Janxioar—Mr. Buckingham does not say he circulated t himself, but he says—" We have received a deep black fed paper in consequence of Mr. Elliott's being confirmed the (Government of Madras, a deep black edged paper of con ilderable- breadth." I desire it to be understood, Ido rlntimate Mr. Buckingham the actual circulatio n a blacksedged paper ; but I appeal to those who heard men Whether there is any material difference between cir culating a black edged paper, and asserting to all India that such a paper had been circulated, and adding, those are his own words. "It is regarded at Madras nil public' calamity, and, we fear, that it will be viewed in no ethee,,_ laghtthmughout India generally." Will any man after me he did not announce the fact of a black edged Paper, having been circulated as a proof of the calamity they were about to undergo, and which he (Mr. Buckingham) thought, }s would be viewed in no other light throughout India reranY." I leave it to the understanding of this Court to dentine, whether or no that wag not npublication deeply dis t:raging to the GOvernor of Madras, and whether it would nut enough to undermine any established Government, if con. „IlltPt like this could he poured upon it at pleasure ? It is now clear, that however Mr. B. mistook the nature of the regula re•uP to January 1820, he acknowledges at least, that he lowe t hem now, and profeues his determination to be governed by them. Let us pursu e hii hi story a little further, and see how far h e • has. acted up to 'promises and professions, so repeatedly made to the Govern o r General in Council. In January, 1820, a letter 4 PPeiied in Mr. Buckingham's paper, respecting the mode in Which the troops o f the Nizam were paid, and it imputed to certain Public Pincus, that they, in order to derive a p rofit to t hemselves, were issuing a base currency, wherewith to pay the Native tro o p s , f rom whom it woul d b e b etter , h e says, to deduct Zeetain portion of t h e i r pay, than to make an advantage by this cland est i ne mode of paying them in false coin I I Thlaktkat must be considered as a pretty dangerous idea to - to be • s Pread among the' native troops.—Mr. Buckingham has elOre than once quoted the expression of Lord Hastings, and I belieVe o tire in • f the Gallant Officer opposite, namely, that " Our Em. hate hangs upon opinion," upon the opinion of whom ? ,t h i e ntisk be upon the opinion of the native sovereigns, or upon t. opinions of the 'Army, or upon that of the native popula- Vitt or ()Mem all three combined. Now, if it should appear l i l , l il these short extra.cts, that there is not one of those classes its,,,t_e?itlion Mr. B. 's writings have not been calculated to 0 ""` from the British Empire, and consequently to shake that „nliellto its centre, I ask, what ought to have been the pro zwgs.of the Government towards Mr. Buckingham ? Can Janata who speaks of the attachment of our native army, att ;pull? upon opinion, and who knows their extreme jealousy of e ht t t ile? conceive to be their rights, imagine a more tnis the; Qu ' Proceeding than to insinuate into their minds, that were paid fraudulently and in a base currency ? The rest .4l; Of Ilydrabad expressed his Indignation, and demanded of up.movernment that the name of the actual writer should be given 4 .1 t was so given up, and Mr. B. escaped the displeasure of .Orartiment. tett months more only had passed, namely, from that t d A. !rillai to November, 1820, when there appeared a Letter sign• .€IS U 1 US. I h ave forsaken for a moment Mr. Buckingham 's Pamphlet, because the instances I am now stating are not there . t e . htl Ibund, but no person will doubt them to be authentic, at i th gra?Pear upon the minutes of Council. The Letter signed ,pulus r uns t h us, " no species of mer i t ( I s h a ll a d vance it ,o ß ullot Much apprehension of controversion) receive!! in this t netrY (India) a commensurate remuneration, but on the con 'arr. every indication of rising genius is repressed, with the m° " undisguised an went acid in consi derate watonness, and every excite d emulation is barbarously withheld, except by the per nicious ineatis of political influence, or, as it is generally termed, i . t4e reatr now not the remotest prospect remains to an officer in India of rising to a participation m the honour and eniolu rfts ents attached to numberless situations in the service, and the Man of independent mind, who disdains to crouch to and fawn 471 his superior, Is condemned to af fl icting and perpetual indi !ence. His • condition closely resembles that of a slave con •e toed to the galleys, who toils with constant and unremitting exertion in the service of a cruel and careless master, without a qistatit prospect of emancipation, or the remotest hope of per. Monad. benefit" Now, if our Government hangs upon opinion, can a more dangerous paragraph than this be imagined, pet spading every young soldier in the army that no species of merit receive* remuneration. When my Hon. Friend speaks of the happiness of a greet community, he speaks of that which is Impossible ; , self-complacency naturally leads to the over-rating of ourselves, and consequently to dissatisfaction. In a great Sanitary service like ours, there must be time el a pse before a bantams body of youth can be raised by promotion. If, as !toted by Mr. Elphinstone, nine-tenths of the Europeans are in Inelinny, and it is thought dangerous for any young soldiers to I ,l•4liich essays, w a s it not t h e d u ty o f t h e G overnment to say , IpPler° again is a departure f r om th ose regu l a tio ns w hi c h you auded and promised to obey."

