to encleavout to do this by remote inference of argument.
T; .e fact appeared directly from tbe pappl on the table.
T: e war had been uudertaken on no grdunds oldoubt-
ful policy." Ile afterwards said, that " no General or

The.Matquis of Lansdowne in the same debate,
had said, that " whatever might be the charActer of the
policy which had been adopted with regal d to India,
the Governor-General had, on this occasion, been placed
in a situation which rendered hostilities i!aavoidable, and
that he had displayed consummate abilities on a Geld of
operations niore extensive than ithad ever fallen to thelo;
of any one Commander to direct." Lord Holland, on the
same occasion, said that" he had a high gratification in
payingithis tribute in the Governor.Geneial of India,
because he remembered that he was the sar,ie Marquis
of Hastings whom he had often heard with satisfaction
in that 'Place, who was an ornament to the House his
eloquence and his virtues, whose voice was always raised
in ciefeuce of innocence and weakness against oppres-
sioh, and in maintaining the rights of the people as well
as those of the Ctotyn." Mr. Kinnaird then proct.aled
to quote similar sentiments which were deliveted by Mr.
Canning, when moving the *vote tif thanks in the House
of Commons on the same occasion, and dwelt with con-.
siderable force on the eloquence with whic`h Mr. Can:-
ning had displayed the serviced of the Noble Matquis
in the Pindarree war. So that, both in the Nepaul and
Pindatree campaigns, he had received the enthusiastic
thanks of both Houses of Parliament; and the two East
India Courts. It was in consideration of these eminent
services that, in the year 1819, they entered the follow-
ing record of their reward to the Noble Marquis :
" On Friday, the .sth of Match; the Chairman stated to
the Court of Directors his intention of submitting, on
the Wednesday, following, a Resolution granting a cer-
tain sum of money to the Most Noble the Marivis of
Hastings. On Wednesday, the 10th of Match, the
Chairman, with the consent of the Court of Directors,
withdrew the motion of which he had given notice, and
moved, in lieu thereof, that the sum of £60,000 should
be granted in trust to the. Right lion. Charles Hope,
Lord President of the Court of Session, the Right Hun.
Catl.cart, Lord Galloway, David Boyle, Esq. and
T., W. Adam, t sq. to be laid out in the purchase of
estates in any part of the United Kingdom, for the use
and benefit of the Must Noble the Marquis of Hastings,
his Marchioness, and their issue.' It was proposed to
amend this motion by leaving out all the words in the
latter part of the Resolution, relative to placing in the
hands of trustees the sum of L 60,000 for the purchase
of estates, and inserting instead of them, ' an annuity
of L'.5000, to issue out of the territorial Revenues in
India, for the term of twenty years.' The question that
the words proposed to be left out, stand part of the Re-
solu ion; passed in the negative, by the ballot; and the
svore.s of the amendment passed by the ballot in the
affirmative." So far everything was declaratory of the
Noble Marquis's merit ; and then came their last Reso-
lution of 1822, which closed their notice of his brilliant
career. It was as follows :
" Resolved unanimously, That this Court most cordially concur
with the Court of Directors in their estimation of the unremitting
zeal and eminent ability with which the Most Noble the Marquis
Of Hastings has, during a period of nearly nine years, administered
the Government of British India, with such high credit to himself,
and advantage to the interests of the East India Company.
" That this Court, referring to the sentiments expressed by them-
selves. and the Court of Directors, in December, 1816, on returning
thanks to Lord H. •7ings for his skilful and successful operations in
the war against the Nepaulese ; to their resolution of the 3d of Fe-
bruary, 1819, recognizing the wisdom and energy of those measures
which extinguished a great predatory Power that bad established it-
self in the heart of llindoostan, whose existence experience had
shewn to be alike incompatible with the steurity of the Company's
possessions, and the general tranquillity of India, applauding at the
same time the foresttlit, promptitude, and vigour with which his
Lordship, by a combination of military with political talepts, had
sotictpated and encountered the proceedings of : an hostile confede-
racy among the Mohr:lna States, defeated their armies, reduced
them to sulimissiou, and materially lessened their means df future ag-
gression ; referring also to the resolution of the Court of Directors of
the 1 31arch, 1819, in which they appeal, at the close of two glo-
riots and successful wars, to the records of the East India Company,
for the great services which his Lordship's unwearied assiduity and
comprehensive knowledge of the Company's affairs had enabled him
to render to its most important interests: this Court cannot but
with the highest satisfaction witness their executive authority again
coining forward at the termination of a career so useful and bril-
liant, to express and promulgate their sense of his Lordship's ex-
alted merit, and their deep regrerthat domestic circumstances should
withdraw him from the Government of their Asiatic territories.
