EVENING SUN. therefore, liberally considered, does not require his destruction. On the other hand, it cannot be pretended that our own safety requires it ; and on no other iround can more policy be allowed to dictate so severe a sentence. " The consideration, that his Highness owes his eleva tion to British favour, should, in some views at least, prevent us from proceeding against him too vigorously. However we may have erred in setting up this dependent power, it is not desirable, without absolute necessity, to expose that error to others. Consistency requires that we should adhere, if possible, to an arrangement adopted on much consideration ; and if we court the praise of generosity, the very fact that his Highness is the crea ture of our breath, and the spoiled child of our patron age, should plead, to some extent, in his favour. " Farther, it is an argument on the same side of the question, that the Raja has governed the dominions which he received from us tolerably well. The history of the British connection with India records the names of many chiefs and princes whom we began with ad vancing to honour, or at least supporting with our pro tection, and ended with deposing, destroying, depriving of a great part of their territories, or reducing to politi oal annihilation. In almost all these cases, however, the parties so treated were charged, and justly charged, with gross misgovernment ; and however severely it might be felt by themselves, it was an undoubted boon to the great body of their subjects. The administration of the Raja of Sattara, on the other hand, although, like every thing else about him, it has been overpraised, has, to say the least, been respectable, and in some views, even me ritorious. " I do not mean that he is not occasionally guilty of oppression, or that he dispenses justice with impar tiality, for he is a native and a .llthratta ; but he at tends to business. His revenue management is efficient. If he quarrels with all his Jagheerdars, yet the lower classes of his subjects are content ; and, at Sattara, where his revenues are spent freely, he is popular. I should be sorry, therefore, if we destroyed one of the very few among our native allies whose administration 'our alliance has not rendered a curse to his people. " I am aware that it is the probable course, or, if I may so speak, the natural history, of such an empire as ours in India, that it gradually absorbs all the petty and dependent States attached to it ; nor is there any reason to suppose that Sattara will not at length share tho com mon late. But Ido not conceive that such a growth of Jour rule and dominions is to be regarded as an unmixed good, or that means should be used to accelerate its rate of advancement. On the contrary, I deem it our sacred duty to keep down the expansion within the slowly pro mressive boundary prescribed by actual and irresistible necessity. We ought not to snatch with eagerness at occasions of aggrandizing our power or extending our territory, still less to seek or create them, as we shall almost unavoidably be hurried into acts of injustice and cruelty." Now, under these circumstances, he could not admit that any injustice had been done him. He thought the motion was called for, and he hoped the meeting would concur in the amendment that had been proposed by the Deputy Chairman.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. INIoNToomEnT MARTIN could see nothing in their Act of Incorporation which was contradictory of the motion, which was merely a recommendation to the Court of Directors to take the case of the Raja into their con sideration. Having disposed of that point, and shown that they were not infringing on the power of the Mree tore, he thought they must admit further, that they had in some respects authorized the present investigation by having submitted, on two several occasions, to the Court, all the documents which would enable them to come to a full and fair investigation of the case.—(Hear, hear.) It was much to be regretted that in February, 1840, when intelligence of the deposition of the Raja reached that country, and where a special Court had been called to take the case into its consideration, that it hail not taken the case into its consideration previously to any -final decision of the question. In the course of the pre sent debate, which was unexampled for its duration, he was gratified at the highly honourable and manly senti ments that had been displayed by many of the speakers. He w& therefore the more reluctant to allude to tile personality that had been introduced into the debate. The question was one, not of persons, but of principles. —(Cheers.) He had looked into the case, not with re ference to the Raja of Sattara or the persons connected with the Government, but as it regarded the great and immutable principles of justice—(Cheers)—and in coming to the conclusion he had, ho had done so with the strongest feelings of respect and esteem for many of those who were connected with the question, and solely with reference to the great and important interests involved In it. In February it was said that that Court was not in a - position to entertain the question. It was admitted that the question was a grave and an important one, and re quired much thought and deliberation before coming to a final decision ; and the more he saw of it the more he regretted it had ever been brought under the considera tion of the present tribunal.—(Hear, hear.) But having been brought before them, they were bound, as stewards and trustee of good government in India, to entertain end discuss it with impartiality and calinneee. He wes proud, there;:bee, Dto hear the manly aed honourable sen timents of their Deputy-Chainean, who leel etated that full and free and impartial discueeien was important to the government of India.—(llenr, hear.) What were f l ee facts of the case ? Not that the Raja had been raised from a prison to a throne by the British Govern- Treent, and that he had forfeited its good opinion, as had been stated by one Hon. Gentleman.—(Hear, hear.) The • Deputy-Chairman had characterized the war against Bajee llow as a just one, and he believed justly. But when he said they had raised him to the throne from motives of pure generosity, he begged to deny the state ment, and he would refer them to the third volume 'Of ,fr. Grant Duff's " History of the Mahrattas," page 439, in which the object of the elevation of the Baja was fully detailed. He contended that they had no right to state that they had raised him to the throne from pure gene rosity, unmixed with any considerations of personal ad vantage. If there was any doubt in that part he would refer to the evidence of Mr. Mountstewart Elphinstone. —(Hear, hear.) In 1822 the Raja had conducted himself so well that he was considered able to stand alone, and was invested with all the functions of sovereignty. He could not but allude here to the free and honourable feeling evinced by- the British Government in supporting that Prince, and 'ne regretted it had not been met in a corresponding api . .rit by the Bombay Government. After he had been seven years exercising that sovereignty they had recorded their deliberate opinion of the manner in which lie had conducted himself. That opinion would be foulid recorded in the despatch dated 19th August, 1829. He did not think the Court of Directors would have deliberately put: their names to any document without having been cc nvinced of its truth. Sir It Grant in a similar mat tiler, although with some degree of cau tion, stated his good opinion of the Raja; and, although his 'testimony . was guardedly given, it was very striking and important. He regretted that Sir Robert Grant had so, far forgotten the dignity of a Governor as to descend to the pettifogging of an attor ney. Why it No uld be almost better for them to have a strong-minded alai wicked Governor than a weak and vacillating man, who did not know his own mind, although his inter itions might be the most upright and honourable.