TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK. LADIES AND OENTLEMEN, FINDING, on my return to Town this morning, that a sudden and unexpected Vacancy i llas taken place in the. East India Direction, by the resignation of Sir DAVID Seim, Dart. I beg leave respectfully to announce to you, that 1 it is not my intention to proceed to the Mot upon the present occasion. I shall, however, avail myself of this opportunity of ming my personal respects to the individual Proprietors ; and from the many kind and zealous assurances of support which I have received from a numerous list of Friends, I venture to hope, that at a future period I may lo•k forward with sense de gree of confidence to the attainment of the object of my ambi tion.—l have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient and devoted Servant, Portland-place, August 4, 1 NO. WM. CURTIS, jun. LOAN OF MONEY. THE object of this Advertisement is to obtain confidence, not to abuse it. Though the Advertisex js sensible of the prejudice excited by the occasional misconduct of unprincipled individuals, he trusts he has some claim to sincerity, when he assures those who may honour hint with their cotnmu litigations, that they will experience treatment the most candid, liberal, and explicit ; ascertaining at once what will be effected, whether on Freehold, Copyhold, Leasehold, or other security. Address, post paid, to I'. M. care of Mr. Yonge, 10, Essex street, Strand. ' Reversions are place the Arabs had quitted, until, by an increase to my'numbers, I should travels. in my power to more coMpletely encircle-the whole of the town. . ' " Means were afforded me to carry this purpose into effect, .by the arrival, in the course of the day, of the detachment under the command of Captain, Backhouse, of his Majesty's 47th Regiment, comb, posed of the flank companies of that corps and of the, first 3d Regiment of Native Infantry, which you were - , pleased :o send for, on your knowledge of the gre at labour and fatigue borne by my small detachment, , in getting the guns and stores from the distant land ing-place, and which necessarily caused the greatesu number of my men to be almost constantly detached and employed on fatiguing duties. The next morn ing . the Riflemen, supported by the pickets, were. again called into play, and soon established their position within three or four hundred yards of the town, which, with the base of the hill, was so corn-, pletely surrounded as to render the escape of any of the garrison nose almost impossible. This advantage, however, was not gained without a severe loss, the rifle company and the regiment at large having been deprived, by the death of Ensign Mathieson, of the services of a most gallant, intelligent, and zealous Officer. Two twenty-four pounders and the two twelves, the landing of which had been retarded by the difficulty of communication with the fleet, from which we derived all our supplies, having been no* brought on shore, we broke ground in the evening, and, notwithstanding the unfavourableness of the soil, from its rocky nature, had them ready to play next morning at daybreak ; the former to batter in breach the hill fort on the north-east side, and the latter to destroy the defences of the Sheikh's 'souse on the westward. " Aware, however, that the families of the enemy were all still in the town, and humanity dictating that some efforts should be made to save the inno cent from the fare that awaited the guilty, an oppor tunity was afforded for that purpose, by an offer to the garrison of security to their women and children, should they be sent out within the hour; but the in fatuated Chief, either from an idea that his fort on the hill was not to be reached by our shot, or with the vain hope to, gain time by procrastination, re turning no answer to our communication, while be detained our messenger, we opened our fire at half past eight in the morning, and such was the preci sion of the. practice, that, by half-past ten, perceiving the breach would be soon practicable, I was in the act of issuing the necessary orders for the assault, when a white flag was displayed, and the enemy, after some little delay in assembling from the differ• egri ent quarters of the place, marched out without th • arms, with Hussein Bin Aly at their head, to the number of 398 ; and, at half-past one, P.M. .the Bri tish flags were hoisted on the hill fort, and at the Sheikh's house. The women and children, to the number of 400, were, at the same time, collected, together in a place of security, and I am happy to add, without a single instance of either injury or insult to their