If, however, the Spanills Ambar.ulor has received no ;nitrations from his Court on this point, it is ob vinns that he cannot take upon himfelf to give auy pledge—nay more—if the Court of Spain itfelf has not received infra tions from St. Cloud, no pledge can be given that may not be forfeited.

In one of the French Papers, which recently came to hand, there is an article from Paris, complaining bitterly of the con clue of M.

There is alfo another article of importance in one 01 thefe Papers, relative to the happy dilCovcry of this remedy ; but which, while it wants the candotir o f the above, as clearly evinces the !hiking elliniatirm in which it is bald by all who !hoc had an ofFortu nity of deciding on its virtues. ff,ar INDIA nese. Yefterday a Quarterly Genet al Court am held at the EAR India Houle. After the cutiomary forms, the Chairman (the Hon. W: Exru IN ETON E) [teed. that fundry .papers tad been prefented to the Houle of Commons. sad moved in conformity to the Sth feiron olds/ grit chapter of the Bye Laws, that the fame be read p— which having been done, The CNA IR eras obferved, that the Court of Direc tors, on the :7th of June LtA, came to a refulutleo, recommending to the proprietors to permit Jamas HENRY CASSA M Efq. to rem n to Madras, with his rank in the Company's fervice ; and as he had been abfent from India above five years, the ail of the 33d of the King. cap. sa, fee. 70, required that the fame pats the General Court by ballot, which was fixed for Friday, the sth of Oftober. The CliallMAN then proceeded to inform the Court, that the Chairnlan and Deputy Chairman had written to Lord Calllereagh on the fubjeft of the Property Act, the tax impofed by which, fo far as the Company was concerned, was made payable from the dividends drawn by the Stockholders, and Not from the general fund ' of the Company. He yea forty to inform the Court, that the exertions of the Chairman and Deputy Chairman to have this irks wallet redreffed had been unavailing. The letter of the Chairman and Deputy Chairman to Lord Cat dereagh was then read. In it they enumerate the many advantages which the revenue of the country and the people in general derive from the capital. re• venue and refources of the Eall India Company I— what facrifices the Company have on all tweak= made, when any great exertion teemed becalled for; particularly. with what alacrity they hid aepped for. ward in railing three regiments of Volunteers, andin fupplying a proportionate quantity of (hipping for the defence of the country, at their own expense, at the prefent moment, when the country was threatened with invalion. By an aft paired in the year 1795. it had been provided, that the Dividends drawn from the Stock of the Company thoitld never at any af ter period exceed ten and a half per cent. but that they might be reduced below that rate, at the difcre. tinn of the Direaors. By the Aa of the 43d of the King, however, this dividend was in fair seduced, and of more the value of the capital diminifbed, for on comparing it with the flock of the Bank, it would be found that India capital bad fuffered a de terioration. Lord Caßleteagh, in anfwer, Rated, that after giving the fubjea every attention, and with ing if praCticable to remove the grievance, be had confulted with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, after weighing the matter, could not fee that any well-founded cattle of complaint esitted. Had the prefent mt, like the former, been a tax on in come. the holders of flock Purely could not have raid that their dividends, which formed part of their in come, ought to be taxed, but that the burden ought to fall on the general fund of the Company. No al teration, therefore, could take place, but under the fanOion of Parliament, and his Lordfhip hoped the Company would not think this a proper period for applying for fuch interference. The Cmentuan therefore Rated. that he prefumed from what had paired, that all expeetation of obtaining tedrefs olds grievance mutt be dropped for the prefent. The CaattM as then Paid, that it was with concern he had to lay before the Proprietors the advice' re ceived over land, relative to the war with Holkar ; he had now doubt, however, but it would be fpeethly terminated. He was happy to hare it next in hit power to call the attention of the Court to a bufinefs which muff be equally gratifying to every one of them, as it had proved anterefting to every lover of his country. — He meant the gallant atchievement performed by the China fleet, under the command of Captain Dance. An exploit unprecedented even in the naval annals of this country, remarkable as they were for feats of valour. A merchant (hip had dared to meet the brnadfide of, and had aCtually repotted a flip of the line, of So guns ; and a fleet of merchantmen had en countered and driven to flight a fleet of men of war, fent out on purpose to capture them. As perfons principally interefted in the tranfadlion, that Court had to congratulate themfelves on the prefervation of a fleet, the molt valuable they had ever had at feat as merchants, and as Englithmen, they faw what their own merchant (hips could do—how little the enemy mild do againft them. The different refolutions of the Court of Direaors, appointing rewards for their bravery, to be conferred on Captain Dance, Captain Timmins, and the other officers, non commiffioned officers, and tailors of the China fleet, who engaged and but off Admiral Li nois, were then tend. which alto went to determine, that, as additional marks of favour from the Com pany, the molt advantageous (hip for China Ihould, fur the next year, be offered to Capt. Dance ; and that in the dilirihution of !hips, Captain Timmins thonld not be overlooked. The CHAIRMAU, however, Rated that he was forty to inform the Court, that the good wifhes of the Di rators towards Capt. Dance would, in this refr be unavailing. Captain Dance was in loch a ft.s.e of health as made it impoflible fur him to accept of the offer made him of a (hip for next feafon, or, in deed, ever again to go to tea. Oo inquiring too into the fortune of Captain Dance, the Direaors had found it to be filch as would nut enable him to retire in fo comfortable a fituation as the Company would with any perfon to enjoy. who had fo long and fo meritorioufly ferved them. It had therefore been propofed to fettle an annuity of sool. per annum on Captain Dance. in confideration of his long and faithful ferrite'. This, however, mull lie over to another General Meeting. Mr. Roca wished to be informed if the Direaors were certain that they had a4ted legally in thus dd . - poring of so,oool. or Go,OOOL belonging to the Com pany? lie at the fame time highly approved of the mode in which it had been apprlniated. I ' he CHAllthl•11 affured the G.ntleman that the Court of Direaors were r erfenly convinced of the le gality of their proceeding.. Sir FRA hCla B•RIMG sidled that tome additional mat k of the' raw, ur of the Company had been be. fl owed on Capt. Tirnmin., who commanded the Royal George, and had by his own intrepidity and bravery, j to mat of his crew, beat off the French Adeni „;., (kip, .1 d_ guns. It was not his intention then tooaks am m,rion en the Mica, bat merely to fug g;it it to .ontisleratioo. The Court then adjetuned.
