EAST INDIA HOUSE. The adjourned debate upon the renewal of the East India Compri% . 2. Cha ter was renewed on Tuesday morning, at 11 o'clock. Mr. K.

Mr. TPOWER expressed his firm conviction that the Parliament of Great Britain, renowned for its wisdom and honour, would not consent to place in the hands of the present administration, such enormous in fluence as they would acquire by the destruction of the Chatter, and de sole Government of India. Mr. Bos NQUE•r lamented that Ministers had conducted the negocia tion in so unbecoming a spirit, arguing the dir:ct contrary of what every man possessing the slightest knowledge was convinced must be the fact. Mr. GRANT (one of the Directors) read extracts from the different Petitions that had been laid before the [Luse of Con on ns, from which it appeared, that the Petitioners thought our exports for India might be considerably increased. This he denied, and proceeded to chew that in to years no new commodity had been introduced into India w itl, the exception of cochineal which was not a production of this Country. He then controverted most of the statements made by Mr. Hume, con tended that gentleman had taken a very partial view of the subject, and asserted conclusions opposite to those which lie bad drawn were to he deduced from the facts.

Mr. WEvnai no E informed the Chairman that he had compressed his other Resulations into one, which having been moved anti seconded, Mr. Hest E. suggested the propriety of having a Resolution so volu minous as that which was submitted to them printed, that the Pro.prie tors might consider it, least they might assent to any talse proposition.

Istp::y remarked that the Company should call on their natural allicA, on those classes of whose goods they ensured a regular demand, to come forward in their favour, and expressed a hope, that as the cxalt ed personage, whose affliction was now so much lan:-nted, had, in 1783, with a truly constitutional view of the subject, considered the encroach ments then meditated on the Compnv, as encroachmeints on his own authority, the illustrious person who executed the same high function , . would look on the patron:sae of India as an instrument not less danger ous in the hands of Lord Liverpool than in those of Mr. Fox. The Second Reso!ation was then put and carried wiltrut anv dizsentient vote than that of Mr. Hume and the Court Adjourned. Priday, a Court of Directors was held at the East India - house, when General the Earl of MOI 71 A was iutroduced, and toiik the usual oaths on being appointed to the high (~bees of Governor-Genc, ral and Commander in Chief in India.

Amongst other eccentric novelties that appeared in tl►c Park on Sunday last, was a Russian sledge, drawn by a ches nut galloway. This-vehicle, from its great rarity, attracted much notice.
