No. 11. WELLESLLY To MARQUIS WELLISLLY, HIS BROTHLR: 347 Dent 1%.9.:41NG701., London, July a c !, like. I have jutt learned from Lady WELLEsi.sv, that an overland difuatch will be fent off on the 28th, and I hope this letter will reach you in time to enable you to make prepara.i•tns for quitting India in January next. I than now communicate to you as well as potfible, every thing that has Taken place, in ,regard to India, fence my arrival, arid thee you 'will be enabled to judge what degree cffupport you Lave to cape& from the prcknt Minillers, and v be ther ths. Board of Controul has n , t been afttrally transfermi from the Council to the Court of Di it earn s: f avrivedin London in Jun e , a nd im me di ate ly waited ciao, d Carriti [AGM, V ho rece i ve d me with the gre.ueA politiliefs. He Ipr.ke of you in the _ _ • oft favourable terms. He approved of all your !nee lures, but at the fame time, it is peafealy evident that he.hannor a btain what the Court of Direaors has refulied nct to grant. He fp )ke a great deal of the Colleee, and appeared to be fully convinced of • "V the importance as well as the nectffity of the in flitutios. He believed he fbJuld be able, he laid, to- make the Direaors confent to its con tinuance 'according to your p:an, with fame mo• difications; which you would not think of much con. ftquence. He told me that the Direaors had writ.l ten to him on this and other fubjeas, feveral very intervals% letters, and that nothing could be more ditagretable than the (LILO job in u l ich he was placed. I told Lord CASTLkII.6•OI , I, that on this necation the Court of Direaors had decidedly broken their word, for one of the principal condi:i ars on which you was tn remain uitl a year in India, w as, that they not at all interfere in your nominations ; that they bad difplaced a man who had paired through all the inferior ranks in the fervice of the Comai.ny. I then told him that your health was very good, and that there was no facrifice you was nut ready to make for the public fervice, but that I th-tight it impofrible you could remain in India beyond Ja nuary next, unlefs you were flrongly folicited on that fubjea by his Majefly's brawlers, and by the Court of Direaors : that in reg and to his m.jer te& Minitters, I thought they were of opinion, that your arty in India was a thing very clearable tinder many points of view ; and that in regard to the Court of Direaors, they ought to kuuw whether they withed for It or not. reee ;yeti from the Praident a civil but a very cool reception. He fpoke to me of ameliorations in commerce, but did not fay a word of my pet-fon:a , Cervices. He teemed difpofed to find Come fa;;lt in every thing that we did at Poonah, and we ftparated after a converfation of tea minutes, with his telling me that he had fo much Wind - 5, that he had not had time to read the difpatchcs (though they had been five days at the India Ijoufe), but that lie hoped to have frequent opportunities of talking with me on the affairs of India. I have not ken him fence, (though I rentained a fortnight at London to have an opportunity) and the Court had n ,, t es en the civility `s ' , alit me to one of the dinners whi:h are given every Vi:cdneiday. I Lave lince been obliged to mum to Choler lii.ufe on account of my health, which is (till vary bad. Another mvtive which indoces me to with fhr your return,is the fituation of the dilteuent parties in England. I fuPpofe you have received a letter on this futhjed from Lord GRENVILLE ; but I Will tell you every truing I know, and what I had in part from an intimate friend of Pt rr. It appears that ADDINGTON pt npnfed fume weeks ifin to PITT t.. join the Minillry, nn certain conditions. Pt rr, cn this overture of /loot isc:row, began a negn ciatien with him ; explained the cnnditions on which he wi(hed to form part of the Minittry ; declared that he would not ia fill on the introduninn of any per fon to whom the King might have Corm; nhjestinn ; but 'that he would intitl on the whole affair being kept fccret until it was totally atranged ; and that at the fame time he would referve to himfell the power of withdrawing from the neglciltion, fhonld it he conceived that his fervices could not be useful to the public good. On there conditions he gave the outlines of his plan to ADDINGTON, mentioned feveral perfon , whom he will:led to propofe, am.mg whom was Lord Gxesvieet ; OW, however, continuing to declare that he would not introduce any perf. , n in oppnfition to the King, but that he would referee to himfelf the power of reciting. ADDINGTON propored this plan to his colleagues, who rejected it, and the nego choler' WAS broken off. He made no reply to the 6r4 point. To regard to the fecund he was very explicit, for he told me that the Court of Direaors had been fo incenfed on ae counfnf the opinions whirl' you