TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, T O those Proprietors r , ho were pleased to honour me with their support on Tuesday last, I return my most sincere thanks; and my sense of obligation to them for such sup port is not in any degree diminished by my want of success. I must also beg leave to return my thanks to the considerable num ber of Proprietors who assured me, during the course of my can vas, that their votes were pre-engaged when I declared my inten tion of becoming a Candidate for the Direction, and who pro mised me their support upon a future occasion. I have withheld these thanks longer than I should otherwise have done, because, at the time of offoring them, I wished to communicate to the Proprietors my determination as to my future conduct; and I shonld be sorry to have that determination looked upon as the re sult of hasty decision. When I first became a Candidate for the Direction, I did so under a persuasion that my offering myself to the Proprietors, to whom my conduct was well known, would be acceptable to them ; an I also thought that I might be able to render some service to the Company. The result of the ballot has, I confess, much abated the vanity of those expectations; and the labour of the canvass has increased that desire of ease and re tirement, the prospect of which I was willing to relinquish. In baring gene thus far, I feel as if I had discharged a duty. But I do not feel it to be incumbent upon me to go further. My only hope is, that by retiring, I shall not torfeit the good opinion either of my personal friends, or of the many respectable Proprietors who have honoured me with their support. The strong proofs of approbation which have been bestowed upon me, and the va rious instances of kindness which 1 have received, have made their proper impression upon my mind, and they will prove a comfort to me as long as I live. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, with much respect, Your most obedient and very humble servant, Strand, Jan.l9. RICHARD TWINING. SPAIN. VALENCIA, DECEMBER 13. His Excellency Captain General Don Joseph Caro has received from the Governor of Morella the fol lowing communication : Excellent Senor—A confidential friend, who lfsft. Pamplona on the 26th of November, gives the follow ing information—He states, that Don Joseph Cha varria, a native of that city, and Judge of the Police, under the usurped Government, went in quest of, Mina, generally known by the name of the Student,. with six hundred men, who formed the garriSoa of that place, and three hundred more, who joined him in his route. On the 21st of November they medi tated an attack in the neighbourhood of the town of Arcos, and Mina having learned that Chavarria was in his rear, ordered his party of cavalry, consisting of forty men, to pursue, as soon as the action com menced, whatever individual of the enemy might take to flight, because it might be Chavarria himself ; and this order was so well executed that they actually did seize and kill him, at the same time allowing the two who accompanied him to escape. They tied him to the tail of his own horse, and dragged him through the streets of the town, leaving him at last torn in pieccc. His death caused much joy to the inhabitants of Pamplona, on account of the cruelty with which he had treated them. He states farther, that, in the same action, they killed above 2(Y) French, exclusive of those who escaped in disorder by the way of Pamplona, where they saw many ar rive without arms, and without necessaries. The same correspondent learnt by a friend of his, that at Bayonne, Oloron, and Bordeos. there were no troops.- That on the 22d of November, they had shot at Ba yonne two officers, who had arrived from the North, for having said that things did not go on well there; that forty smugglers entered Belchite on the 28th, and attacked several Frenchmen, killing eight of them, with the loss only of four on their part ; but the French having taken their drummer, nailed him up alive to a post in the mat ket-place of Belchite; that at Pamplona, they had been above two months without any courier, and knew nothing of what was going on at Madrid ; that at Alcaniz alone there were in the castle four hundred French, and in the town a regiment of Poles : that at Pamplona no ex ultation was expressed on account of the peace with Austria ; but, on the contrary, the French were afraid that, being obliged to evacuate Madrid, they should be compelled to retiie to the forts, and that much depression in general prevailed among them. I have thus laid before your Excellency tne whole of what T have heard, assuring you that you may rely on whatever my Correspondent has stated to me, from the gold opinion I know him to deserve. May GOD preserve your Excellency. (Signed) MANDEL DE SUEDES. Morella, Dee. 8,. 1 8?%9. The Assembly of Yecla of the Kingdom of Mur cia, addressed the Supreme Government in the fol- lowing terms : « SlR—The Assembly of this town, on reading the Manifesto of his Majesty, of the 20th of October, addressed to the Spanish Nation, announcing the ap proaching Convocation of the General Cortes, cannot suppress the expression of its sentiments of admira tion and gratitude, or avoid returning the ardent thanks of the districts it has the honour to represent. This measure, to a nation sickened and dispirited, may be called the balsam of life, which in a moment has reanimated the whole system, even to the extre mities of the social body. It is an eternal monument, recording the name of the Sovereign to future ages, and an example of heroic generosity, which in distant times will awaken all the affectionate passions of pos. terity. Immortal glory be ascribed to those illustrious persons who know how to resign that power which is found to be incompetent to save the nation, and which appeals to that nation to adopt those energetic expe. dients which may preserve its liberties and destroy its enemies." After some further observations of the Assembly, indicative of its high approbation of this reference to the wisdom and fortitude of the Spanish people, it concludes as follows : " The mode of the Convention and Election no doubt will correspond with the sublime pile pose, and all classes of the natives will imitate so excellent a pattern. The GOD of Justice will recompence you, and the magnanimity of your virtues, by your eleva tion to that lofty pinnacle of happiness, which is the highest point to which human felicity can ascend, while our nature is confined to this earth.—Goo pre serve you, &c.

