THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST-INDIA STOCK. ,0113 AND GENTLEMEN, E success which I have met with, since I first declared my Intention of becoming a Candidate for the East- Irdi t Direction upon the next vacancy, is far greater than 1 could bar.) presumed to expect ; and, though I have never for a moment t`tot),;ht of relinqinshiog or of deferring my application for your 'p port, I am induced, not only by my own anxiety to prevent the possibility of misapprehension, but also by the advice of many lesoectable Friends, to declare, in the:Meat public and unequi v. cal manner, that I shall certainly offer myself to your notice, and proceed to the ballot, upon the first vacancy vo latch may occur. It will not, I trust, be suspected by those who know me, that apply for the honourable situation of an East-India Director, without meaning to discharge the duties of that situation. The truth is, that I have, frequently, and in a way that was very flat tering to me, been encouraged to become a Candidate for the Direction—but I declined doing so, whilst a considerable portion of my time must have been otherwise employed. If, however, by your • favour, I sbouldbe allowed, upon the next vacancy, to bear a pat In the managemait of your peculiarly important con cents, I am new at liberty to devote my Time and Attention to Allan. I am, Ladies and Gettlemen, With much 'respect, Your moat obedieut and very humble Servant, RICHARD TWINING.

By these we are sorry to learn that the army there is still very unhealthy ; and we understand since, by our port letters, that about 2000 sick have just been landed in addition to the great number which had previously been sent over. Among those last arrived we are sorry to hear that there are many Officers, particularly Medical Offi cers, who suffer both from the climate and the ex tremely harassing nature of their duty. We have seen other letters from Wdlcheren of the 31st of October, all of which say that the sickness and mortality among the troops are not in the least abated, We are sorry to hear, that since his arrival in Wal. cheren, his Excellency General DoN has been ill. General Mom. RIEF ) of the 90th regiment, is second in command. We learn that in the report which the Commis sioners, sent by Government to Walcheren, to inquire into the state of health of the army, and which consisted of Drs. BLASE and LEMPRIERE, they re commended to Ministers the immediate evacuation of the Island, unless Ministers were prepared to send out a fresh a-my immediately. Hostilities have commenced in Zealand. The French have erected batteries in North Beveland, projecting as far out as possible into the sea : on Tuesday evening last commenced a heavy fire upon our gun-boats. Our tars were not slow in returning the compliment : They opened a tremendous fire on the enemy, dis lodged them from the batteries, landed from the gun.. boats and other vessels, and spiked the enemy's guns. We are sorry, however, to be obliged to add, that our loss in this contest was considerable. The arrangements respecting the new Ministry are now completed. Feeling it to be our duty, as it has ever been our principle, to support the best interests of our country, we feel no hesitation in stating to our Readers, that whoever may be in power we shall assist and support, so long as they consult those interests. We have seen with unfeigned regret that in a crisis of the most tremendous interest party divisions have agitated the empire. With these we have nothing to do. We look only to measures. If our information be correct, and we s?eak upon something like authority, it is the design of those who are now intrusted with the conduct of our affairs, to collect around them the real talents, the genius, and the patriotism of our country. If this be so, as we hope it is, this country will be saved. Amid the perishing fragments of civilised Eur Ope, we are the only people who have possessed the forti tude and the advantages to know, and to maintain our independence. By the imbecility of rulers—by the corruption of their advisers—and, by the general venality of the people, nations heretofore renowned in story, have fallen ; and we too should fall, if it were not that there yet exist in this country principle. of common seine, strong ideas of independence, and that ancient national antipathy which has made an Englishman's mind revolt against the idea of becom ing a subject .f France. By such principles, and by such principles alone, we have been sustained. Whether the new Clovernf ment will carry into execution .the thoughts and•the wishes of Englishmen, a short time will disclose. It is the temper and necessity of the times to ask for measures and not for men. We have a country en deared to us by every sacred sanction that can render Government itself respectable among mankind ; and when we behold every other Government beaten to the ground—our own only surviving, we have a h t to hope that the public virtue of those entrusted with the government of affairs will be correspondent with 11 a wishes of the people. Uur principle is, that there should be a common,. of cannon, and to proclaim it amidst the sound of , consent between the governors and the governed ; trumpets.

