LATE WAR IN INDIA.—THANKS TO THE MARQUEsS OF HASTINGS, K. G. The Order upon which their Lordships were ' summoned being read, ' The .Earl Of , 1-IVetIPOOL rose, in pursuance •of his notice. He said he should now proceed to move the honour of their Lordships' thanks to ,he Marquess of Hastings, as Governor -General and Coniutander-in-Chief in India; and also to the se verbl Officers And Ole Army under his command, for their gallant and meritorious conduct in the late War in India. The subject to which such a mo tion would refer, was necessarily complicated and extensive in its 'tome; but the ample informa tion !hereon already before their Liirdships,would render it unnecessary for hint trouble the House, by entering into a variety of details upon the sub ject ; still some general view was necessary, in order to rest th e vote he was .about to propose. The date war in India originated, on the part of the British, purely in. motives of self-defence.— Every practicable measure and precaution was taken on our parts to avoid the occurrence of hos: tilities. Nhtwithstanding all our pacifications, the conduct of several of the Native Powers, but more especially of the Pindarees, was so treache rous, hostile, Hod aggressive,• as to force the itiab inio a state of defensive warfare. An in. vasion.of the British territoties, at ttvo points, i n 1517, actually took place; but in the con duct which, was adopted by the Marquess of Hastings, the greatest possible. care was taken to avoid giving offence either to Sciodiah or Hui kar, the tiro great ~Natire Powers, from whom the. most was to.be apprehended under the cir entliStnlKTS. -14 the course of these transactions, letters were received by the Noble Arlarquess, which there was reason to suppose afforded in formation of . the hostile designs of Seindiali and Holkar ; but these were sent to these Powers un opened, and every disposition was shown to over lor:k whatever might appear equivocal in their con duct. Of this disposition his Lordship cited some instances ; and the Government of. India, he ob served, had reason -to suppose that .a, very exten sive confederacy among the Native Powers was enteted.into against the British ; and to this the ,Vlahratt,a,States appeared to be more or lass par ties. In short, in the Oren view of things,, no thii!Oess than the subversion of the British Power in India seemed to be aimed at, and a blow was expected to be struck. Under these circumstances of danger.and embarrassntent, a force was col.: lecteti by the Governor-General. at certain central points, so as to have the whole in a great degree under his own direction and contronl.. -Early in the course Of those defensive operations a signal victory was achieved over .Holkar, and his co,tti= plete defeat soon after took.place by the Bengal force under Sir Thomas Hislop., :In the direction of Poonah, the Peishwn was atracked, and also the Rajah of Nagpoor ; both , operations were successful, and the result was,: that both Poonah andtNagnour soon came into the possession of the British forces. Under :all•these circumstances; the Noble Marquess at the head of the Government of India. showed his .willingness,tp overlrmik•• the hostile measures taken, the confluct of those powers'. I t wos found necessary to pursue stron g measures against the Vindarees, and accordingly they Were divested of about, two-thirds of their territories, and it W3S also deetned unessary to adopt further ;Ilea - sours ref detensive hostility against the Peishwa, with respect to which the Noble Earl stated some further operations. Upon the whole, be thought that their Lordships mitt inevitably see that the war originated, oir the part of the British Government, entirely on pri , tcip!es of self-defence ; and observed, that its polky (.vas 001 the territorial extension of a single square mile. The British were coostrdi,,ed to .., c t a t ai n st r'd powerful aggressive combination against them, which, if successful, might lead to the total de struction of the power laird possessions of this country in India. But, conducted as onr defen sive operations were, with_ talent, vigour, and effect, the result was equally advantageous and honourable to the British arms, and stabilitating the British power and importance in India. The measures of the Govet nor-General were founded in true wisdom and sound policy, and effectuated by our brave armies in a way that shed additional lustre and glory on the military character ot Great Britain ; and in bringing about these results, much was undoubtedly due to the spirit, discipline, and exertions of the native troops in hobs, and to the 4kgree of perfection to which they were brought by the excdlent system which was adop ed for their organization and discipline, by the British Commanders in India. After expatiating upon these points with much force and eloquence, in the course of his peroration, the Noble Earl formally moved the Thanks of the House to Ge neral Francis Marquess of Hastings, K. G. and K. G. C. 8., Governor-General and Coromandel-- in-Chief in India, for his very able, judicious, and meritorious conduct of the late War in India, &c. The Marquess of LANSDOWNK- rose.