LORD M LRILL E'S IMPIACHMS II Y. Mr. WHITBREAD moved the Order of the Day, for taking Into timbre casdideration the Additional Article of Impeachment againft Lewd Melville; whleKArtiele being read, Mr. WHITBREAD moved, That the fad Article he added to thole Malady voted for the Impeachment of Lord Valmont Mel loc.—Ordered ; of l that the Paid Article be eon/wired.

It included Air *wide of lenwahmait, and fared to the Commons the right of prefarting fartheg Article(. It was read a Aril and feemol time • Agreed to, alerted, and ordered is be carried to the Moore of Lords by Mr. Whitbread ; praying, that I.ord Melville might be put to b ad the fame. Mr. Whitbread went up forthwith. at tended by Lewd Temple, Mr. Van fittart, and fevers, other Mem bers; and being retumed,reported to the Houle that he had pee. rented the rime, porfeant to Order et the Houle. IMO ACIr. Mr. TJERNEY role, in purfuance of hi: police, to move for leave to bring in a Biil to prevent Can didates at Eledinns from being pat to charges and expences. The Right Hnn. Gentleman Rated, that an Ad of William the Third was the fouldatioo, upon which he went. • His obje ct in moving or ant, $lll was to render Ekdinns not a matter ot riot and confufion, but of peace and good order, and to re move all doubts refpeding non•refident voters. The At . to which lie had alluded, had art one word hi it which made any diflindion between thole voters refident In the place where the election was carried en, and thole who refided at a dillance. His view; aberefore, was to make his BPI a Declaratory one, and to get at ref, ail doubts as to the conllrudion to be put on the Ad of William. The great expentic which Candidates- were burthened with, prevented many well difpofed perfons from offering theirifelvse at an Eledion. Voters reliding at a dillance were in the practice of receiving large lams to pay their travelling expenees ; added to which they mull be paid for lob of time. There bad been different opi nions upon the conarudion of the AA, and lonic of his I.earned Friends were 'at alb(' to advife,th-ir clients what cootie to purfue with relped to allowing travellimt ettpences, fo as-sot. to incur the penalties of the )3 ribert AR. The Woreefter Election Cont• inittee, in iyl4, l 4Cias the Era deellion which he could find : tkere,. according to the very excellent kepaut cf my Lord,Glenbervfe, it.was decided, that a voter was entitled to reisfonable compenfation for Ifs o f time. Decifions under the 'Grenville AR had been made on quite different grounds. It had been decid• ed, that a voter was entitled to his travelling ex pences. 'Fp be fare, in the latter cafe, lie was ready to idmit that a man in circumftaneed was not going on his own ballad's, but that of other ptrfons.—(2/ lairgh). Difficulties in deciding under the Ad had auks occurred in Warninner Hall. The Court of King's Bench and Common Pleas held different opi nions. In the cafe of Ribbons v. Cricket[, which was an allion brought by an innkeeper agAinft a can ,3;date, C'fief Janice Eyre held that the adion was bottomed in the malurn prohibits:2n ? " that the Court was in no wife ndet the Aof William 111 b:und to enforce a con u tra& which that Aft had declared vicious; that the Lesi4ature bad drum a Ark) line of duty for them to puerile, which it wa: im pollible to depart from, and therefore the plaintiff had no tight to come there." The Court of King's Bench decided contrary. The cafe of Smith se. Slee, which was an action brought by an itinerant rourfician for lots of time, to recover the Imo of 301 The plaintiff, a freeman of Durham, had demanded 301. for his travelling expel ces in ring from Taunton to that city to give his vote. But the Court on that oc cation had not put a flop to his fiddle ; they eon& &red that though he had made an exprefs bargain by letter for that fum for leifs of time , yet that the diftance from Taunton to Durham, and the expence of polling at the rate of is. 6d. per mile, he might have expended the whole fum. He therefore obtain ed a verdia. The Right Honourable Gentleman ei.nrended, therefore, that theft two cafes were fuffi eient for him to call upon the Legiflature to inter. fere, and by a declaratory Bill to take from the can: didate2 all pretence of paying voters. It certainly had been in the contemplation of the framers of the Al of William to pref . ,' a general remedy for the abates, and not to confine it to thof: aftually refi4ent. It had been urged againtt the introduftion of his Bill. that it would go to disfranehife three fourths of the etearos in the kingdom; he, however, was not of ,hat opinion; he &mild not have brought the robjedt forward, if be conceived it would have that tendeo cy. He thought that if the Bill &odd be received, I it might be defirahle