The Joerset dee Debuts of the 11th explains the in telligence which we communicated some time ago, concern ing the Greek Government. It appears that the Govern ment bad actually been obliged to shut itself up in the sink mile of Boudge, from which it continued to issue orders, which were tot obeyed. The Stiliotes and Ron tneliets were tweeters of the fort of Palamide, while CoLo coraoett, with 2,ooelnen, occupies the city, but is endea vouring continually to enter the fortress. The siege of Athens, we *retold, still continues. From Portugal we learn that the insurgents at Lisbon have been sent on board a Portuguese line-of-battle ship, the St. Sebastian. General OTONNEL, in Spain, continues to publish cir . clars against the Portuguese Constitution. An E:igi:sh 44uadron has been seen near the Balearic Islands. We insert to-day • letter on the subject of Count :Ai at A's pamphlet. The substance of this production had I).yn transmitted to us before the Meeting of the Greek /landholders, from a quarter which gave it an official cha racter; but the more mature consideration of the party himself, and the advice of individuals better able to judge of the proper course to be pursued in the affairs of Greece, induced our informant at that time to withdraw his corn w:unication. We cannot conceive why an unauthorized in dividual now comes forward to publish what men of undis puted integrity and judgment had thought it advisable to suppress—what the persona best entitled to make the dis• closure had found reason to withdraw from publication. 'We happen to know that there arc certain circumstances of which Count PALM• is ignorant, and of which the public must be content for some time to remain ignorant, ,hough by these alone the secret history of Greek affairs in ever be developed. That development will take place due thee. Hitherto ail the speculations of our contetn wraries have boa Nothing but groundless conjectures. Among a number of Parliamentary documents which ave just been published, there is one of very great im ,ortance—" An Account of ali Fees payable to the Clerks the Crown, Clerks of the Peace, Clerks of Assize, elerks of Nisi Prins, Clerks of Indictments and Associates, .11 England, in respect of all Criminal Proceedings ; speci :'ying the authority under which they are respectively de manded." The manner in which Mr. PEI, r. has exerted himself for the reformation of our Statute Book gives us the best possible pledge of his sincerity in all his profes loons on that subject, and justifies the hope that he will follow up the work which he has so admirably begun. This could not, in our opinion, be better accomplished than by the establishment of a Public Prosecutor,ss was proposed last session. It is to be feared, in many cases, that the Is:ckwardness of Englishmen to every thing like playing the informer—particularly when the task of bringing an offender to justice is attended with such a serious expense as at present—contributes very materially to the increase of e rime, by removing the chance of punishment to a greater distance from the criminal. The mitigation of our Crinti ral Code will be impracticable, without some arrangement to increase the chance of punishment. Movie sou tee first , observed, that punishments were always increased in :.!verity . in proportion to the difficulty of detecting them, . r, what comes to the same thing, of Lringing the criminals punishment. In common life it is always observed that master of a family, whose disposition incapazitatts him :out keeping a strict watch over dime who are placed . . under him, ri always the mcst severe in his punishments when his habitual carelessness discovers by chance even a :idling delinquency. When many escape, the only re ~urce is make the one who is found out the scapegoat, n whose head the punishments due to all must be united. Thus such persons hope to accomplish by terror what must be done by care. The moderation of punishments recom mended. by BECCARIA would only aggravate the evils of our Code, if it were not so managed as in the first instance to increase the number of criminals detected, and in the next to convince the undetected criminals of the little Lance which would tl:eu remain of their escaping. in :his way every thing that can facilitate the objects of justice is of importance, and we do not know any thing that would 'acilitate those objects more than the appointment of n eublic Prosecutor. Our Police Establishment ought, no Lubt, to participate in the improvements now in regress; its improvement ought, in fact, to go along with • hem. At present the criminal has so many chances in 1-. s favour, that lie soon discovers the little reality in the rrors inspired by the great punishments of our law. He the chance of entirely escaping detection —he has the e.ce of eF , :eping by restitution—he has the chance of - , ::eting with a stupid, drunk, or corrupt watchtuan;or con ha* the chance of meeting with a careless pro . elator ; he may escape by the mistake, neglect, orcrimi r qonnivartee of a night constable; he may compound for the non-appearance or suppressed testimony of the pro secutor; he may escape by want of evidence in the Police Court ; he may escape by a fault in the committing Magis trate. It is not necessary to go any farther : enough has been said to show that the chance of being hanged for a crime which are assigned, by writers on the doctrine of chances, as those within which a man of moderate courage has any reason to ha alarmed. It is true we have acted like the Lottery Contractors—we have endeavoured to snake up for the many blanks in our lottery of punishments, by al,- ' pointing one or two great prizz , s, under the idea- that the fear of these will blind men to the chance of escape. This would be well enough calculated, though at best it would only impose on the weak ; but unfortunately every one of the immense majority who escapes is hardened by that escape in his crimes. He even prides himself on being equally guilty with those who are actually expoiied to a fate to which he flatters himself that he has too much ad dress ever to fall a victim. Many in consequence become guilty of capital offences, ant capital punishments become more frequent than before, as compared with slighter ones. This produces new abuses, which have been often insisted upon. In order to reform our laws, we ought, therefore, to look in the first place to every thing which can contribute to prevent the escape of the criminal from justice. