Colonel STA:snore rose for the purpose of agitating the cause of a hundred millions of his fellow subjects in India—of agitating the question of a free press in India. •He regretted that no person of more ability than himself had brought forward the subject. It at. firmed not only the inhabitants of our Indies dominions, hut the surrounding nations, and millions of human beings yet unborn. He must here, before be went farther, protest against all prejudices, Indian or Ear lish, as aberrations from right reason, particularly • prejudice which would doom the people of Asia, of Africa, half mankind to perpetual servitude. Never would he believe that slavery was a divine ordination, until he saw men born with hunches on their backs like camels, and others with combs on their heads like cocks, indicating that some were to work and toil like beasts, while others were to strut and crow over their fellow creatures.

They bad nearly (him* him from his government, and yet the pre*• under him enjoyed a freedom of discussion. Lord C.irnwallis required no censorship to guard the state from the consegnnces of discussion ; anti under the mild gor'•rnment of Sir John Shore it en joyed ample freedom. He held in his hand a num tier of the Multi,. 3firrmr, dated 1 lth June, 1794. which contained animadversions on the Directors, on the B. tavian tiovernment, on Commodore Mitchel, and on Sjor J. Alw•reromhr. It w•as about four years after tbi7 that he censorship wa , slily introduced under Lord Wellt‘- ley's aihninistrAtion, and the press subjected to restr:. - lions which would not be permitted in any of our little West India settlements, though they were almost job's bited by slaves. But Lord Hastings abolished this b.e•e censorship, thongli the restrictions still continued. Al though opposed to 3lr. Canning's political opinion•, he (Colonel Stanhope) could not hut give him credit for the part he took in that measure.—[Colonel Stanhope then read an address from the inhabitants of Madras *co Lord Hastings in ISI9, with his Lordship's answer.)— These words were so useful and so noble that no parallel for theta wns to be found in history. The restrictions imposed on the press were of a character to paralize liberty, hut were not acted upon. Yet such of them as were not consistent with the habits of the country ,hould be repealed, lost future Oovernors, actuated by had motives, should enforce them. Under the censor- ship not a word contained in The Edinburgh Reciter, cohtell's Register, The Examiner, The Times, The .4lornin( Chronicle, nay, of half what is published in 'hr WowedAl papers would he allowed. The Hoo. Proprietor pronounced a very high eulogium upon tie rharAeter anal government of Lord Hastings ; and, after maising some further observations on the state of the press in India, he concluded by moving that all the proree.lings of the Directors, relative to the liberty of she pr... 4 in India, be laid before the Court of Proprie oor.. If, lion ever, he received an assurance that there A.,. nu intention of reviving the censorship, he wou'd no: press his motion. Mr. DOUGLASKINSIAIRD, for form sake, seconded the motion. He was not mar.• that there were any : •roreedings of the nature moved for to be laid before the eon t ; hut coinciding, as he did, in the principles expressed by the Hun. Mover, as in the high character tie h d giv .n Lord Hastings, he was anxious that the tamer should have an opportunity of upholding that measure by which his Lordship had immortalized him self more than by his military actions, or than any other man who had been placed in his situation.- 1 ilk was one of the many grounds upon which his I,,,rdslaip was most particularly entitled to the thanks of the coon. Mr. CHALMERS moved the previous question. He was proceeding to reply to the observations of pre ceding speakers, when The CeatawAst said be thought he could shorten the discussion : for he could assure the Hon. Mover, that so far as he knew, there was no intention at pre sent to restore the censorship. The Hon. Proprietor, perhaps, would therefore, as he had suggested, withdraw his nvotion. l'.d. STANHOPE.I do, Sir, with pleasure. Mr. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD agreed in withdrawing the motion. Mr. Lows DES said he would congratulate the court, if Hoitapvrte, like Romulus, had been carried to H eaven . lie owed that individual no ill will, but he was glad the country waa relieved from the expense of the St. Helena establishment. He then proceeded to iletuel the administration of Lord Wellesley, when be was with touch difficulty railed to order, there being no motion before the court. C. tiaa•:r said he should not be out of order, the assent of the co u rt being necessary to the withdrawal of the motion, and not yet given if he said a few v orris ; tout it might go abroad t h a t the Ilt , n. .!ember's statement of facts, which were not toile accurrte, were unanswered. As to the free d an of the press, Lord Hastings had withdrawn the examination of periodical pliers by a censor, but the pre% ions res•rictions still r em ained. It w ou ld h ave been finite inconsistent with the prudence and vigour of that nobleman's administration to throw open the press of India at this moment. He was glad the motion was withdrawn. Mr. Jacgsos was ansions that what the chairman bad said upon this occasion should not be misunder stood, lie bad merely said, " I know of no contem plation at present to undo what Lord Hastings had done." Of that act he (Mr. Jackson) most cordially approved ; for though the ntlinin was removed, the security remained.

