4DDITIONAL FORCE ACT. • • -
The Earl of DARNLEY reminded their Lordships;
that he had given notice on the first day of the Ses-.
sion-of his intention to move fore an .Account of the
Number of:Men raised under the Additional Force
A&. In consequence,,, however, of the present stat4'-
of affairs, ,he should- at least suspend his intended
Motion. He ceuldnot help, at the same time, ex-
pressing his ,satisfaaion te the; House, that he had
been the first person in Parliament who had moved
for the repeal of that Ad, which was now universally
considered as inefficient.
INTENDED VOTE OF TIIANICS. •
Lord HA WICESBURY advetted to the-notice he
had given of his intention to, more a VoN:.' 'Of
Thanks to Lord COLLINVA'OO6, and the Ofiicer,3
and Men under his command. He had, he said, taken
the first opportunity, namely, 'the day on which
Parliament assembled, of giving notice of his in-
tention to .make such a Motion, -and he trusted
the House•would • not consider him as wanting in
respell or attention to their Lordships in not at-
ending on Friday, the- day on which he had
given _ notice of his intentiou to make the ' 3,16
tion, as he was at • that time engaged in important-
business. He now attended to give-notice of a day"
for bringing forward the Motion--.to which he had
alluded, arid-he .7•Would beg:leave to name to-rilorrow
for that purpose; for which .day he moved that their
Lordships should be summoned. s •
The. Duke of CLARENCE expressed -his unwil-
lingness to take the business out of the hands of the
Noble Lord, particularly after that Noble- Lord had.
given notice of his-intention- to move the Vote of
Thanksto-morrove. He had, however, intended,
in consequence of the postponement of this Motion
on Friday,. to have himself moved a Vote of Thanks
to-those gallant persons who-were under. the corn.
mand of the late Viscount NELSON at the period of
the late glorious Vidory. To this step he was
peiled by two motives ; the fir,t arising from ptiblie
considerations; inasmuch as he. thought that no time
ought to be lost in -discharging the debt of gratitude
due frOM the Country to those brave individuals who
were instrumental, under the command of the late
ever to-be-lamented .NELSON in obtaining a most
glorious Vi&ory. His second was a private motive,
resulting from remembrances which deeply alfeaed,
his feelings. He:had been honoured with the friend--
hip-of the late Viscount NELSON for twenty-three.
years out of the forty-seven which that-Hero lived,
and had been as intimate with him, he might sat
as a brother. These considerationS would have in-'
duced him to bring forward, _willout delay, Mo-
tion for a Vote of Thanks ; but as the Noble Lord
had giveri notice of his lntention- to .bring forward.
that Motion to-morrow, he should, not press the.
subje& any further.
The Motion for summoning their Loidships for
to-morrow was agreed to.

FOREMN_TREATIES.
Lord MULGRAVE said, he ho intended to
have laid before their Lordships this day, by -His
Majesty's cornmand; Copies of the Treaties entered.
into between this Country and Russia and Sweden ;
nor Was he sure that they might not be ready to be
presented to the House this evening. The'reasoir
that they were riot now ready, arose from the Severe
indisposition of a person employed in copying them,
which he' was not aware of till this morning, other-
wise he he would have put them into other hands.
He thought, however; that it would better suit their
Lordships' convenience to have them presented to-.
morrow ; and, therefore, he gave notice that he
should to-morrow lay them before the House.--=l,

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
,MONDAY, JAN% 27.

Mr. ii:FFERY: gave notice ofd Motion to-morrow,
That the Order of . the 22d, `.for printing certain(
Papers, should be discharged.
t INDIA AFFAIRS.

Mr. PAUL moved; That the Papers_ presented to
the House On Saturday last; relative to the Nabob of
Oude, should be printed.—Ordered.
Mr. PAUL then rose, for the purpose of submit-
ting the Motion of which he had given notice on a
former day, to' the House. As he had reason to
think that no objeaion would be made to the Ft,
due-bon Of the Papers he meant to move for, it
would not.be necessary for him to occupy the time
of the House by any, introduory.observations.—
Thus much, however, he felt himself bound to state;
that as soon as the Ripers already ordered, and those
he should in this initance mdive for; should be
printed, he should fix as- early a day as possible for
submitting to the Hotise, vertalim,, one of the
charges he propOsed to prefet against Marquis WEL-
LESLEY. The Hon. Gentleman then read a string
of Motions for " Copies of the COrrespoadenbe
tweeri Marquis 'C6RNWALLIS and' the Nabob of
Oude, other Native Powers, and the Court'of Di-
reaors ; as also of the Correspondence of Marquis.
WELLESLEY With the-Native Powers, with the Bri-
tish Qfficers employed in India, and.with.the Court
of Dircaof*, on the Affairs of India." ,

