The Court ought to consider Whether they could not provide for him by some othir means. The Compeers iffaita Were not in a condition to warrant such a greet, and he was thensfore determined to take the sense of the Court upon the subject, and he hoped the Proprietors would not sup port the Directors in such uncalled for extravagance. Mr. GARAHAN opposed the motion. The CHAIRMAN said, it was necessary that the nevi superintendent should possess a certain naval rank which Captain B. did not hold. It was for the Govett nient to approve of the per son appointed by the, Court of - Directors. General THORNTON ..opposed the Resolution, and asked what was the age of the Captain; and what was the value of the appointment ? • • The CHAIRMAN replied, &hal the Captiiu't age was about 5.5, and his salary 3,500 rupees a month. Mr. WZRDIND supported the Resolution. . Mr. Hums moved as an amendment,.*o That this Court disagree with the Resolution of -the Court of Directors, to grant a pension of 8001. a year. to Captain Buchanan, but recommend him to be appoipted-to the first vacant office in India that may be suitable trellis talent and rank."—Captain Mairisetto secooded the amendment. The Hon. Colonel Lsreasetu STANHOPE said, The proposed grant could only be sinctione4 on principles of corruption. He should like to know what services Captain % Buchanan hid rendered the Company to entitle him to such a ion; besides, the proposed grant was illegal, as tr a C s ompany could not grant a pension beyond the time when the Charter would expire. In his opinion, the whole thing was a job, and nothing but a job. - The CHAIRMAN said, that, in his opinion, a more fair, just, and honourable proposition bad never been submitted to the Court. The Resolution was then put, and the Chairman de cided it to have been carried in the affirmative. Mr. Home differed with the Chairman in this opinion, and demanded a division.—The strangers were then ordered to withdraw. On our return, we were informed the numbers were, For thcorigisal Resolution, . 38 Against it • . IS Majority . —26 THZ saw STAMP REGULATIONS. Mr. Hums rose to give notice of a motion upon' the above subject, when The CHAIRMAN said, that the information received by the Court on the subject was so slight as to render them unable to take the question into consideration at present. Captain MAXPIELD was astonished at the delay in remitting papers from India, relative to a question of such considerable importance. The Court were con sequently kept completely in the dark as to what had occurred. The papers already sent to this country ought to be immediately laid before the Legislature, and the public put in possession of the fullest informs tiou upon the subject. The CHAIRMAN observed, he would not say that no information had been received upon the subject, but that the Directors had not received such information as would prepare them for a discussion , of the question. Captain MAXFIELD observed, that such a delay, under some circumstances, would have involved the safety of the Government of India. He then alluded to the difficul ties thrown in the way of petitioning by the Indian Go• vernment, when the object of the petitioners was to obtain a redress of grievances. It was widely different when thee met to eulogize the conduct and measures of Government. He then readthe petition presented by the British and, Native inhabitants of Cakutta, praying for a repeal of the Stamp Regulations,r ecently prOmulgatecLand concluded by moving, That this Court, with reference tothe recent - Act of Legislature, abolishing the use of Stamps on legal proceedings in Great Britain, recommend to the Court of Directors to take into consideration, the effect produced by the use of stamps in Calcutta, and recommend them to issue such orders on the subject, as may be best adapted to promote the ends of justice. Mr. Hume said, it was at all dines desirable to get rid of taxes, particularly those which pressed most heavily. the law taxes particularly impeded the pro• 'yeas of justice. It often amounted to 70 per cent. on the amount of the property sought to be recovered in the Law Courts of India. In his opinion there were •no taxes so abominable as those on law proceedings. Lord Goderich had io this country abolished those law 'taxes. which more particularly pressed upon the loser - classes. la his opinion the inhabitants Of Calcutta 'ought not to claim an exemption from st!tax that was paid by the provinces. If the provinces in India were to be governed by a military despotism, let that be publicly announced. On the tradition of the alteration in the stainps,the merchants of Calcutta requested the Sheriff would convenes Meeting, but the Sheriff declined doing so, and stated that he acted by the orders of the Govern ' meat. lie (Mr. Hume) stated be hoped it was not true, Out be had beard it from a Gentleman of the highest re. • apectability, resident in India, that a detachment of troops were ordered to be in readiness, if the parties who got it up persisted in holding the Meeting, in order to treat them a-la-Manchester. It was no credit to the Go. • 'moment- there or here to sanction or' tolerate such pro. ceediogs. He then alluded to the suspension of M r.Cou rt. nay Smith, the Chief Judge of the Supreme Native Court of Calcutta, and asked, dare any of our Ministry attempt to express their displeasure if Lord Tenterden or Lord Chief Jo.tice Best delivered opinions disagreeable to them ? Akeviseene further observations on the present system of Goveroment tenedia, he observed, that he agreed with tare late Mr. Wilberforce in opinion, that no human being should ever be eat:oars:l4oth irresponsi ble power. Mr. SAMUEL DIXON observed that the question was one of considerable importance, and ought no; to be de tided upon until further information was obtained. After a very lengthened discussioo, the minion was negatived. •v• INSOLVENT DEATORS COURT IN INDIA. Lola L.

