It has been notified by the French Minister for Foreign Affairs to his Majesty's Ambassador at Paris, that the French Government, having been infortned that doubts existed on the subject of the Blockade of the Ports of the Regency of Algiers, by the naval forces of his Most Christian Majesty, think it right to declare, that that Rlockade (notified in the Gazette of July 2, 1827), has not been discontinued ; and that it extends to the four Ports of Bona, Bugia, Algiers, and Oran.

The county meetings go on without interruption, and not entirely, we hope and trust, without the chance of producing some beneficial consequences, inasmuch as a prayer for rigid economy and re trenchment enters for something into the proceed ings of them all. Suffolk has met, and Sir Thomas Gooch has exhibited his independent spirit, by loud complaints of the contraction of the currency —the fall of prices (involving as it must that of rents, Sir Thomas,)—the rise of debts and taxes — and the universality of the public distress, &c. It is easy to see where the shoe pinches the worthy Baronet, and hard enough it must pinch Sir Thomas Gooch, before he, of all loyal •life-and-fortune men, would give tongue after this bold, nay mutinous fashion, against any measures of any existing Govern ment. The petition to Parliament which was proposed by Sir Wm. Parker, and supported, as above, by Sir Thomas Gooch, dwells upon the " cruel fluctuations of the currency," which have rendered the circu lating medium " inadequate to the wants" of the country,—on the fallacious protection which appears to guard the interests of British agriculture,—on the taxes upon beer and malt,—and, filially, on the par tial distribution of the coal tax. The prayer of the petition disagrees, however, with the sentiments of Sir Thomas Gooch, because it solicits a greater " expansion" of the currency, with which the worthy Baronet declares that it is now too late to meddle; but they are unanimous as to the necessity of giving " protection" to agriculture. What protection, then, would the gentlemen of Suffolk require ? Do they flatter themselves that the price of corn could, by any effort of human legislation, be kept up to one uniform standard through all changes of the sea sons, and without a total destruction of our com merce ? And if the price be not unchangeable as well as the seasons, how are farmers to be secured against loss, and landlords from occasional incon venience ? As for taxes, we never heard that Sir Thomas Gooch had much compunction about agree ing to as many as the Minister thought fit to pro pose, or that he ever shrunk back with the least symptom of alarm from a loan of ever such magni tude; or that he was an advocate for any species of retrenchment until it had become a question whe ther the country gentlemen or the Minis:ers should retrench, in which case, with their usual courtesy, the loyal squires are anxious to give precedence to his Majesty's Government. We, too, join in the earnest demand upon Ministers for a real, reso lute, and searching reform of the expenditure. The appendages of the Court are intolerably costly ;—the public officers are too largely paid ; the diplomatic department is a gulf of wasteful ness. For the army and navy there is, on one ground, less motive to be constitutionally jealous — they contain a less rank end seductive field for un worthy patromige than is afforded by the civil ser vice of the state. But with respect to the army we must observe, that an enormous portion of its charge on the revenue goes to the maintenance of a useless, though dazzling, humbug—a ridiculous num ber of Cuirassier, Hussar, Lancer, &c. regiments, kept up at an expence which is absolutely frightful, and to no military end whatever, save the supply of a glittering lounge through the United Kingdom for some five or six hundred bedizened and bewhiskered men of fashion, who form the corps of officers, or staff, of that huge and inefficient skeleton, called the " British cavalry," in time of peace, is surely not an object in any manner conducive to the na tional security, nor to be justified, as the establish ment of marching regiments may be, by an ac knowledged aptitude to every exigency of the public interests as affected by the unfriendly policy of foreign states towards England. It has been said that a timely reform of any Government is the surest guarantee against sweeping revolution. We believe that the best and only safeguard against a convul sion in our system of finance is to be found in an early adoption of the most honest and rigorous re trenchment. A meeting of the Magistrater, &c., of Renfrewshire, in Scotland, has been held, and the usual topics connected with the creed of universal distress, unremuserating prices, and currency, have been enlarged on in the resolutions of the parties there assembled.