THE CONGRASX OP THR UNITED STATES. 'r'am the Atone Airverrisee, Dec. 11.1 Ent Mond.'} last, the tiny designated .by the Cestatitet iota foe the* soutsal meeting o f Congress, the two Houses assemblisl at the Ca. pitol. In thc :senate. the Viee.President of the United States took. the Ch sir At twelve o'clock, nod called the House to onler. Thirty.' nine mentliers were present, live of whom were new members. In the House of Reuesentatives, a hundred anti ninety-three members answered when celled. They proceed's( to Mahn for Speaker, and on the second ballot made choice of Mr. Taylor. Mr. Taylor is known by experience to be a good pr e ywm g o th eee , thoroughly conversant with Parliamentary usages and precedents, prompt in his decibiozir, and expert in the despatch of baldness. Ilia e...ttion being a:too:tined. he was conducted to the chair by 311 r. Nuatoo, and he hustle the following address : o. G ent l eme n—When I see around me so many Representatives ribose .virtuee and !Jetta toltwo our enemy? ; whose services, et home and abroad, in the cabinet and in the hell, in halls of legis. Imior. am! judicial tribunal., have largely contributed to our national prosperity. I am prnetratol with gratitude for the favourable opl. mon w hi c h has recalled me to this distinguished station. Illy brief experience has served rather to assure me that its duties are ardu. our, than to create umlidenee in my ability to discharge them to your satisfaction. Every saint. isowever, K which I ant capable, shall he faithfully directed to merit your support. " In the complex questions frequently presented to the Chair for prompt decision, warring accuracy la scarcely attainable. When mirtakes occur. toy test endeavours shall not be wanting to correct them, and to repair whatever injury they may have occa. shined.. . . " With an anxious desire that your countenance and advice will noe be withheld, and that the just expectations of your constituents may be fuldlled , in our Legislative 'shouts, I enter upon the duties of this important trust." The klembers baring taken the oath of office, On the motion of Mr. Lathrop, Matthew St. Clair Clarke, Esq. former Clerk of the House, was appoinied Clerk for the present Congress; John Oswald Dunn, Sergeant at Arms; Benjamin Burch. door-keeper, and Overton Can, aistitsuat door-keeper. Orders were passed continuing she rules of order adopted by the last Congress, appointing twelve recinek as the stated hour of meet ing; directing the Clerk to furnish the Members with newspapers, not to exceed in price that of three daily papers to each: appoint ing a Committee to join one appointed by the Senate, to spit on the President end inform him that they were ready to receive any communication be might have to make ; and then the House ad. joerned. On Tuesday. at a few minutes past twelve o'clock, the Alessage from the President of the United States, printed in another part of our paper, wee received in each House, by Mr. John Adams, jun. the President's Private Secretary. It was accompanied by Reports to the President by the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, and the Postmaster-General, with other documenti. The Message was read, and in each House ordered to be printed, with the accompanying documents. The printing of so large a number of copies of the !Besiege, as is usual, we should think quite a superfluous labour, as some millions are printed in the news. papers, and generally distributed in anticipation of those printed for the use of the Members. In the ['flume the Message and docu ments were referred to a Committee of the whole House on the state of the Union. In the Senate a resolution was offered for the appnintmeat bf a standing Committee of Commerce, and one of Manufactores„ instead of a Committee of Commerce and 31antsfac. lures. Mr. Van Boren pee notice that he should un Tuesday submit a resolution to amend the Constitution on the subject of roads and canals. PIGICTICE . OF THR INSULIT2I7 DEBTORS' COURT: Our intelligent correspondent, who signs himself " A Practitioner," has addressed another letter to Its, suggest ing several improvements in the practice of attorneys in the Insolvent Debtors' Court. lie begins by remarking, that " unfortunately such is the general ',Nulty on this subject, notwithstanding the number of applications for relief from persons in the London prisons alone since 1820, al ready exceeding IS,OOO, exclusive of those from the country gaols ; and such is the character of the practice of the Court, with its attendant prejudices, that few Attorneys can be found trilling either to point out its abuses or assist the Commissioners in correcting them. That these Learned Gentlemen wish to see their Court attended by Attorneys of respectability, cannot be doubted. This is the very spirit of their rules, and the subject of their daily remarks. It only remains for them to enforce