With respeCt to' one. matter 'of charge the Hon.,
Gentlenlaii Meatit to bring forward, the, appointment
of Mr. Henry Wellesley, to preside over the adjust-
them of die affairs at Qude, lest the House should
conceive that this was a vele- profitable appointment
given by the Marquis' to his brother, he theught it
necessary to state that the appeintnient .was made
_to hagen the Negotiations, which were going on very
• slowly, a service which Mr.:Wellesley executed. in
the most satisfatioey manner, without any other
consideration than his salary as Secretory to the. GO-
vernor-General, and with an assiduity that impaired
his health. as to rouder it neceseary for him to re-
turn
to Etteape. .