— Times. In relation to the subject which, in our Paper of yesterday, created so much attention in the public, we must first say that it is most unfortunate when people of unpopular characters are in that rank Of life that they can, of necessity, obtrude themselves where they please, and drop in upon those whoin they may choose as associates at will. It is indeed unfor tunate for the persons who are thus distinguished ; for it cannot be but that the potent guest will impart to his friends a portion of the peculiar regard which adheres to himself; and that aptitude which may unfortunately exist to believe ill of him, will of course extend itself to those with whom he establishes relations, perhaps only of ordi nary civility. A more intimate knowledge of the very painful transaction to which we alluded yesterday, has in duced us to judge that such is the case in that very melan choly concern. But how miserable, if the lady (as we now conscientiously believe) be innocent, her lord con vinced of her innocence, aid only unable to bear up, because the world unjustly thought he put rip with that injury which it would have been base in him to suffer tamely, but which he himself knew he had never sus tamed ! And all this, because one man is what he is ! It was a younger member of the family of the lady who went down to Hampton-court to announce the melancholy event which had taken place ; and in a letter which he wrote from thence, when there could be no idea of the suspicions which were about to be excited on the subject of the Coroner's Inquest, lie wrote to an honoured relative is London, to describe the effect of his distressing news upon the widowed sufferer and her family. "It is her only consolation," says he " that the last letter she ever received from her husband" (that which was sent down by Spry, the servant, by the coach),—" the letter which he wrote when in con templation of the rash act, was the most tender and affectionate she ever received from him in her life." This is the letter which we said ought to have been produced at the inquest ; and which there is in truth no difficulty in producing. With respect to the inquest itself, we still say that, in a matter of such importance, a man of the experience of Mr. Gell ought not to have hurried it over so hastily. But we are informed that he had five inquests to hold on the same day, and that the family most anxiously desired to have this inquiry opened again, if it were possible. But the Coroner has stated to them that lie saw no reason for such a step, and that he positively had not the power. 'We are assured also, in contradiction to the statement in the account sent to us for publication, that the Jury did not meet till ten. It was late before we received these several explanations, and we shall, of course, have occasion to recur to the melancholy subject again to morrow, we sincerely trust for the last time.—lbid. The conduct of the Times, in alluding yesterday to an unfortunate event, is of so atrocious a charac ter that we can scarce trust ourselves to speak of it with moderation. The allusions, however, are too pointed to be misunderstood or passed over in silence. We happen to be in possession of all the facts, and know the source of the vile calumny which has preyed upon sensitive feelings and declining health, and ended so fatally. But our lips are sealed for the present. We may venture this much, however, and we state it with deep sorrow, that the author of the calumny—the original author—the inventor and the propagator—is a woman—a lady of rank, whose own frailties should have restrained her from poisoning a l ess callous mind, and for no other reason than the simple one that the object of her spleen and fiendish malignity was a near relative. As far as another party is concerned we court the fullest inquiry, and join the Times in demand ing another investigation. But the Times is evidently ignorant of the fact, which certainly we have no wish to expose, except from necessity. If, however, the duty should be imposed en us, we will not shrink from it, even though the wife of a Cabinet Minister should be the victim. —Morning Journal. We cannot refrain from calling the attention of our readers to the sentiments uttered by Mr. Baring and Mr. Hart Davis in the Commons on Monday night. The former gentleman was evidently placed in a very painful situation, and almost confessed that he had been compelled to give evidence in a bad ease, in defence of a system he had again and again condemned, and in the teeth of facts which as a man of sense and honour he knew to be as in dubitable as the light of heaven. There is but one reason which can, even by his friends, be assigned for his conduct, and of which we are quite disposed to give him the full benefit. He was requested to lend his assistance to the Government, and he consented. For instance, he was required to repu diate his former arguments, deny his own statements, prune down his recorded opinions, and veil the truth to the fullest extent of his courage and his liberality. And all this, the generous Mr. Baring ! —the proud London merchant !