SWEDISH TREATY.Mr. PONSONBY wished.to ask the Noble Lord
opposite (Lord Castlereagh) Won Friday, when
the Swedish Treaty was to be taken into considera-
tion, it was his intetition to do any thing rake
than to move in the Committee of Supply, a Grant
sufficient to meet the Om to-he given to Sweden
as a Subsidy.. 00 the answer of the Noble
Lord, the course Which he should feel it his' ditty.
to
_pursue would materially depend.
Laird CASTLEREAGH meant to propose to the
Collialittee a vote of a suet to the imlooot -of the
stipulated Subsidy, and did not intend to go fur-
ther. •

pohisotqay understood the Noble Lord did
not wean to propoge an Achlress to. the Prince
Ltegent, expressing approbation of the Treaty.
Lord CASTLERBAQH apprehended such a course
would he unusual.

Mr. I' SONY 8441, as the Noble Lord did not
mean to move an Address to the Prince Regent,
he wontd now give notice•that it was his inten-
tion to move one, not of congratulation, but of
condemnation. He should make his motion, on
the question for the Speaker's leaving the Chair,
for the House to, go into the committee, or on
the House being resumed.

Mr. CANNING had not teen in the House when
the Right I:lon:Gentleman first rose. lie wished
to know
*whether it was his intention to take the
discussion ()t1 the Speaker's leaving the Chair, or
on the :House being resumed, so ay to avoid Ind-
ting a negative on the supply,
lir. potisoNßY said, he should take the sense of
the House 011 the plt33tioll-0i the Speaker's ieay.
jug the Chair, or On the House being resumed,
he had not yet determined which. Ile thought,
-however, he should feel disposed to take it on the

Muse beinwrestinied. He did ritit Wish to con-
touod the grant of the subsidy with the policy of
the treaty., 'at he thought- _there was a great dif-,
reioice between enabling the GOverunient to
mac good the engagements they had entered in-
to, and approving the treaty by which those en-
gagetieuts woii made.
Mr. CAxtioio had not meant to blame the
course proposed to he takk:n by the 'tight Hon.
Gentleman. He approved of the distinction he
had made between gran tin. the subsidy and sane-
-00:ling the treaty. Lie thought there was a great
difference hetwceu the two caws!
Mr. It. Wnao postponed, the consideration of
the Ordnance Eitimate4 to OVednesday.
Lord CAS-TE.EitnAGII presentird Papers front the

Prince Regent, contining the substance of the

Convention entered into between the Courts of
St. Petei•sburgh ;And Sto,:kbohn eat the 14th Match,
1812, and the Act of itdiesion of his Majesty to
that Convention of the 3d of March, 1813, and a!»
so an account of the stuns already advanced for the.
use of the Swedish troops jowled in Stralsund
since March 1813.

'lnc Innkeeper's Bill was read a second time,
and committed for to-morrow.

On the mot:on of Lord CASTLEIMAGII, the
Order of the day \vas reild, for taking into con-
sideration the remaining 4i3.,eiwintions of the Report
of the CuMmittee no •
INDIA,AFPAT,II3.

The third Resolution was read ; but in conse-
quence of the absence of ,some Gentlemen, who
wished to take part in the debate, the discussion
tui it was postponed, and the Committee passed
on to the fourth Resolution : Thi3, ivith the fifth,
sixth, and z.eventli, were pass.ed, after a few re-
marks from Mr. Cak.:va which • were answered
by Lord CAsTLEitrAort.
The Eighth Resolution Was withdrawn by Lord
CASTLERrAGII, fur the purpose of bringing fos -
ward that which was its Object into a separate Bill.
On the Ninth Resolutio», Mr. CaLtivEY took
occasion to observe, that the Company had been
inthe habit or making a dividend when they had
no profits to divide. their last., lease ex-
Vred, when they had' no surplus revenue to, make
a dividend, they were. in the habit of coming to
Parliament and "stating, their ease, as by their
Charter they were forbid to make- a &vidend
but Out of the surplus of their territorial rave
sites, -after paying their' political and Other e.x.
pences. _ . .

•
Lord CASTIX..g,LiAGti did not litlckrlita:ll their
dividends ‘vere to be paid out of their territorial
revenue, but out of their net proceeds. Those
proceeds were more of a cniutneruial than a politi-
ca! nature, thongh partaking of the character of
both. Though the commerce of India bad not
been very productive, he was not awale that in
any year since the last renewal of their Charter,
their funds bad been insufficient to pay their divi-
dends.

