EAST-INIIA BILL.

Mr. LUSHINGTON brought up the Report of
the East-India Bill.

On the question that it be read,
Mr. W. KEENE said, that though he could not
indulge the hope that at that period of the Session,
in that advanced stage of the Bill, any considerable
alterations would be admitted in its enactments, he
yet felt it his duty to protest against a measure which
appeared to him so pregnant with mischief to the in-
terests of this country, both in Europe and Asia.—
Very fallacious hopes were indulged of commercial
advantage from an unrestricted intercourse with In-
dia, as would appear from the circumstance of great
numbers of artisans being scattered through the dif-
ferent Presidencies, ♦rho were all able to manufacture
those articles which it was proposed to export ; there
were also documents to prove that there were sixteen
millions in the hands of the natives of Bengal, ready
to be employed in such a manner as would most pro-
mote the manufactures of that country. The Hon.
Member then commented on that part of the Bill
which related to the missionary system, contending
that it would be productive of many evils, unless the
utmost precaution was used, and maintaining that
the happiness of the natives was best consulted by
the British Government in India, deriving their
power from that House, but not shackled by injuri-
ous regulations.
Mr. ELLIS was anxious that some provision
should be made to guard the West-India Merchants '
from the ruinous effect of the open trade to India—
particularly in the articles of sugar and coffee—and
he wished that the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) would'
afford some explanation on that head. He was un-
willing to press him ; hut he was desirous of learning
whether it was in the contemplation of his Majesty's
Ministers to make such an increase in the duties on
ti.e articles he had mentioned, as would keep pace
with the increased facility of importing them from
the East Indies. He did not ask to know the precise
amount sf duty, but merely whether such a principle
would be recognized?
Lord CASTLEREAGH replied that it had been
the object of his Majesty's Government to confine the
enactments as much as 'possible to India alone, and
to apply their attention to other collateral points in
a future Session. He had no difficulty, however, in
stating, that the attention of Ministers had been seri-
ously directed to the subject mentioned by the Hon.
Gentleman ; and it was their opinion, that the two
articles of sugar and coffee should remain as near

their present footing as possible, leaving an detail
connected with the question to a future occasion,
when if might be more fully and advantageously exa-
mined and discussed.
Mr. HOWARTH had expected, from the speech
of the Noble Lord when he opened this question to
the House, that they should not have been confined
to the clashing interests and commercial squabbles of
the Company and the outports, while they utterly
overlooked and neglected all those points which rela-
ted to the internal policy of India, as it regarded the
administration of justice, agriculture, police, or natio-
nal improvement. He could not help lamenting that
the whole scope, aim, and object appeared to be, to
lay the East-India Company prostrate at the feet of
the Bo ird of Controul, and, by an overbearing sys-
tem of licenses, to overthrow all those constituent
checks which had hitherto existed against the prepon-
derating and undue influence of the Crown. The
precipitation with which the Bill had been hurried
through the House WAS equally the subject of regret
and reprehension. With respect to the principle, as
it was not practicable to increase to a considerable
degree the exports to India, how was the national
capital to be employed, as described by the Noble
Lord ? The British merchant was not so welcome
in India as the foreign merchant, because he could
not take bullion thither. He denied that the East-
India Company could now be considered as mono.
polists, wimever might have been their original cha-
racter. Having created an extensive commerce—
having swept every hostile banner from the penis snla
of India—having established a solid empire—it was
suddenly discovered that the Estit-Inditi Company
were an unfit instrument of Government ! They h td
been making great exertions to acqatre an erten:Ave
territorial possession, to which they were now to be
told that they had not a shadow of right I It would
I be much more proper to p iss a short including
the two first clauses of the measure be.ore the House,
and to reserve the consideration of that import ,nt
part of the measure which followed to the nest Ses-
sion of Pat Hamelin
Mr. R. THORNTON stated, that the rismmons
of the Court of Proprietors of East•ledia stock jot
to-morrow, was, although premature, out of respect
to that body. The Chas ter was far from every tiring
he could wish. Th.: East-India C,nyarty had been
sacrificed to the clamours of the On India flan
been the envy of I3onap trte, and the conseqoence
the Berlin and Milan Decrees w..s tae si.iaaii,n in
which the East India Cernail.:. were piaced.—
Headmitied, however, that t:.e investigation at tha
Bar of that House and in the Lou= ace
h..d been serviceable, as it wool J, he trusted, lit ter
unwary adventurers from engag..ng in a confiner ce
which must be destructive to t::ein. 'I k,ast.l :daft

of the E tst• India Company.
The Report was then read. Various amendments
; were proposed and agri el to. •
On oete ot the clauses which respected religion,
Mr. A. ROBINSON deprecated t:ie c .nsequences
of sty measure whic:i might appear to noel tete with
the religion of the n itives. He knew from ninet va-
Lions, that any discontent among the native troops
had hitherto been most easily suppressed by recalling
to their minds the care which h id been taken to secure
to ti.etri the unmolested exer..ise of their own religion.
lie did not attribute to Government any wish to inter-
fere wick the religion 'of the natives, but the tendency
weu.d be injutiotis. He m:tved to omit tiom the
phrase in the clause, ‘• to introduce useful and reli-
stun, knowledge" the words a and religious."
Lord CAS I'LER EAGH opposl this amendment.
The intention of Parli-ment WAS distinctly marked in
the Bill. The same sentiment as that which the Bill
now contained was proclaimed on the grant of the
last Charter, with tais difference, that in tire former
case the declaration was general, whereas now it was
accompanied with a specific stipulation in favour of
the natives. He could see no ground whatever for
the alarm on tais subject that seemed (he had no
doubt with the best motives) to agitate the breasts of
some lion. Gentlemen. He trusted the House
would not accede to the amendment ; and he regret-
ted that the question had again been brought under
diseussiou.
Mr. FORBES having already given his opinion
pretty fully on this siroject, sinnitel content hiniselt at
present with reading .-xtracts from some letters which
he had received from Gentiemen who had resided
long in India, and were competent judges ot the ef-
fect of such a measure. One of those letters stared,
that 44 it was madness to send out Missionaries to In-
dia for the purpose of converting them to Christia-
nity, which was impracticable.—and as to morality,
the natives of India had much more of that than the
generality of the people of this country." Another
extract of a letter which he read commenced by stat-
ing, that it appeared as if Bonaparte must have had
some influence in originating this measure, for the
purpose of exciting a massacre of the Europeans—
(a laugh.) He himself believed, that ninety-nine out
of an hundred who had been in India, would be found
adverse to this plan.
After a few explanations between Lord CASTLE.
REAGH and Mr. Foams,
Mr. STEPHEN said, that even the witnesses
which those Gentlemen themselves produced, b.,:e
testimony to the peaceable ,lemeancur and harelless
conduct of the Missionaries who were its India ; a:td
so far confirmed the distinction which had been taken
bet,ween. the voluntary exertions of individuals and
the interference of Government. The natives of In-
dia were often stated in that House as great readers
of English newspapers, and very apt tin be alarmed
by discussions in that Howe. That doctrine, how-
ever, now appeared to be abandoned, and the alarm
was to proceed, not from the d.scussion, but from
these two words being in the Pell. It appeared to
him, however, that nothing would be more
than that this country should be afraid of doing that
which the French, the Dutch, the Portuguese, and
every other nation which traded to India, had not
been afraid to do. The idea of Bonaparte's having
any influence in producing this measure was strange
enough—but it would appear to him, that Bonaparte
would have a much greater handle against the cows-

try if he could state to the Christian world, that we
were so selfish and pusillanimous, that we dared not
allow the Christian religion to be propagated in In-
dia, for fear that it would injure our commercial Ir.
terests. The Scriptures had given the commif.i.
44 Go ye forth to all the world, and preach to every
creature." Would it now be said, that no man must

go ford; to the 60 millions of Indians under our' pr,.•
tection, or talk to them of Christianity ? It had Len
said to be impracticable to convert them; but it ax-
peared that no less than nine hundred tlinuar.l
them had been converted in India, besides the C'htis