—the instructor of Cabinets, and the representative of liberal senti ments ! most courteously condescended to do, and did do, at the expence of his consistency and the hazard of his health. Well ! these are strange times, and the statesmen of the day are far, very far (we hope this is no libel), from being infallible! Th.:, distress is not so severe nor so general as is repre sented, says Mr. Baring. The measures of Parlia ment cannot have produced the distress that exists, says Mr. Baring, for the Members of Parlia ment are all sapient, cautious, clear-headed, and intelligent men ! Oh, Lord ! if this be not irony, it is something worse. If this be not satirical, it is the gravest libel on the understandings of the people ma of doors which it has yet been our misfortune to peruse. How hard run must the Honourable Gen tleman have been for an argument when he resorted to this ! It is true that all the Members of Parlia ment, from Mr. Dawson upwards, Mr. Baring side ways, Mr. Peel crossways, and Sir Thomas Leth bridge always, may be patterns of purity, ability, and consistency. But what has this to do with the question ? Are not the painful facts before our eyes ? Does not misery confront us wherever we go ? Do not the sounds of distress ring in our ears when we lie down at night and when we rise up in the morning ? Is there a single spot, like " A sunny island in a stormy sea," to which Mr. Baring can point and say—" That place is prosperous—these men are thriving—this trade is flourishing—these labourers are well :paid, or these artisans one degree removed from ab ject pauperism ?" If there be such a favoured spot we should be obliged if Mr. Baring would point it out. There may be prosperity on the Stock Exchange—there may be prosperity in Apsley house—Mr. Peel may experience no hunger —Mr. Baring himself may roll in affluence— some twenty thousand pensioners may feel happy and contented, and be conscious of no pangs engendered by the reflection that they revel in luxuries at the cost of the bones and sinews of a starving population—all this may be true—but ungracious statement to serve a political purpose, and to give a colour to that " moderation"—to that feverish desire of " moderation"—which Mr. Peel is so anxious to impress upon all the intelligent and independent members of the House. But we leave Mr. Baring to his reflections, and shall treasure up this speech for future occasions. Come we now to Mr. Hart Davis. This gentleman stated also that trade in general was far from being so disastrous as has been represented. 'Why so ? The Honourable Member speaking, as he said, from practical know ledge, affirmed that the woollen trade is in a tolerable and improved condition ! We ask him no questions here about the Spanish wool trade, but we merely require him to state candidly and fairly whether the mercantile' establishment with which he has some connexion will indorse his statement, or verify his facts so far as they are concerned ? The house in question is one of the most eminent in the com mercial world—its character stands deservedly high, its wealth is unbounded, and its credit of course doubted. But we ask him to state how much this house has lost or gained on its transactions in wool for the last few years ? This is a fair question, and it. bears directly on his argument. If he will ven ture to affirm, in his place in Parliament, that the house in question has made one single penny since 1826, we shall then repose confidence on his state ment. But till he condescends to do this we must entertain our own opinion as to his veracity, and the object he had in view by palming so gross a fiction on the Commons of England. We are ac quainted with the whole facts, and we are quite sure Mr. Hart Davis will not tempt us further. But such are the facts brought to console Mr. Peel, and such the representatives of the people! It is no wonder that men of all ranks now cry for a speedy reform.—Morning Journal. We have no foreign intelligence to communicate ; but assuredly if we had, every thing would yield in interest to the excitement caused by the self-murder of Lord Graves. The town rings with the story of his wrongs, and the alleged author of them, it is said, is no where to be found ! That every thing connected with the death of this Nobleman wears a most mysterious—nay a suspicious—appearance, every one allows. Why were there only three witnesses examined? Why was the inquest held before the body of him, who only a few hours previously had transacted the business of the country, with his usual discretion and good sense, was cold? Why were the jurymen taken out of their beds to sit on the yet warm remains of him, who bad on the preceding day been equally hearty and sane as themselves ? Why were all re porters excluded from hearing the evidence ? and, finally, why should not all the circumstances which led to the melancholy catastrophe have been inquired into ? The whole subject is full of suspicion, and, as we have already observed, the town rings with surmises respecting the causes of it. To enlarge upon it would be useless. The feeling of every honourable mind supplies the com ment. If Lord Graves murdered himself, there can be no question that he was insane at the time, however short it might be ; for who, that had possession of his senses, would not have rather aimed the blow at the original cause of his sorrows than at. himself? Man or wife— stranger or alleged friend—there ought to be no medium in these cases. Tooth for a tooth, and eye for an eye— blood for blood—was the ancient law, and it would in many instances be well were it to be put into practice now. Is there not to be another inquest? Is the country to be overrun with monsters in human shape ?