On the return of Marquis WiLLESLE? to Eng.

difficulties and dangers, and which were due to him

of Commons by perfons who know the tales they
alien to be Malone, and all but soured criminally
at the India Houfe, for e.nploying the money re,
quirFcl for piece goods and other merchandife, in anti-
hilating the French influence throughout Hindoflan. ,
—The treatment he has expetienced from fume
Members of an enlightened Btitifh Senate, is car.
tainly molt highly difguffing to the tenability of a
gallant mind, confcious of its own worthinefs. It is
natural for the Court of Diredors to eftimate the
merits of the Governors in India, by the number and
value of the cargoes which they fend to England,
rather than by the talents difplayed in the molt brit.
liant military exploits, or by the fagacity evinced in
the molt fuccefiftil political negociations—,The views
of all commercial men being principally confined is
labials of immediate profit, they are difpofed to sp
preciaae very thofe acquifitions of which the
commercial benefits are apparently remote—Hence
little value has been fet on the fucceffils of MOOS
WiiLLESLEY ; as to effect them, he was compelled to
diminifh rather than increafe the invetiments ofuallf
fen: from Britifh India to this Country.
The preceding, with the exception of the name of
Marquis WELLESLEY for Bofchhouveur, is almoß a
literal extra 4 from the Ailatic Xegillet: the analogy
is however fo fit corre4, that the focceflial to tie
Noble Marquis will do well to keep it in rem*

fictitious tales of cruelties in India, which like a
interetting novel to a young girl, tends to bias the
opinion, and we all know the extreme difficulty is

they may appear to our riper judgments.
It certainly is not furprifing that an event, bows