to give the nontefident voter compenfation in Come other way. Voters reftding at a distance, if they choof to go, fhould go at their own expence, ood not at the Candidate's, becaufe he, would go to pleafe himfelf. In the cafe of the fidlero. it was evident that the man by removing himfelf had ceafed to b;ye any interelt in the property of Dur ham ; by refiding at Taunton, be became entitled to . vote for that Borough, and, thetefore. by the change, to two votes. In making Cie bargain for 301. he had an eye to his own, and not to the public uttered. The Right Hon. Gentleman confeffed, that among the variety of argument; ured againff bit Bill, none bad (truck him fo forcibly as that which i f refpeaed County Eleaions. He admitted there yet a difference with refpea to vl4e,b, efpecially in flick large counties as Yotk, where of neceflity the voters raided at a great din:trice from the place of elation; but that objettion might he obviated by taking the poll in different parts of the county. It had been urged, that with refpeft to freeholders of forty Wl 'logs per annum, that it was impoffible they coubt afford to convey themfelves to the place of eleftios.l To this objection he would anfvier, 'that it might beo better for the frenjom of count's , elections iEfuch fret- ' holders were not known. The Right Honourable Gentleman referred to the Aft of Henry VI. which gives to petiolns . parceling a freehold *of that value the right of voting, and contended that from the great depreciation in the value of money, fince the time of Henry, a freehold Rated at the valise of aos. 'would now be 301. —he therefore was of opinion that the right of voting fhould not be veiled in any free holders not poffeffing 301. per Annum in freeholds.— cry of Hear! Hear!) It certainly was the Inten tion of the Legiflature at that time, and taking It fairly, that the depreciation was fifteen times more than at the time he alluded to, it certainly was but juft to give the tight to freeholders if 301. per ann. The great expences attending enntelled Eleaions de• 'erred men of moderate fottones from coming for ward ; men vflio were folly competent to reprefent 'the people; men polfelfing abilities, independence, - and aria integrity. It was well known that a man travelled much cheaper at his own expence then at the expence of another. He had no diliftupon him, and did not (top fo often to drink. (Pasigh.)--Per. lons would walk to fairs at confiderable distances for their own amulement, but when Elcation was the word, they could not flir a mile witho,pt a poll claire. It had been fuggefled this might be &lie by coil:ROI rate, to which had no objeftion. Inflead of ima& ing county elections a fcene of riot and difgrace, and clofe compromift, recourfe might be had to the old Englifh hofpitality, though to this praCtice an *coo don had been taken as coming within the Treating Al.f He then referred to the laft three elections for Southwark in proof of the order and' decorum ob ferved dunng the poll, when, inftea4 of the eleftors coming drunk, they had polled fober, and yet he faw no diminution of the fpirit of elections.. A Bill bad been paffed twenty year; before the Treating Alt, which enjoined Candidates Trom fpending more than five pounds to carry their elections, which, however, was afterwards increafed to tee pounds. He profeffed to have no other objeft in view in bringing in the Bill than making the law declarneory. It would open the door to the aJrniflion of many Gentlemen mho were virtually secluded at prefent, who could nut afford to fpend 20, $O, or 40,0001. in a conceit for a county —men of independent forfones, awned mad refpea ed. ()WIC were the men lie wilhed to fee within there -doors ; men who perhaps were not in the poffeiton of more than 6001. per annum, which qualified them for Cooney Members, or 3001. fur Borough Members. 'Dealt& would not operate to the injury of the monied or the landed intern', it would wily injure thole who relied their pretenlions to a feat in Parliament alone to their money. ( A cry of Hear Hear o—Thp Right Honourable Gentleman con cluded with moving -o o Foy trove to bring in a am to explain and reader more effec tual the MI of MIMI 111. called the t rearing - Mr: Secretary FOX was certainly of opinion with the Right Honeurable Gentleman on many of the points he had Rated, with rofpea to the heavy ex pence. to %%NO candidate; were put ; but he telt it oeceffary te,ltaie thus ea,ly, that there were many other paints upon which' Ire difin ed.iti opinion from the Right' Honourable Gentlemia, and that I ihardifficulres niter' which he feemed toyers fo light ly, Walt not fo e4fily remedied a; be teemed to ima gine. The Right Honourable Gentlemen' had ex. pre fie d an opinion, that , forty. (billing freeholders