e.itpbtition of the nesolutionSi Ilia ,ordship
moved, " That the said Resolutions, as se,:t tiji
by.the House of Conimons,.be agreed to by heir
Lordships.
The Resolutions were then re!;ularly read by
the Noble Chairman; and; in the first iriittincti
sub sileioie); tigded]td by the t7.lmnnittee.-
'The Earl of LAuDiltriAtEj though he did not
oppose.the Resolutions in the present. 19,tatite ;
wished their Lord4ips to underOanti, that in h:s
opinion: no person who knew or understood. Any
thing of the nature of India, could assent to one
of them.

The 'Marquis of LANsriowNE 6011kr,Itt that in
the present state of the Session it wars
,impossible
the subject could be. adequately considered:
Lord GRENVILLE expressed a similar sentiment,
mid added, tlwt his sense of public duty restrained
hhii trout entering into the discussion at such
period of the sesswn.

he Earl cif .LAUDERDALE, adverting to the Res
solution for providing a Clerical E,tablish went in
India, observed, that if 'an- enumeration were to
be made, the individual' members of. the Church
of Scotland, or Presbyterians, would be found
still more numerous ; and stated his intention to
propose' a Resolittion with a view of prov ding
a-Clerical Establishment for the Church of Scot-
land, as well as for that of the Episcopal Church
•of England and Ireland ;—a od further, that provk
sion should be made out of the teirttorial roved,
Iltle3, of India; for the maintsuance of the Clergy-
uteri of the Scots Church so appointed.
The. House having resumed—
The Earl of LI VI;:lt1,601, moved, that the Report
of the Committee be received, to-morrow.
The Marqiiis of .I.snowNE said, he should
take the opportunity, the only one perhaps he
should have, of tuakitig a few remarks,. on the
subject—which he meant to' conclude by moving,
that the farther consideration of the Report should
be deferred, instead of to-morrow, to that day
three months, with the view only of deferring the
diicassion of the subject until the next Session of
Parliament. ;Ilse Noble Marquis then made UNA.. ,
riety of remarks indicative of a very different view,
in most resras of the subject, front that taken
by the Noble Earl who proposed the Illsolutiont.
He adverted prominently on the subject coining
for Ward iii a new !Tittle, respecting which their
Lordships had very tar from adequate illormation
to enlighten their views upon it ; and with respect
to the snperlativc importance of the snbject,, he
deemed it one of, the greatest questions that ever
fell to the lot of legislation to determine ; and
thought that the Empire of India must in future
constitute either the shade or the glory of this
country. His Lordship concluded by moving, in
above.stated.

Viscount MELVILLE, in an.able and intelligent
speech, replied to the leading ,objections of the
Noble Marquis, who, he said, argued as if the
present was the first time, 'or even the first ses-
. •
ses-
sion the subject had been brought before their
Lordships : he must have well-known, that the
substance of the Resolutions, nay, the resolutions
almost literally, were on the table of the House
for several months past. The Noble Marquis also
must know that an open Committee of their Lord-
ships had considered of, and 4k:tam:fled evidence
in detail upon the Resoluticusi and his.,QWI) con,
vietiOn Was, that moy wt, att:tiow in possession
of information amply sutliciencto.enable them to
form a final decision upon the subject.
The Earl of LAVDenzw.s, a speech of con.
siderlide Je:•gth, supported the objection* of the
N. Marquis, and entered into a detailed %iew-
of the slava, in which he pointedly.cemiuted
the system adopted by.the 'East India company.
He entered into a variety of calculations to shew
what he deemed the precarious and depressed state
of the finances of the Company, Which he argued
were likely to become burthensome to this coun-
try. Either with respect to their territorial Go-
vernment, or commercial management, he disap-
proved of the system pursued. by the Company—
to whom he objected principally to what they
called the esicellence of . their system, which was
in fact
.that of anti-colonization, and he should
like to hear abstract reasons assigned, why the
whole of India could not be governed by the Le-
gislature and Government of this country, with-
out the assistance of 24 Gentlemen in Leadenhall-
street. •

After a few words from Lord. CLANCAR'X'Y,
Lord G RENVILi.E spoke at some length in favour
of the amendment. He was so much convinced
of the impropriety of deciding the question (lur-
ing the present Session, that he declared that if
the amendment was rejected, he would not inter-
fere any more in the matter.

The Earl of LIVEriPOOL replied, every reason
was against delay; 'every argutneut in favour of
immediate decision.

After some conversation between • Lord Mel-
ville, the Earl of .13uckinghatushire, and Lord
Grenville, the House divided on the original
question.
