MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Bank of England weekly return, completed le the sth inst. is not quite so satisfactory in its character as the statements which have been pub lished for the last few weeks. In the bullion there is a falling off to a rather large amount, conse quent upon the shipments of gold tot he continent. The reserve of notes has been lessened about half a million, and the other securities have decreased to 16 7,3681. The chief feature in the return is the decrease in the private deposits, but this is in some pleasure accounted for by the augmentation in the public deposits; showing that a large amount of revenue has been paid in anticipation of any c hange of the spirit duties. The active circulation has been slightly increased, and the Government Securities also show an augmentation of about 375 03001. In the other items of the balance-sheet there is little requiring special comment, and they will be seen from the subjoined table Active circulation Increase Bullion Beet 3,195,874 396,2 7 6 zteet ' 3,195,874 Increase Public deposits Increase Other deposits 14,525,795 , Decrease "'even-day and other bills Decrease Government securities Increase Other securities Decrease Notes unemployed Decrease About 68,0001. in gold was taken from the Bank testerday, andit is calculated tath the decline which cks been cause d i n th e b u lli on th roug h these with tirPralB must exceed half a million sterling.

The following decree relative to the Sinking 41 1 d of the Anglo-Peruvian Debt has arrived from AAtaa, dated March 24, 1858 Considering that the increase of two per cent. per 41111 01, granted by the law of the 11th March of last Lehr to the sinking fund of the original Iknglo-Peravian Obt, is not sufficient to give to that debt the privilege le entitled to, on account of its origin, its old standing, Apd its right of precedence ; considering that when such Itno I. rse was gran t e d th e D e f erre d D e bt, an d the debts Iv Gre na d a an d E qua d or were om itt e d ; consider that the Republic, being pacified, it will be enabled 002.6118 h a system of strict economy in its expenses, Led h r e d - °" 1 sufficient available money to accelerate the o i -.l32 Ption of the external debt—to the extinction f ron . w hioll the national faith is pledged—whilst i nt "' this extinction social progress and great o° 4 l improvements depend ; considering that the nil germ of the bonds of the debts above referred to have ob fehled directly to the justice of the Government to de their a proportionate adjustment in the sinking f fu d u bonds • and - considering that the honour . o per br w atide that a' resolution on the repeated applications 1 - 0 1 / 4 1 1 eto this end should no longer be delayed, it is re kft.v."l:-Ist, That from the year 1859 one per cent. b"? shall be added 'to the sinking fund appointed d,.` 4 0 law of the 11th March of last year for the „Img off of the capital of the original Anglo-Peruvian t',"t* such sinking fund being therefore raised ti; le rate of eight per oent. per annum. 2d. That from of same year, 1859, one per cent. shall be added to the li e - stng fend of Three per Cents. granted to the Anglo it:uvian Deferred Debt, thus likewise raising the sink tqt,rund to four per cent. per annum. 3d and lastly, t o Wrnra said year of 1859 one per cent. shall be added li e lie sinking fund of One per Cents. belonging to the i tt . i r, Grenad a an d E qua d or d e b ts , t h us ra i s i ng th e sink -1.417,,;4ed to t wo p er cent. per annum .

Lord SHAFTESBURY gave notice that, on this day week, he should move for certain papers connected with proceedings that had taken place at Cawnpore. LORD CANNING'S OUDE PROCLAMATION. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said, he had last night promised the noble earl opposite to lay upon the table certain papers connected with recent proceedings in Oude, and he proposed to place before their lordships the proclamation itself as transmitted to this country and alga a letter from the Secretary to the Government of India to the Chief Commissioner of Oude, by which that proclamation was accompanied. On looking through that letter very carefully, however, he found there were two paragraphs containing reasoning upon the subject, the publication of which might not be expedient. The publi cation of these paragraphs would, he believed, be at tended with inconvenience to the public service, but with that exception the document would be laid before their 10, dships in extenso. The noble earl concluded by mov ing for a copy of the letter from the Secretary to the Go ♦ernment of India to the Chief Commissioner of Oude ; a copy of the proclamation ; and extracts of a letter from the Secret Committee of the East India Company to the Governor-General in Council. Earl GRANVILLE, who was very imperfectly heard, regretted that the noble earl did not think it consonant with his duty to lay these papers upon the table of the house yesterday lest he might be deemed guilty of some want of courtesy to the Directors of the East India Com pany. He (Earl Granville) regretted this circumstance, because he