be ridienlons in any ,perfon to infinuatc that Mini-
(try comprifed all thetalent of the country, when the
Right Hon. gentleman was oat of office. Not only
the Right Honourable Gentleman, bat his colleagues
on the fame bench with him, had made fuch a re-
prefentation impoffible, particularly by the difplay of
talent which they had already made in oppolition.—
This declaration he (Mr. For) made for himfelf and
ids colleagues. It was poffible Come of the friends of
the prefent Miniliry, thinking too highly of their me-
tits, might from prejudice or partiality have fo de-
ferihed them, but he thonght it was hardly Tot the
friends of a Right Hon. Gentleman, lately_deeeafed,
to he the VI to objet to that fpeciee 'of compliment.
He had never, fo far as that Right Hon. Gentleman
was concerned, obferved the Right Hon. gentleman
°grate an enemy to panegyric; let him look to what
e hicafelf had faid of his late Right Hon. Friend,
1 he would not think the partiality of friends In un-
. - awantable. With refpett to his Right Hon. Friend
near him (Mr. Windham). the Right Honourable
Gentleman had raid that he had no opinion of him,
war any confidence in him as a War Minifier. and that
sig out of too were of the fame mind with him on this
fubjea, This opinion he immediately took as granted.•
and then goes on—not to propofe to turn him not, his
to fay, " Before you have fully matured your plan's*.
plain to me the nature of it." Was it, he would efits
a fair inference of want of confidence, to require oft&
Right Honourable Friend to tell them the nature oft
his plata out of time ? _His Right Honourable .7e iend
admitted be was not completely ready. In that cafe
he predated to think it extremely hard that Gentle
men oprofite fhould fay, anfwer us on. a point on
which you coeds • you are not ready. It was well
known that it was always tho with of the Right Ho.
nourabie Geittleman lately deeeafed, to endeavour to
get the friends with whom he (Mr. Fox) atited, to
awake a part of his (Mr. Pitts) MlnifirY, and that
Loch endeavours had been and with his Right Hon.
Friend Mr. Windham, after he had made the fpeeches
to witieh the Right Honourable Gentletna oppolite
alluded. It might, indeed, be laid, that it was not
in the contemplation of Mr. Pitt, to have given his
Right .Honourable Friend the War Department,
bat to have placed him in forte other Situation. If
he (Met FA), however. underlined the Right Ho-
nourable Gentleinan oppofite, no change of place
Could have fatisfied the Right Honourable Gentleman,
or removed his' objections to his Right Honourable
Friend holding any lituation. He would have laid,
" It is Oot to the head of the particular department
that I give my confidence, but to the whole of the new
Miniltry." The Right Honourable Gentleman talked
4. delay. It was not till the 7th of February that
Right Honourable Friend's Wei; was moved.—
..he Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Pitt), to
whom he was convinced the Right Honourable Gen.
*man oppofite would not seillinglyimpute delay, or
• other had quality, did not tur four weeks atter
return to power bring in his Additional Force
There the time which intervened was nearly as
as in the preen' inhafte. There ton, a Tingle
- only was to be Introduced. Here there was a
new fylletit to be founded. There. however, no ob.
jeflion of delay was fluted' neither were any Maw
-.we inquiries made into the manic ref the plan which
vended to adopt. If there had been any filch,
airkwardly muff that Right Hon:,itrable Gen-
tleman have found himfelf fitnated in declaring it to
be built on a fyfiem fuels as be himfelf had been de
crying within the lag three Weeks. The Right Ho-
nourable Sicretary.declared that he could not figure
aRy reafon tor.. potting any. michion like the prefent,
but a with to embarrafs. What good motive could
the perfilling in it-proceed from, when his Right
'Honourable Friend had flared that he was not quite
-ady to bring fctward his meafure ? If he was guilty
,{ delay, why not bringforward againft him a charge
to that clear and let-his cot:duet be the fubjed of
Farliameatary inquiry t But what advantage could
proteed from a prematere declaration' limner to that
tow required?—From what motive hut a bud one
could the with to procure fuch a declaration, proceed!
He fimuld only put it to the candour of the Right
Hon.-Gentleman hiinfelf. If, before the plan of the
Military arrangements now in agitation had been
teeth to be laid before the Houfe, his Right Hon.
Friend had at once moved for the Repeal of the Ad-
Janet Force Bill, while nothing was ready to Cub-
aitute in. its Read, what would the Right Honourable
Gentleman ha re laid? Would he not have faid—Here,
this is your hatieto thew yourpinittpfrover the Gen-
tletnan who is new no mote. you not have
waited with patience, and allowed the A 9, to take
courfe till you were ready with a fulatlitute ?
'old appeal to the Right Hon. Gentleman if that
Id not have been his conettift t and if his Right
Friend now laid .tkat this Bill farmed no pare
plan, did it not follow that this was not the
to invefligate or difeufs its meriti.
CANNING explained, declaring that his cons
c would have been filch as Mr. Fox had fuppeade
the event figured by him.
Mr. PERCEVAL thought that the different topics
thick had been difeuffed to-night would come metre

ight, however, that it was hardly cortia- in the
at Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Fax tie r4l eat,
is impoffible the queflion could have been put
a good motive, more particularly as his Noble
:nd did not prefs his queflion concerning the plan
:h the Right Honourable Secretary (Mr. Wind.
1) had in contemplation. but lin:i:ed it as to the
tlties. This he thought was a reasonable and pro-
incision, as, while it was fuffered to remain in
tut-
: whether they were to be levied or nor, it afted
a double difadvantage. He expretTed his bappi-
to underhand from the tag fpcaker on the other
(Mr. Fox) a thing which he had not formerly
:Mood, and which he himfelf did not expeft, that
mtprehenfive plan was actually formed If to he