!,Jr. CRESVEY said, the House bad formerly
been in the habit of coming' to l'arlisfuent
the surplus of their territorial tevent';e• not co-
ver the dividends, anl this practice he wished to
see restored.

.
- Lord CASTLEREAGH said, this resolution went
to prevent the territorial revenues of the Corn-
parry being applied to conunercial porposes with-
without the sanction of the Board of Controal,
and thtis supplieda corrective to the evil appre-
hended.
The resolution wns carried. The next resolu-
tion was cat tied without discussion, utter which
it tvns priTC)Sed to return to the third resolution.
AL. BA.ttruo wished the discussion on this re-
Soitt!ion to he postponed to another tiny, on ac-
chant of the absence of his. Right Houoarable
Friend- (Mr. Tieruey) who was kept away by an
accident.

Lord CASTLEREAGH was sorry he could not agree
to this,,but the excessi‘c importance of the sub-
ject, and the busiuesabefore the House, made it
impracticable.
Mr. llaetxo then rose to move an amendment
of the nature of that which his Right
,Honcittrable
Friend had intended to propose. His 'wish was,
that in opening the trade, they should proceed
gradually, so that they might feel their way us
they went. Acting thus, he thought many of the
evils to be apprehended from the sodden opening
of the trade to ludia, might be avoided. That
which he should propose was, that for a certain
period ships sailing from any port in the country
should he confined to'return to the port of Lon-
don. This' he proposed, nut front a wish to. con-
fine the import trade to the port of London, but
from an idea that such a regulatittp, would be of
general utility. He thought it would be the in-
terest of rhe merchants to do that which he wish-
ed them to be forced to do. He wished thew to
be enabled to make the experiment of trtiding to
India, without exposing themselves to all the risks
which those; who were of opinion, their , ideas of
Carrying on a profitable trade Were delusive,
thought they must be exposed to if the present se-.
strictiona were at once removed. If this amend-.
ment were agreed to, the experiment could kie,
made atthe least possible risk, and private mer-
chants could go to India, and ascertain if the trade
were worth carrying on, without being exposed to
that ruin which might await them if, in the first
instance, they were encouraged to form expen-
sive establishments, while the result of the specu-
lation was doubtful. Those who, on the prestimp,.
tion that the India trade would continue to be ear-
riad on as it Intd been the policy of two centuries
to carry it on, bed t'er'med large and expensive
establishments in the port of London, might have
tinie to dispose of their property if this suggestion
were adopted, and thos;:7. who !night otherwise be
rained by the shock, could thus, if tiole worti
given, he let down etsy. He trusted 'the Honse
.would feel that the hest' plait they coald'edopt 1,114.0'
that of pursuing a Middle cour.e., which could
riously injure no cle3s of persons, andl which,
it were only on 'account ()fits conciliattiry nature,.
had a Claim to their approbation. He .eonelorted
by moving an a -mendment, the purport of which
wan l to testi ict the imperts from ludia to the port.
of London for five years. •
Mr. P. GRENPLLL
seconded the amendment. cm
the grond that it wes calculated for the better
seetivite of the reveuee, and because he deemed
u
it exped;cnt that ford:,;oevi should rather be coo-
fined to o= e place Viau twAttere.:l over the country..