those rules, and make such additional regulations as the astonish ing extent of this practice so plainly requires. If this business were tltrowu open to the profession, and the remarks I have already made attended, to, with respect to the Commissioners requiring an entry in their own office of the dates of admissions, certificates, and re admissions, with the place of transacting business, and an entry of the clerk's name, &c. much pub'•ic good would be the result, anti respectable Attorneys would not, as at pre sent is literally the fact, be ashamed to attend to this 'tart of the profession, and agents would no longer be principals. " If the Commissioners were also to require that the Attorney himself receive his own retainer ; that no retainer be signed till one clear day after the prisoner's commit ment; that an office copy of the detaining creditor's affi davit of debt, with an extract of the Sheriff's warrant (besides the copy of prtecipe as in present use) be filed with every schedule ; that in cases of arrests, removals, and surrenders, transacted in person, the Commissioners re quire the attendance and explanation of those persons by whom the business had been so far done ;—tlicy would do more to stop the barefaced practices which are common at Sergeant's Inn Coffee-house and the neighbourhood of the London prisons, than any thing yet attempted by the Law Society. " It ere I to give my reasons for these alterations (the very mention of which will excite no small alarm to those concetned), I should be trespassing too much upon your valuable columns. I shall therefore content myself for the present with hinting at the propriety of Attorneys being competent witnesses to attest a 1 consent papers, &c. and of having the most extensive lieu for their taxed costs, and particularly that an alphabetical list of their names and address be affixed at the office of the Court, and in the London prisons; observing that business would be greatly expedited if an additional commission or two were granted to some of the clerks in the public office for swearing affi davits—if the present office hours were better attended to by the superior clerks—if the office were to open in the evening at the same hours as the common-law offices—it' orders were delivered out at any time within office hours, instead of " not till after two o'clock," as at present, and if all rules on motions were ready for de livery the day after that on which they were made, the practice of the office in these respects, as it now is, being attended with great inconvenience." 1110REArS STATE OF THE BRITISH TRADE WIT!, INDIA AND CHINA, rao)t IWO To 1025.

'IF - THE BRITISH PR - Eg4S. SWALLOW-STREET CHAPEL. A meeting of the Presbytery was held yeaterday at this Chapel, at which Dr. M.aXt:la. presided its Moderator. The object of the meeting (which eat in this instance as a judicial court) was to decide whether seatholrlers. as such, were crank(' to vote for the, election of a minister. This question was litigated in consequence of the appointment of the Rev. William Woodrow to officiate in this chapel in the place of the Rev. Mr. Marshall, who has been lately removed to another simatina. A number of individniiis who were dissatisfied with the nomination of Mr. Woesirow signed is' protest and dissent against this gentleman's appointment. A petition signed by 32 sentliolders was also presented, praying to be allowed to vole for the election of a ;pastor. ale. NE IV MA X, 011 the part of those who signed the protest and dissent. said that the congregation wire the most competent persons w decide the qualifications of a minister; that many of those who signed had been thirty or forty years members of it, and their opinion, therefore, was entitled to consideration. It was said that the seatholdera were incompetent to vote, and that they should haVe been guided and directed by the decision of the elders. They hail applied to the elders to establish their unquestionable right, but they obtained. nn answer, and were left in utter darkness, to grope their way 34 well as they could. Mr. SCOTT said that he would not impute blame to any person, but he would assert that he. and all those who signed the document which was under the consideration of the Court, were dissatisfied with Mr. Woodrow. The lifour ATOlt here said it was competent for Mr. 