Castrcrmest, India Board, Match 2.3, 1812. I hate had the honour to receive the two letters which the De putati.n from the Court of Directors addressed to me, on the 36th Add 19th instant. It is undoubtedly reasonable, that the further term now pro- posed to be gruted to the Fast India Company of their privi leges of exclusise trade and the government of the British terrir torlal posscssions in India, should be for such a period, as may be sufficient, if unforeseen contingencies do not arise, to produce a considerable reduction of the debt, Loth in India acid at home. 'lke experience, however, of the last twenty years, has sufb saintly deniousirate :, that it is Impossible to calculate, with any degree of accuracy, on what may be the state of the Company 3 affairs in India at the expiry of another period of the same dura tion. it they are prosperous, the same term as was granted in 1793 will b,: suflictent for the purpose. described in your letter of tbe istli--but in untoward evens shall occur, and the Corn pug shall be again engaged in expensive wars, it will be desira bk that Pattie:nein bhould Lave the opportunity of reconsidering the subject, and of making suet new provisions as the case may appear to require. Under these circumstances, I do not think it with be sivisable to prep ose a lung .r term than what was granted by die Act of 1793, via. twenty years front the cavity of the ex isting period, wi:li three years presious notice.

These communications having been read, the Chairman (Mr. BOSANQUET), after some prefatory remarks, observed that the existence of the Last In- -.mod dia Company exhibited, perhaps, one of the most ex traordinary phenomena which has appeared in the world. That a company of private merchants, ris.l ing from small beginnings, should ultimately have raised themselves to such importance in the world as not only to give law to the greatest part of the penin sula of India, but to have completely conquered all the Dutch, French, and other European possessions in the large expanse of country which extends from , the Cape of Good Hope to the China Seas; and by these conquests deprived the enemy of this country of the resources they would have drawn from them, would, if the fact had not been before our eyes, have been considered to be almost impossible. But it would have appeared a still more extraordinarycir eumstance; if a Company of Merchants,— posseosing only a very limited capital, and enjoying no advan tage over their fellow-subjects, except an exclusive trade, and even that in latter times opened to the public in a certain degree,—should have performed these things out of their own private stock, and with out the smallest expense to that public of which they form a part. Nevertheless, this had been dope by the East India Company ; and when these circum. stances are fully weighed and considered, lie should thick it hardly possible, that the servants of the Com pany, both civil and military, through whom these things have been done, should fail of receiving that tribute of thanks which they have •so justly acquired at the hands of a just and generous public. When in ire year 1793, the Charter of the East India Corn. ?any was last renewed, the state of the Company's aicon was, as he conceived, as follows :—The Mi nister who there conducted the affairs of India, with out solicitation, thought it just, and proposed that the old Proprietors of East India Stock should re ceive an increase of dividend of 2 per cent. and a half per cent. was afterwards added to this dividend, not as an increase of interest out of the general funds of she Company, but payable out of a fund which the Minister admitted, that if they had chosen so to do, / ILY would have been entitled to divide at once orictig themselves. A sum of £500,000 per annnm its next set apart for the gradual l i qu i dation o f t h e it this, . t '°f the Company, anci if any surplus arose after w.ts, as far as ‘5;?0,000, to go to the public. •ouoit nev er was in the most distant manner in con tce r"PitiLon, that if war or other casualties prevented to receip t ~f this surplus, that the Company %sere in anyt way to be accountable to the public for it. He t h"glic he mi g h t fairly appea l to t h e reco ll ect i on o f !dose whom he had the hoi.our of addressing, what "" been the state of affairs in Europe, and in India, „ since that period. — an alinont uninterrupted state of • 'ld a con‘equent p ressure upon the fintaces of t _ he co,lntry, and o f Ole East India Company; it would 11.7 hero extraordinary indeed if some partial inconve- Poona. liad - not beqn occasioned to both; and if, while entiz kingclonis hive almost been erased from the list of independent nations, the Company or the public should not even have suffered temporary embarrass ment. It would only, perhaps,be at prescnt,wasting the time of the Court, were he to dwell upon the vari ous occurrences which have taken place in India since that period. The fall of Seringapatam —the re moval from the service of the Nizam a body of French troops, ready to join the sr.indard of the first invader of the country—the almost entire cl , •struction of Scin- dia—of the Raja of Berar, and Holkar's power—the successful conquests of Ce) lon—of the French Islands of Mauritius and Bourbon—of Java and the rolucca islands. But the Court would feel at once that it WAS. impossible for the East India Company to con e= or even to hold when conquered, these various possessions, without a very considerable disbursement, and at the same time to carry on a trade equal in outlay to the whole of their capital in stock and in bonds. In fact, a large debt was of necessity created in India, and as the money wat wanted in very cri tica• moments, it was raised upon very high rates of interest, at 6, at 10, some even as high as 12 per cent. he thought he might venture to state with confidence, that had the rate of interest been moderate, say only .5 per cent. the difference paid by the Company be tween that and the interest actually incurred, would have lett their Treasury with a very inconsiderable