'Now this Court will perceive that in proiMilatiOng which he himself applauded, and so repeatedly as oae of tttalt be governed by, the Lord Bishop was considered was ,„• d „, s e Constituted Authorities. That regulation, which v'eu the principal one, runs as follows, viz. :—" The ite ra of New , matter coining 3 PPers are prohibited from publishing any vt e3l n u e b a a l i under er the following heads : —lst, Aniinadvcrsions Prpceedings of the Court of Directors, or s stour.... tathonties in England, connected with the alo of th e Local ma 4 or disquisinons on the political transactions e Local Administration ; or offensive remarks levelled at o ' f e th Pnblic conduct of the Members of Council, the Judges I ,,,_ . ,apret i ne Court, or of the Lord Bishop of Calcutta." great _rtetaccke to that thought fit to publish a letter which gave hot o th at venerable and truly worthy Prelate. lam the dm s :,uu npon to go into its merits. We in this country are in ofaS lie Y habit _ smiling at the par agraphs written : . against u . s o small as he gentlemen who furnish them ; but it is not so the veil __ 1% 5,9 nnlunity, and one ought not to be surprized that Self h u ;t* ole and excellent Bishop of Calcutta should feel hint rectty 4 t the manner in which Mr. Buckingham had indi. them t iled him ;he appealed to the Government, requesting ke n • lloves nrs ___ once of the letter in question. It appeared to ful to ts _cot to contain innuations so extremely disrespect- A i ett e„public character of his Lordship . as to call for reproof. and as t ..`', s eo e nsequence was written to. him by the Secretary ; that B uckingham, in speaking of that circumstance, said, than a n ',„‘ really hoped, and thought that " it was nothing more tars diacussion of the subject."—To which the Secre arema Ineturnent replied, " that it was u gross prostitution of s ons represent as a temperate anti modest discussion, an put tirn h e e , i ,4 in. o o, u iti : i z l im ate ia d a c ti ll o a ri rg of e, an Individual, involving at the saute not the less o ff ensive for being he deitos,„"'"Yi;in. that his superior might have countenanced the s d tees-Mt4cl/ ats 0 , 'au. Ilhaving ammo' averted on th e impropriety of ad -40141,10.4t to the Editor of a Newspaper, instead of the proper department where redress could be procured, added, " With these particulars before your eyes, and in contempt of former warnings; you did not hesitate to insert in your Journal such a statement, from a person of whom you declare yourself utterly ignorant, and of whose veracity you consequently cnidd form no opinion. Youi defence for so doing is not rested ea the merits of the special 'ease; but as your aegnment must embrace all publications of a correspontling nature, you in , ist on your right of making your Journal a vehicle for that in.eziee of indirect attack upon character in all instances of a parallel nature. - " When - certain irksome restraint., which had long existed upon the Press in Bengal, were withdrawn, the prospect was indulged, that the diffusion of various information, with the able comments which it would call forth, might be extremely useful to all classes of our countrymen in public employment. A paper conducted with temper and ability, on the principles professed by you at the outset of your undertaking, was. emi nently calculated to forward this view. The just expectations of Government have not beers answered ; whatsoever advan tages have been attained, they have been overbalanced by the mischief of acrimonious dissensions spread through the medium of your Journal. " Complaint upon complaint is constantly harrasing Govern ment regarding the impeachment which your loose publications cause to be inferred against individuals. As far as could be reconciled with duty, Government has endeavoured to shut its eyes on what it wished to consider thoughtless aberrations, though perfectly sensible of the practical objection which at tends these irregular appeals to the public. Even it the matter submitted be correct, the public can afford no relief, while a communication to the constituted authorities would effect such redress; yet the idleness of recurrence to a