In pursuance of public notice, a Quarterly Ge- neral Court of the East India Company, was this day held, which was made specia', for the purpose of laying before the Proprietors, " the communi, cations which have taken place between his Majes- ty's Government and the C urt of Directors, re- specting the renews! - f the Company's Charter." The Resolution of the Court of Di. reflors of the 26rh of February, 1812, acquitting Captain Mere, dyih, the Officers and crew of the ship Ceylon, irom any bla'meable imputation respecting the cap- ture of the said ship was affirmed ; after a few words from Mr. Smith, who wished to know whe- ther it was intended to remunerate the Captain, Office's, and crew, for their gallant defence of the vessel ? A question, which Mr. Bosanquit, the Chairman, Considered as not pioper to be then entertained, the Court being summoned for a spe- cial purpdst. This business having been dispos- ed of,' Mr. Bosanquet snid, they were then come to that point, which, he apprehended, had been al- ready sufficiently announced in the public papers, v. here it was st- Ued that rhe Court was assembled for the purpose of laying before the Proprietors the communication; which had taken place be- twen Government and the Court of Directors, respecting. the renewal of the Charter. To save the time pf the C-' iurt, as this coriespondence was extremely long, the Deputy Chairman and him- jf self had footed over it with c. ire and attention, and selefied those parts which did not comprise any material points, for the purpose of being omitted in ' he reading. He conceived the Ttill substance of all the proceedings which had taken place, was contained in the correspondence, which • would be read to the Court— but, that they might h > In complete possession of the whole negociiuion, the Court of Directors had given orders for print- irg all the documents, which, he hoped, would be ready bf1 to- morrow mornin'g. He therefore pro- posed, that the papers should be read in the rirde. he alinded to. The papers were then read, in the following series;— No. 1. A Letter from the Chairman and Deputy Chair- man of the Court of Directors to the Right Honourable Robert Dundas, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, doted in September, 1803, for the purpO'C cf ascertaining whether Government were then willing to agitate the ques- tion of the renewal of the Company's Charter. No. 2. A Letter from the same to the same, dated Ofl. 12, 1808, stating, that it was the general sense of the Com- pany that the Charter should be renewed as early a possible. With respect to any modifications of the existing system, they should be gl » d to learn what was intended to be pro- posed by Government At the same time expressing a hope that none would be introduced, tending to alter the princi- ple of Government at present acted upon in British india, and which was so essential to its interest. To minor points they would willingly attend, and give them the foil weight i| which they should appear to demand. No 3. A Letter, bearing date the 16th December, 1808 :| from same to the same.— It is stated, that in consequence of what had occurred at a conference which was held with Mr. Dundas, on the 13th of September, 1808, and of the letter which had h.' en transmitted ro him on the 12th of October following, thev felt it their duty to apprise the Directors of | what had occurred—[ the prior business had been managed i by. a Secret Committee of Correspondence]— and they were j then ready to enter into any discussion on the subject. They conceived the following principles, in any agreement, should be acceded to :— 1st. As the Government of British India had been looked upon as eminently beneficial to that country. Und- r it the welfare of the people had been secured, and the peculation greatly increase.! It provided, with . singular faci ity, for the formation of a body of upright European servants. While the Constitution of the Indian army ha i been the means of producing officers of high military tulehts. Under these cir- cumstances, no material change in the system of Govern- ment ought to be proposed. 24ly. The right of the Company to the Indian territory, which they had procured at such an immense expense, should not be questioned : it was a right which had always been allowed, and which they felt it their duty to m iir: iain. Sdly. As the situation of the Company was very different from that in which they stood at the period © f the arrange- menftn 179S, corresponding provisions shouhl be made to meet their present exigencies. From that time to the pre- reasontng and details of the third Article. Nothing should be inserted in the Charter th t would tend to reduce the value of the Company's stock— and care should be taken that they should participate fully in any amelioration wh eh the general interests of India should receive— As to the fourth Article, relative to the liquidation of the India debt,, it was a measure of indispensable necessity to the Company and to the public. If the question ol their right to those territories were discussed, it would be impossible not to take into the account the great debt they had incurred in the acquisition and support of those territories But he would observe, that the assistance of the publie would be fruitless and delusive, unless by the exertions of their Governors rtbrnad, the ex- pences of the Company were reduced within their annual income. He had no hesitation in acceding, with some limi- tations, to tbe principle of the fifth Article. It was ab- urd to imagine that the Company could maintain a w r against . j France, supported by European an 1 Asian powers; aud, if the territory of India were valuable to this cqunrry, it was 1 J certainly right that she shonM cOntribu'e tw its d-' fence. As J to the sixth Article, he was not aware of any good reason lor ; extending the. Charter beyond such a limit, as, with the time at present unexpired, would make the period equal to that allowed in 1793. He would, however, atteud/ to^ any sug- gestion that nvghc be offered on rhe subject. He that pro- ceeded to make some general observations.' In the first plac-, he sta'ed that his Majesty's Ministers would not . make any proposition to Parliament as tn the (' barter, so long an the Company insisted On the exclusion of individuals, navi- i gating private ship;., from tbe trade to lrlilia, as was at pre- * s in the case.