at this day were not the . fame kind of men originally in tended under that qualification ; and that the qua tfication ought to ire-railed to thirty pounds, on ac count of the depreciation of money fince the days of Henry VI. bee be, for one, was not dilpofed to abridge de mstber'of that ale of voters, or to take away their francltifes, betapfe of the fcantinefs of their property. He. too, was ready to rec;tr to the origin of their franehife, and to compare it with the circum. Rance' otthe preknt day ; and, (vim this compari. fon, he was rattly rejoiced of their increare of nom• bars, at a petio4 when the liberties and the Conflitu tion of ibis trio y wcre fo mach better uodcrltood, than in the days of York and T.Ancafter, when their' t atie:iifise were regulates! under an aritlocratical fcheme, to ablidge the tights of eleeion. The Right Honourable Gentleman, he believed, as he had pro /cited, would not now vote to disfranchife them ; but he, Mr. Fox, could not tee the fairnefs of flinch. ing (itch a measure to others, if the Right Honoura ble Gentleman thought it was one for which he him felt deemed it improper to vote. He was very fedi ble, the Right Honourable Gentleman's arguments would very Itrongly apply, not only to York, but to Lancaller, and to many other counties in 'ht. king dom, and that fame remedy was defirable. To a plan formerly propofed for taking the votes of the freeholders in their refpeeive diaries, or at their own residencies, he was, heretofore, no friend ; but yet he fluni:d certainly vote for fuch a regulation, in prefer ever to any plan which should go to disfranchife any contiderable number of forty Ihilling freeholders ; a coacquence much worfe, in his mind, than any in convenience complained of on the part of the dates. The Honourable Gentleman had argued, that no man had a right to vote at an eleeinn, for I any town of which he was not a refttlent ; but was he aware of the extent to which loch a privation would go? or, how could he reconcile the principle of disfrancnifing an elator s whole neceLlary occaficas, or means of livelihood, fhould occasionally require his absence froM the place whence he derived his right of franchife: He thought the Right Honour. able Gentleman, upon mature confideration, would not approve Inch a principle ; for bow would it ope rate on the militiaman, who, for no other cause than his removal to a diftanr county for the lervice of his King and Country, mull forfeit his franchife, others he choofes to travel at an expence wholly incompa tible with his obvious circuratances in life ? He hat ed there few objcds, merely that the Right 11On. Member might fee he had in lune degree confidered the Attlee, and that the remedies were not quite fo eafy as he feemed to imagine. But if the qualifica tion of the forty (hitting freeholders, agreeably to the lunation of the Right Honourable Gentleman,'were to be railed to thirty pounds per annum, how was he to reconcile the continuance of the reprefentatives qualification at Root. for a county, and rot. for a borough 1 For though Mr. Fox &mild will; thofe qualifications Rill lower, and was as defirnus as The Honourable Gentleman to inereafe the number of Candidates, and to open a wider dons: for the admif lion of fuch Members to that Houk as he had del cribed, yet Purely men patching qualifications no higher than 6001, or goof. a year, were no more of the defcription of men at this day, originally defignat. ed by thofc qualifications, than even the modern iot. freeholders coMpired with the ancient ; confequent ly, if the qualification of the one be advanced, fo mull that of the other, in a limited ratio. He fincere ly whiled, with the Honourable Member, that the meaning of the Ad in queßion humid not be left in doubt, and that no difficulties should Rand in the way of dommiitees In forming their decifion ; but be.' could not agree to disfranchife any man merely cattle he was poor. To any competent regulatiou i clear of this, or of disfranehifing any eonfiderable number of voters id the country, he &outd have objeeinn. Mr. TIERNEY explained. Mr. LEE thought the arguments of the Right Hon. Gentleman 'tended to do that by a fide wind, which he diravnwed'ili direct intention. Sir KOBERT BUXTON begged leave to differ from the Honourable Member moll materially ; as he had ever underflood that the freeholder, in exer cising his frauchife, did it for the advantage of the omMunity at lar;e. The queftion being now put, leave was given to —o- -- INDI• parses. Mr. JOHNSTONE safe, purfuant to notice, to move for copies of two letters written by Lord 04:Is maili' to the Court of Dite,gtors, as alfo of a • letter from Sir George Barlow; his fatceffor in the Govern- . Matt of India. He ditclaimed any'perfrinal arridio fity to