I country, who would otherwife be deprived of em ployment. The Exchequer derived three millions of revenue fr , m it. and their. commerce employed semao fail Ts. The utility of this commerce did not merely depend on the profit and loft of the Company. He ty n , means agreed with the Noble Lord (Car tlereagh) in the anister which he had given to the Ron Alderman. He denied that the deranged Rate of the Company's filances was owing to the wars in India, for out of the thirteen years of war mentioned by the Noble Lord, fix had been years of peace in India. and during part of that time, the debt, in- Read of increafing, had Initially diminifhed. The deranged Rate of the finances he attributed to the late dreadful wars, and a neglea of due economy, and the frnitful fource of thele was the fyftem put. fued by the late Governor General, not intentionally, but from an error is judgment--a fyftem of fubfidiary alliances that is bringing the native Princes under fubjeltion to our Indian Government. and making the Company's revenues appear greater than they really were, and increafing the expenditure upon the 'trength of that fallacious appearance. But the de lufion was n.,w over, and if the ()diem of the Mar :lois Cornwallis was again ruffed upon—if we re• at aced our' Reps, he had nu doubt the finances of the Company might be brought to a Rate of prof 'wiry. He concluded with obferving, that the coun try in general derived immerfe benefits from the commerce of the Company, which could never ap pest on the table of the Houle, in a view of the finances of the Company. Alderman PRINSEP, in reply. defended the Rate ments whit!, he had formerly given of the affairs of the Company ; and obferved, that the whole extent - 'of the Company's imperial commerce did not amount to mere than soo,ood. a year. He contended that The :amerce and manufaltnres of the country 4 ' would he much mote encouraged by the estenfion of the trade to private individual,. (ince this country was no, able to embrace its natural Rare in the cam n:erce of the EaR, from the exelufive Charter of the Eall India Company. In India alto, there were a fueicient number of Anita's'', in every kind of em ployment, fo that, were the trade laid open, them would be nn danger of (itch an emigration from this country, as rnipht ultimately fever the conneCtion with India. He contended, that the capital of the Company had been always contemptible, and Made. "rate to the commerce of the EaR. As to the ex. peitation of retrieving their affairs, this had been held out by every Prefident of the Board of Cwntrotd, and it might be Paid of it, " Hope travels on, nor quits us till we die." Mr. HUDDLESTONE laid, the Hon. Alderman was altogether miftaken in his ftatement—the exports from the year 5797 to 1804, amounted to tz,368,0001. which yielded an average of 1,516,0001. per annum, exclufive of warlike Ooree. Mr. Alderman ?RINSEP, in'explanation, Paid he did not include the China trade, which ht confidered to be diftinti from the India tra de. Lori CASTLEREAGH afcribed the debts of the Company to the wars in Europe and India, into the policy of which that was not the proper time to enter. European war alone had that tea, by increafing the expence of freight, and Rill more when Indian war was added. The only limit to their commerce +ins, that of the limit of the Indian market, and their• general trade to India and China amounted to two millions a year, while they extended the trade in Brir. Wit woollens, even to their own injury. As to the credit of the Company, that appeared from the Bate of their funds, as high as that of the country, and he law no reafons for thole gloomy fpeculations in which Come Gentlemen indulged. It feemed therefore on ' juflifiable to attempt to injure their credit, by- offer lions that they were in a nue of infotvency. He de fended his former obfervations with regard to a loan from this country, though he did cot think that their noancial lunation immediately required it, or that they literal - elves had expreffed any with for it. On the whole, he did not entertain more gloomy profpedt s with regard to the Company than he did with refpetl to the country in general. He never could look on ' their debt as entirely commercial, but as contraded for the fupport of our empire in India ; and if by any operation it could be transferred to this country from India, and the intereft reduced from 9 to 5 per cent. it might .be advantageous to the Company, and would not ezpofe the country to any pecuniary rilk. Stich a loan could be much better negociated under the guarantee of the public than by the Company it. (elf. Fie concluded with recommending to his Ma jefty's Minikes to take the affairs of the Company into their particular attention during the reeds, and bring forward the India Budget at as early a period as poftible of the next &Mon. Dr. LAWRENCE °Vetoed, that it had been laid. ' by a predeceffor of the Noble Lord at the Board of Controul, that the country were much more likely to derive pecuniary aftillance from the Company, than the Company from it ; and yet now it was propofed to aid them by guaranteeing their loans. Mr. TYRW HIT JONES contended, that had the affairs of the Company been properly managed, they might have contributed to the affittance of this coun try, as had been the expedation which Lod Melville exprefred. He thought we were the pooter for the ferrite), y ac 1. td acquired in India. He called on the Company to name,the day, month, or year, when they would pay their debts—if four years hence? He was br,rever convinced thiy could not go on ; they mull die as a Company—die theatrically, he believed they wontd—li Die all—die nobly—die like Demi-Direc- Mr. JOHNSON thought the profperity of India war calculate., on ellimates never to be reniihed, anti he thought it too much for human patience to beim the argtini-nts urged in their fupport. • Mr. GRANT entered, a fecond time, at co nfide. _ _ rattle leogtb, on die Maury of the Affairs of India, and th, ri,tht time part of this dircuflion had been conduftett melt exceptionably.

The action was for han. der, and was tried by a Special Jury Mr. GAIROW for the Plaintiff, Rated, that it was wholly tinneceleary for him to enlarge on the impost lance of character, to gentlemen who were to feeling ly and hnnourably jealous of their own. The plien tiff had formerly employed the defendant, and after the latter had quitted that fervice, he thought fit to commence a Chancery fuit. in which he elamied up wards of 7001. of his mailer. To the bill the plain-, tiff put in an anfwer, and in ennfeqtience, the defen dant thought proper to afcribe to this gentleman foul clime of perjury, toting at the fame time other exprettons tending to vilify his character. In order to give Olen to the krious charge of talfehood, on the molt folemo occafion, the detendant lint notke to the plaintiff, that he had prepared a bill of indict ment, to charge him with perjury before the Grand jury ; and this queridcas fervart had the impaderce to crud a :adage to his mailer, telling him, that he might lizru:e the copy hef , re it was relented.

On his crofs.examination, the witnefs being queltioned as to his own conduit to the Defendant, obferved, that he was obliged to be want ing in civility, becaufe Mr. Hawkes would have thrown him into the ftreet ; but he did not fay that " his mailer was as honell a man as you, Joe Hawkey," ' nor did lie add, " If you will tome out, Joey, I will pull your note, or leather you."
