EAST INDIA JUDGES' BILL., .
The Order of the Day for the further consideration of the
Report on the above Bill having been read,. '
Mr. HUME said, he was desirons or proposing a clanie to
:ender it lawful for natives and half castes of India to serve on
juries in the presidencies of MAdraS and Bortibay. He Was
convinced that the measure Would' prove highly beneficial.,—
The Courts-niartial in . India were composed solely at natives,
and the manner in which they were conducted was such as ,to
give the highest satisfaction. The Hon.. Gentleman concluded
by moving a clause accordingly, empowering native subjects
(half-caste Indians, or IndO-Britons) to sit on juries. He ob-
served, that no danger could follow on the adoption of such a
permission in our Indian empire. If he was to be met, however,
by the suggestion that it should. form the subject of a separate
bill to be introduced iu theteginning of thenext session of Parlia,
ment, he could only say, tha,t for his part, he should not object
to that proposal.—(Hear!)--He should .rather. propose, at pre
Sent, to follow up this motion with other clauses, empowering
the several high sheriffs of the presidencies of Calcutta, Madras;
Bombay,-&c. to enroll and summon to serve on grand and' ape-•
cial juries' according to their several qualifications, all. auhjects
of our Lord the King born within any of such presidencies, or
other parts of India. under the protection of the British flag;;
and also to Make foreigners within our jurisdiction, or service,
or protection, in India, competent to serve on such juries; and
if the House should entertain • these clauses, he would -finally
move another, empowering the some parties to serve as jurors
on civil canes in india.—(Hear !)
On the first clause.being read; . ~ ..!
Nr. WYNN opposed it in - its present shape,' at the.same
tipaethat he had no hesitation in. saying he entirely
.concurred
in the principle which recognized. the eligibility of our native
subjects in India to serve as jurors generally.,-- But ,he did not
think that to enable them to act as jurors in civil cases • would
be an ;arrangement. which would operate beneficially for. the
interests of .our Indian empire. - The -Right' Honourable
Gentleman .intimated his intention of bringing the subject, in
a different form, before -Parliament in an early period of the
next session. - , - . .••
Sir CHARLES FORBES supported the clause. That
any doubt could be entertained for one moment of the right
which our subjects in India had to a privilege of. this kind ap-
peared to him.the most extraordinary thing in the world.
Mr..WILLIAM SMITH thought that the Right Hon.
President of the Board of Controul had stated a good ground.
why the clause should not be brought in at the tail of the ses-
sion. At the same time- it was gratifying to hear him recog-
nizing the principle upon which • the ,aILISC , proposed was.
fbunded. That there should be some intermediate judges be-
t Ween the Europeans in. India and their Indian subjects, be-
tween those who commanded and those., who obeyed, was a'
matter of the most essential consequence to the welfare and beet
interests pf both parties.. Now he (Mr. Smith) should appre.
hend that the mere expression' of a strong opinion to this effect
by the, Right Mon. Gentleman would answer every purpose as
soon as the intelligence of such a fact reached India; or per-
haps his Right, Hon. Friend, in the beginning of 'the next ses-
sion, might choose to put it on record, in which event any act of
Parliament would be unnecessary. •; i -
M r.TRAN,T observed, that if the. Hon. Member, in conse-
quence of what had fallen from the Right Hon Gentleman (Mr.
Wynn), had-not yet given up; his, intention of moving for an
inquiry into the administration ofjustice in India, he (Mr. T.)
would recommend him to. consult a very able. book, written on
that,subject by, Mr.. Fullerton,; atthat • time a Member. pf Sir
Thomas Munro 's Council at :Madras, and 'now Governor of
Prince of Il'ales's Island.—{Here the Bon. Gentleman read a
long extract from the work in question,; tending, as we 'under:-
stood, so she* the cumbersome anti un,weildy system of legal
proceedings present prevailing in ,the Native Court 4, in
at
certain cases.]—lf, however, it should not be the-intention of
the Hon. Member for Aberdeen to persist in this intention, he
(Mr: Trani) pledged himself, should he, in the .next..§ession,.
have the honour of a seat in in that House, and it should appear
that the Right ion. President. of. the Board- of Controul' was
not. inclined to originateany such proposition as he .114 pro-.
mised to do in' respect of Madiass, he would-himself submit a
• •
motion fbr the adoption of the inquiry in question.-7(Hear_!) .
Mr. HUME; in consequence of what had been said by the
Bight Hon. Gentleman opposite .(Mr. Wynn), would not at
present press the clause, but would consider whether he would
not bring in a bill for similar purposes.
The clause was then, -with leave Of...the House, withdrawn.

