INDIAN AFFAIRS.

Lord CASTLEREAGH moved for so 'Mich of a Let-
dated the.4th of December, 1800, of the Court
cf .Directors to the Bengal Government, as 'related
io he transaCtions in Otide.--Ordered.

Mr. lIAt!Lt, moved for the'produAiOn 'of the Cor-
i-::-ondenee of the Bengal Government with Col.
:)cott;respe6ting the arrangements made by Mar-
quis Wellesle'y, pursnant to the Treaty of Lucknow,
concluded in 180 t . TheSe Papers had before been
')lloved'foi, kit there were thirteen omissions in the
c!OrrespOncience--all ot' them, in his 'opiljion,, of

Lord CA STUREIGH:, after what had passed
I,tst night, trusted that lie might be alloWed.to state
how the matter stood. " Strictly, speaking, the late
'Hoard- of Controul was not a party to the return at
for it had been made by the.present Board;
therefore it there was any thing improper in the dis.
cr.etion exercised, the present Board was respOnsible.
'But-he had. no objection to state what Would have
been, the conrse of the late Board had they continued
in
-office : they had determined to keep 1:ock part
oftliePapers--bUt left them in such A state that
.1116 successors might judge for themselves. Hew-
ever, he had stated confidentially to the Hon. Gen-.
Ileman opposite (Mr. Creevey), his views upon the
wished to withhOld that part which
to the private charatlerof the Nabob Vizier,
\aid; considered as dis'respedfid to him to
therethre set aside five f,etters. IThere
~sere also four or five paragraphs lept.Out of dif-
.f.itrent Papers, becauSe they were to be. found in
:ther Pavers present9d, artti.the reasons were stated

-in marginal notes. He had n 6 objeetton; .bow-
ever, •to the produaion of these omitted para-
graphs, if the /IQ-pourable Gentleman wished to
'have them. •
Lord MQAPE7I-1 said, that they had thought of
withholding some Papers as being private and cob,
ndential ; .but if the Hon. Gentleman was of opi-
'nion that they would support his cause he might
have them, As to the Letters respe&ing the pri-
vate chara6ler of the Nabob Vizier, he - thought
that extra&s from these would,answer his purpose.
Mr. CREEVEY agreed in what. had been said
by. his 'Noble' Friend. After which Lords CAS-
TLEREAGH and MORPETH said a few words in ex-
planation. •
Mr. P4ULL said, that .he had come to the
knowledge of these Papers from the Dispatch of the
Diredors ; and contended that such as he called for
would not injare the chara6ter of the Nabob. He
thought, therefore, that..the . whole should be pro-
duced. He .did not. stand up for the character of
the Nabob Vizier; but a more corre& and dignified
condu& had never been displayed by. any European
Prince. From the oppresSion and tyranny which
he had suffered, he had, to be sure, resorted to
means to kill care ; and if by this means he was-
unfitted for the management of his affairs, it was an
additional reason why the Papers should. be:produced.
He then-read one of the omissions from a-Letter in
his hand ; which one Lord Castlereagh pointed
but in the printed Papers.. But Mr. Paull insisted'
that the tendency and bearing were different in the
Letters.

Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY ..had no objec-
tion to the produ(Stion of the Papers in question
on the part of Marquis Wellesley; they woutd even
be of advantage to his Noble, Relation ; but his
cause did not' need their, support; -and therefore he.
thought 'that those relating to the private condue,lof
the Nabob ought to be suppressed,. because it ought
to be considered- that he was, a Mussulman, and the
publkation might do .hini a great deal of.injury in
his own Country.-
After a few words from Mr. WALLACE, the Mo-
tion was put and carried. ‘:
