Gentleman 0.. . _. donld be ridienlons in any , perfon to infinuatc that Mini (try comprifed all thetalent of the country, when the Right Hon. gentleman was oat of office. Not only the Right Honourable Gentleman, bat his colleagues on the fame bench with him, had made fuch a re prefentation impoffible, particularly by the difplay of talent which they had already made in oppolition.— This declaration he (Mr. For) made for himfelf and ids colleagues. It was poffible Come of the friends of the prefent Miniliry, thinking too highly of their me tits, might from prejudice or partiality have fo de ferihed them, but he thonght it was hardly Tot the friends of a Right Hon. Gentleman, lately_deeeafed, to he the VI to objet to that fpeciee 'of compliment. He had never, fo far as that Right Hon. Gentleman was concerned, obferved the Right Hon. gentleman °grate an enemy to panegyric; let him look to what e hicafelf had faid of his late Right Hon. Friend, 1 he would not think the partiality of friends In un . - awantable. With refpett to his Right Hon. Friend near him (Mr. Windham). the Right Honourable Gentleman had raid that he had no opinion of him, war any confidence in him as a War Minifier. and that sig out of too were of the fame mind with him on this fubjea, This opinion he immediately took as granted.• and then goes on—not to propofe to turn him not, h i s to fay, " Before you have fully matured your plan's*. plain to me the nature of it." Was it, he would efits a fair inference of want of confidence, to require oft& Right Honourable Friend to tell them the nature of t his plata out of time ? _His Right Honourable .7e iend admitted be was not completely ready. In that cafe he predated to think it extremely hard that Gentle men oprofite fhould fay, anfwer us on . a point on which you coeds • you are not ready. It was well known that it was always tho with of the Right Ho. nourabie Geittleman lately deeeafed, to endeavour to get the friends with whom he (Mr. Fox) atited, to awake a part of his (Mr. Pitts) MlnifirY, and that Loch endeavours had been and with his Right Hon. Friend Mr. Windham, after he had made the fpeeches to witieh the Right Honourable Gentletna oppolite alluded. It might, indeed, be laid, that it was not in the contemplation of Mr. Pitt, to have given his Right .Honourable Friend the War Department, bat to have placed him in forte other Situation. If he (Me t FA), however. underlined the Right Ho nourable Gentleinan oppofite, no change of place Could have fatisfied the Right Honourable Gentleman, or removed his' objections to his Right Honourable Friend holding any lituation. He would have laid, " It is Oot to the head of the particular department that I give my confidence, but to the whole of the new Miniltry." The Right Honourable Gentleman talked 4. delay. It was not till the 7th of February that Right Honourable Friend's Wei; was moved.— ..he Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Pitt), to whom he was convinced the Right Honourable Gen. *man oppofite would not seillinglyimpute delay, or • other had quality, did not tur four weeks atter return to power bring in his Additional Force There the time which intervened was nearly as as in the preen' inhafte. There ton, a Tingle - only was to be Introduced. Here there was a new fylletit to be founded. There. however, no ob. jeflion of delay was fluted' neither were any Maw -.we inquiries made into the manic ref the plan which vended to adopt. If there had been any filch, airkwardly muff that Right Hon: , itrable Gen tleman have found himfelf fitnated in declaring it to be built on a fyfiem fuels as be himfelf had been de crying within the lag three Weeks. The Right Ho nourable Sicretary . declared that he could not figure aRy reafon tor.. potting any. michion like the prefent, but a with to embarrafs. What good motive could the perfilling in it-proceed from, when his Right 'Honourable Friend had flared that he was not quite -ady to bring fctward his meafure ? If he was guilty ,{ delay, why not bringforward againft him a charge to that clear and let - his cot:duet be the fubjed of Farliameatary inquiry t But what advantage could proteed from a prematere declaration' limner to that tow required?—From what motive hut a bud one could the with to procure fuch a declaration, proceed! He fimuld only put it to the candour of the Right Hon. - Gentleman hiinfelf. If, before the plan of the Military arrangements now in agitation had been teeth to be laid before the Houfe, his Right Hon. Friend had at once moved for the Repeal of the Ad- Janet Force Bill, while nothing was ready to Cub aitute in. its Read, what would the Right Honourable Gentleman ha re laid? Would he not have faid—Here, this is your hatieto thew yourpinittpfrover the Gen tletnan who is new no mote. you not have waited with patience, and allowed the A 9, to take courfe till you were ready with a fulatlitute ? 'old appeal to the Right Hon. Gentleman if that Id not have been his conettift t and if his Right Friend now laid .tkat this Bill farmed no pare plan, did it not follow that this was not the to invefligate or difeufs its meriti. CANNING explained, declaring that his cons c would have been filch as Mr. Fox had fuppeade the event figured by him. Mr. PERCEVAL thought that the different topics thick had been difeuffed to-night would come metre -led) , before the Houle on .. forme occafven. He' ight, however, that it was hardly cortia- in the at Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Fax tie r4l eat, is impoffible the queflion could have been put a good motive, more particularly as his Noble :nd did not prefs his queflion concerning the plan :h the Right Honourable Secretary (Mr. Wind. 1) had in contemplation. but lin:i:ed it as to the tlties. This he thought w as a reasonable and pro incision, as, while it was fuffered to remain in tut : whether they were to be levied or nor, it afted a double difadvantage. He expretTed his bappi to underhand from the tag fpcaker on the other (Mr. Fox) a thing which he had not formerly :Mood, and which he himfelf did not expeft, that mtprehenfive plan was actually formed If to he tight Monday next not an uureaftiabla time for ] gong forward fo great a weenie. Ir. FOX explained. i.LAWRENCE agreed with his Learned Friend eke (Mr. Perceval)' as to this not being the very moment for agitakag the maims which had been tduced: He was Corry to °brave, however, that tlemen on the other fide had just begun to per. coa when it was mem° Vi . . -• • • then brought up, and the kerso to.

