Thefe, he raid, were the expeetationsvrhich he had held out; and he owed it to the Public, to the Government, and to his Succelfors, to thate explicitly how he thought they would be fulfilled. He defired firft to be indulged in a few general ()Venation.. In.the year 1791-4, the affairs of the Eatt India Company were in fuch a Rate of diforder and embarraffinent that many were of opinion the Cainpany mutt be diffolved altogether. They thought that by clearnefs being introduced into the the management of its concerns, by cecono rny being lividly adhered to, and a Rate of its af fairs-regularly laid before the Public, it might be refcucd from its difficulties,and in time ettablilhed m independence and profperity. Thofe who were of the latter opinion prevailed in procuring their plan to be adopted ; fun thine loom fucceeded chaos, and from that time to the preterit its politics and its commerce have flouriflted beyond the moll fan guine hopes of its well-withers, From the wife councils and brilliant exploits of Marquis Corn wallis, and the prefent Governor General, all our , enemies in that quarter had been fubdued, and • our porellions in India placed on the bafis of the Ind perfeet feeurity. The event, no doubt, molt to be rejoiced at was the fall of Tippoo. While that renlefs Tyrant was alive, confidence could not have exi fled, and allthat co uld e ver have been enjoyed was MI armed truce. He had even checked the agricul ture of the Company's polliftions, and obltrueted their improvement in every particular. Every fedi tious Polygar or Circar immediately revoked, truf tmg to of llance from him. The Nizam ofthe Dec can, from a dangerous enemy, had been lately con verted into an t4ful ally, and now paid a lanebody of llritith troops employed to defend him. rie prof perity of the country in confeq mince of there changes had advanced with the greaten rapidity, and was built on the (urea foundation. Vigilance might (till be neceffary, but vigilance would be (efficient. He advifed his firecelfors to keep a watchful eye upon . , our great rival in Europe, and upon the trent& which. took placein Pertia and towards the fource of the Indus ; and if they did this lie atfured them they would have nothing to apprehend. Having ad verted to the chap which has lately taken place in the Vii.ier of Oud ge- e. the Right Honourable Gen tleman proceeded to devblope his plan. If, not with Re ndi ng the many difadvantages the Company had had to encounter the latt eleven years, its affairs bad bean greatly meliorated, he slid not think he had talked ton flanguinely When filid he was not afraid to meet an Indian debt of fourteen millionS iterling., He did not hefitate now to, declare that within the currency of its charter it had means to difcharge all its debt ; to accumulate the whole fum it was required by Aet of Parliament to have as a guarantee for the fulfilment of its engage. ments, and to pay to the public the ruin it Had en gaged to pay in confideration of the renewal of its charter. After hating that he had meant to re commend it to the Company at the conclufion of peace to borrow the fum of ten millions to pay oil the debt in India, and mentioning the obje4tions to this plan, and the manner in which they might be obviated, he proceeded to detail the plan on which he placed his -chief reliance. In the firft place, by arrangements abroad one million is to be faved annually from the revenues of the Company, to be laid out in invehments. Secondly, invehments are to be made every year to the value of four millions in India and China, in equal proportions. In the third place, in the !pace of four years the Company is to avail HAW of the power it has by its charter to increafe its capital flockby z,e00,0001. to be advanced annually. Fourthly, the proceeds of the tales at Leaden hall-greet are to be employed to reduce the debt in India; and lalily, this plan is to go on till the debt is reduced to the fum of 4,500,0001. a fum as low as it might be fate to reduce it to. The Right Hon. Gentleman then entered into a confideration of each of thefe particulars, (hewing the practicability of all of them, and the certainty of their operation. By the year 18°9 he thewed the whole plan would be accompliffied. He dwelt with great force upon the advantages which would be derived from the redua i on ofth e Com pany's debts. The great and the only enemy we had to fear in India was the Indian debt. After this was difcharged, our empire in the Eah would be found on an immove able hafts, and no enemy would contend with us in that quarter of the World. We could keep on foot an immenfe army for five or fix years without being more embarraffed than we are at prefent, and even then we would have an unlimited credit from having preyinufly (hewn good faith. It gave him no (mall confolation upon quitting office to be able to give fuch an account of his Adminittra tion, and to hold out fuch pleating profras. The Right Hon. Gentleman having finilhed the explanation of this great plan for the melioration ) of the finances of India, concluded his long and able fpeeclt by a few general obfervations.