—Morning Advertiser. A Select Committee to inquire into the present State of the Affairs of the East India Company, and to inquire into the State of Trade between Great Britain and the East Indies and China, was moved for last night in both Houses—in the Lords, by Lord Ellenborough, and in the Commons by Mr. Peel. Ministers would appear to have their opinions yet to seek respecting India. They do not say to Parliament, impressed with the importance of the question, and aware of the extent of our re sponsibility, we have laboured to make ourselves thoroughly acquainted with the state of India, in order to be able to discharge adequately the duties which the present period imposes on us, and we are prepared to lay before Parliament an outline of the measures which we have it in contemplation to re commend, and at the same time ready to consent to such inquiry as Parliament may deem it necessary to institute, in order to be able to form a correct judgment respecting such measures. Instead of this, or some similar course, Ministers, to escape the responsibility of governing have, as usual, abandoned their functions to Parliament. Here we are, they say, ready to procure for you all the in formation necessary to decide respecting India, and whatever measures you choose to recommend, we will sanction them. Constituted as Parliament is, per haps the course recommended by Ministers has, upon the whole, its advantages; though the necessity of carrying on the Government by Parliamentary Com mittees, says little for the working of our Political System. " This Committee, Sir," said Mr. Peel, "is not proposed for the ptepose of ratifying any engagement entered into between the Government and the East India Company; no such engagement, open or secret, expressed or implied, exists—(Hear, hear, hear)—nor is this Committee proposed for the purpose of sanctioning any premeditated determina tion en the part of Government ; no such determi tistion has been formed.—(Hear, hear.) But, hav ing stated that no such engagement has been entered into on the part of Government, I feel myself enti tled, on that very account, to impress on the House the extreme importance of the measure before them. and to implore them to consider that they must have other objects in view than the merely deter mining in what manner British commerce is to be carried into that part of the globe."—(Hear, hear.) The gentlemen, whose minds were like blank paper with respect to the commercial policy of the Co bony, only asked for time to acquire the information necessary to inform their judgment; they did not seek to devolve on others the responsibility of re commending measures connected with the business of their department. The subject of the letter to Sir John Malcolm was introduced by Lord Dur ham, and Lord Ellenborough's conduct was de fended by the Duke of Wellington. Without offering any op i n i on as to t h e sty l e o f t h e letter, arid admitting that expressions in it are open to rather an unfavourable construction, by those particularly who form their judgments of India from this coun try, we are still of opinion that Ministers are right in the main. In a country like India, not self-go. versed, but subjected to a handful of strangers, there Is not the controul on Judges which exists in a country like this, where they are amenable to public opinion, and to the Legislature. The India Com pany and Board of Controul supply the place of Parliament and public opinion with respect to the Judges. The power that holds the sword in India, and which is responsible for the tranquillity of the country, must necessarily have the controul of the Judges, subject, no doubt, in the exercise of that controul, to the review of the supreme power at home. Were Judges not to be checked in India by those who are the only guardians and representatives the people of India possess, the most serious con- sequences would often ensue. vi'e say nothing of the Local Judges, who not unfrequently are fund guilty of corruption, and over whom the Company find it necessary, for the sake of the natives, to hold a tight hand ; but there arc now a few ex amples of the Supreme Courts, acting on a well known maxim that it is the part of a good Judge to seize every occasion for extending his jurisdiction, placing the Government in the greatest danger. With - out knowing any thing of India, the customs, habits, and character of the people, a lawyer, on arriving in the character of a Judge in India, boldly applies the rules of English law to a state of circumstances to which they are often utterly inapplicable. Thus, for instance, in a Minute, No. 10, of the Appendix to the Memoirs of Sir Thos. Munro, Nye have a striking example of a mischievous blunder of the Su preme Court of Madras, originating in the Chief Justice, concerning grants of jagheers by Indian Princes to be identical with grants of Crown lands in England, and thus confounding a temporary grant of revenue with a grant of property in land.