c 'rcum‘tattee, that it having been agreed that : , t lie restored who could procure the patr ,- c „ individual Director, it had been the good of this young Centleman, and of others, to . this h lividual nomination, while some others . • , less fortunate. said it h ,c 1 been resolved that 16 young .:semen, whose nominations had been procured, . • irrupt practices should be dismissed, under a re tion that they should not be deemed incapable R m.. again admitted to the Company's service, if s e nt rd by any individual Director on his own pa tronage. It surely, however, was not the meaning of the Directors, or of that Court, that presentations s h„,,id fly out to India, for the purpose of restoring those youne men before their being recalled home, and inquiry made into each individual case ? It had been his own intent on after these young men should tmve arrived in this coun try , to move it as a recom mendation to the Court of Directors. that all those am ,, lig them who were innocent,slotild be restored to the service; but he could not think that i Gentleman who had friends and possessed accomplishments such a; Mr. m a gniac was known to be possessed, should b e restoreswhile other riling men who had no f r iends, but were equally innocent, should be suffered to fall victims to this general error of the whole. He felt conscious of no feeling on this occasion, except a desire to uphold the authority of the Court of Direc tor, to which they themselves did not seem srlftci mt)t• attentive. He had up wish, however, to oppese the present motion. He should not 'even move any thing this day on the subject, but when the other per sons dismissed should arrive in this country, should, humbly recommend to the Directors, that they would condescend to re-examine into the case of each, and that those who should he found personally innocent should be restored, not as an act of individual pazro nage, but as an aggregate act. Mr.Sarsom was satisfied that it was highly proper, that all those who were not personally culpable should be restored ; but this he thought might be done with out subjecting the young men to the cruelty and ex pence of bringing them back to this country. The icqu.ry could be carried on here as effectually as in India. He was satisfied that the humanity of the Directors would be extended to every one, except the case where manifest fraud. had been practised by the party himself. If all were to be brought back to this country, there would be some of them who could not b e restored, as being above the age. Mr. 'trek said, if peremptory orders had been dis. patched .or bringing them home, they must now be on 'their way. Mr. GRANT thought that the two great objects in Tip when the Resolution was passed, had been ob tained, namely, to strike an example to deter from such rractices in future,. and to vindicate the eharac. ter of the Company. These being effected, he did not ste any necessity for all of them being brought home. The Directors had enquire.] and were satis fied as to the inw.cence of the parties now proposed to be restored. They had been restored by a valuable sacrifice of individual patronage, which was the test re 19r, rocl to shew that there was no corruption in the case. 1.1. Rion thought it possible that all the young Gentlemen might be restored without calling on the Directors, to make a sacrifice of individual patronage. Mr. R. Wna.tsms (Director), having discharged his duty in the first instance, should feel gratified in seeing every oneof the young men who was himself innocent, restored. If the Honourable and Learned Gentleman (Jackson) should either now or . at any other time make such a motion, be should second it. Mr. BOSANQUET was of opinion that the Directors would listen to any proposition recommending mercy, but thought it should not he done in a moment. Mr. TWINING conctirred in expressing his conviction that, if a recommendation to tkis effect were made to the Directors, it would be attended to. Mr. JACKSON did not wish to deprive the Directors of the grace of that mercy which would so well be came them, and which he wished to see flow sponta neously. If they did not follow up his expectations, he should not esteem himself precluded from again tringne, the matter forward ; but the Directors, as their own act, would re-appoint those young men, he knew it would be highly gratifying, at the same time that it was the most constitutional mode of proceed ing. Where the authority was, there he wished the £race to continue also. Mr. GEORGE SMITH was certain all those whom it teas proper to re-appoint, would be sn re-appointed by the individual Directors. Two Writers and one Cadet were to be reported this day. There only re mained six Cadets, one of whom could not be re ;toted, and the remaining five, he had no doubt, would he re-appointel in the course of the next year. r The motion for confirming the re-appointment of `.r. .Mazniac was then put and carried ; as was a . motion for con fi rm i ng t h e re - appo i ntment o f M r . E. J. Smith, also a Writer ; and Mr. Williams, a Cadet: The appointment of an Assistart in the Oriental Department of the Military Establishment of the Company at Woolwich, with a salary of R 250 a year, tras approved of. The CHAIRMAN informed the Meeting that this Ckeut had been made special, on account of a Petition lehich had been presented to the House of Commons, .:1 consequence of which a Bill had passed both Houses (,i Pal-I i.nnent ordering a trant. of li million of Ex clever Bills for the assistance of the Company. Also to state that another Petition had been pre sented, to the House of Commons, praying that the stccounts between the Country and the Company Could be re v i se d, w hi c h P et i t i on h a d b een re f erre d a Committee. This Petitio n being read, Mr. R. Itoicsov compli mented the Dixctore fur the attention and care which had been here shewn to the interests of the Company. Z . y such clear and intelligible developements of the real 'tae in which t h ey stood with respect to the public', 1 e calumnies of theta enemies would quickly he mad% aPParent.—The Court then adjourned. -----__ ,THE COU11•;F.