—(Hear.) What did Sir James Carnac, a man who went to India with the best and purest inten tions, say of the Raja ? " Without intending to offer any apology for the con uct of the Raja, i t is but just to observe, that he appears o have been reg :arded by that numerous class of men who are continua ply watching for an opportunity to en rich themselves :at the expense of others, as one whose position offered a - very favourable opportunity for their experiments. Ele has manifested great weakness and no inconsiderable portion of ingratitude ; but it would not accord with the magnanimity of the B r iti s h Govern ment to visit thos e offences on a Prince, situated as is the Raja, with tcee great severity. He is altogether at, our mercy, and the execution of an order to dispossess him of his tern tories would scarcely be a more diffie as at work than to n such an order. He is the repres- 4 , nta _ tive of a house er.sdnguished in the history of an d assoc i a ted in thee minds of the people with muc' A of in terest. We lime° nothing to fear, and we can afford to act with geners ISity. " Under thee circumstances, I must admit that, with eav es as f or t h e th e highest resTeet as well for the ter arguments of those who have taken decidedly prefer the milder course of a different view, I proceedi ng, of the three which I have pointed out as before us . " I propose, therefore, either ;net the Resident be in structed to assure the Raja, of the desire of the British Government to xnairitAin the relations of friendship with him, to point out the necessity of restraining his ser vants from entariu g into any measures which may sub ject his Highness to the imputation of disregarding his engagements, a di from. retaining in his Highness's name, or otherwise, i./se political services of any persons beyond the limits of 'his dominion ; or that I should, in person, communicat e w ith the R a j a ; w hi c h latter, I am inclined to think, r eould be a preferable course." Now G enteral Robinson, than whom no man under stood thee question better, said the whole of this matter orlginaxed in the jagheers, and he hoped that would be a leesssin to the succeeding Government in India. He t.reatael with ridicule the paltry attempt to charge the Raj& with attempting to seduce th e ?00,000 British troops s)f India by his communication with two Sepoys.--,-(Hear, 'lean) He regeetted that Sir Robert:Grant had allowed limself to be led away by all the absurd rumours that 'had been communicated to him. It was said that the Goa conspiracy had been clearly established, but Don Manoel De Castro, a high-minded and honour able Nobleman, had extreessed his readiness to go to England and testify eci the entire innocence of the Raja.—(Loud cries of " Hear.") Now, was it to be said that Don Manoel lead asserted what was false, and that the most absurd zaed improbable stories must be credited ? lie remembered a case in Bengal of a forgery on the Bengal Bank, and so well had all the names of the Di rectors of tl - At Bank been forged, that after an investi gation, w i eich lasted several days, and in which the Govertv.nent lent also their assistance or its power, and notw'ahstanding all the exertions of the Bank, it was in":possible to determine which names had been forged 'MCI which had not; and yet here the Government of Bombay took upon itself to declare that the paper im puted to Don Manoel was genuine because it was very much like his signature. He would refer the Court to 138th paragraph of Sir Robert Grant's Minute of , the sth of May, p. 148 : " With regard to the letters purporting to have been addressed by the Raja to Don Manoel, it is proved in evidence that these were not invariably submitted for his Highness's approval, but that Nago prepared su:h drafts as ho thought proper, sealed them, and delivered them as proceeding from his master. There was not a single instance proved of any letter having actually been written at Sattara with the cocenizance of the Raja, and we are left to conjecture what was the nature of the powers delegated to 'Nago ; were it not, therefore, for the abundant evidence obtained of the connection which exi s t d between the Baja and Nago, and for the fact, Mane' - alluding that the Raja received letters from Jut: .oprocetoletterrs which the latter had received, purporting name ( e ) t r i from the Baja, I should say the t gaga with Don Manoel would be doubtful, and that we might infer that the letters written in his name might not have been authorised on his part. Would the most paltry Court in this kingdom have re ceived suca testimony ? The case was utterly unten able. How could the Raja be found guilty on such evi dence ? What had the Commission, who sat to inves tigate the charges, and of which General Lodwick had been a member, reported as to the witnesses ? Why, it had reported that the first witness examined was a cheat and a thief.—(Hear.) The Commission declared that he had pre varicated throughout his evidence, and had con cluded by declaring himself • the sole author of the plot—that all that he had declared respecting the native officers was false, and that all that he had stated respect ing the Raja, and all that he had stated respecting the Dewan was also false.—(Hear, hear.) It also appeared that the other witnesses were perjured. Would the Hon. Court sanction such proceedings ? He had a firm belief in the high-mindeiness and purity of the motives actuating the Court of Directors—(" Oh, oh") — and he hoped they would not do so.—(Hear, hear.) Another of these witnesses was Ballajee Punt. He be gan by selling his master. He began his career of ini quity by betraying the Peishwa. Why, they knew that Ballajee Punt had some time before falsely accused his master of treason, and he had becn plotttng treason against him ever since that time.—(Hear, hear.) He would not detain them further on that point. He could not but repeat that the Bengal Government had taken such a step totally in opposition to the wishes of the General Government. That was proved by the minutes of the Governor-General. The General Government plainly told the Bombay Government, it was their duty to put a stop to these proceedings. This was proved by the letter of Sir W. M‘Naughten, and while Sir W. APNaughten remained with Lord Auckland the Govern ment seemed to maintain that opinion, but when Sir W. M‘Naughten left for Affghanistan then a change took place in the opinions of the General Government. The Court of Directors also concurred in the opinion that a stop ought to be put to these proceedings against the Raja of Sattara. This appeared from the letter dated June 13, No. 31, p. 58 : "In a letter dated 6th January (No. 1) 1838, the Go vernor-General informs us, that he has witnessed with considerable pain the protracted and extended investi gations into which the Government of Bombay has thought it necessary to enter, in connection with the original charges against the Raja of Sattara, and that he has required that the proceedings be terminated, and brought under the review of the Supreme Government at the earliest possible period.' "It is our particular desire to receive, as soon as pos sible, your review of these proceedings ; and, in the confidence that it will be transmitted without any avoid able delay, , we shall suspend our own review of the case till we are in possession of yours. At the same time, we have no hesitation in giving it as our decided opinion, that it would be not only a waste of time, but seriously detrimental to the character of our Government, to carry on any further inquiry in the matter.