Sir J . NEWPoST oppurcit the uwencnent, whlch

if agreed to, would indeed render this an experi-
i Meat of delusion,.as it had been called, entliou iii
the ruia of those who embarked in it. lie °refer-
red tii-proceedings in Ireland in 1797, and front the
opinion then expressed by the merchants of Dub
lin, Co!.lc, Belfast, &c. contended that they were
unanimously of opinion that such a measttre ai
this would be entirely destructive of any benefit
they might expect from opening the trade. It
was said that it would he for the advantage of the
traders of the out-ports to come with their ima
ports hiLondoo----to this he answered, if it were
so, leave to the merchants their own election ;
they will certainly go Where their interest is best
consulted. fie closed his observations by stating,
that in his opinion the 'out-ports had already con-
ceded too much in this arrangement ; and if the
present proposition was acceded to, the nteaaure
would be altogether worthless to them.
Mr. FINLAV reminded the House,
,that all that
was required by the Out-ports, was what America
and other foreign powers already enjoyed without
injury to the Company, and therefore 'it was ab-
surd to argue that apprehensions were entertained
of danger front granting that to our .own Merchants
which was sharad by foreigners.' He denied that
the opening of the trade could be considered as
matter of experiment, and by a reference to they
evidence before the Committee, sheaved that it
was the opinion of the best informed, that so far
from there being any ehinger, the measure ikttuld
be attended by great advantages. Such wititesses
as spoke of peril from this source it in answer
to questions which related to au iinaginary state
of things, and not to the real situation in which
they Would be placed by the [Pleasure before Par-
liament: They talked of immense crowds Living
at liberty to inundate India, while iu fact what
was iieended would limit the nuitiber to a very
few, and bind them in, under strict regulations,
so as to do a way all dread from the cause suppnNed.
He would ask what was the nature of the amend-
ment ? It said, I W:11 allow you to carry on the
trade, but it shall be in a that Ohath make it,
disadvantageous to 'yourself; for no mail could '
cmne to London with his goods to advantage, and
have Ilia vessel to bring round again, for loading.
to an out-port. It was absurd then to talk of a
trade, Wiien front being compelled to return
to one port at a distance front the merchant
and exporter, it must be coniitted to one voyage.
The .proposition was such as to render the
,offer
wig: nary and fallacious. He ridicalert the idea of
thia port of London being injured by the 'tennis-
siou of importation to the out-ports, and, on the
contrary, urged that its interests would be improv-
..
eel in ten years in. consequence Of opening the
:trade. With regard to the re,entle, he asserted
that it: was more correctly collected in the out-
ports than in Loa don ; but at all events the
employed on this head would go to exclude
the out-ports from the imports of rums, sugars, and
all other commodities which paid duty ; an extent
to which he did not believe Hon. Gentlemen
meant to go. He gave the Company credit for
moderation and liberality, insomuch that he did
not think they woold ever exert their cunt rota to
interfere with private metehants proSectiting any
commerce which the Jegislattrre might bestow
,upon them its a right.
Mr. PROTKEROE ironically complimented the
Hon. 111cver on the care he toolcor' the interests
of the. trailers of the out-ports, by wishing to !t-
-alk there for their own welhwe to bring their ilia.'
ports to Loudon ; but as he appeared this night'
as the Representative of at Hight Hon. Gouda•
man who was the warmest advocate for the
Company, the out-ports would apply to him the

Tlineu Dana 6 et Bona ferentes.
In his judgment, Government and the out-ports
bad conceded too much to the Company, which
concessions, bazi they been met by n corre-
sponiEng spirit, • Would long since have led to a
conciliatory settlement.

Mr. 4. TItOIINTON protested .against the mea-
sure altogether, and only supported the amend-
ment as better than the danger and injury of the
original proposition. In answer 'to an Hon.
Mem:ler (Mr.- Finlay), who had asked them to
pia the out-ports on the same footing with An te-
. rica, he said that it was not in the power of the
House to make them neutrals, or confer upon
them neutral rights. The delusion of the out-
ports, in desiring this trade, had justly become
prOcerbial, and when they said they were very
Willing to meet tins ruin, it Only reminded hint of
the childish song to the wagtail of
Dilly, dilly, come and tre killed.
As if the silly bird would agree to the invitation.
He insisted at some length upon this topic, anti
expressed his conviction that the experiment
would lead to the utter loss of those who were so
auxion3 to nuke it. Were their wishes acceded
to, the put-ports would soon be scrambling among
themselves; and clamour, as 'now, would gain the.
ascendancy to ono or other of them. Bat if the
question Was to be determined in this way, by
clamour, they had better giVe tine