'limey and Mr. Romani). the elders, to whom the protest and dissent were forwa-ded, either to appear at the bar, or to sit as judges. These gentlemen waved their right of elders, and appeatett at the bar. Mr. Ilta wig stated that hia reason for not attending to the protest was, that it contained a false statement. and way not there fore a fit document to be read In such a sacred place an the church. The consideration of the petition next came before the court, when Dr. Iltsys IE addressed the court, he said that those who signed the petition were persons who had not, as he hat; been informed, ever communicated with the congregation, and might as well be con sidered Mahometane as metubers of that congregation. He was proceeding to make further observations of this kind, when he woe called to order by the Moderator, and admonished to ab s tain from personalities. The gentl e m an having complained of the cold. dbl. continued his harangue. Perhaps the observations of the Mode rator served as a damper to the warmth with which hebegan. A Mr. NtwalAN replied. Mr. LEST.E E advocated the cause of the seatholders. He read a written speech. He answered two objections against the right of the seatholder to vote Mr the appointment of a 'moister. The first was that the practice was contrary to the custom of the Church of Scotland mid the second that it was dangerous to admit such a right, as many persons might become seatholders for th e purpose of exercising that right to appoint objectionable persons. To the first objection lie replied, that the Clergy of the Presbyterian Church derived their support from the contributions of the sent. holders, but in Scotland they derived it front other sources. In Scotland, a patron who MRS not a Member of the Church might appoint; but he contended that they were not bound bf the laws of the church of Scotland, nor could they Appeal to a synod or Presbytery of Scotland front the decision of thut Court. It was therefore illiberal and unfair ton:strict their privilege to rote. The Her. Gentleman in question bad declared that he would not ac. cept the situation unless he was appointed by the consent of all, and now that two-thirds of the congregation bad dissented, it would be equally oppressive to the seatholders, and that gentle. man, if the dissentients were decided to have no voice in the election, as he must obtain a proportion of his support from persons who disapproved of his ministry. In tvply to the second objection, he said, that as the consent of the Presbytery was memory in all cases, on danger could arise front allow ing the right in question. The exclusion of the seatholders to vote was the more intolerant, as it proved a gross partia lity for those who were friendly to the " Call," were allowed to sign that instrument, while these who dissented were not al lowed to vote, and were now obliged to appear as peti tioner at the bar of that Court. The right of the seatholders to vote was established at the Caledonian Chapel at London-wall, and Dr. Manuel himself admitted die right at the election of the Her. Mr. Marshall, and he had an affidavit in his hand which proved that the Moderator (Dr. Manuel), had made that admission to iir Peter Laurie. MS. I il : 1.\011;Ved to see the affidavit ; but as it was not signed, he said, it was not a valid document. The Mootnaxost having asked both parties if they had any further observations to make, declared the proceedings on the port of the dissentients and Presbytery closed. lie then vacated his seat as Chairman, which was taken by Dr. Bright. Dr. Maxviet. then said that he never admitted that the seat. holders had a right to vote ; on one occasion, where all were unani. mous, he had waived the technical forms. and permitted those per. sons to express their approbation of the person then appointed in that way, and he was sure his friend Sir Peter Laurie would admit that to be the fact were he present.

MR. J. S. BUCK ING (IA M. At twelve o'clock the Chair was taken by C. Mittaontnaates; Esq., when The lion. D. KIN WATRD mae for the purpose of calling the at tention of the Court to the subject of the first proposition for the consideration of which Ilonourable Proprietors were assembled, pursuant to the requisition signed by himself and his Honourable Friend (Mr. Hume). and addressed to their Chairman. Ile felt anxious to state, not merely the general effect of his proposition, but its particular tendency : so that in tact he was not leas desirous to mention what was not contemplated by it than what was cont. prehended within the object he had in view. First, then, as to the negative portion of his intention. He did not WWI to impeach the Government of India. It was alike his intention, and should be his endeavour, in the course of this discussion, to consider the question immediately at issue in a light as separate as possible from the subject of Indian effigies generally. Neither was it his purpose to examine whether or nut the conduct of Mr. Bucking ham hail been the wisest and most prudent that was possible. It' was enough to say that that individual had suffered some very severe injuries, to an accurate description of which he meant to confine himself, leaving out of conskteration all foreign and extraneous matters. However, this he was prepared fully to maintain, that Mr. Ruckinglram had not been guilty of any immoral or dange rous proceeding which called for, or could justify, his banishment from India. Conceding