WAR IN INDIA. i♦lr. HOWARTH row, in conformity with the no tice hr had given, to move for certain papers, rela tive to the war in India. Aware as he was of the indifference, not to sap apathy, with which the affairs of India we►r viewed in that House, hr 61 111 use abstained from calling the attent►on of Gentlemen to this subject, if he did not feel the extreme impure/nice of the transactions which had recently taken place in that country, to the true interests of ( lilltaill. HIS object Will purely to uht tin information—mid hr trusted such papers would be laid before the House, as would enable them, on some future occas►on, to form a correct opinion of the causes which had led to the extensive WU' fare now carrying on ill India. So far back as the year 1784, the late Lord Melville brought for w..rd certain' resolutions, which received the sanc tion of Parliament. One of them stated, •, That to pursue }themes of conquest, slid aim at the extension of our dominions in India, was repugnant to the interest, honour, and policy of this nation." After ten years' experience, when the Company's charter was again to he renewed in 1793, that reso lution was embodied in an Act of Parliament, and it was at present an Act of the Legislature. It ap peared to him extremely curious, that the Govern ments of India should be so particulatly circum stanced, from that period to the present day, as to find themselves uniformly under the necessity of •iolating, to a great degree, that very Act of Par liauntit. If they looked to India, East, West, North, or South, they would find ample confirms tion of this assertion. If any Member of that House would examine the Company's possessions its 1783, and compare them with their present (vent, he would be astonished to fluid, that the precautions of the Legislature to prevent the ex tension of our dominions in India, had been very little attended to. The war now carried on in India was denominated the Pitidaree war—a term not generally understood. At the decline and fall gal the Maliometan empire, a great many petty Chieftains, who held by military tenure, set up fur themselves ; if their pntuae•siona did not enable them to support themselves, they plundered their neigh bours. They were, in consequence, called Pin da►ea—the atm, purely meaning a robber. They collected together annually, when the rainy sea soa was net r—divided themselves into separate bodies—and proceeded in different directions, in search of spoil. They then committed every spe cies of plunder ; but, when attackt.d, imme diately dispersed. It was very singular, that there should be colle.•ted together the materiel of an aruiy such as was uow embodied in India, for the purpose of overturning such a power as this. He conceived that a regular army was tint the force best calculated to subdue hordes of this descrip tion. The Marquis of Hastitigs raised an ialinett‘ e artily, with which, he said, lie meant to attack the ji lli d are e e — but the fact was, the rind:trees were the only enemy he had not met with. The British troops had firught both the Peisliwa, with the Hai.th of Berar (one of the most extensive pro sluices in the Carnatic), with [bilker, and atilt Sciudia—iu short, with every power except that which l'hey set out to meet. Convinced that his motion would meet with the concurrence of the House, he would nut take np their attention much longer. He should !nearly state, that the Go vernor-General wits now in the field with an army or 100,000 men, at the distance of 1,000 miles from the capital of Bengal, in the midst of the Mahratbi empire. He had, doubtless, by this time, fallen posaeseion of the dominions of Hot kite and Son. did, and it was to be supposed that the whole Mah nabs force was arrayed in arms against him. Under these circumstances, it was not unreasonable to ask for general information with respect to transactions that were likely to lead to events of the highest importance. He should therefore move— Ist.—" That there be laid before this Haase copies or ex. tract* of adveces received from the several Governments of India, relative to the origin and propels of the disemaions, which ended in hostilities with the Peishwe Sd.—" That there be laid before this House copies or ex. testis of advlees received from the several Governments of coo cern jog the origin moll proven of the ch.cessious, which terminated in hiestilities with the Itej.eh of Beer" 3.l.—'s That there he laid before this Howie copies or ex- Iract■ of :Writes received from the several Governments of respectiug the aggression, of the Piiiderete, and the measures adopted iu comeiiiiteire thereof .

