MARV'S WELLESLL V.

Ni. Vl'.

SlR—Marquis WILLESLP Y having been Fronght
pp in the Treafury under that 'Mations Staid-man,
late WILLIAM PITT* it may be credited that, the
intricate fubjeBs of finance engaged his particular at-
tention before he quitted this ungrateful country, for
fuch it mull be termed by all dignterefled perfons, as
giving credit to the pofitively Elitious tales of a Paull,
whnfe eloquence is folely furpalfed by his mndelly.
From the plain fiatements of fads already detailed,

I am induced to think your Readers %ill admit, that
as aeing in conformity to the commercial orders of
the Court of Dire&ors, no blame attaches to Marquis
W!LLESL!YI for the increafe of debt in Britifh India,
although I have heard it hinted, that the Noble Mar-
quis is liable, as a Peer of the Realm, to the feverell
cenfure of his King and Country, for paying implicit
obedience to another commercial order from the India
Houfe.

The firfl loan, opened under the adminillration of
Marquis Wst.t.ascsY, did not take place until every
attempt to accrmplilh, by negotiation with the late
:Tippoo Sultaun, had completely failed, and fo averfe
was theGovernor-General from taking any halite liep,
that his patience had alma got the better of his
prudence. Such were nearly the words of tha Chair-
man at the India Houle. At this alas, there was
not a Chilling in the Treafutg unappropriated, and'
without money, it was imp-ffible for the army to take
the field ; the Governor General and Council did,
therefore, deem it expedient to open a decennial loan
at to per cent. (being two per cent. lower than paid
previous to his arrival in India) whereby the firm
required was immediately obtained, and 500,0001.
in fpecie was forwarded to Madras. Another loan,
to a fimilar purport, was fubfcquently opened, to
make good the fum allotted to invett mem, which had
been appropriated to the inevitable extra expences
attendant on the Expedition to Egypt.
The premium on the lan loan having gradually
rifen to 8 per cent. induced the Native Capitalitts in
general, to bring forth their long concealed treafures.
(One man in Calcutta, exclufive of oth,r property,
keeps too,oool. Iterling in fpecie, at prefent, for what
be calls aNO Fig). The next loan opened was for
the fubfcribers to pay tool. and to receive 1071. (lock,
bearing an intereft of 8 per cent. ; this alto proved
advantageouf to the Stock holders, fubfequtntly at
155, 703, toe, lON then at par, until in the middle
of the Marhatta war, very large turns were obtained,
the fubfcribers paying tool. and receiving 981. flock.
Treating or Exchequer Bills, bearing an intereft of
it per cent. which, on the arrival of Marquis Wer.•
Limy in India, were at a difcount of a per cent.
were loon negctiable at 9, and eventually current at
(riper cent. interetk, thereby paving the way for the
gradual introdu&ion of Bank Notes, which in the
courfe of a fhort time, when the Bank charter is ob-
tained, will become equally current as in this country,
an molt alluredly enable the Government to obtain
money on loans, on equal,4 not more advantageous
terms than in Great Britain.

The proportionate reduetion in the rate of intereft
on the public debt, may alfo in tome meafure be at-
tributed to the falutary introdudtion by Marquis
WILLI:Ley of the Sinking Fund, nearly on a fimilar
plan as in this country, about twenty thoufand
pounds flerling being monthly allotted partly to the
parchafe of the government feeurities, and partly to
pay off a certain amount, agreeable to priority cf
date, on the general regifler of the debts of each
?refidency.
Precifely at the very time when the finances began
to recover, by the uatemitting attention of Marquis
WILLISLEY to this particular fuhjett, and the Britifit
charaaer flood exalted beyond any preceding period
in the eyes of the natives throughout India, for its
moderation, faith, and good gnvernmect, an order
was unfortunately fent from hence to di(band imme
diately, in Bengal alone, eight thonland regular
Miners, the whole corps of native artillery, with a

proportion of cavalry, which aftually led to the clm-
osencement of the late Marhatta war, fo errnneoufly
and unjunly attributed to the ambitious views of
Marquis WELLESLEY. PLAIN FACTO:
