relations. They were fo minute and circurnßantial,
however, 111144-10 clofely conflated with-this hiftory or,
the Company, that pre cannot pretend to enter into
them at any length. He particularly Rated, that the
fauguiae hopes held out to Parliament and to the coon-
try, of the Company's not being able in time to de.
fray their territorial expences, but to contribute alto
to the firength and refources of this country. bad
been hitherto lllufory. The language ufed by the''
IJoble Lord's prkdecefor (Lord Melville) had been
as Battering as that of the Noble Lord parbly could
be.. When that Noble Lord prtfided at the head of
India Affairs, he bad made a fuppofition, that even
with t 5 millions of debt, the affairs of the Company
might be conduced with advantage. This the Hon.
Gentleman Paid, had merely been Rated as a fuppoft-
tion. and of what might be done in cafe of the work
but not with any idea that the debt would ever amount
fp high. What conclulion then, he anted, mull
we form now, that the dept isaccuroulated to a much
from and is Co far beyond an amount which
at Noble Lord had calculated on as the highea pot.
fible ? If in the courfe of tea years we bad recreated
the debt from (even millions to twenty-one. what et-
palmitin could we form of diminution in future? The
N.ible Lord's predeceffor had looked forward to a
period of ten years, and had given a Raiment of
what he thought would then be the cafe; but, if they
might judge from fads, he had been very much mit.
taken indeed. The Noble Lord tow at the head of
India affairs, the Hon. Member thought was proceed•
ing in nearly a fimilar manner ; he was holding up
hopes to the Houle, which if any judgment might be
formed from the pall, would never be realized. It
was not his dellgn, however, to attach any particular
blame to the 'mature now prepared by the motion
before the Houfe. The debt of the Government ,
formed a part of the altos, but he would bevel
bad thofe, he contended, iodependently of that debt.
It was not bis deign to move for any Committee

'ion, which was certainly not by any means war-
liammitery. He did not with either that it &mild I
be underllood as his opinion, that the validity of
the Company's credit was not good. On the contrary, ,
be looked forward to years of profperity. If properly
caudated, he thought India prefented a glorious
profpee. It was able, 'as the Noble Lord had raid,
to fupport its own wan; and though it created%
million of debt annually, it was Rill pmdudive of
very great advantages. The commercial ream,
however, to this country be thought were ettatitiess4
as an °bite of too great importaste. There was so
policy, he infitted, 111 investing *de returns, is

vantageous, as by this means alfo mote attaidea
could be paid to the carrying trade, which be
the molt profitable. Inßead of this, however,
p carrying trade was ditcouraged, or at leak was per-
mitted to into the heeds of foreigners. as the
Americanshad chiefly now carted it, and Weal
means a portion of Britith capital that might be very
eternity employed was loft to the country.
Mr. GRANT entered into a cußification of the
Company's affairs. On a balance, be thought the
revenue and commerce would be found to have a
proper proportion. A dißineion ought to be made'
between the political and commercial charges; lofts
by fire and other caulks ought alto to be taken into
the account. as the Company were their own informs.
the carrying trade, be faiJ, had been fisted as of
sreat importance; but in order to give fecurity
this trade.it was neceffary the Companylhould exert
theenfelves.
Dr. LAWRENCE felt it his duty to approve of
every attempt to inveßigate the affairs of that coos-
try, as there mull. fooner or later. be a period when
thole affairs would prds themfelves on the Honfe is
a manner that could not be refilled. He thought it
ominous, however, that no two perfons in the Houle
could be found to agree in their calculations on the
eilimates laid before the Heart, or even in the figures
that werefthenitted to them. The revenue and
merce be thought were fo nearly connected, that no
inferences could be drawn from them feparately. One
point in particular he thought preffed lirongly on the
Houle, and that was, whether they Ibould rather leave
the trade to others, than borrow to fupport it ? A
Noble Lord had mentioned fourteen millions of debt
as a very high rum. but even that they might be able
to fupport, provided they had any fecunty that it
Amid not be much more. It was rather extraordi-
nary, the Learned Member thought, hat every thing
firould be reprefented in a very Rourithing Rate, and
yet that the debt at the fame time thould be fo a-'
pidly accumulating. He regretted the impoffibaity
of moving for accounts to be made nut in if certain
way. which might render them more precife and in-
tempo..
Lord DUNLO bid, it was very true that the Go-
vernment in India was prohibited from making con.
queßs for the purpote of extending the territories of
the Company. But it was not prohibited from mak-
ing conqueßs after being obliged to enter into a war ;
which was the cafe in the inflame alluded to by the
Learned Gentleman.
Lord CASTLEREAGH, in explanation, raid, the
queßion was nearly balanced between India and
Great Britain; for the acquitition of territory in In.
dia had wailed a revenue of near four millions an-
nually.—The quellion was then carried, with an A-
mendment. by
Sir W. PULTENEY. that the accounts relating
to China thould be alto dißinguithed from thole of
India.
Lord CASTLEREAGH proceeded to move for
the papers he had alluded to at the outfet of his
fpeech, namely :

