Noble Lord brought forward the question as mat ter of 'charge against the late-Board of Ciintroel, the gyeaterpert of what he said applied to otherobj eels.

He therefore thought it right to delay the prodhaiou - of this Paper till the merits .of the acts it, related to Were decided, as it weuld excite prejudice if.Foduced at present A.O - reat part of the NOble ti's speech Went to cOgdemit the general systern.and chostitution of the. 'Government of. India.. believed, on investiga. tion i .the Noble Lord , few: to =agree with. him, and little reason to adhere to his. own opinion. There weredi*ulties at.present arising chiefly - from the War, but he hoped the Company would sur- Mohnt those - dill - levities, The. Court of .Directors had great powers. The poeeer of remonstrance was itself very great. When the Noble Lord had made an attack on the Board of Cohtroul, he in filet made no attack on the Legislature. The Paper went to condemn many things, in Lord Wellesley's adiuini stration -which were hot made matter cif . charge; and. it would be wrong to prejudge the Case of the Noble Lord, and with:-a-general censure of that kind. ' Mr.. PAULL stated, that he had given notice three- m onths ago of his intention to bring forward the charge he meant to move tort - non - ow against Lord Wellesley, for mis-application: of the Public Money. The Papers now moved- for .wereemcouneEted with: his object. They were.desighed to chew the ilitfe, rence of the state of India at the commencement aud•at the close of t-he .Administration of. the Noble I , larquis. He voted for the original Meticia. Lord H.E.NRY -PZ . I I Tf agreo. it was essential 'that the information relative .to the, general - state of India contained in this Paper sliclutchbe sortie time or other before the Mouse..

It 'would afterwards be easy-to recur to the Paper as matter of general t pinion.. „ Mr. SMITH had so great a sense of the • vortanoe oftherrnper, : that le would vote for the production of it,' even -- Tinder the present- hireura stances, if it ceilld hot 'be more p - roperly produced :at another time, . :The. difficulties Ministers- had to .-contend with at e preaent were so great, that lie; was sorry to .see theileattention -distraCted by.'eny Wien ,questions.

When ink estigation . :was once entered upon, there u:ould be no end to it. There must be a general revisal, He was asto dished that twenty-nine out of thirty Direacirs bad sat still etzhen their opipiens were so broadly departed . from :- that they submitted to sign -a garbled acid mutilated abstraCt of that opinion, and that they re . mainpda whole year without coming to the House to remonstrate, under an insult that must have been ~ most balling tchtheirfeelings Doctor L4I . I 7 .I:LEACE blamed thOse who were - guilty of transgressions. that called 461.01 y for 'eh.: . quiry, for the distraCtions such enquiry gave to Mi nisters. It was childish to- say abuses should be suffered to go oil because enquiry was inconvenient. He would not trust. to .any individual. To abstain, from the production of a Paper.of • the most useful . - general nature, • because part of the information it contained may be applied to a particular question, he looked upon . as foolish and absurd. , The.ques- Cops upon the Marquis of Welleslevs CondeCt were so plain and dire&, that they ,could be easily de cided upon, without, having recourse to collateral or ietnote matter, which nobody would think of con , Aleaing with then:. Mr. GRANT did not : agree that the situation of the Court of Direaors was-as hard as it had been de scribed-by some. It was certainly, however, very lend when a Nobleman. too high-minded to Attend to their suggestions Was in the situation - of Governor- General, and was proteCled by Administration at home. Concord between the branches. of the Go - vernment was most essential. The only form .in - , which•the Directors could expresseheir disapproba tion of Lord Wellesley was that of this Paper. Ile was not pleased that the Paper -had been produced to the Court of Proprietors. What the Court of Di reaors had signed was part of their opinion, though but a small part. They, therefore, signed nothing but what they thought right. 1-le was of opinion that investigation could not be beneficial unless sup ported by the great talents aed authority of the . House. - He thought it .would be unwise to attetppt any alteration in the Cohstitution of the Govern ment of India. The parts of that Government were now consolidated, and the machine had acquired a -facility of movement from habit. He. approved of the general condua of the late Board of Contronle' though he had ditihred horn it on some points. . Lord TEMPLE said, it was necessary to explain, that this proposed .dispatch, condemning the nistration of Lord Wellesley had-not been prepared till four or five years of his government had expired., The authorities he had to look to for.the guidAhee of his concluttehad not till then expressed•,ahy dissatis - faaion. was - atlt the request :of the CourCoT Di-, meters that Lord Wellesley, tetainuthhe.

