POLYCARS.

Sir THOMAS TUIITON rose pursuant to no-
lice, to move for certain Papers tending to bring to
light the condo& of the Indian Government towards
the Polygars. His objet was to vindicate the cha-
rader of the Ccilltlt4, by the investigation of the
parts of the Indian System which called. Most loud-
ly for inquiry, and, as far as that should 11:, found
possible, affording redress where injury had keen
done. He wished also to ithpress the occcoitY of
correcting the whole system on which the Govern.
ment of India had been for some time conducted.
The transaction to which these Papers referred, Was
but one of many which had left a very daegeTous.
rankling in the minds of the Natives. The sYs.
tematic interference of the Indian Gal:anvil:tot, at
home and abroad, with the prejudices and habits of
the Natives,.had excited great dispositioes in their
minds to.hostility towards the British interest. He
adverted particularly to the late lamentable transac-
tion at Vellore, which had originated trot as inter-
ference of this kind., The whole systein called
loudly for inquiry and reformation, which' he was
anxious by: every effort of his to expedite and carry
into ell e& With this view he gave notice that un-,
less the Noble Lord opposite (Folkstone) should be
prepared to bring forward the Carnatic queStion in
a fintnigbt after the commencement of the _next
Session of Parliament, he would himself call the at.:
tention of the House to that subject. He should
now Only move for Copies of the Insrruttions
given by the Bengal Government to Major. Ban-
nerman, in 1799, for the regulation of his Condo&
towards the Polygars, and also several other 'Papers
connected with the same suhjed.
,
Mr. Animas had no objection to. the production
of the Papers,- but entered his protest against any
inferenee.of criminality in any one in the measure
of disarming the Polygars, which had been rendered
indispensably .necesiafy by the disorders-these: Poly-.
gars were eternally committing. He should him-
self move, or titither Papers, with a view to place
the whole subject in a fair light.
Mr. ADDINGTim entered his. protest against the
prevailing prat:Ake of moving for Papers with a
view to crimination, without any ground whatso-
ever to induce a presumption that there had been

Lord FOLNSTOWE said he would be ready; early
in the next Session, to proceed to the discussion and
decision of the Carnatie Que,tion.

Mr. GRANT rose to state, that nothing could be
more erroneous than 'to. suppdse that the late unfor-
tunate affair at Vellore arose from a system, or- de-
sign to interfere, in any manner, with atiy of the
habits of the Natives. There was no such design
at home or abroad ; and though such an idea had for
some time been prevalent liere„he could, assure the
House, from a particular perusal of the' Papers re-
lating to the transaction, that there was no, ground
whatever for the of inion. '.('he principal modve 'of
the authors of that lamentable transaction seemed
to be a wish to restore the sons of lippoo Sultaun'
to the throne of their father.
Sir THOMAS TURTON thought himself jnstified
in describing as a sytematic principle in site Go-
v,ernmeiti of India, an Act of the Quvernment of
Madras, which had been the subject of a regular
correspondence and considtation between that Go-
vernment and the Indian, Government at home.
Mr. W. KKANE entered into an historical detail Of
the proceedings with respect to tilt Pulygars,
oetentled.

Mr. WALLAce vindicated trot only the Court of
Direaors, hut the Government of Madras, from the
charge of interjering with the habits and prejudices
of the Natives oflindia.- Such interference would
indeed be most injurious.
After a few observations from Sir A. WaLtitsLuv,
the Papers were ordered a and also several other
Papers moved for by Mr. DUNDAS, in order to give
a fuller view of the case.

The SECRETARY at WAR brought in a Bill for
Maintaining a Military Canal and Road from Shorn
Cliff to Cliff-end. Read a first time, and ordered to
be read a second' time this day se'nnight.
Mr. HUSIOSSON presented an Account of the
Number and Tonnage of Vessels that bad entered and
cleared out at Yarmouth, in the Isle of Wight, and
the tannage thereof, for a certain, period, with a
view to !thew the quantity of spirits smuggled from
Guernsey.
On the motion of Mr. WHITBREAD, the House
went into a Committee on the Parochial School
Bill.

