Charms would be an English, not an Anterion charter. That subject oust be attended to by ?2.. sisters in the event of the Americans returning to th e ir senses, and to peace. Orders is Coun c il h a d b een issued on a former occasion, which induced the acts of France, and led to our indiscriminate seizure of American property. Tortured thus, America was disposed to risk war, rather than to s ahmit : but she sent over Mr. Jay, and a treaty was American negociate su fferer s. . negotiated and compr ie sations a m to ad s e ay by no u th s in to a the late Orders in Council, which, once issued, should have been maintained with more firmness. I, what he . alluded to. the wily Americans got the advantage of us in the treaty, by the 13th article of which they bad leave to go to the ports of India. The hydra of the French Revolution had made such progress as induces a wish to keep on terms with Ame rica; and then Mr. Dundas tame forward, saying, we must not be too strict, but put a liberal construc tion on the articles of the treaty. Other States claim mg.tbe same privileges, could not, on principle, be denied. Whenever the. Company failed in com merce (either Irons wan of capital or management) the next pawns to be emi*r *et+ . the merchants on the Royal Exchange, Ink the Anricans or any other fereign nation. As to the course of trade. it mi g ht be seen, that, notwithstanding the Nonimpor tation Mt, such was the force of commerce, that we sent more to the Western World than we had done before; and that circumstance rendered it imperative o n Ministers to adopt every mode of doing without America. Nothing Ailed men's minds with more sorrow, from which they had not yet recovered, than the successes of America by sea; for a year and as half ago it was foreseen that war was almost inevi table, and that it was urged on by the privateer fac tion in that country. 'their declaration of war was scarcely dry, when the letters of marque were issued. We should remember the history of Carthage, and the circumstances. under which Rome began war with her. Rome was so defective in maritime affairs, that a wrecked Carthaginian ship served as a model for their first vessel of war ; —but their ambition to subdue Carthage succeeded. Yet was there no pro portion in the comparison of naval means, between Rome and Carthage, when compared with those America possesses against Great Britain. America certainly carried bullion to India; but our merchants could procure that. if they wanted it. The prodigious increase of indigo and cotton, shewed the expansion of commerce ; but sv,..s not that effected under the Company's Government, and was not such an esta blishment deserving of protection against its oppo nents? But, then, it was called a losing trade. Why, it would be found, that the Company had in volun tary contributions, and other acts of patriotism, ex pended, in a number of years, not less than five mil lions !—(Hear.)—ln fact, on an average, the trade bad made a profit of £lOO,OOO a year ; in some years rising high, up _even to £700.000 ; in others falling. It was not in the nature of things a very profitable trade. But suppose it a losing one—was there no'object answered then ? Was it not the great -Jeans of keeping up the remittances from India, and reserving the well-regulated monopoly ? As to that might be an argument against retaining , and even Madras ; but they were retained, lose, in fact, they were the out-works of Bengal, the whole Indian Empire.—(Hear.)—At one the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Hume) raised uportunities of commerce to an extraordinary and at another he sunk them. What, said you apprehend from stray vagabonds from ships on a sea coast of three thousand miles, all our severe precautions and penalties ?

The Directors only quoted/ Melville, who said, the Constitution would net the doing away of the Charter. Mr. Hume he had no intention to take away the territory the Company, but his amendment was very at in its tenour from his speech. Compensation to be talked of after the business should have done. He believed that must take place ; for man would dare to take away their just rights, lout proposing a compensation :—or, the Three , were to establish certain provisions with Ministers, the event of the King's Government taking on it ' the general Government of India.

Nothing was more farcical, than pose the China trade would remain entire, if we 'ed . adventurers to the Archipel ago o f the Isles : the trade could not be safe with com- Is between those islands, and the outports. he Directors were justly supported by the Proprie rs, and fortified by the opinions of the most eminent Itesmen, and by these very Ministers, who, in an - to she 6th proposition of the Directors, a had ad. itted the dangers of the China trade, in the case of islands being opened- This discussion might be st the last act of the Company's political exis ze f ( Year, hear.)

