EAST INDIA BONDS.

Mr. rlyNDAs,bping moved the third reading of
the East India Bonds Bill, •
Mr. OEgVEY, said, ,when he formerly ex.;
pressed a wish that the farther progress in this Bill.
should be postponed, he did so because the neces-
sary Accounts were not then all on the table. They'
had since been produced, and. they were. by no
means calculated to satisfy him that the Company,'
had any prospea of being Able.to prodtice a revenue
which should .at any time greatly exceed their ex--
penditurei or such as would enable them to provide
for the payment of these bonds. It, appeared to him,
that there was even on the Accolints 865-6, a de-
liCiency of ,0 0 ,00 01 . He, had heard an Hun.
Member, . a Direaor of the Company, talk of a
residue of nearly 1,000,0001. He saw, indeed, on
looking into the Accounts, a balance in one place of
600,0001: but in this view of the case, the interest of
the debts due by the Company were not provided
ter. Calculating on this and other expences, there
was defiCiency for the year 1"805-0, ofanearly'two
millions, and for the preceding year of q,600,0001.
He was therefore more than ever confirmed in the
opinion, that there was an impossibility.in supposing
that the Company could ever have a net surplus
revenue, or should ever be able to provide for their
debts abroad and at home. As, however, it was
admitted by the Honourable Direaor and by. the
Chancellor) of the Exchequer,' that 'no claim could
lie against the public on account of the bonds' now
to be issued, or any other debts ot' the Company.,,
and as it was understood that an inquiry into the
,state of the Company's affairs was to take place .
early in the next SeSsion, if the East India Company
could borrow money in the way proposed, he shoUld
not obje6t to it.

AII'.DItNDAS contended, that by properly analyz-
ing the Accounts on the table, the Hon. Member
would have found that the Acuouilts for 11106-7,
instead of a deficiency produced a st.tplu of
800A001.; and, by a necessary attention to the Ex-
penditure, he had no doubt it would produce such
a surplus as would be sufficient for a speedy liqui-
dation of their debts.

Lord FoLKsTo z declared, from all the attention
he had been able to 'pay to the subjeet, that the de-
duttion drawn by his Hon. Friend near him (Mr.
Creevey>, not that of the Right Hon. Gentleman
opposite, was correct.
Mr. DUNDA6 explained.

General. TARLETOtI said, he had it in charge from
his Constituents to oppose the Bill ; and particularly
to oppose the renewal of the Company's Exclusive
Charter; which, when it came beiore the House,
he should- feel it his"duty to do,
Mr. WHITBREAD thought that, the weight of tes-
timony was at present against - the Company.
however an Hon. Metneer of the Beard of Con-
,
troul (Mr. Johnstone), whom he now Saw in his
place-, won't! join 'his testimony to that ot 'the 011-
ticman .at the head of the Board, a to the state of
the Company's attiirs, and Ike probability of a
favourable issue, he should be satisfied ; -at -least
it would go far to Make him credit the statement
of the Righi Honourable Gentl'eman (Mr.'Dundas).
The Bill was then read a third time. •

On the question that the Bill do pass,
Mr:WHITBREAD said, that observing the Hon.
Gentleman to whom he alluded; preserved a deter-
mined silence, he uiust objet to the passing' of the
Bill.

Mr. JOH NSTONE felt himself extremely flatter-
ed by the appeal Made to him by, the How Gentle-
man opposite. Gentlemen, 'however, would reCal-
lett that ho had alWays been impressed with a
gloomy opinion on this subject. He confessed 'he
did nottt this Matnenr• look to the future Situation
of the Company with aisanguitie eye. By prudence
and economy he thought much might be done hut
the Company ought •net, and conk! not, eit.pe6l a
great additional revenue. As moch was 'already
drawn from, their territories as could well be. ex'-
petted. It . was therefore to economy principally
they were to lbolc.for.a change in their affairs'. As
to the support to be given to the inclination of his
constituents, to years hence, by the Hon. General
(Taileton), he • could only say, he hoped the Hon.
General would, at the expiry of that period, con-.
tinue, their Representative. Bur, at the same time,
he had no, hesitation in declaring it to be his f4.ed
opinion that the preservation of our empire in that
quarter of the globe depended on the preservation
of the Company. If the patronage thence to be
derived' once found its way •into the hands. of any
Minister of this country,, 'be he whom he might,
there waif an end to the constitution of this Country,
Mr. Wurraatsn said he. must now oppose the
passing of that Bill.
The Bill, however, was panted without a division.
The Report of the Committee of Supply of yes-
terday was brought up, and the different Resolutions
agreed to.
• The Report of the. Irish Revenue Regulation Bill
was taken into farther consideration, agreed to,
and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-mor-
row.

Mr. Honuones brought up the Report of thg
Dublin Paving Bill, agreed t 9, and the Bill ordered
to be read a third time to-morrow.

MILITIA BILLS.

Lord CiISTLERE.4(3I:I, tar the accomthodation
of the House, wished to settle the mode- of. pro-
ceeding in the- discussion of the different ,Bills now
on. the table. From what he saw he was COOViIIC=
ed the diacusssion in the Committee of Supply.. of
to-Morrow, joined to the Irish Arms Bill, would
be sufficient for that 'evening. He therefore wish-
ed that the Committee on the Militia Completion
Bill should be taken to-night, leaving the debate on
the principle of the Militia Transfer Bill, which
kad already gone through a Committee, and was
among the Prders for this night to be reported, to
be rezprinted, as amended, and it, along with the
Militia Cotipletiou Bill, which should also be're.

Sunday and Monday, 'a'•report was spreads that
,the_English had approached the , Coasts, and
,appeared .to intend to effeet a landing' on the
Island of Goree, and at the same time at the

the alarm. ' Some. armed Vessels of the Eng-

AMSTERDAM, JULY 16.•'""•4 is reported by V3a3ef
pilots, that they discovered from thi Heights
Schiermonikoog, three English Divisions, one of 92,
one of 16;• and one of to vessels, steering toward'
the West, with a North-west wind. It is probablf
from this circumstance that a report has been cir-
culated that the English mean to attempt a alga
embatkation* on our Coasts. This report, though
destitute of foundation, proves, by the rapidity of
the military dispositions which were made, that
the English would risk much by attempting a diseor
barkation in any part of Holland.
