the Company's dividend was to be provided for
and paid, in preference to alt Other cOnsidera),
. The .Earl of LAUDELDALE then addressed the
House at sonic length, upon the general subject ;
and conmieneed- by saying., lte' would -tell their
Lordships fairly what it was brought him, down
that (1 y. fle was desirous of saying s'few
to obtain the oppiirtunity,' such ,as the Constitu-
tion afforded him, of registering upon their Lor&
journals„ in the form of a Protest, his opi-
nion on the subject- of the Bill then before them.
Ile. then made.a variety of olFervations respecting
the situation cif the East India Company, parti-
cularly with respect to their coinmercial concerns,
debts, and the investments necessary to he tnade,
of which, under the existing system, he drew an
unfavourable picture, nod argued that the Com-
pany were from being in a safe °I -flourishing
state—R state which the Bill (Of ‘vhich he in vain
endeavoured to find out the principe) was by no
menus likely to improve. He argued against the,
policy of extending our territorial revcimes in In-
dia, and lie vleprecated a system which went to
exhaust and impoverish that country by extractH
jug. its Wealth, without any return. trom this,
which would eventually render India not an object
worthy of retention. Ile did hot so much dis. 7
approve of the Bill as the system that gave rise'
to its provisions. He should give their Lordships
no trontile in any disens%,ion of its details ; as en-,
tertaMing little hope that he could
,successfully
propose such amendments as would chapge- and
form it to. that aature which he thought ',salutary
or eflieacietts, though minor or inadequate amend-
ments may endanger its fate for the Session.
der these impressions, he should not trouble them
farther on the Bill itself, but would record his ge-:
neral sentiments of the measure in the way he had
stated.

Tbe Earl of I3UCKINGItAhISIIIHE• dia( red widely
from the 'Noble Lord in his view Ptid 'ColiChiSkiS
rOPeethig the general subject. lie was decidedly
of opinion that the Co►epany had amply the means
of mettn.g every deMand _upon them. He was
• fully persuaded, notwithstanding any theoretical
notions the Noble Lord may entertain on the sub-
ject, that ledia was in a statie of great improve-
,Ment—its revenues increasing,,—and., indeed in
.every point of view,. that the state of the country
was progtessirelyameliorating. The trade now car-
ried on thither by foreigners,
.it ivas not unrea-
sonable'to suppose, would soon fall into the hands
British merchants, There-Was no reason; ge-
nerally speaking,- for our not carrying it on as
ml vantageoublyam it had so Icing been by the Acne-.
rieans ; and the Noble Lord opposite well knew,,
that the system, under the late regulations at the
China trade, was extremelydisadvantageoes; and
this the measure in question would go essentially
to improve. The Noble Earl referred, in support
of his positions, :to ' some details of the evidenee
given before their Lordships Committee, particn-
lady that of Mr. Cartwright ; and which, he
argued, tended to shew that the trade to that
quarter could be carried on greatly to the advun•
tage of the Empire at large

TheZarl of LAUDERDALI% spoke hi explanation.
After which the question was pia, the liiii was
read a second time, and coinuntied.for Monday.

PALMER'S REMUNERATION' BILL.