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENIVO. There has not been any considerable business done to-day. Consols, however, were well disposed to take advantage of any thing that might occur for a rise; during the day they were as high as TOL hut, as was the case yesterday, at the close of the market they took up their ground at the open ing quotation of 790, aad, for the Account, 79H. It was reported during the morning that the Hon. CHARLES Lem 13 had been recelled from Madrid, and that the Spa nish Ambassador, who has but recently arrived in this country, was also upon the eve of departure. Report did not go the length of saying that this was occasioned by any difference between the two Cabinets, and it is but fair to presume that the changes in question do not arise from political causes of so grave a nature. The long-reported visit of Mr. CANNING to Paris is about to be realized, inas much as he left London this morning with his family, for the French capital. It is understood his visit is wholly of a private nature, being a long-promised one, to his friend, Viscount GRA N E, the British Ambassador. The Foreign Market has resumed something of its usual bustling character, in consequence of the brokers making up their accounts for the settlement to-morrow. The only alteration that need he noticed is in Mexican Bonds, which have been done at et, and finally closed at 53i; Chilian vary from 36 to 38, and are considered doubtful at those quotations. In other Stocks there is little or no business doing, and they therefore remain at last prices; and Shares are any thing but sought after. The Corn Market has not displayed so much activity as on Monday ; there has, however, been some considerable purchases made, at an advance of one shilling per quarter in Oats and Beans; and it is confidently asserted that Oata are as dear in the northern ports as in London. The orri sal of the Ilamburgh steam-packet, with the Mail of Sa turday, is anniously looked for, as she would be the bearer of information as to the general effect produced upon the Continent by the opening of the British ports. IL is ascer tained that the Rotterdam packet could not get out, in eon servo:nee of the gale of win:l, until Sunday ; but supposing the same delay had been necessary at Hamburgh, the vessel ought to have arrived yesterday. Policies of Insurance have been opened at Lloyd's upon her at five to ten guineas per cent. Illieat and other grain beat about the same quotation as they did at Monday's market. In the Colonial Merket there is not quite so much doing as last week, but, as regards prices, they retain a steady character. It is stated that Lord Amherst was recalled from intlia on ' account (as it is now alleged) of his conduct during the mutiny at llarrackpore, and that he was expected to leave Calcutta in June last. The reports now current are, that counter orders have been since sent nut, and that lie is to remain in India. The Vigo speculation has failed. The ship, with the diving apparatus, has returned. All the vessels stink in the bay have been examined ; there is no specie found. I The only things which the Company have got ate some curious specimens of the effects of salt water on iron , copper, wood, crockery-ware, &e. The St. Petersbergli Journal of the 27th ult. contaira a very long article from Odessa, relative to a new Company called " The Odessa Black Sea Company;" authorized by the late Emperor Alexander, by a Reacript of the loth Oct. 1:325. The object of the Company Is, to erect sills, to be worked by steam, fur the purpose of converting the wheat, which abounds at Odessa, into flour. By doing this, it is calculktcd that the Company can enter into suc cessful competition with the United States in the flour trade. The capital of the Company is to be " one million of rubles, in bank notes, in 1,000 shares, payable in four instalments." The steam-boat from lihroburgh, due on Monday last has not yet arrived. Five and ten guineas per cent, are oftkred at Lloyd's to insure this ship. She is looked for by the merchants with some anxiety, particularly for the interest of the intelligence she brings respecting the fur ther effects of the advance in Colonial produce here, and the opening the ports fcr foreign grain. At the date of the last letters, the opening of the ports was known, and had nrodne, d a great sensation. Oats were as high as in England. _ There is about 1,500 quarters of oats in bond at Glas gow, deliverable under the late proclamation ; but there are no peas, beans, nor rye. The duty on potatoes im ported is 2s. per cwt. The brewers of Scotland are expe riencing the good effects :of the abundant crop of hops in England. The same quantity of hops (two pockets) that would last year have cost 22/. Ss., are stated in the London invoices to be tik Ha.; and they are expected to be still lower. The duty laat !year, from the bad crop, was only about 20.0001. ; this season it will be upwards of 240,000!.. An intelligent drover, who has just perambulated nearly the whole of Argyleshire, states, that the oldest farmers do trot recollect of a season in which the potatoes in that county had a more luxuriant appearance. He mentions that round (Than particularly, the crops are very superior. Caled,,niau fiferenry. The Lake of Geneva at present is lower than it was ever known to he.

