Such (con tinued Col. Stanhope) was ol.e language of sit Eu ropean Guvernor-Gerieral addressed to one 'misfired millions of his swarthy fellow-salijects ; larolusge so great, ►o noble, that hr was uncertain if any parallel, could be found for it in the history of the world. The restrictions which still continued were of a diameter to parslise liberty, but they had never been acted on, arid wetr iu fact a dead letter during Lord Hastings' admini•tntiou; but such of them as were 111C0 ttttt tent with the habits, manners, std customs of the people of that country ought to be rescinded, lest future Governors should again ex ercise that bud power. Genilanieu were little figure what it was to live under a censorship ► not only such political di►yaisitsons r shove in The Urriete or Cubbett would be excluded, but even many of the articles which appealed in the ministerial prints would nut be suffered under a censorship. He stated severs! instances of license ou the part of the press, which the Marquis of Hastings had refused to deal with in any other than the legal manlier, particularly oil attack which had been made on the Chief Justice of Calcutta (undoubtedly on honourable man), charg ing him with hosing behaved with partiality in a case where Mr. Croft (Iris sou-in-law) was a party. The Chief Justice complained of it to the Marquis of Hastings, who referred him back to his own laws for retires., a procedure worthy of a British Statesman. A calumnious attack on the Marquis of Hastings himself was also published, but that was under the authority of the Censo► himself, and though this attack airsick particularly at the cha racter of the Noble Marquis, he moved not. By the medium of the press the efforts of Ram Owen Roy (a wise and enlightened Brsmisi) were directed to abolish the cruel superstitions of polytheism, and establish the syrtein of pure theism, which many learned men contended was the original religion of that country, and if ever the Hindoos were to be converted to a purer system, it must be by such means: all other attempts at conversion must fail. If any progress were made otherwise, all that would be done would be to make of • few bid Hindoos worse Christians. He acquitted the Governor of Madras of any knowledge of the base attack made on the Marquis of Hustings; but from that instance might be seen how dangerous was the power of the censorship, which could be employed in putting the seal of official authority on unfounded calumnies. The first act of authority of Governor Elphi•- stone had been to abolish the base censor ship, He traced the institution of the censorship Irvin the Inquisition, and observed that the remark of Voltaire was well founded; he compared it to a grand lama of Tottery. "et it se croie ter:jeers (weir seisms;" and truly the censor ought to have some cleverness. us be claimed infallibility, and yet how pitiable would be the case if the works4f genius were revised, criticised, and curtailed, by a dunce ; yet such might be the case. It would be said that the liberty of the press was subject to abuse ; so also was every other right : it was said to be dangerous ; so also were equal laws, free trade, and a permanent settlement of the revenue: in short, every thing was dangerous to a despotic power, and nothing safe bat darkness, political sophistry. and censorships. It was not necessary for him to dilate on the advantages of ■ free press; the want of it had deprived this country of all knowledge of India, except what was derived from the Company's servant:, and the consequence was, that the go verning powers here were very ignorant of the state of British India. He concluded by reminding the Court, that the liberty of the press was first esta blished in this country, and hoped that. like the free states of Greece and Rome, we should not o n ly be firm and strong in the maintenance of our own liberties, but unlike those jealous monopolists of freedom, we should endeavour to extend it to other countries. Such was his anxious hope, and to give effect to it he would now move, " That all the'late proceedings of the Court of Directors relative to the press its India be laid before the Court of Pro prietors." He would add. that if an assurance were given that there was no intention of restoring the censorship, he should be willing not to press his motion. MR.

The COURT resembled at twelve o'clock, and after reading the minutes of the last Court, the alteration of the By-Laws, us agreed to the last General Court, was approved of by the pre•ent Court. The CHAIRMAN then moved that Sir James Home, Bart. late of the Madras Civil Establish ment. be permitted to return to the service under the provisions of the Act of 33 George 111. cap. 62, sec. 70, with the rank which he held when he quit ed Madras, agreeably to at the Act of a George 111. cap. 155, sec. 85, which, after a few observations from Mr. Chalmers, Mr. R. Jackson, Mr. Rigby, and Mr. Lownder, and after reading the letter of Sir J. Horne, Bart. to the Committee of Correspondence, it was agreed to, mid 'Tuesday se'imight unwed as the day fur confirming the same. Mr. R. JACKSON made sonic observations on the Act of Perhainent lately passed for regulating the Company's trade, and wished to know whether he understood that clause rightly which seemed to allow to every ►ubject of this country the privilege of trading from the East Indies to ports of the continent without touching at the parent state at all ? The CHAIRMAN said, that when the Charter Act was passed, several mutters were reserved by the Legislature with respect to the trade to modify if the Parliament thought fit. He believed that an terior to this Act, ships might go from port to port iu Mr. R. JACKSON said, his question applied to the trade between India and the continent of Eu rope carried on by British subjects. A Director stated. that ships might load from any port in Europe and carry their cargoes to India, which was a stronger case than the Hon. Proprietor had pot. Mr. R. JACKSON said, that it struck him, speak ing as an Eogl•ehman, that it was as dangerous a proposition a. ever was broached by enthusiasm, • that ships could be allowed freight with the shewy fabrics of France, or the stronger manufactures of Germany. which paying less taxes by 75 per cent. than ours, must be fatal not only to London, as the emporium of the commerce of the East, but also work the greatest injury to the whole commerce of the country. The CHAtRMAi said the Directors had intimated objections whilst the measure was passing ; but his Majesty's Ministers being pressed by the shipping and mercantile interest generally, to be allowed to do that which was allowed to the trade of foreigners, the representations which they had made were of no avail. Mr. GAHACIAN thought the Directors should have communicated with, the Proprietors when so important a measure was passing. The CHAIRMAN read the minutes of a former Court. to shew that the subject was brought before the Proprietors; but observed that, according to the reservations made when the Charter Act passed. the Government could have made the alterations whether the Company were willing or unwilling. The Hoe. D. KINNAIRD objected to the discus_- am of topics of political economy introduced in the incidental manner they were on this occasion. itherwise he was so opposed to the principles pro pounded by the Hon. Proprietor (11r. R. Jackson), that he should have gone into it with alacrity; but be professed himself utterly at a loss to see how the Bill affected them, us ludian Proprietors. in auy way except beneficially, though as an Englishman be could not but feel glad that the absurd restric tions which had encumbered the commerce of India were by the good sense of Parliament abolished, he hoped, for ever. Mr. LovreDes thought the Bill was one of the •tmost unpoutance, and the time of the Court was well occupied in looking at it a little closely. The Hon. Proprietor was proceeding with his observa tions when The CHAIRMAN rose and said. that information of the greatest importance to the Proprietors and the country had been received that morning. In telligence had been received that Bonaparte was dead. The Chairman shortly after read the dis patch of S:r Hudson Lowe, which stated that the event took place on the sth May last, in consequence of a disorder with which Bonaparte had been afflicted siuch March last. Mr. LOWNDES resumed, and said, that by this event he hoped he might congratulate them on the probability that the expenses at the island of St. Helena would now be diminished. THE INDIAN PRESS. The Hon. Colonel STAN Hopi rose to make his promised motion on the subject of the press in In dia. He entered into the history of the press in India, and contended that the art of printing was known in that country more than 4,000 years ago, and that it had only been revived by ourselves there at a recent period. He stated, a censorship on the press had been established there during the time that the Marquis Wellesley was Governor General, bat that had been subsequently removed by the Marquis of Hastings. The lion. Proprietor here read extracts from the Marquis of Hastings' answer The Hon. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD seconded the motion, without meaning to pledge himself to any thing bat agreeing with the sentiments which had bren expressed of the conduct of the Marquis of Hastings. He was desirous that the Court of Pro prietors should pledge itself to the support- of that system which, in his opinion, did the Marquis- of Hastings more honour than any other of his mill tory transactions, and he hoped soon to have to sup port a motion of thanks from the , Chair for his civil conduct. Mr. Cnausess contended, that, from what had recently passed in the Courts of Law in India, it was uncertain whether any jurisdiction existed there to try fo► libels criminally, and the delay. which might be interposed in civil actions rendered that remedy nearly nugatory. Under these cit.- cumstinces, sod not seeing the necessity for the motion, he begged leave to move the previous question.