Several of the clauses were agreed to. On the
clause specifying that Schools should be established
in every parish within one year troth the passing of
the Act. . •
Mr. STURGES BOURNE proposed an amend-
ment. The enforcement of this clause would be
inconvenient in most parishes, and in many im-
pradicable. The compulsive. nature. of it would pre-
vent the Billfrom being ailed upon with that good
will and zeal so desirable. - Ile thought it qixtreme-
ly expedient, that when the Bill had passed through
the Committee it should not become law.until the
whole country had had itn opportunity of estimating
its merits during the recess. The amendment which
he proposed was to omit the compulsory part of the
clause, and merely to give tq the d:tlerent parishes
power, if they thought 'tit, to establish parochial
schools. The inhabitants of each parish would thus
have the opporcunity of consulting their own inter-
ests in their own way, with a reference to their own
wants and means, of which, unquestionably, they
must be the best judges. •
Mr. W. SMITH, while :IC allowed that it might
perhaps be expedient to defer passing his Hon.
Friend's Bill into a law during the present Session,
yet, contended strongly for _the beneficial efieds
which would result from it.
Mr. HAwKINS BUowNE did justice to themotives
of the Hon.. Gentleman by whom this Bill had been
introduced, but questioned the possibility of Com-
pelling,the people to receive instruction. Tire vark
ous parishes of the country were situated in such
different circumstance, that one law could not be
rendered applicable to them all.
Mr. WILBERFORCE was glad to perceive that
his own opinion, as to the desirableness of not pass-
ing the Bill during the present Session, seemed to
.accord with the general ,disposition of the House. It
was certainly more important that this subject
should be decided upon, than that it should be de-
cided Upon soon. It was highly to be wished!, that
there should. tint .he any appearance of forcing this
plan upon the people, and he regretted to find, upon
conversing with many Magistrates and otlitr Coun-
try Gentlemen, that they were not 60 well diapered
towards it as he was himself. Ai the &Mitt time, he
could not approve of the Amendment proposed by.
,the Honourable Gentleman, because if the voluntary
measure which tic -recommended, should he unsuc-
cessful, it would be very difficult atterW•ards to carry.
the compulsory into' execution. The necessity of
instruction among the lower classes in the South and
West of England,' and in Ireland; was strikingly ob-
vious ; in the, latter particularly, he was convinced
that on the instrueling and enlightening of the
people depended the very safety of the Empire itself.
Still, although general instruction might be' very
praaicable, he was not quite prepared' to agree to
the Sending out of a Parlaithentary edia for that
purpose. He thptight that sufficient pains had nut
be6n taken to avail ourselves of the voluntary intni,_

tnyons for the eduvaiion of the [oor, and -was of
op;nion, that it would be a great improvement to the
measure, were it only to operate where those insti-
tutions were' deficient. liaOng instanced several
cases in Which the detail of the Bill Might be: im-
proved, he recommended should be. that the Bill.
made as good as pd%sibae, and be then sent to the.
country for the general sentiment. Parliament
ought not to be hasty in this business : they ought.
to recollect that they are legislating for posterity on:
a subject in which their happiness Wa*more•cork.7
cerned than in any other ; for he was convinced
that in a thousand attempts to do good, there was
not one the result of which could be ascertained with
so much satistaation as the ditlusion of usetul kuPw•
ledge. " •

Mr.' 11/7fITIMEAD expre!ised himself happy to'
find, &oh] the comittsitm of the Hon. Gebtleinatt's
syeech, that he c6ittinued to be an advocate for the

ditinsion of, knowledge.: such an opinion Nas to be
expected from a man of his charade:, and condud,
and ones who had.paidsuch unremitting attention to
sitnilar subjects. He. owned, hoWever, that he was
somewhat surprise) at the inclination for delay
which that Hon. Gentleman had manifested. kiad

