AN). merle-street, Piccadilly—Opposite the York Hotel, W, THE VOTE OF CENSURE, - - The Earl of SHAFTESBURY rose to move the following resolutions :-- " 1. That it appears from papers laid upon the table of this house that a despatch has been addressed by the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors to the Go vernor-General of India, disapproving a proclamation which the Governor-General had informed the Court he intended to issue after the fall of Lucknow. "2. That it is known only from intelligence that has reached this country bj correspondence published in newspapers that the intended proclamation has been issued, and with an important modification, no official account of this proceeding having yet been received ; that this house is therefore still without full information as to the grotteds upon which Lord Canning, lam acted, and his answer to the objections made to his iiitenda proclamation in the despatch of the Secret Committee cannot be received for several weeks. 3. That under these circumstances this house is unable to form a judgment on the proclamation issued by Lord Canning, but thinks it right to express its disap probation of the premature publication by her Majesty's Ministers of the despatch addressed to the Governor- General, since this public condemnation of his conduct is calculated to weaken the authority of the Governor- General in India, and to encourage those now in arms against this country." The noble earl said it had almost always been his in variable rule never to interfere in any political question, and he had departed from this rule with great reluctance, because it obviously more suited his comfort and capa city, and because his sympathies were with the great body of those who formed the Government of the noble earl. But the gravity of the question had rendered it necessary that something should be done, and he called God to witness that this had been his only motive in coming forward at the present moment. He had not been in his present course actuated by any political feeling or feelings of personal ani mosity to the noble earl (Derby). He could not con sider the noble lord (Ellenborough) alone culpable for what he had written—for what he had written the Government had written— (hear, hear)— what had published they had published—(hear, hear) — and he did not think that any separate responsi bility existed, but that it extended to the whole of the Administration. The step taken by the noble earl (Ellenborougb) in retiring from office rendered it absolutely necessary that something should now be done, because it was considered by some persons that by that retirement no further responsibility was attached to the Government for the publication of the despatch. He con sidered that the question under discussion, which at one time had been only politically important bad now become both politically and constitutionally important, and the retirement of the noble earl from office had not altered the case in the slightest, as both morally and logically it remained entirely the same, and he could not consent to throw on the noble earl the sole responsibility of publishing a certain document which had led to this question being brought forward. If they had reason to find fault with a Governor-General it was their duty to recall him, and not degrade him. If Lord Canning had acted like Warren Hastings he ought to have been impeached here for high crimes and misde• meanour, and another sent out. But what greater folly could there be than to injure the office in India, and make it merely showy and lofty (Hear, hear.) They could not govern India now as formerly, for a great change had taken place in the native mind, which was alive to inquiry and drew its own conclusions. By this despatch the Government bad takes away the essence of power from the Governor-General, and left him only the externals, and they would find that the people of India would not bow down to it. The noble lord then moved the resolutions. The Earl of ELL ENBOROUGFI—I so la'ely re ceived your lordships' indulgence when I stated shortly and clearly the circumstances under which I resigned my office, that I think I shou:d trespass most unwarrantably upon your attention if I were, although invited by the noble earl, now to repeat what I then addressed to your lordships. I distinctly said that in common sense I alone was responsible for the publication of this letter, because I alone knew that it was about to be published ; and there is not a common jury in the united kingdom which would not scout as absurd a charge against any man for an act of which he necessarily knew nothing. (Rear, hear, and a laugh.) The noble earl has had the goodness to read for your lordships' edification a considerable por tion of that letter itself, commenting as be went on. I shall not follow the noble earl through those details. With respect to much of what the noble earl said I shall only observe this—that all the facts stated are in the blue-books before Parliament, and are as accessible to all the world as anything that is known to the public of this country. All that is not in the blue-books is equally known to the whole people of Uncle. This letter states the ground on which I (and I believe all the world came to this conclusion) was of opinion that the war in Owls bears more the