that the Bengal Government had acted in strict conformity with the letter of the law, he asked did not Mr. Buckingham's misfortune's far surpass any circumstanc es that might be supported capable of provoking them, and had not all this happened without any fault of his own ? That individual having now outlived and conquered the calumnies once so nettle veringly brought against him, lie was entitled to their most patient and favourable consideration. It was not difficult to account fir the unfavourable impression excited against Mr. B. iii Intlin. The fact was, that gentleman in the course of his travels in the E-st had had the misfortune—such it might justly be called—to inert with Mr. Bankes the younger, who was at that time engaged in si milar pursuits. Mr. Buckingham at the time intended to publish the fruits of his researches, and made his preparation* accordingly. Afterwards lie arrived in India. where he adopt e d f or a time tittle rent views and occupations. However, finally, with the advice of his friends, he came to the determination of publishing an account of his travels, and was of some thousands for the copyright. About this time a letter was received in England by Mr. Hob. house. from Mr. Bankee, who remained still abroad. In that let. ter Mr. Buckingham was accused as a literary thief, and repre sented as a person of the worst character—one who in fact pos sessed no right in the MSS. lie was endeavouring to palm upon th e public as his own, but the chief materials of which lie had pur loined in the most dishonourable and faithless manner limn his fel. low traveller Mr. Barites'. Such were the representations coil. tamed in the letter of Mr. Bankes, which finally found its way into the hands of a most respectable publisher (Mr. .Murray). The effect of such a charge might be well and readily imagined. The bookseller refused, and naturally refused, to have any thing to do with Ala Buckingham or his book. The injury did not stop here : an article appeared in the Quarterly Review, accusing JI r. Bur king_ ham of a breach of confidence of almost unparralleled atrocity, mot describing him in fact as a man of the eery worst moral chat act er. I in potations were in this way cast upon Mr. Buckingham, which, altho' at the time of the most shameful and tinthunded nature, nothing but years could enable him tisnvercome. It was under such cir cumstancee. having retired to India, that lie undertook the manage. ment of a newspaper—an undertaking, as they ell knew, of the most arduous and important nature. Within the space of tour yearn front the period of the commencement of his connexion with it, Mr. Buckingham raised his journal to a high rank, and made it worth ONO/. a year. clear of all expenses. Fur the purpose of effecting this, he haul invested not less than 20,0001. in it, in the shape of type, building, machinery, &c. So highly was this news ' paper estimated, that one-fourtit share was disposed of and divided among a number of private gentlemen, for a aunt of 10.00 W. This paper having succeeded, Mr. Buckingham wag placed in a situation to vindicate his character, and, exclusive of the attack made on him by Mr. Bankes, he begged to state he had it from the best authu rity that no imputations had been cast upon Mr. Buckingham's character in India. Rival editors and newspaper proprietors indeed might have cast out such imputations; and the Government at Bengal might consider hint a literary swindler. In this country it was otherwise: two successive verdicts of a jury of his country re futed hilly the calumnie s o f M r . B an k es , an d left his opponent free ' from all blame. In the actions Jlr. Buckingham had brought to vindicate his character, he did not seek for pecuniary compensation, and accordingly the damages were nominal. Ile (Mr. Kinnaird) alluded toactions brought against the publisher of the Quarterly and the elder Mr. Welke's. Mr. Murray, the proprietor of the Review, was anxious to repair, as tar as he could, the injury in flicted on Mr. Buckingham. These proceedings might account for thefeelings entertained against this persecuted individual by thellen gal Government. In India the advertisementof Mr. B.'s 2d vol. of Traveled, was at first refused admission in the public journals, and afterwards mutilated, lest it should offend the Government. Under these circumstances Mr. Buckingham was considered a literary rogue—a black sheep — and no doubt the same opinion was enter tained concerning him there to the present moment. For a sup. posed political offence lie was sent °mot' the country. He would never stand up to defend the conduct of a man of bad character, or screen him from the public odium lie deserved ; but Mr. Buck. Ingham was upt an individual of that kind. Ile wax ready to ac quit Mr. Bankes and Mr. Murray of all intention to injure the character of Alt. Buckingham maliciously ; and had no objection to include the Bengal Government in the same charitable opinion. All he meant to say was, unfounded accusations were brought against Mr. Buckingham—he was sent out of the country—his property destroyed and great injury thereby inflicted on him. Was it unreasonable to demand compensation for it ? When Mr. Buckingham left India, an editor was left to superintend his pro perty and that of the other proprietors in that country. This individual wrote sotnething displeasing to the Government, and his license was suspended. Here was a positive loss and injury to Mr. Buckingham. It wan even determined that no license should be granted to the newspaper while the property remained in the hands of the existing proprietor. At this time Mr. Buckingham was several thotiennil miles distant. and he was thus needlessly injured : for what did it matter to the Bengal Government who was pro prietor when the editor was changed, he becoming the responsible person ? It was, in fart, determined that no paper in which Mr, Buckingham was concerned stiould be tolerated. It was then attempted to dispose of the newspaper at a very great loss, and under the most unfavourable circumstances. Such a condition of things could not be but immensely prejudicial to the interests of Mr. Buckingham and the remaining proprietors. Accordingly it proved so. and a competent judge decided, that the journal had sunk to value en that it was worth little more than the price of its type and other printing apparatus. It was determined by the Government that a license should never be granted so long as Mr. Bucking. ham continued a proprietor. A new editor (Dr. .Musten) was pro posed, and approved by the Government ; but they would not grant a license, lest by probability at come future petimEllr. Buckingham should regain his former influence over the journal. By this means the property was, in fact, annihilated, and 20,0001. worth of property tendered not worth 241,001.1 pence. A long correspon three and considerable negotiation took place upon die subject. 1, Offers were made for the purchase of the journal, which were defeated by the impossibility of obtaining a license, as no man Could be found hardy enough to vest property in types which lie was not to be permitted to use. This wretched property was thus cast about and deteriorated. It was next suggested to change the tame of the paper, and exclude Mr. Buckingham from all Interference whit his own property. The conduct pursued towards this unhappy man could only be characterised as an attempt to hunt him down and destroy his properly. Such a pro. reeding would not be tolerated in England, which happily was not under the influence of n despotic government, as India appeared to be. It was proposed to lease the property, for twelve months. to an individual against whom no exception could be taken, but tide, too, was considered impracticable, and Mistily abandoned. What more multi the Government ut Bengal do trim' this ? It might next re. loge to permit Mr. Buckingham to let his house. Indeed it was Kttle short of it. Lord Amherst was desirous of having the name of the newspaper altered. It was proaosed to call it the H r ihiab Linn, and lease it for a twelvemonth. However, the proposition was rejected, under the pretence that the proposal was of too tem porary a nature. rind that Mr. Buckingham inieht at the end of that time resume his autliniity over the paper. This waS a pre cious reason indeed ! Could not the Governifienf ranee or distion !Mile their license when that interference took place ? What in. Jury could Truitt from the inteftnesliatc arrangement? The reason alleged for rejecting it was, that the arrangement was of t oo tent orary n nature. Permission was at length given to publish a Journal to be called the gettleman in the Eagf. IVhat could hare the ground of this persecution if it was not intended to ruin Ale. Buckingham, and strike terror into every one disposed to Erention his name or follow his maniple ? Mr. Bucklngliare was legally entitled to dispose of his property in the journal, 111111 had be borrowed 10,11001. on the faith of it in this country, he would have been quite justified. Ile (Mr. Kinnaird) thought no Go ternment would ever pursue such a conrse again, anti he hoped not. Itlr. Buckingham was ruined by this proce&ling, and ere the Court met again, might, coins" be within the walls of n prison. in con. sequence of his sufferings and loss of property. He (Mr. Kin. Mid) knew this individual to be a man of high honour and priori. pie, a credit to the press, and of most unimpeachable character. The Court would do itself credit by rompenaatieg him fur his losses, and voting liiin n grant of 4,0001. for that purpose. It would become the East India Company to adopt such a measure. Mr. Artiott received compensation, net tot pecuniary loss, but to consequence of *offering% of a different description ; lent Mt.