tians in Ceylon. He then dwelt for some Lace or.
the solitary instance of the mutiny of Veil v bids
he maintained to have been occasioned by the cc a,
duct of the Commander in Chief on that station ;
and that the changes which were prcpused were felt
as a civil degradation, as well as conceived to be the
beginning of a system for fircing them to Lecome
Christian, or rather to abjure the Genteo religior.,
as they could perceive uo sort of religious wuv.:::p
among ti:e generality of the Europeans in India.—
Was it to be believed that all the Learned Judge lvd
stated was false ? if false, it was not to be believed.
but it would !rive been contradicted by the eloquent
advocate of the Hindoos, who a ited them to be most:
noble and etcellent—so goof, that Christianity could
not make them better. Notwithttanding S.r Wu%
Jones went out with the warmest feelings in thcit
favour, yet even he was obliged reluctantly to con-
fess their general depravity. His leas ned tiiend (Sir
James Mackintosh) had given an account ot a wo-
man, who had perjured herself most grossly, and
when asked what she thought of false swearing, said
that she nadastood the English nation held it in ab•
hon.:nee, but the reople o' her country did not enter-
tain such opinions. The Hon. Member said, he was
aware that all persons who stated that they loved re-
ligion for its own sake were called Fanatics or Saints.
Inn he begged of Gentiemer. not to oppos: the afford-
ing the bencticont light d Christianity to the Indians
foam fear of any such oprolmo•is appellations. The
arguments of the opposers ot the kesoluti,n, hari.
aatiough he was aware it was not their tntenti.
a tendency to depreciate Christianay ; bnt he called
tt;on theca not merely as Christians, but as stovers of
human race, to cae:t thcmsclves to destroy
C.:Li most degrading badge, such as ,ad never wevighed
di .wn any other r.41:0n, he me int that Of Casts, and
nut to oppee. that clause, which only gave the power
to his Majc•Ety's Government, to permit persons to
:;.,) -lit to India, who were actuated by the best of
:nntiVts.

Mr. TIERNEY heard with great pain the Hon.
m ler charging those Gentlemen who opposed the
Resolution with being the enemies of Christianity.—
He, for his pat t, and he appealed to his life to prove
it, was as warmly disposed to extend Christianity as
any Gentleman; and if he thought, in giving his
vote against the cl ruse, he was impeding the progress
of Christianity, be would not give it ; but he thought
his proposition would rather forward the views of the
Hon. Gentleman. The Resolution had originally
been without any mention of religion he wished to
know of what use the preamble was ? he was favour-
able to Christianity, and he did not know any Gen-
tleman of whom the Hon. Member had a right to
make a contrary charge.—(Hear, isear.)—lt was
easy to say, that there was no danger to our Chris-
tian brethren in India, but he could not, contrary to
the body of evidence, which had not been contradict-
ed, feel so secure on the subject. His objection was,
not to the establishment ot Christianity, but to the
procl,timing it. It was the opinion of many eminent
persons that there would be great danger in a legis-
lative enactment, and iu his opinion the preamble
was riot of the least value ; he wished any Gentleman
would prove that it was.
Mr. WILBERFORCE said, the clause without
the preamble would be unfavourable to their views.
It would look as it Parliament had altered its opinioa
from the sense of the danger. Formerly the silence
of the Legislature had been insisted un as an argu-
ment by Major Scott Waring, that it was not the
wish of the Legislature that any attempt should be
made in India to propagate Christianity. It they
struck out the preamble, it would appear as if the
principle were given up. Gentlemen, by throwing
out this clause, would also shut out knowledge and
science, and the circulation ot the Gospel in the In-
dian language, fiom which he eepected more than
hom the direct labours of the Missionaries. Ot all
opposition, he disliked the opposition of those most.
who said we agree in principle, but differ as to the
method. He did not mean that his Right Hon.
Friend (Mr. Tierney) was not sincere in his approba-
tion of the principle, but he cceld out help recollect-
ing that he was an old stager.
Mr. FAWCETT was against the amended clause.
The House then divided. For the amended Rese-
helot., 48—Against it, 21—Majority, 2i.
On the motion of Mr. Rose, after a long conver-
sation, in winch Mr. R. Small, Mr. ATKINS, Lord
Caseeeitseun, Mr. itir LLt,tt, and Mr. Footles took
a part, it wac agreed, that the time in wl cif India.
built ships should be admitted, sneuld be enlarged
from the 10th of April to the Ist ot Augzeit, 1514,
unless some provision should bc made in the -next
Session.of Parliament resdectieg the same.
11r. R. SMITH theti moved a proviso, that if any
India-built vessel should sail from India within a year
alur the passing of the Act, se- sti,huld ue tree front
forteiture whenever she should arrive in Great Britain.
After some discussion the preveo was adopted.
Mr. R. SMITH then suggested an alteration in
the appropriation clause, the h Ups-1 of 'a hich V.O; is
YiltinglliSh mere accurately the comme.-cial Mid ter•
iitorial revenues.
Mr. TIgRNEY supported it, on the zreund of
the necessity of a clear distinction to pi event suture
disputes.
Lord CASTLE REAGH said it was .in arrange-
ment now in consideration between th: Dnectoisan4
the Board of Control.
Lord A. HAMILTON took the same Lreund
with Mr. Tierney.
Mr. R. hMITH then agreed to pr,pote it on the
third reading. When all tne clauses were dispos.d ot;
Mr. LUSHINGTON brought up a clause to nut
the prisons educated at Heatord, on ihe s.iue !out-
ing with those who go directly to Lodi inakng
those who had served tour years eligible to ',laces of
.f.:1500 per annum ; those vele) had served seven, to
.163000 per annum ; and those who had tesiUc.l ten
years, to fe44.)00.
This was opposed by Mr. C RANT and Mr. R. S NI t rit,

