He acconi panied the pewnration with a few words, in which he again .tared his intention, after the Bill should he pi hued, to move a short day for its second read ing. The Biil was forthwith read a first time, and or dered to be printed. Lord HOLLAND moved, " that the proper Of ficers be dire, ed to lay before the House, an account of the number, &c. of persons confined for debt in the Fleet prisons; and also, in His Majesty's gaol of Nesvgate;" which was ordered accordingly.

Mr. FR \NC:3 rose to make the metion of which he ;lad givfn notice, and said, that, previous to his doing so, he would beg leave to ask the Hon. Member (Mr. flohlumw) who had brought in the Bill on the subjeCt of the private creditors of the Nabob of the C steatie, one questi;in. It WAS said in the Bill—. Whereas it appears that cert.iin Com missioners have been appointed"—l le begged to know who those Cronmissioners are, by what au thoi ity appointed, and how and by whom they are to he paid? Hie understood the lion. Gentleman vets himself one of them ; and that he L t•tatel on a forme, night (Monda ) ), when he was prevented at:t:11.1111g, that it e:ls with wear re:ol4ller, and in consequence of romli inerortuMty, that he had been induced to bring in the Bill. For h.s own part, he mast own, he thought the lion. Gentle• man, situated as lie had been, as a Member of the India Board, was not the fittest person in the world to ad as a Commissioner for the liquidation of those debts. He beg zed, however, an answer. Mr. HOCH OUSE - said, he was desirous the Honourali.e Gentleman should have every informa tion in his power to give. The Honourable Gen tleman was absent the other night when he made so full a statement to the House, or he would have known. He had then stated the names which were in the original commission, and the change made IR consequence of one Honourable Gentleman, a Member of that House (Mr.R. Ryder), having with drawn himself from the same. The Gentleman added was Mr Homer—the other, Mr. Cockburne, who had been long a servant of the East India Corn panv in the revenue department ; so that the names, as they now stood, were Mr. Hobliouse, Mr. Cock burne, and Mr. Horner. With respeCt to the au thority by which they had been appointed, it was by the Dire fors of the East India Company, in concurrence with the creditors, and in consequence of an agreement to that effea. He said, that with re speet to the notion, he could assure the Honourable Gentleman he should not give it the slightest oppo sition, as he really wished to give every informa tion on the subjeft that the Honourable Gentleman could desire. An Honourable Friend had just re minded him that he had omitted to answer one past of the question, viz.--how the Commissioners were to be paid?—to this he stated, that there was at:At:se in the deed, by which it was stipulated, that they were to be remunerated upon the principle r,f Par liamentary Commissioners. as soon as they had finished their labours. Mr. FRANCIS thanked the Hon. Gentleman for the candour and clearness with which I.e had answered his questions. He thereby found he had been mistaken, for he had unders:ood that Mr. Fordyce was at the head of that Commission ; but he now found, that he was at th.o. Lead of the Com mission on the patt of the Creditors. He could not, however. but think, that this transaaion had found its way into the llouse moat quicker, and with more precipitancy than it ought to have done. With respell to the Committee en the subjelli• he did not know that any suc h t hi ng existed, till he saw the Report. Ile owned, this had loam his own fault, but so it happened ; and the Report, he asserted, was net deliv-rable to the trernhes of that House before Monday ; and then he verily be lieved, net five members out of the whole number had read it. He bored, and he misted, however, that this business would proceed, and be attended with more deiiberation in future. It was a matter of the highest importance. and worthy the deepest consideration. It was a well•Li,own fat'. that all the Presidencies of the Company abroad, are, at this moment, in the greatest distress (especially that of Madras), and are every day running in debt as much as they can, by borrowing money at a very high rate of interest. Lest he should be misunder stood, or misrepresented, he begged to remind the House, that this transaCtion bore no analogy to, nor had any conneaion with, any other India busi ness. It was merely a money question ; and it it cannot be paid in India, it must come out of the pockets of the public, and be paid here. He la mented, that he did not see more of His Majesty's Ministers then present in their places, and that those who were there, paid him no attention. For his part, he was not a man that would give way to oppression or desertion, but would remain at his post, and manfully pea form and discharge the duties imposed on him. He wished the House to call to mind, that the debts of those unfortunate Princes, the Nabobs of the Carnatic (who were now almost all dead), amounted to no less a suns than five or six Millions, and must be paid. It was right and proper, that such as were really and Los,, fat due, should be p aid ; but there were many that were un just, and founded in fraud, and it was highly neces sary to distinguish cautiously between them. On this subjea, he thought he could not ni , h ti House with higher authority than that of Mr. Bo: ke, and would, therefore, beg leave to read, as vitt of his speech. a paragraph from one of his speeches ; which he did, to the following purport ; `s he says (speaking of the old Nabob of Aunt), an opinion prevailed from passages in his (the NahoS's) krter, that large sums had been distributed to the Com pany's servants, and debts acknowledged, many of which, there were the strongest reasons to sospea, were tiaitious ; and it WAS astonishing an inquiry had not been then made into the Company's affairs. whe n ;t was known they were is so :flocs dlStrest." That was in l7Sa; at.d, if they acre in great di•tress then, they were more d-ploralaty aces ur,w ; the debt was, at that time, ten or twelve millions, and the private Credi tors now c l a i med three millions m.oe. That debt had, however, been impeovi. cd:ntly paid 6 7 the Board of Commit% contr./re to the express °mints of the Como of Direacrs. and to the re,:resentatiens on the stsbjea of Lord Maeartee), the then Governor of Made's. This matter, he said. wool' -none on to he debated, on the next stage of tl e Bill, th's slay se'nnight ; and he wout,t stroa,:ly T' cambia it tie s ash Gentlerne 4 a as intended to teas: .n that de rate, to read this •peech of Mr. Blase, wilim was replete with infuimation cn the sub) et. and was certainly ore of the most el.nrsent priids.sirois which had ever been dehrt , r:-.1 in that. or any other Assembly.

