The conclusion was this "Actiog in this 'obit your leasisisip
may rely on our unqualified support." (Hear. bear.) The
government did not only write that to India, they made it
public here as soon
as they were able to do so, that the whole
of India was in the knowledge of the fact that the govern-
ment were detennised to give the, it unqualified eappert to the
prosecution of • system of clemency as well as justice.

that he whited with' taped to Lord Canning ; whether he
desired that the noble lord should return to this country. If
he had desired the return of Lord Canning he should have
mule the conchution of his letter more pointed; but it avoided
any expression of opinion that was in the leas calculated to
produce such an impression. The view it expressed was that
theme might be circumstances in existenee when that des-
patch was received which might mots it as Impolitic sod-
hmly to withdraw the proclamation as It wee impolitic ever
to Lone it, and therefore the government did not desks to
force Lord Canning to the adoption of that course But he
our asked what be desired? He did not desire the return
of Lord Cannier though he had no km in the matter;

heed. The government had done their duty, in so far se
they could not have done otherwise than what they had
dose, as It was impossible for any government desirous of
tempering the administratisn of juotire with a spirit of cle-
mency to avoid expressing this opinion with respect to the
proposed oonliscation of the whole property and rights of the
pm=Onde. (Hest, hear.)
GREY maid the speech of the noble earl who had
just sat down was addressed not to the question whether this
was the proper time for making public the severe censure
that had been prenoemed open the whole policy of Lord
Canning with Nepal to Ou ; bat, ou the contrary, to •
totally different queetion, namely, whether that policy was in
itself right or moat; whether the proclamation had been
published, and whether the governess' had dons their
duty in expressing their diespproval of it. Upon this
but question he was not able to exprees any opinion what-
ever. He had not the information before him to my whether
Lord Canning had done right or wrong, or whether he de-
served censure. He could understand the government having
far more Information before them than he could posies, and
he could quite understand that they thought it right to dis-
approve of the proclamation and to write, possibly, a severe
deepatch condemning it. He could perfectly conceive all
that to be right, but then was It right that the assure
should be publicly prochimed ? He opuld not forget that
Lord Canning had shown in the course of his Goveraor-
Generalship great moral courage, great Armes, in maim-
Mining the principles of justice and a policy of clemency at •
time when the public mind was highly exalted,
and it was not disposed to give that consideration
to the principle which it deserved. He timid
not forget that Lord Coating withstood the attacks
of ealomny, and therefore, in the first place, he
said they ought not to believe that Lord Canning had
departed from the principle which he had hitherto acted upon
until they had the most conclusive evidence on the subject,
and until they had had full opportunity of weighing all his
explanations, andthe grounds on which he had mewed. At
the same time he was bound to say that even if they were
ocinvinced that he had dons wrong, they were bound to
believe that it wee an error oi judgment only. (Hear, hear.)
That being the case, what bad been done? The govere-
ment had directed him I. modify his course ; and he, for ime,
had not a word to my to that; but then, was it right to
publish to the whole world that this had been don? The
noble earl opposite says, " What are we to do it was India-
ereet to ask the question of the government;" but they could
have declined to answer it. (Hear.) When he had the honour
of being a Secretary of State he made it an invariable rule
never to answer a question without previous notice, and when
the correspondence was still going on, as in this came, his
reply generally was, that whatever opinion be might have
formed on the particular subject, he did not think It for the
public service that it should be diecused. Now, the minister
in the other house might well have followed that course when I
the indiscreet question was asked touching the proclamation
and letter. He might easily have said that the proclamation
wee still the subject of correspondence, and he was not in •
situation to express an opinion upon it one way or thiv
other, but that he would take we that justice was done In
the matter, and that the home should be tally informed of
the result. If that line had been taken, the house would
have shown no disposition to press the question. It was the
worm followed the other day in the Cagliari cam ; and when
it was stated that It would not be convenient for the pub-
lic service to produce the papers, then the house immediately
acqtdmottl in the refuel. But his noble friend near him
(Earl Granville) was told that be could not complain of the
production of the despatch when he had salted for it ; but
surely after the censure had been pronounced it was only
proper that the friends of Lord Canning should wish to see
n whet terms the censure had been given. They certainly
hoped that when the despatch was produced it would be
found that there were not those grounds for census as had
been supposed. It was not only on account of Lord Can-
ning, who had filled his high office la a time of extreme
difficulty in a manner that entitled him to greater °guiders-
don than had been shown to him by the government, that he
made these remarks, but It was also for the eke of India and
of this country. It wits neither for the interest of India nor
of Ragland that the government of India should at this
moment be placed in fresh hands, or that Lord Canntrig,
holding the high office of Governor-General, should have his
authodty weakened by a public expression of Or•LJTO from
the government at home. He coursed that his cads' ex-
parlance afforded no precedent for the coarse now taken by
the goverment; it appeared to him, In fact, to te entirely
'about precedent, and De could not help expressing his sur-
prise at IL He was totally at a km to conceive what grounds
the government could have for
ip it. It seemed to him
that there was no object to be by it. A little while
ago public feeling ran riot In your of treatinlndia with
surpassing severity, bid the times ware nowchanged, and
there was a disposition to run riot In the other drectimL
Could it be then that for the sake of gaining • little
popularity andpropping up • weak administration, the
Governor- was to be made • sacrifice to the
new-born noel of the government for the ptinolple
of justice and humanity ? It was ungenerous to
put unfavourable constructiom upon the conduct of
public men ; but one might almost believe that this
iremature and undefineddeclaration of mum had bean
ndurated by some such motive as that. (Hear, hear.) Ts. •
the absence of rook a suppoaition, he could only surmise that
the course Shea by the government situ the malt of an
extraordinery inadvertence, for whit* ha could not secounL
The subject then dropped.
After moms convenatioe shoat the English church at
Paris, the remaining Wetness was disposed of, and their lord-
ship, adjourned at seven o'clock.