Ir. FOX explained.
i.LAWRENCE agreed with his Learned Friend
eke (Mr. Perceval)' as to this not being the very
moment for agitakag the maims which had been
tduced: He was Corry to °brave, however, that

The votes of that day having been read, he complained at the
Papers not being produced, while thole which went to exculpate
the Marquis Wrikfley bad been laid on the table Come time. He
booed that the returns to the fail orders be made forthwith.
' Mr. WALLACE Paid; there had been no intentional dell in
the produetion of the Papees.
A OlOtteonverfadon asfued between fltr. Waltaee, Wintry
Addington, Mr jecretary Fox, and Lord Caltleroagh, mod the
Papers wercordered to be laid on the table
Mr. PAUL then tole to move fnr other Paper.,
which, he Paid, contained the proofs of the fyßem
purfued by the Marqdis Wellefley, and on which he
meant ro ground four charges, one relative to, the
tranfaftions in the Carnatic—another relative to Oude
—another refpeding the appointment of Mr. Henry
Wellefley—and the other, relative to the Rajah of
Bhuri pore. The papers would prove that the Mar.
quis had aged on a fyllem of aggreffinn diametrically
oppofite to the wife fyllem of Lord Cornwallis. He
concluded by moving for a copy of the letters betwerg
the late Governor General, the Marquis of Wellefley,
and the Eall India Company, from the year t iq>l to
the conchilinn of the Treatrwith the N.tbob of Surat.
Lord TEMPLE bad no oblation to granting the
papers, but he thought there was no Parliamentary
ground Rated. He Jußified the conduft of the Mar-
quis Wellefley refpeding the Nabob of Surat, and
Rated that the Court of Dirators had approved of his
conciud.-
Mr. HILEY ADDINGTON laid there were Pie.
liattcntary rearms for not producing the papers, but
he should not objed to the Hononrahle Gentleman's
having them. He could only affure him, that if
they were produced, it would be necelTary to bring'
forward a great many more, the printing of whit'
would take up much rime.
Lord FGLKSTONE made* few obletvations
on what fell from Lord Temple refpeiting a lettie
from the Court of Dirators, in approbation of thb
Marquis of Wellefley's conduit, which appeared to
him t,. he depriving the Prince of Surat of his country.
Sir T. METCALF went into a long jollification
of the (dem adopted by the Marquis Wellefley to-
Wards the family of the Nabob of Surat, He maim
twined that the fyßem of the Noble trfarqnis, if it
had been continued, would have prevented war in
Itsdialor half a century.
Dr. I.AURENCE bellowed the higheß encm
minms•npon the Noble Marquis, in his private capa-
city ; but thought there was fuch a prefumptinn of
delinquency made out, as would jußify him in voting
for the Motion. •
Mr. Secretary FOX replied to an intimation, that
he had made a/eclat:ohms hoftile to the Inch* Coin
pany and the Marquis Wellefley. Whatevei dear'.
retionslit had nolderapplied only to the Noble Mar-,
mis's gate ral cond oft, as coin pared with Lord Corn-,
wain, s. He had declared that the principles and
policy of Lord Cornwallis were more agreeable to
thiefe laid down by the Mollie, and to the credit of
the' .Eaft India Company. He denied ever having
interfered or given any advice upon the prefent
led: He was of opinion the Parliamentary grounds
of the Honotteable Gentleman would not bear hint
our, but Rib he ihould not °bled to the production of
the Papers.
Mr. HUDDLESTON laid, that the Court of Di-
tenors had no oblation to making public the papers
moved for. It would, however, be neeelfary for the
Court of Diredors to call for fome additional Papers.

(erred, that he fat in that Houle as a Member of
Parliament, and not as a Ditator of th: India Cont.
panr. • •
Mr. ROBERT THORNTON, remarked, that it
was very use that the Hon. Bare net did not fir there
as Dire tor, but it was irapoffible for any one who
beard hitt not to recoiled that he vies a member of
the Court of Diralors. It was well known that the
Honourable Baronet had Rood almoll fingly. . in the
Court of Direaors ae the defender of the Marquis
Wender's meafutes. He fek it his duty to Rate,
that the body to which the Hon. Baronet belonged
did not think with him on the fobjeft of the Noble
Marquis's modal. Other papers would be necelfary,
particularly one, to which he could not at prefent
give a proper title, but it was esprett re of the oploinn
of the Cola of Diredors on theGtOrernment cf
It was intended to have fent out this paper to which
he alluded, but its treat's:Gaon had been prevented
by high atithoiitj.
Mr. PAUL declared his intention of perfevering
in the invelligation which he had commenced. He
Rated, that I,coo.oodi. a ybar had been veiled in the
Government at India under Marquis Wellelley. He
would dillindly prove,, that the Mobil Marquis had
mutually applied large fums egaiireiy 40 the Aft of
Parliament. ;

Mr: PAUL did not mean to arcofe the Noble Mar-
quis of peculation, but repeated his charge, that he
had applied the public money for his own convcni-
ence, fplendour, and throe.
Mr. W. POLE--.-4 I mull underaand then, that
