division taken on this imPortant goestion. when the
Direflors divided, t.'.o to 3 (one being sick did net
attend) against the appointment of Lurd l. UDE A..
DALI by Government. Before the Court broke up.
the Members came to the Resoluti .n of presenting
a Memorial to Government, which was accordingly
forwarded on Saturday. It is, we are assured by
those who heat d it read, couched in the most tempe.
rate language; nothing is said about usirpation of
their rights, or derogatory to the charasier of Lord
I.arotaLat.r, in express terms; and the Direetrori.
in some degree, have receded from their original
ground, inasmuch as they annoy: ss Ming to admis
that Government shall have the nomination rf
person to be Governor-General of India; but
premise, that the person shall be a man of talents
and charaScr, and one in whom the Direflors r ..s
have full confidence. .Frosts this point the Dirt,:-
Tbts are determined never to swet we. The Memo-
rial further stipulates, that the political chsr..:t• r
of the new Governor will lie Do exception to we
Direttors.
