lICALL Of SIR G H. BARLOW. Views; MELVILLE, who had been r eviously in the House, on seeing the nil, at the head of the Board of Controul. tape his seat on the Ministerial Bench, rose. sit spoke, as on the former evening, in a *of voice; as we could coiled from him, that seeing a Noble Lord now in his place. *id, in following up what he took the liberty to ✓ out on a former evening. put a question ro to that Noble Lord. and according to his ors thereto, he should be determined, as to ibj. her, on his own part, he should deem it in ton him to propose. He had first to ask, there at present existed any Government I at Cakistta ? and =at, What Government : it was t MINTO immediately rose. He expressed Ihroighout Jr. a low tone of voice. He he had no sort of objeltion to afford the Viscount every information in his power, on ettof his queries. He had, therefore, to" him, that there existed at present in Bengal, `v such . a Government-General as had re fears. the moment of the loss of the ktutrallis. At the same time be had a it was certainly true His Majesty had il to iota* Sir George Barlow from his Well; and for that purpose a new cons been made out, and the necessary steps anthem* of the supercession. as pre. he Asa of Parliament, under which such ' prasseding detives.

INTO replied, he had no hesitation in the Noble Viscount, that such an inti s, been transmitted to Sir George Bar s* of the mea:,ure taken for supplying ' vacancy ; but, so we understood his st it was not meant the other Mem srd should be so reealle.:, and that we was proposed to take place in the ! ties t - - of - - ..count MELVILLE said, he had heard A, to make him feel it his duty to trouble their malsitips - witb a sootier), on the suJjed of the Go- -, etetner•General of Bengal ; and of which he now gaga notite, as intending to bring forward on Fri day sett, for which dry. he would move their limrdillips to be Guinn:med. It was impossible he ilookl, with an easy mind, hear the Wit now crated, respoltiog the recall of Sir George Barlow ; and. at eke same time, read, what he had read, of af fairs in that quarter ; especially after learning, that that parson bold cis high and irnporzaot office there, meetly as a temporary aituation. It was impossible be muld feel easy, when he considered, that there Misted otrirmily no Government-General in India. The Noble Viscount concluded. by moving, .. that the Lords be summoned for Friday nest." Which was adored accordingly.

The SECRETARY at WAR. wished the Ho. nourable Member would name the day, as he had other Papers to move for, which would throw more • light on the intik& Mr. ROBSON replied, that he understood by what had passed, that the Chancellor of the Exche• quer had abandoned the business, and he therefore gave notice, that he would, on Friday, bring forward a motion on the suhjed.

Wallace, Mr. Windham, Mr. Percival, Mr. N. CalVerrs Dr . Law ' tenet, Sir Wm. Young, Viscount Cmtkre:tgli, Co loncl Bastard, Sir J. Newport, Mr. Wm. - Smith, and Sir Robert Lawley. The clause with respect to the appointment of 05icera by the Lieutenants of the Contuses being recd, he Mr. PERCIVAL objeCted to it, as it would, said, be in the power of a Lieutenant to appoint as many Officers as he pleased, some of whom might command the Officers of the Inc.' Lord DE IIL AQUIE RE supported the objeSion ; as he thought it would be imposing a very unplea sant task on the Lieutenants of the counties. Mr. Secretary WINDHAM did nut any mischief could arise from .putting this power into the hands of the Lieutenants, as the appointment was only to last until His Majesty's pleasure was made known. The clause was then agreed to without a division. The clauses being all gone through, some addi tional ones wese brought up. and agreed to with out debate.

Russia having intimated her intention to send some ships through the Dar danelles to Corfu. the Porte declared, that hex cc esta's.* would bring upon her. the anger of tHrance, and that she must oppose the measure, if 'persevered in, by force: It thence appears, that France has obtained the ascendancy over Turkey— an ascendancy confirmed by the surrender of Cat. tarn, and the faoting which the French have ob tained on the eastern side of the Adriatic. It is stated. in an article dated Vienna, June 7th, that an Imperial Russian Order has been sent for the evacua tion of that place To itttain this objea,it appears that Austria had shut Trieste, and all her other ports on the Adirtatio, against Russian and English vessels. Cattero bring now evacuated, this' prohibition will, of course, be revoked. The Garrison of Gaeta, Assisi. d by All English force. lately made a sortie, in which a party of it was cot oil.
