It is with a view to these gr tions—the future amount of force required, . the future means of carrying on the war—that I earnestly desire and entreat your lordships to consider upon what principle we shalt act towards the people of India.

(Loud cheers.) The Duke of ARGYLL said it had been argued by many that the question before them was a personal question, and that because Lord Canning was a mem ber of the aristocracy, counting many friends on both sides of their lordships' house, a deep feeling of excitement had been raised with reference to the present di,cussion. Now, he could not agree that the interest which they felt in the discussion arose from any such cause. No doubt there was a time when Lord Canning did require support in their lordships' house and through the country—for Lord Canning's great capacity was not as yet fully appreciated—but that time was passed, and he must cangratu'ate the early friends of Lord Canning upon the complete triumph that he had gained. (Cheers ) Let it be remembered that Lord Canning was the first to raise his voice in favour of justice and mercy. (Cheers.) He would venture to predict that in future times the adrninistiation of Lord Canning in India would be remembered when the administration of England by the noble earl opposite would be utterly forgotten. He had heard it said that this was a mere party move. Now, he was nos one of those who de precated party organization ; on the contrary, he heartily wished that at the moment they had in both houses such a complete organisation as would ensure to them what they otherwise never would have, namely, an honest Government and an effective Opposition. (Hear, hear.) Bat the real truth was, that on both sides of that house a conservative feeling prevailed• —a feeling favourable to all governments. Nevertheless, their feelings bad been roused on that occasion because they believed that the Government of India had been materially weakened, not merely by the publication of but by the sending of the despatch. Now, the Govern ment had pleaty of time to consider whether or not the despatch should have been published—they had at least the whole of Fri lay, upon which, by-the-bye a council was held by reflection—and if they were of opinion that its publication would be dangerous they ought even at the eleventh hour to have gone down to the house and declared that out of consideration far the public service they were unable to keep the promise which had been prematurely made. And the fact was there were pas sages iu the despatch quite as obnoxious as those which had been suppressed. But no, the Government wanted to make political capitel oat of tee despatch, teed therefore it was made public. Every one of the Cabinet were reepon bible for the publication of the despatch; and it was im• passible to read it without seeing it was intended for pu licaeion. Besides . nothing could be more accurate than the statements in the despatch, especially that con temned in the paragraph relating to the annexation of Oude. Now, did the noble lord mean to reopen th whole question of the annexation of Oa.le ; for if he did, the Cabinet of Lord Palinereton, and trot merely Lord Dal fameeie, must beheld responsible for that measure. He could not held feeling that in this affair the Government had committed as uieay mistakes as it was possible for them to commit ; and that, for the sake of calling dis credit upon Lord Dalhousie, they had indirectly cast censure upon the Crown. (Cheers.) The Earl of CARNARVON believed that his noble friend the late Preii lent of the India Beard was perfectly a• le to justify the language of his despatch against the taunts of the noble duke. There might be a despatch of such a character, that it was better not to publish it ; but under a parliamentary constitution it was better to have the freest publicity. If it was publicity in India that was objeced to, then it was in the power of the Governor-General himself to suppress it ; but if it was the publication in Ergland that was meant, then the at tack ought not to come from those who had always been 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 the very nature of the proclamaVon 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 one indisidual, and as he had admitted his responsi bility, it would be ungenerous for the house to pees the resolution. Thera had been a second copy of the pro clamation, 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- Geseral, 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 bad been no exceptions specified, a certain nurober would have felt that it could not apply to therm brag 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 oaly the enjoyment of what they already had, and oily six per soos were to be thus rewarded. With those exceptions, the whole population was included in one sweeping clause cf ceufiscation. This would drive many to dis traction. Than 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 awa.re of taie. This proclamation excluded the hope of recoeciliation, as it would throw on them the onus pro beudi of their innocence. If it was to be acted on wholly, it would be monstrous ; if, in part, where was the justice of taking one man's land away