MARQUIS WELLESLEY and M. PAULL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR-The attention of yotir numerous-Readers-is
desired to the following fads, takes from,authentic
letters and other documents drawn up by -Mr.
PAum., and ,to the consequences‘to'betfterwaris
deduced from-them. .

:First, He Was a diligent !)bservdr of the political
and military transa&ions or MarCilli'WEilEtwe
d4ring his government of clur Possessions in the East
Indies-, as, appears by thejollOwing passage of his
letter to Lord,,FoLKESTONg, dated;the ,cioth of Ofto
1806, wherein he says, that..‘.' having, during
several years residence in India, been an eye-witness
of many of those a&s of Lord WELLESLEY which
have recently been developed -to. the nation, 'and
ktying formed kresolution ,to make them the sub-
jei or legal investigation.—He forthiS PurpOie ob-
taMed "a sear inlParliament.Cobbetfe Weekly Pal.
Beg. Oa. 25, 1806.
Secondly. That as a, diligent observer of ' the a&s
of the late Gl4verbor-General, the following -faCts;
stated in his own doeuthehts, had home to his full
knowledge
,srt'earlyas the very beginning of Di:
,
tembar • • -•-•

badacquired knoWledge, in general terms,
that in the two years preceding 1802 the Durbat
Charges of Marquis WELLEsLey.,(which may be
called the Civil List of the GOvernor-General) had,
fr:),;) various causes, been greatly, increa.sed, although
he cal4-!it not then -know,' the exa& rate of that in-
crease, :itch .must have ,excee4d.'/41.'per cent.
es appears, by his. First
.(;Itarge again 'it Marquis WEL-
LESLEY' untitled money, IN g), printed by order of
the Cointhons:

2dly, That immediately on his xeturn to the capi- '
tal of Oude (Locknow), alter his " short absence
in Europe," and considerably' before Dec. 1802, he,
exercising his diligent observation, obtained certain
knowledge of the cession, in perpetuity; -of one-
half of the- territories of the 'Nabob of that Pro-
vince, which was made to the Eaorindia 'Company
by the treaty dated Nov. 1501 ; mentioned in his
charge against the Marquis tor.his- transaaionS
Oude, printed' by_ order of the House. And, in
consequence of that knowledge, , he immediately
formed the opinion of the justice ox injustice of the
treaty; which now holds, whatever that may be.
3d, That it is highly probable that he then was
fully acquainted with the Cession of the Province
of Ferru4abid " in perpett9l sovereignty to the
East India Company," as' stated by hint-in- the
charge relating thereto, printed by order of the
house, (p. 4th). And that he had, prior to Decem-
ber 1802, formed the same idea of the justice or in-
justice of the treaty which be now entertains.
Thirdly, That having, by the diligent observation
he declares himself to have given to the subject,
formed the very opinions he now entertains of the
general chara4er of the Marquis, in a letter to him,
dated from LucknOw, Dec. 5, 1802, printed by or-
der of the House, he expresses to him his sense,
that " although engaged in-the affairs of a mighty
Empire, he was, however, well aware that the con-
cerns of an humble individual were not beneath His

•
Excellency's notice." He gives his testimony to
" that excessive, wise, liberal, and enlightened po-
,_ 'bey which marked every as of the administration of
HIS Excellency, to whom no man ever complained
in vain that complained with justice ;" and Mr.
PA Liu. concludes his letter to him with professions
of " an indelible sense of past obligation, with
great considerations and of the highest respea."—
Th se praises_ can be applicable only to one of
the most excellent of Governors ; and at the
time they were written, Mr. PAULL'S opinions,
with respect to the justice or injustice of the condua
of the Marquis in Oude, were the same as they have
been at any time since ; and there is a probability
falling little short of certainty, that the like must be
true of his decisions on the merits of the measures
pursued in Ferruckabad, and the economy or' pro-
fusion of his Durbar charges to the end of 1801.
Fourthly, In his Letter to Lord FOLKESTONE on
the 20th of October, printed in the Political Regi-
ster of that week (p. 653), speaking of the condit
of Lord WELLESLEY towards the Nabob and coun-
try of Oude, as well as towards the other Princes of
Hindostan,Mr.PAULL says, that his" acts of aggres-
sion have far surpassed4hose of that Enemy against
whose violations of public laW we are endea-
vouring, and justly endeavouring, to excite the
indignation and hostility of the world ;" and dint
4‘ these aggressions have rendered the British name

" hatefuriii lTndia:" hereby charging ..him with a
tyranny more vile than'that.of NAPOLEON. And it 4
his charges•.against him for hii tranmelions in Oude
and Firruckabad;-.the cenchiSions of both run in the
same terms. In each Mr. PAULL accuses him of
" having been wholly unmindful of his solemn en-
gagemaats-of-..duty-to the. East India C_n_rnpany, to
his Sovereign, and to his Country ; daringly con-_
temning the Parliament, the King, and the Laws,
and dishonouring the British nation and name."—
(jharges, pages 1,3, and b.)* That in a time of ex-
treme distress; his Durbar charges " exceeded, by
.ipo,oool. ayear, -the Most profuse expenditure of
any of his predecessors ;" (Part. Deb. Cobbett's
Paul Speech, march •17, 1806) and that he was
guilty "of applying large sums of public money to
his Own use, for his own convenience, his own
°.show, and splendour,"
Sudh •Charges'aii-i applicable to'no one but a faith- -,
less and execrable tytant; Ofthe foundations-of •
htis fatting Stieh a judgment, Mr. PAux.r; evidently
produceS the Treaty with the Nabob of Oude as.
the strongest ; and if he ever did a&ually form it,
it must have been before December 1802, and.al-
- roost inirnedttely upon his- return to that country.
The diligent observer ,of the measures of ,the Mit
tjuisWELL-sum, whet is doubtless 'a rnan of
gal, ability., -could: not:have _remained long in the
4ountry without .a.firrn, and unalterable decision on
the justice or injustice of a recent Treaty, whereby.
Tie half of it had-changed masters, which still must

tal: C. - - • ,

Lo' D'o
MON DAY, NOVEMBER 10 ,1806:-

Tilts morning a Gotienkurgh arrwcili
brings no intelligence; respeaiiig the opeirationk of
• , . . ,
the Armies. I.Ve find, however, a, repetition of re-
ports, to which we alluded on SatUrday, of the ttea-
cheiy of some of the Officers it 7 the- Prussian.. ger-.
vice. We regret very much that at such an interest-.
ing crisis as the present we should be unable -to
obtain any authentic intelligence from the Continent.
The accounts which we have lately received are in
general so confused and unconneeted,- that it is f-
ficult' to form any opinion upon them. In. one im-
portant faa, however, they all agree, viz, that the
French were advancing with the utmost rapidity
towards the shores of the Baltic, with ,the view
of cutting off the retreat of that }mit of the
Prussian Army that was endeavouring to reach
the Oder. But the French have another very
important obje& in view by this movement, and
that is, to obtain the command of the navigation
of the Elbe and the Weser, and of course to exclude
British Vessels from them. We are happy, how-
ever, to find, that in consequence of 'the time-
ly precautions which have been taken, very
few, if any, of our Merchantmen will fall into
their hands. It is singular that we have yet re-
ceived no authentic account of the corps under the
command of the Duke of BiltiNswtoc. OEt.s and
the Duke of WEIMAR., because it must either have
eifeCted its retreat, or had a battle with the French
by the latter end of last month. The French, in

point of time, had considerabl✓ the advantage ; and

if they had a sufficiet)t force they could, olcorase, pre-
vent-the retreat of the Prussians. Some of the accounts
state, that the Prench had determined to bombard
Stettin ; and it is even said that a Corps had been
aziered to take possession of Swedish Pomerania.
--That ScritirnaTE--will wrest -Pomerania from the
KING of e SwEpt4,l Vhe,shotild be ultimately suc-
cessful, there can he no doubt ; but under the,
present cirCuttsances; 'we• da-ynat think that he
would venture to detach so large a force as would
be necestary for
.the conquest .of Pomerania-7-r
We are sorry to. find that no d'atitit4s.have been
received, upon which implicit relianyi:cancbe placed,
of the progress of the Russian_ Aimy. It is confi-
dently reported, that, a Corps ofl 5 or 20,0ti0
Rus-
sians have reached the panks of the Oder, but of the
,approach of the main body we have no certain lit-
telligence.

The following are the`only articles of intelligence
brought by the Mail : •
At

from Stralsund,
,Steitin,. Seca Metition:tbei battle of
Auerstadt as ,having been obtained, chiefly by trea-
chery. Nothing cotild,exceed the=determin ed bravery
with which the Prnssiat‘s Wight.- Animated by the
presence of their King and the • venerable Duke .of
BRUNSWICK, evety inch of ground-was contested;
and notwithstanding the superior numbers of the
French, they, would .Certainly have been driven off
the field but for the perfidy of General -, who
presented an opening an; the Corps which he COM-
rn' anded, into which the Enemy poured a column
of Infantry, acid getting into the rear of the Prussian
Army, 'threw it into confusion. He is now under
arrest, as well. as three other Officers suspeEted* of
the same eondth, 'an& will be- brought to a Court
Martial' as :sbori as One can be held. I have beard