character of legitimate war than of rebel lion. (Hear, hear.) But I must be allowed to read two passages i❑ the letter which the noble earl has ab stained from reading. They are these, not unimportant ------- - " We desire to see British authority in India resting upon the willing obedience of a contented people. (Loud cheers.) Governm ent c annot lon g be main if t ained by any force in a country wher e the whole people is rendered hos tile by a sense of wro n g , and, it were possible so to main tain it, it would not be a consummation to be desired." (Hear.) Those are the principles by which I stand. Those are the principles upon which I say the Govern ment of India should be c inducted. (Cheers.) And I feel, indeed, that the question before your lordships to. night is one far more important than anything aff e cti ng merely the existence of an Administration. It is practi cal:), this—Shall the Government of India be conducted on the principles of severity which appeared in that pro clamation of Lord Canning ! (Cheers.) I hoped, when I wrote that letter, that the proclamation never would be promulgated. I had every reason to believe that the strongest representations were made to Lord Canning against its promulgation by persons the most entitled to make such representations. (Cheerce) I was in hope s that these represenaaeions would prevail. But this, at any rata, I know—that if that proclamation were pub lished it was absolutely necessary, in my opinion, that immediately there should appear a letter to undo the mischief, to mitigate the danger which must arise from the proniulgaton of principles of such excessive seve riv. Your lordships have been referred to the restrain ing clause in the proclamation. What has that clauseset forth ? It says that persons who support the Govern ment shall obtain the restitution of their property. Why? Because the confiscation took the whole of it away. Now, there is the greatest possible difference between confiscation iu Lord Dalhousie's proclamation and con fiscation in that of Lord Canning. 'The former was pro spective ; it was denounced against those who should hereafter beceme rebels. (Hear.) The confiscation in Lord Canning's proclamation is retrospective, and it strikes a whole people. (Cheers.) I have been in formed, and I have no doubt of the fact, that, however strong this expression of " the proprietary right" may ap ' pear to yuur lordships, in the language of India its strength is greatly increased by any possible translation. But, my lords, consider what is confiscation. It has net been known in Europe to this extent for 800 years. The only example of anything resembling it is in the time of William the Conqueror. True, we have had confiscation in Ireland. It is said that large portions of that country have been confiscated three times over. But has the re sult been peace ? Has the result been prosperity ? Do not all those who have considered the subject trace to confiscation all the disasters which have occurred in that country ? (Hear.) In India, however, confiscation is un known. No Mahommedan conqueror has ever perpe trated that which is perpetrated through Lord Canning's proclamati n. Whatever have been the changes of dy nasty, the t for u of war has swept over village comniu nitie,, and the property of individuals from the lowest to the highest. The wise conquerors of India have changed little but the rule. They have left everything standing. And on that account it is that they were enabled to es tablish a permanent Government. ;(sheers.) The noble earl has thought fit to allude to what I did in Sciude. My lords, in Scinde I struck the rulers to the ground because they had been guilty of treachery against the British Crown, because they had attacked the British Resident Minister immediately after the conclusion of a treaty of peace. But I confirmed to every man his pro perty, and that was the secret of our strength in &Undo and of the permanent tranquillity of that country. There has not been one hand raised against the British Go vernment since the battle which destroyed the l a st of the Ameers who were contending for t he sovereignty. In two months that country was subdued, and at the presenttnoment B there is not a port ion of the d wrhritish em pire in India which is more fa ithful than Scin e. y d . It is faithful because pr o p ert y has respected. (Cheers.) resp (Cheers.) My lords, we are told that we ought to form no opinion with respect to this proalannitlon until we have explanations. I ask, why have we not exola- I nations now ? (Cheers.) Explanations should pre cede or at least accompany a measure of this great im portance, and not follow it—it they do toilow it at ell— at the iuterval of a month. (Hear.) But what tone had Lord Canning to communicate to the Government here respecting the pslicy he intended to adopt ? Lord Canning directed the Commander-in-Chief, i when he re tired from Locknow, to leave a garrison n the Alum ' bagh. He then intended, as soon as he could get to oether a sufficient force, to attack and take Lu.eknow. Upon that measure he determined entirely on political, not on military grounds. He took upon him•elf the whole responsibility of that measure. A general, acting on military grounds, would first have obtained full pos sesi n of his own country, would ; have cleared 1.1 ,hd cund, have pacified Bareilly, have restored trarquill ty to Berar. Lord Canning, on the contrary, overruling all stratagetical considerations, and in search of what . civilians call the prestige, which has nearly been our ruin in the course of the last year, insisted on the con• centration of all our forces for the attack on Lucknow. He knew he would have Lucknow. The movement on t bat place commenced on the 4th of March. Sir Colin Campbell had arrived at Cawnpoee, and had completed his victory there three months before that time. Why did not Lord Canning communicate meanwhile to his friends here ! Is is possible that he should not have thought over what he should do when he got possession of the place ? I say he oug h t to have commit icated his then prevailing intentions, arid have sought the opinion of the Government SO as to act with their approval , n such an important measure. (Hear.) Bat since then a month has elapsed. Why have we not now an exalara tioe ! My lords, there is no explanation. There are some things which cannot be explained. Corffscation is one of these. It is incapable of explanation. It stan•ls in all its naked deformity—the most cruel punishment which can ever be inflicted upon a country. (Cheers.) If there were to be confiscation, however, surely it should have applied only to the gulty. (Hear.) Who ever heard of inflicting punishment so universal as to strike every man in a country, innocent as well as guilty ! My lords, we have iu India now 21 regim en t s ref disarmed SePUys. We have three regiment of Native Cavalry and three of Irregular Cavalry disarmed—alto gether 27 regiments. The position of these disarmed regiments has justly been a subject of the de Test anxiety to the Government of India. It is necessary to keep British troops to wa'cle them. There are 2,000 or 3,000 of them within a night's march of Calcutta, where quite recently a panic was actually occasioned by them. 01 these troops one-half ate in Oude. They cannot be en gaged in the rebellion. Tuey have been almost mad dened by the attacks made on them in the course of the mutiny, and which they have learned from the news papers. They have been threatened with hanging, with being blown from guns, and tt.ey are now ueder a penis, hardly knowing what they are to do. But imagine the position in which they wil be placed if they read the proclamation I What roust be their feelings when, while disarmed and incapable of committing any act against the Government, however ind-gnant they might be at the dishonour they had sustained,—what must be their feelings, I say, whon they find that all their property is at once confiscated, and that they have not a home to go to ? (Cheers.) More than this,—the Maboininedan mosques, the Hiudoo temples, ail are supported by the land of the country. The whole of tone, however, is confiscated ; the whole means of triaititaining both re iigions are unwisely, rashly taken away. All the pro vision for objects of charity, for orphans and widows, is swept away. Not one single exception is made, save only in the case of the six individuals ireetioned in the proclamation. Such things are enough to mad den every man tier ,ughout the country, and tberefere I thought to myself—" I will write, and at the earoQst possible moment after that proclamation is pnb lished I ail! send my letter as an andidote, that the public may know they arc to be ruled with justice and clemency." (Loud cheers.) My lords, consider now what is our actual position. We have taki n Luck now. The hot weather is coming on. When we heard last it was the most severe, the most clamorous period of the year. Are we occupying Oude I We have lint a man to occupy any part of the Country. The proclama tion is a nullity, except as to tbs effect produced on the mind., of the people. The Commander-in-Chief has now marched into Bercilly wits the half of li;s troops. One brigade has gone to Azirogbur to relieve the detachment under Colonel Milnuan which is shut up there. The Goorkas are gone home. Another brigade remains in Lucknow. Between the right and lef, of cur position there is an interval of 400 miles ; and the centre of that position, Oude, in which we held only this larger gar rison—the brigade at Luckno w—has, as I firmly be lieve, been converted into a Rea of fire by Lord Catinirg's proclamation. (Cheers.) Surely it was necessary for me, whose duty it was to do what I a mid to pree, rye the tranquillity of India, to repair, if possible, these great evils, and to send out a message of pence and mercy to the people of that country. (Renewed cheers.) I am told that in so doing I our weakening the autho rity of the Governor-General. My lords, my despatch weakens his authority for evil ; it strengthens bin greatly for all purposes of good. (Hear, hear.) I truet when he receives it be will think it batter to part with evil counsels. Ido not believe that Lord Canning him- , self was the author of this proclamation. it is contrary to what I have heard of his conduct and i f his feelings. (Rear, hear.) I believe it to have proceeded from other sources. I believe that he has placed himself in the hands of men who have learned nothing and have for gotten nothing—who imagine that after this drea lful convulsion they can re-establish as it stood civilian au thority in India. This is a great