II • A? far it could be carried on vie- cfica. He heard it raid that the Governor General in India intended to fend io,ooo troops to Ceylon. Could the Houfe give its fanaion to limit a flep as this; without making any enqiiirr as to the manner in which the war• had hitherto been carried on ? He maclrdnubted whether any means 'did exill of carry ing the war into the dominions of tht King of Candy. At preterit the motion for inquiry might' produce a great deal of good wish refpea to the condua of this war. ' But when the war was uvcr, no good could mile front it, nor could there be any motive except that of retributive jollier; stn Wel which few would undertake the invidious talk of purfuing. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER laid, he was very certain that the paper which his Noble Friend was ready to lay on the table would convey fufficient information to the Houfe on this fubjeui ; and guide it as to what ulterior proceeding Mould be. By this it would appear whether the war bad been carried on open juititiable grounds or not. As to the report of the Governor General intending to fend so,ooo troops to Ceylon, he could allure the Noble Lord that no indication of any fuch intention bad ever come to the knowledge of his Majelly's Lord HENRY PETTY raid the rumour had cer tainly reached him.

Whereas to write fames of tongue& and extender of demi slop are matures repugnant to the with, the honour, and policy of this nation ; be it roadbed, &e. And then addrelTed himfelf to the Speaker to the following etc& :—ln moving to have this claufe now read. I have two objeas. Fail. to remind the Houle of their own unanimous refulutinn, on which the fub. Sequent Aft of Parliament was founded ; and then to iliew that. in the motion which I propofe to fubmit •• 'to the Houle. I am governed by that refolutioa, and aim at nothing but to inforct the execution of that law. In this purport, and on this ;ground, I hope for -the (import and concurrence of the Hoare ; becaufe I do not believe it will be afferted by any man, that it is very right to pat's laws fur the better government of a difisnt dominion, and very wrong to inquire whether filch laWs are obeyed or not. In my opinion it would be a wirer policy and a refer practice not to make any laws, than to Puffer them to be flighted with impunity. Habits of difebedience are very catching ; and they the more dangerous in pro portion to the diilance of the offending parties, and to the facility which that dillance gives them, to con ceal or difguife their tranfations. I Rate theft prin. c iplespnerally, as a rational ground of parliamentary fufpicton and enquiry, whenever the governments in India appear to be engaged in !matures which , the law prohibits; and not at all meaning to affirm that fuch nwafures, when they are thoroughly examined, may not admit of a fufficient juffification. The bu fines and duty of this day does not call upon me to occufe any man. or to affirm that any thing deferring the cenfure of Parliament hat been done. My objet is to inquire; and then. according to the relish of the inquiry, to della or to proceed. All I contend for. in the firß inflame, is that a Britillt Governor who commences a war in India, is pieta facie doing that which the law prohibits; that his own aft of itfelf puts him on his defence ; that he is bound to jußify on the cafe; end that, until he has fo juftißed his conduit, the prefumptions are againft,hina. All the authorities of this country have united-with one voice to condemn and forbid the carrying on war in India for any purpofe but defence, or on any ground bat neceffiry. I need not tell the Houfe that the predict in India has been Anna uniformly, or with very Mort exceptions, di. redly opptifed to the prohibition. While the Diredors of the India Company had any power, they certainly laid down very wife principles, and gave very proper orders on this fubjed. When their power over their own Governors was found to be infufficient. the Le. giflature interpofed.but, as it appears by the fads, with no more (meek than the Directors. Since the Prohibi tory Ad paffed in 17133, I appeal to the Houfe whe. ther we have heard of any thing fro* India but war and conqueft ; many vidories, and great aequifitions, with only now and then a thort interval of repofe, to take breath and begin again. There is another ground of prefumption again a the neceffity and ju Rice of there wars, which items to me as thong and COrlClUfive, as any prefumption can he before the contrary is proved; 1 mean, Sir, that almoll all thefe wars are fuppored to originate in ads of provocation and aggretlion committed by the weak againll the (Wong. The Ilrength of any tingle Indian State at any time, and now I believe of all of them put together, is not to be compared to the military power and rerun:ices of the Englith. I do not fay that there nations have nn means of defence, or that the Mahrattas, tor exam ple, can do us no mirchieft but that, contideting the great dirparity of Puree, it requires very clear evi deace to make it credible. that whereas the difpnfi titm of the Britifh power in India is always, if pail. Me, to preferve the peace. and to be fatistied with what we pciffefs, this excellent difpolitinn is never coffered to prevail becaufe the Indian Princes ate to reakfs and unruly, that we cannot, in common jar iice to ourfelves, rtrrain from invading them. I'be .ihie Lisp-the tierce, rebellious lamb, would never iit ffer the mild, io.:111e, moderate wolf to be quiet : f ;; we. &vs yea, r: w Jr yawls/he.. Thefe propofitions . :4) be true, hut they require fume proof; and, when the pro of iv Produced. I (hall defire it always to be obferwtd cot remembered that the evidence, that comes befute vv. is fN t•zrk• We hear litt l e or nothing rf whnt the opposite, and poffibly the in jured patty, have to fay for thentfelves. ,Ever fence I have known any thing of Indian affairs, I have found that the prevailing difeafe of our Governments there has been a rage for making war. The bong though ineffectual remedies which have from time to time been applied to this difordct, ate a fnflicient proof of its exiticnee. That individuals may find their account in the condoet of fuch wets, I do nit mean to nifpoite. bat I deny that they are or Can 5e for The benefit of the India Company or the nit ti.r.n. particularly in the prefent circumtlances of the , ' , ompany's affairs. In there circumflances, and in Anal polistfion of hall the reniariola. von engage in a new w ar w i t h t h e hi a l irattas . t h e fi te cefs ot which :ail give you nothing but an a%!,.:1,t0n of territory, which yen cannot keep without-an intolerable increoe of your military eflabli(hments, and a perpetual drain of all your refources, of men as well as nionev, and which you ought not to keep if yon could. Whether the Mahrattas have united in defence of their country, or to carry the war into the heart of our bet pro. winces, as they have done in former times, or with what lots or expence our fuccefs againft them may have been purchafed, are queftions on which we are utterly in the dark. By public report alone we ate informed, that a war of great extent at Intl, and lia ble to many important confequences, is now carrying on in India, and that no information of it has been communicated to Parliament. Sir, I can fafely affure this Houfe, that the Mahrattas, though not capable of meeting us in the field, or at all likely to encounter us in a pitched battle, are neverthelefs very well able to do Qs a great deal of mifchief. In the year 1778, the Prefidencyof Bombay received and gave their protec tion to a Mahratta fugitive called Ragoba,and mutter ed all the foreethey could collea to efcort him back at Poona, and to make themfelves maters of that place. If the expedition had fucceeded. I do not doubt that the perfuns who were engaged in it, would have been ' very well paid for their trouble. The event was, that the army was furrounded. flamed, and compelled to capitulate. At tome earlier periods of the pillory of I India,the Mahrattas have frequentlycroffed the rivers and made rapid incurfions into the Upper Provinces of Bengal and Balm., carrying univertal defolation with them wherever they went, ruining the country. and making it, iropoffible to collet the revenues I know no realm; why they may not make the fame attempts again, and with the fame funds. With fuch bodies of horfe as they can called at a very Ibort warning, from fifty to a hundred thoufand in different quarters, they may pour into our provinces, overrun, and lay wane the country, and then make their retreat with the fame rapidity, without its being poffible for us either to meet or to overtake them.— This is their mode of making war, and it has al. ways fucceeded with them. They are the Tartan of India. In thefe circumflances, I elk, is it proper 'or not that Parliament &mild know, why this war was undertaken, for what purpofes it has been par fued, and with what fuccefs it has been attended ; and finally, has it the fanition and approbation of the Court of Direanrs, and of his Majefty's Mi. nine's t I cannot believe it po(fible. If it fhoold be Rated, as I have fame reafon to expel it may, that the papers to which there motions allude, have not in feet been received by the Court of Direaors, that anfvrer Inuit filence me for the relent, but I mull fay that, in another point of view, it will be very unfatisfaitory. The orders given by Lord Wel lacy, in confequence of which the hoftilities began upon the Malabar coaft, mull have been dated Come time in June or early in July laft. I beg of the Houfe to obferve the dates—we are now in the mid dle of March; fo