— Th « y would, however, 6till permit them to | prevent Europeans from settling in . tllcir Ionian territory, [ unless furnished with a licence from the C ' napapy, or allow- | ed so to do by the respective Governments. Ti, ey ejtoeCU- d I the Company's army to be placed under ' his Majesty's Coif, f troul. The princip'e they meant to a& on wus" the same as j ' hat on which the arrangements of 178 1 and l79: Jwe. • founded— by which the trade. o! India. sliuuld, be Reserved— a Government established, suited to the custonis and mart* nprs of the inhabitants, and the secu ity of. the Entire— I wiihout importing any greut degree < f power to the Execu- tive Government at heme, or increasing, to any dangerous extent, the influence of the Crown. moo, they referred to the general accounts of the trade of i sent Europe had been, with very little intermission, in a « {* lrei.& ht th. u' Pr° 7ided was very rarely made use of for sent R. urope IKU > ,., . . the export of'woollens or metals, but was chiefly appro- state of warfare, which had reached India—- and thus the ex- penses of the Company, both abroad and at home, were very m'ccb increased. Without inquiring into the policy of the wars in India, they would only observe, that they were not occasioned by the Executive Body of the Company, but proceeded from causes which they could not contioul. It was, therefore, to be hoped, that no measure would be adopted, which could reduce the value of their capital stock, and that they would be permitted fully to participate in the benefit resulting from any amelioration of their affairs under the new arrangement. They only received the legal interest of that money, which, as it had been loid out for the politi- cal security of the Indian empire, was, in fad, greatly bene- ficial to the country in general. 4thly, It was of great importance that provision stusuld be made for the liquidation of the India debt; and, probably, it would be necessary to ask the aid of the public for that purpose. Sufficient security for such aid was to be found in the Indian territory. Jthly, It was extremely important that the military ex- ' pences for which the Company and tbe Government w- uid in future he respectively liable, should be now duly appor- i t- oned. " i he influence of Earopeati war had more and more I i n- ended it- elf to India. A French and English army, coo- tending in lhat soil, could be considered in no ether point of j view than as engaged in a national struggle, and, therefore, I it should be supported by national funds. In a new Charter proper attention should be paid to it. 6chly, The speedy renewal of the Charter was a matter : of primary importance, as it would strengthen the hands of the Company; but, from existing circumstances, it would be necessary to extend the term to a greater length than was formerly allowed. No. 4.— A letter, dated the 18th December, 1803, from tbe Right Honourable R. Duuda ; to the Chairman and De- puty Chairman, in answer to the last. It set forth with stating, that it contained the ideas only of the writer, and was not to be considered as developing tbe plans contem- plated by his Majesty's confidential servauts. He concurred in the substance of the proposition contained in the fir t Ar- ticle of the letter of the 16th December. He had heard no argument against the system pursued by the East India Go- vernment sufficient to outweigh the great practical good which was derived from it. If any alteration therefore were made, it would probably be only in its details. It might, however, be thought advisable to extend the powers of the Board of Commissioners to proceedings in England,. if the it justice, and deriding the power of the Company. By fourth Article were adopted. As to the second point, there ! j means the confidence at present entertained in the British was no necessity to discuss the right of the Company fo the ' char*£ ter would be destroyed, and the subversion of their Indian territory. It was not possible to concur in all the ; Indian empire might be the consequence. It must U « o liav • No. 5.— A letter from the Chairman and TVputy Chair- man to the Right Hon. Robert Dnnifas, dated January 1.1, 1809, in answer to the foregoing. The letter, commenced with the observation, that the writers would abstain froni any di- citssioo uf minor points, as their attention was forcibly called to the two grt- at propositions with which Mr. Dun- d. is's communication Concluded. The first, sug£ n tihg - n enlargement of the trade IO Hritish India— and the second, the transfer of'the Indian army to his Majesty. If. thosfc proposit. uns were laid down' as what Government positively' intended to carry into execution, tiie Company would feel the greatest alarm, But, as it was stated, tbat it was their earnest wish to form ihe new arrangement on the basis of those of 1784 and 17.43. the Company were satisfied that they understood the proper mode of Government I6r ini. iia1 — and that they conceived those propositions were . either on a level with the principle on'which tbe former arrangements proceeded, or were reducible to it, But they wer- convinc- ed, that if those two ' propositions were ailed on by Govern- ment in the sense in which they seemed to have been con- ceived, it would not only occasion the destruction of the East India Company's rights, but would utterly overturn the sys- tem of 1784 and 1793. With respeCt to their opposition to the extension of the private trade, the Company were not aduated by any selfish motives of commercial jealousy.— Of late years the Indian irade, from the influx of European ma- nu'aCtures, the conmant wars, and various other causes, had decreased very much in value To the Company, therefore, the obje- Cl was not so great as had been generally stated — Their opposition arose from a firm conviction, that the ev. ls which the extension of the tra le would create, both to our European and Indian Empire, were infinitely greater than the benefits, which even the most sanguine person could ex- peCt to derive from it— benefits, however, which, they were sure, would never be realized. Before such an alteration was made, national advantages sliou d lie proved as likely to proceed i'l- oni it, and they ought to be contrasted with na- tional dangers The extension, as was evident could no; be of much service to the manufacturing interest, since til? re- cords of the Company, for two centuries, were filled with accouuts of their attempts to introduce the English - manu- factures, aud their failure. The Dutch and French had tried the same experiment, with similar sji cei- s. The Americans carried out scarcely any manufactures— they traded almost wholly with s Iver. Tnis appeared to have been the case since the time ot the Ramans— for tinjeartides of prime. ne- cessity to the natives of India were to. be procured so much cheaper in their own country than tJiey could be imported fiom any other,, that no encouragement . was given in manu- facturing speculations. Their wants were extremely lew- living principally on rice, and contented with a cloth round their bodies, they had no use for our manufailures. There were a number of persons residing on various parts of the Indian coast, termed coasting merchants, who were in the habit of dealing at different marts— at these marts it was j' theif. resources for paying bill's drawn on them from India would be great( y lessened. For all these reasons they could , not agree to a proposition which deprived them of all their j privileges, but they wouU willingly enter into a serious in- . qtiiry of what concessions coufd he mule, without trenching ! i on tiie principle of the arrangement in IT'S. The letter ; next adverted to the proposition for placing the Indian army ; under his Majesty. Tnis the Compariv resisted, on the | ground that it would produce dissatisfaction among the Se- poy Officers ( to form whom a long residence in India was i necessary) when they, saw young men who had purchased ; J their commissions promoted over their hea. ls:— which vyouli jj inevitably be tbe case if the Commander- in- Chief under the ; J Crown were vested with tbe power sought to be obtained. To prevent such a system, the pnlitary plan of the Marquis Cornwall** was produced in 1794. When they contem- plated the immense influence yyhich the addition of 14et, 000 men, manned by 3000 European Officers, each of them likely to be biassed by the mode of his appojpt. iaenr, must give to the Crown, they could not advise their epps'Ifuents to agree ( to snch a proposal, which, however, they Jipp. ed woi. isl. not be iij isied on.

British residents, and certainly could not be considered as J * surplus revenue to be appropriated to the payment the manulaCture of this ceuutry. This was a prerty clear proof that the opening would. m'it produce the beneficial effects which were expeCted. But it might be imagined that adventurers would find out new markets in India, which had hitherto been negleCled. When, however, it was re- colleCted, that, for three centuries, the Portuguese had been exploring that country— when ii was considered that the Dutch, Danes, trench, and English, had travelled oVer that immense empire, aud some of them bad penetrated even to Upper India— such a speculation must be considered vision- ary. For, many countries, supposed not much known, be- cause not visited by European ships, were supplied by pri- vate or inland trade. The letter then stated the different articles which the Company imported from India, spices, silk, & c. and it was inferred that the quantity imported by them was fully suffi- cient even for the consumption of Europe— and that no in- creased consumption could be expeCted in proportion to the number of ships employed ill the private trade. The only question was with respeCt to cotton, in its raw state; but ttiat of tbe East Indies could not be placed in competition with that of the Brazils or of- Georgia, and rhe country would certainly be supplied with the latter, if we remained at peace with America. Vessels, however, could not take ill a lading of cotton only, let it be ever so profitable, something more ponderous must be put on hoard, as a dead weight; and, if Ea- t India sugar were eniployi- d for that purpose, it would occasion a great loss. Where would a vent be found for it when our warehouses were already full ? If the trade were opened in the manner pioposed, it would lead to the entire subversion of the Company, both in its political and Commercial capacity ; and such speculations would take place in consequence, as must lead to the ruin of numbers. This was the case when the trade was opened by Oliver Crom- well, and also when the competition of the Old and the New Company existed in the beginning of the last century. But these were not the worst consequences— under the present system, a vessel sailing from any of the Presidencies was amenable to the laws of that Presidency. This, however, would no longer be the case, if private individuals were al- lowed to proc- ed from port to port— they might commit frauds and depredations on the natives, almost in security, being at too great a distance from Europe to be brought to ...... - .. i| of their debts, till they are reduced ro ten millions —.