—He ex pressed his cordial concurrence with every thing that tell front the Noble Earl, as , . illustrative ot the great military talents and gallantly of the Noble :Subject of the Motion, particularly 86 -dis played iu r:is successful conduct of the late war in India ; but would, at the saute ti me , abstain from offering any opinion as to any consideration of policy whatever as referable to the system of the Kti ish Government with respect to India. He admitteC. t be misconduct of those native powers which induced the necessity of military opera tions on our pint. But he telt himself called upon (m this occasion to observe, that upon th e face of the papers a transactiOn appeared on which some explicit informal ion was necessary, , nd which would lead him to offer some amendment, or qoalifica lion, to one of the motions which the Noble L. , rd was about to propose ; he meant that which led to the unfortunate execution of the Killedar of the fort of Talneir. This Officer, who had held out that fortress for a long time, was constrained to surrender it to the British, and Itims(lf also a prisoner of war ; but sonic of the Officers who remained in the fort, actuated by tteachery uo doubt, withheld an actual surrender, and (the Killedar being at the time in the custody of the British Officers) put several of the British troops to death ; however, the fort was again attacked ; those who held it overpowered, and put to the a word ; and very slimily after the ill-fated Kil ledar was subjected to a military exec u ti on . This appeared to have taken place under the immediate ordet s of Sir Thomas Hislop, and even appeared. in the statetneut of that Officer. This the Noble Marquess strictly denied. As the Case thell ap peared to be highly mijoistifiible, and rdiecting no credit on the Hi itism at MS or charm: ter, the of fence committed by the K Iledar was one which appeared to•be rat her co4nizable by his own So• vereign, or one WhiCh at least should have been submitted to a Court of Alilitary Inquiry. The Case was one which merited a serious inquiry on the part of the British Government—the honour and justice of the comory was itnplicited in it. On these grounds, he felt it his duty to propose some tuldition or amendment to the Vote of thanks to the Noble Marquess, which would go to except their Lordships' approbation to that very questionable part of his conduct. • Lord HOLLAND expressed his full coincid , •nce in what had'fallen fl'oins his Noble Friend and Re lation, with respect to the applause justly due to the Noble Marquess, not only from his con duct iu the important case in question, but of his military character its te►►eral, though be shoiild not attempt on any.expatiatidor On this -Lieatl,as he trusted he was, not such a coxcomb as the young man W..ho is recorded to have lee:toted his audience on the art of war, in the presence of Hannibal—, (Looking' towards the seat of the Doke of Wel . lington.):---The Noble Lord then panegyrized the character, private :mil personal, of tbe'Governor-, General of India, and expres - sed his'confidence in the sentiments entertained by his Noble Friend respecting the fate of the unhappy Killedar, re garding which, Ite though► the House was placed in rather a delicate sit oation with respect to the intended rot e,—(l-le meant pril.cipally io the pre sent defective state of information)—es referable to the character of an-Officer high in comma►►d on the one hand, and that of the House, .with spect to its sense of honour •and justice, On the other. He trusted such explanation could be: given as might enable the House to come to a consistent or unobjectipoahle vote. • The Ear; of LIVERPOOL seemed, of opinion that. no :proceeding ought to take place, tending to reflect upon the:character and conduct of an mi. , rent and. F . meritorious Officer,- before their Lord ahips.were sufficiently aware of the real nature of the transaction, which, in the.setual state of that part of the information, could not be the ease: He admitted that, upon the face of.the dispatches upon the table, the merits,of dthe transactiou did( . not appear sufficiently clear. Instructions should be given with respect to a .Further inguity itito the subject. Under these eircontstiiiices, how ever, he thought it would he pretrtuide to afford att tioqu,:litied vote O 1 applobaiwo as to (1 1 ' e ge. neral military conduct of Sir Thomas Hislop ; though some vote, abstractedly, and exressHve of the sense of the I - louse as to the pallicolar (tans action, in its then view of it, may be proposed, an d to whi c h he should oot object. 