Ile said he would give the information, us far as isonable—be canew, with respect to the Raja!) of Berar. no in formation of the description alluded to had been received. He hoped, therefore, the lion. Geotle mon would have liU üb j rcuui to withdraw ISIS Se cond non, mid he could *more him, whenever the document* alluded to :•triretl. they 1.611141 be said before Parliament. As to the circumstances which hal to hostditiea with the Peisliwa, they would lie found, on examination, such as could not be liaised over in silence. On that point, no blame could attach to the Indian Gores nutria. Nothing like precipitation appriceil to their conduct. Per haps they had placed too great a degree of confidence in the Peisliwa, trusting to that good faith, which he was bound by treaty to preset ye.— With respect to the Mutterers, it was very bur, they could not lie considered us a substantive force. But when, fur two successive year*, that Power was sufficiently strung to make nit urinous into the Com pany's territories, and carry tire awl 'mold through the t try, it would be *titillated that there was very good reason fur endeavouring to extirpate pest, formidable to the British Power, and fatal to the repose oh India. As to the Tie.atier entered into with the Native Powers. and nut yet laid before the House, hr had not the slightest objection to their production. And he would now state, that, when they were presented, the Treaty with tlw would explain the peaceable relations of the Bri tish towards that power, at the ttttt e that hostilities were unexpectedly commented against us.

PROVISION FOR THE DI'KE OF KENT. On the tnotion of Lord CAsTLIKKAGH. the !louse resolved itself into a Committee of the whole Douse, 011 the Prince Regent's alessage, recom mending it provision for the Duke of Kent, on his marriage.. . . TI. e - Alessage having been read, Lord CASTLEIMAGH rose and said, it was not ne cessary fur I to trouble the Cominittee at any length on this occasion, as all the topics couuected with the subject had been so recently and so gene rally discussed to Parliament. The feelings of the House on measure's of this kind had beets so fully discussed, that he should confine himself to a very few observations. The question now under consi deration hail, to a certain degree, been brought be fore the House, ens a late discri.sion. For, though it Was nut, on that occasion, iii his power to state that the marriage of the Duke of Kent hail receiv ed the Royal sanction, still the treaty hail gone on so far, that lie felt himself justified in not.cing it, as an event very likely to take place. From what he collected doting that discussion, it appeared to I hat the Honor were disposed to consider, that when one of the . brunches of the Royal Family formed a matrim onial alliance, with the consent of the Crown, and Parliament thought it proper to allow an additional income to enable hint to sup port his dignity, they would taut, in itiak , tig that addition, advert to any emolument which the tibia unlit* individual might detive either front a mili tary situate' enjoyed at Mime, or from the per formance of important duties, tor a while intrusted to hint abroad. On these principles, lie [relieved, the House had acted in grouting 6,ttoot a-year to the Duke of Cambridge, tozetlier with a dower, in • • case of his decease, to his wiaotv. He, oil this occa sion, would propose precisely the same grant that was voted to the Duke of Cambridge, and the same sum for a dower to his widow, in the event of his de cease. He did not mean to call for any outfit—tie cause he understood from the Duke of Kent, that he did not wish for any provision of that sort. Hay lug stated this, he would now snake one or two obser vations ou the marriage itself. He believed there was but one feeling on this subject—siamely, that the alliance was most suitable and desirable in every point of view. It should be observed, that it was a cousiection riot new to the country.