thought it of the utmost importance that the Government should take an early opportunity of afford ing explanations on the subject. He hoped that her Ma jesty's Governmeut would give such explanations to night, as the Indian mail would be despatched on Mon day. He could not understand how it could have entered into the head of any man to refuse - to lay before Parlia • ment a copy of the despatch, but as the noble earl had stated that it was his intention to produce only extracts and not the despatch itself, he must say that that des patch had been in the hands of independent members, and of members of the Reform Club and of the other House of Parliament—(cheers)—for some time. With regard to the proclamation itself, he in common with their lordships, had no knowledge of it beyond what he de rived from the newspaper correspondence yesterday. Looking at that proclamation, ire certainly thought it was a measure of great importance. It appeared to him consonant with those principles which Lord Canning was bound to respect, because they bad been approved by the Court of Directors and the Home Government, for it seemed to be a strong weapon placed iu the bands of negotiators at a most critical moment in order that it might be need for the purpose of treating with those powerful landholders who, the directors held, had no legal right to their estates, and who had been the op pressors of the people. He wished, however, to avoid committing himself in the slightest degree, either to the approval or disapproval of a proclamation issued under such circumstances, as he was totally unacquainted with all the circumstances of the case. He saw from the newspaper correspondence that it was perfectly well un derstood by the landowners of Oude what the intention of this proclamation was, and how it was to be acted upon. He might, perhaps, be blared by the noble lords opposite for dealing with newspaper documents in speaking upon a grave subject like this ; but when the Government were not able to lay on the table of the house the uraclamation, with that most important altera tion, showing more clearly, as he understood it, the opening offered to the landowners—(Here the Earl of Ellenborough made some observation.) He did not wish to misrepresent the noble earl ; but he understood that the answer given in the House of Commons by the Secretary to the Board of Control to a question asked on the subject was, that the Government had received a proclamation which Lord Canning intended should be published when Luoknow was taken, and that he (the Secretary to the Board of Control) believed it to be identical with the copy in the newspapers, with some alteration. If he were mistaken he would withdraw his observation on this point. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH raid, that the papers he had jest moved for would show the proclama tion which the Governor-General directed should be published ; but though tie Government knew that it had been published they had no official information of the actual publication. In the proclamation as given in the public prints there was inserted a paragraph to which he did not attach all the importance which the noble earl seemed to attribute to it, but which was not in the pro. clatuation as transmitted to the Government. Earl GRA.NVILLE said he understood that it was emphatically declared in another place that the secret despatch conveyed to the Governor-General the Govern ment's disapproval of his proclamation "in every sense," and he did think that such a declaration was, under the circumstances, an unheard-of event. (Cheers ). Was the noble earl aware of any precedent of a secret despatch sent out from this country having ever been accompanied by such a comment ? (H ear.) The other day be ventured to ask whether the noble earl was within the bounds of legality when he issued. a despatch on a somewhat simi lar subject through the secret committee ; and the noble earl replied that the course was perfectly legal, and he founded his justification on the secresy of the despatch. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH—I said it referred to an event which had not happened, and possibly might not happen. Earl GRANVILLE said that according to his recollec tion the reason assigned was that it was a case of urgent secresy. However, if the present despatch was secret, and sent through the secret committee (and he under stood that copies had been withheld from the Court of Directors until that morning), what bad occurred to change the necessity for that secrecy 1 (Hear.) He very much feared the effect that the despatch would have on the Governor-General and the people of India. He be lieved that it would be admitted by all persons, notwith standing the previous attacks which bad been made on Lord Canning, that the present Governor-General of In dia had established among the natives of that country a character for firmness and judgment ; and he believed the possession of these qualities sac important for all rulers, but especially for the rulers of Oriental nations. He was not going to paint Lord Canning's character ; but he would :efer to two instances in which his firm ness was remarkably exhibited. There was another pro clamation, nicknamed the Clemency Proclamation. Those who knew the feelings of human nature would adwit that that r roclarnation very naturally excited the resentment of the Europeans in India; and that feeling was taken up in this part of the world ; but neither the clamour raised here or in India induced L - trd Canning to swerve to the right or to the left, but he maintained the even tenour of his way, tempering, justice with mercy. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe that any man entitled to be heard with 'aspect would now rise and disapprove the principles embodied in that proclamation. Another in stance of the firmness f his character was exhibited while the siege of Delhi was being prosecuted with great difficulty. (Here a noble peer observed—" This is an eul , gy.") Well, he thought he bad a right to say some thing in Lord Canning's behalf—(cheers)—wh en that noble lord, though not attacked, was placed in an indi rect way, either intentionally or unintentionally, iu position which made it difficult for him to act, whether according as tee publa advantage or his feelings of pri vate honour might require. He thought that under these circumstances he had a right to make this eulogy, and he should not be deterre I from doing so by the remark which had just been made. (Cheers.) He was referring, when interrupted, to the siege of Delhi, and observing tbatthat siege was prosecuted with some difficulty. Pro positions to negotiate with the inurgents were made, and these propositions came from Sir J. Llwrenc , ., most experienced man, and were approved by the general who conducted the siege to a successful issue. It was, then, an act of great moral courage for a civilian like Lord Canning, who had not long arrived in the c.nintry, to take on himself the great responsibility of absolutely refusing to entertain those propositions, and of insisting that the siege should be proceeded with. (H. ar, hear ) When a change took place in the Government it was cer tainly competent for the noble earl opposite to com municate with Lord Canning, and inform him that the Government did not think him the best person for the post he occupied in India, and that they deemed it their public duty to require him to retire. That course it was open for the Government to take, but a course which was not open for them to pursue was to continue Lord Can ning in his post, and then to give publicity to that com plete censure which they had passed on him. (Cheers.) tie begged not to be misunderstood, and for the sake of argument he would assume that the proclamation in question was entirely wrong ; but while the Government maintained Lord Canning in the post of Governor-Gene ral it was not f )r them to publish an attack on him, and to communicate through Parliament to the people of India that they had absolutely no confidence in the man who in this great emergency had to deal with the people of India. (Cheers.) That was placing Lord Canning in the difficult position of having to decide whether, not withstanding this public affront, he would act according to his private feelings of honour, or as he might think essential for the public good. When the noble earl the President of the Board of Control sent out the despatch which had been described in the other house—and the accuracy of that deecriptien had not yet been questioned Iby the noble earl—he c uld not have reflected upon the effect which it would produce in India. Conceive what would be the thought of the people of India when they were told that the Government in Calcutta was not to he supported by the Government at home in measures of vigour. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the noble earl at the head of the Government would explain to the In use his views upon this great question. Was it his intention that Lord Canning should come home at once ? Had he made any provision for rep'acing him ? When the Chan cellor of the Exchequer so wantonly disclosed the eub stance of a secret despatch, had he considered the pro bable effects both on the Governor-General and on the interests of our Indian empire? There was another question which ought to be answer ad —namely, w hether there was in existence any public correspondence con nectede with the same subject, and, if so , whether th Government would have any objection to produce it ? As the Government had not hesitated to publish • a secret despatch; they cou'it have no scruple iu produc• ing a puttlic correspondence. (Hear, hear.) The Eail of DERBY—I certainly heve no se iris to complain that the noble earl sheuld have aveiled himself of the present opportunity to pass an eulogium, in some respects well deserved, on the conduct a Lord Canning; but I must say he has done injustice to those who sit on this aide of the house in stating that when they occupied the benches opposite Lord Catining was subjected to any attacks from them. (Hear.) Ou the cottrary, although from information we possessed we thought there were great reasons to doubt the propriety of some pares of the conduct of Lord Canning, the language