He adverts to the proposition for renewing the Charter with the exclu- ive trade and ter- ritorial possessions, and tbe views of Government as ex- pressed on the subjeCl in 1808; but does not feel it requisite to enter minutely, into the argumei^ s and on behalf, of the Company. He touches OH two points of importance: thi^ ' first is the transfer cii the Company's army to the Crown, which, though strongly recommended by many, he considers : as a matter tor future arrangements the > ccond is the plan j frr transferring the India debt to this country, to enable ; ihem to meet their expe& ed demands He hopes the time } is come, since uncertainty as to the amount of che demands | is removed, for providing out of tbe Company's own re- 1 sources, without public ai 1, the means of satisfying their In- dian creditors If the Company are willing that the discus- sions on the charter shall proceed as delating to the trade on the principle he proposes, he is willing to rece. ve farther suggestions as to the mode to be pursued.

If this alteration should be with his Ma- I jesty's Ministers, an indispensible condition to proposing in Parliament the renewal of the Company's privileges, the ! Court would, though reluCtantly, offer this measure to the consideration of the Proprietors. They felt themselves, how- j ever, obliged to state their conviClroo, that although this • change might be attended with serious inconveniences to the wlio. e frame of their Government, it would not give to tbe nation tbo- e commercial advantages which nia. iy perooOs are in the habit of contemplating.

It is understood that the objeCl of this proposition 1i< to secure to the manufacturer of piece goods in India the . continuance of regular and constant employment, under the same system of local management, for their benefit, which prevails at present. If that object is likely to b- attained, without continuing the re- triClions mentioned in this props* sitioir, it certainly would be desirable that they should cease, to reflate the im- a view to the protec- tion of British manufactures. 12th As no sjjch restrictions exist at present in the im- portation of silk by private merchants, and as the reasons which have hitherto been a '. duced, on the pait of the Court of DircClors, for establishing such a regulation, though en- titled to much cous: deration, do not appear to be conclusive, it wi'l scareely be deemed expedient to agiee 16 this proposal. 13th. This suggestion appe. is to be- perfedljr reasonable. 14th It is understood, thut ihis propositus is founded on a principle of guar/ 1 ing against the dangers to which vessels of less burthen than 400 tous would be exposed on a voy- age to the East Indies, and also of providing for the security of the rev; nue, which might be affected by permitting im- portations in smaller vessels. These rea, on , though entitled to due consideration, do not appear to be sufficiently strong to justify the p- oposed restriction, » r the making a distinc- tion, in that r.- spe^ t, betwoen ships trading to the East indies and to other c - untries. 15th.', This seems to be reasonable. 16th- R wi" be necessary to provide, by proper re^ u: n- tions,' for the care and maintenance of those persons, an I tor their rdturn to the East Indies. 17th. This proposal would be wholly inadmissible, unless it were limited to such unexpired engagements as do not extend beyond March 14, 1814, when the Company's pre- sent terrii of exclusive privileges will expire; but the P ibiic may fairly look to the Company to hear this burden, a, a compensation to a certain extent for the Continuance of the exclusive trade to China. 18th. It will be in. iispensably necessary, for the p irpose of'gitarding against the inconvenience herein alhtd, .1 to, that the existing restriction shall* be continu- I, with such altera- tions as may be requisite in the new sy em of ttade. 19th. The number of his Majesty's foe: - s to maintain- ed by the East- India Company may , without inconvenience, be limited as herein suggested. Jt will be' necessary, how- ever, in consequence of the it: ™ ased extent ot tie British territories ' in India, since the pa- sing of the A t by w'. icht the number is at present regulated, that a considerable addi- tion should be made to it. 20th It will be necessar+, that tbe present system of ac- counting between the East- India Company and the Paym i - ter- Geueral should be abolished, and new regulations ,-:; aer . 21 st These demands must necessarily be rnn; ed on the principles suggested by the Cumin ttees of rhe H - u. ie of Commons, who have reported up m the subject of the ac- counts herein referred t » .

