of this

Renewal of the Charter was decided,. The Rom
was probably aware that very extensive advances had
been made by the Company for the purpose of car-
rying on naval and military operations on the Indian
Seas, and since the capture of Mauritius and Java
by their aid, no hostile flag floated in that Archi.
pelage. In future, therefore, after they were re-
imbursed the amount now due, only .the ordinary
naval and military charges would be incurred. Java
was not likely to be a burdensome possession, though
at Mauritius it would probably be found necessary
to maintain a large establishment. To the charge

felt it so necessary to preserve'and keep up-the Con.
solidated Fund, that it was better net to touch those
taxes, particularly in war ; but rather to resort to
new ones. Ile should propose now about a million
of permanent taxes, to make good the charges en the
Sinking Fund, and 100,000h-1n aid of the taxes of
last year, when the Auction Tax was, given .nt:t.!—•
The last he would make good by an additional duty
on Tobacco. The tax ou which, last year, was esti-
mated at 100,0001. only, and no inconvenience had
resulted. lie should propose a duty of equal amount,
which he should take at 115,0001. But the princi.

Lord Eardley was haw. conception
whit had been stated by the servants was foetid to
be inaccurate ; no mention was ever made to any
one, not even to the Lords who conducted the en-
quiry, three years afterwards, of the particulars
related by the servants ; and the .circumstance'
never would have been known at all, had
not the legal advisers of the Princess, for the
sake of putting a false colour on that investigation,
indiscreetly brought it forward. The death of Ken-.
ny, in the interval, tetnpted them to xisk this pro-
cedure. Jonathan Partridge having been known at.
the time when he %as questioned to be devoted to
the Princess, from his own declaration to the Steward,'
no one can doubt but that her Royal Highness would
the next day be informed by him of his having been
examined. The measure was most offensive, if not
justified by some uncommon peculiaritary of circum-
stance. I'm a'•soiute silence is preserved upon it for
so long a period by her l?oyal Highness's advisers ; a
forbearance only to he solved by their,being too cau-
tions to tou:•it utson the point while Kenny was alive."
From the obvious meaeirgef which, it would seem as
if his Lordship meant to sty that the legal advisers
of the Princess were apprehensive that the evidence
of Kenny, shuuld he be called upon, might lead to
attach to her Royal ilighoess same degree of Mini.
reality. It seemed to insinuate that Kenny was is
. possession of certain facts which it would be impru.
dent in the advisers-of the Princess of Vale to have
made public. His Lordship was anxious to Ana.
sate himself from having acted in an unbecoming
manner irrthe examination of Kenny and Partridge.
.But how could his Lordship explain what be lies said
about Partridge beiyg at the devotion of thst.-Ptiuebu
- of Wales? Wee it not necessary, whets saeh idtputa.
lions were thrown out, to have this matter explained
before Lord Moira's departure! Ha (hir. Whitbread)
had endeavoured to give this paragraph some other
meaning; bet the obvious letavoretation of that part
which referred to Kenny was that. which the Public
had put upon it. While Lord Moira was in England,
this matter wool,' be capable of explaoadon—after
his departure, this would be .impossible.• He was,
therefore, under the necessity* of bringing forward I
motion without -a previous sodas ; the object of
which was, to bring his Lordship to make the re-
quired explanation before the Representitivet of the
that

thing of human feelings, or luaitin natal*, must
be conv(Aced that such revivals, sod so frequent,
of so delicate a subject in the House," were not cal-
culated to promote peace, but alienation and resent-
ment.
Mr. WIIITSREAD then rose to re-state.part of
what he had already said, as the. Right Hon. Gentle-
man (Mi. Canning) and several other Members had
since that time come. into the House. He, at first,
had some difficulty in finding out Lord Moira's opi-
nion in the paragraph relating to Kenny; but had
formed his mind upon it, after, he said, what was
the interpretation put upon it. by the public. He
felt no animosity against that Noble Lord, but he
wished to give him an opportunity of stating his
own explanation to the public. Ile was not him-
self, in any part of these proceedings, influenced by
party motives, lie had wished that all those late
examinations, which were and must. be so hateful -to
the worthy part of the public, had been early sus.
pended. Nor. didtewish for the appearance of such
a letter as that of the Noble Karl, after they had
been supposed to be given up. At present it was
unnecessary for him to do that, which he had so
,often befbre done on this subject, namely, to court
enquiry. There was no step, either on the part of
this House, or on that of the Prince Regent, for
the purpose of putting a seal on this unhappy -busi-
ness., which could be less grateful to the Princess of
Wales, than that .mooting any question about an
establishcneut for her, in the Rouse of Commons.—
The Letter of Lord Moira. could not be intended,
itoff it was not calculated; to please her Royal High-
ness. Mr. Whitbread .then apologized to the
..Speaker for the Irregularity of his motion: but he
wished to have It recorded on their Journels, on the
part of a few Members of the House of Commons,
that they wished. an opportunity to be 'given the
.NoWe. Karl for making any necessary explanation.

