oiyas :he Taestion itself, as in his situation he thd
n,.t wish to h,,zard any cpinion, and he hoped the

he meant to bring for stand this inquiry ;or whether
he only intendea e• tertain the young Members
of the t louse with an acfo2u t of the historical affairs
of lodia, during the Easter recess ?
Mr. H!LEY ADDING TON observed, that
there were more papers moved for upon tilts stub-

urged the necessity of the Honoura'de Baronet's
stating distinelly what motion he intended to gtound

Mr. SPENCER STANHOI'E thought, that all
charges for East India transadlions would more
properly be investigated before the India Court of
Judicature, which was ballotted for every Sessions

censure upon the Government and enmpany of the
Eas, Indies, for their assumption of the Government
of tha Carnstic.

A letter was sent yesterday to the Bank from

Exchange, stating. that this day he would inform
them of the amount of the Lean, and the days of

an account of the battle of Mohringen, as given in
