COICINkISSI,ONERS OF WEST INDIA ACCOUNTS.

Lord HENRY PETTY rnol.:ed the Order of the Day,
for a Committee of the 'vhoje House, op the West:
India Commissioners'
Oi cliwition that the, Speaker do leave the.

_ .
• Mr. ROSE obje.6.led to the Notion, on the ground
that the Bill .was li4ble to many serious objtaipns,
nd that the I:louse had not ,an opportunity of con,
viderinz the several provisions it contains, the Bill
jot having been printed previously, to the second
reading. Ie v.i4lied only., for a delay of 24 hOurs,
to give- the`-leuse'an opportunity of considering
csmtents of the Fill;;which he contended Contained,

nothing more than the Bill which. it was to repezil:
The Right Hon. Gentleman commented at some
length on the various elauses of the Bill, and de-
fended the measures adopted by the late Adinini-
str2tion, with respea to the correCtion of the abuses
in the West Indies. He insisted that this measure
would enable the Lords of the Treasury to give
greater powers to Commissioners of their appoint-
ment than had ever been given to any other than
Parliamentary Commissioners ; and that it was . the
boldest attempt to increase patronage, as tp Com-
missioners would be appointed under it, in the place
Of ten that were at present in existence. He
pledged his reputation and chara6ter to prove this
to the House, if the Noble Lord should grant the
delay he asked'for.
, •
. Lord H. PETTY thought it extraordinary in the
Right Hon. Gentleman to discuss the measure in
such a way. If he had waited for his answer, he
would have found no hesitatiOn on his part to ac,
cede to his wish. It was his desire that the House
shduld judge of the, measure, upon its merits and
when it should be before them fully, he was
,cono-.
dent he would be able to satisfy them of its utility
and importance. It was rather extraordinary that
a charge of a design to increase patronage should
come, from the Bight Hon. Gentleman, though
from whomsoever it may .come, it was entitled to
'attention. The increase of Commissioners allude 4
to by the Hots. Gentleman was to be but tempo-
rary, and that increase had been rendered neces-
sary by past neglea with respea .to Public Accounts.
He had no objet to put off the.connittee
.to
any day the Right Hon. Gentleman might think
expedient.
'Mr. Rosn wished to know' when the Noble.
lord meant to bring.forward the other Bill; and was
informed by Lord H. Petty that he shoi;kl he able
to bring the Bill forward in a few days.:
The commitment of the Bill was then put off to,
to-morrow.

Mr. ROSE gave notice of several Motions to-mor-
row for Papers relative to the Public Accounts.

INDIA PAPERS.

Ordered, on the Motion of Mr. PAULL, that the
Papers ordered on the. 22d of April be presented

pondence between the GOernor General and thy
Secretary to the Governor General, Mr. Edrnonson,
relative to Major Ouzeley, Aid-de-Camp to, the Na-
bob Vizier, from September, 1802, to Jan. 189.5.

After a short conversation 13. tween Si: A. WEL-
LESLEY, Mr. PAULL, Mr. CREEVEY, and Mr. W.
Po LE, the Hon. Gentleman contented himself with
giving a notice of his Motion for to-morrow, in or-
der that the Board of Controul might have' an oppor-
tunity of considering whether they could, with pro-
priety, grant a Paper which might have the effect of
implicating a Gentleman (Mr. Treeves), now in
Bengal, who could not, of course, have an oliportu-,
pity of defending himself.'
