Iludleston and Ilia fa intly owed particular obligations it was to Isis Honourable Friend (11r. Hume) who bad af forded him an opportunity of leiNlifillig hitivaiil to vindicote his character.

In which latter case, Captain Scutt, who wrote to the Bombay Go.. mimeo an account of the pretended scheme, was directed to make all sail for Bombay, and leave the whole of the Commissioners, and those connect ed with them, to the mercy of the enemy. The Learned Gentleman expressed his astonishment how Captain Scott could have written, on the 10th of March, the letter he nod done to the Bombay Government, in.which he spoke of the Commissino - era being alarmed fur their personal safety, whet,, oil the preceding day, lie was directed to be in •rath sires to fire a salute, on the signing of the Treoy, iiii event which was every moment expected. the Learned Gentleman then applied himself to en ex amination of General Maelrod's letter, in %% Inds the circumstance of' a signal from the shore (site wavisig of a white-handkerchief by a Gentleman ii.l horseback), on seeing which Captain Scutt was to come u near the laud as possible in ins posimur, was spoken of as having a reference to all lid , tided escape of the Commissioners. This sigoa!, lie *hewed, did not refer to any such iiitentom—but was merely meant for the purpose, if possible, of procuring a communication, in order to citioult on the objects of the embassy, with the ships in the road. The Learned Gentleman concluded a very able speech by moving the Resolution contained to the letter, requesting that the Court might be mode special.