" His Eleaoral Highnefs of Baden, while lie ho-

Diet of the Empire on the 6th of May, and is pene-
trated with the livelieff gratitude for the benevolent

took place in his territory, fhould be likely to produce
difagreeable differences that may be produltive of the
moll dangerous confequences to the peace of Ger-
many.

French Government. and its exalted head, towards
the whole German Empire, fo lately evinced in the
Mediation of Peace, and in the explanations, perfealy

earneftly will' that the Reprefentations made to the

On the 3oth of June the following Note, relative

HANOrttIAW NOTI.

" Ratilbon, June 28, 5804.
" The unheard of oppreffions which the German
Elefloral States of his BRITANNIC MAJISTY have now
fuffered for more than a year, from the occupation of
them by the French troops, equally unprovoked and
contrary to the laws of nations ; oppreflinns, under
the confequences of which theft territories mutt long
crmtinve to firuggle—have induced his BRITANNIC
histjasry, as Serene Highnefs of Brunfwick Lune-
burg, to dire& the underfigned faithfully to rem-
fent to the Diet the deplorable &maims of thofe
German States, and the conduit of France, fo con-
trary to the laws of nations, in order that his high
Co•Eftates may take fuels flops and meafures, as may
at length procure the liberation of his Sksjelly's
Getman States.

Ii In conformity witli thcle direttions,the underfign-
ed Comitial Envoy of his BRITANNIC MAJRSTT, as

Eleftor of Brunfwick Luneburg. has to renew to your
Excellenc;es and Etninences the reprefentation which

he nude to the General Diet on the 124 of Aorta

laR of the principles of his Barranntc MAJESTY, and
to remind you of his Met conformity to thofe
principles as Eletlnt. of Luneburg.
It certainly cannot efc.ipe the obfervance of the
High States, how carefully his BRITANNIC MAJFSTY
and ElcUor of Brunfwick Luneburg has dißinguifhed
between the two relations of King and Eleaor, and
how pun&ually he has fulfilled all his duties and
obligations to the empise, without the leull confider
ation how far they might effea the relations of his
Crown.

" It is generally known that his careful obferva-
lion of that difference was acknowledged not only by
_ . .

the empire, but even by France, as well during the
different periods of the late war, as after the peace of
Campo Formio, and latterly, by the peace of Lb

The condat of the French Government mull ap-
pear the more extraordinary to every unprejudiced
purfbn i fince the fame Government, which had al-
ways before acknowledged the difference of there
twofold relations, immediately on differences arifing
between France and the Crown of England, made
thefe the foie pretence for a hogile invafion of the
Gentian Territories. It would be foperAnnus to in.
fifl on the confequences of which this grofs violation
of the law of nations mull neceffarily be produ&ive
tythe fafety and integrity of the German body-poli-
tic and all the dikinet States, as they mull be felf-evi-
dent to the high and eminent co-eftates.
" His Majefly and Elcaoral Highnefs is therefore
pettedly convinced that the high co-tames of the
Empire will, according to their well-known love of
jufiite and of their country, employ all the neceffary
meads to put an end to the oppreffions under which
the Territories of the Eleaorate of Brundricli Coffer.,
and to rellore to them the bleffings of peace and that
fecurity which they are entitled to expea from their
contwaion and union with the Empire.
a. The underfighed has hereby fulfilled the charge
he had in commiffion, and his the honour to recom-
mend and requea that their Excellencies and Emi-
nences will immediately reprefent thisimportant mat-
ter to their feveral Courts, that they sky as Coon as
poffible receive the requifite inaruaioni from their
high and eminent ptintipals. (Signed) von 11015."
