DESPATCHES FRONT INDIA.
The Earl of DERBY—I think i: li4ht ta inform the
house that in the course of the morning we have reu€ vcd
despatches of importance from India. cunt iining, r.toong
otlfer things, representathns from Sir J. Outran), with
reference to Lord Canning'sproclamation, and also Lord
C inning's reasons for issuing that proclamation. Under
ordinary circumstances I should have thought it doubtful
whet/ifr papers containing a discussion of matt, Ts
of policy between two high cfficers of the Crown in India
should be hail before Parliament, but as they had al-
ready been laid before tho Court of Directors and as the
course pursued by Lord Ginning had been subject to
much comment, I think it would he most unjust to
that noble lord if hie °mu reaeons in hie own words for
ireuing the proclamation in tIlL? form ho adopted.
should have been glad to have laid the papers on Vail
table this evening, but they are now actually being
copied, and I hope to lay them before your lordships ta
morro

Earl GRANVILLE said if the papers were
laid on the table to-morrow, and the hones
Ghoul then ailjaura immediately after, they would
be of Lttle use. lie thought a motion for the production
should be made, and tins the papers cauld be in the
bands of their Lrishipg early te-morrow.
The lia.rl of ELLENBOROUG ll—That course has
fncisently been adopted in this house, and I think it
ah.olutely necessary that those papers should be in the
pcssessieu of the House of Coruinons before it comes to
the vete to-marrow.

The Earl of DERBY—I ors equally anxious that the
louse of Commons should have the papers before they
coma to a vote. I 'shall, therefore, move that copies of
the despatches received from India, containing the
grounds on which Lord Canning issued the proclarnne
tion, be produced. I can mention the exist terms.
The Eattof ELLENBOROUG vtill supply the
term., because I have real the letters. Toey are the
letters of the secretary of Sirj. Outracn to the secretary
of the Governor-General, dated the Bth of March ; the
reply of the secretary of the Governor-General, dated the
1(1:,h of March ; and the letter of the GJvcrnor•General,
dated the 10th of March.
The Earl of DERBY—I now move for the produc-
tion of those paper..
Their lordships then adjourned.

LORD CANNING'S PRIVATE CORRESPON-
DENCE.
Lord PALMER:SW& rose to make the house ac-
quainted with the passage in Lerd Caneing's letter, ad-
dressed to Mr. V. Smith, of the ff.h May, which had
bean referred to on a previous occasion. Before doing so
the noble lord read a passage from a letter of the 20th
Feb:nary, in which, after stating his opinion with re-
gard to the course pursued in rsference to the mutiny,
proceeded to say that with regard to the talookdare,
they were of a different character to the other
classes, and after the fall of Lucknow it would be' ne•
cessary to proclaim a large measure of mercy, hut that
it would show loso'ation and weakness in our course if
it were done before that. In the letter of the 6th March
the Governor-General of lodic stated that in his
farmer letter he mentioned the proposed issue of
a proclamation ietended to be addressed to the
Oude obiefe and landowners, whiah would be received
by that mail. He had hoped he h tuld have
been able t; have accompanied it with an explanatory
why it was in some respects so sweep-
despatch, showing
ing and in others so indulgent, and defending, in antici-
pation, the objections that might be made on other
points, but that other things of a more pressing nature'
bad prevented him doing so, and asking the Govern•
ment not to p=int it until it had been
acted on. At present it only stood as Felt
of the instruction--
(the remainder of the sartance was
lost in the laud cheers and erica of " hear, hear," that
followed the noble lord's reading of the paragraph.)
Lord Granville, who was in private correspenicece with
Lard Canning, had assured Lim (Lord Palmerstor.) by
letter that day that sincetileclaange of Government he had
only received one lever from Lord Canning, dated Feb.
20, the matoiial points of which he had communicated
to Lord Mlenborough, and in confirmation of which be
(Lord Pelinerston) had received a biter to that effect
from Lord Ellemborougb.
Mr. BRIGHT asked the noble 1 .rd to it farm the home
how many letters her Majesty's lite President of the
Board of Coutrol had received from Lora Canning since
the change ci islinistre
Lord PALMERSTON said he was in error last week
shell he stated three only had been received-. (Hear,
and laughter.) Ho found that beides Lord Granville'
!titers hair letters had been reesived—(oheere) —viz.-
1 the sth February, 20. h February, March 6, and
March 17. The latter, which was of a military character,