'Extm:f from the Process Verbal of the Ceremonies of the
;oronation of his Majesty Charles X:
On Monday May 30, at ten o'clock in the morning, the Fo-
rfigri Ambassadors and Ministers paid their respects to the
Xing and the Royal Family. His Excellency the Apostolic
it Nuncio complimented the Zing in the name of the Diplomatic
Bodyin these terms :-
--" StitE—Ale Diplomatic Body, deeply affected by the au-
'ust ceremony which they have just witnessed, and by all the
-recollections that it calls forth, hasten to offer to your Majesty
the tribute of-their felicitations.
After tong reverses, followed by events so marvellous that
ire should in vain endeavoufto explain them by purely human
causes, one of the Kings (your predecessors) received in this an-
cent city theiloly unction which had flowed on the forehead of

" Tried, Sire, by greater misfortunes, but which never shook
your Royal soul, Providence has conducted you, in a manner
no less marvellous; to the foot of the same altar where Charles
1,-11. again touk possession of this glorious Crown, the splen-
dour of which is still heightened by your virtues.
" In seeing religion, which alone consolidates thrones, con-
serrate the hegining of your reign, Europe participates in the
hopes which France has conceived of it, at the same time as it
joins with it in forming the most ardent wishes for the happi-
neNs of your Majesty, which is:inseparble front the public fe-
licity. Sire, the surest pledge in your wisdom, your
goodness, and your noble-character."
The King answered=" Sir, On an occasion so interesting
to religion- and the monarchy, am happy to see myself sur-
rounded by the representatives of all the Sovereigns of Europe.
•. I am very.sen-sible to all that you .have just said to me in the
mane of. the Diplomatic Body ; I have the firm confidence that
his august ceremony will promote the happiness of my people;
and I shall use all my efforts to maintain the peace and har-
mony which at present subsist between all the Powers. I hope
that God will bless my efforts. We can do nothing without
hint. Gentlemen, I beg you to make known to your masters
the sentiments by which I am animated, and my gratitude for
the part they Wave taken in my coronation."
At the breaking up of the diplomatic meeting, M. de ',alive

