for him. (Lard W. Bentinck) to speak in adequate terms
of the noble mind, thOabsence of *Web the nation de-
plored, but it was.not unbecoming in him to express his
feelings on the subjett—(Cheers). He begged to state,
that he felt the great responsibility-of the situation to
which he had been appointed, and that he would ese
his utmost etideavours to perform its duties to the suit-
faction of the public. His constant object would be to
fulfil the intentions of the great Statesman to whom be
bad alludar&tuid to merit the approbation of those who
had actechipon that parrint'S recommendation. There
was another ding to which he thought it necessary to
tall the attendees of the Company whom be bad the
honotn: to-address. His Government would close with
the Charter of the East India Company—swith the ter-
mination of the honout able monopoly in which they
Were engaged. He should,-during his Governorship in
India, be enabled to judge whether any system would be
likely to prove equally or more beneficial to the countries
which were interested in Eastern affairs? and he would
act upon that knowledge. He would, in fast, direct all
the powers of mind of which he was. capable to the great
theme of the interests of Great Betain—(Cheers). He
•knew that if he performed the duties of which he had
spoken, he should meet with the approbation of Go-
vernment, of the E ist India Company, and of the coon-
n7. He would calculate upon that approbation: and he
Misted that he should retort) with strong and unequi-
vocal claim to public confidence. He felt grateful for
the instance of confidence trith !which he had already
met, with this strong exhibition of feeling towards him,
and he knew that it would never be abused—(Cheers).
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of Lord
Goderich, and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers, which
was drank with three times three, and very warmly.
Lord Beater returned thanks. His Noble Friend
(Lord 6Jderich), be was sure, regretted much his ina-
bility to attend upon this joyful occasion. The Noble
Lord whose appointment they were celebratin; was
known to be admirably qualified for the siteation in
aeltich be was placed. Has services to the public had
Hera most important : it would be injustice not to re-
ward them by a brilliant distinction—..and that reward
now awaited him in the magnificent government of the
gest. He (Lord Bexley) trusted that the words of the
Honourable Chairman would be verified with respect to
the Noble Lord, and that upon the return of his Lord-
ship be would be hailed with enthusiasm, as a man who
bad execated a great public mission with zeal, ability,
and success—(Cheers).
Lord Baxtey then proposed the health of the Chair.
man of the East India Company—(Three times three.)
The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks. He declared
that nothing in the woild could give him greater satis-
faction than the knowledge that he performed the duties
of his station to the satisfaction cf his colleagues. The
Hon. Gentleman then proposed the health of the Right
Honourable Charles Williams Wynn, and the test of the
Commissioners for the Affairs of India—(Three times
three.) -
Mr. Putuassoaz returned thanks. Ile declared, that
the First Commissioner was animated by" the sincerest
wish for the benefit of our eastern empire. The inte-
rests, in fact, of thii country were so deeply interwo-
ven with those of Indiarthat it was impissible to ima-
gine them-capable of being separated from each othei
without being- destroyed. In selecting for the Govern.
ment of India the Noble Lord who had consented to
take upon himself the responsibility. the greatest judg-
ment had been displayed. The maihness of his con-
duct upon all occasions of public service, the valour
with which he had conducted himself on the continents
of Asia and of Europe, the noble principles by which
be was always known to have been actuated, all con-

tributed to render him peculiarly well adapted to the
extensive and difficult superintendence of Indian affairs,
and excited a persuasion that he would promote the
happiness and prosperity of the most extraordinary
empire that ever the sun shone upon.—(Cheers.) None
could have been more desirous of the appointment of
the Noble Lord than those who constituted the board
who had been just honoured by the approbation of the
compassy.