This was fur ther confirmed by the letter, of 22d Jan., 1839, p. 59 : " As Sir James Carnac, the Governor of Bombay, has been in communication with us on the subject of your proceedings regarding the Raja of Sattara, we are par ticularly desirous that you should suspend any final deci sion on the case until you have had an opportunity of taking into your consideration such observations and suggestions as may be made to you by Sir James Car nac on a review of those proceedings. "In the meantime, it may be as well for us to state to you, that we see no reason to dissent from the opinion expressed by the Court of Directors in their letter of the 13th June (No. 39), 1838. "A copy of this letter will be communicated to the Governor in Council at Bombay, with a request that he will suspend the transmission of any decision to the Raja of Sattara until you shall have , had an opportunity of issuing such further direction as you may think proper, in reference to this despatch.

No fresh evidence had been given. They were acquainted with nothing now with which they had not been acquainted then, and he should like to know the reason of such inconsistency. It was due to' the Proprietors and the public that they should be made acquainted with the grounds of this change of opinion. The despatch to Sir James Carnac did not give any reason for this change of opinion. —(Hear, hear.) It merely negatived their former deliberate and re corded opinion. —(Hear, hear.) It was a duty they owed to themselves, that a statement should be made to the Court of the reasons which had induced the Court of Directors to alter their opinions in this manner.—(Hear.) The Hon. Baronet had said that the Government of India were on their trial, so, if he thought so, he was right to go on, but he (Mr. Montgomery Martin) did not say so. The Government of Bombay were on their trial, but they brought no charge against the Government of India. He knew nothing , of the Raja of Sattara. He had taken taken this up solely as a question of justice. He made no charge. He simply said that the Raja of Sattara had been unjustly charged, and had not had a fair trial. The Governor, Sir Robert Grant, in his minute of the 25th of October, page 65, said:— " The proposition of Colonel Lodwick turns on views which I consider as totally inapplicable to the case. "In ordinary trials fbi- crimes, the question being whether a positive law has been violated, the deci sion may turn on nice points of legal construction, or on an accurate examination of precedents. If the case on either side is, either by accident or design, imperfectly represented, the Judge, knowing nothing of it but what appears at the trial, has very limited means of sup plying the defect. Professional aid is, therefore, neces sary on both sides ; and, indeed, it must be evident that, if allowed to the accuser, it cannot be denied to the accused. " The present case is wholly different. The question is not one of law, nor admits of any legal refinements. It is an inquiry, not set on foot by a prosecutor, but con ducted by the Government itself, which has r Ao bi as against the Raja, but, on the contrary, the sine ;rest w i s h to see his innocence established. The hono.. a - i n d ee d . , o f the British Government, and also its 'aedit for con sistency, are deeply concerned in not arl.initting, except on the most irresistible evidence, ther.alt of a Prince whom the Government raised from a pr .i.Son to a throne, whom it has ever since fostered wi . -- ' l ,it friendly care, and from whom it has uniformly rece - .ved all the observances of at tachment and confidence " The investimatior. is immediately conducted by three British °dicers of. character, who know that the sole object of Government is the discovery of truth, who cannot poss;:,l3, have any feeling of interest adverse to the Raja. and who, being unembarrassed by legal forms and te'.lnnicalities, have the fullest means and facilities of see'Aing out all the information attainable. " Were the Raja to be attended by his counsel, it ought, on similar principles, to be held that Government must appear on the occasion by the Advocate-General. But I see not the slightest reason for adopting, in the present case, a course utterly unknown, and, indeed, so palpably inapplicable to proceedings of this nature. The Raja may be attended by one of his own ministers or confidential friends. No intention exists of warping doubtful circumstances to his disadvantage ; and, if he be innocent, my conviction is, that his cause will find a surer support in the intelligence and consciences of the Commissioners, than it could derive from the dexterous tactics and ingenious pleading of the ablest advocate whom he could hire for his defence. the"P With regard to the manner of communicating with That as w ilja, I have thought it right, as the most effectual, letter e 1 as the most conciliatory proceeding, to address a from myself to his Highness, in which I stated— great imprtathnece Go vernment having rendered it necessary for Go the ent to appoint a Secret Commission at Sattara, fo purpose of inquiring into certain circumstances' of great to the country, this Commission, as representino• some °ll3 Government, would be entitled to every consideration f his Highness ; that during the in quiry, could not meet ir. li l i e s "; questions Highness had arisen which involved the in terests of his of publicity which t and that, as the Commission palace without occasioning a dis playwith my own hand, to invite him hit n desirableto visit t o avoid, the wrote o l mm is . " In the concluding instruction sioners at the Residency, when . all should be made plain. L i e on to the Commission, I as the . delivered to the Raja by desired that this letter should e the Political Secretary, to introduced by- the vernment, who would, of course,inlieediate organ of Go attend at the re- Resident : that if the Raja declined t h or point out any other Highness eo and the of mpromising re sidency, he should be requested mode, by which a meeting between Commissioners could be effected, without the dignity of one party, or the dutyother. Should