Mr. BROGDIEIf brought up from the House of Commons the .Irish Insurrection Act Continuation Bill. On the motion of the Earl of LivsitrooL, this Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Friday. ' The Alehouse Licenses Bill was read a third time andpassed. The Scotch Spirits Drawback Bill was committed. The Annuities Memorial Bill was reported. Lord SIDMOUTH moved the second reading of the Prison Consolidation Acts Bill, and that it be committed for Friday wei with the Turks, Ministers were at least called on not to s'tew a n y f a v our i i i f uture to ihat dettsted races - A t ong its picion however prorated that much more favour *as extended by this country tc) the Turks than •to the Greeks. In confirmation of this he would direct the attentio* of their Lordship' to the Turkish frigate which was now fitting and arming at Deptford. A Bill had been brbught into Parliament two or three'years ago,- fat` preventing any armament from being sent out of his country td theahl of any belligerent nation ; t British Goa vernment then must take tare not to turn this la.w to their own account. It had been said in another place that the Greeks had colnmitted as many cruelties as the Turks; but this he denied, for nothing could equal the atrocities of the latter. The Greeks were attempting to establish a free Government against the most detested tyranny in the World ; and theta was scarcely a man in England who did not feel anxious in their cause. His Majesty's Ministers, how ever, seemed quite fearful of doing anything in their behalf; and he attributed their apprehensions alto.; gether to the increasing strength of Russia. Now, if Russia were endeavouring to extend her territories, he entertained no apprehensions with regard to Greece; fur if the other Powers of Europe should resolve on establishing an independent Government there, the• power of Russia never could make any impression. on it. He would, in short, risk everything, sooner than the Turks should prevail in their frightful career of cruelty. , His Lordship concluded with moving, " That an bumble Address be presented to his Ma jesty, praying that his Majesty would give directions that there be laid before the House Copies, or Ex tracts of any Communications received from his Ma , jesty's Minister at Constantinople, relative to the execution of the hostages in that city ; and in the island of Scio." . : This day was publiAed, in 8,0.

They certainly should not be greater in Wales than in England. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the Attorney-Ge neral, whom he had consulted on this question, was of opinion that they were the property of the Public ; but his own opinion was, that they were a part of the Revenue of the Crown.

A Special General Cohn of Proprietors of East India Stock was yesterday held at the Company's ilouse, in Leadenhall street, for the purpose of considering the Draft of a 13111 now pending in Parliament, for the adjustment of the long existing account between the Company and the Public, which, after some conversation, was unanimously agreed to. The CIIAIRMAN informed the Court, that certain Papers which were presented to Parliament since the last Court, were now laid before the Proprietors for their consideration. Those Papers were of very great importance. They related to a claim of very great magnitude, which had been made on the Company by Mr. Prendergast, as the Agent of certain Banktri in Calcutta. That claim was now before a Committee of the [louse of Commons; and without meaning to provoke any discussion on it at present, he must say, that the Court of Directors, satisfied of the in justice of the claim, wou!d give it every opposition in their power.—(l tear, -hear !) The titles of the papers were then read, and the documents were laid on the table for the use of the Proprietors. EAST INDIA TRADE BILL. Mr. Titairr inquired whether the Resolution of the list Court relative to India-built Shi••ping and the duty on East India Sugar had been communicated to his Majesty's Government ; and if so, whether any answer had been received? The Cuataatar; said, such a communication had been made, and an answer, which should be read, had been received by the Court of Directors. The Clerk then read a letter from T. P. Courtenay, Esq. Se cretary to the Board of Controal, in which he stated, that it was not the intention of Ministers to press forward the Bill for col.- solidating the East India Private Trade Acts this Session, but that it was their determination to bring forward that desirable measure early in the ensuing Session.—(Hear, hear!) DISPUTE WITH CHINA. Mr. Lowman wished to know whether the dispute with the Chinese had been amicably settled? and whether the Company's ships would bring home as much tea this year m they were ac customed to do? in consequence of the dittintE it had been rumoured, that the Company's ships would noticing home so much tea as heretofore, and the tea-dealers .hatt. immediately raised the price of that commodity. The CnAnissArc said, the Hon. Proprietor most be aware that it would not be prudent to answer one of his questions, and with respect to the dispute with the Chinese u had bcon amicably settled.—Tho Coutt then Adjourned. The projected man iage between the CROWN PRINCE Of Prussia and Princess AIAXIMILIANNE Of BAVARIA, one of the twin-daughters of his Majesty the King of 13AyARIA, will take place without the Princess changing her religion, notwithstanding the remon strances of the Protestant Clergy of Deihl), who ale apprehensive of the consequences that may come from placing a Catholic Princess on the throne; but the Pi iacc, it seems, was so taken with the charms of this amiable young Princess, that the King his father could not prevail on liiint.elt to tense his consent. On the Order of the Day for committing the Scotch Juries Bill, The Earl of LAUDERDALE stated his reasons fur sup porting it. He pointed out the many defects that now existed with regard to the selection of Juries, who were always ap pointed by the Sheriffs ; and this was a practice that ought not to prevail. This Bill went in a great degree to correct the evil in question; and in order to render it more complete, he should move an instruction to the Committee, to put the nomination of Juries in Scotland, in criminal eases, on the same footing as in civil cases. The Duke of MONTROSE said he must differ from the Noble Earl in what he had stated, and he would not consent to give up a practice which had long existed, until it was shewn that such practice ought to be altered. He would not support the Bill ; but as it had been brought forward by wiser men than himself he could not oppose it. • • The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed with the Noble Duke that no alteration ought to be made without necessity in long established usages, merely as principles of theoretical improve ment ; and he would not consent to do away a practice which had long existed without any complaints being made against it. .Lord MELVILLE said, if they were to judge Irons the small number of criminals tried in Scotland, there would be no great reason to regret that the Criminal Laws of that country were such as they now were. The present usages had .grown up from time immemorial, and were familiar with the habits of the people. He did not see any reason why the practice should be changed, and therefore be should oppose the motion. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that as it was not in tended to oppose the Bill itself, he should not press his motion. The Marquis of I3UTE said he should concur with the Noble Viscount, as to the impolicy of altering the practices as they now existed ; but he should support the. pill. The House then went into the Committee, and Lord Lau derdale's motion was negatived without a division. MASSACRE OF THE GREEKS. The Earl GROSVENOR rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice on Monday last, and he hoped in doing so, that he should be able to induce Ministers to alter the line of policy they had hitherto adopted respecting the Greeks.— Their Lordships and the other House of Parliament had been for some time occupied in investigating the distresses of the Agriculturists and of the Irish pea sants. They had also been occupied in investigating the disgraceful traffic in slaves, with a view oti en , deavouring to prevent the other nations of Europe from carrying it on ; and it was lamentable to think that they had not put an end to that horrible traffic. It their Lordships, then, had been occupied in those benevolent purposes, it was surely their duty to. take into consideration the state of those unfortunate people who were now so cruelly oppressed by the Turks, and put an end to the horrors under which they suffered. It was not necessary now to consider. what was the cause of the war carried on between the Turks and Greeks—whether it was the result of a spontaneous and involuntary impulse to shake off a detested tyranny, or whether it had been secretly urged on by Russia. Whatever was the case, it was well known that the horrible warfare did exist; and some step ought to be taken by this Goverilnient for. putting an end to it, He did not now propose any inquiry into the state of the negotiations between Russia and Turkey, nor into any other extraneous matter, but confine himself simply to one object.— Their Lordships must all be aware of the horrible massacre that had taken place at Scio ; and that after the cruelties perpetrated on an unoffending people, the hostages at Scio and Constantinople were put to death. As soon as it was known that hostili ties were nor likely to take place between Russia and Turkey, that moinent was chosen. by the Govern ment of the latter country for perpetrating the hor rible act of executing the hostages. It had been said that the Minister nom England, as well as other Ministers, had made a representation to the Porte on this subject, expressive of a hope that the execution might not take place, and that the ' English Mini s ter I had obtained a pledge that the hostages should not I be molested ; but this was afterwards disregarded, He would not say that an act of this kind on the part of the Turkish Government was a came of war;' but it was an act which would justify England and ; all Europe in withholding all communication with' Iso detested a Government ; but, indeed, he believed that all the horrors in question originated with the • The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed that,. when. ever anything occurred in a foreign country which .. affected the interest or honour of our own—whether the same happened through error or intentior might be all& ground for Parliamentary inquiry and explanation. But -he wished the House to see how- the question now stood. A dreadful act had certainly. • been committed by .the Twits; but what right had the British Government to interfere with respect tO the conduct of a foreign Power towards its own sub jects? • If such a principle were to be maintained, he• wished their Lordships to consider how far it would: go. A Member of Parliao ent might move for an account of the events which had taken place in Spain and. in France. • Then, with regard to our own coun•i• try, in case of a rising of the People here, and of great tyranny exercised by our Government, in en deavouring to suppress the -insurgents, what would. their Lorchhips say to the Ministry in France, or any other country, who should call upon our Government' for an explanation of its conduct ? Where, he would: ask, was such interference as this to end ? He had always held the opinion, that cases might occur in which this country would be justified in interfering, when such cases involved our own interests. Hut he never knew that one country had a right to interfere upon a question at issue between the Government and . the subjects of another country. Lord StrangtOrd, ur Minis;er at Constantinople, might, from motives' of benevolence, have tiled to exer• his influence to; avert the dreadful evil in question ; but he could not have done so on any gibund of light ; and if any in teiference,had tak e n pl ace on .h is part , t h e present motion, it agreed to, would only serve to prevent a similar interference in future from being attended with any effect. If Lord Strangford• iiite: lered, it was solely on the ground of humanity. The inter ference respecting the ' Slave Trade, to w hich the Noble Lord had alluded, was. one of a very different, nature. It did not relate to the conduct of a Govern , ment towai ds its subjects : it was n.eiely an applica tion on our part to foreign Powers, requiring as con-: ditions annexed to the treaties we were entering into with them, that they should prohibit their subjects from carrying on a trade in _slaves. Those who talked so much of the horrors committed' by the. Tui ks, should recollect that the Greeks had been guilty of horrible cruelties ; and that at Scio the first horrors had been committed by them. He should not enter into any discussion of the question whether the 'finks should be driven out of Europe into Asia ? but he would maintain that with regard to us they had observed the stn ictest neutrality.