M ENC.—A case of some nicety has come before the Magistrates at Marylehone. A poor man was abut to he removed from Marylebotie parish to Diss, in Norfolk. On his examination, it turned out that he had rented a house of 241. a year in Paddington, for a twelve month, which, by Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act, entitled him to a settlement. The parish contended that he had not paid his rent. In fact, he had paid 10/. and given a bill fur I t/. of which 41. were still due. The Magistrates, after a long discussion, declared their joint opinion, that the man had gained a settlement, and that the acceptance of a bill by the landlord, though not an acquittance of the debt, was tantamount to an abandoning of his right of distraint. A case was cited, in which the King's Bench hail held a contrary doctrine, but the Magistrates adhered to their de- Ste,—A publication in the shape ot' a pamphlet has lately ap peared, entitled A Stunnittry Account of the Steam-boon fur Lord Cot ht one's FIT-Onion, 4.... professed to be written by one Count Alerino Palma (an Italian emigrant, if we mistake not.) The per ticular object of this publication is not made manifest, neither are we given to understand tl:e grounds upon which its author has thought proper to send forth to the world a fresh statement of par- I tinders already well known, and containing a misrepresentation of some &en+, with the real state of which we are well acquainted in common with many others. The author, unwilling to let us know the sources from which he derives that portion of his information presumed to be unknown to the public, leaves to his stork an civi -1 vocal character by no means calculated to i;.sure conviction in the minds of its readers. Air. Palma indulges in the language of vituperation throughout his pamphlet, and would make us believe that, with one single exception, every person in this country who ! has taken a part in Greek affairs, direct or indirect, has much to answer for. Against one individual especially lie seems desirous to lavish Wo abuse; and why he should have selected the very person who, of all the qualified Directors of Greek affairs, has proved himself the least open to animadversion, to hold him up to public distrust, we shall leave the aforesaid Count Alerino Palma to explain satis factorily at his leisure. Meanwhile we shall proceed to a few ex planatnry remarks on certain passages of his pamphlet. We find in page 12, and again, page 26, an attack upon Mr. Spaniolacki, the actual Representative of the Greek Government in London, which either is founded upon • complete ignorance of facts, oe proceeds from an intention to call in question the common ho nesty of that gentleman's dealinga. The paragraphs alluded to are thus worded :—" Mr. Spanioha•ki, who had been sent to Paris as their Deputy, commissioned by Orlando and huriottis with 11,0001. to be expended in the manner agreed upon between them, fee the good of Greece, expended this money, conjointly with Mr Ter. tutus, in the manner they thought proper." Again, page 25: " Next we must take into consideration the mow., spent by Mr. Spaniolacki at Paris, in purchasing things which, it is reported, are entirely lost, having been taken by the pirates, and rot having been insured. When once he (Mr. Spaniolacki) shall have fully esta blished his accounts (as I hope he will do), then he may legiti mately continue to examine and assist the Committee in their con trol over the accounts of the other Deputies." The real facts were as follow :—Mt. Spaniolacki had on this occasion agreed with his two colleagues, that he should send from Paris, or other parts of France, a corps of officers to Greece, pro-1 vided with all necessaries at the Government's expense, their tra velling expenses paid them, ie.c. ; but the 14,0001. proved insuffi dent to defray such an egpodition, therefore 111 r. Spaniolseki„ with Mr. Ternaux' co-operation, laid that money out in the put chase of muskets and accoutrements for the regular troops in Greece. These were duly embarked. at Marseilles, and safely and in due time reached Napoli di Romania, where they were re ceived by tile Government (according to their letters to Mr. Spaniolacki, which highly approved of the manner he had em ployed the money); and Colonel labeler's regiment was equipped out of this supply of necessaries. The differences which arose on Mr. Spaniolaelti's return to London, between him and his col leagues, did not proceed from any unwillingness on his part to give up the accounts of the employment of the money cordlded to him, as Count Palma asserts, but sprung from causes, a refereom to which might appear irrelevant here. Count Palma, suffice it to say, does not seem in the least acquainted with them. In page 29, an explanation