Charles II told his brother, when I'6/harried Lord ClarendSn's daughter, that " he must drink as he brewed," and lie (Mr. Poynder) begged leave to repeat to Mr. Buckingham. that he ton " moat drink as he brewed." Mr. Buckingham might be the first of Chrietiena and the best of men, but his conduit towards the Government of India was such as could not he tolerated. The comma Uenleen Mr. Buckingham and Mr. Bsnkes was not the question before the Court, therefore he should flea advert to that portion of the Hon. Menther'e speech. Ai to the argvaentum ad miseretordiant with which the Hon. Member Concliided, it was mailer fur the public. no: the Caen ; ahel be. its one of the public, did no: think this an occasion for putting his hand is his pocket it: the way suggested. They were not, nice to examine the conduct of Mr. Buckinglieto oka men—it might have been, and he believed it was,highly honourable. but it was to reflect on his conduct as a po litician ; that he (Mr. P.) thought bighly censurable, and such as entirely juetilied the condect of the lietapel (iovernmem towards him, and et:eluded hint from any reesonable claim un the Company for compensation. A Pa OPRIET OR said he considered the individiml in question as a hardly.used man. The question appeared to bee was Me. Buckingham to be persecuted ad nCerPrl, sent out of the country like a felon, his property ruined, his hem in life blasted, and all this without adequate reason for it, or compensation or apoip,ty on the part of his prosecutor% ? lied such injuries been intik rd on this übfortunate man by the re p resentat i ves o f t h at C ourt in lila ? If so sonic compensation ought to be m a d e . S u ppo s i ng r. Buck ingham to have done wrong, wee he therefore to be destroyetl? Even had he been in the wrong he was ptinished more than suit'. ciently ; and it now became the Court to combine rlerey with justice, and vindicate their own character for Hun:an:ten I•y cm • petinving him in proportion to the it iuries lie had sustained. Mr SAMUEL D 1 XON thought that the protnoiers of the present proceeding were not serving Mr. Buckingham by the demand they made for papers and document*. If, us the Hon. Mover told them, .Mr. Buckingham stood in such imminent peril of being imrhured within the walls of a prison, then their demand for doctimente was not calculaied to bring their object to a favourable or %Fleetly issue. He thought Mr. Buckingham lead much of his misfortunes, how ever great they -were, to blame himself for. Repeatedly he had been warned of the dangerous nature of his conduct, but he lied persisted and paid no attention to the warnings. His proceedings were such as endangered the safety of the British empire in India, and it therefore because necessary to check it. Under those circum stances he would recommend Mr. Buckingham to make an humble and respectful representation of his lows to the Court. which. i could scarcely be doubted. would take it into its favourable consi iteration, arid act it humanity and justtice should elictite. Sir C. Fon ens was of bpinion that if the Court thought Mr. Buckingham Oh-mid act as was suggested by the list sneaker, it was not too late to adopt the recummendatior. Fur his part he approved of the suggestion; and if it should appear teat the feelings of lion. Proprietors were in its favour, he would pro ps* such a course, by way of amendmeut to the resolution theta before tire Court. fie did not stand there to vindicate the &e -recter or conduct of Mr. Buckingham : the first was irre inwanhable, and needed no defence. The letter 'sight have been occasionally rash or imprudent, but surely It never went the length of endangering the security of India. (Hear.) Supposing his political conduct to have been mistaken, was his property t o be =titillated, and himself treated like a felon? lie thought not. lie did not object to the circumstaree of Mr. Buckinghatn's trinsportation from India, so much as to the utter destruction of his property. The Stipterne Government possessed the right of sending out of the country such persons at they thought fit. Having exerciser} that authority over Mr. Buckingham, they should have stopped. (Hear.) What he now called upon the Court to do*" to award an edeqUaie cOmpensiniOn to (hie in jured individual, and prevent his wife and family from being tented into the street, fie (Sir C. Forbes) relied upon the Loud ness of heart of the Hon. ('huirtnan and the Court, as sutti sient to etimulete them to adopt the measure suggented by the lion. Gentleman who had proposed the resolution Omar): mot afford Mr. Buckingham pecuniary relief, in proportion to his great salt:rings and trentendette loss. The Hon. hart, conclueed by prieposing that a *um of 5,00 f/. be voted to Mr. Btickitighain. In consideration of his great pecuniary losses, resulting from blade ponation hotu India, and the measures adopted by the Bengal Government. Colonel Si Set port: said, he wished to advert to the character of SOW of the shateholders of the Caknetri Juurnal : one of tnerie was Mr. John Palmer, son of General Palmer. whose infleehee in India had been so considerable during the administration of War ren !Doting,. No person, not excepting Lord Amherst. or the twenty-four Directors behind the bar, knew more of India than proprietor (Mr. Palmer). With respect to the character of Mr. Buckingham himself, nothing could he higher. Ile sooke from persona(( experience when Ito called him a kind father, all exem plary husband, an excellent citizen. and a good mau. So moth of the proprietors and conductor of the Calcutta