J BELFAST COMMERCIAL CHRONICLE. • WES3 ( In continuation from First Page.) The experience, however, of the last twenty years, ha ® • ufticiently demonstrated, that it is impossible to Calculate, with any degree of accuracy, on what may be the state of tjie Company's affairs in India at the expiry <) f another period of the same duration. If they are prosperous, the . Same term as was granted in 179S will be sufficient for the purposes described in your letter of the 18th— but if untoward events shall occur, and the Company shall be engaged in expensive wars, will be desirable that Par- liament should have the opportunity of reconsidering the . subjeA, and of making such new provisions as* the case may Appear to require, tinder these circumstances, I do not think it will be advisable to propose a longer term than what was granted by the Aift of 1733, viz. twenty years from the expiry of the existing period, with three years previous no- tice. I have no hesitation in admitting, that the suggestion in your letter of the 19th instant, relative t » the continuance of the dividend often shillings percent, on the existing capital 0' the East India Company, after the separate sum shall he exhausted, is reasonable, and that it will be proper to comply wi'h it. Your proposition, in regard to the payment of the Pro- perty- tax, reqtrres much more consideration, and I cannot, at present, bring myself to concur in the expediency of agree- ing to submit it to Parliament. A confident expectation ' way he entertained, from the state of the Company's - eve- rues in India, and from the reduction of expence which has already taken place, or which may still be effected, both at home and abroad, by means completely within your power, that a large annual surplus will be available towards the reduction of debr; but when ft is recollected, that though the amount of the debt in India has recently been considerably - . f inish- ed, ir has been proportionably increased at Home; and con- sidering also, that provision must be made for the poS- » ihle contingency of the Company having to pay, in this country, the interest, not only of their large debt at home, hut also of the whole debt of India, I do not think that it would be wise or prudent, ot ! ea « t till after the experience ef a few years, to make an addition to the permanent charges of the Company at home, to the amount of the Property- tax upon their dividends.— I am, Gentleman, your most obedient humble servant, ( Signed) MELVILLE. The . papers having been all read, Mr. Bosanquet addressed the Court in an elo- quent spech, in which he took a review of the rise and progress of the British Indian territory, adverting to the great exertions of the Company, and to the happy results which had followed those exertions. In stating the increasing property of the Company, he observed, that their profits in the last year amounted to above 200,000/. The first wish of his heart was, to preserve the em- pire obtained in India to the parent State. This could only be done by the cordial co- operation of the Government with the views of the Company. He did hope, if the trade must be'extended to private individuals, that, it would be confined to British shi ps, to Bi itish sailors, and to British ca- pft il. In conclusion, be congratulated the Com- pany upon having gained one great object by the late negociation, namely, the continuance of the native torces under their patronage and guidance, and finally moved, that the consideration of the Papers should be adjourned to Thursday, the 2d of April. Mr. Johnstone rose to second this proposition, and took occasion to puss the highest encomiums on the zeal, talent, and exertion which had been displayed by the Directors in the management of a negociation involving so many important topics, • and in which the interests of the Company were ^ o closely connected. Af er some further remarks from Mr. Bosan- quet and Mr. Lownds, the Meeting was adjourn- ed to Thursday se'nnight. PARLIAMENT. HOUSE 0F; C0MM0NS, THURSDAY, March 26. TENBKR OF BANK- NOTES. On the Order for the second reading of the Gold Coin and Bank- note Bill, Mr. MORRIS said he should oppose it, as a measure that went to make Bank- notes a legal tender, without the Public having. any security against forgeries or excessive issues of paper.— As the denomination of Bank- tokens had been raised, he should also propose that the denomi- nation of the gold coin sh uld be raised, by al- lowing the convertibility of p:; per into specie, as • was the case; before the Act of last year passed. We should then have a metallic currency, and there would be no temptation to melt down the gold coin. Lord A. HAMILTON opposed the Bill. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, this Bill was one of the measures by which this country was proceed- ing to its ruin. In consequence of its now being extended to Ireland, it would produce ih ® great, est inconvenience and injustice there, because it would overturn the contracts that were made be- tween landlords and tenants in Ireland. Before it was extended to Ireland the House ought to have waited until the general bulk ot the people in Ireland presented Petitions in favour of it. Mr. HENRY THORNTON considered the Bill of last year as being very much altered, on account of including Ireland ; because in many cases, landlords who have stipulated to receive £ 120 in paper for every £ 100 in gold, would now only receive £ 100. He wished to see some standard of authority according to which the people should know how to make their bargains. Nobody could now say to what extent the depre- ciation existed ;— and this was the source of end- less inconvenience and evil. He was convinced that to go on in this manner by adding law to law, without limiting the issue of paper, was a most ruinous course; and he should propose some amendment in the Committee to obviate the - most glaring of the objections which he saw in this Bill- Lord CASTLEREAGH was ready to admit that there had been a difficulty with respect to Ireland, which induced Parliament last year not to include that country in the Act then passed.