for those captures wattlikewise to be added the ex-
pence of building ships in Asia, which formed no
inconsiderable item. The practice he should now
recommend• was that pursued iu former years, viz.
to vote on account a sum that would not completely;
but nearly cover the claim of the Company. Their
demand amounted to 9491,0001. and he should
move that two millions be given in part payment.—
He concluded, therefore, by proposing a Resolution
to that effect.
Mr. BARING enquired whether the 2,294,0001.1
included the whole claim of the East India Com-
luny ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.]
replied, that the demand of the Company was no
more, but that Government bed claims upon them,
in pursuance of Resolutions of Committees, that
would make considerable deductions, which claims,
however, the Company disputed.
Mr. FREMANTLE begged to know whether the
Company was likely ,to make any future call ppoo
Parliament ? no;
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
sail, that he was unable distinctly to answer the
question. Ue then re-stated the origin of the present
demand of the Company.
Mr. BARING asked, whether any loan would'
be required during the present year by the East India
Company ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
•added, that the loan wifeld depend upon several can-
tingencies, but principally upon the amount' of the
'remittances from Bengal. Unless they were ob-
tained, most probably the liberality of Parliament
would be called Upon to grant them further
.aid. A
great deal would depend, however, upon the ar-
•rangements made regarding the Renewal of the
Charter.
Mr., PONSONBY wished to know what flit
Cheeeeiter- of- the Eschew, 11611114 t by the wood'
aid,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUERIe‘
plied, that it meant that the Company should be ef-
lowod to employ Its 'bwn credit, to raise tioney,,spi
to be assisted by the guarantee of the public.
The Resolution was then agreed to, and the
House being resumed the Report was 'brought up,

, _.. ~ut me pn.._
pal portion of the pertnanept duties be should seek
in the Customs. There might be danger in taxation
under other heads offtevedue. The Excise wouldllet
be so safe, ands the Stantp Duties had been recently
much increased. .fie vai booed, therefore, to
go to the Customs as the simplest mode, and on t basis
so extended, as to take the Consolidated Customs
to the-extent of 8 or 900,00Q1. exempting tea, sugar,
wine, raw silk, and cotton wool. No large increase
on this head had occurrence 1894 : a very small
one had in 1805. Though the pi eseut measure was
considerable, it would be- felt that circumstances
much alleviated its pressure. Foreign: articles had
lately been much affected by freight, insuraace, apt!,
the course of exchange. Another tax he should pro-
. pose, was an excise duty ou French sines, which
were merely articles of luxury, confined chiefly to
the higher orders, and which, if it could not he
checked, were perhaps better prohibited.—plcur 1
Thirteen-pence a bottle would make eighteen-peace
a :bottle to the consumers : this would produce
about 39,0001. .But even were the receipt less, he
he should think it a proper tax. Thus he should
provide 85d,001. front the consolidated custom!,
'.1110,0001. odd from tobacco, anti 30,0001. from
French wines, in order to meet 870,0001. for the
Sinking Fund, and 100,0001. to make good last
year's supplies. Though he had not now taken up
• the Auction Duty again, he had not lost sight of it ;
phut might yet think it proper to propose something
ken that subject for the prevention .of . frauds. lie
had also some War Taxes to propose, In Which he
had one particular object, namely, to provide.* par.
ticular sum equal to that of the ene per-Cent. Sinking
Fund. The War Taxes appeared to himinstitied by
the general circumstances of trade. There might be
a general increase on all goods the manufactures of
the French empire, or of countries dependent
'thereon. At present such importations were, it wes
lionsa, suspended by the-refusal of Heences ; but yet
:einsiderable (mollifies had fOund their way. . While
~tali, exportatioos were resisted-by FrettekDrrees, he
thought it fair and politic, at fai ;ea-possible,
We " Should' retaliate.-[Hear r}—Such • additional
duties might also be so moderate as ant to encoursgo
illicit trade. Be woßld not double the 'Witt' duty, but
-4 an addition of two.thieds,•thereby making
ldli-

people. Ffe Was of opinion, this subject would
never be wholly closed ap•uatil some advice was
given to the Prince Regent by his Ministers upon it,
It was necessary that some ad of recognition of the
Innocence of the Princess of Wales should take
place ; whether this was,done bi- the} .torsi of. a sepa-
rate establishment,- suitable to ber tank, or in any
other Fay that should be deemed more advisa►le.
Ile concluded by moving, that a Message be sent to
the Lords, requesting their Lordships' permission for
the attendance of the Earl of Moira in the louse
of Commons, for the purpose of giving the tequired
explailatiou.

reduring any of these War Duties might be left with
the Privy Council.• Thii duty,
.he thought, might
produce about 250,0001. It might be calculated,
under circumstances, even to three times that amount,
but whatever surplus it produced, would be carried
to the ‘trar Taxes. The Right Hon. Gentleman then.
moved his first Resolution.
Mr. All ING. said, that certainly nothing could'
be more explicit and intelligible than the statement
of the Itight -lion, Gentleman, while there was every
reason to believe, that the provision which he pro.
posed to make, world he sufficiently ample to cover
the expellee to be incurred. fp the observations
which he (Mr. II.) had to.vnake, he should confine
tiniself to the proposed tax on..cotton which he con-
- . sidered as a quectioll of the very first importance.—
It woild he recollected that a similar tax was pro'-
. ,
posed by Mr. Pereeval, bet from fife apprehensions it
Iscited among the Manufacturers it wasioon aban-
_ _

~ned, which he trusted wenhl be the case also on the

present occasion. Diming hogrilities with America, it
wakevidetft, that,if cotton came at all from thence, it
miust come in neutral *toms, and were this measure
carriecf,.trueld pat s duty of 9d. per pound.
prime cost of the article in America was only about
41. per pound. The imposition, therefore, of so
bi,:h a duty, became a quertion of theutmost delicacy,
inasmuch as it operated to produce competition
agaiast our manol'aotures both in America and on the
Cominent. It should be the first principle of every
country which carried nn manufactures to a great ex.
tent, to get the raw material wherever it was cheapest ;
and he trusted, that if this measure was persisted in,
