JACKSON moved, that the letter of the Cowl of Directors to the Right Hon. George Canning, dated 42c1 December last, should be read ; as also the answer of that Right Hon. Gen tletuan, dated 45th December last. After the letters had been read, Mr. It. JACKSON rose and said, that agreeably to the pledge he had given at the last meeting of the Court, he should refrain from any thing like political discussion, and should confine himself to those :ervicea of Mr. Canning. with which they were best acquainted. When lie made that pledge, it was not that he was slot sensible of Mr. Canning's great talents; but in a country like this, gifted not ouly with the finest Constitution. but with the finest understandings to appreciate it, there was, and he trusted there always would be, considerable difference of opinion in political mat ters. When Mr. Canning should have become the subject of history, notwithstanding any difference on political topics, maple justice would be done to hie integrity and capacity. The Court had a dif ferent task to perform. What Mr. Cunning's conduct had been during the time he was President of the Board of Control, he need not inform the 'Proprietors, after reading the eloquent letters which had been laid before them. The Directors. in their letter, bad referred to some traits of conduct, so disinterested, that they could not refrain frurn expressing their approbation, and on these grounds lie intended to propose the Resolu tion which he was about to submit to the Court. An Hon. Friend of his at the last meeting had said, that he should have been more satisfied if some documents were produced on which to found the proceeding. but he could not conceive • document of higher authority than the united testimony of twenty-four gentlemen, who mutt have had the most complete opportunity of judging of the merits of the Right Hon. Gentleman. His Hon. Friend's wish for documents was eiiiirely di,- • interested, for he of all mankind had the least occasion for documents to form his jedgment, as lie had borne testimony from prowled observation to the merits of Mr. Canning. If precedents were wanting, he hail one completely satisfactory in the case of Lord Melville; indeed it was a case com pletely in point, with a single exception, and that exception would not, he imagined, tend to lessen the concurrence of the Court to the proposition he had to propose. In 1814, on Lord Melville, then Mr. Dumb's, expressing his intention to retire from public life, a vote of the Court of Directors, appsoviug of Isis conduct as • Minister for India. then was had. and received the concurrence of a Genersl Court of Proprietors, which consisted then, as Dow, of Gentlemen of all political opinions. That vote was followed up by a vote for a pen sion, hut nothing of that sort was intended in the present cute, and he believed. were it proposed, the Right Hon. Gentleman himself would be the first lo point out the impropriety of such a reward coming front that body, which had been the object of his immediate cumuli. Though he highly ay provtd the conduct of Mr. Cannin g, there were two propositions in his letter with which be could nut exactly agree. The Honourable Pro prietor then referred to taut part of Mr. Cun ning's letter, in which he spoke of the Board of Control as one necessarily invidious in its nature from having power to check, but be ing incapacitated from performing a single act of grace and favour. If this passage weie introduced to shew that, notwithstanding such circumstances, he bud still so acted as to merit the thanks of the Prepiietors, it was well; but if it was written to 'hew, that one of the restraints of which he COM.. pluineil could be dispensed with, then he must dissent from him, for he thought it was the highest praise of the Board of Control that it had not the power to originate a single appointment. —Mr. Canning, iii adverting to that part of the Court of Virectors' letter in which they compli mented him fur his concurrence in the measure of appointing two of their servants to two Govern ments its India, spoke of it as an exception to a general rule, but he (Mr. Jackson) denied that there was any rule on the subject, except that of chatelaine ci tely ; mid, in justice to the servants of the East India Company, he thought it right to take the objection in &sine. whenever it should be insincited, either by ibedvettence or des*b. An Hon. Proprietor (the Hon. Colonel ; Stanhope) whose concurrence he should covet, had debirt d to withhold it ell he should be satisfied Ad Mr. Call-. fling's conduit in regard to the Asiatic peer, From the answer of Mr. Bathurst in the Houser f COnSIIIOIIII O when challenged, as if t h e Boo m ed of which lie is President had satictioned reetriettees on the press, he had answered that no dis t :ascot In, been sent authorising any reontisits on the lairs% 11l India, From the recent appointinent of that Gen tleman, it most be inferred that he spoke of gni dispatch having been sent by Mr. Canioing.

