DESPATCHES FROM INDIA.

The Earl of DERBY—I think it right to inform the
house that in the course of the morning we have received
despatches of importance from India, containing, among
other things, representations from Sir J. Outram, with
reference to Lord Canning's proclamation, and also Lord
Canning's reasons for issuing that proclamation. Under
ordinary circumstances I should have thought it doubtful
whether papers containing a discussion of matters
of policy between two high officers of the Crown in India
should be !ail before Parliament, but as they had al
ready been laid before the Court of Directors, and as the
course pursued by Lord Canning had been subjected to
much comment, I think it would be most unjust to
that noble lord if his own reasons in his own words for
issuing the proclamation should not be given. I
should have been glad to have laid the papers on the
table this evening, but they are now actually being
copied, and I hope to lay them before your lordships to-
morrow.
Earl GRANVILLE said if the papers were
laid on the table to-morrow, and the house
should then adjourn immediately after, they would
be of little use. He thought a motion for the production
should be made, and thus the papers could be in the
hands of their lordships early to-morrow.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH—That course has
fregmnitlyjnen adopted in this. house, and I think it
absolutely necessary that those papers should be in the
possession of the House of Commons before it conaes to
the vote to-morrow. _ _

The Earl of DERBY—I am equally anxious that the
House of Cimmons should have the papers before they
come to a vote. I shall, therefore, move that copies of
the despatches received from India containing the
grounds on which Lord Canning issued the proclama•
tion, be produced. I cannot mention the exact terms.
The Earl of ELLENBORO UGH—I will supply the
terms, because I have read the letters. They are the
letters of the secretary of Sir J. Outram to the Governor-
General, dated the Bth of March ; the reply of the se-
cretary of the Governor-General, dated the 10th March ;
and the letter of the Governor-General's secretary, dated
the 31st of March.
The Earl of DERBY—I now move for the produc-
tion of those papers.
The nac,tion was agreed to.
Their lordships then adjourned.

THE VOTE OF CENSURE.
Mr. RICH gave notice that in the event of the reso-
lution of the right hon. member for Oxford (Mr. Card-
well), being carried he should propose the addition of
the following :—" And that the house commending the
temperate policy with respect to the Indian revolt, set
forth by the Governor. General in the minute of the 11th
July, and in his letter to the CoUrt of Directors of the
24th of December last, and which policy the directors
in the letter to the Governor-General of the sth of May
applied more especially to Oude, do confidently rely
that the Governor-General will continue to exercise that
firmness and humanity which under great difficuhies he
appears hitherto to have exercised." (Hear, hear.)
Mr. DUNLOP gave notice that in the event of the
amendment of the hon. member for Swansea being car-
ried he should add the following :—" And this house
confidently trusts that the Governor-General wil', in the
spirit of the letter addressed to him by the ourt of
Directors on the sth of May, pursue a general policy
which, while it shall vindicate the established authority
of the Indian Government, shall re-assure the people,
encourage their speeds submission, and reeoncile.them
to British rule." (Hear, and laughter.)

OUDE.
Sir D. NO R.REYS asked the late President of the Board
of Control whether the late Government had determined
on, and communicated to the Governor-General of India,
the line of policy which in their opinion should be pur-
sued to wards the landowners of Oude when the fitting
occasion should arrive for the publication of their policy ;
and, whether the late proclamation fairly represented the
views so communicated to the Governor-General I
Mr. V. SMITH said her Majesty's late Government
had come to no such determination, or communicated to
the Governor-General of India the line of policy referred
to, and of course that being so, the second part of the
question required no answer.
