The Marquis of WELLESLEY wished to know
• about what time it was likely the East India Ques-

not rise for the purpose of extracting from Ministers
now any information on the topics connected with
that question, but .it would be desirable to
know, from his Noble Friend at the head. of the
Board of Controul, in what shape it was intended.
;to bring it forward, as suggestions might then be
made of importance to.the question, or Noble Lords
would have the opportunity of proposing any other
anode in which it seemed to them expedient that the
question should be shaped:
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE stated, that
it was impossible for him at the present moment to
give a definitive answer to his Noble Friend's goes-
,tion, as he happened to know from unquestionable
authority, that the East India Company had not
yet determined whether or not they would petition
Parliament for a Renewal of their Charter. Until,
'therefore, they had come to some decision upon.
• that point, it was impossible for Government to de-
. termine in what shape the question should bebrought
before Parliament. It was, however, of great im-
portance that the subject srould be commenced early
. In the Session.