— Though the Court possessed only jurisdiction over such natives as are inhabitants of Madras and its limits, because the defendant had once been in Ma dras, the Coutt boldly arrogated to itself the right of its process to act upon the property anywhere within the Company's territories. In this way the Judges, by stripping the East India Company of its land revenue, might have overturned the Com pany's Government. Sir Thomas Munro observes, " the Supreme Court are, by their Charter, ex pressly prohibited from taking cognizance of any matters relating to the public revenue; but in the present instance they get over this difficulty by say ing that the revenue of the jagheer having been as signed to Asim Khan, was no longer revenue, but private property, subject to the same laws which regulate private inheritance. If this doctrine were admitted, it would lead to the most danger ous consequences; for it would enable the Court to entertain suits against the Company in all cases of jagheer, enaum, or other grants of public revenue, wherever situated, on the plea, that having been granted, it is no longer public revenue. As all the native religious establishments and municipal ser vants throughout the country are maintained by grants of land, the Supreme Court might gradually extend their jurisdiction over them, destroy their respect for the authority of Government, and throw the affairs of the country in►o confusion. Were the Court once to begin to receive suits respecting lands assigned for the maintenance of public ser vants, it would be impossible for Government to realize the revenue, or to maintain good order in the country. It may be said that the Court is not likely to interfere in such matters ; but of this we can have no assurance at present; for, but a few years ago, its interference in the jagheer of Kullum Oolla Khan, about 100 miles from the limits of its jurisdiction, was regarded as equally improbable. There will never be wanting men whose interest it will be to bring into Court, at all hazards, the jag beers and enaums allotted to the civil and religious establishments of the country ; and as the Court will judge for itself, in determining whether these lands do or do not come under the description of what is meant as revenue by the Charter, I own that I see no hope, after what has passed, of their being regarded as any thing else than mere private property. The only effectual way in which the Government would he secured against the mis chievous effects of the Courts extending their inter ference to public revenue, assigned in the form of services and charity for the maintenance of various establishments, would be by restraining the Court from taking cognizance of any suit regarding any land whatever, situated beyond the limits of its jurisdic tion." Lord Melville observed truly, that "it was very well to talk about the independence of the Judges in India; but it was not an independence in truth. They must have that sort of discretion not to put the country into danger by exercising the power which belonged to their Courts." "It had hap pened to him (added his Lordship) more than once to have to advise his Majesty to recall a Judge from India. He had not the slightest doubt that on such occasions he had expressed himself in a manner si milar to the sentiments of his Noble Friend." Sir Thomas Munro, speaking of the use made of habeas corpus at Madras, observes that " the authority of the Nabob over his family and dependents has been impaired by political events, and still more by the interference of the officers of the Court. Daughters of Walajah (the Nabob) have turned prostitutes, and been released from the custody of their husbands and the Nabob by habeas corpus. Other women of rank have been encouraged by their example and their impunity to follow the same courses. The dis grace of these women is felt not only by their own families, but by every Mussulman here as a degra dation of their caste. The Mussulman population of Triphiam, always distressed and dissatisfied since the assumption of the Carnatic, has had its discon tent increased by those transactions." The contest with the Bombay Court was occasioned by a habeas corpus directed to issue concerning a Zemindar of in fluence and property, which the Government stopped. In every country there must be a supreme