That this Court strongly participate in that regret, and request the
coverer Directors to convey to the Marquis of astings, Wirer-
nier-TGeneral and Commander-in-Chief, their expressions of their
unfeigned admiration, gratitude, and applause •
From the tine when this Resolution was so unani-
nsously adopted, he challenged the Court of Directors
to say in what Lord Hastings had failed to deserve a
continuance of their thanks and their gratitude. Had
an ping since come to light to shake their confidence
in Eis honour arid integrity ? If not, why not proceed
towards him in the ultimate reward, as in all previous
eases of meritorious Governors-General. He had now
strewn,- from authentic documents, the series of services
performed by the Marquis of Hastings, and why, he
repeated, was the usual reward withheld from such a
Nobleman? The Noble Marquis was not a man for
half measures, and he had given a dignified proof of
his high sense of feeling in the cild thaaks he had re-
turned to Parliament, fax the limited thanks (always ex-
cluding the policy, although the Ministers admitted it
in their speeches), which they Lad conferred upon his
measures. The Marquis of Hastings was re: mitted to
reere with just half the reward which the Marquis Wel-
lesley had received, although he (Lord Hastings) had
doubled their amount of stock. and increased their rank
and property througheut the whole of the Indian En.;
pire. The Honourable Proprietor concluded, -by an
eloquent appeal to the Court, to do justice tra.the into
grity, and honour, and services of the Marquis of Has
sings, and by apologizing to the Chairman for any
warmth which an honest and generous sense of feeling
Lad betrayed him into when he last addressed the Court
upon this subject. His motion as—
" Resolved, 'That this Court, recurring with undiminished pride
and gratihcatir to the repeated occasions on which the distin-
guished services rendered to the East India Company by the Most
Noble the Marquis of Hastings have been under its consideration,
and more espedtally to the 20ili day of December, 1816, and to
the 5d day of February, 1813, when the unanimous thanks of this
Court were bucceusivrly voted totals Lordship for the planning, con-
duct, and conclusion of two splendid military achievements ; and
which were again more especially acknowledged and rewarded by
a grant of £60,000, unanimously voted to the Marquis of Hastings
and his family, ou the Sib of May, 1819 ; and further adverting to
the unanimous expression on the 89th of May, 1822, of this Court's
high sense of the political and military talents displayed by the Go-
pleragne
e
veuor-General during nine years' administration of the Supreme
learnt
Power in India, as well of its deep regret at having then
his determination to return to Europe, is of opinion that the time
is at length arrived when .the splendid and glorious results of the
Marquis of Hastings Government, to the financial prosperity, and
to the permanent tranquillity of India, ought to beadquately re_
warded, as they are ►fully appreciated by die proplittors at large,

,
in common with their applauding countrymen, both in- Europ.:
and In Aria.
" That it be therefore referred to the Court of Directors, forth-
with to take into their consideration, and fo report to this Court,
the means and the measure of such a pecuniary grant, for the ap-
proval of this Court, as may be at once %worthy of-our gratitude for
the benefits received, and of the illustrious personage who has so
mainly contributed to the reigning tranquillity of their empire, and
the financial pro.perity of the Company. '
Mr. RANDLL.larasorr seconded the motion.