burden of debt upon it, and would have enabled the . Company to pour, even at this moment, its direct contribution into the Exchequer of the State ;—but during wars, and preparations for wars, it was impos sible for the Company to avoid this ruinous pressure, occasioned by this heavy weight of interest upon their affairs. As soon, however, as the moment of peace arrived, and the periods Aar which the money was raised expired, Lord Minto seized the circumstances that presented themselves with avidity ; and having first provided the treasuries with bullion to the amount of more than ten millions sterling, his Lord ship gave the holders of these loans the option of having their loans discharged in India, transferred successively to a loan at eight per cent. interest, and then to six per cent. ; or of having the loans, confor mably with their original terms, transferred to Eu rope. Whether, perhaps, these operations were not performed with a little too much celerity—whether, perhaps, one might not have wished some circittn• stances attending the alteration different from what they were, he apprehended it was not necessary to stop and enquire. But he thought there could be no doubt of the zeal of the undertaking, while the pecu niary advantages to the Company, from the altera tion, might be fairly stated not to fall short of from sto i 600,000 per annum. A sum of 14. millions of these loans had been sent, however, for payment to this country, from 1807 ; which payment the holders of the loans might call for if they pleased ; of which, 8 mil lions had been discharged ; and a sum of six millions, payable at various periods, expected to be drawn in the course of about two years, still remains undischarged. —.He would ask, whether it be too much for the Company to expect, that embarked as they have bum, and even in many cases contrary to their inclinatat:ons, in enterprizes so much beyond their strength, they should receive the assistance of Government to raise the sums, so transferred from the Indian to the Eu ropean Treasury, upon the most economical terms : in ordinary times the Company, he imagined, would not have wanted even this assistance. The Company ask no contributions whatever from the State ; they are ready to take the most efficacious Leans for the discharge of that interest which may become an an nual charge upon them, and appropriate any sum that may be required to the gradual extinction of the capital. Was this too much for them to ask Iron: the' State, when out of their Indian Treasury they have ab eady disbursed sums which render the public deb tors to them to a considerable amount, and can spew that the whole of a King's European Establishment has been charged to their account, with which the Crown has executed all its dispersed and extensive conquests ; and was this too much for the Company to ask at the hands of that public who has already dealt out to the Company such a scanty measure of justice upon the past demands which they have made against them ? He forbore to enter into a discussion of those conditions which have been held out to the Company as a consideration for this assistance, and for a renewal of their other exclusive privileges, which he imagined it is equally the interest of the public,as of the Company, not to put to an unnecessary hazard, by a change that might bring great loss and incon venience, but could hardly be expected to produce real advantage. He forbore to expatiate upon that extension of the trade with India, because this point must become the matter of full debate hereafter. He trusted only in the meanwhile, that upon that future enquiry, it would be found that the Directors had been true to their trust, and only given .way when opposition might be perceived to be of no avail.— Alter some farther observations, the Chairman con cluded by moving, " That the farther consideration of the business be adjou'ned till Thursday, the `2sl of April."—After some remark , from Mr. G. JouN. wrons and Mr. LOWNZ.E., the motion of the Chairman was carried unanimously, and the meeting broke up. PARLMMEIIT4RT PROGEEDMGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 25.

The several persons who had been ordered to attend on the preceding day for breach of privilege, having explained their con duct satisfactorily, were diszharged. PARISI{ REGISTER BILL. Mr. ROSE, in the Committee, stated the great importance of the regulation this Bill was meant to introduce to all the classes of the community; from the Peen, svho saw often their title to peerage disputed, from the want of such regular reg.sters, down to the common seaman. He had, himself, in his official capacity, sem several instances of the orphans and widows of our brave sailers, being deprived of the prize-money, or arrears of wages, by their cotateral relatives, from the want of registers for births and marriages. Mr. BROWN thought that the Right Hon. Gentleman was cnti , lel to the thanks of the House tur having introduced the subject. Mr. ROSE obeerved, that at a future period, it might be thought advisable to wend the measure to Ireland. He then moved, "'I hat the Report of t!te 13i1..lwuld be takeu into further consideration this day month, and in the tnean time, that the should be printed with the ameuchnents."