,MARQUIS WELLESLEY.

The Eon Se-then went into the Corntnittee-lor the
further consideration oldie- ChArges against Marquis
Welteslu=air,,llosHansLin..the Chair.)'
The first witness examined was Mr.. Cooper, who
stated himself to. havl been one ,of the Supreme
Council in Bengal, in the year 18op,
and the result Jr' his evidence was, that the Marquis
Wellesley enjoyed 'the confidence of his Council to
as great an•extent,, and his condua had been as
highly approved by the Council, as that of any:. other
Governor-General ho had ever known in India, and,
he had been the confidence both of Marquis Corn-
wallis Sir John .Shore 3 and to a question put to
hint by Mr. Wallace, what he thought would be
the opinions of the higher order- of natives iti Oude,
when they. heard he had been accused of rapine, hy,
pocrisy, oppression, and murder 3 he answered,- be.
thought they would receive' the infOrmatibn with
seritirnehts oldie greatest sutprize and indignation.
Mr.. Riley, a Collector and a Magistrate in Oude,
was the Second-witness and the tirst,part-of his
evidence tended to shew that the inhabitants of
Oude had; in.two or three instances, shown a dispo-
sition to revolt. - • - "

The next witness called was Major Ousely. Af-
ter be had been a short time Ander examination,
Mr. PAtlst.t, put some questions relative to histnow-
ledge of the charatiter of the Nabob Vizier. Major
Qusely hoped he would not 'be obliged to disclose
all he knew with respect to the Nabob, a, lie
had been, and still. was, in a.confidential situation
Ander him. _

On this point a conversation took place between
Mr.
,Paull, Dr, Lawrence, Sit John Newport, Mi.
Wallace, and Sir Arthur Wellesley, It was, how-
ever, finally agreed, as a matter of favour to Major.
Ousely, that any question he did not like to answer
should not be pressed, and shoilld be expunged,
Major Ousely was then called. I,n, and hisnxami-
nation proceeded in both by„Mr, 'NULL anu Sir A.
WAMLESLEY.- ,Vrom his examination by the latter
Member, it appeared that. the splendot. and state. and
establishment of the Nabob
,of Oude were not infe-
rior at present to what they had been before the
Treaty, for though' his cavalcade may be less,' it was
more correa and appropriate..---On his re-examina-
tion by Mr. PAULL, he objected with submisSion to
answer, " Whether by subsequent events he
knew. that Marquis Wellesley had accused Mr.
Treves of using his 'influence with the Nabob,
contrary to the Marcialsriviews,"'On the ground;
that tbe answer might implicate a Gentleman now
absent in India. The Committee decided, that the'
question should be put ; and tin his re-appearance at
the Bar, the Witness stated,, that what he knew of
the case had come to his knowledge by a private
correspondence; and expressed his , hope that he
would not be pressed to answer the question. -On
this.point another long conversation took plaCe ; but
as the Gallery was cleared we could not coiled die
particulars. . We understood that theexamination
of Major Ousely was concluded whilst we were. ex
cluded, and that Mr: Johnstone was again examined;
after which the Chairinan reported progress, and
obtained leave to sit again on Monday.
Adjourned till Monday at Two o'Clock.

THzipereasing rise in the Stocks, founded upon,
rumours of a Pacific Negotiation between this Coun-
try and France,, will naturally induce our Readers,
to look to us. fpt some information on the, subje&.
That a Negotiation. may be on, foot we dc. not pre-

sume to deny; but it is certain that Administration
are too cautious to let their measures on this import-
ant subje& transpire. -We have often observed that
BONAPARTE must, of course, be anxious to &lea a
Negotiation, and, if possible, a Peace, because he
would thereby remove many impediments to
his career, and have a greater chance of do-
ing injury to this Country during- Peace, than .it
is in his power to accomplish in the present state of
affairs. -- , .