I

and a division took Place--i'or the clause,
Against it, 6.
Mr. A. ROBINSON brought tip a Clause to abo-
lish the present method of deciding questions in the
Court of Directors: When there is an equality, the
Treasurer's lot determines the point, and this even
in the most important cases, even of peace and war.
He proposed that no question should be decided, ei-
cept by a majority of votes, and that ah equality
should operate to the rejection of a measure.
Lord CASTLERtAG'H expressed his approba-
tion of the clause, s.tying it was a disgrace to a deli-
berative assembly to deterinine its questions by lot or
chance.

The clause Was then agreed tn.
Mr. R. SMITH introduced a clause for the Dime-
!ors to lay annia!llf before Parliament a Cope of their
Government Regulations in India.

The House continued to make amendments to the
Bill for a very considerable length of time, after
%%Melt the Report was agreed to, and on the question
that the Bill be read a third time to-morrow—

Mr. R. SMITH oppose-d it, on the ground that it
would be impossible for Members to have it in their
power to consider the amendments, so numerous as
they were, in so short a time.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, the amendments,
though numerous, were of that verbal nature, that
every one might very won understand them.
Mr. P. MOORE thought the conduct of the Noble
Lord in now preasing this Bill so precipitately
through the House, was contrary to the pledge he
had given on a former night, that the Court of Pro.
prietors should have time allowed to consider whether
they would accept the Bill or not. The Noble Lord
knew well that a special Court of Proprietors was to
meet to-morrow, to give their opinion on the Bill
with the amendments made in the Committee. There
bad on this evening been an amazing number of
utnendments made on the report, in addition to those
made in the Committee. It would, therefore, be it'll-
possible the Court of Proprietors could have an op-
portunitY of forming any opinion on those. He
trusted, therefore, the Noble Lord would not press
the third reading very precipitate a manner,
which would ha a direct dereliction of his promise
given on a former night.
The question was then put by the SPEAKER, and
the Bill ord-red to be read a third rime to-mo.ro
ifolwn engrossed.
Tic other Oi ders of the Day were then disposed
of, and the House Adjourned.

A report of some person of high distinction in the

Mails from Lisbon -and Cadiz arrived List night,
viLleh we have received intelligence of consider-
able interest. Th.:- accounts from Cadiz state, that
Sir JOHN MURRAY, after establishing batteries against
Tarragona on the Bth June; had re-embarked, in con-
:equence of the ad?ance of the enemy in greater
farce against him. The Allies on this occasion lost
only a fcm pieces of artillery, and they seem to have
left a garrison in the Col de Balaguer, a small fort
in the vicinity of Tarragona. •
The foliwr.tag are extracts from the above Mails,
in addition to those in the preceding page :

" CADIZ, JUNE 23.

Catalonia, we learn, that the expedition which sailed
from Alicant, consisting of 1.1,000, landed without
opposition near Tarragona, there being but a very
weak garrison; the battering train was also landed,
aad two batteries erected, which w re shortly after
dismounted, and in consequence of its being known
that Suchet was in full march to succour the place
•A-ith a very considerable force, our troops set about

Suchet, previous to setting out, said in the fortress uf
