"Mr. WHITBREAD understood the Noble Lord to say, that there was no instance cif the Queen : or the Royal Consort buying been so addressed on such an occasion. If this statement .. - ere correct, it Would not be proper, on the contrary it would be improper to vote the Address of the I-Jon. Bart. but if the Queen or the Royal Consort, had in any instance been Waited on with an address of condolence on the &nth of a member of the Royitl Family, be thought it was their duty now to carry such an address to the Princess of Wales. He was sure the Noble Lord would not.take it ill of him if he culled for the authority of the Chair on this subject. Lord CASTLE RE kGIT waS not aware that such an address had ever been voted to the Queen, but if it could be proved that such a proceeding had taken place, he was ? still by no means prepared to admit that the situation of the wife of the Prince Regent was the same as that of the •Queen. The SPEAKER gave no opinion on the po!nt in questicm. The motion was carried. PETITION or SIR JOHN AND LADY DOUGLAS. On the Motion of ML. COCHRANE Jonrzsroxr., the Petition of Sir John and Lady Douglas was read ; and Mr. COCHRANE JOHNSTONE then said, in rising to call the attention of the House to the Petition which had just been read, he would, as he labour ed under severe indisposition, be as brief as pos sible. He believed---he was persuaded that the House would agree with him, that the petition of Sir John and Lady Douglas Was nothing, more than an impudent attempt to give a colouring of truth in the eyes of the nation to the fithehoOds they had sworn. The petition, howeyer, was be foie them ; hitt. in justice to her Royal Highness the Princess of Wiles, he thought that it ought not to be entered on their journals without giving it some mark of their, reprobation. Some might think it was wholly unworthy of their notice, and that by nsoticing it they would give it a degree of importance which otherwise would not be attach ed to it. He thought differently, as he felt they ou g htnot to confine their view of it - to the case as it stood at present. [Here the Hon. Member was for some time unable to proceed front indis position ; he, however, expressed himself anxi ous not to postpone the motion, and wished to be allowed to read a paper which he produced, and Which proved, too be a written speech.] Proceed ing to read the:paper, he repeated his reason for thinking the petition ought. not to he passed over without notice ; and contended, that if it were so passed over, this circumstance might hereafter be taken as presumptive evidence, that it was not thought wholly unworthy of credit, and thus something of a colour of truth might be given to the calumnies which had been circulated against her Royal Highness the Princess, of Wales. He therefore wished some mark of reprobation-to be put .upon it, to guard 'against such an ,eifect.--, The petition appeared to him to originate in a 'wish to iiersevere• in the twist' detestable false hoClds:. f , • Mr. llosE spoke to order. He ivas sorry the lion Gentleman was so much indisposed, but -lie conceived that ill health. was no plea for reading the paper •he had produced. 'appeared to him, that as nutoh exertion was required to read that paper as to speak, and it was contrary to the forms of the House to admit of such a'praoticeas thus reading a paper, Member might Offer the senti ments of soothe' as his own. Mr. TlEatin4 said, this form had been dis pensed with on former occasions ; lta one instance lie recollected permission to read his own speech, or to let another read it for him. Tilt,. SPEAKER admitted the forms of the House. He had to reproackhimself for not having inter-. (erect before. •He had forborne to do so on ac count of the indisposition of the libn. Member . ; it _was a rule that no Member should addreis the House but upon hislegg.' In 'some cases of in disposition, however, Members had' been indulged with permission to speak ,sitting; . Mr, WHITRFIEAD recollected a case (that of Sir John Cok Hippisley) which was still stronger. Lie was so ill that he could not attend the House, and on one occasion another Member thought down the speech which he had intended to make; read it to the House, and afterwards took kpart in the debate. Mr. Rosa said, all he contended for was, that if the Hon. Gentleman was able to read it, he was able to speak it. [Here a pause of sonic length ensued. The Hon. 'Alember (lir. C. Johnstone) was loudly culled on to- read by many Members, which was opposed by cries of " No" froth others. The call for him to read predorniaated.] %Mr. C. JOHNSTONE then went on, to say, that the petition appeared to him to have only originat ed in a wish to persevere in the detestable ca lumnies which they had before promulgated, This conduct was part of a settled deliberate plan for hatching false charges tigainst her Royal. High ness. He had been in hopes that the proceedings on this-subject might have terminated with the motion which he had brought forward some weeks ago. No man was more sofry than him self that it was still necessary to agitate the sub ject, and he would not have returned to it but for the audacious attempt of tile Petitioners to impose on the country. He concluded by movin g : "'that the Petition of Sir John Douglas anti Charlotte his wife, hid on the table of, the flouse on the 16th of March, is rt4iirded as an audseions effort to give in the eyo; of the pub lic a colour of truth to t lialsehoini%,btlore Ku - oril to by them, in primeenting their infamous design's aFainst tlio tie ur:uia life of her. 111>yal lligness the Princess - of Wales." seconded Sir F. Buttrarr ue motion. ftßnneTip rose. hut.coolit tift