Bids. WEYMOUTH ELECTION, AND INTERFERENCE OF THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND. Lord A. HAMILTON rose to make his promised motion for the production of the remainder of the evidence given before the Weymouth and,Melcombe Regis Election Committee, and he trusted before he sat down, that he should be able to prove to the House that it ought to take some further notice of that evidence. The Committee had reported that three Members bad siolated an Act of Parliament, and that their return was void ; they also made a special report on the manner of voting in that Bo rough, and the evidence on those points had been laid before the House ; but there was also evidence on a third point, and that was as to the interference of Peers, and particularly of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland—and what he then called for was the whole of the remaining evidence, which re lated to what he considered to be the improper and unconstitutional interference of the Duke of Cumber land. He did not intend to arraign the conduct of the Committee in not making a report on that evi dence, but had he been a Member of it he should probably have acted differently from the majority of that Committee. He did not wish to adopt any pro ceeding beyond moving for the evidence. The House would see the extent of his present object, it was merely to obtain the evidence he had described.— Before he proceeded farther, he should request the Clerk to read the Petition of the Burgesses of Wey mouth, setting forth the improper interference of the Duke of Cumberland ' • . and also two Resolutions,, the House annually agreed to, relative to the illegality of any interference on the part of Peers of Parliament in the election of Members of the House of Commons.—(The Rgolationt and part of the Petition were then read.)—The NOble Lord continued. He hoped he had satisfied the House that the PetitiOn complained of undue and improper influence and' in 7 terference on the part of the Duke of Cumberland, and he trusrecl that he had also Fonvinced them that such interference was illegal and unconstitutional. If the Resolutions which had been read were not meant to operate, if they Were never intended to be resorted to, he could only say that they were a snare to him, and those who thought like him, and that they were a mockery and insult to the dignity of the House. He warmed, the duty he was sus an on. • pleasant one ; and he very reluctantly entered upon it ; but It was an imperative duty, and if the House valued its character, it would interfere, in order to clear that character from suspicipn.—(Hear, hear.) So notorious was the interference which be com plained of, that he had seen it charged in a public newspaper, ant by the same medium, a letter of the Duke of Cumberland's writing had gone forth to the. public. He thought, therefore, it was necessary to them and to the cctintry, that the House did not connive at such practices. The letter he alluded to, he had taken the trouble to verify by the evi dence given before the Committee, of which it con stituted a part. The Noble Lord then read the letter—it was dated the 2cl of October, 1815, and went (as the Noble Lord thought), to prove in terference ; it expressed a hope, that the person to whom it was addressed would support the persons nominated by the Trustee of Sir James Pulteney, and spoke of an endeavour made by the Royal Duke to procure a place for the said person, stating, that he had applied to Lord Liverpool respecting the place, but that it was in the gift of Lord Mulgrave, &c. The Noble Lord said that he would not occupy the time of the House by producing any more evi dence of interference ; but if any further was thought necessary by Members, he assured them he was pre. pared to produce it. It would perhaps be said, that the Duke had acted in his capacity of trustee ;—but admitting that fact, he had violated his duty as a Peer of Parliament, and the Noble Lord confessed he should be much surprised to hear the argument used, inasmuch as there were three other trustees, who might have acted if any interference had been neces sary, without infringing the laws of Parliament ; but those three persons had been put out of the wry, that his Royal Highness might have the whole manage ment of the borough to himself.—(Hear, hear.) The House hid always scouted the idea of Parliamentary Reform—he spoke of the determination of majorities and not of any speeches made in that House ; but if they would give him the evidence he asked for, he would shew them a strong reason for a reform in Parliament, indeed he knew of no greater reason for reform than that with which the evidence would fur nish them. The Noble Lord would not trespass longer on the time of the House, because he saw no reason for denying the evidence ; but, on considera tion, he would state one fact, which had nearly es caped him, and which he thought strongly proved interference. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cum berland had thought proper to possess himself of the Writ, for which he had paid a price, and by the pro duction of the evidence the House might verify that fact. As he had thought it his duty to interfere in other cases where the privileges of the House were at stake, he could not refrain from acting in the present instance, which he thought the most aggravated he had ever witnessed, and particularly induced him to come forward, as no other Member thought proper to stir in the affair : he would not urge the House to do any thing mere than to lay the documents on the table. He would not make any further motion, nor ,would he pretend to say what the nature of such motion should be ;—but he thought; if the evidence were produced and proved, the facts which he had stated woul.l prove some ulterior proceeding must be had, in order to vindicate the character of the House, and to shew to the people that the House was not unmindful of their rights. He would conclude by moving— " That there be laid before the House such parts of the evi dence, given before the Committee of the Weymouth and Mel combe Regis Elect , on, as are not included in the Special Report of the Committee to which the Report was referred." Mr. C. LONG felt himself obliged to oppose the motion of the Noble Lord, as he thought it would be highly improper to take such matters out ot the hands of those to whom they were entrusted. The Noble Lord had urged as an argument fur the pro duction of the evidence, that the Petition complained of improper interference on the part of the Duke of Cumberland ; but that he considered as one reason for not granting the evidence, as the complaint had been referred to the Committee, which had not thought it necessary to make any report thereon.— For his own part, he had particular reasons to doubt the truth of the allegation of interference, because a similar charge had been made against him ; and as he knew that charge to be false, he was inclined to doubt the truth of all the others.—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition.)—He had first learned that he was accused of endeavouring to influence the Election for Weymouth, from a Newspaper, which had (as he thought, very improperly) published an ex /carte statement of the speech of the Counsel for the Peti tioners. He would tell the Howe what was the mighty offence of which he was accused. He had a relation atWeymouth, and that relation had heretofore offered to vote for any person whom he might recommend. —He made a similar offer at the last Election, and he had in consequence written to him to request that he would vote for Mr. Wallace and others ; and that was all the part he had taken in the affair. He con fessed lie was very much surprised when he learned that an act so exceedingly innocent had been descri bed as the very acme of guilt. He had merely writ ten I, a letter to his brother-in-law, for such was his relation (hear, hear,) and because he had used the plural number, and said, " we wish you to support Mr. Wallace," &c. it was therefore inferred that Mi nisters had interfered, and had been guilty of the most atrocious violation of the purity of Election.— He confessed, he w a s a t a lo ss t o k now i n w h at t h e ' crime consisted ;—because even the tyranny of Ja cobinism had not decreed that such interference ought not to exist. What the Learned Counsel had said of him, he freely forgave, although he tia..h.r stood he had been used rather roughly ; but it the Learned Gentleman thought he could thereby ad vance the cause of his client, he was extremely Nvel - come so to use him. For the reasons he had addu ced, he would move the Order of the day, , 6 that the House do now resolve itself into a Committee on the Weymouth Voters' Bill." _ _ Mr. Alderman ATKINS explained the reasons whiCh induced the Committee to confine their Spe cial Deport to the case of splitting votes, and vindi cated the conduct of the Committee in the line of conduct they had pursued. The subject or: which the Noble Lord asked for evidence, the Coinmittee had not thought worthy of a Report. It was true, tie Petition charged delinquency on Ministers and Peers of Parliament ; but the charges were not pro ved. The charge against Lord Rivers was quite laughable, and the kiouse would have thought lightly of the Committee, if if had reported ott such mat. ters. The Wdrtby Alderman doubted whether the House could interfere on this point. With respect to what had been said of the Writ, he would ask, Whether many Members of that House had nit possessed theMselves of Writs, for the convenience of their friends ? and he could state to the House, that no improper use had been made of the Writ, as I had been forwarded to its place of destitution as soon as possible. Mr. W. WYNNE replied to the observations o . Mr. Alderman Atkins, and said that the Worthy Ai. derman appealed to labour under a total mi,take a, to the duties of an Election Committee. He NA, one who originally thought tbe whole evidence ought to be produced, and he still thouv,ht so. Th., speeches of the Gentlemen opposite were .not re'w• rant to the matter. The Right Hon. Gentlemr,-; (Mr. Long) had argued, that the evidence given 0.• oath before the Committee was exaggri-ate , d,becpul, an extravagant statement had pared in a News paper—(Hear, hear !)—and the tby Alderman had inferred, that as the charge ag.tinst Lord Rivers was unfounded, there could be no truth in the accu sation against the Duke of Cumberland (Ilea:, hear.) —With respect to the obtension of the writ by his Royat Highness, the statement of the lionourable Member did not apply ; as the case of a Peer ob taining a Writ for the convenience of a friend, was not very different from that of a Commoner obtain. ing it for similar purposes—(Hear, hear.) For many reasons, he felt bound to support the Motion of the Noble Lord. Mr. BATHURST opposed the Motion, on the ground that it would place the House in a very awk ward situation, by introducing the practice of recon sidering matters which had been previously referred to a Committee. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said the arguments which had been adduced ag:iinst the Motion appeared to him to be inconsistent with each other. The Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, asserted, that the act of the Committee was decisive ; but he would not go the length of saying whist was maintain ed by an Hon. Gentleman (Alderman Atkins), that it was final. The course taken appeared to him to be adopted for the purpose of blending a question of right with a question of decorum. It was said, that if it was improper for the House to interfere in mat ters touching the merits of disputed elections, in the first instance, it would be still more injudiCious to do it in the second, after a Committee had decided.-. But the cases were completely distinct ; because, if they took cognizance of the case in the beginning, their proceedings might probably affect the right of the parties sitting, or of those who petitioned against. them, which was the specific polio that must ulti ntaxly come before a Committee ; but where the Committee bad decided as to the right of sitting in Parliament, the House were not precluded from exer eising a discretion with respect to other circumstances. If it were a question relating to the seat, the House could not emertrin it ; on that subject, they must agree with the Committee : but it.wasJor the House to judge whether other circumstances did not mist, though unnoticed by that Committee, which requi red investigation—(hear, hear.) He was surpriaeel at the hesitation of the 1-1, n. Gentleman (Aide:man. Atkins) to give an opinion on the question, whether a Peer of Pailiament, procuring a W,eit of Election, was an interference with the Orders of that House The Order expressly said, " no Pier of Parliament shall interfere in any manner with the election of Members to that House." Was it then no interfe rence to get possession of the writ of election ? The Order, in fact, was stronger than he had stated it ; for it said, that a Peer should no: even o concern himself" in such elections—(Hear, /par.) But the Hon. Gentleman denied that any inteiterence had taken place ; because the writ was sent to Weymouth as soon as possible. That very expedition might be necessary to the object which a Peer had in view— (hear, hear,) it might best answer his purpose to get it there as soon as possible—( Hear, hear.) This was a case which peculiarly called for tl:e intervent'on of the House, on account of the rank of the in.%eidual engaged in it. - The higher the person, the more it behoved the House to be guarded in their proceed ings ; for in proportion to the elevation and rani: ci the party concerned, with the more suspicion and jea lousy would the public view the conduct pursued by them. When such a case was presented to them as that made out by hie Noble Friend, he could not be lieve, until he saw a majority opposed to the Mo. tion, that they could so far forget their own dignity and character, as to refuse documents tending to prove whether there had or had not been a lareAch of the privileges of that House. Mr. ROSE observed, that by the Grenville Act, the whole of the charges against the election of the Sitting Members, of which the interference now com plained of formed a part, was submitted to the Wey mouth Committee. They accordingly had made their report, and be recollected no instance in which, after such a report was given in, the House had de termined to make farther enquiries. The inconve niences of such a practice were evident ; it would authorise any Member of the House to look into the minutes of the Committee, and if dissatisfied, not only bring forward the whole question to be tried again, but also to criminate the conduct of its Mem bers. In short, it would defeat the salutary provi sions of the Grenville Act. _ Mr. WHITBREAD tose amidst cries of question! guethon !—observing that he should be glad if some of those Gentlemen who had made up their minds, and were so clamorous for the question, would favour him with some of their arguments against the Mr tion; for hitherto he had remained quite unconvince,t by all that he had heard (It the opposite side. The whole gist of one Right Hon. Gentleman's reasoning was, that by acceding to the motion, the Committee would be placed in an aukward and embarrassing situation. But whose fault wasaliat ? Had they not done so themselves, by overlooking this flagrant in. vasion of the freedom of t lection ?—(1-itar, hrar).— His Noble Friend had stated in tlat most evri ss terms, that a Royal Duke had interfered wi!lt the rights of popular election, and in contravention (1 the resolutions of Parliament, in two several ways : one was, that he got the Wt it lan - Weymouth into his Possession, thus obtaitnng the contiol over it. To this it was replied, that no undue delay ensued : but it might as readily have been the Royal Duke's into. rest to send it expeditiously as to &lay it ; and the fj,inpls itcc of getting posscsbiou of the writ was as