ion its brie; put ieom the Chair,
Mr. Joffe SMITH, M.P. said that he felt under con-
siderable difficulty as to the course which he ought to
pursue on the present occasion. He admitted the high
character of the Marquis of Hastings, the great achieve-
menti he had performed, and the gratitude he was
entitled to for his public set vices. But how did this
'question come before the Court ? Was there not some
difficulty in the consideration? What grounds were laid
for. its discussion ? With respect to the Noble Marquis s
military career in India, he believed it was very glo-
rious; but he (Mr. Smith) was one of those who looked
with a little jealousy upon wars in. India—(Hear). He
knew, indeed, that they were to be defended in a va-
'riety of ways; but the detentes set up were always
those l)y which the extraordinary man (Napoleon) who
had lately ceased to figure in the world, had sought tc
justify his military conquests. He was tree to confess,
that whatever opinion had been formerly entertained of
British policy in India, of late it became manifest that
the wants lind comforts of the native population were
Ala! a y s considered by the British authorities, and
their condition under the Government of the East
India Company uniformly improved—( Hear, hear).—
But in the reward of their public servants, the constitu-
tion of that Court reposed in the Court of Directors the
Iresponsible task of selecting and apportioning that re-
ward. What reason was there to doubt their decisii'n
in this particular case—had the Directors forfeited their
confidence? Before this question were entertained, he
thought it essential that some papers or documents, for
the purpose of giving the necessary information upon
the subject, should be called for and given tp the Court
of Proprietors, many of whom were, doubtless, as igno-
rant as himself upon the real merits of the case--(Hear.
hear).—He believed that the conduct of the Marquis of
Hastings would stand the fullest investigation. When
he said this, he knew'that some unfavourable, and he
believedainfounded; retorts had game abroad respecting
some loan at Hydrabad. That subject, for the sake of
the Noble Marquis, ought to be investigated ; and if
'any blame were imputable, then they could set off
against it the distinguished merits of the noble indivi-
dual throughout his general In aan government. For
the purpose of obtaining some information upon which
they could ground their proceedings, he would conclude
by moving, " That there be laid before the Court all
such papers or documents respecting the loans made
by Messrs. Palmer and Co. to his Highness the Nizam
at Hydrabad, as will enable this Court to decide upon
the merits of the Marquis of Hastings, and upon any
claim he may have on the liberality of this Company.'
The Hon. Gentleman observed, that he had heard the
rumour relative to the loan at Hydrabad, and he had
also heard, from the highest authority, that the state-
ment which had been insinuated respecting it was a de-
lusion, and utterly unfounded.
Mr. POYNDER seconded the amendment, because he
thought an inquiry was called for, aad was the wily way
of getting at the real facts.
The CHAIRMAN said, that in abstaining from replies
to certain questions which had been propounded to him
on the former day, he had only acted in obedience to
his senseof the official duty which his station in that
Court imposed on him. He was now gled to find' that
the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Kinnaird) had, with
the feelings which became a gentleman of his considera-
tion in society, disclaimed any intention, when he spoke
warmly, and was luirried away by his zeal, on the for-
mer day, of aspersing the conduct or motives of others.
He was sorry, with reference to the past, that the gallant
General (Sir John Doyle) had, on the former day, re-
frained from the courtesy usually shewn, of giving
-some private intimation before-hand of the questions
which he meant publicly to put. If he anssfeied in
one case, he might be called upon to answer in another;
and after the Court of Dilectors had declined, upon the
mere whisper pf rumour, to answer the specific inteiro-
gatories submitted by letter to them from the gallant
General's honourable relative (Colonel Doyle), it would
have been unseemly for him (the Chairman) to have
given an answer verbally to the same requisition, when
addressed to him in the public Court—(Hear, hear.) •
Mr. Hume saki, that respecting the amendment which
had been moved by his Honourable Friend (Mr. J.
Smith), he had a few words to say in the first instance;
and he seriously called his Honourable Friend's attention
to the position in which, if he persevered in his amend-
ment, he would place their proceedings. In the name
of common sense, how could it be said that they had
no information before them on which they could ground
their proceedings?—(Hear.) - Did not his Honourable
riend hear the different votes and resolutions, both of
Parliament and the East India Company, which had
been read by his Honourable Friend (Mr. Kinnaird) ?
I Had there not been, up to the period of the last vote,
when the Marquis of Hastings retired from India, the
most flattering and unequivocal testimonials of his
transcendent merit? What, then, had occurred since?
