EAST INDIA HOUSE. T}l OTIDE PAPERS: I A Cetera' Court of Proprieto * was heid yester d ay, On the , stroject of the Oude payers. After the minutes else last Coate had been read, The CHAIRMAN roll tuned the proprietors, that there was laid hetote them a return of the Company's ship ping, a every description, Up to the 21st of last Dec., tontainieig the names of the ships—the amount of tonn , ge 'of each—the names of the Commanders—also' an accotnt of tne number of ships employed by the Company since 1813—the rate of tonnage—and the number and rt. wise of the voyages made by each. Sir JArr Dorce rose to make his motion. He ob served, that na order to a full understanding of the present subject. it would be necessary to revert to the circumstances under which these Oude papers came befote the public. When the Marquis of Hastings had ee,i2ried the Government of India, he threw together the leading features of his administration, in order to lay the account before his honourable emplayers.This statement, on his a-rival in England, was sent to the Court of Direc tors, who, not thinking it of an official nature, did not receive it in that way which would make it a matter of rec •rd with them. The Noble Lord, after this, shewed 'it to some of his friends, who requested him to have it published, but he sefus•d. Not long afterwards it loappened that an Ho..ourable Director (Colonel B lead occasion to give evidence before a Committee of the He use of Commons on a subject connected with India, and part of that evidence was sn much at vari ance with the statement given in the exposi of the ,Noble Lord, that an Honourable Baronet, a Member rot the House, was induced to call for explanation on the subject. The explanation was given by the produc- Rion of the immense - volume before them, which was )published by the friends of the Marqnis during his ;absence from the country. And now one question was, 'whose was that book? The Honourable Director (Colonel Bailie) had at the last Court denied it to be .his. It could not be that of the Marquis of Hastings, ins he was out i f the country ; but he begged to ask the :Honourable Deputy Chairman whether it was his? The Deputy Chairman (Sir Gamma Rostuson) ;said, that if the gallant General's question went to ;the whole of the papers contained in the book, lie ;would answer that it was not his. He had one object do view only in those parts of it for which he would Tersonally.answer—namely, the statement on the sub liect of the loans to the Company from the Nawab Vizier of Oude. It had been asserted that these loans were voluntary on the part of the Nawab, and to mark the gratitude he felt to the Noble Marquis for having relieved him from the thraldom in which he had been held by his predecessor. He would answer for the proiuction of those documents which related to that loan, but for the other parts he would not answer. Sir J. Done continued.—He would now revert to the motion which he intended to submit to the Court, connected with those papers. He would divide the subject into two parts—first, that which referred to the loan by the Nawab Vizier; and next, as fit the re moval of Colonel Bailie, from his situation as resident at Lucknow. One word, however, before he entered into the subject. Now as to the loan. When the Mar quis of Hastings left the seat of Government iu India. in order to car; y on the Nepaul war, he had ascertained that the Company's finances were in a bad state; and it. was.suggested as a resource by which the Company might Le assisted, that application for pecuniary assist ance should he made to the Nawab Vizier of Onde 'The Noble Marquis approved of this, but tilt that there would be a delicacy in doing it, as the Nawab had but recently succeeded to the Musnud. However, he added, that he would be determined by whlt he should see on his arrival at the residence of that Prince. On the Bth of December, 1814 (we believe) he arrived at Cawnpore. A vi.it of ceremony was made the nest day, and returned the day after. At these nothing was done ; but on the nett day, the Nawab, in the presence of Major ltickets and Captain M'Leod, made an offer to the Governor• General, for the use of the Company. of a crore of rupees (about one million sterling), and entreated that it might be accepted, not as a loan, but as a free gift. He stated this not merely on the autho ray of the Gentlemen he had named, but on that of I Colonel Baillie himself, who, though he was not pre sent when this offer was made, alluded to it in a letter which he afterwards wrote to the Government Secre tary, as having been mentioned to him at that time.