p Vie career—his admirable. re-establishment of the revision of the Company at that period—aud his telarD to England in • state of comparative po. ratty (he was said to bare been worth, at the time, bet IS,OOO/.). when persons in inferior offices amassed great wealth, and when, if he had slot been he might haire Testified . w iseiweily fortune. AU his' conduct, •p to the period he obtained the Corernrotut of Bengal, had heels-most ahle and exemplary ; but from that moment all become sinned, and shortly after this the , ltoitillo war took idatze. This *sutras cowinseascad oaths inerigstient of Soojah Doyle, who wished .to have the Rubino cuuntrr, which was the garden of India, and ist. 4tibitca tty a people of peacearbk and reverted Ambits, for the purpose-of better feactoig his terri+ tory by this harrier against the Waitron's. These omit -people gave the Iktualt interests no offence • whatever, but Soujoh, at au-interview which he ob tamed with Mr. Hastings, at Bemires, obtained the amistaiire of the British military force to expel the Inhabitants of t h e .Itahillo country. These people, of course, sunk before the power of , European &stip. line, they were expelled from their (tomes, and then Sottish ()owls, who kept stunt from the battle until the &,m ini nhusined the victory, poured in his hordes upon the helpless fugitive/4 spots wham he exec. (lied *very species of extirpating cruelty, vs much so. that Colonel Chatiomost, who co tttttt angled the Medial I,,rrr, like a brave Wail, endeavoured to vase to obtain, mercy fur the vsoquished, atsd af terwards implored the interposition of the Conned at Bengal with Saujoh. whose anima was, that the usterfrtet.ce recuotorudrd might militate against the sweetly to.voirot of a sum of money which Squish was to lay when he wus l out its posses ion of the • Itssissllo country. The particulars of what varied at the ititcrview at Bewares, Mr. Hastings never suffered to transpire, and the paper. relating In it he uniformly withheld. Ge nteel elevating, Colossal MOll6Oll. and Mr. Francis OW late Sir Philip), who formed the Council with Mr. Hastings at Bengal, went oat 'to Indio, and came out of uffice with clean hands. They quitted the Council after vainly contending against Mr. Hosting*. They protested against this horrid war, sod in vein e• , learoured• to• obtssin• the papers and particulars of the interview at Beanies. The res. son. of Mr. Hastings for that war were curious brat, that possession (the Rubino territory) would augment die territory and wealth of Soujah Dowla, and have the tiltiistateettect of increasing the re. venues of the British Power. This was the maxim of the French financier at the time of the Revolia tion—tt II funs de l'argent, plus &urgent, beau romp plus d'argest." Tire second reiwois assigned by Mr. Hastings sw o t° free Soujoh from an incon. Ventent neighbour ; the third reason, to employ a pars of the British force at the expense of Soujsli, and thereby .cause a saving to the Company ; and the last, that Soujah was, at the conclusion of the undertaking, to pay the .British fully lacs of rupees. or 400,000/. Such were the only explana tions which Air. Hastings thought proper to give of h s conduct in this dreadful affair. For whatever service that individual, eminent as he was in some respects, performed, the Corporation of the East India Critti l iany had amply remunerated him. lie had received from them, since his return from In dia, ne.rilv tIOO.OOO/. Had he even left a you, he r old not object to some provision for him, if it were wanting, iu conriderstiula of the Important intuition his father had so long filled in the admi ',natation of their affairs ; but lie could never con vent to s statue, which went to commemorate the wbole of his public life. Next af. er the Itoinllo war came the execution of N.ucuwar. That person was the favourite Prime • Minister of the 'Vizier, and Meer Jaffirr, tiu his eleatMhed, recommended him to fill the tame office with his succemor. Nuncomar hail boldly ctorged Mr. Hastings with corruption, and offered to prove his charge befoul the Conon il. How dot Mr. Hastings meet the chorge ? Not by order s* an ittitnedtata inquiry, bat by teasing it alto ether. WI the ground that it wonM be beneath his a4.,ily to be confronted inauch a manlier. Shortly Nuncomar was indicted fora conspiracy, and so-quitted by a Jury. He was then again indicted inr a forgery raid to have been committed by him sri4,l years before, found guilty, and sentenced to, be hanged—a sentence which was executer!, not iilistsodiog the legal doubts of some of the Judges (.41. Robtrt Chamber* in particular), that the Act wirier %%Inch he was tried had application to "loch u C.l 4e in Indio: Noncoms,. was otie of the most steered • of his order—he was Leer unwed and looked up to by the moire', who were ti.toa)ght.ut Asia shocked at Iris cruel treat. meat. They went in crowds to the place up poiniteol lur his execution, as if disbelieving the prossiln;ity that such a scene would take place, and when to tireir astonishment they saw him suspended with tire rope, they shrieked and fled to, the Gauges to purge themselves of the pollution of such a ought. Ile did out charge Mr. Hastings with being guilty of offering this outrage to the feelings of the frecovle, but lie did for suffering the sentence to be vermeil into execution without so far consulting the writ:Wier*, eves, of the natives, as not to give time ' for the more ample consideration of the legal doubt by die other judicial authorities in India. Shortly alter lull information of these events must have beeu rind is, Engle:id. the resolution of the Court of May :Ire oth, 1776, for the removal of Mr. Has wigs and Mr. Harlow, was adopted.

They had Ives asked, what were the services of Mr. Hastings to entitle him to this mark of their respect ? and yet the interrogatory was put by a Gentleman who admitted, that to his genius alone the Company went indebted to the dispersion of that memorable confederacy which threatened to dissolve the English name in lodie. - That great act was done alone by Warren Hastings at a nine when the state of the war 111 Europe prevented the possibility of his receiving any assiatance from that quarter to enable bon to combat the great combination formed - against him in the heart of hie Indian government. The Learned Gentle man then described the rise of Mr. Hastings, from au inferior situation to supreme power iu India—and quoted the opinion of a Nlinis ter in the House of Commons, who said, whets he was proposed to fill the station of Cs'overisor- General, that he was the only European flesh and blood in India that was not corrupt, —(Year, hear.) —He had filled that important office not only to the most arduous period, but fur the longest that it lied ever here tilled by any other individual from the year 1771 to 171 1 14.
