fle: honourable; if c.onstitu by the undue- in-
"ttence of power' and corruption : nor could- the
!Pantry itself be free, if robbed' of its hereditary
iiight franchise-=--so that-the charges in their ge-
ne nature go to question the purity of choice
"nich made that 'House, and the existence of those
!Irivileges which were to maintain. it. Thinking
as he did; of the importance of that Paper, he
Old not conceal his surprise that it had not long
.I,relore that period been presented to the House.—
" hen it was' considered' that it was the pratlice of'
that House to postpone all other kinds of considera-
t
Ivios to the paramouet one of its privileges ; when
't Was considered that the Honourable Member who
Presented this Petition must have known these-
rir'os nature of the charges it contained ; w hen it is
e°nsidered that every Member having charges to
fa,J(lduce involving the 'privileges of that House, has
ydispatoh to be his first duty in submitting such
charges to that House, it would be difficult to re-
concile a strut sense of Parliamentary duty with the
'hedgediti necessity for delay. The Honourable
;ember who spoke last panegyrised the candid
and honourable way in which. there had been
plain Statement of 'avow:, charges explicitly
:id before the House.' . He, for his part,
mould hesitate to term a. charge candid, merely be-
t:iose it was a gross one, but ould rather feel it his
e UtY to look for evidence in some- degree propor-
lonate to the chara&er of the accusation ; bur hoW-
Zer candid or honourable it may be to bring such
candid

honourable to circulate industriously through The
e-,,
into
rumours calculated to hurry the unthinking

ItTP°M their accusers yet delayedao Charge before
Proper and recognized Tribunal.' ;Did the Hon.
louse
think it very candid to present to that
ll'3.tise a Paper reflecting in the most serious manner
irn a Member of that House, without giving that
."vetlaber the slightest intimation such a process,
though such a notice was warranted, or rather re-
tred, by all the usages of Parliament ? He should

r'Ped that if the charges therein contained were

MUTINY AT VEI.LORE.

ohis Right Honourable Friend at the head of the
rd of Controul—Whettier he had received any
authentic intelligence relative to the late unhappy
Lnti9y at Vellere, and its much-to-be-lamented
,Unbeqtknces ? Now that a new Governor and Com-
;7ancler in' Chief were going out, it would be ad-
L'snable that they should have, previous to their de-
parture, their instru&ions relative to the wretched
'offerers both among the Native and British troops.
Mr. TIERNEY said, that be was not the least
"ttrprised at the anxiety expressed by his Honour-
4Ole Friend, and should be; glad to give- him every
'III-urination upon the subject ; but not having re-
teived any official accounts as yet, it %‘ as impossible
him to give a satisfadory answer. He could not,.
see the propriety of detaining the Officers
until such intelligence should 'arrive.