A Oeseral Court of East India Proprietors was yes terday held at the Company's house in Leadenhall street. After some previous discussion, Mr. JACKSON rose, and sail, that notwithstanding the great authority of the Act of Parliament which he held in his hand derived from the name of a highly gifted nobleman, the Marquess of Lansdowne, he could not but complain of the great license it afforded in re spect is trading in India. Some of the greatest poli ticians bad been most mistaken in their views of India affairs. He wished to ask whether by that Act, all the King's subjects might not only go from port to port iii India, and carry away the produce to any part of Eu rope but also, whether they might not carry back the private of foreign countries to any place in Indian, and there dispose of it without coming to the parent TIM CHAIRmAx said they might go from port to port is lodic A-. Mr. Jack vox raid that was not his question, which he thertepeated. Mr. Sergeant BOaANQUIT was referred to by the Chairman, wbo made a single observation, which we understood to be an answer in the alfirn►ative. Mr. Jackson thought this was .a most dangerous propaaition, that vessels loading with the showy fabrics of France, or the cheag fabsics of Ilermany, should be allowed to give the go by to ,the parent country. Ilow dangerous would it be to allow such a doctrine to be applied to the West Indies: be knew he was speaking a day ttso Late ; but as the hill nas laid before the Court fur their approbation, he cot:11 not help observ ing upon the great tlanger fruin assenting to this principle. The CastnntsN said, Cot the Uirertors bad inter (erred to prevent the measure ; but it h.oving been re presentea to Ministers on the part of the %hipping in- terest, that it was an extremely hard cac.. that Engiish shipping should be denied that privileze which was afforded to American and other foreign vessel., their interference w..s not successful. Mr. cm; ea;sm thought the Directors might have acquainted the Proprietors with the intentions of Mi nisters spun this stihjeet. Some suggestions might have been wade Ity this Vonse, which would have ena bled Parliament to avoid the defects which nets• appear in the Bill. lie hoped, therefore, that if another act should be Proposed to amend or repeal the present, the Court of Directors would coadescend to inform the Pro prietors of it. The CHAIRMAN said, that if the Honourable Pro prietoa had attended the last Court, he would have found that the notice of the want of which he com plained had been given. Mt. OZOGIIECAN was aware that a notice had been given that an act relating to this Pubjert was in con templation but no nut:ce had been given of the par ticulars of the measure. Mr. I). KlN%Alatr said, that as :In roiclioliman, he was happy Vast P.M had p is•e.i.

Pioprietor, aster speaking some time, wa' interrupted by Tine tits PIM V, who said he thonzht it right 1,. c tttttt manse:tie to the l'oort the intelligence he bad tha . nionivnt receir , d—that Bonaparte was dead. In a few ininutes atterwards he added, that he had made the former communication to the Court in c•insequeuce of a private letter which he had received ; but that he had since received a letter front Sir !Nilson Low offi cially announcing this event. The letter, which was then read by the clerk, stated, for the information of the Board of Directors, that °fliers! Bonaparte had expired at ten minutes before six o'clock on the morn ing of the :itli of May, in conseirtence of an indisposi. thin which had confined him to his apartment since the 17th of March last. Mr. LOWNDER.—Then, Mr. Chairman, I congratu late you upon the intelligettee.—(Loud and universal expressions of disapprobation.) Mr. Dcv GLAS KINNAIRD said (as we understood him) that it was indecent, and unworthy of all English man, to make the natural extinction 01 a man, olio had been long politically dead, matter of congratula tion.—(n leer.) Mr. Pt 111::os said that the circumstance had bee:i coiutunnicated to the Court as a waiter of fact, and nut of discussion. Mr. L'►wxn¢s merely congratulated the c.,sitery upon bein g • relieved from the expense of the St. Helena establishment. lie then resumed his speech upon the India Trade Bill, of which we did not hear a word, in consegnencf. of the murmuring conversation excited by the news of lionaparte's death. The CHAIRMAN again said, that the Directors had done what they could, bat found it impossible to pre vent the measure from being carried. Mr. HOWORT• hoped that the Proprietors would re ceive notice of such intended measures in flame. Mr. JACKSON replied at so ee length to the observa tions of Mr. D. Kinnaird. The Hon. Propriet,r had staled he was sorry, as an Englishman, that it was not confined to an English channel. That was, in effect, all he (Mr. Jackson) bad said. This Bill ba►l the effect of abridging Bri•ish commerce at a moment, when, of all others, it unght to be extended.