he not proofs in other parts of the world of the be-
netirs which resulted from.the dithision of the truths
of the Gospel ? And how were these truths to be
still further ditfused in this country, but by putting
into every one's hands the keys of knowledge. The
Hon. Gentleman lwd allowed that the instruction of
the Irish was indispensable with the safety of the
Empire ; was a moment then to be lost'? He (Mr.
Whitbread) was then 'what that lien. Gentleman
-bad often been, in the hands of the gradual abolition
of the Bill. The postponement would he espoused
by those who hoped, by putting off the Bill to ano-,
titer Session, to get rid of it altogether. 'The mea-
sure had been opposed without having been even
read, for if it had been read it
,could never have been
asserted that ir was compulsory. J.t.did not compel
a single child to attend ; it only gave power, to the
Magistrates to erect Schools and to appoint School-
' masters : the rest would necessarily follow. This'
misrepresentation pros ed to him that if the Bill were
• reprinted and sent into the country, it would be only
to make waWte paper. When Parliament met again,
Gentle,men would declare that they had not had titud
to read it, and. would pros for. further delay. He
desired, therefore, to have a ,decision on it in the
present. Session:. ' With regard to the Petitions on
flit: table, they did. nut coinplain of the principle of
time measure, but of the enactments, as tending to
alfeet the Petitioners; but the Bill contained a clause,
cur4thh4 the Justices to suspend the execution of

the Bill, where unnecessary. This would obviate-
any inconvenience, unless indeed the Magistrates-
weresupposed to be corrupt. If corruption were
thus to be imputed to all men, every attempt, to be-
nest mankind must cease. We must do nothing but
lie down and die. It had been said, that the Bill
would put an end to charitable contributions. Not
If in a large Parish six thonsand children were
educated by charitable contributions, and ten thou.
sand were not educated at- all, his Bill passing over
the former would apply only to the hitter, whose.
situation was rendered at present so much more dis- .
tressing by the contrast. It had been also said, that
by the Bill, parishes Would be compelled to raise a
shilling-rate. No such thing.. The Bill only gave
a power of doing so when necessary, a necessity that
would not exist once in it thou sand parishes. The"
impossibility of carrying the measure into effe& in a.
year, had been dwelt upon. Why impossible ? .
many parishes schools were already eretied. In
others, temporary buildings might be•. used until
schools• were erected. It would be easy to find
Schoolmasters,, among whom there would doubtless
be a competition for appointments. If the Com-
mittee adopted the proposed_ amendment, be should
despair of its ever being the serious intention of the
House to carry the general measure into effeCt.--
The moss weighty objeCtions that had been made to
the Bill; related to the Metropolis and its neighbour-
hood. It was certainly not probable that Police Ma.!
gistrates. would be so likely properly to execu'e the
provisions of the Bill, as Magistrates in the country,
who possessed local knowledge and local
:interests.
If, on the report of the Bill, the Members of the
City of London, or for the County of Middlelex,.
should propose a clause to prevent this power frotn
being lodged in the hands of the Police Magistrates,
he should.not object to it. He repeated his wish,
that the Bill might pass in the present Session. The
example of Scotland, and the Moth of England;
evinced the benefits of that instruOion in which he
was most desirous that the rest of the Empire should
partiCipate.
'Mr. WILBERFORCE, in explanation, declared that
on no subjed bad he formed a more -deliberate
and at the same time a more decided opinion, than
on the advantages which a Country must derive
from the instruction of its people. The difference
Of apitfloti entertained by the Magistrates, and"
others with whom be bad comers .d, was not cgt.
the benefit- of instruction, but on. the mode