A,subjeCt of the most delicate kind has• for the
last two. days excited particular attention in. -the
higher circles, _and was yekterdaY ithrodUced in a
respeEtable Morning print. We were feilli".aWare gf
.11,that has been said on this interesting point, .but
felt great difficulty as to the proper mode of giving
-to our Readers an intimation of what *as going, Pr-
ward. One of our motives was certainly a full convic-
tion that the rumouredcharges had no,foundiltion in
truth. From all that has transpired on the subjeat, we
have the-most satisfaetory reasons to believe that our
eonviCtion was founded on the firmest grounds of in-
nocence, truth, and honour. But it is also with
great satisfaetion we find, that the person whose
feelings -would have been most • deeply affect- •
ed, if there had been dis Covered any probable
reason for accusation, or even suspicion, has given.
no countenance to the charge himself, though he
might properly conceive that on a matter of such
weighty interest it was necessary that some investi-,
gation should take place, The subjeEt itself is not
the mere produal of the present moment,• but oc.
casioned mysterious insinuations a few years ago,
and 'has only ,been revived by a recent tour into
the West. of England,' a circumstance of the most,
harmless Jkind; however it may have beep distorted
by malice, prejudice,- and misconception. The
business,
.howeyer, we ha" . reason to believe, is.
now entirely at rest, and .ve trust that it will never
more be resumed in obloquy in, a quarter whero
there are the highest claims to. respect, interest, and
admiration,

His NIAJESTY, the Duke of CANWRIDGE, Prin.
cesses AUGUSTA, 501,H14, and AMELIA, accompa,

A Council of the Cabinet Ministetii was xesterda*
afternooo held at the Foreign Offic.e, in DoN.vning.4
street, at which the LORD CHANCE:4OR,, Earl SrEN.T,
CER, Earl MOIRA, Lords GRENVILLE, HOwlcic, Lord
HENRY PETTY, Lord AAr. Fax, and Mr.
WINDHAM, were present.

After the Council, Dispatches were made up to be
forwarded to the Courts of St. Petersburgh and
Vienna, and two Messengers, Mr. Dr.ESSINqS and
Mr. PROLTDMAN, remained under orders.

A report has been circulated, that Lord fivercitat,!
SON is to be appointed Captain-General of India.
Whether the report be well founded, or not, `.VO
have not been able to ascertain ; but certainly his
Lordship's political . and military talents eminently
qualify him for the situation,.
• The People of North Berwick, as well as of se..
veral parts in Scotland, have manifested. great plea--
at the acquittal of Lord MELVILLE. The. Ma-
gistrates of that place, the Town Council, and many
Gentlemen of the neighbourhood, assembled in the
Town-Hall, On Wednesday last, for the purpose of
mutual congratulation on the occasion. The Vo-.
lunteers also paraded on this event, and fired three
yollies in honour of the Noble Defendant, with a
corre6tnesA equal to. what rnig:ht have beets expected
from the most experienced veterans.

We are sorry, to learn, that the Duke of
MOND is at present SO much indisposed as. to excite
serious apprehensions,
Yesterday a Court of Direct ors was held at the
East India House, when Cap:ail) MACINTOSH was
sworn into the command of the Ship Union, destined
to Madras and Bengal.

The Pia-ture. of the Village Politicians, which
afrords' such an . admirable proof of the talents of
WILKIE, the young Scotch Artist, was originally.
purchased for ten guineas by the Earl of MANSFIELD.
If the Noble. Lord were inclined to engage in pitiure-
dealixg, he might dispose of this work for ten times
the sum;. such is the increased popularity of the in-
genious Artist.

The Marquis of STAFFORD liberally opens' his
magnificent house twice a week to afford the .(,site
world and the admirers of the Arts an 'opportunity
of seeing his fine ColleEtion of PiEtures. Mr. llEs.
E‘TFANS also does the same, and his Coliezti a is
one of the very best in this Country.
Among the changes of this wonderful world it will ,
not soon be forgotten, that twelve years since, the two
persons, now called Emperor of France and King of
Naples, were lodging together in one Parisian garret
at a livre per week, and two of the Princesses, their
sisters, had no more than one gown between them at,
Marseilles, in consequence of which the inhabitants
of that place were ❑ever 'favoured with the ,presence
of both at the same Promenade. Such has been the
fate of this family out of many thousands, who, aim-
ing at, the same distindion, were stopped. short by
the Guillotine..