— The gallant Officer here requested that several extracts from the immense volume of documents before the Court might be read ; they consisted of passages from letters of the Vizier to the Governor-General, with an offer of a second crore of rupees, in which he talked of their having no separate interests, and of his great desire to assist the Company : also of passages of letters from Colonel Baillie, in which he spoke of the readiness of the Nawab to give 50 lacs of rupees (half a million sterling) by way of gift ; and likewise a letter fro. the Marquis of Hastings to the Directors, in s'ep tember last, enclosing a statement of Mr. Rickets, in both of which there was a distinct denial of any reluctance on the part of the Nawab in granting the first loan. The gallant Officer next referral to A letter addressed by Colonel Bailie to the Secre tary, Joseph Dart, Esq. in 1823, in which he stated, that so far was the Nawab from offering volunta rily a crore of rupees, or any other sum to . Lord Hastings for the Company's use, that it was at his (Colonel Bailie's) earnest solicitation, and with great reluctance, that the money bad been advanced at all. Other extracts were read, confirming the gal lant General's statement. He would beg their atten tion to another document of a curious kind ; one in which he thought there was a direct attack on the proceedings not only of the Governor-General in Council, but also OR those of the Directors. This was a confidential letter from Colonel Baillie,dated March 2, 1315, at Lucknow, to Mr. Adam, the Secretary to the Governor-General, in which he asks him, 41 Have you seen all my letters to Rickets (another Secretary) on the vexatious subject of the extortion from the Vizier ?" 14 'never, there was extortion in the case (which be : 4 enied), what must be thought of the gallant Coloimib woo was, according to his own account. the promoter o; it? But what must that Court think at having a i p acceding which their Directors had approved,' cranded with the name of extortion? The gallant Ge neral then adverted to the circumstance of Colonel llailiie having ; published many letters addressed to him privately. lie would not, at present, trespass further 03 the Court. lie had, he thought, said enough to chew, that the light in which the Marquis of Hastings viewed the first loan as a voluntary offer on the part of the Nawab Vizier was a just one. and was clearly Proved by the oocunients before the Court. He would lio.s move a kw Resolutions. reserving to himself 4, motiou should be disposed of) to move *No- O , 11 )a nd ra RP ea to a• her set, founded on these pa s, and connected lithl the dismissal of the gallant Colonel fro s m his situatioi as resident at Lucknow. He then " That it appears to this tout that tlre first lotto obtained by the Goveinor General in 1154, was voltistirily 'Aired him by ' his linceileney the Vizier. " That the second loan was obtained by negoeiation, after a undid eiplanation of the financial embarrassments under which the Government of Bengal at that time !showed, and was never otherwise represented by the Governor General. • That this Court approves of the terms in which the Court of Directors conveyed ita approbation of both transactions." Mr. Hintz seconded the motion. Colonel Ilmitaz, after complimenting the gallant mover on the general candour of his tone, though mixed with some little vituperation, entered into a detail of the circumrances which led to his examination before a Comm ttee of the Hoose of Commons in 1822, which, he said, he declined, and expressed his utter reluctance to being called up'n to disclose confidential vimmuni- 1 cations made to him in the discharge of his public duty. The Committee, however, overruled his objection, and be was compelled to submit to their authority. He was asked whether, in consequence of communications made by him to the Vizier, he had not found him relucti o nt to lend money to this. Company ? His answer was to this effect—that on the occasion of the Vizier's acces s;on, an intimation was made to him (Colonel Willie) of his disposition to make a grant or douceur to the C .mpany, in con.ideration of the assistance received from them. To this he replied, that no such thing was desired by the Company, and that they had no wish for any part of the Vizier's wealth. Subsequently, on his calling on him and representing the exigencies of the Company, the Nawab naturally asked why this was not made known on his acceision, when the Company might have had as much as they wished ; to which he replied that the exigency did not then exist; and was not even expected—but that the Nepaul war had caused this exigency. In answer to other questions, the gallant Colonel observed, that he had expressed his opini in that the Vizier being a Mussulman, and not allowed by his religion to take interest on money lent, would have a reluctance to make the advance rtgiiired. He then went on to contend, that his assertions before the Corn- mittee were borne out by the facts. In stating that the loan was not Voluntary, he did not mean to say that it was compulsory, as opposed t 6 the term voluntary ; but that it was so far not voluntary, inasmuch as it was obtained by repeated application, and by persuasion.— tie then proceeded - at some length to contend, from review of the great reluctance with which the Iklawab consented to the second loan, and from the anxiety he I evinced to be secured against future similar applica- , Cons, that the Nawab himself did not look on the first VA a voluntary act of his, but rather as the result of solicitation on the part of the Company. As to the use of the word " extortion" in one of his (Col. Willie's) letters, as applying to the loan, he would admit that it was too strong, but it was not meant to convey the idea of a fraudulent exaction. The gallant Colonel then referred to a great variety of documents, to prove that the view he took of the transaction, and which he had described in his evident e, was correct; and in con clusion observed, that he would rely with perfect confi dence on the