Nous said, that situated as he was it was impossible for him to give a satisfactory answer. The Directors had appealed from Ministers to that Court. The last communication with Ministers was meant for the Court of Proprietors, who must decide. This did not preclude Ministers, as the Directors were at all times ready to obey theii summons, and to agree to every thing that was consistent with the Com panr's interests, and the safety of the country— (Near.)

SATURDAY, JANUARY ' 18 ~ M IE.,, The Gottenbuigh Mail, which arrived yesterday, brought a variety of reports of a most promising nature—none of them, however, .although highly pro• bable, are as yet officially confirmed. Lord CATH. CART% dispatches, a Bulletin taken from which, is subjoined, contains, as westated yesterday in a Second Edition, no military intelligence ; but Count Litwin:, the Russian Ambassador, has been furnished with details from the army of a week later in date. These aie reported to state, that the Emperor ALEXANDER had entered Konigsberg, where he was received with loud acclamations. We cannot give credit to the report, that MURAT is collecting some scattered divisions to give battle on the Banks of the Vistula, without cavalry or artil. lery. He is a better soldier. The next report from the Lieutenant-General of the a Grand Army" will be dated from Berlin or Dresden. It is highly ridi culous to suppose that the siege of Dantzick will re tard the career of the victorious Russian army a single hour ; besides, the garrison of this place is of a most deplorable description. ,It is entirely com posed of Calabrese and Italians, unable to stand the rigours of a Northern winter. None of the Russian 'victories, glorious and deci sive as they have been, are calculated to give so much delight to the real friends of mankind as the burn of popular feeling which they have excited throughout the North of Europe. Every where the populace are loud in their execration of French ty ranny and oppression ; and every where the glorious flame of liberty and independence is ready to burst forth.. The conduct of the inhabitants of Berlin, at the Theatre, is a strong manifestAion of the spit it by which ;he great mass of population under BONA. PARTIeS dominion will be actuated, the instant hib reverses are made known to them. " Son Empire est cletrult, si l'homme est reconnu!" The most interesting advices are those from Wilna. Sir Roßaar WILSON states, that after the interment of his lamented friend, Lord TYRCONNEL, he intends proceeding immediately to Grodno, and thence, in all probability, to Warsaw. Sir ROBERT continued to enjoy very good health, notwithstanding the inten sity of the cold, and the pestilential air of Wilna ; and he had obtained, as a favour from the EMPEROR, the release of Monsieur Descsmerres, the celebrated French physician. Among others who had lately joined the Russian army,..ivere Colonel O'DoNNELL, brother of the Regent, and fourteen other Spanish Officers ; they were received and treated by the EM PEROR with great distinction. The Emperor ALEXANDER has conferred additional marks of distinction upon all his Generals, with the exception of TCHiCHAGOFF. . PLATOPF (like KUTU sorF) has been made a Prince of the Empire ; and WirrostlsTtuf, who had no fortune but his sword, has been presented with an estate. The General, whose name has been omitted in the list of promo tions, is accused, unjustly we hope, of having, through, negligence, permitted BONAPARTE to make his escape. It is said, that after the affair of Krasnoi, TCHICHR GOFF might have secured the Emperor's person with little difficulty. In our last page, abundance of interesting extracts from the Gottenbdrgh Papers will be found. The following is the Bulletin issued by Government yesterday, of Lord CATHCART'S dispatches, which we repeat for the benefit of such Readers as did not receive our Second Edition : BULLETIN. Dispatches have been received from Lord CATH CART, dated at St. Petersburgh, on the 2d instant.— They contain no details of military operations subse quent to those already before the public. Lord CATHCARVS dispatches inclose a Proclamation issued at Wilna by Marshal KUTUSO?F, Prince of Smolensko, in which he calls upon the German States, but more particularly upon the King of PRUSSIA, to unite with the Emperor ALEXANDER in restoring the Balance of Europe, and reviving the former splendour of the Prussian States;—objects which his Imperial Majesty most earnestly desires, and which his Armies are now on foot to accomplish." • • • FALMOUTH, JANUARY so.
