ROMILLY objected to the words " on any subject whatsoever," os extending to all public lectures on anatomy, astronomy, or other scientific subjects - .. Sir .1. SIACK.INTOSH proposed to substitute the words on any subject connected.with the Government and Con stitution of the Realm." Mr - , Serjeant BEST said, that these words hail been in the former Bill. He objected to striking wit the words as , they stood; any : exceptions might be made in favour of particular ket tires. Sir 5. ROMILLY said, that there would be no end to the exceptions which -Would be necessary if the words were al lowed to stand. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that nothing could be more nnlikely than that this Act should be used for the purpose. of di:writing lectures on scientific subjects, or any others uncon nected with political subjects. Sir M. W. RII)LEY objected to the clause as it stood. 'i't question was then put, and the clause agreed to as it striod. . - • • k :sir JAMES MACKINTOSH objected to the clause except -I'l4 Gre;hani College (ruin the necessity of a license, as not hoing'stifficiently general. He propoSed4he exception of the Professors of the East India College.. He wished to add to the clause words to exempt " any Lectures established by Royal Charter or Act of Parliament, for the purposei of learning, science, and the arts." Sir J. C. HIPPISLEY proposed an Amendment to that of Sir Maelsinto,h, fur the purpose of including the Royal In stitution, on account of the respectahility of that Institution. He afterwards withdrew it, on the explanation that all incor porated or chartered Institutions were inelutled. Sir James Mackintosh's Amendment was .ultimately ne gatived. The lion. and Learned Gentleman then said, be really felt a(ham,d of the clause which specifically alluded to the Spenecans. The ArI'ORNEY-GENERAL assured the Honourable and Learned Gentleman, that. if he knew - as much, as he (lid of these wretched lunatics, tie would forego his objection. They had many admirers, anal not a few'proselytes, and were giving . lectures threeti,ts..s a week, inculcating the destruCtion of sal iiroperiy. • . • A few verbal" alterations were agreed to in some of the sub seT:ent clauses.

Sir Al. W. MULES gave notice that he should move on Ameatinent to the Preamble in the future stage of the Bill, as He could not allow such a Preamble to stand on the Statute hook. The Amendments being agreed to, the Report was ordered to he received this day. Mr. U.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM A FOREIGN GENTLE- MAN AT CALCUTTA, DA? Et) SUPT. 26, 1816. • " All is going on here prosperously for tire / British interests : as to continued traoquillity, it is not to ensured in the present state 'of India. To maintain Peace here, is the surest and easiest may to please you in London ; but you are apt to forget that there ate two parties to all such bar gains : nothing can be more delusive than the dream of a certain quiet,, or of essential military reductions, while n formidable enemy exists, pro- . fessedly at war with you. The principle of the PiOdarree Association is existence by plunder :• it is, therefore, in declared hostility to every other power, but it is most specially so against that of the Uritish East India Company; because the Pindarrees cannot plunder ScindiAll and Ilul kar, give them a refuge in their dominion!, and there ate no other . territories that they can ravage but yours, or those of your allies, wham you are pledged to protect. When you advise your Governors here to be careful to preselve peace, they are entitled to ash you (I have not my self the conception) how this is to be secured,With a ,body united for the avowed purpose of laying waste your possessions ; who mark their inroads with the most horrible barbarities, and who never received from you the slightest provocation forme!' atrocities. I was not long here, before I &tn ./Anded what this, must come to; nothing could a ppear more certain, than that an association of such a sort in India, where there is no longer re gular employment for the numbers who are desi rous to addict ,themselves 'to the military pro fession, most increase rapidly, if not crushed, or checked at least, in their outset, or progress,— Yott do not seem to give-liberty to your Governors here to undertake their extinction ; and the re-; *nit has, and will, I fear, justify such,presages. their last.inroad, their several columns were rated by Sir Thomas flislop, in his public report, at 23,000 horse; all their retreats were, at the same time, left well guarded by infantry and artillery. ' Fhey carried off gold, silver, and jewels, to the value of a million sterling—to whet their appetite to new enterprises. Admirably served by spies, they learn all the stations of . your t r oop s ; t h ey pa..,3 wide of them ; conttnimicatioos are 'cot off ; tire work of rapine is done, aud the perpetrators have got - away and returned hack,. before your tin tad have Ltuyeertain notice of them.