opinion of the Court as to his conduct. Mr.E.LLts, after remarking that the word " extortion" ' could not be hilly applied to what had ben the result of negotiation, said, with the general fairness of the explanation given by the gallant Colonel be was satis fied ; and he thought be might put the matter on its best ground by moving. as an amendment, that the words " readily obtained from," instead of 6 6 voluntarily offered by" the Nasvab, should . b. inserted in the first part of the resolution. Sir C. Fosses seconded this, and observed that though he admitted the fairness of the 'explanation given by his relative, Colonel Baillie, he could not help regretting that he had used the same candour in his mode of giving his evidence before the Committee, in which case the present discussion might have been spared. The reluctant, hesitating, and ambiguous man ner in which he had given his evidence, made him (Sir C. Forbes) and others imagine, that the discrepancy between his statement and that of the Noble Lord was much greater than-it now appeared, and that there was much more behind the curtain which it might be desirable to know. It now appeared that there was quite enough to justify the Noble Lord in calling the first loan voluntary (for on the character of the second they ware all agreed), though the gallant Colonel might have reason to believe that it was not a spontaneous act of the Vizier's. Mr. L. STANKOBS said, it was in consequence of the gallant Colonel's conduct to the Vizier, that he had been removed by Lord Hastings from his situation asßesident. Mr. Home said, he had expected that these papers would have been made the source of some charge against Lord Hastings, but there was none. If as much had been known before as was now elicited from the Hen. Director, this motion would have been unnecessary ; titit.as it was put, he hoped it would be carried. Mr. P. Mooaz said, there was no charge whatever against the Marquis of Hastings, and the sooner the discussion ended the better. With this view he should move that the Court do now adjourn. Mr. RIGBY seconded this motion, and after some few remarks from Mr. grausronz, Dr. GiLcHatsr, Mr. R. JACKSON, Mr. MANI, Sir J. Savant., Capt. MAXJIILD, Mr. Twitirne, and from Sir J. DOUAI (rather in sepia• nation than in reply), the question of adjournment. was carried in the affirmative by a large majority. BILLS OP HEALTII.—.III4 following is an extract of a letter from Vice-Adaziral Lord Mammas BLAIICLZSIL, dated on board his Majesty's ship OCIAIIp in the Tagus, SOth January, to the Chairman of the Committee at Lloyd's :••• 44 I beg leave to state to yoe, for the informa tion of the merchants, underwriters, &c. of the metro polis, and elsewhere, the great inconvenience, as well as detriment and expense, occasioned to the property of vessels bound to Portugal, or ether places, from not being provided with a bill of health on sailing from England. The law of Portugal puts every vessel not so provided, under four or five days quarantine. It has so happened this winter, that several vessels have put into Lisbon in distress, and from not being provided with the above precaution, the men of war, in tendering assistance in two instances, were obliged to act with great precaution, particularly to a brig called the Experiment, from London to the coast of Africa, and a schooner, the Fanny, of Bristol, bound to ibis port, drove on shore near the bar, and might have been got off the same tide, had a bill of health been produced. From the prompt assistance sent to her not being allowed to be put into execution, she remained three days on the sand, and at . great expense in discharging het cargo, as the authorit ies of the Health-office would not :Wow the boats of the squadron under my orders • to act." C 9 t, 01 COMMON COIINCLte. - Vesteihif ti sped it' dettedn Clittniii htfel, for the apeciitifflifpbOdftonsidering of a vote o tt sum of money AC the ilsbneription for the Relief of the Spitalfields Weav,eas. , A,Kequisition, signed by Mr. HICK and others, re questing the LORD MATOR to cunven! a Court, for the purpose above stated, was then read. Mr. Hint said, he had no connexion whatever with any portion of the community in whose behalf he thought it his duty to ask the aid of the Court ; but, from the accounts which had appeared in the Public Papers, from the musts which had been m ide from the several parishes, by which it appeared that no less than $O,OOO weavers were in a state of the greatest ' suffering, he thought there was a strong case made out for the charitable aid of this Court. lie had, as one of the Committee for the Mdnagement of the Fun is, sub- scribed to the Relief of the Houseless Poor. He had seen nearly 1,000 of the weavers who had applie.l for rel ef, to whom a penny losf and a cup of water per day was all they could give, and he co:114.1 declare that their sufferings were extreme. It would be for the Court to say what sum they would give, whilst th-ir fiances were in so depressed a condition. He thought of a'king them f about 3001. Jr.ra Deputy Dow secondod a motion for giving this sem. Mr. S. Dtx•nt was for giving a moderate sum. The Court should not forget that they would have o her claims upon them, and he was induced to recomm•-ni this course because the ma-ter ■ilk-manntacturers, who had the best knowledge of the