TRIAL OF WARREN HAS
TINGS, ESQ.
< Wejiminjler-Hall.
The anxiety to fee the Marquis C<>rn
wallis, filled the Court yesterday at avery
early hour Their Lordships entered
the Hall at about hal, past one o'clock.
The usual Proclamations having been
made, Mr. Plomer, Counsel for Mr.
Hastings, said, that pursuant to the 111-
.timation which he had given the Court
on the la It day of the Trial, he fliould
beg leave to ask a few questions of the
Marquis Cornwallis. His Lordship
then came to the Table, and was sworn
by the Chancellor ; after which he gave
his evidence in his place, which was to
this effect: He said he had been in in
dia between fix and seven years : He
did not, on his firft arrival in India, visit
all the Provinces ; but in the next year
he did, and from all the observations he
had made, and the information he had
received, it was his opinion, that the
character of Mr. Hastings was in high
estimation among the natives: It was
competent to any peri'on who felt him
fclf aggrieved by the condii# of Mr.
Hastings, to have delivered in their
complaints; but, during the whole of
his being in India, he had not heard of
any personal complaint against Mr. Has
tings. His Lordship was asked, what
wasthS usual mode of proceeding against
refrac&ory Zemindars ? He said, it was
not easy to answer that queftiou, when
applied to a Count.y the Government
of which was completely despotic ; but
they were frequently fined, & sometimes
deprived of their Zemindaries. With
refpea to the rebellion of the Cheyt
Sing, ht said, the hostile intentions of
the Begums, at that time, was a mat
ter of general notoriety in India. Du- !
ring the time in which he had filled the
Office of Governor General, go appli
cation had been made on their behalf to
restore them any part of the property
taken from them. At the fame time,
he had no reason to believe that it was
true the Begums were reduced to great
pecuniary diftreft. His Lordship was
then asked, whether, at the time of his
leaving India, the good opinion which
had been entertained of Mr. Haftiny's
condua still existed ?_His Lordship
amwered in the affirmative. -
Mr. Burke then proceeded tocrofs-ex
amine his Lordship. He aflced, wheth
er the Noble Lord had attentively read
the Articles of Impeachment preferred
against Mr Hastings ? His Lordship
answered, he had. He w», then asked,
it there was any particular allegation fn
the Impeachment Which his Lordship
could itate not to be true from any in
formation which he had been able to ob
tain .—His Lordship answered, he was
not prepared to Itate any charge 0 f that
nature. He was then asked, whether
the greater part of his information re
lpe£ting Mr Haftiug's Government
was not derived from the English in In
dia ?—His Lordship said, it was derived
ultimately from the English, because he
was unaquainted with the language ; but
he had frequently conveifed, by the
means of with natives upon
this fubjett. Mt. Burke wished his
Lordfhipto state any native with whom
he held such converlation. His Lord
ship said, as these conversations were in
general of a cursory natiiie, he could
not call to mind the individuals "with
whom he held them.
Mr. Burke then read several extra&s
from Letters of his Lordship to the
Court of Directors, written in the year
1789, which stated the great decrease
of agriculture, and the uncultivated state
of the Company's Territories in gener
al.—Lord Cornwallis laid, he recolledted
having written such Letters.
After having been aflced a few ques
tions by Mr. Plomer by xvay of re-exami
nation, .Lords Stanhope, Walfingham,
and Hawke, each put a question.
Mr. Burke wished to aik a question,
which had anfen from the interrogato
ries of the Counfil si r the Detendent;
but to this the Court seemed to have
some objection, as it was irregular after
the Court had put qucflions
Mr. Burke, said, he would not urge
the point, but he 1 would be,obliged to
any Ncble Le d who would put the qiief
tion which he suggested.
' Some difference of opinion seeming
to arise upon the adrr.i.Tibility of the
queftipn, Lord Stanhope said, he
would save their Lordships the trouble
of adjourning to their 'own House of
Parliament, by putting the queffjon him
felf. He then addreflcd the following
interrogate) y to the Marquis Cornwallii:
" Whether he did not think that Mr.
Haftinga rendered an efll-Htial service to
his Country, by breaking the confedera
cy of the native powers ?"
Anfwcr by Cornwallis-r—
" Undoubtedly."
Here the examination of tlie Noble
Lord closed.
The Managers for the Commons
then called Mr. Xjaikins. A very long
argument etrfued upon the propriety of
this Gentleman's being admitted as a
witness at this ilage of the cause.
Mr. Burke, Mr. Fox, Mr. Grey
and M. A. Taylor, on the part of the
Commons, maintained their right of ex
amining him. They were replied to
by Mr. Plomer and Mr. Dallas.
About half pafl five their lordships
withdrew, to conliderhis admiffibility.