— But this difficulty was greatly over- rated by the Hon. Gentleman. There were very few such contracts between landlords and tenants as were • tated ; and for- several years past all bargains had been made for payments in notes. The con- tracts for payments in cash existed only between landlords and tenants. It often happened, that when landlords received their rents in guineas, they sold these guineas, and thus gained an . ad- Vantage infinitely greater than the Stipulated rems. Jvfow there was hardly a possibility of procuring guineas, and therefore if a completely equitable, I arrangement for all parties could not be made, it i • was fit that the Legislature should act on the j . j- ir. ciple best calculated to remove the greate t! possible - pdrtion of inconvenience. The Pailia-' ment should not recognise the principle of pre- miums being given for guineas, because if adopt- ed in one part of Ireland, it must extend to the other parts; therefore he must support the pre- sent Bill. Mr. W. SMITH should not trouble the House at present, had he any hope that the objectionable parts of this Bill would be amended in the Com- mittee ; but viewing the measure in the light he did, he could not but consider' it, a system going to tfee inevitable ruin of the finances of the country. Mr. W. POLE thought he had collected from all those that had spoken on this subjeCt from the other side of the House, that, whatever might l » e their opinions as to the measure, still it was a very popular one, and had met with the general a?- pro- bation of the people of this country. He hoped it would therefore be allowed, that if this measure was considered beneficial by the people of this country, that it would also be thought and felt to be so in Ireland ; and that if it afforded a protec- tion to the people of this country, it should for the same reason be extended to Ireland. Mr. GILES contended, that this Bill did make Bank- notes a legal tender, but that was only in Westminster- hall. This Bill could only be < jf use to put money into the pockets of the Attornies; and, as he considered the whole system, of which this measure was a part, as of a most ruinous ten- dency to the finances of the country, he should oppose the Bill being read a second sime, and also in all its stages. Mr. PERCEVAL said, that this Bill was in- troduced for the purpose of protecting the liberty of the subjeCt, which was much endangered, when being a Government creditor he could be paid in nothing but paper, and yet is obliged to pay in gold himself. It was intended that this Bill should not be discussed till, after the recess, in order to give Members time to inquire wh. at may be its probable effefts. with regard to Ireland ; atil td consider well the nature of the extended a^ Apa- tion of it to that country. As to the geiferal'ar- guments about this measure being one calculated to lead to the utter ruin of the country, those ar- guments and predictions had been Used exactly in the same way ever since the restrictions were put upon the Baink of England prohibiting them frbm making payments in cash. He hoped that the predictions of danger and absolute ruin which wpre now made, would turn out to be as true as. the former ones. He contended that in the history of any other country there was no case similar to the present state of the paper currency. The com- parison of Bank- notes fo French assignats was ri- diculous. He trusted that the House would see the necessity for this measure, in order to secure protection to the subjects of this country* which, he would assert, and maintain, could not he done but by a measure of this kind, or description.— . With regard to the forgeries committed on the Bank for the iast 11 years, it appeared by a paper which h. d been that day laid on the' table, that on an average they amounted to about 9 or £ 10,000 per annum, which, compared with our paper in circulation, between 23 and 21' millions, was not more than might have been expected, and would have been found, of Counterfeit coin, if our circulation had been going on in gold and silver. Mr.- PONSONBY was firmly convinced that this measure, instead of being calculated to bene- fit the country, would tend very much to injure it. Ar the lime when the restrictions were im- posed on the Bank, some persons- said that a larger issue of paper currency would relieve the diffi- culties under which the country then laboured;' others said, it would increase ' them. Now he would again ask whose pi ediCtions had turned out to be most true? He did not believe, any more than the Right Hon. Gentleman ( the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer) that there was any coun- try in which the issue of paper currency was at all similar to this; and so far he believed that Right Hon. Gentleman was pretty correct. But although it was slower in its effects, it would be not less certain. The progress of the evil effects arising from the excessive issue of our Bank paper would be slower, but they must come upon us at last. The Bank was now doing nothing more than issuing Government paper, aye, and a forced and compulsory paper too. With regard to the Bank of Ireland, at the time that the Bank of England had its cash payments suspended, it was never more able or willing to pay in cash ; and when the order from this country arrived in Ire- land, commanding them to suspend rheir cash payments also. He ( Mr. Punsonby) knew that nothing had ever so much surprised them. He should only trouble the House by relating one cir- cumstarice, in which he bore a parr. The day be- fore he last sailed from Dublin for England, he went into one of those shops, which are well known in that city, for the purchase and sale of guineas. A woman from the country came in, and laid down on the counter ] 1 guineas, asking the man of the shop what premium he would give for them ?