—/Hear, kar.) —They already had had experience of this family— and that experience strongly recommended the alliance. He should now state to the House a cir cumstance which was highly creditable to this il lustrious individual. When this marriage was in pro gress, though she did not give up the guardianship of her children, yet her retaining that authority did nut extend to the pecuniary advantages which she de rived from her guardianship. She, in fact, gave op between 4,9001. and 3,000/. per annum—rod, he Will sure, In granting to her a dower tot 6,000/. the House would feel they were doing nothing more than reinibursing her for the advantages with which she had parted. As to the grant of 6,000!. to the Duke of Kent, after lie had provided plus-money tout of it, there wools, only be use actual increase of iiiconie to the amount of 3,000/. a year. This maid not be considered extravagaid, when the eticriusliniesces under which he laboured were considered. To clear those encumbrances, he had, in a most honourable us toner, &signori atseuil a cor oo ide o r i a . ble portions of his income— m m of 14,000/. per amount was set apart for that 'purpose. Ile could nut, under these circum stance., be expected, usi Isis own 111(41111r, to sup - putt a f u ssily with becoming dignity; until he liberated hnmsrlf c pletely f r these elicitors brances, lie could slot do it. There was another to be llakrll Into coossoleration. conse9iseisee of his having been employed very much abroad, she Doke of tient did nut conic at the esijoymetit of a parliamentary provision so booll as hie 11111sliltala Mothers had done. At the age of 32, lie received that provision. which other branches of his f. ly had beets in possession of at an earlier period, Prior tis that time he had only an ullowance of 5,000!. a year from his Royal Father, and the etnoluineists of Ilia commission as a Major- General. It was nut surprising. theit fore, that lie should at that time have funned encumbrances, which he might now deem it necessary to clear away. lie could nut, under °tsar circumstances, lies on that scale which. when those were rentoteol, lie would have an roman t•inity of doing. The Noble Lord concluded by moving— " limit it i. the opiniou of Ilia Committee, thAt his Ala. je.ty be enabled to grant a p.m! ) , sum Or num. y nut of the Conooltiluted Fond or Grist !triton, and Ireland, not t'irerilint in Its. whole 6.600/. to make a syllable proVibiJii for the Duke of Kent, uo Isis tuarrialte." Mr. CtittWEN said, however painful to leis feel ings it might be, he felt it necessary to oppose this onetime. lie rested his oppositiou on two poiiits. In the first place, he did not know that he had ever acceded to any pledge, by which lie VMS hound, in all cases, to make a provision for every branch of the Royal Family, MIICII a iiiiii rnige was ablaut to take place.—(near, the present in stance he could nut see any neces►ity fur making inch a provi►ion as that now called for, in addition to the income elijoyeel by the Illustrioaa Duke. Ile dellered also from the Noble Lord on another point:• Ile had observed, that they were oot to take into consideration any emolument enjoyed, from military or other situations, by the Royal Family, when a prevision of this description was demanded. Ile never had conceded soy such principle—and, if it had not been for the late hour at which the question was brought tor ward on a former occasion, when a giant was made to the Duke of Cmeibrulge, lie would have ()lammed it. When lie saw the Illus trious I)uke receiving an iiicinne of ::5.000/. per annum, lie could nut agree to an additional vote. tie coosidered the ►ituation in which the country was ',laced, and lie could not consent that 6,0004 per annum should be added tonne existing buidens. He wished to ask, was there tin sow ce Iron) which this sum could be deribud without coming to Par li-unent ?—( hear.,/—Fled hot the Illustrious Duke parents'—(/ leo% j—Wrs not her Majesty in posses mon 1 , ver y co...Me t /dole sum. derived from the privy ;mese ?--(hicur.)—Theat House had not in quired into the state of the privy purse, and, in siegleciiiig to do in, they had neglected their duty. Out of the privy poise her Majesty might have made good the sums necessary to remove the pecu 'leery entharrassiterists of the Illustrious Duke, slid thus have ►endered an application to Parliament un necessary. He was glad that Parliament bad sit length awaked to its dolt ; lie was glad they bad told the lio)al Family. that, if they chose to coil. tract debt•, and did not discharge them out of their regular income, Parliament, when applied to, for that purpose, could not conscientiously assist them. In actimc air he did, he was not iiilluenced by a de sire to do what aloe agreeable, but what was just. He opposed the motion with reluctance. because he had a high respect for the character of the Illus trious Duke—but his duty to his coustitiresits and to the country, imperatively called on him to refuse the grant now called for. Sr► It. HERON snit!, he was extremely sorry to op pose the gram now proposed fur this Illustrious Personage, who was known