My pretensions to your favour are founded upon a long and t alons course of prcfessional service, and upon testimonials ymm high authorities, which I shall hereafter have the pleasure d submitting to you ; but, in the . meantime, I hope to stand excused in bringing to your recollection, that a few years ago, when your Indian Army was little more than two-thirds of its present n umericalwtrength, you had five military men in the Direction, white at present there are only two. It must be obvious that, from this diminution, the Military Department of your affairs is deprived Of that portion of practi cal k n owledge and experience which it formerly commanded, and which is so essential to the discus3ion of the various import sat questions connected with the interests of your Army. • It Is my intention to prsceed to the Ballot upon some future , vaca ncy, when many of my valued friends will be released N al t og igement% which they are at present under ; and the ' me w s hill be devoted to paying you my personal respects, and mare fully explailitng the grounds upon which I solicit the bbsear of ywr support.

JOHN SCOTT, whose recent death has in terested a considerable portion of the Mille, has left a Widow and two Children, for whom he was unable to provide. By distinguished talents, as well as by exemplary prudence and industry, he had only just reached .the point where he had a near prospect of securing the comfort of those who were dear to him. Some of his Friends have thought themselves authorized, in such circumstances, to Appeal to the general. Benevolence of the Public, on behalf of the helpless Family of a man of ability and virtue. The following Gentlemen have agreed to act as a Can mitteet to superintend the application of the Subscription : Sir JAW'S MACKINTOSH, M.P. HORACIL SMITH, Ellq. FRAKCUI CHANTRY, Esq. R.A. JOHN MURRAY, L. Rev. A. Wangs+, D.D. RO RIRT BALI/W7N, i • • G. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. Mr. A. BARING said, he considered the Bill to have the effect of raising the price of corn in this country in times of scarcity—(Haar, hear).—Setting aside the introduction of the Irish corn into the Ave rages, he - contended, that the mode pointed out in the Bill for taking the Averages world of it•elf tend to raise the pi iceof corn. When the Bill should come . before the I louse, he. h o ped t h e House: would con fine it strictly to the object of preventing frauds in taking the Averages. Mr. LUSHINGTON, in the absence of his Right . 11on. Friend, defended the Bill. He denied that it would raise the price of British corn, though he was not prepared to say what effect it would have . upors, the price of Irish corn. Lord A. II A MILTON said, it was of little conse quence what the intention of the Right Hon. Gentl eman was in bringing in this Bill, if it would have the • real effect of raising the price of corn. After a few worts from Mr. Invtiso and Mr. WILSON, The CHANCELLiHt of the EXCHEQUER said, that his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. F Robinson) would. have no objection to postpone the Bill to a more dis- - tant period, that it might undergo mature considera tion.—The,Petition was then ordered to be printed.

The Irish Clerks at Nisi Prins Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. 110BHOUSE presented a Petition from 2,700 Law Clerks in the Metropolis, complaining of 'lsar occupations hav ing been much injure,' by the us: of the lithographic press, and the general printing of 1.-w processes. He stated that he could not support the prayer of the Petition.—Ordered to be printed. A Alessage came from the Lords communicAting to the House that their Lordships had agreed to several l'rivate Bills, with out any amendments ; had passed a Bill for indemnifying such persons as should give evidence h:fory their lordships upon the Grampound Bill; and requesting leave for the Right Hon. John Foster to give evidence before it Committee of Privileges on the Claim of Viscount Clermont to vote on Elections for Irish leers. BONAPARTE:. Mr. HUME paid, in submitting a motion to the House for the purpose of having laid before them a statement of the expense which this country incur red by the detention of Napoleon Bonaparte, he begged leave to say that he would abstain altogether from discussing the policy of that detention. But he was sure of this, that Great Britain should not be burthened with the exclusive charge of maintaining that individual. He held in his hand a statement of the expenses annually incurred by the detention of Bonaparte, which, he 'believed, would be found to be pretty correct. The estimate referred to the year 1819, since which, he understood, no reduction had taken place. lie would state the items. The charge of maintaining the Staff alone amounted to £21,000; the Military Establishment, consisting of the pay, ex penses, and army estraordinaries, £193,674 ; the es tablishment of Bonaparte, and the other establish ments in the island, created on account of his detention, £57,000; there was an expense for transports that carried provisions to the island, amounting to between £3,000 and £5,000; exclusively of which, there was the expense of the navy, amounting to £160,000, making a total of about 1:150,000 a-year. It be• came incumbent on him to seek for an official state ment of the expenditure thus incurred, because there had been as yet no account of the kind produced, and partiCularly because he understood a negocia tion was going forward between the Government and the East India Company, that the latter shall undertake all the details of the expenditure of this island, and receive an annual sum equal to the ave rage amount of the expenses of maintaining the island for the last four or five years. He then moved for Copies of the Correspondence that took place be tween Government and the East India Company with iespect to this negociation, and also Returns sheaving the expenses of each branch of the Esta blishment connected with the detention of Bona parte. The Honourable Member said, that it was his intention to move for a Return of the number and rates of all ships stationed at the Cape of Good Hope,, for he would shew that these ships • were kept there on account of the detention of Bonaparte. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no objection• to the motion, but he wished to state, that there would be some unavoidable delay in the • preparation of the Returns.—Motion agreed to. Mr. HUME said, he did not know that it would be necessary for him to subjoin the other motion which he had intended to submit, if the one just agreed to was sufficiently understood. However, lest there might be any misapprehension of the terms of that motion, he would move for a Return of all Expenses paid in England on account of the deten tion of Bonaparte. Fifty-two Gallons Brandy, and R 9 Gallons of Geneva, Which will ba put up at the Duties. . . Also, the Sloop PIiEASA NT, with her Almerials, burthen 11 51-94 tons; the ACTIVE, and Alaterials, burthen 1724-94 tons; Seven Open Boats and Materials; the 5!3V.., &c. of de stroyed four-gallon Casks; a small quantity o: Unserviceable Stores; a condemned Boat, and Three Piiyee4 of Hope.