tu• heard for question," which burst. from all parts of the House. He opposed the motion. He conld not consent ic;;:;tich au bpiniOu On the eVidence of the Peti iddhers, or: Which they Might still 'mire to act as jtitlges; against such ii Resolution he 'would raise his voice, t9-td though he might stand alone, - take the sense Of the House on the subject. Mr. WF:IT.BiIr.AD contended, that no regular grounds hid been 1.441 for the motion; which de blared that Sir John I)onglas had - attenipted to set up, in th,e ::eyes of the pnblic, - that evidence as gonft, which bad been proved to be file; They had not that evidence before them, and theretoie, ivhateier his sentiments were on the Subject„ and the More he reflected on it, the more he waS tisked, that their evidence was false from begin to end, find a part of A mast wicked andatro cious ittcnipt tin the honour ind life of the Win.: cess of Wales ; still, as they had tint the 'nen- Meats before them, on which such a resolution should be founded; he would concur with the motion. He thought it would be better that the House should resolve not to take it into con" sideration at all ; and that the 'previous question should be moved to get rid of the subject, or the order of the day passedou to; or any other mode adopted, which would enable them theta in quit the subject without giving an opinion it ; If how ever, he must say aye Or no to the question, his vote would be no, for the reasons he had already stated. The• SOLIC:TOR-GENERAL said, if the last speaker but one had been interrupted • by the im patience of the House for the question, it. was not because they were so favdurable to the motion, or that he (Mh. Herbert) was likely to stand alone against the proposition before the House. He was, sure that if it was not unanimously negatived, it would only have the voice of the Honourable Gentle Man who brought it forward, and of the ' Honourable Baronet who had reluctantly seeianded it, in its support. He had but one Sentence to oifer on the subject, and that was this—he hoped no previous question would be put upon this most un fair, and if• it could possibly pass, most disgrace ful proposition, hitt that it would , met by a di rect negative. The motion was 'of a nature subversive of all justice and the House of Commons, if it could entertain such a proposi- tion, instead Of tt• blessing would be a curse to the country. Sir F. BOaDETT wished to point out the awk ward predicament in which the House was placed. They were obliged to let the petition lie on their table. The petitioners asked' to re-swear the evi, deuce which -they formerly gave. He had no doubt they knew it was impossible for the House to grant the prayer of the petition : and they were thus brought, by a sort of trick, to let it lie on their table. ais opinion was, that all petitions ought to be received, or he would have opposed this petition in the first instance. In justice to the motion before the House, he must say, that, what ever techinal objections tnight be raised against it, every man must subscribe to the . treth of the pro- position which it 'embodied. Mr: TIERNEY wished to say nothing at all on the subject. It was proposed, that they should declare thepetition to be " an audacious attempt to give as colour of truth to falsehood." This he . ~could not tics; and if he were to give a negative to the motion, it would be to say, it was notso.— (No, from the 111iuiateiial, Lieneh.)--:Theta he did not know what was • meant by a negative. He wished the order of the day to be moved to get rid of it, without giving an Opinion on the sub ject. Where could be the harm of doing this ?: If it could be said, that voting in the negative on it ' was not asserting that the petition was not what it was described to lo* in the motion, he had lost kil , itlea of the meaning of the -words " aye" and "nO." The SCILICITOR-GitNIMAL denied, that to nega tive this motion was to hegative the character of the petition given in : the motion, If he had moved an amendment, Which went to give it another cha tacter. then the objection of the Right Honour able Uentlernan would have been ,well-tounded, as in that case he would have called on the, Right Honourable Gentleman to give the Petition a. CIA-. raCter. lf aperson askeehim to say black Was white, and he said he _would not say so, he did not, acting thus, give an opinion on the subject.—..- Called upon to say this PctitioW was scandalous, refusing to say sO,. was not to assert that it was meritorious. Mr, TIERNEY maintained that by negativing the motion, it might hereafter appear to the historian, that as it way proposed to pronounce the Petition to he " ap audacious attempt to give the colouring of truth to falsehood," and us the motion was ne gatived, that the House of Commons decided it Iva? not an audacious attempt to give truth the colour ing of falsehood. _ _ 'Mr. BAnnAm desired to know what was the use of the previous question, if they were not to avail themselves of it to get rid of a motion like the proeut 3 He wished the Learned Gentleman could be allowed to shew to what ca.se the pre vious question was applicable, if ft was not appli cable to this. The SDLICITOR-GENERAL did not wish to cri ticise the various modes of getting rid of a Mo tion. It was sufficient for him to perceive that there was a strong feeling in the House in favour of one particular course on the present occa sion, to induce him in this instance to give way• He hail- therefore to state that he bad no objection to move, " that this House do now ad journ:" • ' 'lns proposition appeared to meet with general approbation, and the motion for an actiourn rent •- , r , Vas n m umeatety put nod carrot.