persons or feelings having occurred. —The prisoners have been since sent on board the fleet, and I am now dismantling the fort and the Sheikh's house. " The service has been short but arduous. The enemy defended themselves with an obstinacy and ability worthy of a better cause. " The exertions of every person in this detachment passed under your view and that of Captain Collier during your occasional visits to the scene of opera tions. You are therefore fully able to appreciate the zeal by which Captain Walpole, of his Majesty's brig Curlew, who commanded the sailors, on shore, must have been actuated, and the ability with which that zeal was applied, to have enabled him to over come the difficulties attending the landing of the supplies and stores, particularly the guns, which, after lutipg brought up a narrow, intricate, and shal low creels, a distance of upwards of three miles, had to be dragged through a muddy swamp, and after wards. over a considerable space of rocky and inter• sected ground, before they could be placed in the bat. teries. In this service he was much assisted by Lieut. Campbell, of his Majesty's ship Liverpool, whose in. genui ty, in finding out new expedients to overcome each difficulty, as it presented itself, never failed him ; and the precision with which he laid the guns in the twenty-four pounder battery, where he commanded under the superintendence of Captain Walpole, could not be surpassed. " To the rifle company of his Majesty's 63th Re. giment, commanded by, Lieutenant Hunt, I am most particularly indebted. Constantly employed in the most perilous service; exposed not only to the fire of the Arabs below, in the date groves, but also to that of the enemy above; occupying the little towers and breast-works, with which the whole face of the hill was studded to the very top ; they never ceased to evince the utmost spirit, steadiness, and alacrity, and only required to be restrained to prevent their going teo far. To Captain Digby, commanding his Majesty's 65th Regiment, and to Captain Cocke, commanding the detachment on the west side of the fort, 'I am also much 'indebted for their unwearied attenticn to their several duties, as likewise to Capt. Backhouse, of his Majesty's 17th Regiment, com manding the reinforcement, and to Lieut. Morley, commanding the artillery. 44 The judicious positions chosen by Lieutenant Price of the engineers, for the erection of the bat teries, fully bespeak the merits of that Officer. To Major Colebrooke, the Deputy Quartermaster-Gene. ral, and Captain Wilson, your Military Secretary, *horn you were kind enough to permit to accom. party me throughout this service, I am under most particular obligations for their advice and as sittance on every occasion, and to Lieutenant Mir riot, your Aide-de ! Camp, I am greatly indebted, not only for his services during the late operations, but Lbefore at Itasulkhyma, during . the attack on our trenches there. Without the assistance of those O. eers, I should have found it most difficult to keep up my communications with the detachment on the west side of the town and along the extended chain we were obliged to take . ep, round the bare of the hill, to prevent the escape of the enemy. Froth the intelligence and zeal of Captain 'Thompson, the in. terpreter, I have also derived great benefit. To Lieutenants Place and Worsen, the former Acting Quartermaster, and the latter . Acting Adjutant to the detachment, I have likewise had occasion express my obligation for their attention and ala crity in the peiformance of their- duties. Nor can I close this report without feeling that it is due r•-•^ l .-.•t= • .-' .. ~ ~ to LieUtetion ,Irucks, the Agent of Trapsports, to bring to your notice his laborious exertions in the partial - lay line of his duties, during the embarkation and subsequent laridiog of the troops, on the 18th instant, on which necHum the Officers and men be longing to the cruisers and transports, had all to en dure.a day of most seitere lablior and privation. In short, few services of so limited a duration, have afforded more opportimities to the troops to exhibit qualities of greater capability of fatigue and endur ance of privations than the present, 'owing to the great distance of the fleet from the camp, which pre vented the tents from being landed, until the opera .tions were nearly over, and rendered the receipt of the supplies difficult and precarious; but all were borne by the Officers and men with exemplary cheer-, fulness. In conclusion, I beg leave to inclose sop turn of killed and wounded, and I have the honour to be, your most obedient servant, (Signed) "N.