the Marquis Wellefley, pr any with to bring charges agairill him, but he thought it was neceiTary that the Houle Ihould at length turn its attention to the mode in which India had been for a long time ,governed, and that the Members fhould compare the ifyaem of Lord*Cornwallis with that of his predecef kr, end make up their minds on the fubjea. As for his part, he felt that the Empire was indebted to the Marquis Wellefley for fo much of his fyllem es can blilhed our military reputation and afoadancy in India, but be highly djfapprpved of the lengths to which that (yam was afterwards palled, when, un• der pretence of defenlive war, all the Native Powers of India were forced to receive Britith garrifons, and were.kcpt in greater fubjettion in their own capitals than the Kings of Wirtemberg and Bavaria are at thif moment by the Emperor of France. Wnder vague pretences, a great part of the territory of our ally, the Nabob of Oude, was wafted from him, and the polleffions of - the Nabob "of Arcot were feized under the .pretence of treafon, Paid to have been committed by that Prince almoh under the eyes of Lord Cornwallis. Highly as he difapproved of that part of Lord Wellefley's fyftem, he by no means truant to biing any charge againtt him on that ac count, as hr could not impute to him any improper motives. He only conlidered :hat his Lurdfhip was porfeffed of too ardent a mind, and views of too great ambition. He hoped theHotife would recur to their former resolution, old shat that Should be for the future the eflablifhcd fyllem of Indian Go vernment. Choler tl.e former fyftem, , se:Noble Lord (CafileteaO) had often' expatiated ott althea , rages that were to refttlt from it, but v.hicb promifes were never tealifed—whereas, on the other fide ' it appeared that the real Situation of our larks in In dia had become fo diftreffed, that 2oo t oool. have I been stopped from the treaftire deftined for China, and e0,0c.01. borrowed from the government at Ma dray, to help to defray the arrears of pay to a number of irregular troops, which are kept up at an expence of 60,ep01. per month, and whole fupport is 'timed to he much more injurious to the Company than their ho'tility in the field could In. lie them took a review of the various treaties catered low by 4he Marquis Welldley with the Native Powers, molt of which he thought highly impolitic. • A very Wert time after the treaty with the 1(44 of IThotiPme, that Prince admitted our enemies into his fortreSres, and the Britifh army loft above three thonfand men in vainly endeavouring to take his capital. The treaty witbSchatlia be equally difapproved of. SOMC • difputes Lad atifen ah•int the ennflrodion or Come of , ' the articles of that treaty, Nod Scindia immediately feized and impritoned the Da ifh Refident in hi. do minions, which veto the occafion of the preterit ear in India. He thought it was full time for Parliament , to lay down tome filed principle, and he hoped the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Fox) would con fttit to thC papers he now moved fur, and would pnr- Me, in pradiee, thofe principles which he had fo of ten profeffed on India affairs. He thought it ticcef- Lay that the Government thould now declare the precife plan, on which they /1124.6 that India thould be governed in future. He concluded by moving for Copies of two Letters, written by Lind Canwallis, bearing date on the loth of Auguß, and 9th of Sep tember, 1804. Mr. FOX raid, that he bad no intention whatever to (Ned to the production of die papers moved for, although he mull obferve that his Honourable' Friend did not appear to him to have Rated any ne• ceffity or parliamentary ground, upon which they ought to be laid before the Houle. As to du- ri..• t 4: mutable Gentleman's allufion to the prrpriet) .f a declaration on the part of his Majesty's aiinillei s, relative to the fyftem of Government meant to be afted upon with regard to India, he was at a lots to conceive any reafon upon which that demand could be juftified. No difpofition was manifested to der viate from the courfe which was now purfuing re fpeding India—and until fuch a difpofition &mild appear, he apprehended that it was quite unneceffitry in Minillers to make aay declaration upon the fubjed —indeed, it teemed to his mind that, according to prailice, Come refulution fhould be adopted by the Bonk, eapreffive of its opinion and before • Minifters were called upon to enter into the queßion. The Honourable Gentleman had alluded to the opinions formerly delivered by him (Mr. F.) relative to the Government of India. To there opinions, he could affure his Honourable Friend, that he completely adhered. They were declared above four and twenty years ago, and as far as he bad fine as opportunity of &ifes-wing the