we unifcrenly held while sitting on the other side was that every allow ance ought to be made for the unexampled difficulties in which Lord Canning was placed, and we studiously and carefully forbore to prejudge or condemn any portion of his policy. (Hear.) I must say, my lords, that the complaint of the publication of those papers comes with bad grace from the noble earl opposite, because it was he himself who, with an intensity of interest which your lordships must have remarked, last night urged upon the Government the instantaneous production of these docu ments, and it was in order to satisfy his natural anxiety to have an opportunity of calling attention to the sub ject before the mail left London on Monday next that my noble friend the President of the Board of Control consented to lay the papers on the table in the course of today. (Hear.) The noble earl, however, was riot satisfied with that promise, but he earnestly pressed upon my noble friend and myself the necessity of producing the documents then and there. (Hear.) Earl GRANVILLE—The noble earl was not in his place yesterday when I addressed my first question to the President of the Board of Control, and he seeing to have forgotten that before I opened my mouth on the subject a member of the Government in the other house had promised to produce the papers to day. (Hear, hear.) The President of the Board of Control agreed to lay the documents on the table of this house, but that wag after a similar promise had been given in the House of Commons, and it was at a subsequent part of our sitting that the departure of the wail being fixed for Monday next, I urged the necessity of producing the papers yesterday instead of to-day. The Earl of DERBY—The noble earl has given us a rather long explanation, but Ido not complain of it. I only say he is not the person, having urged so strongly the immediate publication of the papers, to find fault with us for laying them on the table. (Hear.) I admit that the premature and partial discussion of so grave a ques tion at the present moment may be productive of incon venience, and that inconvenience has been in a great measure caused by the practice, exceedingly prejudicial to the public service, of putting questions without suffi cient notice to members of the Government upon diffi cult and important subjects. (Hear, hear.) At the same time, recollect what the circumstances in the present in stance were. A proclamation appears in the public press; it is read and commented upon out of doors, and a mem ber comes down to the other house, and asks a member of the Government whether he has received the procla mation in question, and, if so, whether it meets with the concurrence of the Government. What was the particu lar form of expression used by the Chancellor of the Excheqasr with respect to this proclamation t Ido not think your lordships need inquire, though the noble earl holds a different opinion ; but it would have been im possible for the Government, that question being put to them, to abstain from expressing their opinion relative to the character and nature of the proclamation. (Hear, hear.) Observe what the proclamation was. It was a proclamation issued at the conclusion of successful ope rations against the capital of Oude, declaring that from that time, with few and partial exceptions, the whole of the lauded property in Oude—not public property, but the private property of every individual landholder—was confiscated to the service of the Go vernment. (Hear.) We were asked whether we ap proved that proclamation. Our answer was that we had received a copy of that proclamation as it was about to be issued three weeks ago, and that we had thought it our imperative duty forthwith to express our opi nion that, taking the proclamation as it would be seen and read by the inhabitants of Gude, apart from any instructions which the Governor-General might give to his agents for the purpose of mitigating its apparent severity, it would prove most impslilic land most inju rious to the public interests. (Hear.) We felt it to be our duty, on receiving the proclamation three weeks ago, to send out to the Governor-General that expression of our opinion, but when the noble earl opposite comes to read the despatch to which he has referred he will see that we have made allowance for the position in which the Governer-General was placed, and that, although we have expressed our opinion as to the inspolicy of the proclamation, we have not t a k en u p on ourse l ves t h e re sponsibility of ordering him to withdraw or rescind it, but haVe simply expressed our anxious hops that in prac tice, and in accordance with what no doubt was his own intention, the apparent severity of the proclamation might be materially mitigated. (Hear.) Less than that it would have been impossible for us to do. God forbid that I should seek to vindicate what has been done by the people of Oude ; but there is a broad and manifest isistinction to be drawn between the mutiny of the army and the revolt of the people, (Hear.) The mutiny of the army ought to be and must be followed by wholesome severit y and punishment. The