Since the Ist instant, the army has been put on peace establishment, and many troops pass to their usual fixed quarters. To-day a courier has arrived from Copenhagen, and brings the intelligence that the Danish Government is prepared to open negoci ations for peace ; the treaty with Denmark will, ac cordingly, as we learn, be soon commenced at Jonko ping ; on our part, the ci-devantAmb.tssador in Lon don, the Privy Counsellor Adlerberg ; and on the part of Denmark, the ci-devant Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, Privy Counsellor Rosencrantz, are ap pointed. His Majesty has dismissed 36 Officers oldie Finland Army. Orders have been received for the Ist battalion of the 9th infantry of the line, at present in Canterbury, to be completed to 800 strong, and to hold itself in readiness for immediate embarkation ; the destination of this force, it is confidently asserted, is Portugal, whither it is also said six regiments of cavalry are to be likewise sent. Among the regiments mentioned for this service are the 2d (Queen's) Dragoon Guards, 3d ( K. 0.) Dragoons, and the 9th Light Dragoons; two troops of Horse Artillery and a troop of the Gun Drivers Corps are also to accompany them. Tl:e ne cessity of this measure admits of no hesitation, -AS if as attempt is to be spade to defend that part of the Peninsula, it is obvious that Lord WV.LLINPTON'S army must be immediately reinforced. The West Kent Militia moved last week from Sun- derland to Tynemouth Barracks ; as hive the 12th Light Dragoons from Sandwich and its vicinity, to Folkestone, Hythe, and Romney, We are happy to hear that the Jubilee was cele, brated in the Island of Walcheren with as much les, tiviiy as in any part of the British dominions • and that, slight as the ties are which att ac h s r me o f the inhabitants of that Island to Britain, in no quarter is the character of our Sovereign more revered. In the morning of the Jubilee, all the ships of the squadron under Admiral% ()Tway, off Flushing, all those under Commodore 0 WEN off Campvere, the numerous gun-boats which surround the Island, and all the Dutch schuyts and vessels in the canals at Flushing, Middleburg, and Campvere, appeared de corated with flags. At eleven' o'clock the fore noon, General Dox, with all the General Officers, and many of the principal inhabitants, paid their re• spects to Sir EYRE COOTE, at the Palace. In every quarter of the Island the troops fired three vollies at noon ; and at one o'clock all the ships fired a Royal salute. After all the General Officers, the Public Functionaries, and principal Inhabitants had paid their respects to Sir EYRE CoorE, they attended him in procession to the great Church, where detachments of the eight regiments in Middleburg, with their co lours, went also. The Rev. Mr. HEYWOOD preached a most excellent and appropriate sermon. At five o'clock, Sir EYRE COOTE entertained a most numerous party to dinner at Middleburg: the Earl of DAI.,• BOUM and General HAY did the same at Flushing, as did Brigadier-General the Baron de , ROTTENNUiton; while Admiral OTWav gave a sumptuous entertain ment on board the CESAR. In the evening there was a grand display of fire works at Middleburg. His MAJESTY, in addition to the £2OOO given for .the liberation of prisoners confined for small debts, has given £lOOO for the relief of those similarly cir cunnt axed in Scotland, and the s.me sum for those in the prisons of Ireland. Jo BI LEE AT, TOTTEN HAM PA RK. —The Earl of Ailesbury, ever one of the most attachod .of his Ma jesty's subjects, displayed the purest feelings of ge nuine loyalty by his liberal donations to his Majesty's least opulent subjects through his Lordship's exten sive manors. Upwards of 5300 persons were