What had the Noble Marquis done since to forfeit their
confidence and esteem ? There was a rurnourahat the
Court of Directors had refused him the retiring pension
of £5,000 a year ; that was a mere rumour—(A cry. of
" Mr. Pattison said so"); but still it wanted the sanction
of authority. Let them have all the papers shewing
the administration of the Noble Marquis, and then they
could form a just estimate upon the whole case. Why
specify particular or isolated documents ?—( Hear.)
With reference to the affair at Hydrabarf, either the
Noble Marquis was to blame, or he was not: if the
former, why not make the charge boldly ? The Noble
Marquis challenged investigation ; and even supposing
that an error of judgment could be discovei ed in that
Nobleman, was that alone to rivet and absorb their at-
tention, and turn aside their contemplation from the
brilliant career of his services in India ? They would
neither perform their duty to that Court, nor justice to
themselves, if they stopped short at the receipt of the
information comprehended in the amendment, and did
not include the larger inquiry.
Sir Joule Dana said, that he had to apologize to
them fur intruding this day upon their attention. He
had come prepared to take a comprehensive view of thg
whole question of the Marquis of Hastings's Govern-
mein_ in India: but the new and unexpected turn which
the.subject had taken, in consequence of the amend-
ment, rendered it necessary that he should entirely
abandon the ground which he previously meant to. oc-
cupy. With respect to the want of courtesy with which
he had been charged by the Chairman, he really con-
fessed, that of all his faults, that was the last •he ex-

pected so have had to answer for i nothing was farther
from his intention than to haveevinced a want of cour-
tesy to the Chairman; indeed, he thought the mode he
had adopted was exactly that which would have been
deemed the Most Courteous, under circumstances in
which they were placed. He had first asked the Chair.-
man, in his capacity as a Director, to answer hiM the
question he had put on a former day ; but there official
etiquette interposed, and no answer was to be had. Ile
(Sir John) turned round a second time, and thought he
could at once hit the Chairman —(A laugh) —not
by asking him a question officially, but by putting one
to him as an honest man. That was, he thought, the'
plain and ingenuous course; and before 'the Public, he.
had expected to receive a plain, a candid, and a fair
answer. All he asked in behalf of his Noble Friend.'
the Marquis of Hastings, was full and open discussion
..—no whispering, no insinuations, nothing but plain
dealing—(Hear, hear). With these feelings and these
expectations; be was astonished at the course which
had been taken this. day. Nothing coming from so
deservedly honourable a man surprised him so much as
the amendment; for if ever a friend, meaning; and
honestly meaning, to promote inquiry,had by his pro-,
ceeding, rivetted; and dovetailed, and fastened in a ca-
lumny, to affect a great public character, that was done
this day by his Honourable Friend in shaping his amend-
ment. Indeed, he deprecated the qualified way in which
the general question of the Marquis of Hastings's services
had been taken off. He wanted no reservation—let his
character be alike estimated, and his claims rewardeal, as
a statesman and a soldier. Let his policy aad his achieve.
ments be considered together. He (Sir John Doyle) was
at once prepared to justify the militat y system of his No-
ble Friend in India. His wars were not wars of aggres-
sion, but for the resistance of attack—for the very exist-
ence and salvation of the British empire in India--( Hear).