I • ' EAST INDIA HOUSE. Yesterday was held at the - East India Home a Quarterly Court of the Proprietors. At twelve, Sir Hugh Inglis took the chair. • The minutes of the last Court- having been read, Sr Huou INGLIS stated that the Proprietors were convened On the present occasion in. rt. guance of certain bye-Imis, for the purpose of ifavirig kid before then; sundry accounts--ae counts on the et'pences .attendant on the supply ing of 3000 tons of shipping - for private trnding— of the quantities of tea disposed 'of at di: , Cool,- &e. &c. all which documents; 1144 been kid before the [louse of Connuons. The report of these vytkdry accounts IN vii g been. rend, Sir Hutln INdLts Said, that it became his &ay to lay before the Court the ReSolutions which had been resen ted to the House .of Cornmons, on MOntlay last, by Lord Castlereagh, in a speech which did the Noble Lord the highest justice for its candonr and ability, and whiCh reflected the greateSt credit on the Gokernment. In that speech Lord Castkreagh spoke itt the highest ternti, at least so he had understood, of the Government Of India, and of the getieral management of the concerns of India, through the medium flf the Company—bet how Must he lament that the No ble Lord had not followed up such rahr and such ho nourable statements, by proposing what would have met with the expectations; which must have been excited by these honest representa torS ! [Theßesolution's of Lord C. were then read, and the third resolution was re-read at the re quest of the Chairman, as it was of most ma-= terial importance, though the others were highly deserving of their mature consideration.] The worthy Chairman cootinned—He had told the Court that Lord Castlereagh spoke in the highest terms of the mauggeMent of the Compa ny. After that . jost emmlogimun he regretted to add that the Noble Lord . bad proposed resolutions, which in effect went to break down all •that had been so eulogized I--To justify these proposed charges be had unders , ood the Noble Lord to have stated that the Company had uot cAPITAL. enough to Manage the trade of India —This representa tion, however, he thought could not be borne out ; indeed it could be shown, provided the Company were allowed to make certain payments in India, that the territorial revenues, such was their pre sent condition, would enable the CoMpany to sup ply capital enough for all the trade that could be tr.ought from India. But Ministers appeared to think. that there were no bounds to the trade be tween India and this country ; he, however, thought, that many persons in that Court could state the contrary.--(,/ear !)—There Was one eir emustince in particular, respecting the opening of the trade, which ought` to be here noticed, as it would materially affect the capital of the Company. The Company's sales took place at stated periods ; end on the returns of those sales they very mate rially depended to .be enabled to make-required payments. Should the out-ports be admitted, they might anticipate the Company's sales, so that when, the Company should look for the .expeeted returns, they would find the goods on their 'mods, in con sequence of the out-ports having gone b,etbre them. But this was not the only objection to the propo . - sitions. 'There was a much stronger, that which had been powerfully dwelt on, namely, the smug gliOg which inns . , take place. It having been ob jected, that all possible facilities were not given to private traders, what did the Company offer last s year ?—ire eonsented flint any quantity of private trade shouldbe allowed—they offered to promote, to the utmost of their power, any extension that. might lie determined On, provided it was confined to the port of London.--(Hear --Th Com only revived that the goods might go through their warehouses ; that sthe trade 'should be confirmed to the port of London; that London should continue to be Made the emporium of Bri-' tish commerce. It was for the benefit' of the kingdom at large that they had wished thelnditt Trade to be: confined to London--and they. %vigil-, ed so still. He had hoped ,that 'Ali - Oster:* would blie attended to this important feature of the Company's repreSentations. The Chairman there informed the 'Meeting that a Petition similar to what had been' presented to the Commons mug be presented to the House • of Lords ;, and the Directors ought also. to be empowered; if they should deem it necessary to do AO in the course of the important discussions Which would take place in *the Legislature, to petition to be heard , by, Counsel, : at the bar, and to have witnesses 'examined, &c. He first moved that a Petition similar to what had been presented to the House of Commons for the renewal of the charter be presented to the House of Lords. Agreed to. The CHAIRMAN' next moved that the Directors be empowered to affix the seal of the Company ti 3 Petitions praying to be heard by Counsel, or for the exaniination of witnesses, should they deem such proceedings necessary. Mr. RANDAL.JACKSON would take this oppor tunity of addressing the Court. They had heard the Resolutions read. Ilius were they advancing towards that crisis which had king been contem plated, and every step became more awful than the preceding. They were now about to know Sv4- ther they were to continue to exist as a ComPany; the question of existence or non-existence hand be could not call that existence if it 'ware proposed to impoverish and ventilate the power so, as to endanger the power itself, awl which was 'uot ex pected and possibly would , not be accepted by Bat in whit th e cotepanv. Nation Were they', placed lay the. Resolution:; A a the , opeeolt 'of Lord Castleregh yi,ll)lttl7lhiagree : Iti with hint that it was ablo, eloquent, and apparently candid. its apparent f u irne., was such that the plan proposed by Mitniters wou ld appear t o be the best plan that human will ( ' dour c ou ld suggest. With unfeignM pleasure di , he hear the - Noble Lord honestly and f fairly puting, to the Company its due p ra i s e—that they were the persons whose wisdom and good policv • had rai,sed this.rnighty empire, and that thev mere the fano:o'lll6es who had p i * serve d it ,(Bcar!)