. On the question for :,their Lordships going Into.
a Committee on this Bill, !
The all of Monow, pursuant to his- notice,
• lose to to-oppose the measure), and urged a v•a-
rietyorpointe‘l objections ,prineipallyou the ground
that it was an enormom and 'improVident grant
of the public money; to which their Lordships
could not consistently agree, after their repeated,
Intl even recent rejection of Bills to•the sante ef-
fect. Fur his part, he was so unfortunate as not
be able to discover those extraordinny merits in
Mr. Palmer, which entitled him to such a grant;
and lie thought those who supported the measure
called upon to show why their Lordships should.
consent to a measure, which on three former Oc-
casions they had, after full consideration, thought
it their duty to reject; and in so doing he thought
'they shoved themselves better guardians of the
public purse, than thOse who had it more consti-
tutionally in charge ; and he observed, that if the-
Bill passed, it would hold out such an encourage-
ment to Parliamentary canvassing, as that there
was no knowledge where it would stop.
The Earl of tivEmpoot.' did not see that incon-
sistency in their Lord Ships 'agreeing to this melt
-
sure which his Noble Friend contended tor. Its
Brinciple was 'essentially different from the former
ills, which proceeded on a claim of right, 4 prin.-,
ciple which healways thought it his duty to repist.
Ile adverted to , the very great difference of the
surnst and extent of remuneration claimed by the.
fohner ,Bills,
.and that gratuitously given by the
present, in contemplation of a plan which laid
proved a considerable accommodation to the pub-
lic, and Considerably increased the revenue, lie
,could rick see any thing tinjutit or unreasonable,
when the proposition carne it) this shape before
them, in their Lordships agreeing to, the present
measure. The former hills sent up by the Com-
mons, he repeated, were founded on a claim of
right the present being uric of a very dillerent
:description, he could see n'o inconsistency. iu their
agreeing to it. • • -

These sentiments seeming to Meet the general
conetirrenee or their Lordships, the House resolv-
ed into the Committee, and .the 'Lail of Morton
took the Chair.

The Bill w;t then agreed to, and reported
without any amendment.

Adjourned till Monday.

BUONAPARTE, previous to his departure for Ger-
many, had conirlled to enter into the army all
the young men who had means to purchase sub-
stitutes before for the
,couseription. These new
coil), arc stiled Gardes d lienneur. Five hundred
are furnished by each Department, and the mode
he took to raise them is equally novel and 'inge-
nious. The Pi efrets received orders to write a
circular letter, to each of the designated youths,
stating, that (‘ his Majesty the EMPEROR haviag
learned that they were anxious 'to enter into the
Gardes d'Honneur, hail named them members of
that body." There was no resisting that polite
condescension j but great discontents prevail in
conseivicuce.

Corutuut Papets-• to the 7th have arrived this
morning, and theit• principal contents, are copied
below. Thonerh a week has intervened since the
btsparrival ftOnt this quarter, these accounts arc
only posterior by two days to those of which we
are' already in possession ; and later intelligence
from the North of 'f-taitt, to satisfy' the ardent en-
rio,ity• of the Public, does not. appear to have
rettched "Cornnua at the period of their leaving
t.hlt port. The most, observable points stated in
tiwse. Journals are, smite further particulars of the'
results or the glorions battleof Vittbria ; 13;000
prisoners ; 41,000,000 of reals, coming :front
Prance, and intended for the pnyment of the
troops ; ;',t)t) antuttinition chests, and :3,000,000,
of cartridges, are enumerated as having fallen
to the, • victors, while the absolute loss of the

Enemy in the field is citimated at five thou-
- acid slain. The Oallician Army, it is said,.
would be at iron on the 27th ; and we re-
joke to find it intimated, that from the celerity of
• ,
the movements on Tolosa, the Enemy, despairing
of effecting their escape by the high road to
2rance, had doubled, and run off to the
along the foot of the Pyrenees, on the Spanish
side, where 'ye have no doubt a good account
will he rendered of the fugitives. The fine army
of T reserve, under Conde de 1314 DAL, marched
through Burgos on the 26th, and would of course,
soon be in at the finale of the ruthless invaders.
Combined corps of the three nations arc stated to
have entered Arragon in quest of SU CHET,
(WIIOSC retrocession from Tarragona to Va-
reacia seems to have been unknown), and
the illustrious 'WELLINGTON, respecting whom,
however, the intelligence is not so recent as that
of last week, is mentioned as pursuing JOSEPH
without intertni.:liion, for the purpose of, putting.
a finishing hand to his o‘crthrow,--The hitter

there is nothing to loser the glowing antioll'a-
