il.nald he ai• they were reprefented, that Minillers
wi uld take rneatitres rr icrair the injury done, and
to render his tarther interlerence iinneceltary. lf,
imwe..er, they lhotild not, he pledged hittifelf to
bring toe matter before the Houle early in the
next Seflio,), and would follow it up with as much
fif rnne;s and perfeverance as his acquaimance
with the concerns of India, and his utmoft know•
ledge could be capable of, with a view to render
effeatial juttice, and to wipe the tiain from the
Britith charatter, which inch atrocious injuttice
and oppreffion as this cafe is expeeted to involve,
would be calculated to fix upon it. He would
not then fay more to the main quellion, but wrinld
move, " That a Petition which he held in liis
hand, from the Regents of the Carnatic, thould
be received ;" a Petition which he tendered upon
the grounds that that Houfe was a jorifelittion
competent to afford the Petitioners ample redrefs:
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE(ty ER profetfed
himfelf always inclined to receive petitions unlefs
they were obvioutly of a nature which mull put a
bar to their reception, and in atting fo he ima-
gined he only followed the difpofition of the Houle,
which was perhaps remarkable for facility in that
refped. Yet he could not hut exprels his doubts
refpetting the propriety of receiving a petition of
the nature of that now prefented by the Hon.
Gentleman. It did not come from a defcription
of perfons defcrihing thcmfelves to be fubjeas of
his Majetly ; and it
moreover purported to be a
petition of the regents appointed by the late Na-
bob of Arcot, whom, by receiving the petition, the
Houfe would appear to recognize in that charac-
ter, and thereby in fome meafure prejudge the
cattle to which the Hon. Gentleman had been
directing their attention. In his mind, however,
it was enough to know that a grievance had been
futlained and complained of, and that redrefs was
fought for from the Britith Parliament. Under
this view of it he, for one, was not difpofed to
bringing up the petition. As to the queflion at
large, he concurred with the Hon. Gentleman,
that there was no alternative between minutely
difctiffing it or abltaining from it altogether ; and
he was only lorry that the papers on the table
could have furnifhed a ground in the mind of the
Hon. Gentleman to prefume, that there was at
lean an appearance of criminality in the conduit',
of the Noble Perfons who held the reins of Go-1
wernment in India. The opinion which he drew
from the papers was quite the reverie, and indeed
the line of condult which had uniformly been pur-
fued by thole Noble Perfons left no room for har-
bouring any injurious fufpicion againft them; and
be was Pure the Houfe would panic before they
would permit any idea to take poifefflon of their
mind that could in the le.& derogate from the
honour and charaaer of thofe efteemed Noblemen.
After paying feveral handlione compliments to
le.r. Sheridan for his candour and liberality on the
prefent occalion, the Right Hon. Gentleman con-
cluded with giving his affent to the petition being
brought up.
Mr. Ntemotes thought the long interval that
had elapfed fince the depofition of the Nabob, in
It h Ins latisfaanry explanation of that affair had
been vea, of ofelfthrew an imputation on the
condo& of the Governors in India. He was then
proceeding to enter at large into the impolicy of
our meatures in India, when he was called to
otder by -
?Ir. WALLACI, who obferved, that fuels a dif.
eutlion was nowife conne.led with the queftion
before the Houfe.

The SFFAKLIL eonetirred in the fame opinion,
but, a. the fame time, obferved, that as it was not
known how any Hon. Gentleman would, in the
end, apply his obferrations, he could not hinder
him from proceeding.
Mr. Niettou.s faid, his only intention in intro-
ducing his obfervations on the present Motion was
merely to prevent the neceaity of troubling the
Houle with another Motion.

Mr. SHULIDAN'S Motion was then put and
agre:d to.

Mr. NICHOLLS then role to make his promifcd
motion refpeding the late tranfadions in the Car-
Latic. He contended that the EA India Com-
ranY was entering on a fyilem of univerfal do-
nlinion,afyftem that would ticceffarilylead to anew
war, that would drain the refources of this coun-
try, and to which the means of the Company were
ultolly inadequate. Indeed they were already
loaded with a debt of 24 millions, and they mull
loon be obliged to come to that Houle for affia•
ancc. As to the condod of the Governor General
If Bengal, a ftrong prefuniption of criminality
arole from the long delay which occurred in the
znival of the papers that were laid to contain his
j;:aiCcation. That ads of oppreffion and injuaice
had been committed againft the lon of the late
Na:.u.b of Arcot there ex tiled but little doubt in his
r“;nd, and he thought it the firft prerogative of
the Crown to examine into and redrefs fuch ads.
He thnuld therefore move,
That an bumble Addrefs be pm-rented to bis Majelty.hum-
liY r':gutf:ing that he would be gracioully pleafed to dired
Such nit afures to be taken as in his wifdom be may dt em es pe-
er, fir the immediate csamina.tion of the claim of the Fait
Corop;.ny to the dominions of onidut Ul Omrah, late
itd'h of the CanutiC; and that Office may be done to his
•Atok*l'r..;ee UI Omrah, his only fun, and the loco:fibr ap-
i•••risd Ly his will.

Mr. SHERIDAN'S Motion on the fubje& of the de-
poled Nelms of Atcor has been properly deferred
Lill the materials can be more fully laid before the
Houfe—and, what is more, till the queilion can
be brought forward before a Houk not diffipatecl
in its attention as at prefent, but ready to bellow
upon it the moll folemn and deliberate confidera-
tion. M. SHEKIDAN, in a few worth?, put the
queftion in fo ftriking a light that it ought to be
kept in remembrance. If the young Nanos was
depofed for the treafons of his prcdccefrors or his
own, who were the informers—who the accufers
—who the judges—who the parties to profit by
the booty and the confifcation of this great potter-
lion ?—The Britifh Government in India !" A
volume could not lay more. It is the hiftory of

Candidates were, by the Direaors, reduced to two—
Mr. Arian and Mr. BOSAIIVET, and the number of
Direaors' votes were equal for cad:, nine and nine.
The Chairman has no calling vote ; but the cull
torn is, on fuch occallons, to put the name of each

head, and call in the Treafurer, and which ever
name he draws, is the fuccefsful Candidate. The
Treafurer on iefday drew Mr. ADAM'S name.

On the ad inflant the eaflern fide of Vienna was
threatened with very ferious mifchief. The In-
fpedor of the Military Powder Magazine, diflant
about half a league from the city, and fituate on
an eminence, had gradually collected a great quan-
tity of gunpowder in his houfe, which was at a
little diftance from the magazine. It caught
fire, and his houfe, with the laboratory and the
adjoining guard-room, were blown up into the
air, or fhattered into pieces.—His body was fhock-
ingly mangled, and five foldiers of the regiment of
Kerpen, who were in the guard-room, were killed;
18 other perfons were betides mortally wounded,
and two are miffing. Fortunately the explofion '
did not communicate to the powder magazine; if
it had, the confequences would, go doubt, have
beta much mote calamitess.
