sovere;gns of Aga (the Directors) condescended to,
sell breeches and night-caps, and he believed, even
rat-traps, articles which they ought to have left to
their meritorious Officers, as a small reward for their
services.
A division took place on Mr. BARINO93 Amend-
ment—For the original Resolution, 131—For the
Amendment, 43.
Sir J. NEWPORT next moved an amendment,
that the House of Commons should from time to time
be empowered to name the ports from which trade
shiaid Le carried on from this kingdom to India.
The motion was negatived.
Lord CASTLEREAGH proposed, as an amend-
ment, that the Board of Controul should have the
power of granting licences, to trade to certain parts
of India.

This proposition was strongly opposed by Mr. }TOR-
nR, Sir J. NEWPORT. and others.

Mr. CANNING spoke generally against the sys.
tern of licences, but at the same time he was in favour
of the present arrangements.
Mr. A BERCROMBIE strongly objected to the
practice of granting licences ; the whole system was
bad, inasmuch as it was regulated by Ministerial in-
fluence and favour.

Mr. VANSITTART said, the object simply was,
to allow the Board of Controul to give certificates to
trade.
Sir J. NEWPORT declared himself hostile to li-
cences of any kind, as tending to destroy all the ad-
vantages that might be expected to arise from the
trade ; and he would take the sense of the House on
this part of the questi• n,
Lord CASTLEREAGH replied, that it vi ould be
impossible not to have some regulation on this subject.
The House then divided—For Lord Castlereagh's
Amendment 122—Against it 19.
The 12th Resolution was also agreed to, after
many observations.
The 13th (respecting the propagation of Christia-
nity) gave rise to a long desultory conversation, which
lasted till four in the Morning. Lord CASTLEREAGH,
and others, wished the Resolution to pass without
discussion for the present; others were for the amplest
discussion ; whilst others again wished for an adjourn-
ment, to give opportunity for sufficient discussion.
Lord CASTLEREAGH at length said, that
whenever many felt a strong wish to discuss a ques-
tion, it was impossible to prevent discussion ; and,
therefore, he should wish to postpone it for the pre-
sent, and pass over to the 14th Resolution.

The I.lth Resolution was then agreed to, and the
debate on the 13th adjourned till Tuesday.
It was then orde*ed, that the thirteen Resolutions
agreed to, should be communicated to the Lords, and
leave was given to bring in a Bilr or Bills founded
Upon them.—Adjourned at FOUR O'CLOCK.

CADIZ PAPERY.

PALERMO, APRIL 9.

The occurrences which took place in our palace in
Mych last, in other nations have prOduced popular
commotions, outrages, andlnurders ; but here, of
they have been succeeded by a marvellous
calm. The King, by the advice of the Anti-British
Party, suddenly presented himself in Palermo, and
was received with lively applause by a multitude col-
lected for that purpose, and, at a public place, a
Royal dials itch announced, that he returned to resume
the reins of Government, which, under pretence of ill
ness, had been confided to his slit, the hereditary Prince.
The following day his Majesty was going in public
to return thanks to the MOST HIGH, and it was feared
some ill-disposed pin-sons would excite disturbances;
but Lord W. Bentinck aiming informed his Majesty
how necessary it was he should suspend his going
out, and the English troops with their artillery hav-
ing entered, the King did not go out, and the English
retired from the city with the greatest tranquillity.
Four days his Majesty remained- in the city, during
which the altercations between the King and British
Minister were very great. The Secretaries remained
shut up, and the State in anarchy, till the King pro-
ceeded to his country-house, without ordering an 7
thing; in consequence of which, joined to the suspi.
cion that it was his intention to join the Queen at Cas-
telbeltrano, his country-house was surrounded by
British troops, the Officer commanding whom had
an audience with his Majesty, after which they re-
tired. The other day a Royal Order was published,
charging his Son, the Prince of Sicily, with the Re-
gency as formerly, and 3000 English here set out
!or Castelbeltrano, where they will remain till the Ist
of June. when the Queen embarks.
