yet the manner in which the liberty of the press had been crushed in India was deserving of the gravest consideration. The liberty of the press may, perhaps, be legally restrained in this country, but certainly there is not any statute for that, purpose. Now, the Governors-General of India are only empowered to make such alterations in the internal police of that country as are not inconsistent with the law of England; in this instance, however, they have deviated widely from the laws of England, for they have crushed the freedom of the press in India, without the shadow of a legal proceeding. This instance of oppression is important, not merely in its individual application, but also as a specimen of the tyranny which galls a hundred millions of his Majesty's subjects. He had called the war in India unprofitable as well as unjust, and he repeated the term, although some hon. gentlemen affected to be blind to the connexion between war and profit; but Government had always considered the wars in India in that point of view; it was deemed the greatest merit of the Marquess Wellesley to have added a large revenue to cur Indian dominions. The hon. gentleman then proceeded to state, that he had just received letters from India, written by persons of character and good sense, all which corroborated the low opinion he entertained of Lord Amherst, not in his private capacity (for he might be an amiable or even an able man in domestic life), but solely as arbiter of the destinies of so many millions. The hon. gentleman then read a few sentences from his letters, which generally complained of the imbecility of the present government of India. He then proceeded to say these were the opinions of persons the best calculated to judge of Indian affairs, and whether Lord Amherst was capable or not, he was unfit to preside over a great empire while the unanimous voice of the people was against him. India was filled with alarm; twelve regiments had been despatched to the western country, and no one could account for it, while every little disaster spread a double gloom from the want of confidence in the presiding authority.

Mr. Freemantle assured the hon. gentleman that the tone of Indian correspondence was not uniformly melancholy : every letter he read afforded expectation of a speedy and honourable termination to the war. With respect to the degree of confidence which the Court of Directors reposed in Lord Amherst, the hon. gen tleman ought to know that, if the Court, of Directors were dissatisfied with his lordship. they had it in their power to recal him; therefore that point was also replied to. But what could be more unbecoming than to attack the character of

Lord Amherst with scraps from anonymous letters:

(Mr. Hume denied that they were anonymous.)

The hon. gentleman proceeded. - Would the House believe-would the country believe that Lord Amherst was to be decided on by this sort of evidence? It did not become the hon. gentleman to endeayour to raise an odium agamst an individual by vague and sweeping declarations." Let him not rely on letters penned, perhaps, by ignorance or malice; but if he had any precise point for any specific cause of dissatisfaction, let him bring it forward in a definite shape, and he had no doubt his right hon. friend (Mr. Wynn) would lend him his aid in its investigation.

Mr. Wynn thought that nothing could be more unfair than to judge of the conduct of the Governor General from the innumerable letters of idle gossip of which India was so prolific, and which seemed as if written for amusement, merely to try how far the credulity of those who read them would go.

Mr. Hume said the letters were as much to be depended on as any read by the right hon, gentleman; but facts viewed with cold indifference here made a deep impression on those near the scene. In the unfortunate affair at Barrackpore, the native troops had represented to government that they were unable to march from the effects of disease, and no notice whatever was taken of their complaints. If this report be true, does not some blame attach to government? When it took the resolution of dismissing the regiment, did it not involve indiscriminately the innocent and the guilty? It subjected to indignities men of high religious caste, an imprudence, the consequences of which could be only estimated by persons practically acquainted with the country. If he did not produce documents to support his allegations, it was only because he was unable to procure them; they were refused to him at the India House, and wherever else he sought them. He was taunted for not producing papers which the possessors of them were uniformly careful to withold.

Mr. Freemantle assured the hon. gentleman that he was mistaken when he asserted that the complaints of the troops were not listened to; on the contrary, no cessation of correspondence between the government and the troops occurred up to the fatal moment, but every exertion had been made to prevent the ripening of the discontent. The government had even consented to treat with any person in whom the troops could confide, but found all their overtures rejected. respect to the health of the native army, many misstatements had gone abroad, of which one might serve as an example.

With

In the course of last year it was reported that in one regiment (the 30th) there was not one soldier capable of doing duty. Now the fact was, that that regiment never had less than 300 men capable of service. This was one example of the nature of gossiping information.

February 22.

East-India Jury Act. Mr. Wynn, moved for leave to bring in a bill to regulate juries in India. As the law stood at present, by the construction of the Supreme Court in India, all but British-born subjects were excluded from juries. He would give the most extended interpreta→ tion to the law. He would consider all persons born in the British dominions British subjects. The Supreme Court in India gave a contrary interpretation of the law on this point, and it therefore became necessary to amend the law itself. There was a large proportion of the population, denominated the half-caste, who were excluded from juries, as well as the illegitimate children of European parents. Could any one suppose that this was consistent with British legislation? His object was to admit all good and sufficient persons to serve on juries in India. He would make one exception, that all who tried Christians should be of the Christian faith.-Leave granted.

LAW.

PRIVY COUNCIL, February 4. Appeal. The East India Company ap pellants; the widow and children of the late Nawaub of the Carnatic respondents.

This was an appeal from a decision of the Court of Equity at Madras, in May 1820. The question now before their lordships was whether it could be entertained after such delay.

Mr. Serjeant Bosanquet and Mr. Serjeant Spankie were heard for the appellants, and contended that no laches could be imputed to the Company; at all events, the importance of the case claimed the exercise of the regal prerogative, tó permit them to be heard upon the merits.

Mr. Horne and Dr. Lushington, for the respondents, insisted that the appellants had neglected to lodge in due time their proper documents, though twice ordered by the board. The delay was given to the appellants; while the respondents were destitute.

Their lordships admitted the appeal, on condition that the Company reimbursed the respondents all costs and expences incurred by the delay.

MONUMENT TO THE LATE MR. GRANT

A superb monument to the late Charles Grant, Esq., by Bacon, has been erected in the western gallery of Bloomsbury Church, at the expence of the Hop. East India Company.

SUICIDE OF MAJOR WOOD.

The sudden and very deplorable termination of the existence of this gentleman, at his lodgings, No. 12, Park Street, Grosvenor Square, on the 8th Feb., has created the most painful feelings amongst a very extensive circle of friends. The deceased was one of the general prize agents for the army of the Deccan. He served in India in the 2d, or Queen's Own Regiment, and at the time of his decease belonged to the 71st regt. of foot. He was a nephew of Sir Thomas Hislop, and was married to a lady by whom he had three children now living. His lady died about twelve months ago. The Major had been very much depressed in spirits for some time; and since the decision of the Lords of the Treasury, relain a state of mind bordering on frenzy. tive to the Deccan prize-money, he was In consequence of alleged pecuniary embarrassments, he gave up his house, No. 119 in Park Street, a short time ago, and took lodgings at No. 12 in the same street. On the morning of the 8th Feb. the Major wrote a letter to a solicitor, who is concerned in the affairs of India, and sent it by a servant. During his absence the Major wrote several other letters, and one he left unfinished on his desk, and proceeded up stairs to his office, where he opened a trunk, out of which he took a pair of pistols. He loaded one of them. with ball, and fired it into his mouth, The report of the pistol was not heard by the inmates of the house. His death must have been instantaneous. A coroner's inquest was held before J. H. Gell, Esq., at the lodgings. The jury took a view of the body; several witnesses were called, who deposed to the dejected state of the deceased; and the jury returned a verdiet- The deceased shot himself when in a state of insanity."