The Repress from Paris, which has brought favourable news from the Pacha of Eorrr, as be wishes to remain at peace with the Allied Powers, and for which purpose he has sent some of his principal Nobility to the several Allied Courts, has had but little effect on }he Consol market, as Consols were done in the first part of the marninLat 831, and at present may be quoted at 4141 for the Account, with little doing.

In regard to the news from Constantinople received bYtOvernment, which we give yesterday, under the date of Nov. 24, we now can add, that the Pacha of Egypt was not much surprised at the destruction of his fleet, which he considered as compromised since the junction of the Allied Squadrons; and it is affirmed he is greatly pressing the Porte to accede to the proposi tions of the Allied Powers. declaring at the same time thatftis resources are exhausted. It was on the 2d November that an Egyptian cm.' vette brought to the Pacha the news•of the engagement at N.tvarin: this event has not in the least changed Ms sentiments or his conduct in regard to the French. The . corvette Dauphinoise, which brought the news, left' Alexandria on the 7th ult. Private letters state that the Pacha of Egypt has sent one of his Nobles to France. and another to St. Peters burgh, as a manifestation of his desire to preserve peace with these Powers. Our Correspondent from Frankfort, of the date of , the 14th December, writes as follows:—I , The nears which we received yesterday of a pacific character is confirmed to-day by a courier from Vienna. At the departure of the courier the Actions of the Bank got up to 1,074. it is assured that the /Leis Effendi declared his wish to commence direct the negotia tions with the Allied Ambassadors.

The Fre nch Papers of Tuesday contain no later in telligence from Constantinople than the last dispatches received in this country. The Infant Don Moon was erFected at Paris on Tuesday.

It is 4f* that all the English troops are to quit Por tagellSese months alter Don MrovaL's return, and that a British squadron in the Tagus will be the only foreign force left. The last dispatches received at the Foreign Office from M r.SrawoaoCeu MING are dated Constantinople, the 24th tit. and were brought by a French Messenger; they are brief, and of a general character, and refer to mote ample details, which our Ambassador expected to transmit to Government in the course of. 48 hours. The embargo had been taken off from foreign vessels at Constautinople, and the usual channels of communi cation were opened by land and sea. At the date of ihe dispatches there was no favourable change ; the SULTAN had repeated his former determination with 1 firince,s, not to accede to the wishes of the Allies, and his demand for compensation for his losses at ifavarin.— The intercourse between the Ambassadors and the REIS ESNINDI, however, still continued, so that nothing definitive, either as to peace or war, had transpired, nor does it appear possible to form a correct opinion as to the result. No hter intelligence than the above has yet been received by our Government, who are in hourly expec tation of receiving from Mr. STaarrour CANNING the Misname of the Porte, in answer to the last ante pow seated by the Allied Ambassadors. • AccirriirfgAb private accounts received yesterday in the city.,*tbe Allied Ambassadors, in the event of matters not taking a more favourable torn, were expected to take their departure on the 27th ult.

On the 24th Motet:l6er there was a tneetint of the Directors and Council of the Rhenish West India Com pany. at Elherfeld. In the Report presented by the Directors it was observed that the affairs of the current year afforded few materials for printed communications to the shareholders, because the re-action of the com mercial crisis of 1825 and 1826, had been felt at the close of the last and the beginning of the present year, by an unparallelled stagnation in the colonial markets, and an extraordinary scarcity of ready money, which had of course deterred the Directors froiCengsiginje, In new undertakings.

He has not that masked, plain, and familiar ease of the Austrian princes, who seem to be every where at home ; but his demeanour is more digni6e and noble in the extreme. He has an Arabianneed, which he strides with a nobleness which gives the pro mile of as good horsemanship as that for which his la ther was so celebrated. His exedras almost adore his, and he commands with a precision and a military eye which prognt sticates a future general. He is, by viP tue of an imperial decree, proprietor of the eight do mains-of the Grand Duke of Toskana, in &hennas with an income of above 20$000i. sterling ;—a greater revenue than is enjoyed by any of the imperial prince. the Archduke Charles excepted.