only by his constitutional principle, and by the benevolence of his h em I. But lie felt that the relief demanded, ought to lie derived from other sources, mid should not be mode or added to the burdens of the country, opprepred as it already Was by taxatiou. Mr. BROUGHAM 1.41141, if this question were to be dreulrd on lite ground of private character, no doubt could be rittertaiiirtl but dint it would be triumphantly can't-41-I'o,, lie believed, 110 mtliv i. dual hid ever exercised the ►nfluence of his exalted station and high balk mare bentticially than Ale Duke ol Ktut had dime. lie hail exerted his utmost influence in support of every moitittion which was likely in benefit the ciimitiy. lie *us a friend to the education of the 110.1 r—lie was the munificent patron of va-inus acted on 71 principle of u niversal henevolenic. But, it speruttil that, in Isking this proposition 11110 consideration, all Ihese•siews ought In be laid aside. But, MI the same ground that he had supported the grant to the Duke of Clarence, he would vote in fat our of ~~ • a - • • the presetit. This wll3 a marriaje treafs, entered into for the purpose of supplying a succession to the Crown in the Howie of Hanover—it had received the regular sanction of the Throne—and, standing on its own merits, WEIS admitted to deserve the sanction of that House also. They were told that the state of the finances of this illustrious person was.such. us to render further Parliamentary assistance neces sary, in order to contract this desirable, permitted, and *auctioned marriage. It was *lotto- reference to these constitutional grounds that hi% sate should be given. He knew nothing of the iierSonal quali ties of the individuals, be they meritorious or other wise. They were Princes of an illustrions family, to whom the Executive branch of our colistitution was entrusted. It war beneficial that that power should be vested in the House or lirtnisoiek, and that, therefore. a provision should be made for a regular succession. He would deal with each of three propositions on this single ground—star the match necessary, or highly desirable for attaining this object ? Was it approved of in the way the law piescribed ? Had it received, ur did it merit, the fat titer approval of that House? And it . (these previous question* being answered in the affirma tive, as in the cases of the Dukes of Clarence and Canibridge) an affirmative answer was also given to this last question, was this pecuniary assist:nice ne. cesaary far carr) tog the marriage tutu effect I—t o which an affirmative answer was given in the c tee of the Duke of Clarence, awl, therefore, he sup ported us , and a negative iu that of the Duke of C:authridge, fur which reason lie opposed it—if the affirmative a n swer were here given to this additional question, as it had been, lie should vote for the grant to the. Duke of Kent. 'flits was the con staistimml way of viewing the question. They ought not to look to private character—but merely to consider the individual as a Prater, usider three peculiar circumstance,'. Let the House consider how fa (lir circumstances of the Duke of Kent re quired this asristat.ce. The Noble Lord had not at all overstated the etictittilireial , s to which the Duke of Kent was subjected—Encumbrances en tirely owing to the length of time durilig which hat was devolved of his parliamentary provision. N :it-ad of receiving 1:1,0001. a year at the age of twenty-foor, as was the c a se with most of los Royal Brothers, he only received, foe several years, 5,001)1. j.er annum from his Caller. He had also been einployed on active service—AtJ was, he believed, exposed to the accidents of war. lie had served its the West ludtes , Gibraltar, Nova Scotia, and Canada, for 12 or 14 years— and, if he were informed correctly, his emoluments were out adequate to meet his ores ssary expenditure. If any officer of ordinary rank n, the army hail suf. fered situ lur I.a.ses to those sustained by /es Royal Highness on service, no doubt they would be It I to form an 'tent from year to year in the army ex traorilitiartes, until the whole of the estimated loss had been repaid. In adtlittnit ta these coasidera- Woo, it was a matter of stotoriety that his Itayal Highness had appropriated and set apart not le-s than flora 17,0001. to 19.0001. per annum to j• ay off his debt. ; so that out of his entire laconic, tak. itig it as .25,0001. per a nnum , be had not more than Ii or 7,0001. e-) ear ty Ijve on, which, if added to the grant now Imposed,. would *camel, be ade quate to th e most