from him, and sparing at all ; and if it was not to be acted upon, it was impolitic to make threats which were not intended to be enforced. What had occurred was not the fault of Government or any member of the Government, but of the right kon. gentleman who received a private letter, and did not communicate to the Government a message referring to a public matter. (Hear, hear.) However, he did not regret it ; he 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 aemneel the policy of confiscation, and pointed to the evils that had arisen from it in Ireland. He called on them to support the policy 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 hal slipped out by accident—ques tions were suddenly a , ked, and must be answered at once. Now, it came out that it was not an accident at all—(bear, 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 no .w say they were nut responsible for it ? (Hear.) After throwing overboard the India Bill they had thrown over the India Minister, thus showing 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 Oude clearly, decisively, and in the strongest 11Ingetage. The noble earl said that Oude bed been 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 supported from without, and from within by our defending him from external attack, and our resident assisting hind in the government of the king dom. We had all along been remonstrating with him for not maintaining good government, and when our re inoroitrances were not heeded we annexed tee territory. That annexation was confirmed by the British h G e o r v e ebrenl rebels of But the noble lord sympathised ! fore. If this was done to secure the peen of 1 of Oude, and raid their resistance was lwegieithim\tediwa,arit h d b een no no confiscation in n was a bad way. The noble lord said that there a d; a since the Norm an con q ues t. He thus held up when he said, y lords, emulation, on N la c t r i Normans n s ruled over the Saxons to reprobation what on a former ,i‘l occa sion be held up to you hold India as th in England."

Tne proper course would have been, not to send such a despatch as that, but a letter of advice to act in accordance with that policy. The concluding ob servationsof the nc,hle duke, which were wholly inaudible to the reporters, excited much amusement amongst those noble lords who were near enough to hear. [Pluot 4D. STAMPED 5 1 ) .] have explanations. I ask, why have we not expla nations now ? (Cheers.) Explanations should pre cede or at least accompany a measure of this great sin- parlance, and not follow it—if they do follow it at alt— at the interval of a mont. (Hear.) But what time had Lord Canning to communicate to the Government here respecting the policy he intended to adopt t. Lord Canning directed the Commander-in-Chief, when he re tired from Lucknow, to leave a garrison in the Alum bagh. He then intended, as soon as he could get to nether a sufficient force, to attack and take Lucknow. Upon that measure he determined entirely on political, not on military grounds. He took upon himself the whale responsibility of that measure. A general, acting on military grounds, would first have obtained full pos- Eessien of his own country, would ihave cleared Ruhil cund, have pacified Bsreilly, have restored tranquillity 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 ferns.: for the attack on Lucknow. He knew he would have Lucknow. The movement on that place commenced on the 4th of March. Sir Colin Campbell had arrived at Cawnpore, and bad completed his victory there three months before that time. Why did not Lord Canning communicate meanwhile to his friends here ? Is is possible that be should not have thought over what he should do when he got possession of the place ? I say he ought to have communicated his then prevailing intentions, and have sought the opinion of the Government so as to act with their approval cn such an important measure. (Hear.) But - since then a month has elapsed. Why have we not now an explana tion ? My lords, there is no explanation. There are some things which cannot be explained. Confiscation is one of these. It is incapable of explanation. It stands 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 gul-,y. (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 in India now 21 regiments rf disarmed Sepoye. We have three regitneut of Native Cavalry and three of Irregular Cavalry disarmed—alto gether 27 regiments. The position of these disarmed regiments has justly been a sulaject of the deepest anxiety to the Government of India. It is necessary to keep British troops to wa'cli 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. Of these troops one-half are in Oade. They cannot be en gaged in the rebellion. They have beea almost math 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 trey are now under a panis, hardly knowing what they are to do. But imagine the position in which they will be placed if they read the proclamation ! What must be their feelings whets, while disarmed and incapable of committing any act against the Government, however indgeant 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, ar.d that they have not a home to go to ? (Cheers.) More than this,—the Mahornmedan