T ADJOURNED DEBATE.

(From the Daily Non.)

To-night the Adjourned Debate on Mr. Card-
well's Resolution will be resumed. The supporters
of that Resolution in the House of Commons have
done their best to divert attention from its exact
terms ; and out of doors it is difficult to meet with
any person who has taken the trouble to read it.
Almost evtrybcdy has been content 'to take its pur-
port, at second hand, from speechs of " Honour-
able Members," or from leadets of the Times. Wo
therefore reprint the Resolution, as it stands on the
Notice Book of tho House of Commons, in 'order
that our readers may be enabled to form their own
opinions of its scope and tendency. The Resolu-
tion is As fo!lowa :
" That this hf.use, whilst, in its present state of
infk rmation, it abstains from expressing an opinion
on the policy of any Proclamation which may have
issued by the Governor-General of India, in rela-
tion to Oude, hat seen wi h regret and serious ap-
prehension that her Maj st.y's Government have ad-
dressed to the Governor-General, through the Se-
ccet Committee of the Court of Directors, a despatch
condemning in strong terms the conduct of the
Governor-General, and is of opinion that such a
course on the part of the Government must tend,
in the present circumstances of India, to produce
the most prjudraial effect, by weakening the au-
thority of the Governor-General, and encouraging
the further resistance of those who are in arms
against u 3."

Now the first remarl!, suggested by a perusal of
this Resolution, is, that k affirms a de'ite?rate
falsehood. It is not true that the government des-
patch condemns in strong the conduct of the Go-
vernor-General." The censure in the despatch is
confined to the policy which it appe.lred from a
draft-Proclamation which had reached Govern-
ment, unaccompanied by an explanation, that
the GoVernor-General intended to adopt, with
reference to the province of Oude alone, of er the
fall of Luckuow. Not a word of censure was
breathed in the Government despatch ulon " the
conduct of the Governor-Genral. The despatoh
merely blamed an act which he had in contempla-
tion only, and exhorted him to rbstain from com-
mitting it. If the Government had "cond tuned
the conduct'.'- of the Governor-General, thAy would
have tondemued what by general conamt is ai-
mitted to have been on the whole creditable to
him. To affirm in general terms that Government
have "condemned the conduct" of the Governor-
General is to affirm what is not true in order to
create a prejudice against them. To- make the
resolution square with fact it ought to affirm that
Governmsut have "condemned the intention of
the Governor-General to confiscate all the land of
Oude."
Toe real question raised by Mr. Cardwell's resolu-
tion is—Have Government done right in condemn-
ing the policy announced in Lord Canning's draft-
proclamation ? Before Government is censured
for condemning the policy which Lord Canning
had intimated his intention to plume in Oude, it
is necessary to inquire whether that policy was
laudable or blameable. Common sense and com-
mon justice are alike outraged by a proposal to
"abstain from expressing an opinion on the policy
of any proclamation which may have been jostled
by the Governor-General of India in relation to-
Oude," and at the same time to censure Govern-
ment fcr "condemning in strong term,' t e poli y
of such proclamation. If the policy of the procla-
tuati-n is sound and hononia'de to England, then
undoubtedly the Government deserve censure for
condemning it. But if, on the eon‘rary, the policy
of the proclamation is unjust and dishonourable to
England, then with equal ceria'nty the Govern-
ment deserve praise for eiedemning,it. Whether
Government deserve praise or censtfre for con-
donning the policy of. the proclamation depends
entirely upon the character of that po'icy Bef.re
the House of Commons is entitled eiihar to praise
or to blame Govcrnmeut for its condemnation of
the p'-di-cy of the proclama ion, it must dekrre
either that the Folic), is just and honourable, or
that it is the reverse. 'To procecclotherwiso would
lie ludicrously illoeical and flagitiously,' tl ust.
Now whit tt the character of the policy in ques
tiou ? To enable our readers to judge for them
selves, we reprint all of the proclamation that con-
ains the expression of the policy condemned.
'• The Governor-General further proclaims to the
people of Oude that . . . the proprietary right
in the soil of the provinces is confiscated to the
