the Company’s service. Tfcjudulia, a fort too miles from
Calcutta, had surrendered to the Company’s arms, and

Patna, had ralfcd an ar my of .20,000 men, and was upon
the march'to join the Company ‘s troops. The action at
Cullaftadorc was in favour of the Company’s army ; Lieut,
Col. Andrews, with his detachment, had taken Sempa
vara lorr, which belonged to Jan Aldeil Beig, brother to
.the Rajah of Patna, in Which were upwards of 80 pieces
of cannon, and 160.0 men, who surrendered to the Colonel
at diferetion. This Raj-h’s brother is in the interest of
the French, eonfequently in that of Ilyder Ally, but is
too weak to Hand again!! his brother united with the Com

On the 24th. Jnft'bthe Earl of TJalhoufie, (his Majcfty ;
High Commissioner to the Church of Scotland) attended
by levers! Noblemen and Gentlemen, walked in prccc.Tion
to the High Church of-Edinburgh, the 25th regiment and
city guard lining the. rtreets, After an excellent hifeourie
preached by the Rev. Pn.feiTor Spence of St. Andrew's,
the 1 aft Moderator, his Giate the Commifiioocr went to
the Affem'bly Room, and the Members proceeded to . hdofe
a Moderator. 1 lie Rev. Dr. Dalrymple, Miniller at
Ayr, was unanimously chofeau
His Maiefty’s commiflion. and warrant for 1000 L to be
employed in the propagation oTthe Proteftant’Reftigion in

After which his G race the CdmmiiJioner opened the Al

Yeftcrday, in the House of Commons.. Mr. Hartleyla.-
mented the ill success that had on former occailons at
tended the motions similar to that he was now about to
snake relative to America. He owned his own incapacity
to repreleffTthe ncccffity of the measure with the force he
could wife, and which die matter required ; but the great
importance of the business urged him to bring it once
more forward, and hoped for the assistance of gentlemen
who were pofifefTcd of greater abilities. He said the Amer*
yican war had btcn vcry duftxu£live both.-to them and to
this country, and therefore moved that It he taken into
serious confnlei ation, and a plan formed to conic to an a
Sir P. J. Ci. ike m a few words in defence of the mo
tion, and seconded it.
Sir G. SavTle rose, and exprelTcd great indignation at
so threat c-.intempt ; “he thought rhat if they vveie Hot ‘iii
cl.iß.cd to accede to tho proposition, they oupht at leal!, in
common dmeerrey, to afhgn fome reason for -ciicir Conduct,
and not piss the matter over in contemptuous silence,
Lord North aiTured the Honourable Baronet that his si
lence did r.-fK proceed 4rom any want of refpeft for the
House, and that his only reason for not speaking to the
cuellion was, that the lubjr £1 had been so, often difcufie.d
before, tbat.ke thought it ntcdlefs to debate it anymore.
In his opinion, such a bill as the Honourable Mlcniber had
moved f r was totally unnecefllry, because, if the King
‘was iiifcliiied to make peace upon terms that would disho
nour him, he. h,ul already as ample powers as he could
■wife for ; it was a part of his prerogative to make peace
nnd war, and therefore he had no occ.tfiou to apply for new
pdwCrs while he was already veiled with fuffi-ient contli
tutional powers to make peace-. It was true, indeed, that,
in making peace, .there--n-iight occur certain points on
•which it would be necessary to consult with Parliament,
but whim thefo cases foould offer then it would be time
enough to apply to Parliament. n ßut it was not necelT.iry
Lo make that application now, on account of the a& for
allowing to the commandersand companies of men of war
the American property they feould U lac. That a£t cer
tainly was.calculated to operate only ag long as iioftilities
ihpuld la ft, and therefore, as soon us tire King ihould put
an end tohoftifities, the operation of ihc adi would cease
ofconrfie. -
atldwe.d thachis TvLtjtfi.y had the power nFfffZ*
tering into a War and making.pawce with foreign powers,
but this jpo* not a war, it was only a rebellion or infuri er
tion'in the colonies to do themfeives juftiev when they
- thought thtmfcßcs pppreffed, and troops Were font to
cjueil the said infurre6lit>n. In tlys calc his Majcfty might
fiat to thing without thfif lut what
fgn'fied power'without a cnJ >v ill there wavnoil^,
nor did he Cup pole would be, while the piefent Minifies
were in power j it was their interest to continue it, and
therefore persuaded their S.fvereign'that the war mull be
carried on for the dignity of his crown, for the longer th%
war continued the greater was his importance. This he
did not altogether deny, but he was lure that every rnah
would to the utmost fu'pport the dignity of the.crown on
every occafionj but when his servants instilled into him
filfe notions, it became ill ranks of men to reprobate their
conduct. He fore fa w l fore was as little prolpcA nnw of
this motion fuccee.ling as any former one, and that peace
with America was veiy far oft’} indeed it niuft continue
as long as the prelent Ministry continued, for whenever
that desirable event happened they knew they tnuft foie
their places. War produced loans, loans produced dou
ceurs, and douceurs pioduced Parlidmcntmen, so that it
would be madness to imagine such a llcp would be taken
by them. ,
Asa pro f that th American war ought to he continu
ed,’ witneftes, refugees from the Congrels, had been lome
time since called to their bar, to prove that four-fifths of
the inhabitants were friends to the Mother Country, and
wift.ed for pence : curious witnesses they were, tor one of
them at least (Mr. Galloway) pretended to have a treache
rous memory. Being alkcd what opinion he gave In Con
grefis f iris aijfvVer was he could not tell. ‘f he received a
pension ? he hesitated ; as a!fo on question being put, how
long the pension was to lad •’ He tjiought it extraordinary
that the American war fmmid have such an efleft, for he
believed that not a man in that House had such treacherous
memories as not to remember their rectivieg penfrons ( rorri
Government, and how long they would last *, lie believed
also that those who had'been font for from Committees a
bove stairs, dragged from neighbouring coiTechoufec, nay
biought in fianneis into that Iloufe, on certain divisions,
had not such treacherous memories as not to remember on
•which fide they vuted, though they might now be afeamed
of having lo done, let the time be ever so distant.
Sir Harry HogSton defended the Ministry, but fa; !, it 1
there were such wretches, traitors to Bielr Coutitry,
as b id been deferibed, they ought to be brought to publick
just ice j it did not appear to him they had yet dune ary
thing to deserve it, and id they ha<i.he doubted Hot fomS
step would have been taken to bring them to condign pa•
nifeiueut. v. ■•*• t . ■’

they will be independent. He did rfst believe any measure
which-would entirely put a.ftop to the war in that qvurter
would he accepted, .u.n tefs our ‘other enemies concurred in
the propofr!. That the majority were friends to Govern-,
ment there was no doubt, but they were unarmed, and
could not refill those who were so, nor dared they afiert
their fentimentt for fear of being treated with cruelty. I
Mr. Burke laughed at the exprelhoa that a majority of
mnen could not refill a minority, efpeciolly when the troops
from hence in America were considerably more numerous
than ■ tlicfe commanded by Gen. Wafeington; yet they
couhJrnake no way again ft the enemy : ?. few ctmqciefti

Mr. Ellis would never give up his opinion that this war
was begun on juftlfinble gromids, and that it c- uld not now
be relinquifecJ with honour to the nation.

went over a great deal of the fame ground 33 those gentle

in, and feould give his support.