revolt of the people has enlisted in its favour a large amount of sympathy, and— there is no question about it—it arose out of acts of doubtful policy upon our part. (Hear.) It was not a mutiny of those who had eaten mar salt and sworn alle giance to us, bat the revolt of a people who thought—l am not saying whether rightly or wrongly—that their native Sovereign had been unjustly dethroned, and who rose as an armed nation against those whom they con ceived to be usurpers and oppressors. (Rear, hear.) It is absolutely necessary, upon all grounds of policy and justice, not to speak of humanity, that in the treatment of the vanquished there should be a broad and palpable distinction drawn between the mutinous sepoys and the revolted but loyal people of Oude—loyal I mean to their own native King. (Hear, bear.) The punish ment to be inflicted upon our rebellious soldiers is the punishment due to treason, but the people of Oude ought to be dealt with like people who have been conquered in legitimate warfare, and I know of no instance in which a people having been so conquered were subjected to the sweeping declaration that, with few and partial excep tions, all their private property should be confiscated to the use of the victors. (Cheers.) Da I say that it might not be necessary to issue a proclamation to the people of Oude, and even to threaten with confiscation those who continued to stand ia arms against us ? By no means ; but for putting an end to future strife, anti inducing the great landowners—who, like the feudal proprietors of former times, are chiefs with armed retainers, men of im mense wealth and influsnce—to came in and subject themselves to our authority, the course was not to drive them to desperation. It was to hold out a hand to those who might be willing to acknowledge our rule, and I could not have complained of this proclamation iu sub stance provided it had teen reversed—if that which ap pears as the qualification had been made the main article and that which is now the main article hal been made the qualification. If, instead of proclaiming the confisca tion of all estates, with the exception of nose persons who might come in and receive the indulgent considera tion i f the Government, proclamation had in the first in stance been mtmde, that the Government were ready to receive wi h every degree of iudulgence those who had been seduced into revolt, and to restore the lands, pro perties, and possessions of those who might have been temporarily in arms against them, provided they at once submitted to the clemency of the Government and pro mised allegiance to the Sovereign ; but that, on the other hand, those who continued in revolt must expect no mercy and ne f irbearance, bu- that they would be sub jected to the just confiscation of their property for con tinuing to carry on a hopeless struggle—l think that in that case the Governer-General would have held out to those great chieftains of Oude an inducement to come to his terms and to submit to his au thority, which would have materially shortened the struggle in that country. By taking the other citurse— by driving these men to desperation, he was likely to protract the struggle, because these chieftains bad noth ing but their arms to trust to for the maintenance of their property. Therefore I think her Majesty's Go vernment would have failed in their duty it, when that proclamation reached them, they had not intimated to the Governor-General their opinion of its policy, and had not expressed their hope—and they had done noth ing more—that in practice he would see reason to miti gate to a great extent the wholesale confiscation which the proclamation itself was likely to convey to the minds of the people of Oude. That is the course which her Majesty's Government have pursued. It may have been —I think it was—unfortunate that a question should suddenly have been asked, the conserpence of which has been the production of this letter ; but it would have been impossible to satisfy the public mind that the Go vernment of this country had not neglected the interests of humanity if they had allowed it to be supposed they sanctioned and consented to the issuing of a proclama tion apparently confiscating the property of those whose crime was not to have mutinied, but to have been in arms against our authority. (Hear.) The noble earl opposite has said that at an early period Lard Canning was blamed for too much clemency, and that he is now apparently blamed for too great severity. My lords, what ever may have been said of the too great clemency which Lord Canning was supposed to have exhibited towards the Sepoys, 1 thick the noble earl will do me the justice to recollect that when on that side of the house I can didlyand plainly stated that I thought Lord Canning's ex planation had satisfactorily vindicated his conduct, and had removed every imputation which had been cast upon him. (Hear.) What I complain of in this case is that Lord Canning has not drawn the distinction which it it , most important should be drawn between th e m utinousSe pays and the rebellious people of Oude, and that he is treat ingt with great