Captain Gnoato; they bokh eine in it days, from
Smyrna, and set sail to-day ftw Trieste. They bring a
confirtnatioo of all that we have hewed through c.ther
channels respecting the Egyptian espedltion and the
English squadron ; Lord Cochrane is reported to have
been seen a few days ago with about 20 sail, between
Cephalonia and Missolonghi."
The Oriental Spertator of Sept. 1, contains a letter
from one of its subscribers to the Editor, in reply to an
article of the Greed Bee, published at Hydra, respecting
the proceedings of the Austrian Commodore Count
Dandolo, to recover four Austrian merchantmen cap.
tared by the Greeks, and carried into Spezzii. The
writer enters into a long analysis of the article in the
Bee, which, with the exception of the fact that the ships
.were given up, he declares to be a tissue of exaggeration
and falsehood from beginning to end.
The Oriental Spectator annexes' to the letter of its'
correspondent some reflections on the conduct of the
'Spezziot cruisers, and the right they assume. to stop and
search neutral ships at sea. " What," asks the Uriental
Spectator,',ll that the Prix: Court that was appointed at
Napoli ? What is its code, its maritime and commercial
law ? What security does it offer to the defence of the
interests upon which it is to decide? How c.•n any
man venture to speak of this Tribunal, since a number
of judgments which we have in our hands, which we
could produce, aid which we will produce if required,
furnish a proof that this Tribunal is nothing but a
scandalous mockery, a cloak contrived to cover piracy,
since most of their sentences were not passed till the
pirates bad already unloaded the vessels at Hydra and
Sp•zz's, and the cargoes, respecting the capture o'
whirl the Court was to decide, were irretrievably
scattered and lost.'

The Ay:lrian Observer remarks, in a note to the
above:—" Few of our readers perhaps know that the
Oriental Spedator, which has been published since Ist
July this year, has nothing in common with the Journal
that appeared for some years under this title, except the

Stx months bare scarce►y elapsed since the general
stagnation of commerce, the depreciation of property,
the destruction of public credit, and the diseased state
of England's paramount interests, peculiarly required,
and called into active exercise, every faculty of judg-
ment and of foresight in those who held the reins of
Administration, to extricate the country from her peri•
loos situation.

England required not aid in vain; under Autionrr
PROVIDRNCE, prompt measures and enlightened minds
soon resuscitated her fallen powers: Commerce revived,
Enterprise put forth her latent vigour, and public con-
fidence resumed its firm and stable footing. Having
steered the &ate vessel safely through the rocks and
shallows that menaced its course, into deep and eons-
paratively tranquil waters, the wearied Pilots promised
themselves repose after their arduous toil and labour.
But repose, it seems, is not their lot; a new care de•
mands no less assiduous attention--one of no less aw-
-1 ment than the future fate of the Irish populace.
We know of no question of similar importance which
has for the last twenty years attracted public notice,
with more potent claims to mature consideration on
the part of the Government, or one, the complicated
nature of the attending difficulties of which was so cal-
culated to embarrass, so peculiarly constituted to die
courage those attempting the task of deciding it.
It seems that Emigration is the adopted remedy for
the evil, caused at present at least, by a redundancy of
population. Now it is objected to this, that as the
number proposed to be yearly emigrated, amounts to
less than half of the annual increase, the measure will
prove by no means an efficient antidote. In reply t•
this objection we are told that accompanying steps will
be taken to guard against this future increase, or lessen,
at least, its amount.

Now if we may judge of the whole by a part, we can
form but a very unsatisfactory opinion of these said pre.
ventive measures. For instance, the truly ingenious
scheme of palling down the old cabins by way of ar.
resting the progress of population appears to us rather a
wild goose plan. The. Irish, in their manners of life.
perhaps more nearly resemble rabbits than any other
animal to which they could be compared. Nor do we
imagine that an attempt to restrain propagation among
them by means of stopping up a few burrows in a war.
ten, would prove much more successful than the scheme
of demolishing the mod cabins.
• Many say that emigration, by the fear of its recur-
rence, will act as a check to the overflow log of the,
people. Now this really appears a most extraordinary
sort of reasoning, Which is the greatest evil, starve.
lion at Lome, or plenty abroad ?—We presume the
former. It then with famine in all the plenitude of its
horrors before their.eyes, without the most distant pros►
pect of relief, the Irish have for the last ten years. with
misery and wretchedness for their only bequest, gone
on marrying and multiplying, it seems strange that
just as the tide of fortune turns, and relief, continued re-
lief. appears in view, they should immediately set about
reforming their measures and curbing their passions.
Now if these auxiliary Measures, and these logical
theories fail, the one in effect, and the other in practice,
we greatly fear, however necessary emigration may be,
it must be on a larger scale before permanent good can
be effected.