GENERAL ORDERS BY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE GO VERNOR GENERAL IN COUNCIL. Eva William, July 20, 1809. The Right Honourable the Governor-General in Council has received private but authentic advises, that Orders having been issued by Major-General Gowdie, the Officer commanding in Chief on the Coast, to Lieutenant Colonel Innes, commanding at Mazulipatam, directing theembarkation of ontormore detachments of the Madras European regiments, on board of his Majesty's ships, for the purpose of serv ing as Marines, the Officers of the station were in duced to entertain the erroneous supposition, that the object of those Orders was to separate, and finally to disperse, that regiment—a design which the Govern ment of Fort St. George has formally disavowed, and, under the influence of this misapprehension, declared their resolution to resist the execution of them. That Lieutenant-Colonel Innes having manifested a deter mination to enforce them, the Officers of the Garrison proceeded to the barracks, and, by personal represen tations succeeded in seducing the troops from their duty, .and in obtaining from them .a promise of sup port; that Major Storey, the next in command, who was then in the cantonments, proceeded to the garri son, and Laving endeavoured, without success, to induce Lieut.-Col. Innes to depart from the obligation of his public duty, by abandoning his resolution to carry into effect the crders which he had received, adopted the extreme measure of plaLing that Officer in arrest under the charge of European sentries. The Governor-General in Council has deemed it necessary to apprize the army of Bengal, of an event so deeply interesting to the feelings of every loyal subject, and especially of those who have the honour to bear a military Commission. The Governor-Ge neral in Council has received, with sentiments of the deepest affliction, the intelligence of the excesses into Iwhich the officers of the station of Mazulipatam have ' . thus been gradually led by the effects of the late pre vailing agitation in the army of the coast. He trusts, however, that this unhappy event will afford a serious and salutary warning of the danger to which the coin , billed interest of the public and the army must ever be exposed, by the first and slightest departure from ! the established principles of military discipline on one ' hand, and on the other, of a just subordination to the ' laws of their country, and to the legitimate authority ' of the State. The occurrence of this afflicting event, combined with the agitation which unhappily prevails among the officers of the army of Fort St. George, renders it the duty of the Governor-General to proceed without de lay, to that Presidency, in the hope of being enabled successlay to appeal to these sentiments of loyalty and attachment to their King and their country, which his Lordship in Council yet confidently ascribes to the general body of the officers of the Coast army, whose zeal, fidelity, and prolossional atchievements, have hitherto been the theme of just and unqualified ap plause, and by an accurate knowledge of all the cir cumstances which have attended the late agitation, to devise such means as may best tend to avert the im pending dangers of anarchy and insubordination, and re-establish the foundations of public security and national prosperity in this important branch of the British Empire.

The Calcutta Extraordinary Gazette , of the 21st of July last contains an important document relative to the mutiny in India, which we have given in ano ther part of our paper. A Naval Officer of high rank has, it is said, received a letter of the 28th of August, from Prince.pf Wales's Island, in which it is stated that Lord MIN•ro had reached Madras, and that the Officers of the estab lishment, who had engaged in the late Confederacy, had been dismissed. By to-morrow much of the present uncertainty re specting the state of affairs of India will be re moved. The Country ship WILLIANI, has arrived off Plymouth, from Bombay. We understand that she brings intelligence of three weeks later date than the last arrivals ; but the letters had not been delivered out when this Paper was put to press. The WILLIAM sailed from Bombay the 2.3 d Sep tember ; from the Cape of Good Hope the 19th of November, and from St. Helena the Ist December. The TAUNTON CASTLE and DOVER CASTLE al rived at Bombay on the 12th of September last, and the MARCHIONESS OP EXETER ON the 19th of that month. The &MD CASTLEREAGH arrived at Calcutta the 19th of October. Private advices from Paris to the 11th inst. were received yesterday. They state that an,American ship, with dispatches for General AttstsraoNu at Pa ris, in attempting to go into Havre on the Bth last. was taken possession of by a French armed ship, and sent into another port. Her dispatches were forwar. ded immediately to Paris, but her crew were not per. • -1.! mitted to have any communication with the shore. This circumstance is of itself i sufficient proof that no definite arrangement has yet taken place between America and France. Great desertions are stnted to have lately taken place in the French armies ; and the Minister of War has issued an Order calling for a large supply of men under the last decree of conscription. The Vneral opinion at the Thuilleriei is, ;ha; the RUSSIA is the destined vew is added, thanhe jewellers diamonds which are to or. _Anises indispositioO, a letter of the 10th states, that on the 6th he had a fresh at tack of his epilepsy, which was so violent as to occa sion considerable alarm'for several days. A Bulletin of the 9th, however, pronounced him to be rapidly