General GASCOYNE presented a Petition from a number of Merchants in Liverpool, against any al teration in the mode of taking the Averages. Mr. BIRCH supported the Petition, and contended that the Bill now before the House, which admitted the Irish prices to be included in the Averages, was a violation of the pledge given to the Agriculturists in the year 1815. Mr. CUItWEN stated, that gross frauds had been committed in the taking of the Averages, and that those frauds were the cause of the ports having been opened in August last—a circumstance that contri buted materially to the injury of the Agricultural Interests. He would give his utmost support to the Bill, the object of which was to correct such fraud s . Mr. SYKES was hostile to any change in the mode of taking the Averages. Mr. WESTERN contended, that it was necessary to take some means of preventing the frauds which were committed in taking the Averages. Mr. CALCRAff reminded the Haus', that one of the Resolutions upon which the Bill of 1815 was founded, was, that the Averages slibuld continue to be taken as they were before. It was a departure from that Resolution to include the Irish corn in the Averages. He would oppose the second reading of the Bill now before the House, unless it was slrictly confined to the prevention of such frauds as his Hon. Friend had.alluded to. Mr. BRIGHT said, that no frauds had been sub stantially proved; and contended that the nets hill went entirely to alter the principle of the bill of 1815, and therefore he would oppose it. The Petition was then read ; and after a few words from General GASCOYNE, Mr.Wesrnrts, Mr. Lititilyr, BIRCII, and Mr. BENNLTI, Sir It. WILSON said he could not suffer this, the • first opportunity he had had, of declaring his of.?. nion of Bonaparte and his detention, to pass, withcut protesting against it—(LauViler).—Gentlemen might laugh, but he was certain he spoke the sentiments of every just and generous individual in Europe—(Loud - laughler).—He would repeat it, it was ungenerous to keep a man thus shut up and separated from his wife and Child ; a man, too, who might have escaped to America, hut had preferred to surrender to thii country, who had been guilty of a breach of faith in thus treating him ; and he was convinced if France • ever became a free Government, she would never submit to have the Sovereign she had adopted thus treated. He knew of his own knowledge that Bonaparte might have got on board a vessel and escaped to America, as that vessel arrived safely at her destined port. Mr.CII.OKEII defended Government for the count they had adopted against Bonaparte. He repelled with scorn the charge of breach of faith thrown out by the gallant General against the Public of this country. Bonaparte had not surrendered to us freely, but bad been hunted most unwillingly into the toils. It was true the ve s sel in which he proposed to go to. America arrived there safe; but it only did so be cause our cruizers did not consider` it as containing anything making it worth while to stop her; and it was not until Bonaparte had ascertained that he could not escape our cruizers that he resigned himself, and his surrender was then received by our Commander, subject to the determination of our Government as to„, his future destiny Mr. IIUME said, there Was a degree of rigotti.:l adopted towards Bonaparte by those who had. lms immediate custody, which met his (Mr. Hume's) tided disapprobation, however the rigorous policy o f keeping him there might be imperative on the 4 ` verument under existing circumstances--(//ear),,..., The Hon. Member then moved for ,a Trtstru: tit