To JAMES MADISON, Es q . *
Sir,
SEPA RA"I ED from our country
by the illegal intervention of force'-
detained in an unwholfome climate, bv
a designed procrallination ofjuftice'; it
has been through the medium of 'the
public prints from the continent of the
United States that we have been favor
ed with your patriotic speech, and wile
resolutions, proposed to the House of
Representatives of the United States,
the third of January last, when thepleaf
mg grateful accents resounded through
our unfortnnate little circle, each con
genial heart seemed to bound with joy,
and -miiverfal cheerfulnefs overspread
each mind ; for a moment our lufFer
ings were forgotten ; native and artless
piotellions of attachment to our coun
try fell from every tongue; expressions
of the moll lively gratitude, andthank
fulnefs succeeded, for the man who was
so sensible of the dignity and indepen
dence ot his country, and who could
trace out the only true road to preserve
it.
Sentiments of honor, jufl ice, and pub
lic spirit, so manifeftly displayed, exact
our warmest thanks, and merit- our eter
nal gratitude.
Permit us, Sir, to think with you,
that by a course of felt-denial, to which
every good citizen would cheerfully sub
mit, we could make our enemies feel
the effects of our power, and to that
portion of annoyance and distress we
could produce by a complete interdic
tion on our exports, added to what we
can do by the spirit and activity ot' our
citizens, we are fully persuaded we pos
sess the means to exact refpeft from any
nation.
We want words to express our un
feigned thanks, foe the manly, juii, an< i
dignified manner in which' you vindi
cate our individual rights, when iiWaded
from any quarter, and recommending
public reparation where protection could
not be extended.
To some it might be cause ofdif
couragemcnt to be a member of any
government that cannot afford complete
protection to every citizen ; but we shall
bear our wrongs with paticnce and be
coming fortitude : No trials, no fuffer
ings we tan experience, (hall ever waver
our indivisible attachment to our coun
try ; and we hold our lives ready to fa
crifice when her cause rcquires it. We
are persuaded of her good wiil to proV
teft us, but at the fame tihie we know
her incompetency, at this moment, and
we sincerely lament the cause.
In conclusion, we beg leave to add
our mod sincere wifhe'e, that you may
enjoy health and serenity of mind ; that
you may experience that portion of hap
piness to which yolir virtue and patri
ot ism so juttly entitle you.
With a just sense of the exalted sta
tion which you so honorably fill, with
the greatest reverence for your superior
abilities, with sincere veneration for your
uniform attachment to'the welfare of
your country, and a grateful remem
brance of your labors in publie life, we
moll fervently pray for your prefervi
tion ; with these sentiment, we, Sir,
subscribe ourselves, ybur raoft dbediertt
humble servants, 3 .

" That tins affair had excited various
opinions and fcnfations in the array —
fomp thinking it a manoeuvre, others an
honest design—-some being for peace,
and others for war, the latter inclination
seemed to prevail, and was rather favour

sorrow at the arrival of the peace sup
plicants, the old gentleman being at mad
and sanguinary as ever; and very much.
