THZ THEATIt EL—N.l64lg can fl ark more favour-
ably of the mile and judgment of the town, than the
confluence of company with which thefe retorts • f
elegant and rational entertainment are now fre-
quented. Without any of the ordinary attraeli.ins
of what is called novelty, either in the perfumers, or
the dramas performed, both houfes lad night over-
flowed to a pitch which we never before witneffal at
this leaf mof the year. The contemplation of per
fellinn can never cloy: it foothes the pride of our
nature, while it feeds the love, and flimulates, the
faculties that are ambitious of excellence. We Call
no more ceafe to admire the tragic grandeur of Mrs.
SIDDONS in / atly Macbeth, than to be charmed with
the comic vivacity of Mrs. JORDAN in the Widow
6betrly. Each had her triumph IA night ;in which,
however, the other per formers had their proportionate
(hare, conformably to the meafure of their refpedive
talents.

MARQUIS WELLESLEY.

(No. IX.)

Si R —The worth Oude and Nabob are, I d ,übt
nor, familiar to the generality of your Itesderc, in
CI far as refpeets the accounts t f horrid cruelties
Hoed to have been committed formerly by IVrtteasv
HASTINGS, and more recently by the late Governor
General of Britilh India.

After the acquittal of the pet fecutel H tiling'', and
the cnnfedion of even better info me • people, that
they had been grolaly deceived by the ve. bilge of
Burke and Shtridan on the filbjefts of IlAia
lairs—it is certainly fomewhat furptKog, that a 13ti-
tifh Senate ihould again be compelled to li len to the
fiSitious c'targes brought forward aga;nlt Inch a per-
fon as Marquis IVELLASLEY, of whole well known
excellent chataiter and traidcendent abilities, as
acknowledged by bt.th Houlea of Parliament, this
nation Itands in fuch great need at the prefent cti•
tical period.

This too great willingnefs of try countrymen to
pay attention to fabulous, and not to give credit to
events which anually have occurred, plus me in mind
of the following ttory
A Midthipm4n, on his returs to England from the
Red Sea, was alked by his Giaridmother wl.at be
had teen there? when the younker, with gravity ob.
ferved—that in taking up the anchor one 'rooming,
they brought with it one of Pharaoh's chariot wheels,
and fhottly afterwards an immenfe number of fish
flew upon deck—when the o/d Lady, taking off her
fpeetacles, nbfersed, young man I give you credit for
the wheel coming up with the anchor, as we are in-
formed in the Bible that Pharaoh'. chariots were all
101 l in the Red Sea; but, as to fith flying, I defile you
will never tell the fuch a ridicul• us dory again.
In nearly a funilar way have many perions been
gulled, by the fabulous glories amalgamated in the
textile imagination of a Folkfinne, a Tut trm, and
anonymous writers in newspapers, without refl:dting,
or referring to extant records, whereby they would
be convinced that a bale anion, in either public or
private life, has never proceeded from a break fo
generally acknowledged to be the feat of every manly
virtue, by all, who at any period have been honoured
by the friendfhip, or even the political acquaintance
of the Mai qiiis Wellefley.
The prefent Nabob of Oude is the perfnn defcribeti
in Franklin',. Life of Shaw Aain, as being com-
pelled to leek protenion for many years in the Cum.
pany's provinces, from the afccrtained fait bf his
confpiring with others to poilon his own brother tl en
on the throne ; unlike the generality of his count:).
men, the ruling paffion of Saadut Ally is the melt
fordid avarice, carried even to the extent of a&ing
to participate with his own fervants in any little pre-
fent they had or might eventually obtain in flicking
for another aft appointment in his own gift ; and,
next to the pleafure or policy cf. accumulating riches,
may be added, the mull cowardly apprelienlion f. r
his own perfonal fafety.
A cooliderable number of our troops have been
fuhlidized ins Oude for the lag forty years, but, G. m
the difficulty of crillening the revenue in the country
adjacent to the Mahraua frontiers, the fublidy was
generally in arrears, not naii.g to any fault of the
prefent Nabob, or his predeceflors, but to the feudal
Ipirit of independance of the principal land) olders,
and their contempt of the ruling Poster at Lucknow.
/Ns fyflematic nppofition was Itrengtloened by the
intriguing fpirit of the French General Perrin, in
the adjacent difiriet, who embraced every p ffible
opportunity of augmeting the French Indian army
in the upper part of Hindallan, by receiving every
loldier who had either Wetted, or been ditcharged
from the Britith army.
To relieve the Nabob from the difficulty in reali.
zing thie portion of his revenue, and at the fame
time to keep in check the increafing influence r f
French politics in this part of India, the Governor
General fuggefled to the Nabob the proptilry of
ceding to the Company the country adjacent to the
Marhatta frontiers, the revenues whereat, agreeable
to the fchedttle produced by the Nabob's Ministers,
were barely equal to the amount of the fubfidy he had
agreed by former treaties to pay.
That the Nabob was anually benefited by the
transfer is beyond any doubt, for although his pre-
deceffors were invariably poverty thicken, yet it is a
well known authenticated fan, that within lour years
after this ceffinn had taken place, the Nab 'b had
anually in his treafury above five millions (telling of
gold and filver btrllim, exclufive of jewels, &c. prin•
cipally acquit ed fince this event, for which the Noble
Sublen 01 thefe letters has been fo unjullly cenfured.
From a variety of concurrent circumllat ces, fuch
as the Nabob lending, in one Cum, 375,c001. Ilei ling,
and fupplying, from his own liable, a fufficient r um-
ber of lonics to mount the Bth Regiment of Dragoons,
it is reafonable to conclude, that the Nab. b did not
confider hinsfelf inlined by the political meafures rf
the government o Marquis WELLPILF Y, and his
perfonal friendlhip was extended even to the delicate
point of introducing the Noble Marquis into his own
Zenana, or Seraglio. an honour never before (hewn
by a native cf his exalted rank to any European
whatfoever. PLAIN FACTS.