conveying it. - , •

jelnoltcwl): lower
porate with dial instruction a sptfit of proselytism,
which must defeat the objet. In confirmation. of
this opinion he read an extras from the writings oit
a man whom he termed one of the greatest bene.
faaors of mankind that ever existed—Mr: Howard.
Mr. Boss could not help wishing that the Hon.
Gentleman would accede to the proposition' of his !,
.Hon. Friend. Right or wrong there were very
strong prejudices against the Bill, not only in the
metropolis, but over the whole country.
IVlr.'Stistsomopposid the Bill, and Mr. LUSHINO.
Tom the Amendment.
Lord Nifts..rox was nnxious that no delay should
take place in the establi3litnent of the use and
important system contained in his Honourable
Friend's measure. The only objection to it, of any
consequence was, that it might lessen the number
of voluntiry contributions fur the education- of the
pocir ; but this by no means counterbalanced in his
mind the multiplied advantages with Which it was
pregnant.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER professed
himself a warm friend to the moral and religious
instruction of the prior ; but he thought that, by
adopting the amendment of his Hon. Friend, the
House would part with the measure for the Ses•
sion in a state infinitely preferable to •tht in Avhicb
it would otherwise be. He agreed with the Hon.
Bart. that it was riot advisable to couple proselytism
with education, but he hoped that no fear of beiog
cuspeaed of such an intention would ever induce the
House to separate religion from education ; for lie
was convinced, that by a religious education alone
the people could be made good subjects, and. their
happiness he established.

-- • No` intelligence' whatever reached Town thii
morning from theL Continent..

The Amendment to Mr.' WHITBREAD'S Parish
School Bill, proposed by Mr. STURGES BOURNE last
night, in the, House of Commons, has removed the
main objection to that Bill, which otherwise might,
if it had so passed into. an A&, have excited dis-
conteot in every Parish. throughout the Country.—
By this judicious Amendmen4 'the establishment of
SchoolS will be optional: on the part of the re-
spedive Parishes, which before was compulsory.
Ztit',it will alsci have the good effle of preserving
the source of private charity from being,disturbed,
as it might have been if people had been forced to
contribute to such a purpose.

If Ministers, were even to attend to the. counsels
Or animadversions .of their opponents, they would
have as little chance of pleasing those opponents, as
by a firm perseverance in any nieasures which they
play have the presumption to adopt ' without pre-
viously consulting those 5 agnious Politicians who
1113 Y fiWour them with advice and exhortation...—
The Expedition hai beau a grand source of complaint
with the Opposition Writers, though 'they confess
that they know nothing of its de7thintion ; and some
of them at length very. ,shre‘vdly intimate a sus-
piciort, that though it was Originally intended
for one purpose, It has been direaed to another.
We, do. nut khow' Whether this ingenious cohjeeture
is intended to convey: censures but; admitting the
fast, we cannot doubt that • the new destination,
whatever it may b; will be equally the. subiea Of
'condemnation. A change of circumstances, Which.
might require a change of measures, will be nc';
justification in the opinion of Metewho are deter-
Mined to oppose. MiniSters whatever system they
may find it necessary, to put in execution.

SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 18.

"A COuiler arrived this day from Berlin, with the
very important intelligence, that Peace was signed
at. Tilsit on:the 81h instant, between the Emperor of
the, FRENCH, and the Eniperor of RUSSIA the
Prince of BENEVENTO, Minister fdr Fo'reign Rela-

of the latter; being fully authorised by their respec-
tive SoVereigtis:

" l'he Ratifications feet e exchanged on

on the gth of Ally.'

" This important 'intelligence received by the
Minister for Foreign.. Affairs, by two different ways;
will be immediately forwarded to His MAJ ESTY in the
name of all his Ministers ; and will be communicated
W the public to-morrow; by the hoisting. of colours

THE TitEATRk.--,-The dramatic novelty of The
Fortress, independently of its own interestin&fible,
is so well supported by YOUNG, LISTON, MA-.
THEWS, Mrs. Gum, and. the other performers con-
.cerned in it, that its attradion increases. Mr. BEN-
, NET last night assumed the part of Leander, in The
Padlock, but there "was nothing in his aeling or sing-
ing intitled-to much commendation or notice; ',Die
last,piece Was Catherine and Petruchio. Mr. YOUNG
peiformertthe boiefr,.or, him, and was sufficiently
naive and spit.lted. In one respe6tiwe think he was
mistaken, for he seemed to hold up the terrors of
the whip tO Catharine herself, while it is`obviously
the intent of Peinchio .to tame his
mate by the-operation of his Bac* violence on,
others, and a pretence, that all his impetuosity arises
from regard to her. •
