INEZ I PAP:ERS. Tx;: Papers presented to the House, of Constrisms by the East India Company, respecting the late NABOB of the CARNATIC, have been printed. They • are in number eighteen, and consist of Conies of Instructions to Lieutenants-Colonel MAcs. NEIL and BOWSER, relative to the stationing a party of troops at the Palace of Chepauk.— The Governor in Council desires every degree of .conciliation and respect to be observed towards the immediate family of the Nabob, and the Con fiJential Officers of His Highness's Government, and to avoid the appearance of any Concurrence on the part of the British Government, in the ar ranaements which His Highness may be desirous of making, with respea either to his immediate pro perty, or the general affairs of the Carnatic. There 'then follows the Report of Messrs. Wtse as and ` - Ctscsr, explanatory of their proceedings at the Place o f t h e l ate Nabob, in their interviews with Toe , Re-gents and TAJE UL OMRAH. It states that 'the Nabob, by his will, expressed in clear and dis 'tine terms, that his son, ALLY HUSSEIN, should s teitcceedhiM in all his rights, possessions, property, ;and the sovereignty of the Carnatic---Th e R e. rs,''.;•t.'stares the subject of the conferences, in whi c h the 6 ,,. nstish Agents urgd that proofs were in possession 4 the British Government, of the late Nabob's vio.islt.!bn of the alliances with the Com pany, and that It had deterinined to demand sae tislaaion for such Violation, and security fOr its rights and interests agilliSt the future operation of His Highness's hostile CassUticils., but that the indis position, which had terminated in the death of the Nabob OMDUT UL OMRAH, had prevented the execution of the Governor-Gweral's orders to that effeCt. Then follows a Copy of Lotal CON WALLIS's Treaty between the Comp:one and his Highness the Nabob MAHOMED ALiy dated 1 79 2 , and the Treaty with AZEEM UL DOZY/ ft, in 1801. To these arc added; the declaration of the Governor of Fort St. George, dated 3/st July',s 1801 s stating that the Nabob OMDUT UL OM. RAH maintained a secret intercourse with TIP ; - Po o SULTAUN, the determined enemy of the Bri t, name, founded on principles, and directed to () J.l'stts, utterly subversive of the alliance between t he NA BOB o f t h e C ARNATIC and the Company. T he Declaration proceeds to develope all the cir cumstances and proofs of such intercourse, and shews that the intentions of the Nabob MAHOM -4'IED ALLY and OMDUT UL OMRAH, were uni formly hostile to the British Power in India, and that consequently they had placed themselves in the relation of Public Enemies to the British Go- Vermnent, that the British Government, adhering to principles of moderation and forbearance, had nevertheless endeavoured, by an amicable ad.. 3ustment with ALLY HussErN, the reputed son of the Nabob, to obtain that satisfaCtion and se eurity which - the hostile and faithless conduct of tis father had entitled the British Government 10 demand ; but that by the advice of the persons appointed by his father's will, to assist his Councils, Le had persisted in opposing a determined resist. ance to this demand, and therefore that necessity and self.defence required that the son of OMDUT uL PMRAII Should not be permitted to retain possession of resources dangerous to the tranquillity of the British Government. The .Appendix to this De claration contains copies of the . Correspondence w ith Tustsoo SULTAUN, and the key to a cypher found among the records at Seringapatam. The Co rreseondence contains a series of the most c ome Vete proofs of the secret and hostile negotiations of °moor UL OMRAH With TIPPOO. The next important Paper is a copy of the Cor respondence between the Governor General and the Governor of Fort Sr. George, on the subject of the Carnatic, from the death of OMDUT UL OMR AH ;(:) the elevation, of AZ.EEM UL 'DOWLAH tO the lUSUU(I. In this is stated the faiture of every endeavour at conciliatory negotiation with the re ruted S on o f OMDUT UL OMRAH. To this succeeds eet"e Lett ers f rom the Governor General and the, Secret in Council of Fort St. George to t h e ec retconimit tee of tl%e Court of Direaors, relative :O. the rev o l ut i on i n the Carnatic, and the asso mp _ lon of its government by the Company ; the orders published to the settlement of Fort St. George, dated 3 ist July, rBo t, relative to the Treaty be tween the Company and ASE es,t of. 1)0w LAH, with. Tseveral other documents conneared with the subjea. here are also copies of Examinations taken be forec, Messrs, WEBB E an d C LOSE, at Vellore and °etingapatam, in May, I Soo, by order of the Mar c:l_ollls WE LLESLEY.