error, and it is of the uttnest importance Lord Canning should feel tha• justice and clemency and consideration for the people of India are the governing principles of those who are at the bead of affairs here, and also the principles which it is abso• 'tritely necessary he should adopt. (Hear, hear.) But I am told that this letter will tend to encourage resistance on the part of the people now in arms against us. lily lords, I should meet such a charge with an indignation I could hardly express did I not feel its utter absurdity. (Hear, hear.) Why, I was the first in this house who warned your lordships that the daneer was corning, who advised you to prepare fur it, to set the country in arms, and to be ready to engage in a great and a perilous war. (Hear, hear ) Was it probable, having given you that advice a year ago, that when I became in a measure re sponsib e for the war in India I should do any act which would en -ourage the resistance of the very men I had to oppose ? But consider for a moment what is the position of these armed men in Oude under the proclamation and the measures which it wiil render n cessary. They were men aho bad b -en figh in; with the rope round their necks. My object was to remove that rope. (Cheers.) They were men who had been fighting without hope. I wished to give th em h ope. T he pr iclaination lift them without hotnes—without land which would enable them to subsist. I gave them the hope of returning to their homes, to their villages, to all the comforts of their families. That was the object of my letter. \Vas that to encourage resistance, or to give the only hope of salva tion to the people? In a previous letter which Was pub lished I distinctly used the word "amnesty." It is my firm belief—and I have heard it of many and from many in India—that there is no hope of ultimate success but by an amnesty. (Hear, hear.) My lords, the son of a great and noble friend of mine—the late Duke of Wel liegton—has had the goodness to put into my Lands this evening an unpublished leaf from some additional letters of that noble duke, in which I find these words, which, although referring to a comparatively unimportant mat ter, show distinctly the naiad with which he regarded subjects of this nature,— " I am for the principle of amnesty, as referable to all inferior agents ; I have recommended it strongly to the s l'eshwah' durbar, and I am convinced that if it had been adopted at an early period the critical circumstances of the present moment would not exist. It is the principle upon which we have settled Mysore and the coded districts, and that upon which we have made our way to this place. Eternal enmity against every petty agent concerned against us or our allies will never answer." My lords, that is true wisdom. I followed the noble duke's advice when I acted as I have told you I acted in Sciode. The result has been the tranquidity of that coun try. (CheErs.) I know, my lords, from history and from observation, that there is no part of the world in which —perhaps from their rarity—justics and clemency when united with power have so much influence as in India. They have been the really effective weapons of all the great conquerors in the East. It has not been by striking down their enemies in the field, but by wise and prudent provisions for the maintenance of property and ( f all the ancient rights of the people, that they have established and continued their power. They claimed nothing but rule ; they maintained the people as they found them. (Oneers.) And now, my lords, allow me very shortly to observe upon the position in which we stand at present. During the last 12 months we have thrown upon India the whole of our disposable force. NV e have—l will not say run great risk—but we have gone to the utmost pos sible extent in despatching to India a military force. I have said, not in this house only, but I also took occa sion to say in a paper which I published, that it is im possible for us with our present military institutions to furnish a sufficient force for carrying on a dangerous war in I n dia, but there are, NV lords, other mote dangers which have always been found ulti t financialw a fatal to a State. I allude to the dangers of alengthened dif ficulty. At the present moment the expense with the British troops we have in Indiais connecte c: qual to the had at the cAn lordsbipe may be sur expense of the whole native army we mencement of the war, and 0 the number of the native standing the great redscti.ou prised to hear. but it really.y (m in s to the army in the Pun isurthe fact, that, notwith troops in Bengal, strength of the native army have raised the numerical which it stood when the war com menced.jab, to:the army ofth:laaddrdals" and to the army of Bombay almost to the level at are We have this year borrowed very nearly 1 0,000,000/. My lords, how these expenses to be met We have been fortunate in the receipts from some items of the revenue; there was a large balaucs in the Trea• .nry ; and with all, these advantages we have for this one year been enabed to go forward ; but what have we to expect for the future ? Your lordships know well that there is nothing so delicate or so sensitive as finan cial credit. I feel absolutely convinced, unless the Go vernment of this country sh o uld i m p ose upon the Go vernment of India the principle of cleme ncy as that which is to guide it towards natives who may be in what is called rebellion against them, that war will last for a period tho end of which I cannot fored:e.

