They went to the Golden Crofs, but all the information that could be gained there was, that the lovers remained there hut a Ihort time, and went away in a hackney coach. Hand bills were accordingly iffued, offering a reward to the coachman who d: ove the lovers. to give information where he let them down. Applica tion was made to Doctors' Canonry% to know if any application had been made for a licence for their mar riage, but none had been made. It being fulpefted that application would be made in the cnurfe of Sa turday morning, feveral perfons were fent to watch with the Bow.ftreet Officers ; and, about two o'clock, the gallant Officer applied for a licence, when the officers took him into cuflody, and conveyed him to the father, who prnpofed, if he would pay all ex pellees, he would not profecute him—to which the fond lover was relatantly obliged to agree, and to tell that the objeft of his affeStons was at lodgings in Fludyer•llrect, Wellminfler ; uh;re the fair clamfel was found, and returned y reluftantly with her father to Pot tfasooth.

Seurat titles of letter. and other papers were read, and the fubftance of them generally hated by the Chairman. They commented on the commercial importance of the iflvtd, and recommended that a naval arfenal fhould be erefted there, for the pur_polb of building and repairing (hips. The Right HOD. Chairman then fubmitted number of refolutiond for the appointment of dlffertnt officers under the new eftablithment with the falaries to be aiusezed to each office. The governor's falary he td be 31,000 dollars peiannum, and the officers each a rum proportionate to their rank. e places were Very nearly the fame in number as that already held there; notwitliflanding it might teem, at &ft fight, as if they *ere a fet of offices to be created by the vote of this Court. It would be moveloenefletal td the Company that each Gentleman (erring them fhould have a liberal falary and be excluded (Min all commercial ttanfattions, than thilt he mould hen (mailer falary and poffefs a tight to trade. The Court would undoubtedly fee the importance of the place in in jnft light, and the neeeffity of the elle blithment would immediately be obvious. From the great experience and extenfire knowledge of many Gentlemen prefent, he %As convinced that they would fee as clearly as be could tell them, the peculiar ad vantage of having a natal arfenal at this place. He bad barely given the outline of the plan whirl./ had been agreedon, according as he had been ineriehad to Rate ; and, if any gentleman had any obfervadan to make, he &mild be vet y happy to hear theft an the fubjeft. _ . . The DsPUTV CHAIRMAIM fupported the es:Nations in•a few words. He remarked upon the great im portance of having a fettlement in that iUand, maws a plan nearly fimilar to that already eftablifhed la the other parts of the Company's fettlements, ob. (crying that the Court of Direflors would always have an opportunity if inveltigating the condo& of the officers to be appointed by the prefent vote, old would be competent to remove them, if at any time they lhould be found "worthy of longer continuance in the Company's fervice. The plate was in itfelf fo highly valuable, that it was eel:meted that an am ple return would be made for aay expence the Com pany might now be at, in the costae of a very ilsort period. Mr. Kauai., obferved, that the more regular way would be to have the r'efolutions printed and circu lated among the Proprietors in the Bra inflanceeit.

Lord KlMratao kid, that the approbation of the Court in the Ertl inftance would only tend to ?hew the great confidence which they placed in thofe who had the direction of their affairs. At a fabfequent meeting they would have it in their power to affect to or difapprove of any part of the propofed eltablith ment. Mr. jointiToei inquired what fecnrity the Cons. pany would have that they °mold ever be reimburfed for the 'aft ezpence to which they were now gritng for this mere fpeck upon the face of the earth t - Who was there that forgot the promifes that were leads about Ceylon? He cautioned Gentlemen agate* be , lieving the promifes of Government. which was et all times ready to dcpi ive them of their patronage. and injure them by promife. which were tutu per formed. Mr. Santry thought that if the propolltioa bad come from Miniflers, they wet e the befi_otualified to judge of the propriety of the sseafure. He therefore fhould give it his fupport. Mr. Joemsrose explained. After Tome further converfation, it was reggefled that the whole of the correfpiindence and the various documents upon which this plan was founded &mild be printed for the perufal of the Proprietors. This was objeEled to by the Chairman and &Me Members of the Coat of DireAors, on the ground that the publication of clink papers wt, ild difslofe tome political reafoning which it would be improper to snake known at the veleta crifis. The firil day of diicuffing a fubjeft of this fort was univerfally cou fidered to be only a mere form of introducing it to the Members of the General Court, and the difeuP lion condantty took place on the fecond day.
