through a Cofntnittee, and was reported without

The I..OIt.D.•ptIANCELLOR observed, with
respect to Lprd'Ellenbniongh's temporary Insolvent
Bill, thAt it would be necessary to make some altera-
tions in it, in order chat the two Bills might go on
together, and with the view that there might be no
delay he raved, Tel Standing Orders be taken
into consideratiOn to=morrow and Friday, so that
the temporary Bill might, if necessary, pass through
two stages in one day, Altd•At allevents be passed on
Friday.
Lord REDESDALE was of opinion that his
amended Bill would remove all the ditficulties that
had occurred in the execution of she Act of last Ses-
sion, but lie acknowledged that time and experience
could alone render the permanent system pewiect.—
He was therefore willing to agree to the temporary
Bill, with the alterations snggested, in order that a'
spetdy, discharge might take place of the debtors at:
pret, sent in custody, with the thorough understanding
tha 00. temporarylosolveAt Bin would be again re-
iorted to by the Legislature, Pn the subject to which
he had adverted Ott aTorsatcr night, respecting the
Marshal of the King's Bench not having obeyed the
order of the Commissitto, or assigned
.any reason.
'for such conduct, he had been watted upon by the
Marshal, who stated to him that he did send an apo-
logy to Mr. Seljeant Palmer. He (Lord Redes-
dale) not think' the apologl, snfficient, but
geltainly the sending an apology. 'italic an alteration
in the case.
Lord._ gLLENBOROPGH said it was the far-
thest from-his intention to advocate the conduct of
any individual who disdoeyed the law, but gaolers
acting at their own peril, might reasonably entertain
doubts until better informed, as to whether they
might be liable to an escape for bringing up their
prisoner; under the authority of this Court. He had,
however, no doubt that under the Act of last Session,
as it stood, they- would be completely indemnified in
acting ender the authority of the Court constituted
.by the Act, and the point had been settled in the
Court of King's Bench •a few days since by a deci-
sion to that effect. There could, therefore, no longer
be any difficulty noon this head. With respect to
- his temporary Bill, he was willing to agree to the al-
terations snggeoed, in order that the two Bills niight
go on tc.gether. .
The LORD CHA.NCET.LOR stated, that he
}tad nn doulit xeliatever that gaolers acting under the
authority of the Court constituted by the Act of last
Session would be completely indemnified for any act
done under such authority, With respect to the
temporary Bill, the alterations he proposed to Make
would be short, in the first place to introduce a new
prearnble, that there might be nothing in it of the
tepeal of an .tct which the House had agreed to
athend, and then to add a clause or two•to regulate
the mode in which persons who had gone through
the forms under the Act of last Session, might apply
for relief under this Bill, The two Bills might thus
be passed together. -
Lord HOLLAND, after the candour which had
been dieplAyed, felt himselicalled opon.no longer to

sick. With respect to what he had stetted regarding
the Marshal of the King's Bench, he had received a
letter from that Geutleman, mentioning, that he had
sent an apology to Mr. Serjeant Palmet, for not
bringing up his prisci:” rs as ordered ; and the fact,
therefore, of liaviug stilt an apology, so far rade an

ject referred to by the Hon. Member would demand
I the immediate attention 9f parliament. But at pre-
sent, when no foreign competition existed, it was
deemed more adviseable, on various ground`, that
our mercha4ts should bring, their Indian cxrgoes to
England—should make this country the emporium
of trade, aid hence to talce the Indian produce to the
Continent, with an assortment of other articles of our
produce and manufacture, and so prove advantage-
ous to our general commerce. If, hnwever, Ameri-
ca or any other State were trading with the East, there
could not be, in his judpnent, any successful resist-
' ance to the I-143. Member's Rrinciple. He trusted,
I that the commerce of foreigners with our Eastern
territories would never be prohibitei ; but as it w.s
known that America wild not, and that for reasons
1 unnecessary to detail, nu European State was likely
! for some time to engage in any Indian trade, it not
being necessary immediately to press the principle '
maintained by the Hon. Member to the extent of his
desire. When, however, the trade of foreigners with
India should be resumed, he had no doubt that Par-
liament would be found attentive to the claim of the
British merchant, and that foreigners would not be
allowed to enjoy any such preference as the Hon.
Member so justly deprecated.

could not 'see upon what ground they could feel any

cause the object-of such extension was not to inter-

reigners, to whom it was impossible the India Com-
pany could be disposed to grant any preference.

EAST-INDIA TRADE.
Lord CASTLERE4GH moved the second read-
ing of the East-India Trade Regulation Bill.
Mr. FINLAY rose not, he said, to oppose the
motion, but-to submit some observations upon the
line of policy to which the measure referred. It
seemed extraordinary that the British merchants were
in all cases upon at least an equality with foreigners,
excepting in places under the dominion of our India
Company ; and it must strike every reflecting equi.
table man with surprise, that such a system of ine-
quality should be allowed to exist with regard to ter-
ritories acquired and maintained by the British areas,
in which indeed so much British Fapital was invested.
By the Act of last Sessions it was no doubt provided
that British merchants were allowed to trade with
India, but under very many restrictions and limita-
tions, from which. foreign merchants trzdieg to the
East were entirely free. The foreigner, for instance,
was at liberty to trade to India in a vessel of any
size he thought proper, and to take his home cargo
for sale to any market in Europe, or elsewhere.—
From this advantage, it was notorious that America
and other States derived considerable benefit. In fact,
to the profits which it yielded, the means which Ame-
rica possessed of waging ,her present unnatural war
with. this country might, in a great measure, be at-
tributed. But he confessed himself (rite unable to
understand the grounds of such policy as would allow
any foreigners to enjoy ad-ante:es of trade with our
own territories from which British merchants were
excluded. Yet, by the present Bill it was proposed,
to sanction such exclusion by proaibiting British mer-
chants from crrying India produce to any European
ports, while foreigners, as he before- observed, pre-
sessed that very material advantage. The clisadyan-
tage of such an arrangement to British merchants
could not be disputed ; for it was perfectly ;leer that
no British merchant would bring East India sugar,
or other articles of India produce; to the port of Lon-
don, if he were not compelled to do so, particularly
while he could dispose of such articles on so much bet-
ter terms at Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and other
places, to which, however the foreign merchant THE HAGUE, NOVEMBER 22.