is attempted relative to the manner in which the most lamentable business of the frigates in Americo ori- ginated, and is evidently intended to exculpate the Deputy Orlando (not Luriottis, who receives a sharp coup de patio, but by the very tenor of which we are bound to believe that the whole blame of that unfortunate tram:Hon ought to fall on the two Deputies them selves. lie acknowledges that the instructions given to Gaseral Lallemand were not strictly conformable to those which the Depu ties had received from their Government; that they gave full powers to the General as their agent with respect to the size of the frigates, though their own instructions did not authorize them to trait for ships that carried above forty-four guns, fifteen on each side. gut, adds the worthy Count," some Philhellene, of great importance," to whose advice it was absolutely necessary to yield in oaks to keep on good terms with them, were determined chat the Deputies should send out General Lallemand fully empowered ; and so those Deputies, in order to please the " Philhellene of great importance," could not do otherwise than disobey the positive orders of their Ga -1 vernment ! The Count also finds abundance of fault with the gul llifications of a Cavalry General to act as Agent for a Naval Ar mament, and risure4 us, on the positive authority of his own word, that a tradesman's clerk would have been a more proper person to enploy on such an errand, and would not have expected to be paid at the rate of 1201. per month ! So we find here that every body cencerned is to blame, except the very individuals by whose ac knowledged weakness and ignorance the mischief his arisen. Since the Greek Deputies were so apt to be led by their officious Counrellors, it is most deeply to be lamented that some one did not urge them immediately to accept the offer of five first-rate new East Indiamen, made to them previous to the American business, for the moderate sum of 150,1100 L, carrying each forty guns, per fectly sound, and in the highest order. Here, however, the two Deputies were left to take their own counsel, and they may well re pent now of their indecision. Had these five ships been then pur chased, and sent to Greece without loss of time, many of the cala mities which have since befallen that country would have been avoided. The Greeks would have had an efficient force with which to oppose the landing of the Egyptian troops, Navarino and Misso longlit would be now in their hands, and they would have kept in awe the maritime forces at both the Egyptians and Turks. With respect . to the nature and efficiency of the powers with which Mr. Sparnolacki is invested from his Government, and which Count Palma makes the subject of some remarks. as he says, oil passant, in page 20, we are not for oar own parts disposed to look upon them as the lets legal, because the notification of his having been invested with them bas not yet been directly made to the other two Deputies, whose recall they also announce ; neither is it the business of the Greek Itondholder4, or any other persons in this country, that the Commission of Government, which signed Mr. Spaniolacki's new powers, should consist of thirteen individuals, and be an " admirable one" in the view of Count Alerino Palma, provided that Commission be legally constituted, as there is no reason to doubt is the case. 11'hether the form of Government at present existing in Greece be a *in one or not, in the opinion of any foreigner, is a question of very little importance to that country, which, after all, i■ the best judge as to the arrangement of its own domestic concerns ; but that any moral defects existing in the present mode of administra tion in Greece should be pointed at 3.1 likely to affect the credentials of its actual representative in England, can only prove either that Count Pelona ha been hired by Mr. Orlando to become his apologist in this country after his departure from it ; or that the same Count Palms has written at random, without reflection. without object, and with a profound tgnorance of some of the subjrctr upon which he pretenda to treat. . _ A second volume of documents relative to Greece has been published by the Greek Committee of Paris. It is remarkable for the absence of concealment or reserve, and for the impartiality with which all the authentic communi cations from Greece, whether favourable or unfavourable to the cause, are given. The receipts and disbursements of the Committee are enumerated, and the fullest informa tion is furnished on the subject of the different contracts for provisions and warlike supplies. In the expenditure there appears to have been much discretion and sound judgment exercised ; and in every case, we understand, the services of the Committee have been