mosques, the Hindoo temples, all arts supported by the lend of the country. Tile whole of this, however, is confiscated ; the whole means of maintaMing both re iigiens are unwisely, rashly taken away. All the pro vision for objects of charity, fur orphans and widows, ' is swept away. Nut ono singly exception is made, save of ly in the case of the six individuals u:eetioned in the preclamatior. Such things are enough to tend den every man thretaehout the country, and there' , re I thought to myself—" I will write, and at the earliest passible moment after that proelamation is pal). fished I sill send my letter as an andidote, that the public( may know they arc to be ruled with justice and clemency." (1,,m.1 My lords, consider now what is our actual position. We have talon Luck now. The hot weather is coming on. When we beard last it was the most severe, the moat dangerous period of the year. Are we occupying Oude ? We have not a man to occupy any part of the c unary. The proclama tion is a nullity, except as ta the effect produced on the minds of the people. The Commander-in-Chief has now marched into B_ircilly with the half of his troops. One bri-4a-lo has gone to Azitnghur to relieve the detachment under Colonel Milman which is shut up there. The Goorkas are gone home. Another brigade remains in Lucknow. B-Aween the right and left of our position there is an interval of 400 miles ; and the centre of that position, Undo, in which we hold only this larger gar rison—the brigade at Luckno a —has , as I firmly be lieve, beets coeverted into a sea of tire by Lord Cannirg's proclamation. (Cheer:.) Surely it was necessary for we, whose duty it was, to do what I ceuld to preserve the tranquillity of India, to repair, if possihle, these great evils, and to send out a message r f pence and mercy to the people of that country. (Reeewed cheers.) lam told that iu so doing I sun weakening the autho rity of the Governor-General. My lords, my despatch weakens his authority for evil ; it strengthens him greatly for all purposes of good. (Hear, hear.) I tru-t when ho receives it he will think it better to part with evil counsels. Ido not believe that Lord Canning him self was the author of this proclamation. his contrary to what I have heard of his conduct and ef his feelings. (Hear, hear.) I beli--ve it to have proceeded from other sources. I believe that he has placed himself in the bands of men who have learned nothing and have for ' gotten nothing—who imagine that after this dreadful c "avulsion they can re-establish as it stood civilian au thority in ludia. This is a great error, and it is of the uttnest importauce 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 head of affairs here, and also the principles which it is abso• lute , y necessary he should adopt. (Hear, hear.) But I am told that this letter will tend to tncourage resistance on the part of the people now in arms against us. lay lords, I should meet such a charge with an indignation I could hardly express did 1 not feel its utter absurdity. (Hear, hear.) Why, I was the first in this house who warned your lord-hips that the dancer was coming, who advise I you to prepare fur it, to set the country in arms, and to be ready to engage ir, a groat and a perdous war. (Hear, hear.) Was i', 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 encourage 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 will rend( r n cessary. They were men vho had h=en w.th He rope round their reeks. My object was to remove that rope. (Cheers.) They were men who had been fighting without hope. I wished to give them hope. The proclamation left them without homes—without land which would citable 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. Was 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 these is no hoists 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 bands this evening an unpublished leaf front 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 mind with which he regarded subjects of this nattire,— " I am for the principle of amnesty, as referable to all inferior agents ; I have recommended it strongly to the I'eshwah's 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 ani the ceded districts, and that upon which we have made our way to this place. Eternal enmity against every patty 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 Scinde. The result has been the tranquillity of that coun try. (Cheers.) I know, my lords, from history and from observation, that there is no part cf the world in which —perhaps from their rarity—juotics 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 t 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. (Cheers.) 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. 'We have—l will not . say run gi cat risk—but we have gone to the utmost pos sible extent iu despatching to India a military force. I have said, not in this house only, but I also took _ Bini. occa sion to say in a paper which I published, that it i lengthened possible for us with cur present military institutionsien to furnish a sufficient force for carrying dangerous war in India, but there are, on y a ultimatelynl dangers which have always been found of a financial tilt fatal to a State.