severity, or apparently intending _ a m to treat with great severity, men who have been guilty of paratively trifling offence. The noble earl Canning asks from whether we have recalled or intend to recall Lord the Government of India. We have no such G in o t v e e c r t n io o n r: and the communication which wassen was studiously General with respect to that proclamationt to not consider it as imposing upon him the so worded that Lord Canning should necessity, in accordance with his own honour, o fresignin g the office which he now holds. We did noteven go sofar as desire him to recall the proclamation -- we only expressed a hope that he would a ct upon it in a merciful spirit. The same view appears to have occurred to Lord Canning himself, for the last para graph but one of the amended proclamation which ap pears in the public papers seems to indicate the existence in the mind of the Governor-General of an intenti n to do to a certain extent that which we urged upon him the neccsity and propriety of doing. (Hear, hear, from Lord Grey.) But that mitigation did not appear in the original proclamation, and it was to the original and not to the amended proclamation that the despatch which has been sent to India had reference.

RLTISOURED MUTINY ON BOARD AN AMERICAN star IN THE MERSET.—LIVERPOOL, TbUrSday • —T h i s morn i ing it was currently rumoured n the nei ghbourhood of the Exchange Docks that a mutiny had broken out on boar,' the American ship Ocean Monarch, at anchor in the Mersey. On proceeding on board the Officers of the detective force discovered that a disturbance, w hi c h at one time threatened to assuma a very serious character. commenced between some of the officers and about 20 of the crew, the latter refusing to proceed to sea owing to some alleged cruel treatment experienced at the hands of the officirs. The recent exposures of brutal treatment of sailors on board American vessels caused a more than usual credence to be attached to many flying reports% The police officers could not find any case of gross bru tality or harsh conduct used on the part of the officers of the ship, and believe that the charges were trumped up by some of the most violent of the crew to evade sailing in the vessel, they baying, however, in the mean time, got advance notes granted, and money ad vanced upon them. The Ocean Monarch h a d on board a very large number of emigrants, chiefly I r ish and German, and was to have taken her departure for New York this afternoon. She belong s to the - firm of Messrs. Batbbone Brothers, of this port, who would not countenance anything like cruelty b e i ng corn mitted on board their vessels. She is the largest Ameri can ve.e•el that ever entered the need less . Mersey, and possesses .ss the greatest stowage of any vessel pert_ It ; to add that the emeate, while it lasted, caused no small consternation on board. The sailors who refused to proceed in the vessel were landed by a steam -tug and taken before the American Consul, Mr. Tucker, who arranged the matter without the aid of the local authorities. able to take this ceportunity of saying that, elihough T dee net think it goer for enough, yet. undoubtedly, that eaerepit a considerable mitigation of the pri c aniation. as originally iesued. Ido not wish to cast the slightest blame upon L ird Canning, but I cannot say that I ap prove the course which he has pursued. Ido net doubt that Lord Canning pursued it with the best intentions. I doubt not that, in his own mind, he wished to pre- serve to himself and to the Government the power of materially mitigating the severity of that proclamation ; but your lordships will observe that unfoltunately—l mean unforiuuately with regard to the effect upon the people of Oude—the mitigating spirit was not made kno am to them while the proclamation of wholesale confiscation was—e circumstance which was calculated to drive the people to der , peratior e and therefore iedifleitely to protract the straggle in that coun• try. My lords, I earnestly hope that Lord Canning may" have acted in a spirit of generous appre elating of the many mitigating circumstances in favour of the people of Oude ; that be may in practice have re• laxed--have greatly relaxed—the severity of the original decree ; and that this practical proof of his intention to diminish its severity may avert those injurious cense euencee with regard to the continuance of war an the continuance of bad feeling which I cannot b u t ant i c i pate are likely to flow from the proclamation in its origi nal form. (Hear.) Ino not regret that at the p resent ma. went this letter shou d have been brought so prom neatly into notice—that its production should hays been, perhaps somewhat hastily, promised ; and I am sure what has passed your lordships will see tie pro. priety of the course which my noble fi iend has reeeme mended to-night—that of laying on your lordships' table only such portions as may be published without causing serious inconvenience to the public service, and omitting some passages which, if published in India, might, in the opinion of her Majesty's Government, produce a most prejudicial effect. The