that eight months and a half mutt have elapfed ftnce the orders were given, and no in formation received at home on that fubjea. This is a cafe, which the At of Parliament has forefeen and provided for. The words of the law arc that. "in all cafes, where hoftilities (hall be commenced or treaty made, the Governor General and Council theft, by the owl experfitiou swam they can eltvifi. coat i municate the fame to the Court of Direftors, toge ther with a full &ate of the information and intelli puce, upon which they (hall have commenced fuch hoftilities or made fuch treaties, and their motives andl reafons for the fame at large." Until it (hall appear in evidence that this delay of information direaly from LordWellefley is not owing to any neglett or on bis part, I am bound to prefume that there is A f aUlt fomewhere. Suppofing the mealuresinquellion (hould appear, upon inquiry, to deferve cenfure, that caufe of cenfure will be greatly aggravated by the meat of fending home timely information on the whole fob. jell. lam not able to forefee what fort of objettions can be Rated to the motions far papers, with which I mean to conclude. I rather hope for the acquief ceoce of the !ruble Lord on the other fide. At all events, I hope end expect that perfonal diaraaer, or the perfonal confidence due to any man, will not be alledged in bar to this inquiry. At prefent there is no charge, and there ought to be no defence. If I have laid (efficient giound for inquiry, we are bound to inquire. If crinfination lhould follow, it mull be anfwered, not by charaeter but by proof. When an inquiry was moved for in this lioufe, in the year 1791, into the educes of the firm war with Tippoo Sul:an, no man's reputation flood higher in the eltimation of the public than that of Lord Corn ' wallis. But Ido not remember that any oppoillion to the inquiry was let up .1;1 the feore of his perfonal I charaner, though none was more generally ,ef, eCt ed. On the contrary, his Majelt 's Minilters met the Tuoiiiry fairly, and thought they could not defend . I his condua better than by giving us all the infor. l oration they poffeffed. I hope and I taped that :lit Noble Lord, now at the head•of the Indian De partment, will follow tbat example. He r pro.e..esl Ito invite and encourage a free difeulEon of all Indian queltions. If not, and if the motion, with which I am now about to conclude. fhould be refilled, II think the Houfe will be red u ced to one of thefe two conclufions ; either that there is fomething in the perfonal met its of Lord %Venetic y, which entitles him to greater confidence than was thought due to Lord Cut owallis ; or that there has been tomething in his condui, to which nn other defence can be applied but a favourable opinion of his eharaZter.

Gentleman, he forefaµ• no objettion, when the papers &mid be received. As far as he was yet informed, the rupture • took place on the 6th of A ; the communica_ tions with P.•nnah continued till the end of the fame month, and the haft difpatches from India were dated as far back as the ryth of December. Ali the ob jceion he had was to eircufs the condo& of the Gover nor General in a preliminary and unprepared man• ner, and on that account he fubmitted it to the Hon. Gentleman, whether he would not confetti to with draw his motion. Mr. JOHNSTONE thought the motion proper, and that it was important the inquiry Ihould be en tered into without delay. He expreffed great appre• bent - ions in the event of onr being unfuccefsful in this war, that it might lead to our extirpation from India. Lord CASTLEREAGH, in explanation, Paid, that he had not, by faying that hollilities had been begun on the 6th of Augull, *rested that the Houfe ought not to inquire into what had happened before that period. Mr. FRANCIS obferved, that he certainly could not call for the produftion of a document that had not occurred, and would therefore, for the prefent, withdraw his Motion The Motion was according withdrawn.

Great praife is due to Commodore Hoop, who com• mands on that nation, for his ataive and pet levering zeal in the public ferviee. To the furprize of every perfon who knows the fpot, he has not only fucceeded in taking poffeffron of the Diamond Rock, about one mile dittant from the call part of Martinicoorhich was 1 - tippled by the enemy and by pal engers in general, to be fcarcely poffelfed of footing for goats, bat has aQually fortified and mounted (time very heavy guns upon it. Two long 24-pounders have been mounted on a battery at the bale of the rock ; a 32 -pounder about two thirds up the molt perpendicular part of it ; and two 18 pounders at the fummit. From the time of Commodore Hoon's taking pof fellion of the Rock to the Qs, esn's birth day, when the batteries fired a royal falote, was only eight days —with fo much affiduity were the works carried on.
