Mr. Adam was heard at considerable length be fore a Committee of •Privileges, in behalf of Sir George Jeritinglrum, the claimant of this Peerage. T;:e.Loito Cumvce,Lima having:intimated that it would. he deSirable fur the Conimitteee to heir the arkutnents on the other side ; the further pro ceeding4 were postponed till this day peunight for that purpose. The Lottery Bill, the Irish Arm% Bill, aud the Irish Bridges Bill, were reiid.,a.:third time, and passed. The Cape of Good !lope Vine Bill, the Irish Malt Bill, the. Irish Treasury Bills 13i11', and the Irish Militia Bill ; passed through Committees, and were reported without any amendnient. CFMISTIANITY.IN rsintA. Upon the Order of the lJ►y being read for taking into consideration the ltcsolutio►►• rel►itive to India, communicated to their Lordships by the Commons yeste►day, The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE 'moved that the same be-referred to a Committee of the whole House. , The House having formed itself into a Com mittee, and the Clerk having read the Reso lution, The Earl of BUCKINGIIAMSUIRE said, he should' not detain their Lordships by saying much on the subject of this resolution. It was well known that all countries except, this had access to lndbt foi- the , purpose of diffusing instruction and religious prin ciples among the inhabitants. Ile:-dial not fore see the danger of any probable mischief whiCh was likely to result.from the adoption of, the present .resolution) for if the former part of it contained. any thing of a mischievous or dangerous descrip tion, it was perfectly guarded against by the latter part, - which provided the terms upon which such a religious propagation should be instituted, and especially provided, thar the Hindoes should en joy, unmolested, therights of their own religion. Ile thought, indeed, the resolution extremely fa vourable to the natives, for this was the first time Parliament had made any declaration on the sub• jeet,-and they were now pledging themselves to take the iiindoo religion under their protection. It wotildbe.reeollected, that before this period no law existed with respect to the religion of the na tiVeg, and the Company had. only from their own discretion been induced not to interfere, but on the side of protecting them against the molesta tion of others. Provided those who undertook to communicate religious instruction did it with pro priety, and subject to the restriction of the latter part of the resolution, he did not see any, reason to be apprehensive on the occasion, and he trust ed,.therefore, under all the circumstances, that their Lordships .would give it their. approbation. The Resolution was then agreed to by the Committee and afterwards reported to the House, when it was ordered that their Lordships assent to, this Resolution be communicated to the Com mous.

The deep interest which .every member of the coninumity has in the various regulations which may from time to time be adopted respecting the impartation or supply of corn, makes us think it will be acceptable to the public to be made ac quainted with the following Resolutions which have been recently adopted by the House of Com mons, on this important subject. I._ That it is expedient, that an Act, made in the 44th year of the reign of his present Majesty, intituled, " An Act to regulate the Importation and Exportation of COrn, the Bounties and duties payable thereon ;" and also an Act made in the 45th year of the reign of his present Majesty, for explaining and amending the said Act at ` Cue 44th year, be repealed : except only solar as the', said Act of the 44th year repeals any part of an Act, made in the :31st year of the reign of his present Majesty, intituled, " An Act for 'the regulating of the Importation and 'Exportation of Corn, and the payment of the Duty on Foreign Corn import ed, am! of the Bounty on British Corn exported." 2.

