The Order of the Day having been read, for the Lords to be fummnned to attend this day, the LORD CHANCELLOR called upon Lord Melville. Lord MELVILLE role, and (poke to the follow. in effect :--" My Lords, I regret much, that the Hoare is not in poffeilion of thole official documents which would enable us clearly to fee our way in the , dila:Rion of the important fubjea, to which I think it my duty now to call your Lordfhips' attention.— For want of thefe we are obliged to grope in the I dark, and take the prevailing rumours as the grounds of our arguments. Ifitall tirll, however, he obliged to give fome kind of hiflorical account of the trap fa tion on which the dila:Mon of this night will prin. I • cipally torn. " When Lord Cornwallis had undertaken the Go verr.ment of India, and when in his zeal for the pub• lic fervice, he left the Banks of the Ganges, and made a diflant journey for the purpofe of giving ef feet to the negociations for peace, Sir George Ballow, confidering the delicate Rate of his Lordthip's health, and the danger he expofed himfelf to in his country's fervice, thought it proper to quit the feat of Govern. ment, in order to afliit his Lordflrip in the negocia. dons, and, in cafe of that event taking place which has fince happened, to receive his dying inttrations, end to carry them into effea without delay. Sir George Barlow had then for his infirationi not only the fyllem which Lord Cornwallis atually purfued, but the orders of the Court of Dtredlors, and the in. Orations given to General Lake nn the totts of Sep tember. The general principle of the negotiation with the Native Powers, as alto the fyllem • of re trenching unneceffary expenditure, was begun by the Marquis Cornwallis, acrd was afterwards purfued by his fucceffor, Sir George Barlow. Such was the film ation of India, ,as it was known in this country upon the 29th of Jaotrary tall, when h:s Majefty's Minilters with great wifdom and propriety, confidering that it was not proper to leave India without the full be nefit of thole Powers of Government which has been always confided to Governors, General, recom mended to the Court of Direaors to give thole Powers to Sir George Barlow, in order that he might not be fettered either in condufting the negociations, or in carrying on the Government in India. With this recomnsendation, the Court of Dirators readily and cheerfully complied. Nu appointment was ever las complained of, and no difpatch has fince been received from India that did not convey the moll fanguine expatations of Piece's from the meafures purfued by the fucceffor of Marqui, Cornwallis. The appointment in conlequence of the recommendation of his Majefty's Miniilers was made on the aßth of February, and upon the Bth of March the Court of Direftors received an intimation of the with of his Majefty's Miniflers that a fucceffor lhould be appoint ed to Sir George Barlow. The Court of Direaors were very unwilling to comply. They forefaw, or they thought they forelaw, great difficulties and great oblations to complying with this intimation. Nothing effeaual was done from the Bth of March till the tzth of May, when a communication was made to the Coma of Direams, fuggefling the recal of Sir GeO. Barlow, and recommending the appointment of a Nn ble Lord (Lord Lauderdale) high in the confidence of his Majefty's Minitlers. This recommendation did not accord with the ideas of the Court of Dirators, and fume move delay was occafirined by the correfpnn dance and communications that took plate on this ruble& At length, at the latter end of the month of May, his Majefly was advifed to recal Sir George Barlow, by an intirument under his own fign manual. Since that time it has not appeared that any Gayer nor General has been appointed, or any Amp taken to fill up the vacancy in the Government of India. In the vitae of the tall dity or two, there has been a tumour that a Noble Lord (Lord Minto) has been appointed ; but this rumour is the only thing which the Hortfe is now polfeffed of, inllead of that infor mation to which it is entitled upon f) important a fubje& The intended fecal of Sir George Barlow has been, huwever, notified to India in all the con. refpondence, both public and private, that has taken place with that country fince the beginning of March; and it mutt occaf.on great uncertainty with re (pea to the fyllem of Government to be adopted for India, as well as great furprife in chore who are belt acqnainted with • he lattices, the talents, and the zeal of the Hon. Baronet. It will be now necefUrry Ito confider the All of Parliament itfelf, under which his Majefty was empowered to recal the Governor. General appointed by the Company. It is by the Aft which palled in the year 1754 that his hlajelty obtained that prerogative, and it will not be foreign from the fubjea to call the attention of your Lord. (hips to the circumfiances nader which that Aet was paired. It will be recolleaed that it was at that re ! mar kable period when the whole conntty was a n• I culled with different opinions nn the fuhjea the bell modes of governing India. The different fy Items might be laid to be contained in two Bilk the one was commonly known by the name of Mr. FOX'S Bill, and the other by that of Mr. Pitt's ICI. In the latter, however, to which Parliatnent rive its fanaion, the power of recalling a Govern ir General, or other of ficer. was given to his Majelty by an eaprell elude in the Bill. If the Houle will, however, recolidt the , eircumfiances of thole times, and confider the mode in which thole two Bills were univerfally underflood at that period, it will appear that it was the general opt. nion at that time, that the real difference between the bills was a ftrug,gle for the patronage of India,whcther it Should be in the hands or the Crown, or of the Com pany. The oppofers of the Bill of 1783 (Mr. Fox's Bill) contended, that giving the patronage of Ind;a to Miniflers would overturn