• When a plan calculated within the (pace of a few years, to produce fo great a revolution was at fir( hated, he was convinced indeed that it would be likely to excite, not merely furprife, but incredulity. When the data on which it was founded were, however, laid before the Public, he would remove all poffi ble objettion to the accuracy of the financial 'tate ment. He had fondly looked forward to a period of peace for giving cite& to his fcheme; but though from various circuinflances he himfclf was not to carry it into execution, he rejoiced in the profpeet opened to his fucceffor in the fame office. He would rejoice in their joy, and participate in the pleafures of their (needs. Whether he fhould live to fee the plan carried to perfation,he fhould never ceafe to reflect with fatisfaetion on eighteen years of his life, employed in contributing to fo great a na tional objea, in exerting every means in his power to promote the national profperity. He would lay down his head in tranquillity on the pillow of death, in the profpeet of leaving this fcheme in the hands of thofe upright and able perfons who were to be employed in the fame important public end. A number of explanations th en took place on the fubjea of the prices of freight, during peace, betwixt Mr. Lufhington, Mr. Dundas, Sir F. Bar ing, and Mr. David Scott, which being finithed, the Refolutions were put and agreed to. The Houfe being returned, the Report was ordered for I Monday. IRISH TAX EXEMPTION lax. The Houk refolved itfelf into a Committee on this Bill. Mr. ABBOTT moved a claufe to exempt the per forts defcribed in the Bill from the preterit or any future Houfe Tax. Mr. Dawsow here took occafion to complain of the impertinence and extortion to which Gentle. men coming from Ireland were fubjea from petty Revenue Officers in the Brian; ports; a circum fiance that annoyed the Irith Gentlemen mush more than any tax to which they might be liable within the country. The S • wiflied it to be underflood that the Revenue Officer to extorting was fubjea to fevere penalties by law, as was the perfon fubmitting to fuch extortion. Mr. Hlastax made a limner complaint with Mr. Dawfon. . The CHANCELLOR of the Exert zoo se (aid it was extremely defirable to facilitate the intercourfe be tween the two countries ; that it fhould be perfeet ly free and unreftrained ; that there fkould be no I dfiftinaion between them other than GOD and na ture created. He was as anxious as any man to nut with refpea the fpirit of the articles of the Union; but he was perfuaded the reftriaions pre feribed by thee articles were only applicable to grade, they never could have been intended to in. terfere with perfonal convenience ; and in the next Sediun of Parliament it might be proper to devils fame meafure to remove every impediment and ob- Arnetion to the cordial and unfettered commons- 1 cation of every part of the United Kingdom. Mr. TilliNCH deprecated any interference with ' , the letter of the Union, lei the fpirit ihould be gradually frittered away. MT.CORRY declared that he would be ever ready to facrifice his perfonal convenience rather than hazard the !tiered articles of the Union. Mr. TRINCH explained. The CHANCELLOR of the Excetoyta admitted that it would be in the higheß degree improper to meddle with a compact fo folemn, orders a variance Mould appear between the letter and fpirit of the treaty, and ;inlets the nniverfal fentiment of both countries Mould call for it. Mr. ABBOTT paponed the confideration alibis elaufe. Ilse b lan ks were then tilled up, and a clash was added, that thole why claimed the by t „ . nkfit of the AA Mould make oath of tle terms pre. fcribed, and finch as violated the fame Ihould be fubjed to the penalties of perjury. The Report was ordered to lie read on Monday. —Adjourned to Monday. LONDON. SATURDAY, JUNE ►3. PRICE. OF STOCKS THIS DA Y AT ONE O'CLOCK : Omnititu 9&—Red. Eat—Confab for opening 62.