DECREE OF THE PRINCE OF ECK'NKTSG. We, 'Marshal the Mince of Eckmuhl, Governor General of the 32d Military Division, by virtue of tbc orders of his Majesty the Emperor, and of the powers conferred upon us" by the decree of the 10th of April, relative to the Hanseatic Departments, have decreed, and do decree 'as inflows : • i. There shall be levied on the town of Flainhurgh, 1)y wai of punisinuent, an extra Ordinary contribution of =0 tuillions of franks 2. The tvikolc of this contribution shall be paid in the space. of one month from the 12th instant. The plyments are to be made in six parts :—the first sixth on the 13th of June ; second flitto on the 20th ditto ; third ditto on the 25th ditto; fourth dittotni ditt 4; fifth ditto on the 3th of July; sixth ditto on the I°2th ditto. O. These periods of payment are to be strictly attended to. The three tint sixths must he paid in specie; the three hu t may he paid in hills on Paris, at three months date. '. 4. Itepartitiening Cummissoners shall be named by us, on It is with great pleasure we icier to our Naval News for an account of the safe arrival of the homeward-bound Leeward Island Fleet. This valuable convoy, consisting of upwards of two hundred vessels, reached soundings "all well," on the list, and were proceeding up Channel, laden with wealth, industry, and commercial enterprize, tinder the protection of the Cumberland man of war, This intelligence is' rendered the more gra tifying front 'the-invention and, propagation by the Party Prints, a few days ago, of a malicious un founded rumour, that " Commodore RODGERS had intercepted-the hoMeward-bound Leeward Island fleet, and captured a number of the vessels;"-- which. fabrication, however, they Crete good enough to tell the Publie'onght not to be believed, for that the falsehood was .written solely for the purpose of, enabling, them to say—the apprehen sions of the Public arose - from the known alacrity_ of the American crulzers, and the deplorable in attention of the English Admiralty. On the pre sent occasion, however, it appears that the known alacrity of oar enemies, thus loudly trnmpetted, did, not succeed, au,d that .the deplorable' inatten tion of, our BtutesinFn, ,thustrintnphantly pro itifordetf s9flicient. security to the, trans; port across the 11 tlikptia of this Hell and plentiful - A Paper,, whose devotion to the cause of our enemies is pretty palpable, has this morning -rather out-stepped the modesty of its nature, by stamling forward " demi:officially" as the VIN DICAToIt of DENMARK The document, of which the first part is published to , :day, (the second not yet being got 'ready) is entitled .ankh Vindication, .and purports to be extracted from the Danish State Gazette. le is somewhat singular that This Gazette has hot yet been seen by other'lyes--:-that the paper should be written in an unofficial style--s hat it should allude to de clarations made by 'Ministers in Parliament, which smack of being listened to lust Friday night—that it should state the insertion of articles in the Bri tish Gazette, which are precisely as imaginary as we take this whole pretended Danish Gazette to be in fine, •that it should resemble,. in every point, the flimsy manner, inaccurate language, injurious opinions, and impudent mis-statements, of the Print in whicli" it 'makes its first. appear-. ance. Front these considerations, we lament to say - that we look upon this demi-official document to be a forgery fabricated in ,London, and imposed upon the credulity of the .editor of this Journal. Should it prove otherwise, we shall he happy to controvert the fallacies it advances, and repel the abuse - with which it overflows ; but should we be right in our conjecture, as to the Certificate of origin; which appears to be most suspicious, we will not put ourselves to the trouble of answering arguments which we have already been so success ful in beating down, thttt their writer has not a word to soy for himself. One hint more, acid we have dtmc—Lis there any Danish agent in London who, though not accredited to Government, may be accredited to the Opposition and their organ ? We,have already stated, that the late arrivals from Germany brought no formal notification of the Armistice, .or invitation to Congress, to nar Government. It is most likely, however, that such eptimmnications will shortly be re ccived, in which event it is said, that Lord . , the joint fipteseiliation of the tórinsellei* Stets, the ll ' te.lant “eneral 0 the Finarfeei, the Prefect, and the Director etti'rAt of the • 5.• 'Oleg* Ctitiltriksiotirrs, «hall make- the itlipmition pre4 more.) , artienlarly upon thos'e who, byvotthitary contelhntions or other' ptocieding9; took J'art hi thi acts of - revolt:that have occurred since the 24th of February, O. - In ease of non-paymedi, the prorerty, movable and iza movcable, of whatever ile.:eription, shall bcseque,,tered, and made responsible ft the tbtality Of the SUITE 3 imposelikand this without prejtittice to Personal process. 7.