circumstances, had not subscribed by any means so 14rgely as they were bound to do for their men, who had the strongest claims upon them, if the distreises were so severe as had been represented. Mr. JUPP said, the extent and severity of the distress was unquestionable. If these on whom the sufferers has the strongest claims had not done so much as they ought, that circumstance should be a stimulus to the Corporation to make an additi inal exeition. The King had set them a noble example of liberality. He moved, AS an amendment, that the sum of 5001. should be given. Mr. STEPHENS, of Wshopsgate-street, seconded the motion. The Corporation that subscribed 2,0001. to the suffering Russians; 1,0001. to the suffering Germans, 5004 to the poor Irish, and he thought they should not give less to those who resided so much nearer home. The Spitalfields poor had claims beyond any other class. They mostly resided out of the City, and the burden of maintaining their poor fell upOii the out parishes, whilst the profits derived from the sale of their labour was received by the wholesale dealer, who re sided in the City, and paid no share of the poors rates in the out•parishes. The appeal to the public had not, in his opinion, been answered in a manner equal to the fair expectations. Alderman Tifostrient agreed that the appeal to the public had fallen far short of the expectations formed. from what bad been done in other cases. He did not think it necessary to go into an it.quiry as to the causes by which the distress had been produced ; it was quite sufficient for him that it existed. But he might say it was his opinion that the distress was occasioned by the apprehension of competition; arising from the open ing of the foreign maiket—(Cries of .4 Ivo, no r) That apprehension had been increased in various ways, yet he believed it would be found that British skill aiio. ingenuity, when fairly exercised, would ohm.. triumph. He supported the motion for the larger suer. Mr. Alderman WAITHIIAS begged .so rewind the Court, that some years ago, a very considerable sum was raised for the relief of houseless poor, and that a surplus of about 10,0001. remainett- ht the bands of somebody after all disbursement. 'Now he it,ked why et this time was this sum allowed to lie dormant ? The master silk weavers were censured fir not hav ing been conspicuous on the list of subscribers; but it was forgotten that the distress had fallen not only on the journeymen, but on the masters, upwards of one hundred of whom were, he believed, now in a state of the greatest alarm and uncertainty.— One cause had been ascribed to rash speculations; now it was really astonishing to see the manner in which men in the House of Commons, pretended to know more of the nature of men's business than men knew themselves. It was doubtless true that much distress had been occasioned by rash schemes, and Joint Stock I Cos:span:es, brought out with the names of Members *' Parliament at the bead of them—but there had bensi none of this in the silk trade. There had been specula tions which had drawn vast quar.tities of money out of the country, for which paper had been substituted, and they were now about to feel the consequences. He apprehended that the distress would be permanent. — The question was, whether the French silks were to be allowed to be sold here? If they war, it must 1).- evidently to the diminution of the consumption of Bri• tish silks. He thought the Ministers should have corn menced their new system by the repeal of the Corn Laws, and the reduction of the Assessed Taxes. The largest subscription would do lute to remedy the wide spreading distress which the partial system had created. Look at Manchester, Macclesfield, and the We t of England, and the suffering that was spreading there. He concluded by expressing his opinion, that the Court ought to give the largest sum. Mr. EWELL declared, that still more severe sufferings were to be expected in the country. He commented on the conduct of Alderman Thompson, who was an advo— cate for tree trade, with respect to the Corn Laws. Alderman Tisouesou most unequivocally declared himself opposed to the principle of the Corn Laws, and said, that the existence of such an impost was a disgrace to a free country. Mr. GALLOWAY was of opinion, that the low state of the subscription was attributable to the general distress. He contended that the Corn Laws crept Lust to have been repealed. The Court were booed, in discussing the question, to consider whether they were to aid in sustaining men through temporary or lasting distress? He was tur giving the larger sum. Mr. 11. TAYLOR felt himself obliged to state his con. viction that we distress of the Silk Trade arose not from the Act alladagi to, but from other causes which equally affected other trades, such as the stuff trade and the woollen trade. The distress in the worsted trade was nut affected by the Act; that there werelo,ooo hands .but of employissent of the silk weavers, was most ap• 'parent; that griatest number were congregated in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. it was the interest of the silk masters, who had a. particular point to carry, to make this distress most conspicuous.' He supported the vote For the' sMallest sum. Mr. Oicinag - lamented that 4siestiOns . 4 this nature *ere iterated as political . questm.s.