recovering from what was only called a slight cold. Hence, doubtless, originated the report of his death, which was received a few days since via Dover. TALLETRAND is again in greet favour with BONA• PARTE, with whom he has of late had several secre t conferences. - It is confidently believed at Paris, that a treaty of peace and commerce has been concluded between NAPOLEON and the I.s:iited States. The date assign ed for this important transaction, is the 3d of the pre sent month. The material points which gave rise to the former differences, are not decided, but reserved for future temperate discussion, and in the mean time, the stipulations of the treaty are to be carried into operation. No concession that has been made during this negociation, with regard to the Berlin and Milan Decrees, is to be retrospe ctive, but is to be limited to events and intercourse on the day, and subsequent to the day, on which the arrangement is dated. Last night accounts were received from Cork by express, stating that information had been received there, that 66 Mr. GILES had brought A Bill into the American Legislature, the object of which is, to im pose a temporary embargo upon all shipping in the ports of the United States." This measure must have been wholly unexpected on 'the other side of the Atlantic, a; all the mercan tile letters, in the entire range of coast, from Boston to Ch;irleston, mention, that there was probabi litY .of the • adoption of such an expedient ; and the commercial people, we believe, throughout tale public, have confidently acted on this opinion. It appears by Spanish Papers received yesterday, that in the short space of eleven days a voluntary con tribution raised by the inhabitants of Mexico fc•r the support of the Mother Country, had amounted no less a sum than £665,273 sterling. This is truly noble ! By the same papers it appears that some pro gress has been made in the business of assembling the Cortes. It is said that Government have resolved to send out a new Minister to the United States ; and that this measure has been adopted through the active in fluence of the Marquis WELLESLEY. We conceive that if Government wish to act with conciliation, and .at the same time with dignity, they cannot send a man better qualified, or possessing in a higher degree the necessary requisites, together with the most am ple experience in the arts of diplomacy, than Mr. HUGII ELLIOT. THE ARMY. The Welch Brigade left Box Hill on the 15th in stant, and marched to t!eir respective quarters in the following order, viz the Royal flint Regiment to Hastings ; the Merioneth, to Battle ; and the Royal Pembroke, to Pleyden Barracks, Rye. Monday morning, Captain CIIAMIIERLAINN COM ' pally of Royal Artillery, marched from Brompton barracks, for Woolwich ; Major Atims's marched for dui same place last week. . Thursday the sth inst. the ballot for the Local Militia for the division of Ashford commenced, and finished on Friday, when there appearing only forty nine Volunteers, the deficiency was balloted for ac cording to the Act of Parliament. Our Readers will recollect our late intimation that Government had issued an order for ta i king away the permanent pay from all the non-commissioned officers and drummers of the Local Militia Regiments, ex 'eepting to one serjeant and one drummer for each company, at the most. This appeared to us, at first, a hard, if not an unjust measure towards those en gaged in such situations ; especially as many of them bad gone to a distance from their 'Omer connections and employments, allured by the promise of a per manent appointment, at least for the four years of tfleir engagement. We find that the Commandants of the different Regiments of the West Riding of Yorkshire perfectly concur in this opinion, as they met on Fri day se'nnight at Wakefield, and unanimously agreed upon a representation on this subject, which has been sent to the Lord Lieutenant, in which they alledge the great injury all those reduced by this older must sustain, and the absolute insufficiency of those re tained to complete the necessary training and disci plining of their respective corps. Mr. BATHURST.— It appears by intelligence receiv ' ed in this Country that Mr. BATIIURST left Berlin with passports from the Prussian Government, and in excel lent health both of mind and body. He was to pro ceed to Hamburgh, to embark for this country—but :Hamburgh he never reached. At some town near the French territories he was seized, as is supposecl ? by a party of French soldiers. What happened afterwards l i§ not accurately known. His pantaloons have been found near the town where he was seized, and a letter in them to his wife; lint nothing else. The Prussian Government upon receiving the intelligence evinced the deepest regret, and offered a large reward .for the discovery-of his body. No success, however, has yet attended this offer. If he had perished by the.' hands of robbers, how came the French Government to announce that he had put an end to his own life, an assertion which the Prussian Government contra-, diet by offering a reward for the discovery of his body —hii body would have : been found where the suicide was committed Whether he yet lives we know not may be that he-may have been camed.off to Pa ris, though Nto can scafcely conceive a Mae for , . such an atrocity. addressed to the Spanish Nation, anna proaching Convocation of the General suppress the expression of its sentimer tion and gratitude, or avoid returntr thanks of the districts it has the honor This measure, to a nation sickened may be called the balsam of life, whit; has reanimated the whole system, eve mities of the social body.