He thought the information contained in thy Paper most essential, and he dithiot think it could have any influende;inimical to justice in the proceeding in Which the Rouse was-engaged. He did not think the House was in the situatiotrof a Court ofJustice, or to b,ebound by the :ales of - Courts of Justice., Neither was the proceeding in Which the HOusevWas - engaged a judicial proceeding,' but rather a proceeding of inquiry, like that before 4 Grand Jury, *here all information ought to be admitted. The opinion was ex pose fa,* as to Lbrd Wellesley's Government , and therefore could not give weight to the charges to be adduced -against him..: The 'Paper was desirable to shew the real opinion of - the Court of Dire: - tors,. in contradiaipn to th'at which they were required to' Sign by the'Boatd of.coritroul. Ile therefore voted for'the production: of the.Paper,-as tending to give useful. infortnation, without doing injustice, and without exciting prejudice, and as ne cessary to do away a' false inapreSsion: • • . , The AMSTER: Rillze ROLLs:4i4O .- a very; able speech .against the ',original Motion. He -observed, that tic two Gentlemeo who called forthis Oak-- Mem agreed in the-. reasons for which they, said, it ought to.be prOduced. He maintained that this was a proof there was no solid ground for its ptoduCtion. -He maintained also,, that the faets , upon- which the opinioo of the Court of Directors had been formed , on the conduct of the Noble Marquis, which this dispatch cwtained, ought to be before the Rouse befere the propriety' or impropriethof that opinion could be ,judged of. He : supported the precious quest-ion. . - - . Mr. H. el LELINDER observed, that 'notwith , . a , ,stnding the advantage the House received from the abilities of the Master of the Rolls, he could not ' help adding. sctint; observations to his arguments, and the first point of view struck him ia was, the impoSsibility of any man of common sense • so far : shutting his eyes as_. net to see that although . the motive for calling for the Papers was general and 4bstraa 'information,. that from the periOd'they Were adually . called for, they must prejudice- the public mind upon an imn.t.diate -and personal 9nestion to be decided on within the eoUrSq, cif a few clays . That such i. thing appeared. to him mast`: perfectly unjust, and that every essential and fair- objeCl , of the application could lie attained by-an unobjeCtion able.mode-of proceeding. If, the Noble! Lord. had violated the laws -of the land, cite' the lawS, atu call foi the evidenee of the taas the Diret-tors relied pon to substantiate their 'Opinions; if )le-had dis , iibeyqd orders, let 'these.-orders be quoted and pro duced, and thA disobedience shewn -; but that it -appeared highly iMproper for this House to call'for the opinion's; inferendes, and Colouring of the.Dirc.sc tors. ' It .was. uniust,, most certainly, *l'nm-I:Admi nistration' eon - yet-sea ..of two:, distina parts, each of- 'v l iom, exercising - .distinEt -powers, might differ essentiany on queStions of justice or policy, to'make the opinions barely ofont ; .>. of the parties iv ground of accusation - against. their opponent, and that only, upon the part view of -the question. Such,, un fortunately, -was the case with . the component parts of our. Government in India ; and ,hovveker highly '-he-thoughtoftheFlou.Direeior,and.it was impossible, as .far as iris observation went, for any man to entertain a -higher opinion . of another-than he entertained for Mr. Grant, he could not concur with him this- night, as he must consider -them the result of a diiierence of general opinion. It had been truly stated, that it was almost impossible,' and certainly unwise; to im .peach a general system - of Government where no 'individual aa of cruelty, avarice„ or oppression could be stated or attempted to be proved, because it - comprehended a variety of motives and reSdlts • no tribunal could embrace. 6)nsidering it in this 'point of view; Mr. Alemander was fldVerSe to thp present measure, but wished to consider.the question Ou its individual merits, and analogy to the prai,ltiCe of Grand Juries. In Ireland it was the practice cer tainly, it the examinations of the Witnesses were -not full -and satisfa&orv, in favorem vitov, or for she safety of charzieter, ,not to involve a party ill the risk - and disgrace of atTusation,.wit , hout -thither- exami Ilik tiOli *; hitt there was no initauce of examining- the Magistrates who returned these examinations, as to .their opinion, or to jnat4., their own condua in committing, and bringin-4 the pa, tics to that state-of inquiry. - Let witnesses e examined.--let .fats -be . investigated—but:do not take the'opinions, • colour , . ings, and inferences of any class of men who, have ,essentially differed front the Object Of you?. inquiry, and, make them the criterion by .which you will judge . of their opponents'eondneft, Independent' of these general and particular grounds of reasoning, Mr. ALEKANPER owned he wished to discountenance habits of crimination and accusation. God forbid he should ever deny the power of ,Parliament, when proper groundS were laid ; but Whatever he had re-ad in history, and all the re.asoniugs that occurred to hi§ mind, led him to, consider them as the most fatal prognostics, and. proofs of the dissolution of the ,Government or the State. There was no Nation where the habits extensively preVailed, who were , not convulsed by them ; and however . flattering it might be to the pirde and v consequenee•of the indi viduals who stood forward the vindicators of public integrity, his opinions were, that it would ultimately - deter- men of great rank • and talents frbin under taking the management of public affairs ; and where 'it did not, the threatened prosecutions stopped the State of . the benefit of talents that' might be erni nently-useful; He was` much inclined to 'think such 'might be the case as to . the Noble Lord, but was most cleeidedly•of opinioh, that it •was the duty of every well-meaning man, and of the Parliament . at large, to exercise the undoubted, power with great MOderation, y v and- to consider well, in ever peiiod of our History,: the little good, 'and the great evils and diSsentions which had arisen from ovei-- . strained prosecutitins.

The Ship Owners Would be ma terially/injured by this alteration in tte system. By the preSent mode, which was a deviation from it, the Ainericans alOne supplied ourlSlTands in - the West inclis with ,East India Goods. All that he: asked was, that tl,r subjea should. be thoroughly investigated. rt was iiat a-dew law that he wished to prepese,it was merely the'entbreetbent of an old one. He was'an_liouS that There should be no re laxation of it, unless the most indubitable necessity :was proved.' No man in the House bad a greater, personal stake in the West Indiesthan himself. It might, therefore, readily be supposed, that,he would not contend for any measure likely.to - injure them.

Gentleman, the Inhabitants of the West India "Islands would be continually exposed tothe.dangers of famine, as the Ship Owners .of Great Britain Would have no inducement to afford them a regular sup ply.