A vessel which has arrived at Porto-Galleto, from La Guira, confirms the report of an armistice having been entered int 6 between MORILLO and Bouv.ta.— A letter from St. Thomas s, of July 7th, states, that Commissioners from the City of Caraccas had just arrived there, on their way to Angostura, where a negotiation is immediately to be opened between the Republicans and Royalists, for a general settlement of the differences which hare so long agitated and afflicted the country. We have extracted from the Bombay Papers the official Reports of the capture of another strong hold of the Pirates in the Persian Gulf, by the troops the command of-Sir.W. KEIR. It was not supposed that there would be any more fighting in that guar tet, as most of the Tribes along the Arabic shore had sent in proposals of submission. . - - - THE LATE DUCHESS OF YORX. Throughout the whole of yesterday the vicinity York House, in St. James's Palace, was crowded with the carriages of the Nobility, who were anxiously pressing forward to leave their cards of condolence. Sir HENRI HALWORD arrived in town yesterday forenoon express, from Wistow, his seat in Leices• tershire, and drove directly to York Muse, where he had an interview of more than .an hour with his Royal Highness. Softie time ago her Royal Highness gave orders for the construction of a vault in the Parish Church of Weybridge, and she herielf s ' tended the execution of the work. It is su therefore, that her Royal Highness,-Intending it as t he depository of her own rionittos i has made known her wishes upon the subjeleto her Royal consort, and that the inter ment will take place there. The different branches of the Royal Family ap• peered in sleep mourning; with crape on their hats, ate. Their principal attendants also appeared in the same mournful state. Yesterday the bells of the Churches of the Metro polis tolled, upon the inalancboly occasion of the 1 death of the Duchess of Moat. di, number of shops were partially closed, particularly those of her late Royal Highness's tradespeople. The Duke of YORK arrived at York House on Sunda night, about twelve o'clock, from Oatlands, the scene of so much afflic tion to his Royal Highness. The'pretopition regarding the fatal occurrences at Greenock has been closed. All the seven soldiers remain IN Jail. We are happy to learn that the two persens who were wounded on this unfortunate occa sion, are doing well. ENGLISH OPERA Housx.—The new Romantic Drama of " The Vampire," which was to have been produced last night, but for the unfortunate which closed the Theatres, is to come out to-morrow' evening. Report speaks favourably of its interesti4g] situations and beautiful scenery; the music is pril- 1 , cipally selected from Scottish Melodies.. The Haymarket Theatre, English Op2ra-house, and other places of amusement under the authority of the LORD CHAMBERLAIN, were closed last night, in consequence of the death of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Yong. It is expected they will open tamotrow night, and will be shut again only on the night of her Royal Highness's funeral. DEPARTURES. • The Ptineess Sophia of Obaoater, fsr Kent. • .

A dispatch has been received from Major-General .Sir W. Grant keir, dated the 3d of this month, to the address of the Adjutant-General of the Army, of which the following is an extract: " Stn—l have the honour to report, for the in formation of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, that a few days after I had last the honour of addres sing you, it was reported to me that the town of ittunpo, one of the piratical ports described in my in structions, about eight miles to the northward of Ra sulkhyma, had been abandoned by its inhabitants, who were supposed to have taken refuge in the hill fort of Zyah, which is situated at the head of a nevi- - gable creek, nearly two miles from ;he sea coast. This place was the residence of Hussein Bin Aly, a Sheikh of considerable importance among the Juasinee tribes, and a person who, from his talents and lawless habits, AS well as from the strength and advantageous situa tion of his fort, was likely to attempt the revival of the piratical system at the first favourable opportu nity. It became a desirable object, therefore, to ex tinguish at once the only remaining hopes of the ill disposed part of the neighbouring population, by .re ducing the power of this Chieftain, whose influence was hourly increasing, and a detachment was accord ingly formed fur this purpose, under the command of Major Warren, of his Majesty's 65th Regiment. " This detachment was composed of 30 artillery men, his Majesty's 56th Regiment, and the flank companies or the Ist !battalion 2d Regiment, with two brass 12-pounders, two mortars, and four field pieces, which were considered fully adequate to the performance of the service. His Majesty's ships Li vcrpool and Curls: moved down to itumpo to expe dite the landing of the stores, and render any further assistance that might be required, and this arrange ment enabled rme to proceed thither to superintend the progress of the operations. It was soon disco vered that the fortifications were more formidable than Lad been represented, and I found it necessary to order a reinforcement of four flank companies, to complete the close investment of the place. Some heavy guns v:e:e also found indispensable, and to save the time and labour which it would require to bring them flop calep, Captain Collier, with his usual readiness to promote the public service, offered two of the Liverpool's twenty-tour pounders, which were immediatnly landed and placed in battery against the fart.