How was it, then, that his Honourable Friend confined
his amendment to the false calumny in a contemptible
newspaper about the Ilydrabad loan ? He was afraid
that his Honourable Friend had heard from one Direc-
tor this Hydrabad story, and that some mean imposi-
tion had been attempted to be played off upon him in
this business. He objected to any garbled papers : as
the friend of the Marquis of HaatiAgs, he demanded the
production of all the papers connected with his whole
administration—he challenged inquiry from first to last,
and scorned any set-off or sompromise—(Loua cries of
ffear).—What he wanted *was discussion in fair open
day, and not in close conclave—(Hear.)—lf they sup-
posed, when. he objected to this amendment, that he
wanted to have a single paper kept back, they vete
egregiously mistaken —he wanted all : in the simple and
expressive phrase, what he wanted was " the truih, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth"—(Hear)
Mr; R. JACKSON entirely disapproved of the amend-
ment, and, expressed his surprise that his Itonourable
Friend should have confined his view of the inquiry to
a statement whiCh he, at the same instant, declared he
believed to be untrue—thus, as it were, sanctioning
within doors a polluted paragraph which some calum-
niator had circulated without. He strongly deprecated
such a course of proceeding, as tending to shut out the
general consideration of the merits of the Marquis of
Hastings in the whale system of Indian government. In
every way, but in none more than in a pecuniary way,
had they benefited by the career of the Noble Marquis,
and was this to'be his final treatment ? The Honourable
and Learned Gentleman took a review of the improved
state of their finances during the administration of
the Marquis of Hastings. In 1813, when the Noble
Lord went out to India, so low was their credit, that
their Bonds were at a discount of 12 per cent, When
he left India, they bore a premium of 14 and 16 per
cent.—(Hear, hear). 'ln 1814, (30th April), in their trea-
sury they had six millions. In 1822, when the Marquis
left India, they had twelve millions—exactly double—
(Hear)—an additional sum which would have covered
the whole expenses of his Indian administration (Hear).
The average of the twenty years investments before the
Noble Marquis went to India was 450,000/. on his re-
turn it was 1,30,0001. In the revenue, the excess
was now six millions; and obtSined, not by grinding
taxation, for the Marquis of Hastings did not lay on a
single impost, but by encouraging and protecting the
industry of the inhabitants—(Hear.) For the part which
Sir David Ochterlony had had in the Pindarree cam-
paign, they voted him a pension of 1,000/. a year: that
gallant Officer was afterwards deputed to visit and
,survey the districts from which the Pindarrees were
'effectually expelled, and he had reported, that he had
found throughout, except on the spot where Scindiah's
near relatives resided, nothing but peace and plenty,
happiness and comfort—every tongue eloquent in praise
of British rule, and grateful for British protection—
(Hear, hear). The same description was also given of
the same regions by Sir John Malcolm. • He had
watched the footsteps of the Marquis of Hastings
throughout the whole of his Indian career, and was
proud to do homage to the wisdom and statesman-like
sagacity of his plans, and the consummate skill with
which he had always cat tied them into execution. He dis-
claimed the argument of set off —( Hear.) If any man
meant to impeach a particle of the Noble Marquis's
conduct, let him come forward openly, and put his
charge in a tangible shape—(Hear.) He hoped the
amendment would be withdrawn.

Mr. J. SMITH justified the course he had taken, and
disclaimed any desire of countenancing any calumny
against the Noble Marquis. If it were his own brother,
he would have taken a similar course. He positively
declared that he had not received a particle of informa-
tion from any Director in this business—he had heard
of the rejection of the vote of .5,0001. a year merely as
a common topic of conversation. He repeated, that his
sole object was to promote inquiry, not to limit it.
When the one subject was introduced, the wider clues.
Lion could be argued. He never heard before this day
that the Marquis of Hastings had been rewarded upon
a smaller scale than any previous Governor.
Mr. DOUGLAS KINNAIRD said, that in 1803 the Mar-
quis Wellesley
.had received a settlement of 5,0001. a
year, which was antedated six years—thus at once put-
ting 30,000/. into his pocket; the 5,0001. a year was
settled upon him until the expiration of their charter ;
and when that expired, the same income was settled
on him for life —not so in the Marquis of Hastings's case.
The CHAIRMAN said, that the Hon. Proprietor' was
mistaken. It was in 1800 the first pension was settled
on the Marquis Wellesley, and it was only antedated
• two years (to 1798.)
Mr. ELPHINSTONE strongly objected to the amend-
ment, and declared, that if nobody else voted for the
production of the general papers, he should feel it his
duty to do so. They met there as merchants ; and he
would pledgqiniself in the result of the cash-account,
to show that the Marquis of Hastings had placed to
their credit half a million at one side, while they had
heard of only the Ilydrabad shilling; at the other-0

lough); which shilling, he pledged himself, shuuld not
-remain one minute there, the moment the inquiry com-
menced—(Lond cries of " Hear").
Mr. Douol. is KINNAIRD said, that he meant his in.
quiry to comprehend the minutest points.