the Raja refuse to do so, or should his the p be deemed inadmissible , I ins tru cted Mr. Willoughby to inform his Highness of the charges against him, anil of the evidence on which they rested , aad to point clearly and forcibly, the bad im p ressi o n the Government out, must entertain by his declining to meet these accusa tions. " Even should this appeal be unavailing, I represented to the Commissioners that I did not think they should close their proceedings, without giving the Raja the op tion of either delivering it written statement of his con duct, or of answering, in writing, whatever interrogato ries the Commission might consider it advisable to propose. " It; is of so great imp&tance that the Commission should close their proceedings, to allow Mr. Willoughby and Colonel Ovans to return to their duties, that I trust the Board will approve of my having answered the refe rence, without previously submitting it to Bombay. We shall now shortly be called upon to deliberate on the mode of treating this delicate case, should the Raja of Sattara have really proved faithless to his engagements with the British Government ; and I request that my colleagues will give the subject their most serious atten tion, as it will probably be the first on which we shall have to consult when we meet at the Presidency. " 25th October, 1836. (Signed) `;R. GRANT." With respect to the mode of 'trial, although opinions might differ, yet Sit B. Grant, hingelt, wiraitte4 theta° THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDA.ir, J1.1,11Y 20,1841. Raja ought to have an opportunity of offering evidence, and of answering the charges made against him. This appeared from the 55th and 56th paragraphs of the minutes of the 31st of May, 1838, page 248 : " It would be more agreeable to ordinary practice, and would at the same time satisfy the ends of justice, if the Raja were supplied, in writing, with the nature of the facts brought forward in evidence against him, and were called to meet them with any defensive or explanatory statement which he might think fit to offer. In the letter of Lieutenant-Colonel Ovans of the 17th Janaary last, to which I have already alluded, there is a summary of the evidence to be submitted to the Raja, as constituting the charges against him ; whether such evidence should be communicated to his Highness in full, or in an abridged or abstracted form, may be a question foe consideration. Mr. Anderson, as I collect from his minute of the 22d instant, would hold the latter plan to be sufficient, and his authority on such a point is high ; but the determination must rest with the Govern ment of India. " There is, however, a very material observation to be offered in this place. Whatever be the mode of trial or inquiry we adopt, yet if the Raja is to have the oppor tunity of offering evidence (and I conceive that he ought), it is essential that he be placed in the same situation with any other accused person, and enjoy the same ad vantages, but no more. Pending the trial or other proceeding, therefore, his functions of sovereignty should be suspended. His ample wealth and despotic power furnish him with almost unlimited means of procuring favourable evidence by corruption, and of deterring by violence or intimidation all evidence of another character ; and of these means, if left in his hands, he is likely to avail himself without scruple. Such a perversion of justice it is essential to prevent ; and this may, I conceive, be done in the manner I have proposed. Let the accused be allowed the widest latitude and . the utmost facility of defence ; but let him be disarmed, for the time, of the ability to defeat justice, by introducing falsehood and excluding truth." The 52d paragraph of the same minute, pp. 246 and 247, was most remarkable : " I perfectly agree with Lieutenant-Colonel Ovens when he argues, that this is not a case that can be dis posed of by admonition or reprimand, or by attempting to attach, or re-attach, the Raja to the British connec tion by measures of lenity and forgiveness. His High ness, it will be observed, exhibits no symptoms of con trition. At one time it was believed that he meditated a confession of his fault ; but from this, perhaps his most sensible course, he is said to have been directed by.his Bombay advisers. Whatever may be the counsels that sway him, he has assumed the position, not of repentant guilt, but of traduced and oppressed innocence. , He loudly demands redress for the suspicions and humilia tions that he has undergone, and vengeance against the accusers who have caused his wrongs. Not only so, but he has seized, as I before observed, this occasion to mar shal in array what he alleges to have been the grievances originally sustained by him at our hands, and he calls for reparation and indemnity. Under these circumstances, what ground does the case present on which an amicable adjustment can be made ? To talk of showing him mercy will, on his principle, be to add gross insult to grievous injury. He will say, I have done nothing to call for lenity I I am unjustly accused, and even pro nounced guilty, of crimes which never entered my ima gination : mafe compensation to me for this unheard-of prosecution. I, want redress, not_ pardon. Declare me innocent by proclamation. Confess that I have been cruelly wronged. Cede me territory ; cede ire my just claims over the Jagheerdars. Deliver up to' me my false and base accusers, that I may deal with them according to their deserts.' Such would, undoubtedly, be the lan guage of his Highness ; and I own that, if we lay our selves open to it, I see not how it can possibly be an swered. There is but one coarse that we can consis tently pursue, if we deny him to be innocent ; it is to deal with him as a criminal." That was a most remarkable passage, and convinced him of the honesty of Sir Robert Grant's mind. He had fully entered into the feelings of the Raja as an innocent man, and had traced out most accurately the line which the Raja had pursued—(Hear, hear)—and that opinion of Sir Robert Grant's appeared to be equally entertained by the Governor-General, as appeared from