Pr The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that all the Honourable Baronet's observations respecting the increase of seamen were made with ' great propriety. The House, however, would con sider the extent to which it would vote. With re spect to the Army Estimates, as Monday and Friday were occupied with notices, he wished them to be brought forward•int Wednesday. Mr. HUSKIS§9II3aid, th at he could not be fully prepared with arguments unless he obtained the Pa pers. He did not wish, however, to impede the pro gress of public business. Mr. WILBERFORCE expressed his surprise that there were no Estimates respecting the Docks at Northfleet.—The question was then put, and the mo tion was agreed to. Mr. CREEVEY rose, pursuant to notice, to move *for certain Documents with regard to the late is 614- li( n among the military at Madras ; and also with re ward to some transactions which took place last year in the Court: at Madras, with which the Madras Go vernment was clinely connected.—The Honourable 'Member proceeded to comment upon the deplorable consequences likely to result from the native troops being witnesses to the mutiny and rebellion on the part of the British Officers. He confessed that little short of a miracle could have sustained our Empire in India. His chief motive in bringing the business lofOre the House was to ascertain, to the satisfaction of the country, who were right and who were wrong, in a contest of such serious moment. He would not prejudge the question, he would not pass any prema ture opinion on the conduct of Sir George Barlow, but he would say, that, be his conduct what it might, however oppressive or unjust, it could not justify re bellion on the part of the military. The Honourable Member then proceeded to detail the alledged ground' of ,complaint against the Government of India : first, with respect to the ,military insubordination ;' Ain relation to the. abuses said to have prevailed m the Judicial and Civil Department of Madras, He stated, that it had been affirmed, that the Special Jitry who bad decided upon the justice of the claims of the Nabob of the Camatic, had been malevolently persecuted, and: some of them punished, under the pretence of transferring . them to distant stations. A rOird ground of enquiry was the removal of Mr. Petrie, who had been forty.four years Resident at, Madras, and had been uniformly opposed to the Coun cils of Sir George Barlow. This was the more ntao cessary to inquire into, as he believed. the Court of Directors had divided equally upon that questioo.l He appealed to the House, if it was unreasonable to ask for information upon questions of such importance? He then concluded with moving, That there be laid upon the table of that House copies of all the Correopondenee, between the Commander in Chief and Go vernor in Council of Madras, Mathis to din arrest of Lieutenant- General Munro, VW the de finitive authority of the Commander in Chief in Cows Martial. ° Sir HENRY MONTGOMERY seconded the mo tion, and declared that there were practices common in the Courts of Law ; in India, which, if attempted here, would produce a revolution. Mr. DUNDAS objected to the voluminous matter referred to in the motion, and proposed to substitute in its place a motion for the correspondence between the Court of Directors, and the Commander in Chief and Council, together with their reseective enclosures. He said that the Government in India had only acted under peremptory orders sentoutfrom this country. He did not accuse the Officers of a deliberate intention rebel. He believed they had not originally foresee!l the calamitous consequences of their first step of ins t!bnr dination. He passed a high eulogium on Sir George gorlow, to shoe undaunted firmness he attributed the salvation of the British interests in India. He thought it better we should• be without an acre in India, than hold that territory .at the will of a been: tioua soldiery. He very much questioned the sound ness of that cause that could resort to squibs, pasqui nades, in . the newspapers, and paragraphs of such description to support it. With respect to the corres pondence, the copies of which he proposed to move far, he must except from that such private letters as had been intercepted in the course of the re tellion by the stoppage of the mails ; many o' them were:letters of a criminal nature ; but their publica tion Dow could only do individual harm without working any public good. He vindicated the per sisns who acted as Commissioners upon the Carnatic Claims ' • and said that in the case of Mr. Petrie, the Court had not decided.so much in exclusion of him who had all along opposed the councils of the Gover, nor, as in preference of others who had acted with him. Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON was anxious for the production of every information upon a sub.. ject of such importance. Sir JOHN ANSTRUTHER. from the experience of 8 years personal intimacy, bore testimony to the' firmness, justice, temper, and moderation of Sir G. parlow• Sir THOMAS TURTON did not deny Sir G. Barlow firmness, but thought thew might yet be a' question eihether that firmness hadTeenlaudably ex erted.. His Majesty's Ministers, for instance, ted great firmness ; but it was in obstinately resisting and insulting the wishes of the people. Mr. GRANT was astonished that Gentlemen could be hurried inter such unjustifiable vehemencei as to prejudge the case before the proper documents, upon which alone their opinions could be justly fun ded, were before them. He passed a warm etilooium upon the character and conduct of Sir G. Barlow. Mr. GRENFF.I.I. and Mr. ISDELL spoke in support of the propriety of bringing the question before 14May. ment. • Mr: PETER MOORE called the attention* of Gentlemen to this one fact, that Sir George Barlow i had, on taking upon him the Government of Mailras, found there one of the best-disciplined and most loyal armies of any in the Einpire. What had since fallen out was but tOO neterioul.