• Mr. bier.lf was strongly of opinion that the whole of
the papers, and not a portion for a specific object, shunld
be furnished. On the subject of the Hydrabad: loan,
the•report WAS, and it was merely a report, that the
Government of
_Bengal had sanctioned a loan to 4
native Prince, contras y to an express law.
Mr. PETER Moon! said, that before Lord Moira went
to India, he (Mr: Moore) had read to him a speech :!f
his which he delivered in that Court, pointing ut the
necessity of extinguishing that Mahratta confederacy.
He was, therefore, upon that point particularly plcu
of the Noble Marquis's ultimate and triumphant st!c-
cess--(t/ear, and a laugh).
Mr. TRANT also enforced the necessity of a lull in.
quiry, but could not permit the merits of the Matculis
of Hastings, however high, to supersede or cast into
the shade those of his predecessors, whose career had
been equally brilliant. Ile remembered, when he fir,t
went out to India, the Marquis Wellesley was engaged
in a brilliant military career, and his H n. Friend near
him (Sir David Baird) was then acquiring renown at
the storming of Seringapatam. Ile would vote for the
production of the general papers.--A long conversa-
tion then arose respec.ing the wording of the motion tor
papers, in which .Mr. 'Ormond, Mr. Hume, Mr. Weed.
ing, 'and Mi. Pattiscin took a part, when—
The CHAIRMAN, addressing himself to the Mover
of the Amendment, proposed another, Which he thought
would meet with the general concurrence of the Court—
" That there should be laid before the Court all Correspondence
and Documents found on the public records of the House with re-
gird to the Administration of Lord Ilastings,:sliclimigwlitaseipla :
the Court to judge of thipropriety of entertaining the question of
any fair remuneration to the late Governor-General."
Mr. KINNAIRD wished, before the question
to state, that all he wanted was to have a Report
from the Court of Directors, as to whether they could
recommend a free grant to the Proprietors or not.—
It seemed novel to take the thing out of the hands of

the Directors,• and lay the papers at once befote the
Proprietors. . It was for the Directors to give their opi-
nion, one way or the other.
The CHAIRMAN thought the better way would he to
agree to the amendment, and then the Proplieiors and
friends of the Marquis would haie an opportunity of
stating their opinions.
The CHAIRMAN then put Lis amendment,' which was
carried in the affirmative, and the papers were also cm-
dered to be printed.

We have received a further supply of Charleston
Papels, but not of later date than those which we an.
nounced yesterday. It is stated in one of them that a
vessel from Vera Cruz had brought intelligence that
the troops in the castle of St. Juan aeUlloa were nearly
reduced to extremity for want of provisions, and that
disturbances had in consequence taken place among
them. Another vessel, from Alvarado, is also said to
have clmmtmicated information, that on the anival in
Mexico of the news of the overthrow of the Constitu-
tional systerti in Spain, two of the fortified places in the
interior had declared for Ferairsa ND, but this latter fact
is considered to rest on very doubtful ant hority.

It appears by the last letters from Constantinople,
that the SULTAN has entirely changed his conduct to-
wards the Greek population of that capital. They a:e
now treated• with more leniency, and a promise has
been made to them, that if they remain tranquil, and
the Porte should succeed in its efforts to crush Greek
independence, many of the humiliating distinctions with
which they are now afflicted shall be removed. The
SULTAN has issued a Firman, authorising the Greeks
who had been banished to return to the capital, and
calling on all the public functionaries to afford them:pro-
iection. The Pacha of Salonica has also been pub-
licly tlfanked for the promptitude with which he pu-
nished the Aga of the Janissaries, and the leaders of
the revolt, in which the house of the French Consul was
attacked, and his son nearly murdered, on account of
the protection which the latter had afforded to a Greek
child, who had been forcibly seized by' a Nlusselman
the door of a Greek Church, on pr;tence that he was a
slave. In consequence of the extraordinary mildness ef
the weather, two or three symptoms of the plague had
manifested themselves in the quarter adjoining the Para,
but by prompt attention they had heen•subdued, and no
danger of infe:tion was appretended.