the minute of the 23d of December, 1838, p. 335 :- " We are called upon, I feel, by very strong conside rations of propriety and expediency, to bring the guilt of the Raja to the test of a final 'proof, by the best and most just process which can be devised ; and then, if he should have been unable to exculpate himself, to remove him from a throne of which he will have shown himself to be eminently undeserving." Some parties had treated this as merely a judicial question ; others had been inclined to treat it more as a political question. The Court of Directors seemed to treat it rather as a judicial question, At p. 336 in the minute of 23d of December, 1838, the Governor-General said— " It is not neecessary to establish it as a fixed rule, that the British Government cannot depose any Prince not taken flagrante belle, except through the medium of a formal trial.' But in this instance, if the Raja should eventually demand to be confronted with the wit nesses against him, and to be placed on his trial, or even if he should r.ot himself make that demand, but the written explanation or defence, which I would pro pose in the first instance to require from him, shoal seem, as it very possibly may, to leave a necessity for some further proceeding, there may perhaps be no al ternative to such a mode of final examination and dis posal of the case, however cumbrous, dilatory, and in convenient it must be" felt to be. Commissioners of high rank and character from the other Presidencies, if ne cessary, might be assembled for the purpose. Detailed orders would, in such a case, if ,we are forced to the measure, be necessary on the precise mode of trial, and all the other cis - cumstances attending the procedure, to which allusion is made in the letters from Bombay. But it would be premature.to enter at all upon those points at present. As the firs4- - ,ep, I would, as suggested by Sir Ro bert Grant, me?* that the Raja should be furnish e d with a written s i t4lement, embodying a full and clear de tail of the facts cayinected with the several charges, and of the names (with any reservations which may be abso lutely requin-d for the safety of the party) of the wit nesses by whom they are proved, with a notice of the circumstances under which the evidence was obtained, and call for from him, within a certain reasonable time to be fixed, a similar written statement of whatever he may desire to urge in his own behalf. The Acting It e . sident will, of course, take care, by every means tit his power, to see that his guarantees to witnesses are, in let ter and spirit, fully maintained. " I should think the above measure, as a preliminary one, preferable to the course of gi:(ing to the Raja a memorandum of each distinct po :etiOn of oral or written evidence against him, the res ::(it - of which might be much confused, and unnecess that reply shall ha aty. prolixity in the reply. When :ve reached me, I would judge from the tenor of it, whether it would be advisable to go o n at once to y further proceeding, or to 'await a further commur,Leation from the Honourable Court ; to whom, of c'eurse, as well as to the Supreme Government in In cl.:La, the reply would be immediately communicated." • He did not know if the Hon. Court of Directors had made any reply to that. He hoped before the debate closed that they should hear whether any opinion had been given by the Court of Directors on that subject. He had already stated that the Board of Directors had agreed with the General Government ; but he had yet to learn what right the Bengal Government had to deter mine upon the case without waiting for the directions of the Board of Directors.—(Hear, hear.) He thtittght that in so doing the Bengal Government had not paid that deference and attention to the Court of Directors which they ought to have done.-(Hear, hear.) The distin guished Nobleman wiro had been the predecessor of Sir Robert Grant itt the Government of Bombay, had not been ashamed to confess that in the proceedings which he had adopted towards the Raja of Sattara he had been wrong. Why should they be ashamed to retrace their steps ? Why should they be ashamed to acknowledge that they-were wiser to-day than they had been yester day ?—(Cheers.) The proper course to have pursued in the case of the Raja of Sattara would have been the one which had been pursued in the case of the Raja of Mysore, who had been suspected of plotting against the British Government. They bad not taken upon themselves to decide the cause ; but Cominissioners had been appointed, to whom the administration of the do minions of the Raja had been confided, so that, if the Raja was found guilty, he might eventually be deposed, but if hp should prove his innocence, in that case his dominions would be restored to him—and such ought to have been the course pursued towards the RAP, of Sat tara.—(Hear, hear.) They ought net to have decided oq the question of his guilt or inneetnce at once, but they should have waited the result of an investigation.--(Rear.) Instead of that they had rushed at once to a decision without inquiry. Sir Robert Gtant had also expressed his opinion that there ought to be no comprenuse—so (lid they say. If the Raja were guilty he ought to be deposed ; he had justly forfeited his throne ; and he did think if the Raja were proved guilty that no one there would hold up their hands against his deposition ; but he could net be declared guilty until he should have had a fair trial, and as he had not had a fair trial he was, at that moment, althottgh a prisoner, by right, the Raja of Sattara,.—(Hear, hear.)

Liars, suborners, perjurers, criminals of the deepest dye ; an d could they believe him guilty upon such testimony, not withstanding his protestation that he was not guilty, while the most distinguished Proprietors who had been Residents at his Court had solemnly declared that they believed the Raja was incapable of giving utterance to a falsehood—(Hear, hear,)—and he had authority for stating, that the only other gentleman who had been a Resident at the Court of Sattara (Coptain Grant Dutl) entertait ed and had expressed similar opinions.