St cc SIT, I. "Ile precarious state of his Highness the bii!oh ealth b e i ng such - as to indicate th rb,' e o lty of hbi 1-lizhness's eittly diitio;ution, the Right Hon: the eoveindi in Council has jmiged it expedient for the preservation of order, to station a party of troops at the Palace of Chepauk ; and his Lordship, relying on your prudence and dis_ cretion, has been pleased td appoint you to the command of the troops. • " z. The detail will consist ,of three toinpanies of his Majesty's Scotch Brigade, five companies of the zst battalion 4th regiment of Native In fantry, a Subaltern, and _thirty Europeans; and one company of Native Artillery with four six. pounders, and thirty troopers from ihe Governor's body guard. A farther portion of the garrison of Fort St. George will be held in readiness_ to join you, if occasion should render that measure neceL. sary. " 3. The principal objea of your care being the preservation of order within the Palace of Chepauk, at the period of the Nabob's dissolution, the Go. vernor in Council direas you, after securing ,the first gate of the garden, to march the detachment to the principal gateway of the Palace,. and take pos sesion of it. " .j.. A communication of this intended measure will be made to the Nabob sufficiently early, it is hoped, to prevent any alarm in his Highness's mind ; and the expedition and secrecy with which it will be executed, will probably prevent any opposition gr confusion. " 5. Having taken possession of the principal gateway, it will be necessary to make a disposition of your force for maintaining that position. " 6. In carrying this part of your orders into effel, the Governor in Council desires you to use every degree of conciliation and respell towards the immediate family of the Nabob, and towards the confidential Officers of his Highness's Govern ment. By an adherence to that mode of conduct, the Governor in Council expels that no difficulty will occur; but if, notwithstanding this mode ration, you should be opposed in the execution of these orders, with respell to possessing the gateway, you will, after making the best explanation of your Orders which circumstances will admit, to the Na_ hob's Officers within the gateway, remain thirty minutis• and after the expirati on o f t h at t i me, y ou . have received n'o communication from Ma_ jor Grant, the Military Secretary of the Governor, you will ol}tditt possession of the gateway by force. . ' " 7. After hz.ving- established yOursOf at the gateway of the Palace, your will consider the best means of restraining the irttercoutie of person s ',via the interior of the Palace ; but as it is impossibk to describe, with sufficient accuracy, the different passages through the external wall Of the Palace, I am direded to inform you, that when the event of the Nabob's death shall occur, it will be your duty, to the .extent of your power, to prevent the introdudion of any. partizans into the Palace, to restrain any apparent Commotion, to proted from violence the persons or the Nabob's imme diate family, and to provide the best pradicable means for preventing his Highness's property and treasure from being removed from the Palace. In executing this part of the order, you will Observe that the Governor in Council does not consider the Brothers of his Highness to constitute any part of his immediate family; and you will endeavour to restrain them, by force, if necessary and practicable, from entering the Palace until some arrangement o affairs shall be made. " 6. As soon as may be praL'licable, after taking possession of the gateway, you will endeavour to ascertain what number of armed or unarmed men may be within the walls of the Palace, and you will cause that number to be so far diminished, as you shall judge necessary to the tranquil execution of these orders ; you will particularly endeavour to expel from within the walls of the Palace, all such armed men as may not be in the immediate service of his Highness the 'Nabob : upon this point, you will make an early report, and it is the intention of the Governor in Council to furnish you, at the earliest possible period of time. after the death of the Nabob, with more detailed instrulions for the guidance of your conduct. " 9. It will be obvious to you, that the Governor in Council consider the trust now reposed in'you, to involve considerations of, the greatest delicacy and importance ; and his Lordship directs me to ex press his confident expedation, that your condutl in the discharge of it will be such as the nature of the conjundure, and the situation of his Highness's fa,ni. ly, demand from the liberality and dignity of the British Government. " to. During this service, you will address im mediately to the Governor such communications as may become necessary, and obey such orders as you may receive . diredly from his Lc,:dship.

" I request you will be pleased to inform the Right Hon. the Governor, that, agreeably to his Lordship's Instrdlions, I marched the troops placed under my command for the preservation of order at Chepauk, through bath the gateways leading to the Palace ; of these gates I took possession, and I have placed guards at three other gates lead. ingthrough the exterior wall. " The — communication which the Right Hon. Governor was pleased to make of his Lordship's intentions, seemed to have considerably reconciled the Nabob to the measure itself; but he was very much averse to guards being placed within the in terior .gate. t, " As there seemed to be no immediate necessity for stationing guards within, and as the Nabob was so much averse to any being placed there, I judged it fit to accommodate his Highness's inclinations as far as possible : I• have therefore placed sentries only at the gate, and the body of the troops close to it on the ontsidg.

SIR, "In rePly, to four letter of last night, I am di reaed to acquaint you, that until his Highness the Nabob shall expire, the Right Hon. the Governor in Council does no: consider it expedient to impose any restraint on the egress of 'covered Palankeens from the Palace of Chepauk ; hut after that event shall have happened, you will ptevent the issue of covered Palankeens from the Palace, until you shall have received further orders from the Governor in Council. " In issuing these instru6lions, the Governor in Council confines the operation of them to the period of time during which order shall prevail in the inte rior of the Palace; but if any commotion should arise previously to the death of the i\Plthob, you will take efredual measures for restraining the issue of treasure, by any mode of conveyance whatever, until you shall receive the farther direnions of the Governor in Council. " If, previously to the death of the Nabob, you shall have reason to suspect an attempt to carry treastite from the Palace, without his Highness's consent, you will also, in that event, restrain the 'ssue of it, until the Nabob's consent shall be ob. ained for the passage from the Palace.