power. In this country the supreme power is Parliament; in India it is the Government; and whenever the Government and the Judges come into collision, the latter must give way. From what we have said as to the necessity for controuling the Judges in India, it does not follow that we approve of the mode of appointing Judges in the Provinces. Mr. Stuart alluded to a censure passed by Sir John Leach on a local India Court ; but the liberating them from the controul of Government would tend very little to the improvement of these Courts. The names of the Committee will be found in our Report. Mr. Weidman drew some very gloomy inferences re specting the state of the country from our exports and imports. But we have not space now to enter on this subject.—Morning Chronicle. LENT SPRING ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT.

Tle Order of the Day being called on by the Clerk of the Houee, Lard LLLENBOROUGH said, in rising to move for the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the state of the East India Company, and the trade between Great Britain, the East Indies, and China, I can assure yotit Lordships that his Majesty's Government enter into the subject free from previous engagements ; they have nothing to coneetd. My Lords, so far from wishing to conceal any thing, there has been already printed by or der of his Majesty's Government every paper of importance relative to this question. If it shall tarn out that fur ther Information is necessary, it shall he given. All that is desired by his Majesty's Government is, that Par liament and the country should have every opportunity afforded of forming the fairest judgment upon this most important subject. My Levis, in consequence of the paper: which will be so soon in the posseesion of your Lordships, it is nnnesemary ba draw your at tention to those results which will most naturally present themselves to your mind when yen consider those papers with the attention which I know you will do, and also which they deserve. For my own part, it is a subject of great satisfaction to ktteew that the publi cation of those papers, and also the papers which were presented to the House by his Majesty's command last Session, will tend to dissipate many of the erroneous no tions that have been industriously circulated. What, my Lords, his Majesty's Government desire is, that your Lordships and the country should see the real troth of this question.of the acts of the Legislature, of t It isnotforyour Lordskips, informed real as you are state of the finance of India, and the general hearing of the East India Company; it is not for your Lordships that I wish to point out fallacies most industriously circulated relative to the finances derived by the East India Company, but it is for the information of the public. In the 16 years that have elapsed since the commencement of the present charter, in point of fact, the territorial finance of India derived from the commercial profits of the Company, has been as great as that derived from the dividends on East India stock. Your Lordships know that in the papers of last Sessions, it was stated that the quantity of tea consumed in this country has greatly increased. Under the pre - sent Charter, the consumption of tea in this country is equal to that of the whole continent of Europa, exclusive of Russia. Your Lordships are aware, that previous to the production of the papers which were brought forward last Session, information had been, obtain ed from his Majesty's Consuls in different parts of the country as to the prices of different teas. In the present case, in order to enable Parliament to form a complete judg ment, directions had been sent by his Majesty's Govern ment to his Consuls abroad, to make enquiries of the like nature. Every precaution therefore had been taken to prevent the possibility of any unfair dealing. It would be matter of great satisfaction to me if I could inform your Lordships that the finance* of India were fa vourable. That I cannot say. But when your Lord ships take into consideration the extensive conquests made by the Company, followed by expensive wars—when you consider that the charter which was last granted to the East India Company was not more extended than that which they formerly possessed, your Lordship" will not, I am persuaded, be surprised that the revenues of this Company 'Wald not bear the same proportion as in former times. My Lords, I should certainly not be dealing fairly with the House, did I not admit there had been much to blame in the management of these matters in India. Nobody feels that more than the Directors. Indeed, it is impossible for any per sons to have used snore exertions than they have done to the removal of sash evils.--(Hmr.)