gratuitous. On the subject of Lord Cochrane's expedition there is no informa tion of a positive nature (his movements not coming under the jurisdiction of the Committer), beyond a statement made to them in the month of July, that his Lordship had sailed from Falmouth in the sloop Porcupine, of 20 guns, manned by a picked crew of 120 Englishmen, and that he was joined by two steam-boats, having four 24-pounders each, and two cannons, or horizontal mortars, made to carry a hollow ball of 68 lbs. In the course of July he was to be jifined by two French corvettes, carrying 21) to 24 guns each, manned chiefly by Belgians and Dutch men, who were engaged under the instructions of Lord Cochrane, when he was in the Netherlands. It was also understood that four steam-vessels, and several other volt sels of war, including a large 60-gull frigate, had been contracted for in America. It has become quite a common speculation at Newcastle to import horses from Germany. Two or three cargoes arrived in the course of last week. It is also, we hear, in contemplation to import a q uantity of hay from Holland. This will probably make fother in the ensuing winter less expensive in some places than was anticipated.—Tyne Mercury. DUTCH PAPERS. VIENNA, AUG. 31. The following account appears in the journal called Lima. pub lished at Agram in Crawls : " On the 14th of this month a little girl, named Barbers Mimic, was employed in tending shad of cattle near the village of Ivansi, about a league from A gram. All at once the child was At tacked lad bitten by a hungry wolf. A very remarkable circum stance, op rather a wonderful interposition of Divine Providence, is the manner in which the child was saved from the wolf, to which she seemed already to have fallen a pey. The cows and oxen grazing in the meadow all ran to the spot, attacked the wild beast with their horns. and thus delivered the child from certain death. Its cries, and the extraordinary commotion among the catite, attracted the peasants at work in the fields to the spot. They immediately went in pursuit of the wolf, and had the good fortune to kill it the day following. A skilful lemma being immediately called in, it is expected that the child will be speedily recovered." AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 9.

Under dare of Augsburgh, Sept. 5, we find an article from the Oriental Spectator, which, as u'ual, represents the affairs of the Greeks to be in a most desperate situation. From Frankfort, Stpt. 1, we find it f,tatttl that the coming fair is likely to pass off much better than the Easter fair did. FRANKFORT. SEPT. I. We cannot yet say any thing positive with respect to the lair. We hear that several large sales of English tnattufsctures, espe cially woollens, have been made ; and it is added, and, under the circumstances, is probable, upon reasonable terms. With respect to wool, which in so many respects is one of the most impertant articles at our fair, the result of the lute fair at Brunswick en courages the hope that the present fair will prove more favourable than the lust Easter fair; and, notwithstanding the large supplies, better prices are confidently expected. In general every thing in dicates that there is an improvement in the state of the money 11111 t. ket, and in the commercial world, as it daily becomes clearer that many apprehensions hitherto conceived had their source in a troubled imagination. Nay, it seems as if the general despondency which prevailed a few months ago, as well on the Continent as in England, had been taken advantage of by many persons to gratify their low passions of envy and ill will, and enjoy a malicious satis faction at the expense of others. VIENNA, SEPTEMBER I.—Metalliques 91 5-16 ; Bask Shares 1075. Extract of a letter from Tacna, near Arica, in Peru, by a gentleman, a native of Dumfries, to his brother, dated 14th April last Arica, I think, is the most miserable place on the face of the earth ; upon my lite, I never saw human miry in perfection till I saw Arica. I can scarcely describe it—l alsall attempt it. The few bonus that are in it are built of mud, and some of them of canes only ; the foundation in a dry sand ; the inhabitants a breed between the Indians and negroes, called Satnbos. The town itself retains the marks of Lord Cochrane's operations upon it. There is an old church-yard in it, where several people who were killed by Lord Cochrane, and others who hare died natural deaths, have been thrown in ; but such is the nature of the ground, that the bodies become quite parched up, and never decay, at least into dust ; and kundreths of these bodies lie there quite exposed in this state. Legs, arms, skulls, &c. with the skin on, quite burnt brown ! The sight is h o rrible; anti if I mistake not, woli'd even