" Ste—Agreeable to your desire, I have the ho nour to detail the operations of the detachment un der my command, which lcd to the surrender of the hill fort and town of Zyah yesterday at noon. " On the 18th instant, I embarked at Resnik hyma at daybreak, in the boats of the fleet, with his Majesty's 65th Regiment under my command, and at neon formed a junction with the flank companies of the Ist 2d Regiment Native Infantry, under Cap tain Cocke, within four miles of our destination. This operation,.however, was attended with consi derable difficulty and risk, owing to the heavy surf that beat on the shore, and which was the occasion of some loss in ammunition, and of a few boats being, upset and stove in. " At half-past three, end. having refreshed my' . men, we commenced our march, and fording the creek or back water, took up our posi:ion at sunset, to the um th-eastward of the fort, the enemy firing at us as we passed, notwithstanding that our messen ger, whom we had previously sent in to summon the S leikh, was still in the place: and I lost no time in pu,liing our riflemen and pickets as forward as I could, without exi,osing them too much to the firing of the enemy, whom 1 found strongly posted under secure cover, in the date tree groves in front of the :own. Captain Cocke, with the light company of lii, Battalion, was at the same time sent to the west ward. to cut off thereireat of the enemy on that side. " At daybreak next morning, finding it necessary to chive the enemy still further in, to get a nearer view ut his defences, I moved forward the rifle com pany of his Majesty's 65111 Regiment, and after con, siderable opposition from the enemy, who, you are well aware, are peculiarly adapted for this species of ;warfare, I succeeded, with a few casualties, in forcing Itim to retire some distance, but not without disputing every foot of the ground, which was singularly cal culated for resistance, being intersected at every few yards by banks and water-courses, raised for the purposes of irrigation, and covered with date trees. " In the course of the day, our messenger returned, with an evasive answer froin the Sheikh : and a couple einht-inch mortars were landed, with great labour and fatigue, one of which commenced playing the same t veniag on the hill fort, and the other the next 'morning. Oa the morning of the '2oth, the position 'occupied by the enemy being still in advance of the tow n, I moved forward the riflemen again , who , in ihcir usual spirited style, quickly forced the enemy - -ield up his cover, and would soon have driven ] io the walls of his town, had they not been re lnetaatli compelled, by my orders, to occupy th e . ~ "_~-.. NAPLES. The accounts from Naples are brought down to the 18th ult. On Sunday, the 16th, that portion of the army in Naples took the oath of fidelity to the new Constitution. More than 15,000 men were drawn up on the occasion, and the Royal Family, with the Ministers, were present at the solemnity.- The festi vities were crowned by a grand dinner, given to the army upon a fine level plain, called the Campo, about a mile distant.. A Decree, signed by the Prince Vicar-General, convokes the Parliament to• meet on the Ist October. Leonard Tocco, Prince of Montimeleto, has set out for London, in quality of Envoy Extraordinary to the Courts of France and England, to announce the political change which has taken place. Prince Cariati has been dispatched on a similar mission to Vienna. Several Sicilian Noblemen, now at Naples, have refused to take the oath to the new Constitutional System, fearing, they siy, to injure rights which they may reclaim in Sicily, whore there are two parties, ane for the Constitution of Spain, .and the other for the Sicilian Constitution, such as it was amended under the auspices of Lord William Bentinck. The frigate Sirena, arrived at Naples from Pa lermo, reports, that the news of the Revolution reached there on the 7th ; but that nothing had as yet resulted from it. The city remained perfectly tranquil, and the people seeped waiting the course of ulterior events. • AUSTRIA. . . - A Vienna article of the 2Sd states ) that it appears undoubted that tht affairs , of 'Naples haite pnrticularly fixed the attention of the Imperial ap.
