lit. ps.t§cEP then sore, and entered into a long detail on the Rate of India affairs for leveret Years Fran. His 'remarks were directed not only te the po hcy, but the commerce of the Company In ti different relations. They were fo minute and circurnßantial, h o wever, 111144 - 10 clofely conflated with-this hiftory or, the Company, that pre cannot pretend to enter into them at any length. He particularly Rated, that the fauguiae hopes held out to Parliament and to the coon try, of the Company's not being able in time to de. fray their territorial expences, but to contribute alto to the firength and refources of this country. bad been hitherto lllufory. The language ufed by the'' IJoble Lord's prkdecefor (Lord Melville) had been as Battering as that of the Noble Lord parbly could be.. When that Noble Lord prtfided at the head of India Affairs, he bad made a fuppofition, that even with t 5 millions of debt, the affairs of the Company might be conduced with advantage. This the Hon. Gentleman Paid, had merely been Rated as a fuppoft- tion. and of what might be done in cafe of the work but not with any idea that the debt would ever amount fp high. What conclulion then, he anted, mull we form now, that the dept isaccuroulated to a much from and is Co far beyond an amount which at No ble Lord had calculated on as the highea pot. fible ? If in the courfe of tea years we bad recreated the debt from (even millions to twenty-one. what et palmitin could we form of diminution in future? The N.ible Lord's predeceffor had looked forward to a period of ten years, and had given a Raiment of what he thought would then be the cafe; but, if they might judge from fads, he had been very much mit. taken indeed. The Noble Lord tow at the head of India affairs, the Hon. Member thought was proceed• ing in nearly a fimilar manner ; he was holding up hopes to the Houle, which if any judgment might be formed from the pall, would never be realized. It was not his dellgn, however, to attach any particular blame to the 'mature now prepared by the motion before the Houfe. The debt of the Government , formed a part of the altos, but he would bevel bad thofe, he contended, iodependently of that debt. It was not bis de ign to move for any Committee of Inquiry t he wished May for farther eaphies. 'ion, which was certainly not by any means war liammitery. He did not with either that it &mild I be underllood as his opinion, that the validity of the Company's credit was not good. On the contrary, , be looked forward to years of profperity. If properly caudated, he thought India prefented a glorious profpee. It was able, 'as the Noble Lord had raid, to fupport its own wan; and though it created% million of debt annually, it was Rill pmdudive of very great advantages. The commercial ream, however, to this country be thought were ettatitiess4 as an °bite of too great importaste. There was so policy, he infitted, 111 investing *de returns, is borrowingc to a deters degree, by the fyllem of n India. To • the commerce to the send capital. wool be every way more ad vantageous, as by this means alfo mote attaidea could be paid to the carrying trade, which be the molt profitable. Inßead of this, however, p carrying trade was ditcouraged, or at leak was per mitted to into the heeds of foreigners. as the Americanshad chiefly now carted it, and Weal means a portion of Britith capital that might be very eternity employed was loft to the country. Mr. GRANT entered into a cußification of the Company's affairs. On a balance, be thoug ht the revenue and commerce would be found to have a proper proportion. A dißineion ought to be made' between the political and commercial charges; lofts by fire and other caulks ought alto to be taken into the account. as the Company were their own informs. the carrying trade, be faiJ, had been fisted as of sreat importance; but in order to give fecurity this trade.it was neceffary the Companylhould exert theenfelves. Dr. LAWRENCE felt it his duty to approve of every attempt to inveßigate the affairs of that coos- try, as there mull. fooner or later. be a period when thole affairs would prds themfelves on the Honfe is a manner that could not be refilled. He thought it ominous, however, that no two perfons in the Houle could be found to agree in their calculations on the eilimates laid before the Heart, or even in the figures that werefthenitted to them. The revenue and merce be thought were fo nearly connected, that no inferences could be drawn from them feparately. One point in particular he thought preffed lirongly on the Houle, and that was, whether they Ibould rather leave the trade to others, than borrow to fupport it ? A Noble Lord had mentioned fourteen millions of debt as a very high rum. but even that they might be able to fupport, provided they had any fecunty that it Amid not be much more. It was rather extraordi nary, the Learned Member thought, hat every thing firould be reprefented in a very Rourithing Rate, and yet that the debt at the fame time thould be fo a-' pidly accumulating. He regretted the impoffibaity of moving for accounts to be made nut in if certain way. which might render them more precife and in- tempo.. Lord DUNLO bid, it was very true that the Go vernment in India was prohibited from making con. queßs for the purpote of extending the territories of the Company. But it was not prohibited from mak ing conqueßs after being obliged to enter into a war ; which was the cafe in the inflame alluded to by the Learned Gentleman. Lord CASTLEREAGH, in explanation, raid, the queßion was nearly balanced between India and Great Britain; for the acquitition of territory in In. dia had wailed a revenue of near four millions an nually.—The quellion was then carried, with an A mendment. by Sir W. PULTENEY. that the accounts relating to China thould be alto dißinguithed from thole of India. Lord CASTLEREAGH proceeded to move for the papers he had alluded to at the outfet of his fpeech, namely : An account otthe Profit and tale on the employ's Account, for ten ram, ending March. 11104, with the other Outran pAd an England; diltinmiiihing, u far es polible, thole of • p ots kat from thole of a commeniAl staturo.-ond diAlegidihlog the China from the India Truk " Alfo, au account of the Compene's Debts and Mks in Ind.' and at Home, front April to April 1804. - --orderot.

" The unheard of oppreffions which the German Elefloral States of his BRITANNIC MAJISTY have now fuffered for more than a year, from the occupation of them by the French troops, equally unprovoked and contrary to the laws of nations ; oppreflinns, under the confequences of which theft territories mutt long crmtinve to firuggle—have induced his BRITANNIC histjasry, as Serene Highnefs of Brunfwick Lune burg, to dire& the underfigned faithfully to rem fent to the Diet the deplorable &maims of thofe German States, and the conduit of France, fo con trary to the laws of nations, in order that his high Co•Eftates may take fuels flops and meafures, as may at length procure the liberation of his Sksjelly's Getman States. Ii In conformity witli thcle direttions,the underfign ed Comitial Envoy of his BRITANNIC MAJRSTT, as Eleftor of Brunfwick Luneburg. has to renew to your Excellenc;es and Etninences the reprefentation which he nude to the General Diet on the 124 of Aorta laR of the principles of his Barranntc MAJESTY, and to remind you of his Met conformity to thofe principles as Eletlnt. of Luneburg.

" It is generally known that his careful obferva lion of that difference was acknowledged not only by _ . . the empire, but even by France, as well during the different periods of the late war, as after the peace of Campo Formio, and latterly, by the peace of Lb The condat of the French Government mull ap pear the more extraordinary to every unprejudiced purfbn i fince the fame Government, which had al ways before acknowledged the difference of there twofold relations, immediately on differences arifing between France and the Crown of England, made thefe the foie pretence for a hogile invafion of the Gentian Territories.