astonish some of the Edinburgh duetors. None of the merchants reside there, but all in this place, which is about 14 leagues to the north-east of Arica, in a stony valley, in which there are few cultivated spots. The town is pretty decent, con,idering ; but the rum' between it and Arica is a second edition of the great desert of Sahara—not quite so extensive." We have repeatedly called the public attention to the necessity of having a hatbour of refuge for shipping on our south-east coast, and pointed out Hawthorn f ive, near Easington, as the most eligible site for that purpose. The disastrous consequences which have followed the dreadful gale of Wednesday and Thuraday last, strikingly show the benefit that might acrrue from such a haven, and the loss of lives and property that must be deplored without it. The Esk, a fine large ship belonging to Whitby, employed in the Greenland trade, and returning homewards well fished, has been totally lost near !Wear, and, we under stand, all hands have perished. La Sablaise, a small French vessel, which had been at this port with oil-cake, and was on her way back to Havre-tie-Grace with coals, was lost on Wednesday night at the mouth of the Tees, though the crew were fortunately saved. o:her shipwrecks, we hear, have occurred on the same coast, of which we have not yet been able to ascertain the particulars. We would ask any practical man, any man of common under standing, if many of these melancholy catastrophes might not have been spared, if the vessels had had any place of refuge? We would appeal to any man possessing ordinary feelings of humanity, whether knowing, this fact, every exertion should not be made to procure such a harbour, were it only to rescue our seamen from destruction. If we are so early edicd on to record the loss of lives and pro perty from shipwreck, we may dread what is to follow be fore the end of the year.—Tyre Merury.

French Pa pers, that Captain Parry was at Paris: this k t vidently mistake, as we learn from a personal friend of his, that that gentleman has been a resident in London fur several weeks past. A number of Noblemen and Gentle:nen, many of them married, have been lately annoyed by certain ciretdar.; which are sent to them on their arrival in town. The fol lowing is a copy of one of them : " Should e. uld make it convenient to condescend a call on the lady per enclosed card, in the course of to-morrow afternoon, a Low ! munication en etheiauee, pertaining to adother, may be expected an a , surati interesting, as presumed grateful, nature. — Tuesday eyeninii: The card is— " M. Le Roy, 20, Old Civerlish-street." Bracurox, MoNnai--A circumstance has just oc curred here, which has caused a good deal of conversatioa in the fashionable and scandal-losing coteries of the town. Mrs. Forbes, or rather Mrs. Forrest (for that is the name she 4s now known by), the tamale friend and companion of the late Mr. Fauntleroy, has been living in a house on the New Steyne. On Saturday last, a solicitor, who occophs the house adjoining (No. 23), put up in his parlour win dow the following placard :—" Beware of the • house. N 0.24-, New S:eyne ;" and to-day the occupants of the latter have in then turn displayed one as follows:—" public are reqirested to suspend their opinion of the MlS mous placard exhibited in the window of No. 25, next door, as the writer will have to prove it in a Court of Jay lice." The New Sreyne has, in consequence, been the re sort of numerous gazers to-day, who are at a loss to dis cover the reason of the placards being continued, as it is understood that MN. F. had previously remond to al101he: residence on the first appearance of the notice, and that sou will in a day or two leave Brighton altogether. CUTLEltV.—Niessrs. Sansom and Sons. of this place, cutlers to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, have just executed an order, for a table service of cutlery, received a short time ago from their illustrious patron. The articles are placed on six trays covered and inlaid with crinisca velvet ; the whole of which are enclosed in a chest made of heart of oak, having his Itlyal fliOness's Yorkshire crest (the white rose, coronet, and garter) most beautifully carved on the lid, with carved wreaths of oak at each cud ' for handles. By his Royal Highness's commands, his Yorkshire crest is also moat exquisitely engraveri on the knife handles, and has a very noble and ornamental effect. From an inspection of the articles, we are induced to be lieve that they are among the finest specimens of taste and workmanship ever produced in this country.—Slei,ld Iris. Yesterday a Court of Di:-.'ctors was held at the East India House, when Captain Alexander Nairne was sworn into the command of the ship General Kyd, consigned ti Madras and China. 1
