PRIVATE TRADE.

Mr. ROCK rose, with extreme reldlance, at that
late him., to say a few words respelling Private
Trade. He wished to.know what steps the Court
had taken, since the Resolution of that Court is
July last ?
The CHAIRMAN observed, that the Court had
taken several steps, but had come to no final der'

Mr. HENCHMAN wished to know, \if these steps
were contrary to the honour of that Court's Re-
solutions. The thing was Q 0 secret; an intercourse
had taken place between the Direaors and Board
of Control. Propositions from the Court to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, had "been stated ii'
Parliament since July. Was it possible that nothing
could be explained to the Court ? He was obliged
'to the Hon. Gentleman, Mr. Rock, who had asked
the question.
The CHAIRMAN thought Mr. HENCHMAN'S
comments made much at random :—certainly some-
thing had been done, but no Order had been given
to India. The Papers should be read. The Di-
reaors had done nothing to be ashamed of.
Lord KINNAIRD deprecated the idea of reading
Papers of such consequence at so late an hour.
Mr. Rock Said, he had brought forward his
question on the purest motives ; surely it was not
too much to ask if the Court meant to at upon a
principle which they had stated to be wrong
Mr. DURANT moved to adjourn.
Lord KINNAIRD explained, and paid great co!U
pliments to Sir W. Pulteney, as well as elegant
eulogiums on Mr. Henchman's ptinted produftion.
Mr. CHISHOLME, wished all the Papers to be laid
upon the Table for the inspedion of the Proprietors.

The CHAIRMAN ,said, he did not wish to keep
the Proprietors in the dark, the Papers should cer.
tainly be ready for inspeaion,
Mr. TWINING said he should forward the objeel
he had in view, agreeably to his own ideas, cer-
tainly not according to the advice of his respeEle)le
friend, Mr. Henchman, with whom on this subjet3
he materially differed. •
Mr. IMPEY contended, that every Proprietor ha'l
a right to inquire into proceedings of a public N.
ture. Lord Kinnaird had formerly lent his naive
to a Paper requiring inforination—Was the Noble
pnecession of any new lights ?--If so, s6l'
would have been but kirk to have communicate
with his 'quondam friends. It should seem` its g`
that side of the Court had lost their General; bur
he trusted that, like Gen,. Arnold of old, he would not
be able to carry any Troops with him. The unani,-,
mity of the Aireetion had in that Court been strongly
dwelt upon. In the House of Commons Mr. pundit;
had positively denied the £lll. He knew there warg
difference, and thole than a.shade: The highest cha'
rafter, Mr. David Scott, had been actually driven
from the Chair, in consequence of having totallf
protested against their proceedings. With the a'
ception of Mr. Tierney, not one member of the Di'.
reclion had suported the Directors. The Chan'
celior of the Exchequer, particular, had con'
fessed, that the necessary fazility to the British
merchants had not been given.
The CHAIRMAN spoke to order—He said, it was
not candid in the Learned Gentleman, after he 110'
been told, that Papers should not be with.held,
sift out information like a Chancery Fishing
The Directors had met with able *supporters ia
Parliament, and he trusted they ever would, while
they acted uprightly.
Mr. 11.,..?cx declared himself perfect ly satisfied
with the Chairman's pledge, that the Papers shou ,
be produced.

COLLEGE AT CALCUTTA.

Lord KINNAIRD said, that he had heard the Di'
redors were framing some orders respeding
College at Calcutta, he should be glad to know o'6
result of their deliberations.
The CHAIRMAN replied, that the doliberatiolls
of the Courr had not yet come to a conclusion.
Mr. HINCHMAN observed, that Lord KinovrA
seemed in every instance to have the whip.hana
information.
The CHAIRMAN hoped that the Hon. Gentleill
would not be jealous, since in general no one
more information than himself.
The Court then adjourned at four o'clock sift(

A few days ago, the two Vessels which fret
on purpose prepared to carry the Transports fr°,4
Cork, sailed from thence with their precious Calle;
for Botany Bay. Much sickness had been eg
rienced among them,. and about fifteeni we until;
stand, have died. Great 'was .sheirn tile,f
by order of Government, in providing' them win,
clean clothes to prevent the spreading of infeo
and medical aid. Sir Henry Hayes was an3°?,g
them, and bore with the misfortune he had brouglie
upon himself with tolerable resignation, until t:,
moment that they were about to sail, and the pilot
boat was taking leave, which is always done Wit ,r)
cheer, wishing a good voyage—then being tiro
deck, he butst into tears, and ran down befog
ease the pangs of his adversity.
Several Prisoners having, under the late Rus.d so
Government, been sent to Siberia, under netit.iel
names, the Emperor, who wishes to. restore °leo,
to liberty, has sent for Coant PAHLEN to Pei! fro
burgh , to give more particular information With
spat to the banishment of these persons.