. ever improbable, and would be more than com-
pensated by the,great increase of trade.
Mr.G eA::T:entered atiength into the arguments
be had formerly urged in favour of,the East India
Cionpany, and gave his decided negative to the
ilir Tnobtps'oNt_gaVe the Company credit for
Sincerity ;'he did not think that they had asserted
anything is did not believe ;' but Mill he
was not prepared to give up his judgment to theirs
on the .subject of • the effects to be expected from
laying open the India trade to the otttports.----
Although it had. been said that the out;.ports'eottld
not provide themselves with sttch ships as were
necessary for carrying on trade with India ; he,
pn the contrary, maintained that they could build
blip which wOuld be fit to trade with any part
part of the world. Captain Cook chose the ships
with which he circumnavigated the globe from one
of the out-ports, fur they were built ktrWhitby.—
As a prpol that the charge made by the Company
for freight was extravagant, he.quoted part of
the evidence of a Mr. Innes, who had been
examined on the subject of the India trade in
1809,
,and, had said that the charge,made by the
Company for the freight of Indigo was ill/. al
though he could have imported it at the rate of
'2.21.105. *per ton, by hiring a ship on his own
accotint% To show the absurdity of wishing to
have the imports confined to the port of London,
he mentioned a circumstance which had occurred
list year: about the time when a. dearth of corn

quer had'written to Bristol, to inquire at what
rate the merchants there could import rice in their
Own shipping ; but before an answer conic! be re-
turned; thei.o was sent an intimation tinit it was
necessary the rice shoiticl be imported to London,
and lauded at the warehouses of the Company,

goods were landed in this way, they were sold
by aurtion, and that too at the time when
the Company should think proper, *widely was

ther there 'could be any thing more injurious than

been presented to the House, by the persons in
the employ of the Company, in favour of the mo-
nopoly, as 11405 t 417$tird they reminde,l him of a
piJition which bad beett presented in the 15th
century, by certain persaus who had found the
manufacture .of hawsers and cables Very profitable,
:and therefore prayed, "that as they intil lived right

Wbiie mentioning this, he stated it as it carious
bet, .and one: which the Gentleman on the 'liven-
'. envy Bench could not contradict, namely, that
Covernment could not send a single convict to

't‘r. CUTITIS said, that 'it was indeed true,
thit ships of 200 and 300 tons burden, and with
crews of 15 or 16 men, could carry goods from
at tic rates mentioned by the advocates of
the out-ports, hut ships of that size were inade.-
(pate for voyage., to those sets.
Mr. Ito' t: spoke at some length, but in so
lbw a tone, that we could nat follow his 'argil-

dents. • - ,
(~lOURTENAY said, that the supporters of the
./VmendMent vi,ere not the triends of the existing

Justice-•he tittered against hint (Mr. Canning), or
against any other Member, so far as be could re-
collect. . He tvas at a loss to know how the con-
fining of the return ships to the•port of London
would have the effect of preventing the danger ap-
prehended from the settleMent of Europeans in
India ; lint the truth was, that the object. of the
amendment, at least its effect, would be to leave
the Cinnpanv still in, possession of the monopoly,
and to set all the inroads of private trade at de-
fiance. An Hon. Director- said, that the mono-
poly should not be transferred to Liverpool or
Bristol, or Hall. These •poits did not contend
against the monopoly on their oIXII ttccottnt ; they
contended and petitioned against it upon princi-
ple, and for the •general interest of the nation,—
They asked for no limitation but what Parliament
prescribed. The large establishments which had
grown up in London from India imports being
confined to it, was ati argument which would in-.
crease in strength every day, because those esta-
Hishments must, under the present system, in-
crease. • The letter referred to by an Hon. Akin-
her (Ift.. Forbes), comphining of the imposition
of heavy ilitties by the local Gover»ments, was
confirmed by another letter which had been lately
put into his hams. It th i 3 power w-ere to remitin
uncommitted, the local Governments could render
the present measures with respect to trade alto,.
gether ineffectual. He hoped a provision for the
purpose of,Ysuch controul would. make part of
the Bill. • •

an exercise of pwer by the local Uovernments,

Sir J. NEwrora moved an addition'to the para-

providing that the ports to participate iu the
trade to India should be named by Parliament."
Lord CASTLEREACiff oppOited the amendment,
as involving :a most extraordinary proposition, it
having been previously resolved, that the names
of the ports shall be declared by Order in Council.
After a conversation, in which Mr. Baring,
Mr: Bathurst, Mr. A. Robinson, Mr, Robinson,
Lord Milton, Mr. Wharton, the Chancellor of 1111!
Exchequer, and Mr. -Rose participated, tile
Amendment was negatived. •
Lord CASTLEREAGH moved to omit the names
of Fort William, Fort St; George, Bombay, and
Prince of Wales's Island, which stood in another
clause of the Resolution.

Mr, CREFNEY moved the omission of time pro-
Nis° altogether, contending, that English mer-