He booed that the returns to the fail orders be made forthwith. ' Mr. WALLACE Paid; there had been no intentional dell in the produetion of the Papees. A OlOtteonverfadon asfued between fltr. Waltaee, Wintry Addington, Mr jecretary Fox, and Lord Caltleroagh, mod the Papers wercordered to be laid on the table Mr. PAUL then tole to move fnr other Paper., which, he Paid, contained the proofs of the fyßem purfued by the Marqdis Wellefley, and on which he meant ro ground four charges, one relative to, the tranfaftions in the Carnatic—another relative to Oude —another refpeding the appointment of Mr. Henry Wellefley—and the other, relative to the Rajah of Bhuri pore. The papers would prove that the Mar. quis had aged on a fyllem of aggreffinn diametrically oppofite to the wife fyllem of Lord Cornwallis. He concluded by moving for a copy of the letters betwerg the late Governor General, the Marquis of Wellefley, and the Eall India Company, from the year t iq>l to the conchilinn of the Treatrwith the N.tbob of Surat. Lord TEMPLE bad no oblation to granting the papers, but he thought there was no Parliamentary ground Rated. He Jußified the conduft of the Mar quis Wellefley refpeding the Nabob of Surat, and Rated that the Court of Dirators had approved of his conciud.- Mr. HILEY ADDINGTON laid there were Pie. liattcntary rearms for not producing the papers, but he should not objed to the Hononrahle Gentleman's having them. He could only affure him, that if they were produced, it would be necelTary to bring' forward a great many more, the printing of whi t ' would take up much rime. Lord FGLKSTONE made* few obletvations on what fell from Lord Temple refpeiting a lettie from the Court of Dirators, in approbation of thb Marquis of Wellefley's conduit, which appeared to him t,. he depriving the Prince of Surat of his country. Sir T. METCALF went into a long jollification of the (dem adopted by the Marquis Wellefley to- Wards the family of the Nabob of Surat, He maim twined that the fyßem of the Noble trfarqnis, if it had been continued, would have prevented war in Itsdialor half a century. Dr. I.AURENCE bellowed the higheß encm minms•npon the Noble Marquis, in his private capa- city ; but thought there was fuch a prefumptinn of delinquency made out, as would jußify him in voting for the Motion. • Mr. Secretary FOX replied to an intimation, that he had made a/eclat:ohms hoftile to the Inch* Coin pany and the Marquis Wellefley. Whatevei dear'. retionslit had nolde r applied only to the Noble Mar-, mis's gate ral cond oft, as coin pared with Lord Corn-, wain, s. He had declared that the principles and policy of Lord Cornwallis were more agreeable to thiefe laid down by the Mollie, and to the credit of the' .Eaft India Company. He denied ever having interfered or given any advice upon the prefent led: He was of opinion the Parliamentary grounds of the Honotteable Gentleman would not bear hint our, but Rib he ihould not °bled to the production of the Papers. Mr. HUDDLESTON laid, that the Court of Di tenors had no oblation to making public the papers moved for. It would, however, be neeelfary for the Court of Diredors to call for fome additional Papers. 8k THEOPHILUS METCALF rote, and ob (erred, that he fat in that Houle as a Member of Parliament, and not as a Ditator of th: India Cont. panr. • • Mr. ROBERT THORNTON, remarked, that it was very use that the Hon. Bare net did not fir there as Dire tor, but it was irapoffible for any one who beard hitt not to recoiled that he vies a member of the Court of Diralors. It was well known that the Honourable Baronet had Rood almoll fingly. . in the Court of Direaors ae the defender of the Marquis Wender's meafutes. He fek it his duty to Rate, that the body to which the Hon. Baronet belonged did not think with him on the fobjeft of the Noble Marquis's modal. Other papers would be necelfary, particularly one, to which he could not at prefent give a proper title, but it was esprett re of the oploinn of the Cola of Diredors on theGtOrernment cf It was intended to have fent out this paper to which he alluded, but its treat's:Gaon had been prevented by high atithoiitj. Mr. PAUL declared his intention of perfevering in the invelligation which he had commenced. He Rated, that I,coo.oodi. a ybar had been veiled in the Government at India under Marquis Wellelley. He would dillindly prove,, that the Mobil Marquis had mutually applied large fums egaiireiy 40 the Aft of Parliament. ; Mr. WELLESLEY POLE-4. Does the Hon.