the independence of the Lords and Commons, and be fubvertive of the leges and prerogatives of the Crown The Bill of 1784 (Mr. Pitt's Bill) difclairned this patronage, and went upon the fuppofition that the patronage of India might he more fairly and beneficially exercifed by the Eon India Company themfelves. I do not now mean to argue which of thole opinions WM right ne wrong. f merely mean to (late, that the opinion of the Legislature in the year 5784, when they agreed to Mr. Pitt's Bill, was decidedly for leaving the Company the patronage of India. The elaufe there fore in that Ad, which firll gave his Majefly the power of recalling a Governor General, can never fairly be conttrued as direCtly militating againft the whole fpirit of the Aft. The mon decided fenfe of the country was then in favour of the spirit of that Aft, and with this generally prevailing fentiment the Legifloture concurred ; it therefore never could have been the intention of the Legislature, that a Nil, puffed in this fpirit, Should contain a claufe, which Was to he at complete variance with the whole oh. jee of the Bill, and Should enable his Majefly's Mi. oilier+, by exercising at pleafute this power of recal, to gain the entire patronage of India. The mean ing, of the claufe is obvious. It only was intended to givl the Crown the power of negativing any improper appointment, which partiality might ever induce the Court of Dip eftors to make. The Court of Direfinrs were alto checked in that repeet by the Court of Proprietors, and there was a moll remark able innance then recent, of the Court of Proprietors having retitled to acquiefee in the meal of Mr. Holl ings, when the Court of DireCtors had propofed it. It therefore was neceffary that in cafes of that nature the Government lhould have the power of rec a l; and to remedy a &lea of this very defcription was the only objen of that claufe in the Bill. I there fore think myfelf wow warranted to appeal to the recollation of every Noble Lord who remembers the circumftances under which the Aft of 1784 was pal. fed, whether I have not Rated fairly the intentions of the Legillature at the time of its ? 1 know that as to the merits of the two different Bills, there mull be a great variety of opinions, and every perfon mull he filbje.ft to Come particular bias. The Noble Lord (Minto) may, probably, be more attached to the principles of the Bill of 1783, or Mr. Fox's Bill, as it is nfually called. On the other hand, I may appeal to another Noble Lord, whofe opinion I may bring forward as a balance in point of autho. riry, and whore bias I mutt fuppofe to be in favour of the Bill of 1784, from the part he took upon that occasion, (Lord Melville here alluded to Lord Gren ville). He muff know the fpirit in which that Bill was paned, and whether it would not be contrary to the fpirit and meaning of that Bill that any claule of it ()mold be cordirtied as giving the patronage of India to his Mtjefly'sMinifters, whenever they should be pleafed to Witt upor, this power of recalling, at their *afore, thofe who had been appointed by the Company. It would be contrary to the fpirit and to the obvious meaning of the law, if the power of recal Mould be etkrcifed merely fat the purpole of enforcing the appointment the peefon whom his Mejelles l•linitters stinted to be the G-vernor General of India. The Power that the Crown poffcffed would be grof.ly abufed, if it were ap. plied to any other purpofe than what was intend ed by the law, to the negativing of an appoint ment made in favour of an improper perfon.— If this be the only fair, rational, and true confine. tien of the Aft under which India has been governed for the 101 l twenty-two years, then it is incumbent on his Majeny's Mininers to thew fume cause, why they adviled his Majesty to recal the perfon whom they had originally recommended to be appointed as Go vernor General. For the whole period of twenty ' two years, since this aft Was paned, there was no in- Stance of his Majesty's Minillers having exercifed this power, and they Should be aware, that the molt per. nic:ous confequences might result from an indifcreet exercife of it. The situation of India now was de. licare in the extreme. The negotiations which were pending with the Native Power., and the retrench , merits which were to be carried on, required a Go vernment armed with the offal powers and confi• dente. If then, at filch a titre, tilt power of tecal was exercifed altogerlor without teafon, and ap parently with no other view than patronage. it was enough to irritate the Court of piTedors. If, then, the Court of Direftors were irritated by loch nodal (and it was known, that whim and ill humour had often great influence nn the determination of public bodie,); if they fupoofed,thot ibis power of recal was excrriied capricioufly and wantonly, they ecntld find from the words of the law fulficient means of refining any appointment that Inci Majesty's Minitfers miglo with to make. I have already gated to your Lordthips the fstuation in which India was placed at the death of the Marquis Cm nwelli%, and at :he time that Sir Geo. Barlow succeeded to the Government ; and with, that the first aft of his Majesty's fvlinifiets upon that oc. cation was to recommend to the Court of Diredlors the extending the power of Sir George Below. On this recommendation there was great joy in Look:, holl-nreet • for never was there an ind;vi.triai in the fervice of t he Comp:int: whole enr i l t oet irc c,,, I more marked approbation than that o! B'. Barlow, nor did the records of the Corap.nr thew a greater number of tears:tonics of Rojo osaoon • t the clouded of any individual that vier wan [heir ter. rice. The former Adrn;niftrati‘in hod concurred with the Company in their opinion of lais merits ; for when Marquis Wellefler was abort ercp, t i undo India in 1803. Sir George Barlow was the perfon whom they had named as his luccelfor. When, how. °ft mil=