wrong quarter, is not all that is reprehensible, for that recurrence is to furnish the dishonest conclusion of sloth or indifference in those bound to watch over such points of the general Interest. Still the Go vernment wished to overlook minor editorial inaccuracies. The subject has a different complexion when you, Sir, stand forth to vindicate the principle of such appeals, whatsoever slander upon individuals they may involve, and when you maintain the privilege of lending yourself to he the instrument of any un known calumniator, Government will not tolerate so mischie vons an abuse. It would be with undissembled regret that the Governor-General in Council should find himself constrained to exercise the chastening power , vested in him, nevertheless; he . will not shrink from its exertion, where he may be conscien tiously satisfied that the preservation of decency, and the com fort of society require it to be applied. I am thence, Sir, ine structed to give you this intimation, should Government ob serve that you persevere In acting on the principle which you have now asserted, there will be no previous discussion of any case in which you may be judged to have violated those laws of moral candour and essential justice, which are equally binding on all descriptions of the community. You will at once be ap prised that your licence to reside in India is annulled, and you will be required to furnish security for your quitting the country by the earliest convenient opportunity." Mr. Buckingham answered this by another letter of prodigious length, occupying nearly eight:closely printed columns I now he or his friends can call the Government of Bengal to account for want of candour and good nature e who travelled through the longest epistles I. ever read upon such an occasion, I am utterly at a loss to con ceive; the Secretary, in answer, informed Mr. Buckingham, that his letter " had produced no change in the sentiments and resolutions of Government already communicated to him on the 17th of July." Here the correspondence on this subject closed, but Mr. Buckingham continued to proceed in a cause, which, it must be obvious to every man, was repugnant to regu lations deemed necessary , to the good government of the British territories. One would have thought that intimations so plain ly and frankly communicated, would have been sufficient to have induced him to have altered his course, but the alteration of that course would have been a diminution of his profit, and lie had embarked in a speculation, in which, although it had failed, he thought he might go to a certain length, and then put a native Editor in his places who might set authority at defiance With respect, Sir, to the last offeuce. I am desirous to men tion it particularly, because I think Mr. Adam has been most unjustly treated by those who have argued on the other aisle of this case; the whole matter has been treated as if Mr. Adam acted singly, though lie acted in concurrence with the other Members of Government ; but that fact is suppretised, every term that is invidious towards Mr. Adam has been applied personally to him, which is among the reasons for my craving your attention to th e rea ding of these extrac ts. Do not l et that Gentleman's c h aracter go unsu pported. Mr. Buckingham speaks of Mr. Adarn having done this and that, as if Lord Hastings himself would not have so acted ; but I would ask was there any act done without the authority of that Nobleman, except the actual withdrawing of Mr. Buckinghavn's licence, after L ord Hastin g s had - declared the circumstances under which it should be • withdrawn, without further notice, and that Mr. Buckingham had assidu ously placed himself in that very predicament. The officers of Government brought an action against Mr. Buckingham in the July following, but, while this trial was pending, he circu lated a variety of papers calculated to influence the .Jury as to their verdict, reviling the Grand Jury for having found a bill, and making such remarks as induced the Advocate-Oerieral to move for A criminal information against him, for having endea vours tt., ttnisiwildli, to influence the minds nf ;he,Jury.

