Hon. Gentleman's statement of mortality in the convict Pllllll at MI : The Fame transport, with 200 convicts...only two died. The Beasley, 200 convicts tome died. and all arrived in excellent health. The Lord Melville, 102 convicts three died. and the convicts un their iirrival gave • public ac knowledgment of the humane and excellent treat ment day had received on the voyage. ..._ _ The ghipley, 125 convict'. none died.

The Baring, 3410 convicts owe died. Ile called on the House to recollect that it was of tio, ship, when preparing for her p►esrut voyage, tint the Hon. Member last night spoke. She was ,iipea commanded by the same Officers and Surgeon :t4 on her former voyage, and he believed there neter were men of kinder or more humane dispo sitions, or to whom the unhappy men themselves ex pressed greater obligations too the last voyage. The Sur t :eon, who was Dr. Reid, had been continued in the ship at the recommendation of Sir R. Keats, in consequence of his acknowledged skill and hu manity. nine were facts, and he trusted they fur nished a satisfactory answer to the Hon. Gentle man's statements, who seemed to have taken his information from the convicts, without referring to supy of the officers for • corroboration of what he hail heard.—(Loud cries of Hear.) Mr. BENNETT said, that after what hail fallen from the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, he hoped he would receive the indulgence of the House while he clearly and distinctly stated the authority on which he had given h►s statement last eight.—(Hear, hear.)—He lately went down to visit the two transports then about to sail with convicts. lit one of them, he un derstood, there were 300 men, in the other 440. He went on hoard one of them, in consequence of a communication fron► Dr. O'Halloran. The place which he saw the Doctor was 1d fret square, and 11 persons, 1w was told, were stowed lit it. Ile saw three persons lying in one of the cribs which he hail described, end they told him that three othera were also crammed into the same sleeping-place.— Three men, who stood by, avowed that they were the persons wl►o slept in this contracted space. —lle was glad, indeed, to find that this in formation was not correct, but he wits told he should have gone to the Ca, tain for 'donna tiou; he meant to have had the statement of the Captain. in the presence of the convicts—but the hustle of getting water on deck and preparing tOr sea, prevented his having the meatus of procuring information from that source. Ile hail complained to the Captain of the offensive and mix' s state of the lower part of the vessel in which such a number of poor wretches were confined, and the Ceptain in formed him, when he expressed his horror at the scene, that as soon as he got to sea, he would have the means of demising that part of the ship from the disgusting filth which covered it. The Captain implored him not to leave the ship under :he im pression that the convicts alone were crowded to excess, for, he said....“ Go into my cabin, Sir, and see how we are crowded—go to where the passengers are placed, and see how they fare— go among the sailors and soldiers, and see ►f they are not as had as the rest."—This skewed the crowded state or the vessel, and the consequent sufferings which poor wretches must endure, and they too unused to a sea life, when they encounter the privations of the voyage. ll'hat he had said last •sight, respecting the n►ortahty on board the ship Surrey, ill 1809, remained usicontradicted. She had lost 50 (one-fourth of her number) in crossing the Line. It was said that these unfortu. •sate men had the same space allotted to them as the soldiers and the sailors; hot was not there this difference in the situation of these parties— the soldiers and sailors could go up at night on deck to avoid the inconvenience below, in warm latitudes ? The wretched convict could claim no such indulgence, but must remain in the crowd ' below, exposed to all the sufferings of such a aitna tion. He was not surprised to hear that men in such a situation, rushed in despair upon death, in the attempt to extricate themselves by any act of mutiny, front so cruel a bondage. lie had been himself, when in the army, on board a transport in a warm latitude, and he could feel what must be the situation of twirl., who had no alternative but to remain lucked ua below, inhaling the effluvia of such a situation. 'For his own part, he had only to say, that in this, or any other transaction of a similar kind, ►n which lie took a part. heaven knew he had no other object upon earth, in publicly mentioning the circuu►- stance, than au earm •t desire to export and prevent the infliction of unnecessary cruelty. He never had, or could have, but nue object, and that was to attempt, so far as in the short life of man could be attempted, to diminish the 'mu of human misery. —( Loud cries of " Hear, hear," from all parts of the house.) Sir B. MA RT I N ruse on explanation to state, that the couvicts, for the sake of having a space to breathe the fresh air at night, had half a ton of room more than the soldiers had allowed them ; and th•ee was place in which they could go wit for the purposes of relreshn►eut. lie then read a letter from a con vi •t, in which lie earnestly returned thanks to the Captaiti for the indulgences ►hewn to the unfortu nate ►urn.

