He would be hapny alio, if things il.nald he ai• they were reprefented, that Minillers wi uld take rneatitres rr icrair the injury done, and to render his tarther interlerence iinneceltary. lf, i mwe ..er, they lhotild not, he pledged hittifelf to bring toe matter before the Houle early in the next Seflio,), and would follow it up with as much fif rnne;s and perfeverance as his acquaimance with the concerns of India, and his utmoft know• ledge could be capable of, with a view to render effeatial juttice, and to wipe the tiain from the Britith charatter, which inch atrocious injuttice and oppreffion as this cafe is expeeted to involve, would be calculated to fix upon it. He would not then fay more to the main quellion, but wrinld move, " That a Petition which he held in liis hand, from the Regents of the Carnatic, thould be received ;" a Petition which he tendered upon the grounds that that Houfe was a jorifelittion competent to afford the Petitioners ample redrefs: The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE(ty ER profetfed himfelf always inclined to receive petitions unlefs they were obvioutly of a nature which mull put a bar to their reception, and in atting fo he ima gined he only followed the difpofition of the Houle, which was perhaps remarkable for facility in that refped. Yet he could not hut exprels his doubts refpetting the propriety of receiving a petition of the nature of that now prefented by the Hon. Gentleman. It did not come from a defcription of perfons defcrihing thcmfelves to be fubjeas of his Majetly ; and it moreover purported to be a petition of the regents appointed by the late Na bob of Arcot, whom, by receiving the petition, the Houfe would appear to recognize in that charac ter, and thereby in fome meafure prejudge the cattle to which the Hon. Gentleman had been directing their attention. In his mind, however, it was enough to know that a grievance had been futlained and complained of, and that redrefs was fought for from the Britith Parliament. Under this view of it he, for one, was not difpofed to bringing up the petition. As to the queflion at large, he concurred with the Hon. Gentleman, that there was no alternative between minutely difctiffing it or abltaining from it altogether ; and he was only lorry that the papers on the table could have furnifhed a ground in the mind of the Hon. Gentleman to prefume, that there was at lean an appearance of criminality in the conduit ', of the Noble Perfons who held the reins of Go-1 wernment in India. The opinion which he drew from the papers was quite the reverie, and indeed the line of condult which had uniformly been pur- fued by thole Noble Perfons left no room for har bouring any injurious fufpicion againft them; and be was Pure the Houfe would panic before they would permit any idea to take poifefflon of their mind that could in the le.& derogate from the honour and charaaer of thofe efteemed Noblemen. After paying feveral handlione compliments to le.r. Sheridan for his candour and liberality on the prefent occalion, the Right Hon. Gentleman con cluded with giving his affent to the petition being brought up. Mr. Ntemotes thought the long interval that had elapfed fince the depofition of the Nabob, in It h Ins latisfaanry explanation of that affair had been vea, of ofelfthrew an imputation on the condo& of the Governors in India. He was then proceeding to enter at large into the impolicy of our meatures in India, when he was called to otder by - ?Ir. WALLACI, who obferved, that fuels a dif. eutlion was nowife conne.led with the queftion before the Houfe. The SFFAKLIL eonetirred in the fame opinion, but, a. the fame time, obferved, that as it was not known how any Hon. Gentleman would, in the end, apply his obferrations, he could not hinder him from proceeding. Mr. Niettou.s faid, his only intention in intro ducing his obfervations on the present Motion was merely to prevent the neceaity of troubling the Houle with another Motion. Mr. SHULIDAN'S Motion was then put and agre:d to. Mr. NICHOLLS then role to make his promifcd motion refpeding the late tranfadions in the Car- Latic. He contended that the EA India Com ranY was entering on a fyilem of univerfal do nlinion,afyftem that would ticceffarilylead to anew war, that would drain the refources of this coun try, and to which the means of the Company were ultolly inadequate. Indeed they were already loaded with a debt of 24 millions, and they mull loon be obliged to come to that Houle for affia• ancc. As to the condod of the Governor General If Bengal, a ftrong prefuniption of criminality arole from the long delay which occurred in the znival of the papers that were laid to contain his j;:aiCcation. That ads of oppreffion and injuaice had been committed againft the lon of the late Na:.u.b of A rcot t h ere ex tiled but little doubt in his r“;nd, and he thought it the firft prerogative of the Crown to examine into and redrefs fuch ads. He thnuld therefore move, That an bumble Addrefs be pm-rented to bis Majelty.hum liY r':gutf:ing that he would be gracioully pleafed to dired Such nit afures to be taken as in his wifdom be may dt em es pe er, fir the immediate csamina.tion of the claim of the Fait Corop;.ny to the dominions of onidut Ul Omrah, late i t d ' h of the CanutiC; and that Office may be done to hi s •Atok*l'r..;ee UI Omrah, his only fun, and the loco:fibr ap i•••risd Ly his will.