sharers of his munificence. The numerous peasantry in-hi; more immediate neighbourhood, were feasted on the lawn (no room being large enough to contain them), with a plentiful supply of roast beef, plum.pud. ding and strong bet"-, and the Marlborough troop of Wiltshire Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Lcrd Bruce, fired a fea-dr-joie on the occasion, and were afterwards regaled with a sumptuous dinner, and en joyed themselves with their Noble Commander to a late hour, w:th the warmest effusions of sincere loy alty to our beloved King. At Marlborough, besides the usual demonstrations of joy by bell ringing, tiring, display of colours, Btc. liberal donations to the pour, in proportion to their families, were distributed. The Mayor and Corpora tion, the Marlborough troop of cavalry, and four companies of Loyal Volunteers, placed under corn. mind of Colonel Lord Bruce, with all the principal inhabitants, walked in precession to church ; after which the several corps of military fired a feu-de-joie in honour of the day, which was concluded in the greatest harmony and loyalty, by public dinners at the Town-hall and principal Inns, and the festivities were continued the following evening by a ball at the Town-hall. At Bedwin, Burbage, Collingbourne, Preshute, Easton, Milton, Mildenhall, and other neighbouring places, the opulent inhabitants distinguished them selves equally for their loyalty and generosity, by ample voluntary gifts, dinners, &c. to their poor neighbours. On the day of the Jubilee a splendid entertainment was given by Lieutenant-Governor MAIN, at Lan guard Fort, to the Officers of the Ist Surrey Militia, and the neighbouring Nobility and Gentry. The band played during dinner—the loyal songs of “ GOD save thc. King," and The Trumpet sounds to Arms," were delightfully sung by Duvall (one of the band). On ascending the staircase at the end of the gallery was displayed a transparency representing the figure of Fame blowing a trumPat,. the O r de r of the Garter, and th e Colin encircled with the Rosef the Thistle, and the Shamrock, executed in a mas terly style by Miss Kent, and her accomplished nieces, t i he Governor's daughters. The rooms were tastefully and fancifully decorated with .Iyrenths of laurel; oak and tamaresque hung in festoons;. interspersed with variegated lamps. Dancing commenced at 9 o'clock. The company Were highly gratified with the hospita lity of the GOvernor, and the untemitted attention of their amiable hostess. Good humour was the order of the 44y.. The sportive dance was kept up with great. spirit till a late hour on Thursday morning, when . the company sepaiated„ perfectly satisfied with -the happy day they had spent in commemoration of our most gracious Sovereign. On the 25th ult. John Henderson, a Crown pri soner under execution for 4E900, was liberated. from York Castle.—The Keeper received a'rreasury War :nt for the purpose. • - 4!"'"'"-Tr" P ri:ll.

The Baron de Marbuenf, Officer of Ordnance in the service of his Majesty. the Eniperor Nipoleon, who left Schoenbrunn at eleven at night, on the Bth, and arrived here yestcriay, at three in the afternoon, has brought a letter from his Sovereign to our Mo narch. j-!e passed through Bohemia. Wh%m'Count Von Schulenburg, who arrived here on the 11th inst, in the evening, left Vienna on the 6th, the Emperor Napoleon had already ratified the Treaty . of Peace, which was immediately transmitted to the Emperor Film's. The contents of the Treaty of Peace are not yet officially published. A ccording to private informa tion, however, it includes the following articles : " ; 11 , c ce4sion of Gallicia. " The cession of Fiume Trieste, and Istria, which are to be :c ine ,l to the kirgclom of Italy."