Some of your European pacificators (now that Peatee, to L e t, i s ° nee mote, for time, the fancy wool% yoi l ), should vow nut hither, to repreettt to these gentry: how unkind and unjust it is in thorn, _not to le.vte you completely at your ease in Asia►tic occupation and dominion: such an . expostulation -would, I dare say, have a wonderful effect on these Indian men of war, Iu the mean time you will do well, in my opinion, us a looker on, and near ob server,' to take care •not to let your provinces be ravaged and despoiled, if you can help it. If yout Governors may not undertake all their judgment "would deem necessary or prudent, they-are unde r the obligation of attending carefulli to do all that is left to the charge of their discretion."

The 100th Regiment has been ordered to this Co►tutry from New Bruns►vick, and on its arrival is expected to be reduced.' *'- Orders have been given for the Depot 'troops and Companies of the under-mentioned Itegi , mews, which have been ordered home'from India, being immediately discontinued, viz. Ligbt Dragoons, 19th Foot, sGth --, 2d Battalion, 7gli --, 80th --, 2460) This last arrangement ulune will be a saving to th e Connt►y of 8000/. At least with regard to the Reduction of the Military Force, Ministers seem must active in meeting tile wishes of Public. From three Dutch Mails, which arrived this morning, we select the following intelligence : " Batissets, FEB. 24.---The French Minister of War has agaio written to the Magistrates in the Department of the North, that the recruiting for• the Standing Army must , begin again, and that care Must be taken'to replace all the old mili tary, whose conduct gives no ground for com plaints. ic The King," says the Minister," is re-' solved !hat France shall have a good army, cape hie of making it respected, since a Monarchy which 'is not constantly protected by a strong and re spectable force iy akiays exposed to the greatest dangers." These measures prove that tranquillity and good order become.more mid more confirmed and the old solgers, who a year ago were ex tremely averse iron) service, now in general desire to be engaged. " They write from Cambray, that the Duke of Wellington is expected in the course of a month from Paris. Now that a part of the Allied troops are to leave Vrance, the strictest orders have been again'given for an exact observance of discipline. It has been observed, that the Russian troops have the most easily accommodated themselves to the climate and manners ofFrance. 4 ' FRB. coutingent 0f'21,000 British troops, one-fiftit of which are cavalry, remain with the ArMy of Occupation ; but' in order to lessen the expence as much us possible, a very large proportion of Staff and superior Officers is recalled. " Aetonnts say tltat the Brit'3ll Army in France has showu the greatest disgust at the commotions which have lately taken place in England. • " We learn front Sedan, that above 1300 Prus sian troops are gone home. The corps which are to leave France must be all yone by the 10th of April. The report that the Prussians would eva cuate Charleville is wholly unfounded. ' 4l COPENWAGP.N, FLD. 1.5. English Papers have repotted, that a treaty of commerce has been concludel between Mintdark and the United States Of America. This' is not the case. Pro posals have been indeed made-on the subject, but uo negociation has been entered upon " AMSTERDAM, MARCH 3.—The rapers are of aceoutitb of the terrible effects or the thunder m lil the night of the I.sth of February, extended all through Holland, and far into Ger many. A great many steeples were struck, and some entirely burnt down; Great distress is fear ed from the continued rise of the waters in our rivers." The character of the British Nation, it seems, stands so low in the estimation of those who ar rogate to themselves the title of British Patriots, that they think it necessary to vindicate it from " the charge of inhumanity towards a Fallen Man," videlicet, towards NAPOLBON BUONAPARTE ! A notice of a Motion for Palters to thii effect has been given in the House of Peers by Lord-Hot.