Mr. PARRY rave to second the motion. Ho apologised for presenting himself for that porpea., but, from the circumstance of Nettie% been los it connected with the periodical press, he could not bat Say that the countenance which Mr. Cannin g had, given to the freedom of the press in A•ii, pressed so forcibly on his mind that he must he excused for (offering himself to the notice of the. Court. It had fallen to his lot to promulgate opi • nions contrary to the maxims of his filsjeste'e Government, to which that Right Honourabl e Gentleman had given his high and shinieg abilities; but no difference in political sentimeets should induce him to withhold a candid acknow ledgment of the merits of public men, when it sp peered that they were actuated by a desire to pro.: mote the welfare of their country, sod contribute to the happiness of the human race. In his opinion no man was more deserving of the testimony which had been borne by twenty-four of their Directors to the urbanity and conciliatory manner its which he had performed functions of a restrictive and in vidious character. Cordially concurring as he did in the expression of approbation uttered by their Executive, and agreeing with the Honourable and Learned Mover that the letter signed by those twenty-four Gentlemen was • sufficient ground for the Resolution proFosed, he did not conceive other documents necessary. At the same time, when he found the motion had met with the con. currence of an lion. Member of Parliament (Mr. Hume), who represented Isis native city, and whose inquisitive mind had,in the present Session, rendered such important services to the country--whets he found that Hon. Member joined its it, be thought the Court might be satisfied that if there had been any thing objectionable in the conduct of Mr. Cm.• ring, he would have been the first to have brought. It forth. lie would not details the Court by any animadversion on the letter which had been read; but in the quotation made by the Hon.and Learned Mover he conceived that it related solely to the manner its which Mr. Canning had exercised his corrective and coercive powers, not as complaining of those powers, but to shew that lie had executed them so as to draw from the Court of Ditectors no thing like unkind feeling. Conceiving that the light of a free Press was as essential to our improve ment here us the light of religion was to our holies. hereafter, he could not hut rejoice that it had been extended to the numertous inhabitants of Ilindos tan. There the press had been in the heeds of two distinct, orders of men. The one native British born, on whom a censorship had existed ; the other class were half cast, who were subject, as in this country, only to the jurisdiction of the Courts of Law. The consequence of such a stare of things was, that the press was shut to the liberal and ene lightened, but was open to the hall-infortned, front whose crude speculations it was that danger to good govereasseert might he expected, but never lions the operations of a free and enlightened press. The Honourable Proprietor concluded by express ing his hearty concurrence *ills the motion. The Hon. Col. STA/more agreed in the justice . of the eulogy which had beets pronounced ots Mr. Canning's conduct, and particularly in the concur rence lie had given to the appointments of Iwo ser vants of the Company to the Governments of Rous h:ly and Madras. One of the individuals (Mr. Elphinstone) stood high in character as an Oriental scholar, a diplomatist, an author, a traveller, and governor. In his latter high capacity, the first act of his government had been to do away with the hateful censorship of the press, and finding that Mr. Canning had advocated that great cause, he should give Isis support to the motion with all his heart. Mr. LOWN Ins heartily concurred in the motiaw, but deprecated any attempt hereafter to follow is up by it proposition for a pension. Mr. JACKSON reminded the Hon. Proprietor that he had distinctly stated that nothing of the sort was intended. The Hon. D. KINNAIRD said, the Resolution was merely a Resolution of compliment, without ins, ez expres•ion of thanks, and on the part able. Cennieg he must say, that he never knew au instance wiser.- the name ohany Gentleman had been brought before a public assembly to so little, or rather he would say. for no eurthly purpose whatever. The letter of the Court of Directors was merely a personal letter, thanking the Right lion. Gentleman for the manure in which he had conducted himself towards them in the discharge of his duties ; best that was a matter in which the Court of Pruptietors could not back them, as they knew nothing at all about it. Indeed, if the Court of Directors had thaw more than thank Mr. Calming for his persona/ de meanour to themselves, they would have been pre sumptious. They were, perhaps, from their Musa.. trouts the only body of Englishmen who could give uo opinion on the manlier in which he hod rise rally discharged his duties beyond that poiut. The . Hon. Proprietor then read and commented la part of the letter of the Court of Directors had been embodied in the Resolution, owl tuts.