Several regiments of the grand army are already on their march ba„!lc to France. The late Nustrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count Vun Stadion, has arrived at Prague, AMSTERDAM, OCTOBER 31. We have received letters and newspapers from Paris of the 25th. They contain nothing of import ance, except that, according to a letter from Munich of the 21st, his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon left Schoenbrunn on the 16th, at noon, and. arrived at Pa'caii on the 18th, where he inspected Forts Napoleon and Maximilian, and the redoubts of Than, Abers berg, Eckmuld, Wagram, Rivoli, Alexander, and Engenl. On the '2oth. in the morning, his Majesty arrived at the Castle of Nymphenburg, near Munich. In the eveni' g he went, with their Majesties the King and Queen of Bavaria, to the Theatre. The Castle, the fine Avenue leadi•tg from Nymphenburg to Mu nich, and the whole nt the city, were illuminated.— On the '2oth, his Majesty accompanied the King of Bavaria on a hunting party, halt a league from Munich. _ Letters from Vienna of the I.sth mention, that the articles of the trc tv of peace had not then transpired ; but that fortn..d some conjectures re specting their purport, frem the fact, that in the, preceding week, the Itegisttrs of the Austro-Bohe; mile. Chancery were sealed up by the French Com missioners,. and together with several documents found among them relative to Tyrol, Upper Austria, Saltzburgh, Carinthia, Goritz, and Trieste, were packed up and sent off. This morning the following notice was placarded : —" According to a notification from the French Im perial Commandant of this city to the Government of Lower Austria, the fortifications of Vienna will this day (the 13th of October) be blown up, by command of his Maje_sty the Emperor of the French. The Government of Lower Austria therefore hastens to give the public immediate notice of this circum stance."---" In consequence of this command," add the letters alluded to, " every precaution has been used far the security of the public, both by prevent ing the streets from being crowded by the inhabitants, and by leaving notices at the houses situated near the bastions. The time fixed Inr the explosion is between the hours of thrte and four. The works that are to be demolished are those which have been erected at the Burg, Karthuer, and Schotten gates. and which' we have, with heavy hearts, seen carried on for so long a period. But as it is only the out-works, and not the walls of the city, that arc to be destroyed, and as the quantity of powder has been carefully cal culated, so as rmrely to demolish them without blow ing the materials to any distance, the shock of the explosion will make very little impression on the city. Yesterday evt ning the horse guards l and this morn ing the last of the foot guards, marched out. The entrenched camp at Spitz will, it is said, be demo lished this afternoon."

NEW THEATRE, COVENT-041ME4V, The row was last night as uproarious as ever, and the two last Acts of A Cure for the Heart Ache were completely inaudible. Oscar and Malvica followed, which was gall° el through with unexampled rapl dity, being finished before ten o'clock. The music and singing were, as usual, completely overwhelmed b-1 the more sonorous performances before the curtain. — The noise was last night varied, by the introductica of a watchman's rattle and a horn, which, in con. junction with cat-calls, whistles, and the usual yea accompaniments, made up a most harmonious concert . A dog was held up several times in front of the pit, and a loud barking was heard, but the latter seemci to be rather a two-legged imitation, though well exe cuted, than the natural tones of the dog. An attempt was made to take the person who sprung the rattle into custody, but it completely failed, and the triumph was announced by the loud cheering of the Pit. Seve ral-mock fights took place in the pit, and the amuse• ment of the preceding evening was again resoged to, that of capering over the benches, frcm tae back a tie pit to the front. We sincerely hope that this scene of confdslcn is drawing to an end. Indeed it is confidently r: ported that Mr. MASH, Chief Clerk in the Office or c.e Lola Chamberlain, has officially announced to M. KENisi.s that there - mnst be an end put to the scene of riot an 4 tumult in the theatre, either by the Maniic;,•s yeldf ing to the universal feeling of the public, or by sus' pending the patent. Mr. T(EmßLis requested a f,v days time to communicate with Mr. Hams, lore's at Bath, hut who is so much recovered as to be cn iiit return to town. Mr. MASH said that his i4struct"" were peremptory, but on the earnest supplic,:..cr. of Mr. KEMBLE to give time for a communic.,sien with his partner, he agreed to report the application to Lord DARTI4ourn. The private letters by the Lisbon rnal of ye.. tcr,.a are to the 24th ult. From these it al.pears that ~ e British atmy which was intended to be removed to sanatarum, still remains at Ba.lajos. We are c cerned to state that, notwithstanding the favour., accounts that have been received of the imp 5 4 health of the army, it has suffered most severely from disease. The effective force has been reduced to about 11 1 000 men. 'tl .~ _ N...