noble earl (Eel' Granville) himsilf, as a friend of Lord Canning, has had an oppore tuoity of seeing the whole despatch. We thought it right, after his intimation 6M he intended to make some observations upon this subject, that he should see the whole despatch and shou!d be made acquainted with all that had taken place ; and I think that, however much he may regret that any portion of the despatch should have been made public, be will concur with me that we have exercised a scund discretion in laying upon the table only extracts, omitting certain paragraphs which I. pointed out to the noble earl. (Hear.) The Duke of ARGYLL—I shall not be tempted by the speech of the noble earl to say one word on the merits of Lord Cunning's proclamation, upon the polioy of which he has taken this opportunity of expressing a decided opinion. I beg the house to rec illect that my noble friend (Earl Granville) most care'ully abstained from expressing any opinion on that point; and although there were many observations of the noble earl (the Earl of Derby) in regard to which it will, when this subject is debated in a few days, be easily shown that the noble earl labours under mistaken im pressions, yet those matters are not now before the house, and I will therefore not discuss them. What we ought to press upon the attention of the Government is the course of conduct which they have pursued towards Lord Canning with respect to this proclamation. (hear.) If one sentiment bas been oftener repeated than another by noble lords on both sides of this house, and by hon. gentlemen on both sides of another house, it' has been, that the government of India must mainly be carried on in that country ; that is to say, that the government of India and the welfare of the Indian pe)ple must mainly depend upon the wisdom and upon the strength of the Government there. (Hear.) What a comment is it upon this doctrine, which has received the assent of the Go vernment. that on the very first occasion on which the Governor-General issues a proclamation of which the borne Government does not entirely approve, they take tie opportueity of throwing him over—not merely of expressing disapproval o f hi s con d uc t, b u t o f throwing him over in the most offensive manner ! (Cries of " No, no," wad cheers.) How can you carry on the go-remnant of India if your relations with the Governor-General are to be con lucted in such a manner as this ? I observe that nei.her of the noble earls opposite who have addressed the house have taken the slightest notice of the report which was referred to by my noble friend—that although this famous despatch of the noble earl (the Eatl of Ellen borough) has gone through the secret committee, and has been kept absolutely from the knowledge cf the Court of Directors—that council with which he is bound to consult upon great questions of Indian policy—until to day, yet it has been in the bands of private members of Parliament for the course of several weeks. (Hear.) [The Earl of Derby here made an observation across the table which did not reach the gallery ] I refer to the report mentioned by my noble friend. I have not heard it, but he has, and I think it important that it should receive some explanation. What was the course taken in this matter I An honourable member gets up in ano ther place, which shall be nameless, and asks whether the proclamation of the Governor-General has been issued under instructions from the Government at home. The Minister of the Crown who represents the noble earl opposite in that place is represented to have given a very moderate answer—no doubt somewhat imprudently pro mising the production of the despatch, but using very moderate terms. In reply to another question, how ever, a still higher official of the Government gets tip and announces to the British Parliament that the policy of the Governor-General has been condemned in every sense. (Cheers.) Tue noble earl, having concealed this despatch from the Court of Directors,—and I do not see that there was any necessity for adopting such a course, because the most important matters connected with the annexation of Oude were not transacted through the secret committee—confined himself, as the report goes, t) communicating it to independent members of Parlia nvint ; and what occurred in the other House of Parlia ment has all the appearance of having resulted from an arrangement between these independent members and the Government, by which the condemnation of the con duct of Lord Canning should he announced to the House of Commons in the most offensive terms. I ask if any course has ever been taken by any Government more likely to bring into contempt the authority cf the Go vernor cf India I If you lay down the principle that, however your home Government may be constituted, it is to the authorities in India that you must mainly trust for the maintenance and preservation of your empire, could you have taken a course more likely to throw con tempt upon those authorities and to involve the difficult and complicated question of the government of Oude in hopeless confusion than that which you have in this in stance pursued 1 (Cheers.) The ileo 1 f ELLENBOROUGH.