—My Lords, I deprecate any attempt in the measures intended to be adopted of increasing the revenues of the Company by throwing additional bardene upon the people. But it is only by diminishing the increased charge. of collecting that revenue, it is only by effecting all such reductions that may be made without injury, and bringing forward plea sures with caution and tenderness that 1 look forward to the reinstatement of that revenue—an event which it would be gratifying to toe, and I have no doubt to the House, to observe. Your Lordships are aware that since the com mencement of the present charter, very great alterations hare been effected by the Parliament in the regulations that govern trade between this country and India. Some of those regulations emanated from the Noble Marquis (Lansdowne) on the opposite side, who brought the matter before the House some years since. The duty on tea has been materially increased ; the East India Com pany bare gone as far as they poesibly could; the duty upon woollen and other articles of manufacture, which was at five per cent. has been reduced to 24. That on cotton has been reduced to 14. The export duties, which were originally 5 per cent., have been reduced to 24 ; so that your Lordships will see the attention of Government has been directed to afford every additional facility to the trade of that country. The first measure that is intended to be adopted will be that of relieving from all restriction whatever the internal trade of that country. In consider ing this subject and the papers now upon the table, you will see that the first question for Parliament to consider is this, whether it be proper to conduct the Government of India without any assistance direct or indirect, from the East India Company. And the next question will be, if you consider that it should be conducted without the assistance of the Company, what other measures should be adopted, for that purpose. lam quite satisfied, my Lorde, that it is unnecessary for me to lay before you the many im portant political considerations that are involved in this commercial question. I stn quite satisfied, any Lords, that in considering in detail this important subject, you will proceed with caution and deliberation.— And, my Lords, I must say, that on the part of his Majesty's Government every information will be given to your Lordships that possibly can be given. I am suite satisfied that there will be no disposition on the part of your Lordships to sacrifice for seeming present advan tage, the interests of the people of England. My Lords I shall sit down by moving that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the affairs of the East India Company, and the trade between this country and China. —(Hear, hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR was proceeding to put the question, when— The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he did not rise to offer the slightest opposition to the motion %Oriels the Noble Lord had brought forward ; en the contrary, it met with his sanction. He was glad to see so early an opportunity taken of having that important subject in vestigated. Having said this, he must be at the same time allowed to add, that upon many of the points con nected with the subject the Noble Lord appeared in a very great degree to have formed his opinion. Their Lordships were called upon to discharge one of the most important duties that was ever brought before Parliament : it was a subject of great difficulty, and involved the hap piness of millions of people whom they had never seen, nor would ever see. But, although those millions of human beings were beyond their ken, they were within the reach of their power. He was assured that every Noble Lord would approach that momentous e s d w q t u hit es aht ti tt o ihi n ee with a perfectly unbiassed mind, freed from those con siderations of interests, if they should be believed to inter fere with that great object, the happiness of so many mil lionstr: o u ft interests o op I s. f — t h ( e & is ea r . u ) u — t r ß y wt ere was interwoven a happiness of the Indian population. Ile would again re peat that the one great object which their Lordships should keep in view ought to be the happiness of so many mil lions of human beings. It would be no difficult task to show that the happiness of that people was perfectly con sistent with the best interests of this country. The cha racter of that distant people might be raised by giving to them habits unknown to them before; their characters might be raised by giving to them virtues to which hither to they have been strangers; their character might be raised by giving them the advantages and benefits of laws 1 and government. Circumstances had probably arisen to prevent the benefits which might have been conferred, but which, not being bestowed, left this country much to answer for.—(hear, hear.) He regretted to hear from the Noble Lord opposite a confirmation of what had been before stated, of tke inability of India to provide fur its own Government and expenditure. H. would not troulde the House with any further remark then on the suhj ct, c-c-oling, as he did, with the Fatties: this theervu•iuu, 3:d. 4...-I. 4. 4. -I. Is. 365- -N. —B. .9. —5- 571. b. 425.