M. 117H1TSHED KEENE bad no difficulty in-
seconding ,the Motion of the Hon., Gentleman. -.4 •
was desirable thk Parliament should be put in pos-,
session of everi document that could throw a light
on the condu& of person's employed in high and
portant Official Situations- He could not entertain
any doubt of the perfe& purity of the motives which
inducel the Hon.. Member to bring:forward his MO-
tic: 1•., and unshir such cittumstance4, both the House. •

and the Country were Liaa ler so co'•us;.
tie was sure that the Hon. Gentleman, and those
who brought forward such Motions, looked only to
the interests of the Country. nut, at the same
time that he Was ready to allos them every credit
for the teitude of their motives, he could not al-,
together divest himself/of an idea of the possibility
Of men's minds being biassed under particular
curnstances, and in consequence of certain situa-
*ions. He felt, htiwever, no objection to ,:second
the, Hon. Gentleman's Motions.
PA UL' (with some warmth) disclaimed any
soit of connexion with the -Nabob of -Oude, with
whom, or any other' Native PoWer of India, he had
nut t communication than he had with the Em-
peror of Fiance on this subject. His conduct was
founded on principles which he was not ashamed to
-OWN, and should-never depart from ; and.iu bring-
ing
forward charges against Marquis WELLESLEY
lie was guided by a sense of public duty against a
person whom he considered as,a great public delin-
quent.
On the first Motion being put from the Chair,
Sir T. T. METCALF said, that similar Motions
o those now brought forward had led to nothing
but great trouble ..and expellee. He trusted, there-
fore, that the House would pause before: it would
consent to grant Papers, under such circumstances,
to any individual, however reapeetabie he may be
was one obje&ion he felt to the Motiorp.of the
Hon. Gentleman. There vas another too,. which
equally weighed within his. mind.' The Papers that
had already been produced bad got into the hands
0' translators, through whom the Freuch. -Govern-
ment had obtained the information they contained ;
circumstance.that had proved inateriahy prejudicial
to the interests of the Company. The importance
Of it to the French Government was such,. that Bo-
naparte would have sacrificed hal(the revenues '9f
France to obtain it. Besides, he would ask, whether '
the present was a proper time to agitate such ques-
tions ? Under the influence of-these objeections, he
should feel it his duty to divide the House. When
a Member was conscious of being ,aetnated by a
sense of duty, he should not be asilanted to avow
his feelings. The Hon. Gentleman had said, that,
the Papers, when produced, would criminate the
tesiduCt of the Noble Marquis ; but this he begged
leave to deny, as he was convinced in his conscience
chat no one of them would affect the public or pri-
vate charaaer of that Noble Lord ; and if it were
possible for him to attend in that House, he was
sere he would say in reply to the Motions, " Give
the Papers." Besides it would have the most dan-
gerous effea if it should be thought. on the Conti-
Tient of India that all the Treaties and Engagements
that had been entered into with the Native Powers,
could be rescinded by a Vote of Parliament. The
lion. Member had disclaimed any connexion with
the Nabob of Oude, and yet lie bad seen that Po-
tentate later than any other Member of that House.
It was certainly competent to Parliament to inquire
into the conduct of Marquis WELLESLZY but this
was not the time, and for all these reasons he should
certainly take the sense of the House.

Mr. FRANCIS hail not been in the House when
the Motions were proposed; but as -in adverting to
the • mischiefs that had arisen from similar notions,
the Hon. Baronet seemed to allude to those made
by himself, he felt, it petvssary to say a few words.
If any mischief had arisen from the produaion of
the Papers he had moved. for., it was chargeable only
on the Board of Controul, which bad the power of
deciding which of them might be produced with
safety, and was at liberty to withhold such as could
not be published consistently with the public inte-
rest. As to the objeaion respe&ing the expenee
that would attend the printing -the Papers moved for,
it might have some weight with vulgar minds; but
it was na to be'tolerated in that House, when an
Inquiry was, to be instituted respeaing the.manage-
nrient of the Affairs of India, the revenuos of which
were estimated at fifteen millions. With respea to
his own opinion of Marquis WELLESL.E.Y'S
he had stated it to the House and to. the Country,
.and saw no reason to alter it. He was I.lot to be
awed or intimidated into an abandonment of his
principles. The on. Baronet had stated, that con-
sJderable danger arose from the intelligence derived
to the Enemy from the puolication of these Papers ;
but he was of opinion, that the- Enemy had gained
more information from M.irquis WV LLESLEY's inter-
cepted Correspondence, which had.been published
In the Moniteur, and afterwards translated into all
the London Papers, from which only the public ob-
tained the. Information, though the contents of the
Correspondence ought to have been hing before
transmitted diret to the Governors. of the India
Compny. He was himself not aware of any dan-
ger that could he apprehended from the produ&ion
of the Papers ; and that there had been no objeaion
felt to granting them on that score, .he appealed -to
the-declaration of the Noble Lord ,who is, or lately
was, at the head of the Board of Controul. That
Noble Lord had said -that he saw no possible objec-.
tion to their being produced..
Mr. PAUL also stated, that Lord ,OASTLEREAGH
had intimated to him that he saw no-posSible objec-
tion to his Motion. _

Mr. WALLACE confirmed the statement of the
Hon. Gentleman respe&ing the Adoration of his
Noble Friend, and added, that it was the wish of
every Member of the Board of 'Controul to grant
every document that might be produced consi,,tent-
ly with' a regard to public duty, and to the interest
of the Company.

Sir T. 7'. METC4LF withdrew his opposition,
and the Motions were selkrally agreed to, with the
exception of a verbal, amendment in one, at the
suggestion of Mr. lArm4,AcE, fur the omission of a
sl,,knication of an item of expence for secret, ser-
vices, which he affirmed had never existed.