had mattifened in fome of your difpatches, (which proves that they have not the lean idea of the trie interests of India, and that in this refpea they are ef.s . flityriefoo/s), that he was perfuaded they would rather with to fee you re fign, though it was itop. , flible for thou not to ac knowledge that your day in India might be very *fetid to the public intere:t. In.another eouverfation 1 had with Lord CAST LE- I, AMIK' he fpokra great deal .1 the Mahratta neg.). ciatienfi, and I fucceeded in convincing hi m o f th e jufliefs of your meafiret sR Poonalt,and of the great advantages that mall refolt urn them, if we fht . uld veablifk .our it.fluone in that Court. He again :flied me if you had come to a fixed de termination, in re?std in the period of your re turOti England ? I repeated what I had laid to him on akothsr ociallon, to which he made nn reply. He fpok..g to me of the nomination of Bait tow, and ark ed nae.,if I thought you would approve of it ? I told hint that yon had the Sett orinhm of Balmily: ; but that you thought no fcrvant of the Com• pant ought to faceted to the general govern ment. I told him all that t!'t nt'or rlaTiiaatial was acids, as Ralcow had hecn r etiostily ciellined to fucceed you pn,ciGrmaliy, and that it w.is better to wait-for your Town hcf , re any pectin was prefented fcr this ricsr mmiration. It my opinion O'ere is a certain fecret intrigue in rq AI d to !L.:nt Initiation cf Batt tow, and it is a$ full ws: When the Minillers propofe.l Lord Wm. Brattv.K 1:::r Madras, the Court of Direaors made the morl f o rmal ti ns to 'hat noininati ;L tt thLy were at lenF..ll obliged to yirt.l, cr.nlnl:tlg thcmielves with the Lies that one of their own for .11.:S would be appciuted Governor Gene. al. - At prefent, all ADDINGTON'S friends declare that PITT rattled to join the Miniary, becaufe he willed they would allow him to introduce GRENVILLE. &C. Put, as you mull have leen, has tirce oppnfed AD DINGTON in the fir uI of Commons, and they are no longer on (peaking terms. Lord GRENVILLE, (who is the organ of CANNING) told me that PITT has loch a contempt for A onsacron, that he would not at prefent ail with him on any conditions what. ever. At the fame time, PITT darlynppnfes in the Houle of Commons the Defence Bill, as a Counfellor would do, and by *he means which ire employs, he has ren dered it fi for anfwering the plopolcd end, which it never others% ife wt uld have dr.r.c. On one necafion he divided the Made, and, to the all, I:dim:eta of every Iv dy, the Divifion was cut y Members.. --I never thelefs think, as many othcis do, that it is impt.frilde things fhould Ir ng remain on their relent footi...g, and I believe, that Pitt' will return to Ike in the total,: of a year. This makes me is ills that you fhould be on the (pm, to form part of the new Minith y, which would tin n be excellent if Pi t r c. c! ,t at the head. What du you think, pray You be able to obtain every thing yon w ifh in regau d to Indir, and, if you thought proper, to return again RS Governor General.

Between Ilk and fcven o'clock it was at its, highefl pitch ; tha flill ferenity a the evening, there being fcarce follicient wind to agitate the waves, ren dered the feene difplayed from the hill; truly beauti ful; the (lathes of the guns were ties er ft diqinetly fecn from tl.is place :•!s they were yci:erday evening, the coifs horn Ambletenfe to Boulogne being quite illuminated wilt the vied thall,es ; a grin was fired at the former place, and wai then i •nded fr .n; the latect, and fo conftantly for the !puce et an hour, without any appearance of tb.! fire being returned from the fea. From this we imagine that fume of our effels getting too near the French wall, had been becalmed, and the little wind there was at the time made it Rill m;ne . probable this was the cafe. The tiring ctafed almoik entirely at eight o'clock. Had it been light, we mi . ltt, ve:haps, have known the Caure. Before dart: near twenty Cal of rot refrels were oh• fen able (,ff 8001 , voc ; a very Ilrong fquadron remained in Dungeriets Read. In c.tfe of the enemy's putting to fea, a fquadron of referve there would be oi infinite fervice, as, while the fquadt on over there were ha:: (ling the enemy in the rear, this fquadron, fakir; them in the ftont, would undoubtedly collo i!ilite gtemly to the termi nation of the c,ntell is f.tvout cf the country, with out pet g the Gallic Haves to contaminate by their touch ore inch of wound, except as the waves thould thtow their Weld's bodies on our ()sores, n awful lclhtn to thole who may in future threaten to diitutb the tepofe of the people of this happy di: with attempts of a fm.:lar kind. Nothing has been left undr.ne en this part cf the coaft, nor, u e believe, in any other, where it is likely the attempt wit!, be made, to place it in a perfe& (late cf fecurily.