'rite Dake of WELLING'roN expressed his sense of the great merit of the Officers in tpiestioo. He . thought that there could be do doubt as 10 the of the plan laid skeet); _or a, ii, the manner of its execution by .the ()dicers cone-trued. He less particularly happy that the liaise ‘l' s ilifis afforded au opportuoi'y txpiessing i s . p ro tuition of the conduct of the troops in char quitter. Ir was much the fashion of late greasily, to praise the services of the troops in other quarters, 12ot iic none whatever was it inure merited than by those in the country iu question. In the. whole of the late transactions in which those men Were en gaged, thtir conduct was eminently meritorious. With respect to General Hislop, he. a lway s un derstood him to be an Officer of tile highest !elm. tattoo, not only with regard to_ lais.7.strvi.kvs in - Juia, hut in oth e r pl a c es where Le ser ved: and the Noble Commander whom he now served under, expressed himself with no small partiality in (avow' of his condnet, which eft-.ally showed his sense of it. In regale{ to the affair olTdneir, it may. perhaps, on inquiry, he found fully justim flable. In the full report of the Governor-Gene. ral, that Officer expressed himself fully sati,fied, and even spoke with wopialified approbation of the conduct of General Ilislop. Under these cir- ClitliStatiCeS, and when they considered the degree Of estimation in which the Commauder-in-Chief appeared to hold him, he thought the Muse should pause ere it came to a vote decisively, re fleetin4 on the 011ieer in question ; and also the situation in which such a proceeding must naturally place the Commander-in-Chief in India, and t 'at, if military inquiry was to take place. On his part, it should he by a Court MArti• I. Upon the whole, his Grace seemed to think with his Noble Fnend, that it % , ould he best to pass the Vote of Approba.. lion in the ir•tial way, leaving Ilic conduct of Gcn. Hislop, as to the transaction alluded to, a matter of distinct or subsequent consideration. The Alatquess ot LANsnoWNE explained, mid seemed to express himself satisfied as to the pi in. ciple I nd down by the Noble Duke ; dud was in• dined to introduce his proposition on the subjeCt as a distinct consideration. Lord EIOLLAND and the Earl of LIVERPOOL also spoke in explanation. The. question %yds then pus, when the Thanks to the Marqn*ess of liastingsos well as to the Snb ordinmte Officers and the Army under his cum mat)4l, were all voted, nern. dis. On the motion (Atilt. Maly less of LANSDOWNE, their Lord Shin- then resolved, that the House ex pressed no opinion wi.h respt et to the Execution of the ltidletlar of Taipei). On the particulars of which transaction the house was -not in posses sion of satisfactory information) in the Vote of Thanks given to Lientettaot-Getteral Sir Ti,ontas lit lop.--Adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. A `Alessage was sent to the Ho u s e of P eers to state that Mr. A BARING iNIr. T. SMITH hAti obtained leave of the Commons to attend and give evidence before their Lot dshilfp.. C'►:\L Mr. LITTLETON presented a petirion from the Manufacturers of the Town of Wolverhampt on , aeainet the Fiqualizmtion of the Duty upon Coals. When it was cousidt red to what a . proportion coals entered into kit our manufactures, the im portance of the object of the pet i.ioners would be maoifest. Were a fax of , one shilling per ton to he laid upon coals, it would create a difference of 13s fid. a ton On iron. The Hon. Member for Bristol had, on a former occasion, thrown doubt on the existence of extreme poverty and distress among the: manufacturers. It was-true that the smelters of iron were in a state of pros petit y, but the maoufactnring lahourers them selves suffered the greatest distress. They wOrked twe!ce and fourteen hours a-day fur the trifling wages of nine 6billings a- neck, a st u n totally in ath qu,te to the support of then' families. Mr. PROTHEROE was understood to contend that the distress which the Hon. Member de scribed, arose in a great measure from the high price of coals, in consequence of the exportation of that article. S;r E. COFFIN made a few inaudible observa . ti(nis. • Sir R. WusoN.conceived, that as the duty now levied was (or the general lithely, it ought to be extended to every 1).-irt of the community, Sit .3 GRAHAM was undeistood to say, that he should not consent to - an equalization of the coal duties., Mr.'LITTLETON referred to what had, taken Mace in 1783, vs-ben - Mr. Pitt bad proposed-a ge neral tax upon coals. A few days after, he had given np his own plan, on the ground that if ma ' mitacturers were ttiestle liable to the tax, so many Modifications-and tegolatious would be necessary, as to render the whole impracticable. The dis tress iu the coal districts bud ri:•en much higher than !second to b 'generally kuown. In ISIG, almost the workers of coal mines in the coun ty which be had the'honour to , represeut, though persons of the - greatest respectability, .bad been reduced to the.necessity of throwing Weir leases upon the :hands of :their landlords, yibb had been obliged to carry: On- the works at Wconsiderable loss. The nunthei of poor thus cast.- tipowpa xisiher:had been indetise, and it was only by the munificence of a N ix* el-'cer, resoling in that part of the; cotin try .( [JOE& Dudley), t bat emp'( , yinent licid been proured for tho•e indivit!uAls ; and that county had exhibited an example ofr•order loyalty displayed by on other. liostAir It iLsozi cnmplained that the pour