The question before the learned Jude whether he - shOuldreCerd 'in the Supreme Court those r - gulationi, which, since the departure of Lord Hastings, the Governor-General in .

They arc to Canna relapse into thebarbarisma of the 14th century, before printing was invented, and to cast a . deep shade over the Intellectual hemisphere of India! Now, let me put it to my lion. Friend candidly to say, what restriction to works of literature or science, would be imposed by there re-' gelation*? What virtuous effort of the human mind may not be now published in India ? The works of Shakspeare or Milton, of Steele, Addison, Pope, or Gay, the labours .cif, Newton or Locke ? What was there delightful in poetry, or in-1 structive in ptoAe, which might not appear? Should men ri.eewp, capable of giving to the Indian public a Spectator,* Teeter, or a Ci.erdian, or such allegories at those of llawkeaworth and Johnson, would they not be hailed with admiration ? Was there, in short, a page which had been written during what had been called the golden age Of literature in country, ore page in the almost immortal works of Sir Wm. Jonas, to which the press of Calcutta was opt, at this hour open ? To what, in. deed, was it not open, except to treason, sedition, and libel ? But, Sir, let us hear what Sir Francis Whiaghten says of these regulations—this patriotic Judge, whom we have' heard this day reviled in his turn. I have never in my life heard out of the mouth of a Judie a clearer or more dispee sionate argument; but Mr, Buckingham is very capricious in his likes and dislikes—there is scarcely one person of eminence thatlie has not at one time praised, and at another time con demned. He is capricious as a youthful lover. First, my Lord Hastings falls under hie displeasure; next, his favourite Judge, Sir Francis M`Naghten ; and, lastly, the eloquent Advocate who haellitood by him on all occasions, Mr. Ferguson. In the beginning of the work he has held up these distinguished per sons as examples to others, and he has concluded his publics. cations wlthpassing the severest censure upon them! Sir Francis hi‘Naghtdbeing about to adjudicate whether the Supreme Court ahoUld consent to Make the regulations proposed by the Governor-General matter of record, and there by matter of law, takes a step, of itself sufficient, to !thew that freedom of the highest order exists in India. It had been sug gested to him that he need not hear argument against these re gulations, they were merely matter between the Judges of the e Supreme Court and the Governor in Council. No, says Sir Francis M'Naghten, all the world ehallhear, and object , if it pleases. The Act says, there shall be twenty days between publication and the date of the record, and it must mean that all men may co me i n t o the Court, and object,—let them do so. d I d .Mr. remilo willhearwfsian‘ be he a rdteveryina my n has to say before I record them. lie accordingly heard Mr. Buckingham's el-de-vent friend, rr n ien friend, Mr. Tenon, and he heard the memorial of those six nativee, which we have heard read ; edict Air. Buckingham taught some wan to write as lie does, or himself was its author ! Mr. BD eXI NO Ira At —I was not in India at the time. Mr. JACKSON--O man can read that petition without con cluding by whom it had been prepared ; it is most ably done, and I will not let Mr. Buckingham's modesty, excessive as it ' is, stand between him and his - honest fame ! I believe that he drew up that petition I shall conclude, Sir, by reading what I stated as delivered by Sir Francis 111‘Naghten. " lie said he believed (and it was a great gratification to him to believe it), that there was not upon the face of the earth a place in which there was more real and practical liberty than was at this moment existing in the City of Calcutta. He be lieved there was no place in which industry was alike free in its exercise, or better secured in the enjoyment of its acquisitions ; that there was no place where it was likely to be so effectually aided, if it hail any thing like a claim to assistance. lie sai d it was many years since hire load last arrived, that he had never heard of any individual who could justly complain of the con• duct of the Government; that his believetlei snore mild, lenient. or indulgent one, never existed; and fur himself, he ventured to.say, it' any act of tyranny or oppression was brought to his notice, in any way, that he would most earnestly join in resist ance to it by all the means that were not forbidden by law ; that he would remonstrate, and petition, and could not believe that redress would be denied, or that checks would not ba'ap plit..d which might effectually prevent a recurrence of the evils complained of. He avowed his belief, however, that no benefit would be derived, and thought no