(Lend cheers.) The Duke of ARGYLL said it had b. en argued by many that the question before them was a personal question, and that because Lord Canning was a mere. 1 tier of the aris'ocracy, counting many friends an both sides of their lordships hou-e, a deep feeling o f excitement had been tailed with reference to the pre sent di -mnsion. Now, he could not agree that the interest which they felt in the discussion arose from any s 4 cause. No doubt there was a time when Lord Canning did require support in their lordships' hou,e and through the country—fur Lord Canning's great capacity was not as yet fully apprec'ated—but that time was passed, and he must cengrstu'ate the early friends cf Lord Canning upon the complets triumph that he had gained. (Cheers ) Let i; be remembered that Lord Cannir was the first to raise his wise in favour of justice , A mercy. (Cheers.) Ile would venture to predict and in future times the administration of Lord Canning in India would be remembered when the administration of England by the noble earl opposite would be utte,ly forgotten. He had beard it said that this was a mere party move. Now, he was no; one of those who de. precated party organization ; en the contrary, he heartily wished that at the moment they had in both houses such a complete organist ttion as would ensure to them what they otherwise never would have, namely, an honest Gaveremeut and an effective Opposition. (Hear, bear.) But the real truth was, that on both bides of that house a cmservative feeling prevailed—sr feeling favourable to all governments. Nevertheleen, tLeir feelings had been roused ou that occasion because they believed that the Government of India had been materially weakened, not merely by the publication of nut by the sending of the despatch. Now, the Govern. ment had plenty of dine to consider whether or not the de-patch should have been published—ther had at least the whole of Fri lay, upon which, by-the-bye a council was held by reflection--and if they were of opinioa that its publication would ba dangerous they ought even at the eleventh hour to have gone down to the house and declared that out of consideration for the public service they were unable to keep the promise which had been prematurely made. And the fact was there were pas sages in the despatch quite as obnoxious as those which had been suppressed. But no, the Government wanted to make political capitelont of tee despatch, a: d therefore it was made public. Every one of the Cabinet were relapses. Bible for the puelication of the despatch; and it was im possible to read is without seeing it was intended for publication. Besides, nothing could be more accurate than the statements in the despatch, esp 2cially that con• tained in the paragraph relating to the annexation of Oude. Now, did the nohl i lord metal to reopen th; whole question of the annexation of Oude ; fur if he did, the Cabinet of L ird Palmerston, and ant merely Lord Dal. housie, must be held responsible for that measure. He could not help feeling that in tide affair the Government had committed as many mistakes as it was possible for them to commit ; and that, for the sake of casting din. ciedit upon Lord Dalhousie, they had indirectly cast censure upon the Crown. (Cheers.) The Earl of CARNAR,VON believed that his noble friend the late President of the India Board was perfectly a' is to justify the language of his despatch against the taunts of the noble duke. There might be a despatch if such a character, that it was bit er not to publish it; but under a parliamentary constitution it was better to have the freest publmity. If it was publicity in India that was object.ed to, then it was in the power of the Governor-General himself to suppress it ; but if it was the publication in Righted that was meant, then the at• tack ought not to come from those who had always bees in favour of publicity. There were two publications, one of which was the !necessary correlative of the other— the proclamation and the despatch. But it was in th e very nature of the proclamation that it should be a public document; while the despatch would never, but for an accidental misunderstanding, have met the public gaze. It comes to this—that the present was a combined attack on ono individual, and as he bad admitted his responsi bility, it would be ungenerous for the house to pas, the resolution. There had been a second copy of the pro. claination, in which there was a modification, and it Was said that the Governor-General had reasons for his conduct, which were as yet unknown to us. But the question was not what was in the mind of the Governor. General, but what was the effect on the minds of the people of India. It was said that there were exceptions in favour of certain individuals, but that made the matter worse. If there had been no exceptions specified, a certain nureber would have ft It that it ceuhl not apply to them, lei .g innocent. But the mention of these names excluded that hope, and gave to the confiscation an effect of reality which nothing could efface. To those who had been faithful the proclamation gave only the enjoyment ( f what they already