Jocund. What had been the proceedings adopted towards the hatter ? In consequence of Mr. Buckingham's animadverting on the conduct Of Dr. Bryce. be was sent out of India, and Mr. Arnott shared a similar fate. The editor next appointed was displaced for publishing a painph. let written by hint (Colonel Stanhope). What was next done ? The license was taken away. The consequence was, that the pro petty which cost Mr. Buckingham twenty thoesand pounds, and a fourth of which was sold by him to his brother proprietors for ten thousand pounds, only produced that persecu te d in di v id ua l one thousand five hundred guineas. In addition to this Mr. flocking. leant was called upon for five thousand pounds incurred as expenses ill consequence of his absence. A more disgracelul proceeding had seem beeti perpetrated than the banishment and persecuting of Mr. Buckingham. Coder thotte circumstimeee he treated the Coon of Director, would semunerate Mr. Buckingham ter hie losses, and prevent the necessity of his appealing to the liberality and justice of the British Parliament fur redress. Mr. R. JACKSON was desirous that every practicable degree of liberty should ha seethed toile preen in India. lie was sorry to °keens the degree of asperity with which the Honourable Mover had prefaced his Resolution. It was unjust to impeach the con duct of Lord Amherst. who was not present tai defend himself'. It had been said the Governor-General refused to grant a license to any paper, the property of which remained in Mr. Buckingham. That was not the fact. Lord Amherst only desired to present 31r. Buckingham's interference with, or influence over the press itt India. It cppeared from the correspondence quoted by the Hc. nourable Mover thet Lord Amherst was willing to license the journal in question On .Me. Buckingham's relinquishing all right of interfering in it, conduction. 'flits was the Govenor.General's ob ject fruits the timt, and it was nut his intention to injure .31(. Buckingham's property by the proceedings he thought 'memory to adopt. The observations made upon Lord Amherst were en tirely unfair. That which was imputed to him was incorrect, and Iris Lordship's own words and actions gave the best contradiction te the charge. With respect to the motion of the Honourable Mem ber (.)lr. D. Kinnaird) for the production of the correspondence, lie could not but opp ose it. That correspondence had b een already investigated and determined upon by the Directors. It was generally admitted that the Government of India was right in its treatment of Mr. Buckingham. A solemn din:notion anti decision in a hill Court had been come to upon the subjeet, and he could not consent to a re-hearing. The decision of the Court un that oc casion was nearly unanimous and ought to be final. With respect to the synspathetic appeal Made to their feelings, he (Mr. li. Jackson) would be Most anxious to give that sill-diet the best anti most coesiderate examination. But he thought the motion for the' production of the documents in question not a course likely to further the end in view. Me did nut feel any ttle;ection to the pre. auction of the documents written subsequent to Mr. Beeeingliam's departure from India; but could not concur in the propriety of furnishing those previous to that period. . In common with every admirer of tetent, lie respected the character of Mr. Buckingham ; and would therefore suggest the propriety of originating a recom mendation to the Directors, that they would take the cireitinstatmes of Mr. Buckingham into their consideration, and adopt such measures as they might think fit, certuio of receiving the co-opera- I titan of that Court In every humane and favourable view they might be pleated to take of the subject. r. Helot asked whether it was the desire of the Court that 1 Mr. Buckingham, in addition to banishment from India, should suffer the complete confiscation of hisentire property ? Ile agreed with his Honourable Friend (Mr. D. Kinnainl) that circumstances , of a peculiar nature had created an unfavourable impression again,: Mr. Buckingham in India. It had taken the lablie of seven or ' eight years to retnove those impressions. Roweeer, this was ex. traneous matter ; the question was all to the amount of his loss. On his departure front India his share of the ertirntra Journal was valued at 30,0001., and could have been said for 2(1,000/. under all the disadvantages of the time and occasion. Its estimated an nual profit was 8,000/., and a fourth share was sold fur 10,001.1/. to the other hundred proprietors. The regulations drawn up by Mr. Buckingham, at the time of his departure from India. for the fu. ' tune conduct of his journal, were most temperate and iudicious. This was at a time when some degree of initstion might have been expected to result trans his recent persecution. Bat no such thing wits apparent its those regulations, which, ao the contrary, were singularly moderate an d ju di c i ous . All he (Mr. Ilwom wished i for was, that the Court would take into its conaideration Mr. Buekinghanee losses and all the circumstances of tile case, I rmo. view to a reasonable compensation for those losses. It was not }its • desire that any &eminent% or correspondence oilier than that which had paused subsequent to Mr. Buckingham's departure from India e should be now produced. In that point he fully (weaned iit the propriety of the suggestion of his flononrabS Friend (Mr. B. Jackson. lie also was ready to a g ree to the erorosition to submit the matter :e !ig decis..ie e the il%ztor!. but Lt thought it weitiel