It was a despotic Government ; but there was; whether right 6t: wrrhig, he would not then say, there was a free press—there was a public tribunal for the discussion of affairs. Every act of theirs must undergo a scrutiny.—(Hear; hear.) Therefore he would recommend the India Government to meet every question.—(Hear, hear.) It would be well that there should be amongst the people of India a growing feeling that they could appeal, under any feeling of injustice, to this Court for redress.—(Hear, hear.) Instead of acting like the President of the Board of Con trol, who would fain prevent those " turbaned fellows" from coming to this Court with their complaints, instead of treating the Vakeels from the native Princes with ignominy and contempt, they ought rather to encourage them to bring their complaints before that Court — (Hear, hear)—to make them feel that they had but to appeal to that Court to ensure redress.—(Hear, hear.) They should afford them every possible opportunity of appealing to the Court of Directors on any alleged grievance.—(Hear, hear.) Before he sat down, he must express a hope that some less offensive amendment would be proposed than the one which had been proposed from the Chair. He did not think it met the case fully. He did not say it was insulting, because he believed it had not been proposed in that spirit, but it certainly did not meet the case fully, freely? and fairly. It merely left the Court where it was in February, 1840, before the Directors had decided on the case. The proceedings of that Court were declared to be utterly useless by that amendment. The Deputy-Chairman had not been content to rest the case on the amendment. He had gone into the merits of the case, and had put.the question on its issue. —(Hear, hear.) He begged them, not only as a matter of justice but as a matter of expe diency, not to persevere in the amendment which had been proposed from the chair, which to speak of it in the mildest terms was curt and short, and was treating the Court in a manner in which it ought not to he treated. —(Hear, hear.) They would not have sat there day after day since Wednesday if this had been a question which it was highly inexpedient to discuss.—(Cheers.) He hoped that some amendment would be proposed if the original question was negatived, which would at least vindicate the necessity for investigation—(Cheers) —and which would be compatible with the serious nature of the subject, and with the honour and dignity of the Court. Mr. NORRIS said it was the duty of every one con nected with the Court to come forward and state his opi nions frankly and manfully on the present occasion, and more particularly the duty of those who, like himself, had from a long residence in India an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the bearings of the case. In his opinion the Raja was the victim of the intrigues of the Brahmins. He did not state this upon his own judg ment alone, for the Court would recollect that in 1831 upwards of 3,000 of this caste had made the strongest and most virulent representations against the Raja to Lord Auckland. If the evidence in the volume which he then held in his hand (" Official Papers concerning the Case of the Raja of Sattara") were to be believed, it would appear that the Raja put his liberty and posses sions in the hands of those whom he knew to be hostile to him. Was it to be believed that any one in his senses would have acted in that manner ? If the Government believed him to be guilty, they should have watched him closely, and the more especially were they bound to do so when it was well known that those accusing him were his bitterest enemies ; but these conside rations were not attended to, and the Raja was the victim. It was admitted that the hand writing of the Raja was not produced in support of any of the numerous charges made against him, and it was also pretty well known that his accusers were not likely to speak the truth_ A great deal had been said of the motives actuating the Gentlemen whose names were associated with this question. Upon this head he could only say that he was sure all were influenced by feelings most pure and honourable.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Still he dissented most strongly from the pro ceedings of the Bombay Government, and eepreeeed his belief in the innocence of the Raja. No men had a right to ask him to assert distinctly that the Raja It as inno cent, however strong the moral conviction might be within his own breast on the subject ; for even if he were asked to affirm that the Hon. Deputy, Chairman was not a housebreaker, he could not poeitleely nega tire the assertion, however ridiculous and preposterous • it might appear.—(Laughter.) No man had a right to have a heavy charge brought against him without a trial being afforded to him at the same time ; but who could say that there was a fair trial given to • the Raja to prove his innocence of the charges of intrigue that were brought against him. Ho never had an opportunity of defending himself ; and, as Englisliniefi, a Ada had been put upon their character, and a wrong inflicted, for which it was their bounden duty to afford a remedy. He saw no course adopted in the present case which would act as a caution to prevent the recurrence of the same injustice at a future period. With respect to the charge of the Raja's endeavour to seduce the fiepoys, he (Mt Norris) did not consider it to be established in a man ner at all satisfactory. Honourable Gentlemen had dwelt on the assertions that the Raja was to give notice to the Sepoys, in case of any dis turbances at Bombay in consequence of the communica tions with the Governor of Goa ; but the fact was that the Sepoys were strictly cautioned to take no notice whatever of any outbreaks that might occur throughout the country. It was well known, as he before asserted, that those upon whose testimony the accusations against , the Raja of Sattara rested were Brahmins, who were united not only b i t caste, but were also united and rascality.