had, and only six per. SODS were to be thus rewarded. With those exceptions, the whole population was included in one sweeping clause ( f confiscation. This would drive many to dis traction. Then there were the disbanded regiments of sepoys, and a numerous class of men who, carried away by a blinding fanaticism, by a mistaken loyalty to the royal family, had committed themselves before they were aware of this. This proclamation excluded the hope of reconciliation, as it would throw on them the onus pro. bandi of their innocence. If it was to be acted on wholly, it would be monstrous ; if, in part, where was the justice of takiug one man's land away from hint, and sparing at all ; and if it was not to be acted upon, it was impolitic) to make threats which were uol intended to be enforced. What had occurred was not the fault of Government or any member of the Government, but of the right hon. gentleman who received a private letter, and did not communicate to the Government a message referring env a public matter. ([fear, hear.) However, he did not regret it ; lie rejoiced that the despatch had gone forth in the words of Lord Ellenborough, as " a message of peace and pardon to the people of India." He con. demned the policy of confiscation, and pointed to the evils that bad arisen from it in Ireland. He called on them to support the pug cy of justice and of mercy, and not to sanction that of severity and the lust of power. The Duke of SOMERSET said the Government had at first tried to make the house believe that the publica tion of the despatch hat slipped out by accident— ques. tiers were suddenly asked, and must be answered at once. Now, it came out that it was not an accident at al— (hear, Lear, and laughter)—but that they ought to consider it as a sort of anti- proclamation. (A laugh.) Had the President of the Board of Control sent out this anti-proclamation in defiance of the Cabinet, that they should now say the y were n, t responsible for it II (Rear.) After throwing overboard the India Bill they had thrown over the India Minister, thus showieg a disposition to clear the decks as soon as they could. (A. laugh.) The despatch was most unwise, and had the noble lord been in opposition, and such a despatch been sent out by those in office, he would have felt it to be most prejudicial to our interests. It condemned the annexation of Onde clearly, decisively, and in the strut gest language. The noble earl said that O u d e l ie d b een uniformly faithful to the treaties. The proclamation in 1851 referred to the treaties in which the Sovereign was bound not only to pay tribute, but also to maintain good government. We were bound to make that condition, because it was by our aid that he was suppored from without, and from within by our defending him from external attack, and our resident assisting hint in the government of the king dom. We had all along been remonstrating with him for not maintaining good government, and when our re monstrances were not heeded we annexsd the territory. That annexation Was confirmed by the British Govern. tnent. But the noble lord sympathised with the rebels of Oude, and said their resistance was legitim ate l at n e dia war. ft bre. If this was done to secure the pe ace o was a bad way. The noble lord said th at there bad bZen no confiscation in India since t he Norman conq uest. r occa. ay the on S e a w r° o n rd t Lenaid, " My lords, sion he held up to e mulation, w He thus held up to reprobation hwelnia a forme you hold India as the in England." (Lang • erulwedouoldvesr on Govern.m•Genera. Some Governor-General, against the N hte r r u r n ll s that he did not act with suf. was He had then said that he desired ficiel t energy. a b g ec o a u tbhe s e e brael i f t waoaf a the feeling l said that not to excite hatred between the races, bu t to act with justice not with revenge, and when they cams to bear his reasons for the proclamation, they would Id o ubtless find that he was still acting f rom th e same mo tives. The prop_ , r course would ha ve b een, not to sen d such a despatch as that , but a letter of advice to a ct in accordance wiih that policy. The concluding ob. serva tioesof the noble duke, which were wholly inaudible to the reporters, excited much amusement amongst those noble lords who were near enough to hear. The LORD CIIA.NCELLOR—We are very much indebted to the noble duke who has just addressed your I,rdships, for enlivening the debate with a little pleasan. try, but he must forgive me for saying that I think he has not added very much to our instruction. (Hear.) No one who bad come into this house and who had lis• toned to our debate with that attention which its very interesting character deserves would have supposed that my noble friend who has proposed these resolutions to your lordships had called upon you to decide upon the policy cf the proclamation and the propriety of the de• spatch ; and he would be astonished to find that the noble earl had submitted to your lordships a point of the very narrowest description, and bad called upon you merely to express your disapprobation of a premature publication of the despatch addressed to the Governo r. General. ov!rnor. General. (H ear , h ear .) I canno t help observing in the outset upon some of the peculiar wording of the reso u• tions of my noble friend.