— He answered 5s. 6d. eich, and she agreei- ing, was paid in Bank of Ireland tokens. When she went out, another gentleman, who was in the shop, turned to Mr. P. and said—" If that woman had known how to make her bargain, she would have got 6s. premium on each of her guineas, for I saw them bought here this morning at that rate."— He ( Mi. Pansonby} then asked the man to give him 3ank of. England notes for Bank of Ireland, and desired to know what the exchange was. He was told about par, and received Bank of Eng- land notes at the very trifling premium of a penny or three- halfpence. From th s he would have the Right Hon. Gentleman ( the Chancellor of the Exchequer) to be convinced, that in Dublin they ate as w « il aware of the depreciation of our paper currency as compared to gold, and that they un- derstood it as well as they do the price of meat in the markets. He, for these reasons, should give his decided negative to the second reading of the Bill; and, indeed, he would oppose it in all its stages; as thinking it most pernicious to the real and permanent interests of, the country. Mr. MARYATT opposed the Bill as every way inadequate to the objeCt proposed by it. The House then divided— For the second read- ing, 61— Against it, 16. The Bill was then read a second time, and or- dered to be commuted on Friday, the 10th of April,. - ''."....' • MBETIKG- orTHtt" T.( Vfitft OK LONDOM.""

After some preliminary arrangements, lV[ r, Waithman addressed ' the.'

We have devoted a considerable_ portigi).. Q. fahis day's Paper to a Report of the important and in- teresting documents relating - to East India Af- fairs ; and we are happy to observe, that a public Meeting in this Town, is to be held on Friday, for the purpose of taking into consideration t] ie propriety of petitioning Parliament against the renewal of the East India Company's Charter.— We hope the example will be followed by every Commercial Town in Ireland, as has already been the case in England and Scotland. Cadiz Papers to the 23d contain an account of a brilliant affair which took place oil the 19th ultimo, in the neighbourhood of Cartama, be- tween the Spanish troops under General Montes and a French corps of 2000 infantry and 4000' horse, under the command of General' Marancin,. Governor of Malaga. The Spaniards defeated them with great loss. The business was decided with the bayonet. Marancin and many dis- tinguished French Officers were killed ; but the loss of the Spaniards was trifling. The, latter pushed forward within a league of Malaga, but they were checked by a fresh corps under Gene- ral Rey.— Another yictory is also announced, as having been obtained by General Lacy . between Rests and Tatagoria. The French corps which was defeated on this Occasion, was a reinforce- ment for the garrison of Taragona, 800 of whom were taken prisoners; the killed and wounded amounted to twice that" number. In Catalonia the Spainards have 20,000 men in arms, notwithstanding theit late reverses in that quarter ; which has the effect of preventing Suchet from sending off any detachment to. Mar- mont.

On Saturday evening, Vickary and Lavender went into a public- house in Weston Park, Lincoln's Inn- fields, in pursuit of a French Officer, who had broke his parole from a considerable distanc in she interior of Scotland. The description the Of- ficers had of him was, that he had lost three of the fingers of his left hand. They found a foreigner there whom they supposed to be a Frenchman, but they could not get a sight of his left hand, to as certain whether he had lost his fingers. They at length made inquiry pretty boldly, when the Of- ficers observed the foreigner running out of the house without his hat. They pursued him and took him into custody. On examining his left hand, they fonnd he was not the man they wanted, but. bis running out of the bouse caused suspicion, and they inquired for his alien- licence. He told them he - was an Italian, and that his licence was at Mr. Stampier's, an Italian merchant, in Kirby- streer, Hatton- Garden. Vickary accompa' ied him to Mr. Stampier's, and Lavender remained waiting for the Officer they were originally in pur- suit of. Mi.. S ampier appeared a respeflable man, and told Vickary he had no alien- licence belong- ing to the Prisoner; and that all he knew of him was his being a count- yman of his, and thatrhe had called upon him about six months since, and told him he had just arrived from Worcester, and he received him kindly. The Prisoner told Vick- ary he had been Valet to Lucien Bonaparte, that | he was coming out as a singer at the Opera- house and under the patronage of Madame Catalani,- and had attended rehearsals, and requested the Of- j' ficer to go with him to the Opera- house and to ! Madame Catalani, to satisfy himself that what he said was coiretf.— Vickary told him he had nothing to do with the Opera- house or Catalani, ; and h* must satisfy the Tran? port Board, and i lodged him in Tothlll- fields, Bridewell. Soon after Vickary left the public- house, the French Officer entered it with a box of artificial flowers, and Lavender took him into custody, and told him that he had an information against him for a breach of parole. The Officer, who sp > ke English pretty well, acknowledged the charge, and j said he had been in London about twelve months, and had got his living by selling artificial flowers-. He was extremely candid, and said he co'nst . ered his deteflion as the fortune of war; he had lost his fingers for his country, and should not mind losing his head. tender father, unjal his. seedbd marriage, and to su^ h an extent that he w. as particularly not_ sd by nui> J' country gentlemen, softie of whom'spoke on this op- t casioni - T.' ir firrsbn- rs wW'' foiind giffity,* Hnd ordered for execut( on\ rt Ipswich « ti Mondty. a n J At the Stafford As* Vs," Y?.