ecosiMille ► estuhlishineurlie could poteably the event of his marriage. In giving his vote tlits night for this addition to the iiicome of his Royal Ilighliess, Ire was actuated by the must conticieutious motives, and lialueneed by neither favour nor affection. It was merely the re sult of his just claims on the country, and he thought it would be us futile to attempt by this vote to-night to express ally thing like gratitude competent to the extent of his services and praise worthy Life, as it would be mean in the extreme to sacrifice the interests of an illustrious and merito rious individual to a fleeting popularity, or the fear of any clamour out of doom—Wear, hear, hear.) Mr. METiIuEN onus!, in the distressed state in which he saw the country labouring, object In the proposed grant to hits Royal Highness, notwith statiding lie entertained for him the highest respect; hut he did not wish to pay a bad compliinent to his Royal Highness at the expense ante character of his Royal Mothers, and lie must, therefore, observe, that the character of the Duke of Cambridge was one equally unblemished and equally respectable, as far as the exact performance of relative and social duties. Lord A ISIIORP admitted it was extremely de sirable to continue the succession iu the line of Biutiswick, but could not see why this might not be done without increasing the burdens of the people by such excessive, and, in his mind, unnecessary allowances as those now and lately pro posed. The marriages of all the younger branches of the Royal Family wrie objects of uo importance to the country.—(/ fear, hear./—lf they chose not to marry, they were perfectly d t liberty to consult their noel nations ; if they, however, preferred al haute* of marsiage, it was not fair that every one of them should consider it in turn a good pretext to call on the country to extend its niuniticence to each respectively, more particularly when they all must be an are of the very distressed state of the country at the present moineeit.—(Hear, hear) — Hr thought most highly of the private and public character of the illustrious individual, whose in creased allowance formed the subject of the pre sent vote, but lie nevertheless should vote against the proposition of the Noble Loid, on the grounds he had enumerated. Mr. IiROUGHAM, in explanation, observed, that although it had been stated, when the grant of 10,0001. per annum to the Duke of Clarence, in consideration of his propo.ed marriage, had been excepted against, that his Royal Highness would, as a matter of necessity, decline the marriage, unless the sum required were granted. The re duced grant of six thoisissid pounds per annuin was then voted, which was declined by his Ronal Higher.., notwithstanding the threat, as it might he called, of the certainty that Ina Royal Highness would decline the match, it had been since ewer tained that lie had found it perfectly convenient to renew this treaty of marriage in the same quarter, without any increase of allowance at all. Lord CASII.EIMAGH said, he certainly under stood this treaty of marriage was now completing, and would must probably take place. But he must suggest, that un the occasion alluded to, Mum ter* had expressed themselves dittereutly from the manlier in which they had been represented to have seadseti. lie for one, and he believed all who 1 ' c." \ \1 4 \ r spoke on the same bench with him that night. merely hail stated, that in the event of the grout being refused, he and they could not, con►ist ectly with the views, they had been afforded of his circumstances, advise him to contract the marriage. as his rneasis would be incompetent to his increased expense', should he continue to reside in this coun try. Although that Illustrious Personage might feel himself so howls' in honour to complete his en. gagenneuts wads slus Priuceso .alluded to, it was no part of the duty of Ministers to take upon theist to advise his Royal flightless upon the propriety of the match. But he conisl not tel expres►ing his opi nion, that it would ill agree with the ftelings of t! !louse or the country th.tt hits Itieval High:l(st should he reimbursed, or a comp e t en t all owance b e made to him fur this pus pose Irons any other sources but the homily and liberality of the cussedly t hrough the medium of its Represesitutives in that House.— (Hear, he ar./ Mr. PRUTHEROE felt the duty which lie owed to his country to be parianow,t, :not should there fore vote egaiost the Increase of allowance its the present distressed state of the cotalitry. Mr. J.