(RECEIVED By ANCONA.)
,PROVISIONAL iiOYERNMENT OF GREECE,
71tE.U.NECU,TIVE BODY

'TO MESSRS. JOHN ORLANDO•AND ANDREAS LURIOTTIS.
The Government thinks it necessary to infOrm
you of the true state of affairs at present in Greece. It is very
probable that report will have augmented the number of troops
:ianded by Ibrahim Paella at Itlotion and Coron ; learn then
that the forces disembarked by him at those placesdo not ex-
ceed 8000. it v:lx a reg-elar corps, consisting of Arab soldiers,
and commanded by about forty European adventures ; six
thousand only, of them were fighting.mer.,.the rest were ser-
..eants, such as grooms, 'exc. They were accompanied by'
shout three hundred and fifty horsemen, organized in
,the manner of the •Mamelukes. This corps was able to
advance to within eight hours' distance of Alodon
and Coron ; but they were not able to do any injury—but
on the contrary. in a skirmish which took place with 1,000
Greeks: tmder our General, Passos I'davromuniottis, they were
‘forced to retire. As, however, our troops were not in readiness
to oppose them, they advanced shortly after towards Navarino,
,hoping to besiege and take that fortress ; but it is too well de-
fended, and too strong. to be taken even by four times that
number of enemies. Thus, up to this day, there have only
-been skirmishes, in which the enemy have lost 1,300 men.—
is Excellency the President, Conduriottis, has been elected
I:nief of the forces destined to besiege Patras, and it is several
.days since. ho proceeded on that expedition ; but on account of
the landing of the Arabs at 'rlodon, he proceeded thither, and
from thence he will march to Patras.
A. corp of 8 to-1.0,000 men has entered into western Greece.
They must really imagine that they can strike terror into the
deserts, since, on advancing into western Greece, they will only
meet stones and guns • and it' even they succeed in reaching
• the interior, they will 'find that Anatolico and Alissolonglii are
impregnable.
In Eastern Greece there have only appeared 400 horsemen,
accompanied by the renegade Odysseus, who not being able to
.seduce the people to his traitorous opinions, threw off the mask,
lieserted to the Turks, and took up arms against his country ;
but the brave General Gouras, with a force of 5,000 chosen
men, attacked him, and drove him, with his companions, to
Tarentum ; he keeps them closely blocked up there, and we
think that shortly Odysseus and his troops will experience the
fate they merit.
The enemy have begun the campaign this year much earlier
than usual; and we do not doubt that in this fifth campaign
they will employ all their efforts, but we also confidently hope
aind believe, that those exertions will fail, and that the Greeks,
by brilliant victories, will advance their independence. The
Government is occupied in expediting three strong corps of
troops--one will be stationed at Volo, one is destined for the
besieging of Negroponte, and the other for Agrapha. A fourth
carps-of less strength will be stationed at Patronziki.
According to all appearances, the Sultan has placed all his
- hopes on two forces—that of the Albanians, and that of Me-
brined Ali Pacha. Aso the Egyptians, we have spoken of
them above ; and as to the Albanians, the experience of four
years has taught, us what may be expected from them, ewe-
daily on compayiag.t.ur forces of this year with those of the pre-
ceding campaigns. , ()Ur, yessels also are cruising on the coasts
of Albania.

SECOND D.' iSPATCH.
(RECEIVED BY THE WAY OF MARSEILLES.)
THE .EXECUTIVE BODY.

TO MESSRS. JOHN ORLANDO AND AUDREAS LTIRIOTTIS.
The enemy before Navarino, having experienced defeats at
various times, is at present in distress, and is endeavouring to
retire iota the.fortresses of Modon and Coron. We hope that
none of them will escape us, and that their prevent position
may serve-them as a salutary lesson. On the 31st irfarch (J2th
April) a curious engagement took place. About one, hundred
Cheeks, under General Macrojanis, sallied out of the fortress
sword in hand, threw themselves on the centre of the enemy,
and, after having killed more than five hundred, accord-
ing to the most authentic information we have received, they
returned into the fortress, laden with booty, having lostonly
one of their companions, and with only seven slightly wound-
ed. It is also proper to inform you of the heroic action of J.ohn
Marro-Michaelis, son of Petros Mavro-Michaelis.. That
youpg man, accompanied by his brother George, had hardly

karncd that t.le enemy advanced towards N,o,7lrivo,
went to throw himself into that fortress with a body of soldiers.
Unwilling to remain in the fortress, he sallied forth and threw
Himself on the enemy, and occasioned them a considerable
jo3s. Death, however, deprived 11A of this young but worthy
pgricit.; he received in that engagement a mortal wound. The
Government, having remarked the sincere zeal of Petres
Mavro-Michaelis, who himself persuaded his sons to perform

ZANTE, MAY 14, 182.5.—0 n the 12th instant, Miaulis re-
ceived a reinforcement of 15 vessels and 5 fire-ships under Ca-
naris. All the vessels arriving from Navarina, agree in say-
ing that Could no longer prevent the enemy's frigates
from entering the port, as they had taken possession of a
small desert spot at the mouth of it. Whilst our seamen were
in this position, Miaulis received the above-mentioned as.
sistance, and ordered Canaris immediately to proceed with
two fire-ships to 31odon, where forty ships of war and trans-
ports of the enemy were at anchor. According to the intelli-
gence received from various European vessels arrived here,
we learn that they were all destroyed. All those European
vessels arrived here without their anchors, and one with its
parapet burnt, having narrowly escaped the conflagration.—
Since that time there has constantly blown a strong southerly
wind, which is very favourable for sending fire-ships into the
port of Navarino, and 'it is generally thought that there was a
conflagration at that place about the
,same.time as the former
at Modon, as great flames were seen there during the whole
night, and that at .31odon did not take place till about six in
the morning.