- LAND, the ancient Eulogist of " that Great Prince," and recent Calumniator of the House of Bo_ua . - BON, against whose head he insinuated, that he oppressed France with Taxes under pretence of paying the Contributions, and having raised the money, applied it to other uses. And so, it is to a high sensitiveness for British honour and hu manity that we owe this Motion, which is in itself a slander by implication on both. 'lt is not the result of old attachments ; of feverish discontent at the oblivion into which the Idol of the Faction has sunk ; of auger, because the Ex-Emperor is not . permitted to correspond freely with his friends, and, distant and hopeless though be be, rivet together the grand chain of Jacobinism, of which the scattered links arc to be found in every Country of the Universe, Net totidvm junctus nee beau disiunctus, Any effort to revive an interest in 14UONAPARTS must fail. ,The World retains nothing but the remembrance of his quackery and his crimes, and Wisdom (were her whispers heard.by Party Alen) dictates . that 'the trodden firebrand should be al lowed to smoulder'innocnously to extinction in its own smoke and ashes, and not be fastened to ,a Fox's Tail, and sent burning thrOugh the pros perous fields of now peaceful nations. • Tfie Westminster Worthies meet at the Crown and Anchor this evening, to prepare for the Show in E'nlace.y,ud on Thursday, srrange the speeches, and mete out the style of the orations and lan guage of the Resolutions within the circum scribed limits which ti►e law now allows. The execution of Cashman, the rioter, stands ordeicd for to-morrow morning. - The Anti-Veto Agitators, whb are at present keeping up the tall of pclpular contention in Ire land, are generally marked men, whose objects can no more be misconceived than those of our Spa fields Demagogues. Most of them are either well known Rebels, or the connexions of Rebels and Traitors. And is it from 'suck persons that im provements of the British Constitution are to emanate.? . From the sons and brothers of men banged for Treason in 1798, and who themselves only narrowly escaped the 8/1111C fate ?. This is, indeed, a nen' narrowly., when the Work-houses send forth Legislators, and the Hulks Reformers. Stich individdals may, indeed, stigmatize all that is respectable in the Roman Catholic Hotly, with the . names of ". Seceders," " Corruptios ists," " Hirelings," anti " Court Sycophants"— our duty is to preserve the Constitution from both parties, but While Ow one is entitled to respect and consideration, the other rs only liable to dis gust and abhorrence. • The examinations of the persons lately appre hended in Glasgow, on a charge of treasonable practices, were finished on Thursday, and the re-. suit was expected to have been known yesterday ; ,but we understand, that there have since been three arrestments, to. which some consequence is attached, and another day will, probably elapse before it he known who are to be finally com \mitted. Of the three persons taken up on Thurs day night, one is the manager of a cotton mill in the Calton, and another is a. teacher, in Bridge tem, of very considerable abilities ; the` third 'is an operative cotton-spinner.—( Edinburgh Courma, March 8.) New York Papers to the Gth nit. arrived yester day. Their contents show on hicreasing spirit of hostility to the introduction 01' British nuinubc- tures. In the Legislature of the State of New York, on the 20th of January, the Committee of Manufactures presented a Re port, which describes the injury American manufactures have sustained, in consequence of the uninterrupted cosztrnunic tion with, all the nations of Europe, which has deluged the country with foreign fabrics'. " It is to be feared (says the Report) that while Great Britain finds her European mailtet eireuinscritted by the neighbouring Powers, she will still continue to throw into. our market such quantities of manu factured gaols as will suspend the operation of our cotton and woollen manufactorieu, if not altogether ruin the maim facturer.l* . Tbe Report goes on to describe the distress which has arisen from unlimited iuiportation, aod recommends the adoption of efficient meaeures of-protection for the Infant manufactories of the United States, particularly woollen and cotton, either by a permanent augmentation of the duties upon certain good*, or by the prohibition of suds woollen and cotton zombi from foreign countrirs as can be .suliplieti itY home manufacture. - .