—It has been alleged that thieletter ought to havebeen made known to the Court of Directors only. My lords, it never would have been male known to the Court of Directors if the proclamation had not been made public. That letter referred only to this proclamation, and only to a particular passage contained in it. I was in hopes, up to the last moment, that, yielding to the representations which I believe were made to him against issuing that proclamation, Lord Canning never would have issued it in the form in which it was sent home. If he had yielded to such representations, the proclamation never having been issued, this letter would never have been known. It would have remained perfectly secret, and only years and years hence might it have been discovered that it was once the Governor General's intention to publish such a document. It is next objected that some private individuals are in possession of tide letter in extenso. The noble earl himself is in possession of it. (Rear, hear.) Re requested to have it communicated to him, and he now complains that that which was sheen as an act of courtesy towards himself should be shown to others equally interested with himself in the welfare of India, though not interested perhaps as much as himself in Lord Canning. My lords, it is resumed that her Majesty's Government have not acted fairly towards Lord Canning, and have not given him their full support. I think it is not three weeks, unless I am greatly mistaken, since the n oble earl expressed his approbation of the secret letter which I placed upon the table, and was pleased also to observe, in expressing that approbation, that that letter would afford material support to the Governor-General. My lords, what wore the terms and obj ct of that letter It dee' tred the hope of her Majesty's Government that our recent successes would enable the Governer-General to act in a spirit of clemency as well as of justice towards the people. Hire is the paragraph : "To us it appears that whenever open resistance shall have ceased it would be prudent, in awarding punishment, rather to follow the practice which prevails after the con quest of a country which has defended itself to the last by desperate war than that which may perhaps be lawfully adopted after the suppression of mutiny and rebellion, such acts being excepted from forgiveness or mitigation of punishment as have exceeded the license of legitimate hos tilities." (enema.) That was the principle which was laid down. We thought it especi a lly applicable to the posi t i on Oude and to the people of that country. What do we say in conclusion : " Acting in this spirit, you may rely upon our sue qualified support." And, toy lords, we did not only send that despatch to India, and keep it in the secret bY departmentwhich as a thing ti, be known to Lord Canning alone he would have received but little support fromin f we act, it ; made it public here 39 soon as we were enabled to do so, and conveyed to all India the knowledge of the fact that her Majesty's Goverurnent were determined to give hii their unqualified s upp o rt —their support, be it observed, in the prosecu tion of a system of_ clemency as we ll as justice. And what did we receive a few days afterwards This proclamation ! My . lords,_ no Government would h ave deserved to survive 21 hours which had not k d with its reprobation the confiecatiou under suck narecircumstances of the proprietary rights of the entire p° p eof Oude. (Cheers.) I cannot believe, whatever may be the sentiments of the noble earl and his friends, that there can exist in this country a feeling which will not induce all classes to support those who have repro. bated such a declaration from the Government of India. (Cbeeis.) I hold that the hostilities which exist in Oudo bear mere the character of war than of rebellion. And yet, notwithstanding that fact, the penalty in, flictel is one which is hardly to be found in the records of any history that we possess. The noble sail asks what I desire to do with respect to the Governor-General. As I understand him, he wishes to know whether I de- sire that Lord Canning should return to this country. My lords, if I had desired to force the return of Lord Canning, I shoul I have made the conclusion of that de sea'ce more in keeping with the observations which it was nece eery to make throughout it. I avoided the expression ef that opinion. I knew also that there might exist circumstances when that despatch arrived which might make it as impolitic suddenly to recall the proclamation as it was diplomatic ever to issue it ; and I did not desire to force Lord Canning to the adoption of that course. But, my lords, I am asked what I de sire. I do not desire the return of Lord Canning, but Ido not fear it. Provision has been made, as the noble earl perfectly well knows, and the very best provision. It was suggested by myself, a few days after the change cf Ministry; and I found it had been already adopted TIM all all all 1100 1100 20i 20i 100 100 100 100 50 1.00 100 20 50 20 FOR: lON. 20j 5 i i 57 Si 18i St. 8i St. St. St. 25 10 1.0.6