benefit ought to be derived, from disrespect to the Government ; and as no grievance in reality existed, he thought the stability of a Goverment, under which such advantages were enjoyed ; ought never to be endan gered by mere speculative discussions, which certainly vet) few of the community could derive any benefit from ; and those few, perhaps, not the most worthy of consideration. W here. he would ask, are people mote substantially independent to be found ? There is no place where men can declare and assert their rights with more fearlessness and security. Every thing which it is of importance to maintain, may be maintabied and asserted without any fear of the consequences, and a Govern ment under which so much Is enjoyed, would not, he hoped, be endangered for the gratification of a few, who very possibly c":6l::::rly*:l:istl74'ilie."al7llthora"zity w 3 e h l et i :l e is u c p uzi : n o ) ; theorie s th at t rt l w t e, : , no Man nas any real interest n, " stir ! which cannot be amp 1 himself, as we shall see, to soosi.les ties regulations of 1813 a' " waste paper," and had determined on the plan of emotion, unbaniehable Editor, in case lie itioisOlf.should be obliged to sound a retreat. There was no othse way of meeting this era eiOn, and of Government securing itself.against a native Editor, titan the calling into aid some law whieli should oblige pative as well as other Editota to apply for licences, I will not at this moinent say whether ti:is Act, and she RegulatiOns which foilewed it, may not admit of %Toe amendment ; and if my Honourable Friend should think fit to proposes that both the Act and the Regulations should be laid before the Court for its consideration, I sheuld have no objection to such a motion, I am wilting to see if they can ba rendered more liberal or more certain ; but I cannot consent that Mr. eldam'e character should be hung up, or the Bengal Government go without due support, until my lion. Friend has procured the nublication of a voluminous macs of papers; all of'Which he has in the course of his stseech shewn himself to be in peaseasion of, and which the defendant, if I may so call him,. has already communicated to the public through the medium of the press. Sir, I think, we have enough betore us, and that I have read zi to read,' to prove that the conduct of the Bengal Government' was strictly right. have bat one more pass which relates to some strictures whi c h hail given offence to our old and firm ally, the Sovereign rtf °tide ; this had induced a circular from Government to the Editors of Newspapers- The Secretary writes: " I am directed to communicate to you the de sire of the most Noble theGovernor-tieneral in Council, that you will refrain from inserting in your p a per env of those strictures for which the information must at lea s t b e loose, but 'probably invidious, while their purport is wantonly insulting to a Sove. reign who has shewn the wannest attachment to the British interest." It is amusg to observe th plot of conseuence at which the Editor of the Calcutt a Jo e urn o al had t 5 thi q s time arrived, and the conclusions which he had now come W. As to, " threats of displeasure from Govern ment , he sa ys, in his remarks upon this last admonition, in point of fact, and in point of lass, the restrictions of August, 1811," restrictions which himself had applauded and repeatedly prorniated his profound obedience to, "era mete waste parcr / they have never been passed into a 'regulation in the only legal manner in which regulations can acquire the force of law, be the sanction of the Supreme Court ; and are of no more force or value than would be ti circular of the Governor-General in Council, cointitasallso us to give up our rweserideetnocveisfiotrCathleeutftteLa7omrutio°gdaivtie°llllpoofUtrhbatid-iCett;tqg of ns s s ° es t e ul g e ' lioif he , and ofon rthtaeblegetonclytisilseorvusavin.tat.,"totifft4insttiott;!inoWeka goes on thus • q c u r e .s n o e s r of a e s . n o 7 m r a e " The communication of this daaire of' the L:o v e in Council, is at least entitled to as much, regard, h , 0 11,• - sr:i an abstinence irons strictures on acts for which the information or authority is loose, and the motives of comment probably Invi.. dious ; it ask: ter to abstain from the publication of that which. is wantonly insulting to a Sovereign, who is at least attached to . the British Government, and who, it might be added, does not, sufficiently comprehend the nature of free discussivn, to sup pose it can possibly be permitted on his acts, without the Eng lish Government at least approving the censures passed on his conduct. The request is a very reasonable one , taking into acsvuzit the limitations stated, and when It makes a reasonsibte ?vines!, it would be unreasonable indeed not to comply with