—Ordered. SICILIAN SVDEIDY. Lord CASTLEREAGH proposed the grant of £400,000 to his Majesty, to enahie him so make good his engagemws with the King of Sicily. It . . required no argument to impress upon the Committee the advantages which must result from enabling his Sicilian Majesty to call together all the resources of that Island, and to put it in such a state, as to make it even probable, that its military resources might be turned offensively against the enemy. A calumny had gone out from the enemy, that we had taken measures to appropriate the Island to ourselves; but be should disdain to repel such, slander. All that Government did, was to call upon the King of the two Sicilics to act upon the principles of the alii.!aze between us; to take such steps as would ensure tile safety of our army ; and enable bosh to protect the Island for its lawful Sovereign. IVhatever doubt,: might exist formerly as to the expediency of grant ing this subsidy, they had ceased, trout the changes which lvd lately taken place in Sicily, and the brighter prospect which opened. He then moved I the grant. Sir J. NEWPORT said, it was necessary for the character of the country to declare openly, that no i force or persuasion had been used to make the King of Sicily abdicate his Throne. It was likewise tie cessary to say into whose hands this money was to be paid. • Lord CASTLEREAGH assured the Right Ho nourable Baronet, that if believed any means were used fur such a purpose, he was entirely misinformed. Besides, it was unfair to call the temporary substi tution of another authority, an abdication on the part of the King of Sicily. He• had, however, to declare that no fraud nor violence had been used to force the King to confer the Sovereign authority on his son—that it was his own act, and for reasons with which the British Government had no right to in. teriere.—The grant passed unanimously. Ala. CHINNERY. After the Grants were voted, Mr. BANKES asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer for some inforrna don with respect tt a late Treasury defao'..:er. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had been grossly imposed upon by the person alluded to. From the situation of the accounts of the Treasury previously to the last three years, it was quite impossible to discover the defalcation in Mr. Chinnery's accounts; but late y a system of audit had been introduced, under his own direction, which made it equally impossible for a defaulter to escape detec tion. Great neglect had been suffered in that depart ment for a very long time. Mr. ROSE was glad to explain his connection with the person in question. Mr. Chinnery was recom mended to hint by Lord Thurlow, and he in 17t. 3 took him under his protection. For the first four or five years he behaved himself extremely well ; but when he married he 'winched into a system of con siderable expence, by an extravagant est•tblishmerit, and giving of concerts; and when applied to for a reason for this ex:r.tvagance, he always replied that he had a property equal to his expences. He (Mr. Rose) never visited him fcr the I.tst 15 years, except to stand godfather for a child. He thought the conduct of Mr. Citinnery scandalous in the ex treme, and admitting (if no exculpation. After a few words from Mr. H. MARTIN, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. LONG, Mr. Witatcrox, &c. the other resolutions were agreed to.—Adjourned. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, MARCH 26.

Ministers received dispatches this morning from Mr. WELLESLEY, at Cadiz, dated the ‘2l:d ultimo. They speak in very high terms of the conduct of the new Spanish Government, but do not convey any intelli gence of importance. We have this morning received Papers from Lis- I bon to the ncl, and from Corunna to the 2d instant. Their Contents are of considerable importance. The Imperial Guards have now finally quitted Spain, and are by this time on their march towards the North of Europe. MARMONT is collecting what troops he can at Sal.manca, with a view to effect something for the relief of Badajoz, but there is an evident indecision in his movements perhaps he expects orders from Paris to abandon Pomp], and follow the Imperial Guards to the North. By the Lisbon papers it would seem that the Earl of WELLIxotoN had entrusted the attack of Badajoz to General HILL, to whom he had given 20,000 ad ditional troops. His Lordship's movemAlt with the ma'n body towards Elvas is intended to keep MAR• MOST in check, should any vigorous enterprize be at tempted in the vicinity of Badajoz. Some accounts state that Mn R.3IOiZT had collected 50,000 men in and about Salainanca, with a park of 100 guns, but this report is evilently exaggerated. The province of Gallicia has been put in a formida ble st.tte of defence by the exertions of the British Agent, Sir E. DOUGLAS, who had distributed .50,000 muskets within these few months. Yesterday a full Board of the Lords of the Trea sury was held at the Treasury, supposed to be on the subject of Chinnery's defslcation. The Loan of Six Millions, which was yesterday announced as being requisite for the East India Com pany, had the etr.Nt of depressing the funds ccnside rab:y at the close of the market. T:ic East India Company's direct trade to India, will, it is understood, be thrown open to ships not ex ceeding, •1.00 tons burden. That to China will con„ tinue tinder its present prohibition, on account of the peculiar character of that people.

The Court met at two o'clock on Satiirdoy, when the verdict was read, which unanimously found the three prisoners guilty of two several acts of robbery, and the prisoner, 111.1ntoslt, art and part guilty of the murder of Dugald Campbell. Their Lordships then delivered their opinions ; and, after a most solemn address from the Loan Jusricc CLERK, the prisoners were ordained to. be exe. cuted, on the 22d of April next, on a g:hbet, to be erected for that purpose, opposite the bump Office Close, High-strect ; the body of M'lntosh to be after wards delivered over to Drs. Monro, sen. and jun. for public dissection. The pi isoners heard their awful sentence with a surprising degree of lortitu de. The youth of the prisoners, M.lnmh and Suther land, as well as that of their accompl.:es, who were • brought forward to convict them, some of whom being no more than 15 years of age, occasioned a sttong rnsation in the Court. To these witr.eres the LORD insuce CLERK .addrer,cd a most human* admonition ; pointed out to them their close connec. tion with the prisoners at the bar, and the very tri- • fiing accident which prevented them from standing in their place, instead of being witnesses neainst them. He conjured them to profit by the sad and mein.. (holy scene now bef,re them, and trustel that ihey would henceforth refrain from that idle and disci. patcd life, which had brought their compani.nwinto their present.awful predicament.
