ed to demonstrate, by Various extratis from the
papers, that the, perfidy of the Nabob was clearly
established - by them. The .Nabob, it appcared
lsy One of the papers, had stated to Tippoo, that,
when at occasion should offer he would manifest
his fidelity, and he had realised that promise when
the war after Wards broke out, by retarding its ope-
rations. The Nabob could not expeet all the pro-,
teetion of a sublet with all the immunities of at, in-,
dependent Prince, The charges had not been brought
home tgainst•Oindut Ui Onirah, because it was not
deeined right to disturb his latter moments, but all
the rights which the Company bad upon him de-
scended. upon his successor. This opinion was
'founded on the authority of Mr. Domat, who
stated that the engageinents and • the duty of
Making reparation for the crimes or offences of
a predecessor descended tVoll his heir, even though
'the predecessor should not have been convieled
or accused. The Right Honourable Gentleman
then proceeded to sbew what had been the situation
of the Carnatic ptevious to ibis-change, from the
letters of Lord_Hobart from Trichonopoly, and upon
'the testimony of Sir Eyre Coate, Lord Cornwallis,
and every liberal and upright person who had any
opportunity of knowing it, and was not interested in
the continuance of the abuses and corruptions which
prevailed there. He quoted the authority of she,
Nabob himself to that part, by sliming that he had
been prevented by the intrigues of his Ministers and
European advisers from acceding to the modification
of the Treaty proposed by Lord Hobart. The Right
Hon. Gentleman then paid a merited tribute to the
merits and services of Mareuis•Wellesley, whose
'Measures had added not so much to British territory,
but to the splendour of the British military charac-
ter ill India, and concluded by moving the pre-
vious question upon the first Resolution, and de-
clared his intention to move a direct negative UpOu
the others.
Lord. AIICtIfBALD asstivrosi.contended that the
Nabob's her and grandfather had lived and died in
amity with die British Gevernment, .aesl that by the
treaty of I 792, the Nabob was not precluded from
any but a political' association or correspondence
with the Native Powers ; nu one at of had
been ,cOmmitted'by the Nabob, nor had he been
proved in any instance to, have violated his inigage:
tnents with the CoMpany. He could trot nrre
`the view of , this stabjea, taken by the Right He-
-nourable Gentleman who had just sat down, bxause
it appeared By the Papers, that the General Guvern-
.
ment, in India bad the intention to annex the Na
.1104'SstertilprieS to those of the East India Company',
long before any charge of perfidy was iMputed to
'him. What must hav e been the' fidelity oh' the Na-
bob, if the G6vertar-General could not from the
year 1798 to 1801, find any pretext for the usnrpa-
ti+3ll ud his territories, for a usurpation be considered

without hesitation. But this was an Occasion that

which ought to belong to alio tiuusey-and it' Parlia-

impossible that the people should look up to that
House with the satne veneration, or that the Charac-

Major ALLO went into a general defence of the
condat of the British Governors in India tor the la',t
twenty years, and.particularly approved of the pro-
eeedings of Lord Wellesley., He vindicated the con-
duet of Lord Wellesley 'in the case before the House,
by citing the opinions of Lord Macartney on the ar,
rangement wit h the :Nabob Mohammed My. The
Nabob was bound to hold no correspondence with
the Native Princes • and, in virtue of this obligation,
he always sent' his letters to Madra., for the insi.,,e-
tion of the British Government. This correspotid•
ence was clandestine, and contrary to the Treaty of
'O2. Without the assignment of the military
and firvincial power, it was impossible that the
Company or the Nabob should be sale. Prom his
knewledge of the Carnatic, in' a survey that he 'had
been etbployed to make, he could say positively that
,I,01)ie Were happy under the Government of
the Company, and Wretched under the Government
of the Nabob. -