His MAJESTY then congratulates both Houses upon the capture of Guadaloupe, an event which for the first time in the histca7 of Great Britain, has de prived France of the last of her possessions in the 1 , West Indiei; and alsoupon the subsequent capture of the Dutch possessions in the same quarter of the globe—acquisitions which must inevitably deprive the enemy of all further means of annoyance to our daily extending commerce. In the Speech to the House of Commons his Ms. MIT thanks them for the supplies which They have so liberally granted for the services of the yea-; and while he regrets the continuance of the arduous struggle in winch we are engaged, lie congratulates the country on the 4tity increase of our resources, and revenues,. from the unprecedented extension of our Cntninerce to all parts of the world-+-4 circum stance which happily renders the imposition of new burdens or fresh taxation wholly unnecessary.

Came in the American ship Boston, from Gibri% tar, in 16 days : his Majesty's ships HIBERNIA and NORTIWASBERLAND, sailed two days bLfore for Eng land. His MAMMY next congratulates both Horses of Parliament that Portugal has been regaled from the grasp of the enemy by the strenu , us efforts of his Ma• jesty's army, aided by the exertions of the Portuguese ,nation—and that Spain, notwithstanding the many reverses of fortune she has experienced, still maintains her resistance to the invader with an unabated spirit of zeal and perseverance. . _ _ His Mmes . TY then assures both Houses of Parlia ment, that he deems k equa ly for the honour of his Crown and the interests of his Kingdom, to continue his firm mid uns:laken support of both these loyal ;lotions. His MAJarry concludes by recommending to the Members of both Houses of Parliament to exert them selves, during the ensuing recess, in their respective counties, in propagating a spirit of unanimity and con cord, with obedience to order and the laws, as the only means of enabling his MAJESTY to give effect to his exertions in the continuance of the arduous straggle in which we are engaged; and while his MAJESTY thus exhorts both Houses of Parlim,nt, he assures them that his conduct will ever be regulavd by these dic tates—a line of conduct which his MAJESTV'S long reign, and the general loyalty of his subjects has con vinced him, is best suited to enable him to meet the foreign enemy with effect. Thr. KINS came? to town yesterday from Windsor. His MAJESTY arrived at the Queen's _Palace about twelve o'clock. Just before his MAJESTY had entered the Palace, the Duke of CUMBERLAND, who had taken an airing in his carriage, for the first time, had alighted from his carriage, to receive his Royal Father, together with the Dukes of KENT, Sussex and CAmmonoe. His MAJESTY appeared highly gratified to find that the Duke of CUMBERLAND was so far recovered as to be able to come out to see him. Both his Royal Highness's arms were in slings, he not having the use of either hand. His head was bound with black silk, and he wore a black silk cap. His MAJESTY held a Levee soon after two o'clock. ... The following had the honour of being presented to his MaJEsTv : Captain Sir .I.iNSES Yto, Royal Nary, on receiving his Ma jesty's pertnission to 'iccept the rank of a Knight of St. Bento, of Avis, and the honour of British knighthood.

His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, at which his Speech, delivered this day by the Lords Commissio ners for proroguing Parliament, was read. Lord ANNESLEN has retired from the situation of Chairman to the Board of Excise in Ireland, and is succeeded by Mr. ALEXANDER MARSDEN. In the case of the Lessee of Hussey v. Lord T.

No engagement had been fonzht so late as the 31st ult. nor had any military move ment of any consequtnce taken place on either side. The Lord Hobart packet has arrived at Palmouth in 15 days from Cadit. The Townsend packet has also arrived at the same port with mails from Malta, Gibraltar, and Cadiz, only ten days from the last Mentioned port, When the Townsend left Cadiz every thing remained as when else last received ac counts came away. The place was considered as in perfect security 'against any effort that could be made by the enemy, who in fact has made no farther pro gress since the capture of Fort Matagorda. Provi sions of every kind are plentiful in that city. The Gribraltar Chronicle of the 26th ult. states, that on the 14th, about 2500 of the French presented themselves before Marbella and the Castle of Saint Louie, which they summoned to surrender, offering to the Garrison all the honours of war. The demand was treated with contempt, and the enemy withdrew the same night, and retreated towards Malaga. CADIZ, MAY SI.