HOUSE OF LORDS. --(YESTERDAY. ) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. There was a very full attendance this evening. The space in front of the throne and bar was immensely crowded, and the galleries around the house were filled with ladies. The Earl of Ellenborongh did not occupy a seat on the Government bench. His lordship sat on the front bench below the gangway, in the seat usually occupied by Lord Aberdeen during the late administration. PRIVATE BUSINESS. On the motioa of Lord REDESDALE, the Manches ter Improvement, Manchester Assize Court House, and Tay Fisheries Bills were read a second time. The Ely Valley Railway and the Selkirk and Gala shiels Railway Bills were read a third time and passed. THE STAMP DUTIES ON DRIFTS. This bill was read a first time. OATHS BILL. Their lordships appointed Tuesday next, at half-past four, for the conferences with the Commons in reference to this bill. THE VOTE OF CENSURE. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY rose to move the following resolutions : " I. 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. ternor-General of India, disapproving a proclamation which the Governor-General had informed the Court he intended to home after the fall of Lucknow. "2. That it is known only from intelligence that has reached this country be 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 grounds upon which Lord Canning has acted, and his answer 'to the objections made to his intended 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 oaths 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 bad 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 Lad 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. Ile 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 hag written the Government had written (hear, hear)— what -he had published they had published=—(hear, hear) — and he did not think that any separate respont,i bility existed, but that it extended to the whole of the Administration. The step taken by the noble earl (Bllenborough) in retiring from office rendered it absolutely necessary that sormethirl, - ; 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. Ile con sidered that the question under discussion, which at one time bad been only politically important had now become both politically and cmstitutionally 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 climes and miscle• 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 I (Hear, hear.) They could not govern India now as formerly, for a great change had taken place ia the native mind, which was alive to it quiry and draw its own conclusions. By this despatch the Government bad taken 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 bo a' down to it. The noble lord then moved the resolutions. The Eal of ELLENBOROUGII—I so la`ely re ceived your lordships' indulgence whe❑ I stated shortly and clearly the circumstances under which I resigned my office, that I think I should 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 again,t, 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 he went on. I shall not follow the noble earl through those detail 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 aro as ac::T sible 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 Oriole. This letter states the ground o❑ which I (and I believe all the world came to this conclusion) was of opinion that the war in Oudo bears more the character of legitimate war than of rebel lion. (Rear, hear.) But I must be allowed to read two passages in 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.) Government cannot long be maintaned by any force in a country where the whole people is rendered hos tile by a sense of wrong, and, if 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. Tnose are the principles upon which I say the Govern ment of India should be c r , ducted. (Cheers.) Aral I feel, indeed, that the question before your lordships to night is one far more important than anything affecting merely the existence of an Administration. It is practi cal'y this—Shall the Government of India he 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. (Cheers.) I was in hope s that these represenaaeions would prevail. But this, at any rate, 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 promulg,aton of principles of such excessive seve rity, 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. Wh)! Because the confiscation took the whole of it away. Now, there is the greatest possible difference between confiscation in Lord Daihousie's proclamation and con fiscation in that of Lord Canning. ITne former was pro spective ; it was denounced against those who should hereafter become rebels. (Hear.) The confication 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 your lordships, in the language of India its strength is greatly increased by any possible translation. But, my lords, consider what is confiscation. It has not 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 proclamaticn. Whatever have been the charges of dy nasty, the storm of war sal swept over village conicau niCe,, and the propert3 of is ividuals from the lowest to the highest. The wise conquerors of India have changed little but the rule. They have left everything wanding. And on that ace unt it is that they were enabled t) tablish a permanent Government. :(`Jheers.) Tee not , h , earl has thought fit to allude to what I did in Scinde. 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 Britb-h 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 Scinde and of the permanent tranquillity of that country. There ha-i nut been one hand raised a gainst the Briti sh Go vernment since the battle which d es troyed the last the Aineera who were contending for the sovereignty. In two months that country was subdued, and at the present moment thero is not a pr,rtion of the Britida em pire in India which is mor e faitbfui thou Snide.. ? It is faithful because property has been respected. (CheerE. , .) My lords, we aro told that we ought to form no opinion with respect to this proclamation until we trb A3'i`Ottion SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.