I am sorry to observe, that we have net had the liget of his countenance in this House far a long time. I hope he is not gone off into inenite space, :Ind th:t neither Vemvius nor Etna are gone out ; but that he will attend to this solicitation, and corne AAA support me in this arduous undertaking.

Mr. PAUL seconded the Motion ; and said for. Cher, that the Noble Lord opposite (Cettlerraeh) who had been President of the Board of Centreue must be sensible there were debts now due to the Neheb of Gude, and other PI inces in India, ararmit. ing to snore than three miilities ; and which. if &e•e debts were allowed, must he pa's./ on the same gr.unds. Mr. W. KEENE made some ObA.rrititrtl in support of the ;,vh.tion, hut in sn low a tone of ,:re we could rot distiaelly hear all he said. Ili • laded to an offer of 30,0001. made by the Nab e t Arcot to Lord Macartney when he was Governer of Madras, which t,is Loreslep refesed, but at the time time rssurod him of his Leds:sip': desire to da every thing in his power to serve him. He seemed to intimate, that mail of those debts a. '5 altegether ficlitious, but that many persons rotery merited relict. el hose whose •• sr eh.rs are en. wrung (he said) need not winch ;" it was the guilts , only who he.: any thing to fear. When the Ba, came Iwiete the House he had many observetioes to make. Mr. H. ArIitIINGTON said, he did not rise in give any opposition to the Motion, on die contrail. ne theught the Hon. Gentleman who made it, was entitled to every informatien on the subjeti ; and he rejoiced to fad, that the Hen. Member, so far form refraining to irterfere with the afteirs of India, as he had intimated on a fermer occa.sion, intended to persevere its his original and meritorious attention to them. Nan lion. Member in that House was more competent to the tick ; every man was sees-tee et his unwearied exertions, and extensive keowleJge in those affairs, and be unfeignedly rejoiced to we him resume that aelieity wlech had ever reßeeted the highest cre fit on his Parliamentary conduff, respecting that valuable part of our possessions. He theiget it, however, material to state to the House, that the objet of the Bill was not to intlnce the House to appoint a Commission; hut to enaeie the present Commissioners to administer an flees es to the claims to be made, and thereby seed:tan impossibility of establisierg any claim, that was not a dem 2 . 11,1 e one. The Company were a party te the agreement under which the Commissioners heed beer. appointed, and it was not ro he supposed teci would be prueigal of their prope:ty; but rates, that they would be anxious to save it. He was smooki to hear the Hon. Gentlemen say there was me cipitation in bringing forward the Bill. lii. hoe. Friend (Mr. Hobhouse) had repeatedly shamed, he vreuld give any time that any Honourable filecuber ;night wish for, as well as every infornution oa tie sulercl ; and if the Hon.