it; but there its merits feet." Here., then. Sir, is this free mariner, at last planting his f oot upon the neck ofGovernment, even upon the neck of those whom three years before he had, addressed in terms almost of servility ; and by whom he had been repeatedly told what must be the consequence of such conduct, indeed there is no end of his warnings. I have now read no fewet than .tire or six of theta! We are not here, Sir, to measure the discretion of the ap pointment of civil officers to any particule • situations; I am not myself friendly to the annexing of Spiritual and Lay offices. I think that many who are anxious to support the Established Church of this country, risk its welfare by appointing so many of the Clergy to the Commission of the Peace, thereby remov ing to the austere elevation of use Bench those who should cul tivate all those meek, generous, and charitable feelings which are essential to an affectionate and free spiritual Intercourse with their flocks, whose sickbeds they should be ever ready to visit. and administer consolation very different from the mandates of a Judge. But this was no excuse for 11r. Buckingham, who treated the appointment of Dr. Bryce in a manner disrespectful to Government, and in the teeth of the regulations. Hitherto every act respecting M s . Buckingham had been under the au - personal knowledge, t a h o o d r i o t y o e f m L o o r r e d } s l o es :h i a n n gi lh a e nd lasr a. h isU b r is ance, that for the next offence his licence should be revoked without further notice.— This meal of his licence was done upon a review of his whole conduct, anti not, as has been erroneously asserted, on account of the animadversions made on the appointment of' Dr. Bryce; whoever will take the trouble to read the order, will find that it expresses for what reason the licenee is withdrawn ; it runs thus :—" The Governor-General in Council having taken into his consideration the repeated and systematic violations, by AIL Buckingham, the ISditor of the CoLnitta Journal of the rules issued by Government on the 19th August, 1818, for the guidance of the Editors of new spapers at this presidency, (a copy of which was duly communicated to Mr. Buckingham, Itv direc tion of the I lovernor-General in Council) , and having by taken into his consideration an article in the Coiceato Journal of the Bth inst., page 641, and hiving referred to the licence of the Honourable the Court of Direetors,,autherixirlMr. Buck -4104/444ifiltrt'gbe here relinet and that' 01ehillOwing Order in Council, recalling that licence, be communicated to Air.

General in the or inary dlicharge or ma uusy, been done by the Attorney-General here, and granted by the Court, and it would have been tried but for a reason which has been unfairly stated here, as well as in the House of Commons. It has been said that when Mr. Adam came into power the in formation was renewed, and that it was thus renewed by Mr. Adam, as the first and eager act of his authority, although it had been previously abandoned ! Now the short story of that information is this—The information was moved for, rant ed, and about to be tried, but on account of the coming home of one of the Judges, and the other ping to flowbay or Ma draft, there was but one Judge left, and he thought proper to decline trying the cause single-handed. This is a circumstance which happens frequently iu our own Courts, a Judge will often say—l had rather this would come on when the Court is full, as it relates to a great public question. Sir Francis Mac naghten did so, Sir Henry Blossett arrived, and when the Court became full, it was again proposed for trial. AVe know, that, soon after, Sir Henry Blossett died, and Sir Francis Macnaghten again became the single Judge, and again declined to try it ; and before the Court was filled by Mr. Justice Puller, the license was withdrawn, and Mr. Buckingham was sent borne ; but the charge upon Mr. Adam, that he renewed this information, stands contradicted by the fact, that it was regularly so done by the Advocate-General, in his run ine of public duty, under the Government of Lord Hastings 'd 'ldea man, Ay are so effectually protected. " The fallacy consisted in affirming that this was a free country, and he wondered how men could be so deceived, or could have so deceived themselves. Ile had never seen or heard of tither text or comment that could lead him to believe the rights of Englishmen here, were at all like the right of English men in their own country. Ile would, he said, speak his sen timents in defiance of any man's resentment, and he knew it was idiotcy to tulk of men having a control over Government in a country in which they lived merely by suKrance, in which they had no right to be at all, earl from which they might by law be removed at pleasure.