He then moved, that it is the opinion of this Committee that a sum not exceeding any others, 47000 a year be granted to his Majesty, out of the Consolidated Fund, to enable him to make.provision for the establishment of the Duke of Brunswick as long as the occupation of his territories by the tcrench troops, precluded him from returned to the possession of his dominions. Lord MILTON did not rise to oppose the motion, hut to question the propriety of drawing the sum de manded from the source alluded to. The enormous increase of taxes be believed to be the real cause of the present popular irritation, and it behoved Ministers to look out for supply from some other source than the burdens of the people, The Droits of Admiralty would be amply and well calculated to contribute to the exigencies of the personage in question. Mr. H. MARTIN was exactly of the same opi nion with the Noble Lord who spoke last ;—and though he did not mean to oppose the motion, he tleoulht the provision should be made from the Droits of Admiralty, and not from the pockets of the people. Captain PARKER expressed himself in favour of the motion. It would, he said, be a dreadful thing to see a Prince begging in the streets, and much more repugnant to the feelings of the people of this coun try, than the payment of the sum required. Mr. I. H. BROWN thought that in the present high commercial prosperity of this country, the House ought not to hesitate at granting the sum required by the motion. When it was considered how nearly allied the illustrious personage in question was to his Majesty, and that he had a large family to support as well as himself, he hoped there would be no objection to the motion, which had his hearty concurrence and sup- Port. Sir JOHN NEWPORT repeated, that there was no disposition to refuse that personage the provision proposed; but he thought it a matter of no little im portance to ascertain whether that provision might not be made without adding to the burthens of the Lpeople ; as to the claim of large family, so patheti cally put forth by the Hon. Gentleman, that plea, he suspected, would not turn out to be well founded, or if it did, it must shock the piety of that Hon. Gentle man to be told, that the Duke of Brunswick never had been married (a laugh), at least such was the rumour. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that the Hon. Baronet might have learned a sufficient lesson from the proceedings of last night, that would have restrained him from making a charge upon a mere rumour. The Duke of Brunswick had DO wife, because he had had the misfortune to have lost her, and was left with two children to heighten, and, at the same time, to console his misfortunes. . Sir JOHN NEWPORT di .claimed any intention Id throwing out an imputation agains: ti:e Noble 'Duke, but he would assure the Right Hon. Gentle man that no lesson of the kind alluded to, should de ter him from prosecuting any public malversation whatever. He could detest it—He admitted that in the case of last night a candid defence had been made our, and he was not ashamed of such admission. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEP stated, that the Droits of the Admiralty was a fund of that sort that could not support a permanent charge for an annual grant. After a few words more between Mr. H. MARTIN, Sir THOM‘s TvRTON, and Mr. CROKER, the Rcsolti- Lion Was agroad to nem. con. The House then re sumed, and die Report was ordered to be received on Monday. VIENNA, MARCH it. By the Trieste Mail, which arrived to -day, intelli. gence has been received that on the frontiers of Dal matia and Bosnia disturbances have taken place, in consequence of which much blood has been spilt ; it' is however hoped that they soon will be quelled. From Orsowa, Estafettes have been received, with intelligence that the Russians have made themselves masters of the Isle of Ostrava, in the Danube, and thrown bridges from thence to both banks of the River ; they have also formed a junction with the Servians, near Palama. All communications with Turkey is therefore again intercepted. .CONSI'ANTINQI ;1( 20. considerable changes have lately taken place in our navy. The Captain Pacha and eeveralOfficers have been dismissed : the former is succeeded in the command of the fleet, by Jaillet Pacha, Lieutenant of the Grand Vizier ; the third day after his appoint ment the new Admiral went to Bujalcdure to inspect the division which is to guard the mouth of the Bos phorus. According to the last accounts from Ruzekiuk, it would seem that the Russians mean to retreat them_ selves, to fortify their position on the right bank of the Danube. We understand that more than forty eight ships, with flour, have arrived off the Darda. nelles, bound to the capital. S V2PLY. In a Committee of Supply, the following sums were voted : £3396 th. to Edward Swam, for his services as Counsel to the Committees in the House of Lords, in the last Session of Par liament. £5OOO for Fees in passing the Public Accounts. £3lOO for defraying the expences of the Civil Establishment of the island of Sr. John, in America, now Prince Edward's Isl And. £l5OO for Repairing Henry the Seventh's Chapel.