—( In blood ear, hear, and laughter.) He (Mr. N.) thought that, considering it was so satisfactorily proved that the Raja was at variance with the whole Brahmin caste, it was impossible to attach the slightest credence to their testimony. If the Raja carried on those intri gues at Goa, how was it possible that they could have escaped the cognizance of the Resident ? In several let ters from Sir R. Grant, it was asserted that the Raja was most strongly attached to the British Government. He (Mr. N.) had been in company with the Raja about half a dozen times, and his demeanour towards the English was hank, friendly, and joyous ; and he would appeal to those present who had a similar opportunity, for the truth of his assertions. Such was his conduct until the unfortunate circumstances connected with the Jagheerdars, when a very marked difference was perceptible ; and lie would ask if there was one iota of truth in the accusation of his being a dissembler, why he did not adopt a different line of con duct, and turn the more obsequious and fawning 7 , (Hear, hear)—instead of which he became morose, and even uncourteous, with the Resident and Governor. He would again ask if this proved him to be versed in the arts of dissimulation. No one who had opportunities of observing his demeanour, could for a moment suppose that he was supporting for ,any length of time the cha racter of a regal gambler, or mixed up with intrigues to gain the aid of Portugal, or other .Foreign Foveae: If the opinions of the Residents weft/ eteted, it Would be found that his mind was sole!! occupied with the inter nal policy of his province, and all his energies directed- to the erection (4' schools, construction Of roads, ftiut such local improvements, and that he was the most Indus . trious of the Illudoo Princes of India. How was that consistent with the character of a man intriguing for the accumulation of vast territory and influence 7 The seat of all those intrigues, which the Reja Wile accused of carrying on, Wert petty Courts in India, where there were no British Residents, and where rid possible service could arise to, hine, and therefore there was ample grounds for stiposing these were sham intrigues.— , (Heal\ heat') What those who advocated the cause , of the Raja wanted, was not any partieular form of trial but a fair hearing.—(flear, Itetth) it Was fidielliOtis on , the part of those who Said that the Raja should be tried by a jury of his Peers. Stich assertions were used in , order to defeat the ends ofjastiee.-ea(hoar, hear.) The Government of India Wee carried on under regulations , passed by the Governor-General in Council, which bee came the law of the land, and not like the edittiftietra , tion of justice in this country. Was it fait, if a trial, I according to the strict legal punctilios, could not be granted, that there should be no trial at nil ?aaateae, hear.) He agreed with the gentleman who last sat down that ilia amendment was merely preparatory. Thole who were appointed to high official offices Might to be persons of high character and tact, and able to con quer the difficulties incident to our Indian possessions. Much as he admired the character of Sir dames Ceread, yet he thought that when the Raja said he would not con sent to sign. the paper, a different course should have been pursued. The Raja ought to have had a fair hear= ing, but instead of such being the case, the evidence to be adduced against him was prepared by the Resident, but was never shown to the Rio previous to his being called upon to sign the document. lie (Mr. N.) was not able to call Sir James Carnac his friend, yet, he owed Sir James a debt of gratitude for appointing him to a high situation shortly after his return to the colonies: The Raja being conscious of his innocence refused to sign a doe cument declaring himself guilty, and the subsequent treatment he received could be characterised in no other terms than harsh in the extreme ; and he (Mr. Norris) was surprised at the manly and consistent conduct of the Raja, under the injustice with which he had been treated. He had tried repeatedly to open a communication with h th a e d ß pr o e m v b io a h y sl G y o a v d e d r r n ,d m ds e e nt and the Honourable Ceur t haves ' no Directors pro o f o , f b hu str er manifested in in vain. iguni There might h firmity o f temp bea at e Raja, this was oeen t u an in g against the interests Of the, British empi re .

If the Raja made himself a disgrace to the British alliance, it might be said to himthat by tyranny or i othenvi provisions should be annulled trjuatt,y to o lid alltsother beneficial pur poses he was quite an independent sovereign, and, as such, was entitled to be treated ; but he contended that he had not acted • in any way in the slightest degree inconsistent with the treaty. The Hon. Gentleman he re read a lo - ion; eetract from the " Sattara papers," extend ing from p age 373 to page 379, so rapidly and in such an indistinct voice es to render it impossible to catch its purprwt, end proceeded to say that the letter. he had lust , read was me- u • t to silence everything that had le en ad j vanced against the Raja, and that 'such 'a letter • would I . new ha ve hem written if there were not the t • stronges proofs ot 'his innOceiia.

He could not Jim the want of courtesy and feeling shown by the ettikt, tdfiehing the applications of the Raja, who had sent let ters upwaticis of 15,000 miles, which were actually re turned to him again, Surely this was not the way in which the Coat should have acted. The members of the Court of Direct Ors said they were compelled to drive the Raja from the throne, but it had not been proved that he was guilty of tyranny, or conduct that was at all disgraceful to our alliance. Sir R. Grant, and even the Court of Directors themselves, admitted that he was fit to be a pattern for all the Hindoo Princes, and one whom it was the duty of the British Government to keep on the throne. The Hon. Gentleman concluded an able and eloquent speech amidst cheers, and saying he should most cordially support the motion. After a short conversation between Mr. George Thompson, Mr. Salmons, and another Proprietor, The Court, on the motion of Sir Robert Campbell, was adjourned till to-morrow. SECOND EDITION SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. KERRY ELECTION. (BY EXPRESS.) CLOSE OF THE POLL. O'Connell. Brown Blenerhassett Hickson ... 652 ... 428 SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIN DAY. GLOBE.—We are well aware that to quality the ad mitted triumph of opponents by the adjunct " tempo rary," is one of the oldest and most hackneyed resources of a disappointed party, and few positions can be snore difficult to prove ; yet we do seriously , hold the opinion that the present supremacy of the Tories, backed by the landed interest, will not be of extended duration. To effect this result; we are far from reckoning on any sud den ebullition of popular discontent to reverse or intimi date the present Parliamentary majority—this is not pro bable, and still less desirable, involving as it does the em ployment of most dangerous elements. No we think that the present majority will decline as surely, though not of course so rapidly, as it has arisen. Observe the conjuncture of circumstances to which it owes its crea tion—an almost entire rupture between the Whig Go vernment and the landed interest ; great previous apathy amongst Liberal electors, as evinced by their neglect of registration ; discontents amongst many dissentients from the Poor-law, or assentients to Chartisin, who seek under a Tory administration for relief or preponderance which they will not find. Add to which the discontents which follow every Government, as such, and we have a variety of causes, the subtraction of any one of which (and how long does their most sanguine partisan dream ihey will all remain in force ?) will strike a blow at the edifice of Tory power that now rises so fair on the eye out of the smoke and tumult of a general election. Will the landed interest find the acts of the new Ministry consonant to its wishes? Or again, if this sacrifice be made, how