CLOSE) " GENTLEMEN, " In consequence of the death of. his Highness the Nabob Omdut ul Oinrah, it is my earnest de sire, founded on the Instruetions of his Excellency the Governor General, that a complete adjustment of the affairs of the Carnatic should be made with the le2st pralieable delay. " The nature of the evidence which has been obtained, of the violation of the.Aliiance by the Nabobs Mahomed Ali and Omdut ul Omrah, and the course of reasoning upon the condition in which the family of their Highnesses has, by that discovery, been placed, in relation to the British Government, are subjeas so familiar to you, that any particular instructions from me with regard to the principles, or to the detailed considerations of the question, appear to be superfluous. It will be sufficient for me therefore to state, that the death of the Nabob has produced no change in the prin ciples by which it will be proper to regulate the condutt of the British Government towards the family of his Highness : But in the application of those principles, to the adual state of affairs, I judge it to be of the greatest importance to the national charaler, as well as to the critical state of our affairs, that the arrangement of the affairs of the Carnatic should be adjusted 'by an amicable Negotiation. " I accordingly depute you to condua this Ne_ gotiation, and hereby authorize and empower you to exercise, your own discretion fOr the purpose of carrying into effeti my intentions, and the instruc tions of his Excellency the Governor General. " The Officer commanding the Forces at Che pauk, will obey such orders as he may receive flow you. I am, &c. (Signed) Fort St. George, istb ISoi." (To be continued.) " Cum Four Troops of the Fir•t Dragoons on Friday and Saturday, marched from Canterbury and Deal, for Richmond, Fulham, and the adjacent villages, previous to their being reviewed by the Commander in Chief. Two Troops of the 4th Dragoons were this day to replace the ist at Canterbory. The 16th Dragoons on Wednesday arrived at Liverpool, to embark fur Dublin. The three persons committed to the gaol at Dover, for the assault upon the Waiter of the Shakspeare Hotel, at Margate, were expected to be liberated this day, the Waiter being out of dapger, and not having received so much injury as was at cyst supposed.

" It is under s t o Od that the p r i nt i pa l part of the Nabob' s treasure is deposited in the apartments of his Highness's Sister, the. .13oody Becgum and I am direCted - to communicate this intelligence to you, in order that your attention may be particularly dirthed to those apartments, in carrying into exe- Ctition his Lordship's orders for preventing the re nioval of the treasuic from Chepauk.

This morning the several I .4 'raternities of Trade, marshalled as belore, paraded the principal streets, with their respective Colours flying and Music play_ ing. The whole was conduCted, as on the priced_ ing days ; with the greatest regularity, About ten o'clock a grand main, for two hundred guineas, of Cocking, commenced in Lord Dtits y's COCk-pit, between his Lordship and Mr. CRoss, of Chorley. It being the time of year when the Cocks lose their •feathers, they.did not fight with such spirit as .was expected. His Lordship's killed five out of six. The game will proceed during the three following mornings ; 24 is the main.— His Lordship and Mr. CR oss fought two bye_ battles for ten guineas ; each got one, so that it was a drawn battle. The Cocking finished soon after twelve o'clock, when the company proceeded in a grand cavalcade to Fulwood - Moor, where is the Race Course. Such an amaz i ng concourse of people was never seen in this country before; carriages of all descriptions, loaded in the extreme ; an innu merable company of horsemen ; and tfie incalculable number of pedestrians, high and low, exceeds all. description.

Hail, the Jubilee Levee, fur the purpose of the company attending the Guild to pay their re.. speets to the Mayor and Lady Mayoress. Soon after seven o'clock the company began to assemble, and by ten o'clock upwards of rOOO persons were assembled, dressed in the first elegance of fashion. The staircases and passages leading to the Halls were filled with company who could not gain ad- Mittance. - I - 2 2.

In anti.rooms there were provided cooling drinks °fall descriptions, a profusion of confee , nary and pine apples, and the choicest fruits. About ten o'clock, two excellent Bands of Music entered the Gallery of each Hall. The Lady Mayoress and a Gentleman attempted to lead offa Country aance in the Town-Hall, but it was found impraCticable. jn the Guild-Hall Lord STANLEY and Miss LROCKS... DALE led • off a dance; they were followed by the Mayor and Miss HORTON. A few parties follow >ed, -but no regularity could be kept, on account of the crowd being so great, till past eleven o'clock, when numbers hay ng been obliged to leave the Halls, from excessive heat, the dancing went on with great spirit, and continued till a late hour. • Last night there was dancin in almost every Inn and Pot-house in the town. niece being a large supply of musicians from different parts to attend the'Companies in their procession, the inhabitants are determined not to lose the opportunity of em ploying them ; they have been sufficiently busy since the commencement of the Jubilee. In the mornings the Bands strike np to attend thr Comp a _ nies, so that we have music from. morning till night.
