COLONE L UNDSAIY.

The following is a more correct report of whisk
was said by the Earl of Belem-re*, on Monday, in the
House of Lord., respecting Colonel Lindsay :--
" Aty Lords, usaccinstomed as I am to address your Lord-
ships, I am impelled by so unavoidable duty In submit ist
your Lordships • paragraph from The Times, of the 27th
October, which purports to be the speech of Dr. Lusholeturs.
With the iiolulgeure of the House I shall proceed to read it.
[The paragraph in peeves we pile yofteelsy].
" After such all attack on the happiness of • distinguished
couple, I ideas Lady Charlotte Lindsay and her husband,
Colour! Lindsay, alluding also to the feelings which have
been naturally excited among their numerous connexions,

racter of • hired, ands must affectionate brother from etch
unmerited obloquy.
" As to the letters referred to, the alarm which has beed
raised in the mind of Lady Charlotte Lindsay and her has:
hand, has indured them to place them in my hounds and on
• perusal of them, I may affirm to your Lordships, that
there is nothing in them which bears, directly or indirectly,
on the subject matter of the Bill of Pains and Penalties,
now under the consislrretion of your lordships. With your
Lordships' leave I shall give, in a very few words, the short
history of my brother, Colonel Lindsay :—He embarked for
the East Indies as an ensign, and was present at the severe
action winch terminated in the defeat of Colonel Baillie, by
lb. army antler the command of Hyder Ali. Bring on that
occasion covered with severe wooed', he was, outosihstaird-

to the fortress of Bangalor, where he remained in chains fur
the term of three years and ten months, his wounds being
ojkil littrieg the whole of that period.
"'Phis, my Lord*, was not the place best suited to know
the manners and ways of mankind. He was liberated at
the Peace, and returned to England, where, from igno-
rance of the world, be was stripped, by play, of every
thing excepting his honour. That sole possession was
left, sled that lie has ever maintained in •II its