can the Chartist!) find under the forthcoming Government the fruition of their hopes? The first responsible acts, then, of the Tory administration will, we think, tend to bring parties to their late ' equal balance, and undoubtedly all the chances of the future are in our favour. We have risked much in the advocacy of a great principle; our vessel has indeed bren sorely buffeted by the waves of faction, but the cape is doubled, and for the future we shall gather as our opponents will lose strength in their onward course. We have enumerated what we consider rational grounds for supposing that the recent vic tory of the Tories will not be permanent in its duration ; and while these supply matter for hope to the Liberal party, they should be warned against cherishing the idea of any sudchn annhilation of the results of the elec tions by an outburst of popular indignation. Such sudden ebullitions are, happily for the stability of our institutions, foreign to the character of our nation, which is patient, and will bear much ere it turn against oppression. But, on the other hand, Mad Indeed would be the folly that could reckon on this national forbearance in order to indulge in oppressive policy. If the interests of the masses are sacrificed to those of a few, the day of reckoning will come, not the less surely because it is slow ; and if the new Ministry proceed on the old exclusive system, dear to the retrospections of Tories, its doom will be pronounced Without appeal. Let, then, the forthcom leg Premier ley this to heart, and dispose as best he may bf the alternative of disaffection among his more eager fol lowers. Will theSe letter bear delay 7—will they brook mode ration ? will a dogged resistarled to all . changes in the Corn laws suit with Sir R. Peel's habitual prudence will his plan for governing Ireland satisfy the hopes of his partisans in that country ? Here are heaps of difficulties for the new Adminie Ettatied •' tiat Weeded by the Whigs"---the last and falsest alle.. gation of the Tory press—but deriving their source from the complex relation of the British empire. STANDARD,=-It is with loyal reluctance we quote the following paragraph from the Ministerial journal:—" On dit that the Queen has heard of the vain boast of Sir Robert, that, if he came into power, he would make her a Tory (a Conser vative, as he said) In fie weeks ; and that the Baronet is, con sequently, more disliked than ever at head- quarters." Let it be remarked that this paragraph is taken from the same Journal which announced, in May, 1839, that the Ladies of the Bedchamber Were not to be removed—making the an. nouncement one hour Ware the fact was communicated to Sir Robert Peel by her Majesty. There can he little doubt, there fore, that this disgraceful libel Upon our beloved Sovereign—a libel which othereise we should suppose to have its birth in some low beer-shop—comes tram RD underling at the Palace. That it belies the Queen as much as It belies Sir Robert Peel there cannot be the least cause to doubt. Her Majesty has had the opportunity of knowing Sir R. Peel ; she is well acquainted too, with the modern as well as the earlier history of the country she is born to govern . ; and, as none ever had reason to doubt her sagacity and disefiroination of character, she can tell whether the wise, acconlplithecl i end devotedly loyal Baronet is likely to have uttered tic vulgar bra vado ascribed to him. Her Majesty, too, knows whether she dislikes Sir Robert Peel—the object of the ad miration, gratitude, and confidence of the greater and better division of her subjects. The Queen, we know, dues not dislike Sir Robert Peel. Her own purity of mind and character command that she approve of the personal conduct of one whose private and domestic life presents a perfect model. It were a foul injustice to suppose that though the Sovereign may prefer her present advisers as Ministers, she doesnot esteem the man Sir R. Peel immeasurably above the man Lord Mel .bourne. Endowed with no common share of talent herself, the Queen can be as little blind to the transcendent genius of the Right Hon. Baronet ; and if the lofty . spirit of the House of Hanover causes her Majesty to appreciate as she ought, and as she does, the dignity of her Crown, where can she find one more resolved or more able to maintain it than in the selected leader of the class of her subjects ever most dis tinguished by undeviating loyalty? Let the conduct of Sir R. Peel in defence of the dignity of the Crown, when assailed by her Majesty's present advisers, in the person of the late King, be taken as proof of the defence which he would offer for that Crown upon the head of its present lovely and beloved wearer. No, the Queen does not dislike Sir Robert Peel. Were his personal claims to the respect of every virtuoas woman, to the admiration of all who can appreciate genius, as slight as they are irresistible, the Queen could not dislike the most able and devoted champion of her Crown and dignity to be found within her nearly boundless empire. COVRIER.—It has long been a favourite pastime with the Whigs, in and out of Parliament, to threaten Sir Robert Peel with the difficulties he will have to grapple with in Ireland ; from the unceasing repetition of these threats, and the injudi ciousness of some who would be considered the expounders of What real Conservatism is, but who sometimes suger teal to outrun discretion, an apprehension of some such difficulty pre. *ails, we find, in certain quarters, but a more ground less or gratuitous) one can hardly be imagined. For, in what can consist his difficulties with regard to the Government of Ireland? Oh ! exclaims some croaking prophet of the Whig press, " wait till you see how rampantly and offensively the more violent of his supporters will conduct themselves in . . and with what blind and eager haste they will attempt to re-enact the penal code, and regain their former ascendancy." And upon what grounds can our readers suppose this piece of prophetic pertness is seriously sought to be recommended as worthy of implicit tredente? h It upon any declaration made by Sir Robert Peel or any one understood to be in his confidence ? No ; for his acts, his declarations, and the principles Upon which the future policy of his Government Is avowedly based, expressly contradict the suppo sition that he would either listen to, or be a party to any such rash attempt. His Government will not be, aa has been falsely alleged, one of "re seizure" either in England or Ireland; supported as ho will be by such a majority as few late British Ministers have com manded, he will want the temptation, as he con fessedly does the disposition, to embark in schemes of wild and hazardous . change; and if there be any Arriengit the numerous host of his supporters so foolishly and Madly imprsclicable, which we are sure there is not, as to propose or urge upon him any course of policy at variance With the spirit and object of the Relief Bill in the sister coun try or of tile Beetle Bill in this country, he can afford to shake them eff without risk a los* of power.
