" !AMES PAULL."

Aeaders, tedors, judge of this man from his own
mouth :...what is now become of that excessive wise,
lzlei al, anddnlightened ? .Mr. Paull can••
not plead ignorance ; he, was on the scene where
the transaaioni4oOk place; and twelye montlis had
elapsed bet Ween the cession of terrifp—ry and the dqte
of Mr. Paull's letter.' Yet he now accuses of the
Most atrocious oppression him N whom no man,
who cimplained„with justice ever coniplained in vain
The. indelible gratitude of this Paull proVes to be
the niost envenomed rancour. Him whom he one
• •
day, avowed to he the most just of men, the next
day ho denounces as the most cruel ! Which of his
allegatipns are we To believe ? Why, that which he
is able to prove--Oertainly pot that 'which he only
asserts.

Mr. Paull, well aware that . the House of Com;-
mons would require other evidence of faas than his
mere declaration, summoned oral evidence to the
bar of the House; to prove the Charge which he had
laid on the table respeding Oude; for this purpose
he called the most unexceptionable witnesses, name-
ly, Lord Teigtunouth, late Governor-General 'of In-
dia ; 'Mr. Cowper, late a Supreme CounUlor in
Bengal i Sir A. Clarke, late Commander in Chi,ef,
and temporary Governor-General ; Sir James Craig,
Major Ouseley, who was Aid-de-Camp and the colt-
fidential friend of the Nabob of. Oude at the very
time the transaaions alluded tb, took place--:-when,
strange to tell, every one oe rite before.-:MentiOned
witnesses, as well as several others, instead of sub-
stantiating the whole or any part of the charge pre-
ferred by 1)flr. Paull, gave a
,flat contradiOion to
every fa& that he had asserted ; and furnished the
House with a body of evidence, such as, I believe,
never was before adduced, in any Court by an ac-
cuser., In ninetY-eight folio pages, entitled, Mi-
nutes of Ervidence on the Oude Charge, there is not
only:no criminality proved,against Lord Wellesley)
but almost every page flatly falsifies Mr. Paull:--=•--
It would be a tedious task, brother Ele&ors, were
I to enumerate the several instances of falsehood
which Mr. Paull leas proved against himself: both
the Charge and the .Y.vidence are printed, and in
the hands of every Member of the House of
•Commons : read them, and , then say what sort
of a man this is who aspires to be our Ilepre-!,
sentative. •

But, as if the full measure oof turpitude was yet
incomplete, the papers produced by Mr. Paull sup-
ply another instance of this Gentleman's contempt
of that fame which -the world usually prizes, such
as I think can hardly be paralleled in the records of
human depravity. Colonel Scott, the British Resi-
dent at Lucknow, who had served his Country
abroad for more than thirty years, Mr. Paull's
Friend, Patron, Host, and Protector, died in the
discharge of a-most arduous duty, and left a repti-
tati6n tor•talents and integrity that will lonk° be re-
membered with. honour—yet the memory of this
good and eminent man, as if the contrast of cha-
racter to leis own excited Mr. Paull's indignation, is
foully and falsely traduced, iu,the Charge preferred
against the 'Noble Marquis. Forgetful of every
, past obligation, regardless ,of -the reverence due to
the dead, Mr.. Paull attempts to stigmatize the de-
ceased Colonel;''by accusing him with being the ab-
je& tool of oppression--r-the unworthy instrument
_of another's tyranny. Happily there was in the
House of Commons A. 'Gentleman well-acquainted
with the merits of Colonel' Scott, who called on
Mr. Paull's own Witnesses to verify the charaaer
given by Mr. Paull.'