" That this Coen sloth cordially concur in the approbation expressed by the Court of Directors, of the revocation of Me. J. S. Buckingham's licence to reside is India, considering that Gentleman's conduct as Editor of the Calcutta Journat, *ens the years 1818 to 1823, notwithstanding the repeated iutima• tions which he received from the Most Noble the MarqUis of Hastings in Council, t h at he should be ordered to England without further notice, if lie continued to violate those rules arid regulations, which his Lordship in Council had ordered to be addressed to the reliture of Newspapers, on the 12th of August,/ 1818, when he revised the existing regulations, regarding the controul exercised by the Government over the Newspapers.. " And this Court is of opinion, (lint in withdrawing such 1 licence, the then Governor-General in Council consulted his duty to this Company, and the due protection of those high interests which were Intrusted to his administration." Mr. SAMUEL 1.1.1 XON seconded the amendment. Mr. BUCKINGHAM observed, that the people of India were governed by law, and not ruled by a despotism as had often been erroneously imagined, It was contended by the Leashed Gentleman (Mr. Jackson), that the object of England's policy had been to exclude strangers froin India; but if such had been the case it was a most erroneous policy. In hie (Mr. Buck. ingliern's) opinion, the accession of strangers, of Englishmen, in Itlia, would prove one of the strongest barriers against the . revolt or the rebellion of the Native Powers. The h3el of the King was next relitd ors, but the powers it conferred on the Oovernor-General a ere by no means unconditional ; and the " countenance and protection" which it enjoined to be shavene merely meant a reciprocal interchange of obedience and pro. teCtIOTh Next, with regard to the regulations issuer) for the guidance of the press, he denied that any rules or regula• dons either had or could have the force of law, until - they had first obtained the sanction of the Supreme Court ; which was not the fact in this case. The license of free m arinerhad beets much misunderstood, for as he (Mr. Buckingham) considered, the liceric.ogrenteda special power to do a specific thing, but nut not restricting hint froni doiniisotnething else. If that wetent. the moaning of the licence, there were few persons, except the military, but were at the mercy of the Governor... General: Ti to Learned Gentleman had dilated on the happiness of the 'people of India ; but it they were so very happy, why stop their mouths, and prevent their proclaiming it to the world ?At was needless to say a word on that subject, as every man wlto•was ever in India must know the very reverse. Now, as to the affair of .Nlr. Elliott, perhaps it was indiscreet in him (Mr. Buckingham) to have stated the receipt of a letter as to Mr. Elliott; but that statement originated in indiscretion—a•fail tag often to be found in men of his profession, which would, he was sure, be admitted by many gentlemen behind the•bar, who had been for a great portion of their lives at sea. .3lh Buckingham then entered into a detailed explanation relative to the better of .Emulue, noticed at the last meeting, ot' tins Court; the better of an Old Soldier, and that relative to the alleged libel on the Bishop of Calcutta. With reference to the distribution of the John Bias prospectus, he did charge the Government with having iii every manner circulated it, and that post free. lie charged the Government with giving directions to have the names of all persons writing letters to the press marked with the writer's name, and the fact was beyoria all contradiction. The letter in' which the name of the fiord Bishop of Calcutta was introduced, had been called indecent, but he (Mr. Buckingham) defied any man to saLtbere.waa any thing offensive said of his Lordship.
