ion of the noble duke was, he should not offe
opposition. It was confined entirely to military services, and
as it did not pledge them to any approval of the political pro-
ceedings of the Governor-General, he was content to sup-
port it, more particularly, as it would be unjust not to ac-
knowledge the brilliant efforts of the military chiefs who con-
he quick f ducted the war to a successful close.

Lord FITZGERALD made some observations in defence of
Lord Ellenborough, and warmly eulogised the conduct of all
who were engaged in the recent transactions in India.

He complained that

the papers were meagre as to the occurrences on the retreat
of the army, some of which seemed to him to merit strong
animadversion.

Lord iiuouCHAII defended the conduct of Lord Ellen-
borough, and said that no man ever undertook the
government of India under circumstances of greater diffi-
culty ; and if he had displayed great caution, extreme cau-

"
ninth to charge him with being vacillating and irresolute?
For three months Lord Ellenborough had been exposed to
abuse, the gentlest terms of which were "base ' " un-
English,"
recreant," " cowardly," but the parties resorting
to this species of vituperation were like superannuated vipers
—they had the bag of poison, Out they wanted the perforated
teeth through which to spurt it forth. All the grounds of
abuse against the noble lord were, however, at once removed
bye perusal of these papers.

The Bishop of SALISBURY, in reference to the proclamation
of Lord Ellenborough, described it as a most unhappy oc-
currence.