affairs of India, to which, perhaps, he had not attended as much as other men had "done, pr as much as he ought, he had never feels or heard ofa traafaition whiefi - ferved to weaken the confidence he entertained in the juftiee of his original opinions, but which did not rather tend tel their complete juftification. However, an Ad had paffed in confequence of the refolutions upon the fubjed of India, which he had the honour of Cup. • porting. That Alr had been now proceeded upon f for a ferries of years, and whet; the fobjed fhauld be regularly brought forward for difculfion, he vron/d be perfectly ready to gate his fentiments ref peding At prefent lie Should only fay, that under that A a Board of Controol had been appointed, and of the Boards which had prefided over the Government of India, be few leaft ground to queßion the inten tions, or to afk explanations, as m the views of the prefent. by Whom every difpofition was (hewn to follow the courfe prefcribed in the Refolutions for- merly adopted by the Houle, and of which the Honourable Mover profelred to approve. No one could doubt the propriety of entering into an inveßi gaildn of the affairs of India, but the prefent did not appear to him to be the proper time. When the India Budget Sall be brought before the Houle, his Hon. Friend was aware, that the Rater/tent to be looked for en that occifion, which he hoped would be fatisfac. tory, would naturally be connected with die political fyllein of India, and that then would be the proper time to (*lea for a full .difeuffion of that fubjed.— The Right Honourable Gentleman repeated his difindimition to oppofc t ie production of thole papers, although no adequate reafon was affigned by the Mover, although no intention was announced, pror, puling an inquiry, or of grounding any proceeding.' upon them. 'At the fame time he took occafion to remark, that ha Fould not conceive any good reafinti q , for the alarm and anxiety which was. by his Hon.-, Friend, and by other Friends, for whom he had ea high relive& fo particularly Rated to prevail with' regard to the Government of India. It really appeared to him very thane, a much greater degree ofjealonfy Should feem to apply to the prefent Board of Conttoul, than to that which preceded it. Upon the whole the Right Hon. Gentleman did not feel the propriety of tailing upon Minifters for any chain& pledge as to the courfe of policy which they meant to follow with regard to India. No in tention appeared to esif , either on the part of his Majefty's Government, the Board of Cantroul, or the Court of Directors, to abandon the courfe of which all fides of the Houle expreffed their approbation, and therefore no pledge was requifite. If any variation , of circumflances timid call for a change of fyftem, an eaplanation would of courts become neceffary.— But in the prefent 'offence he did not think that any further e :planation or pledge could be fairly required. Mr. HILEY ADDINGTON concurred with what had fallen from the' Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Fox), be did not fee chit any neceffity had been ffiewn for the production of the papers which Sad been moved for, but at the fame time he taw no objection to their being produced, efpecially as the contents of them were already pretty public. and as the Hon. Mover had, in his fpeech, read a long extract from one of thofe letters (which, as an EaR India propri etor, he had teen) he thought that it would be the bell way to produce the papers, in order that the whole of the letters might be before the Houk, in- Read of a partial extract. He, as a Member of the Board of Controql, had confidered thole treaties on which the Hon. Mover had made fo many obferva tions ; and he viewed thole tranfadions in a very diffetent light. As to that with the Rajah of Burt pore, it would not be fair to charge the failure of the treaty upon the maker of it. The failure was owing to the unexampled treachery and perfidy of that Piince, and not to any improper conduct in Lord Wellefley, who concluded the treaty with him, lie fincerely gave the Hon. Mover the greateft credit, for the motives which had induced him to bring for. ward the prefent motion, and was fore that it was n ut at ell dictated - by any perfonal animfity to Martini, Wellefley. He hoped he might alto obtain credit, when he Rated, that it was from public motives alone. that he was averte to prejudging any part of the conduit of Lord Wellefley, which, on a future day. would come before them more regularly for difcuf fion. As to the papers now moved for, as he law no objection to their production. he Ihould not oppofe it. Mr: GRANT declared that the Court of Directors had no other intention than to purfise the (Om re• commended in -the Refointions alluded to by the . Ilk
