and Lord CASTLEREAGH, the Motion 'was agreed 4,
to.
Mr. FRANCIS then said; that ,in prefacing his
second Motion, he should intrude but a feW minutes
on the patience of the House. In what he bad said,
he had not entered into the merits of the •Bilt good
or bad. He had indeed stated, that the Honourable
Gentleman seemed to him to have carried on
the measure with precipitancy; but that, he now
agreed, had,been sufficiently accounted for. As to
his. having insinuated that the Hon. Gentleman was
himself interested in the measure, he begged it to
be understood that he had' not insinuated, but had
expressly stated,- that he did net. think the situation
of a .Member of 3uch a-COmmittee and of a Mem- ,
ber of this House exaaly compatible.; and what
had been stated as to the scruples entertained
by the' Honourable- Gentleman - himself, as ,to
the 'propriety of the Bill' originating with him,
seemed- to anew that he himself was not exaCtly,
;satisfied -that too such charaaers ought to be united
in the same person. The Noble Lord opposite had
admitted that many of the Claims made against the
'Nabob had no existence in truth, of course,' that
there were enormous. frauds to guard against. He
was certain- that all the persons who at present
:formed the Court of Dire6tors were men' of ho-
nour and probity, but he could not say what they
Triight be twenty years hence. It -could not be
said there. was never an instance of a man's sacri-
'ficing the interest of any Corporate Body with which '
be Mte;ht be connected to individual feelings. All
he Contended fhr was, that the thing was possible.
---,As-ttrth validity Of many of :the debts, be Gad •to
`state a tea, that a house of great eminence lately ,
failed at Madras, among whose aSsets v: ere found
paper amounting to i o lacks of Pagodas, bf the
Nabob of Arcot's. The House ,bad employed the
money entrusted to them_ in_ buying up the paper of
Drince, which, from being a drug, worth next
'to nothing, and which, in all probability, did put
cost more than 2d in the pound, Would, if admitted
. without proper inquiry, produce a fortune to the
'holders. This, he tbougle,:leserved serious atten-
tion. He bad used the fi-eeciont, in making his
former Motion, to 'call the particular attention of
. ,ce;t3in individual Members to the business. He
now be;freq, addition, to request to
,it the atten-
tion and assistance of the Henourable Directors,
and particularly :of their respe&able Chairman,
whom he now saw in the House, who, be loped,
would, if possible, attend and give his assistance
in she discussion. As to an observation by an Hon.
Geatiseniab (Mr: Addington), he had to state, that
hoer did shy that he Would not in future attend
to Indian Affairs, although what he did say on
'that occasion had been misrepresented out of doors.
He had put what he then said ezni reeurd,•and to
that be referred. He then concluded by moving

able' from the said Nabobs, distinguishing' s in the

Mr. GRANT declared, that he had no, objthion
to any scrutiny of the kind. Nu person could be
lesS interested iu it, personally, than he and the
other Members of the Court of Direaers. The in-
terfeeing -in the business originally, was very far
from being a favourite with theDircetors; and if-they
'could 'they would have had nothing to do with
They 'only believed. that there was actually some-
thing
due to -the creditors, and all their wish was
that this should be Paid. Such was the, object of-
the Bill. That it could have the etfea of making
a rise in the value of the debts, he could not con-
ceive. The very reverse must have been the case.
It reduced the Annuities, at the outset, to the one-
half by making the interest six instead of 12.- per,
cent.; and the principal must have experienced ',a
proportional depreciation.
Mr. FaaNcts explained-,-when the. Motion was
agreed to.. .
On the Motion of Lord .CASTLEREAGH, there
-were ordered to be laid 'before the House an Ac-
-count of the Total Number of Men raised under the
Additional Force A6l, in. each week, down to the
last Returns, distinguishing those raised 'by 'Parish
-o"ffieett ; and' alsOdistinguishing, the Numbers raised
.in -England, Scotland? < and Ireland, respectively.

The linssiap Ambissadin has also declared, that if

Russian Army.

The Prussian Army which . was advancing

now only to occupy such parts of that territory, as
shall have been evacuated by the Swedes. On the
other band, His SWEDISH MAJESTY has declared,
that while 'Lauenburgh . remains under his protec-
tion, be shall consiar -any attack made upon it as
-much an at of hostility as if the attack were made
upon his own, dominions. It is evident that the KIN

against Sweden,- because it will inevitably involve'
him in a War with Russia; the 'consequences of
which, in the present state of Prussia, might be
most fatal to hint_