The CliAxcEl-7,0x of the EICHEQU:;II ssitly as there was no qumition before the House, be would m ove that thf p do now adjourn. Sir ISAtC COFFIN said, that he lied night, from the stab-went of the lion. hlertilier, pronounced the treatment of these convicts as being most scan dalous. Ile had gone to the Navy Board t h is• morning ID make inquiries into the truth or this 6141,-olei.t, and the result of his inquiries was, tlt•.et the Nun. Member had been imposed upon. In candour, therefore, he felt himself bound tu. with draw the expressions he lord used last Hight, and to express his belief, from the information he bud since received, that the convicts were as well treated as wus consistent with the situation of such persons. FEES ON LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO NAVAL OFFICERS. General FERGUSoN begged leave to BA an Hon. Admiral opposite, whether it was customary to nn pose fees upon the letters of leave of absence to Naval Officers, and in what manner the amount of such fees (if taken) was applied ? There was no such demand made in the army. Sir JOHN HOPE said, that these fees were cer tainly taken according to long-estahlished custom, in consequence of the a .litional trouble imposed by the applications, and the necessity of knowing the exact residence of the Naval Officer, who was at all times liable to be called upon for his services. The amount was accounted for every year iu the Admiralty contingencies. Sir GEoaux ‘VARIIENDER said, that the fees arising out of the sums so received were formerly applied in the Secretary's Office—now they were appropriated to the stamp contingencies. The pro duce last year, winch was the highest sum received, only amounted to boot. General FERGUSON said, that the answer respect ing the appropriation of the fees was satisfactory enough—but not so the imposition of them, which by no wails met his approbation. The House then adjourned. DU! ell AGGRESIONS IN INDIA. As the following document, and the circum stances winch led to the cession therein made, will shortly come under the consideration of Parlia ment, it will not be uninteresting to the Public; and doubtless it will he the opinion of the House, as it was that of Sir T. S. RAFFLES, that whatever shakes the title of ADIPATTI (Sultan RATOO AL MED NUJUMUDDIN) to the sovereignty of Palem bang, equally affects the claims of the Dutch to the island of Banca. If they have or do not re store ADIPATTI, the British Government must repossess themselves of Banca, or suffer their cha racter to be tarnished throughout the Eastern Archipelago. One of the subscribing witnesses is Major MEASLES, who acted so conspicuous a part in the of of Palembang, and who in a few months afterwards fell at the head of his men, when gallantly leading them to attack those of the exiled Sultan.

Last evening the Bill for ensuring the care of his MAJLITT'S person was reed a second time in the House of Lords, and will he submitted this day to a Committee of the whole House. In the cour►e of sonic conversation that arose between the Earl of I.lv LIIPOUL and Lord Hot.t.Atro, respecting the mode of procedure, it was stated by the Noble Earl that it was the intention of the PRINCE REGENT'S Government to propose in the House of Commons a reduction of the 11111411 m Establish ment. A motion to this effect was to have been la,t evening, in the House of Commons, by Lord CASTLEREAGH, but the Noble Lord was pre velited (ruin attending in his place by indisposition. The Report of the Coinnoi,sionerd appointed to *wpm e $1 the he►t meant. of preventing the frau dulent imitation of Bink notes, recently presented by command of the Pounce RIOENT to both Douses of Parliament, has been printed. A cor rect copy of it will be found in another pert of our Paper. It presents, in a very striking muffler, a view of the extreme difficulty that offers itself to the attainment of the great object of the inquiry; and will, no doubt, relieve the Rank Directors from much of the obloquy that has hitherto been attached to them, in consequence of their reputed neglect of this matter. It appears that no less than our hundred and eight projects of new notes have been froth time td time submitted to the coosidera tion of the Directors. Their capability towards ensuring a safe paper currency may he estimated from the statement of the Commissioners, who, after a careful, mid no doubt a scientific examina tion, illustrated by a variety of experiments, say, that, " From a large portion of them it was ob vious that no beneficial remit could be expected, Of the whole number, we find about twelve of su perior skill and ingenuity, but anticipated by others of higher merit; or merely ingenious, but inap plicable in practice; and we consider nine others to be either of such originality or ingenious combina tion of existing means, as to have required our more particular attention." The hopes of filial success excited by this statement is happily net discouraged in a subsequent part of the Report ; for, alluding to one plan in particular, the Com missioners express a confident expectation that the result will combine the principal desiderata of their inquiry, namely, " great ingenuity in the fabric of the paper, great excellence in the work manship, and of very peculiar invention, and the necessity of difficult machinery in the art of print ing." By the union of these requisites, the opera tion of forging must employ more hands, a greater variety of ingenuity and talent, and a larger capital, than are probably now engaged in it, or can be en gaged in it, without leading to a discovery. The Commissioners remark, that in many instances of forgery, the public have permitted themselves to be deceived by very miserable imitations of the Bank notes, and notice as a probable consequence of the adoption of some plan of note less liable to be imitated than that now in use, that the people, rely ing on it with too much confidence, would encou rage the forgers to persist in their schemes. The caution is not improperly given, for however suc cessful the exertions of the Commissioners may be in producing a plan requiring great ingenuity and labour to imitate, and at the same time sufficiently simple to be suited to the immense issues of the Bank of England, it is impossible to hope that attempts, mud those probably not contemptible, will lint be made to give currency to fraudulent imitations of the Bank notes. This, however, should operate as an additional stimulus to the ex ertions of those who are appointed to meet, and, if possible, circumvent the ingenuity and menus of the forgers. Dutch ■nd Hamburgli Mails have arrived.— Accounts from Brussels state, that the King of FRANCE has, at the suggestion of his Minister for Foreign Affairs, extended his clemency to many more of those persons who had been exiled by the Ordinance of the Roth of July, and has permitted them to return to their country.

An article from the Main says -4‘ Count LAS CASES has just published a Pio jet de Petition au Parlemewt d'Angleterre, the ob ject of which is to persuade the English nation to grant to NAPOLEON a free residence, either in Great Britain or North America."—The Count might save himself the trouble of transmitting hi.