A singular circumstance attended the wedding: on the arrival of the happy pair at the hymeneal altar, the bridegroom was applied to by Dr. Glasse for the ring ; he had forgotten to procure this necessary testimonial. Soma confusion arose in consequence, but on recovering from it, a mes- serger was dispatched to Mr. Brown, a jeweller, in Piccadilly, opposite to ( he church, who imme. diately attended with an assortment, and then the ceremony proceeded without further interruption.

He murder of Eiiz: Carter, at Cratfield, Suffolk, on 16th October, 1791!; This prisoner was brought to justice by a chapter of accidents. He confessed the murder to one Heads soon after it was committed; but Heads, according to his statement, knew he was so much given to speaking falsehoods that he dis- believed him. The murder is similar to that of the Marr and Williamson families. The prisoner went alone and knocked out the brains of Eliz. Carte'r, as slie was fastening her window shutter, arid thftn he went into the house and killed her father. Some years after this, Heads, who had never before heaid from any one but the piisoner that a murder of that sort had been committed, heard a brother f, Ion in Norwich gaol lamenting that be had been suspected of that murder innocently, and Head^ recollected the confession the prisoner had made to him of which he made depositions before two Magistrates, eleven years since, but Thrower, the prisoner, was supposed. to be . dead. At the time of the alarm at the murders of the Marr and Williamson families, Mr Archdeacon Oid- eshaw, a Magistrate, was observing to Mr. Fox, that a murder resembling those, occurred at C atfield 19 years ago; a » d in mentioning ins talcing the deposi- tion of Heads, he observed Thrower was suspected, but he never was found. Now Mr. Fox had a legacy to pay Thtower's wife, which could not be done with- out her husband's signature, and through this incident the prisoner was taken into custody, as well as Heads, both of whom had been transported. Heads, in his evidence, told the same story he had done eleven years ago, of the prisoner's confession. The body of the young woman was proved to have been found in the garden, which corroborated Heads story. There being other strong circumstantial evi- dence, the piisoner was found— Guilty, and ordered for execution on Monday. . John Stnillt, aged 39, and Elizabeth his wife,' aged 27, were indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Smith, daughter of the male prisoner, in county Suffolk, by starving, beating, and exposing her three successive j nights in a shed, in December last, by which her feet became mortified, & c. It appeared in evidence, that the male pi isoner had three children by a former wife who died about three years ago, and he married the female prisoner on 8th of last November; and that from 10th Dee. until 11th Feb. 1812, when the el- dest of the three children, the subject of this indict ment, died, the tortures administered to them were horrible. Previous to his marriage with the female prisoner, the three children were admired by every one for their cleanliness and healthy appearance, and the male prisoner was marked for his parental kindness towards his offspring. Lucy Smith, sister of the male prisoner, proved that on 4tth Feb. the male prisoner called on her in tears, and said hiij eldest child was dying. Witness found two of the once- healttiy children sitting at the lire in a state so completely emaciated, that they ap- peared indifferent to any objects. On going up stairs a shocking object presei, itself in the person of the eldest child, in bed, who was unable to stir from her emaciated state. The poor child called out " aunt, aunt, don t leave me," Witness challenged them with starving the children, and they agreed that they had not much drink. It also appeared that the child's feet were in a state of mortification, from having been j exposed three nights in an out- house, by the unnatural father. She was much- bruised about the neck and body with beatings ; and her father confessed having hung her up to a- beam by the middle, without cause, i The other two children were in a shocking emaciated j state. Mrs. Clark proved that tlie children were all , in a state of starvation. She often carried them cake ! and a little wine, which they all ravenously devoured, j Three surgeons gave it as their opinion, that the child died from barbarous treatment and want of food. To enter into a minute description of the barbarities towards the children would fill a volume. They weie of the ages of four, seven, and nine years.
