They had Ives asked, what were the services of

the Company went indebted to the dispersion of
that memorable confederacy which threatened to
dissolve the English name in lodie.- That great
act was done alone by Warren Hastings at a nine

possibility of his receiving any assiatance from

man then described the rise of Mr. Hastings,
from au inferior situation to supreme power
iu India—and quoted the opinion of a Nlinis-
ter in the House of Commons, who said, whets
he was proposed to fill the station of Cs'overisor-
General, that he was the only European flesh and
blood in India that was not corrupt,—(Year, hear.)
