EAST INDIA HOUSE. MAT A general Court of Proprietees .r East India Ntock was this day held at the Company's Hesse inn Leadenhall-strut. for the purpose of these being loW before the Propeietesey in enafeetwity with the 4th sec. of the Ist chap. of By-Laws, a Draft of • proposed Bill Now before Parlament, entitled, " A Bill to amend and reduce iota one Act the several Laws relating so the manner in which the East balsa Company are required to hire Ships." The Minutes of the laat Coat hewing been read —sod sundry papers. presented to Parliament since the last meeting, having been laid on the table-- The Cliatallnle (John Postilion, Esq.) shortly stated the bean as fur which the present Assembly Ives convened. The Bill was then read at length by the clerk. 011 the now% " That the Court do approve of the said Bill," Mr. Hume inquired. whether the Bill was sanc tioned by the Casa of Directors, or was the mere unsupported production of the President of the Baird of Getout ? The Castilian said, the Bill. in its amended Mate. and with an alteration in the lest clause /which gave a certain remuneration to the owners of sat ships, that had been excluded from the Act of lest Session. is consequence of a technical in formality,) had received the sanction and appro. banal of the Coat of Directors. Mr. Hums stated, that he was extremely sorry to hear this exploitation. for the Bill appeared to him to be the most tramples sad unintelligible that was ever submitted to the thud if Commons— and this he conceived to bo the most eatraonli nary, as the question was a moat plain said simple nee. Ile thou proceeded to animadvert on the dile...sit clauses of the Bill, contending that the measure went to subvert, totally, the existing slapping-systeiti. A system which had been esta blished alter a struggle Or fifteen years—which had been sanctioned by the late Henry Donde& and improved of by the repeated resolutions of the 'Courts of Directors and Proprietors-vend from 'wliteli the Company had reaped incalculable advantages. It seemed that the President of the Board of Control hail, in the last Session of Parliament, pledged himself to bring (to ward a memoir far the consolidation mid amend ment of the Shipping Laws. Ile conceived lie had redeemed his pledge in. a very indifferent manner. Why was a Bill of such importance in. traduced at the very close of the Session. whoa it was impossible that the Proprietors could study it ? But. above all things, whets it was known that the Company hail to contend against all the private traders in the kingdom—when it was known that . they were paying ea per tailor earryiag goods. which the prate trader was enabled to m b:2 home for ia....why was not a Committee f to in. quire. generally, into the causes that led to such e • runless expender ? As there was nothing that celled for the immediate enactment of dint Bill. he hoped the Directors would base the farther proceed. logs. with respect to it, deferred till neat Session. Jr they would oat consent to that proposition, he should certainly move so amendment to the Resit. lutiou owe helms the Court. Rather doe such Bill should pass. he would consent that all the enintiag Showoff Laws should be done sway. aid that every t Bsonld be left to the discretion of Nor Court of Mr. Guth maid, be bed bum an humble mostro. 'Dent in establiabbig the tries of which the Hon. Proprietor woe so sedan es advocate—but, after as eaperieuce of SO yam s ho bad learned something which 'simian may ensid Maar. He bad learm. ed that, when on individual raGeseri into a cooked for 14 yeses at beet, intervening events of peace and war could net be calculated on, end, therefore, it was nee:emery to make some provision by which they might be met. On two occasions. at the peace of Amiens, and in 1815, the rate of stores did not fall to a peace price. The question at those pe riods was, " Shall we grant an additional allowance to the ship-owners. and thus secure the principle on which our shipping system is established—or shall we insist on their fulfilling their contracts, to the letter, and thus hazard the destrnction of the sys tem ?" It was a choice of two evils—and, in em bracing the former, he conceived the Company had acted wisely, for, in his opinion, it was decidedly the least. Whey the last application was made, the President of the Board of Control felt it to be a most delicate point to meddle with the established *contracts—and. io doing so, he pledged himself to introduce a measure to prevent the recurrence of such au application in future. The present Bill was brought in for that purpose--end he contended that, though it gave the power of granting an ad ditional allowance, under certain circumstances (namely, if after the termination of peace, the re newal of war, the conclusion of that war, and the return of peace spin, it should be found that the price of stores was ten per cent. higher than when a Contract was entered *min), yet that the Bill did not . by any mesas shake the established principle of baving l as far as possible, the peace-freight settled °ate fur at Mr. Eurnturrosa condemned the present sys tem. as a vicious ear, by which the Company had Bat, not gained . But, as be considered the prevent ill rather better than the two that had preceded it, ire would not oppose the measure. mr. Ga•wr believed the present system had saved the Company half a million of money since it was established. Mr. Fixate STOUR WM ready to contest that point with hi. Hon. Friend at any time. Mr. GRANT said, that the proof of its having sowed the ruin stated. was to be found in the Reports on their table. Mr. D. KillllAilD said, the manner in which the President of the Board of Control had re deemed his pledge was most extraordinary. The Bill was certainly more worthy of a writer of poetry then of a profound Statesman. To him, indeed, it was perfectly unintelligible. In that respect it was Ike the Bills generally passed its modern days, which requited to be explained, by new enartments, the Session after they were passed, and. after sill. they were obliged to have recourse to the lawyers to tell them what *US meant. lie looked upon this measure, so copious in its enactments, as giving the Com pany leave, whenever tiny thought proper, to alter Contracts solemnly entered into. As, he trusted, the Batik would be obliged shortly to resume cash ' psymonts, ham the stoppage of which lbe garish . ene to the price of materials bad utainly mints, there woo over, helm slat these mistimes would net be so frequent as they feniserly were, and that. there fore, the shipowners would have to excuse for can tos few additiostal allowaaces. At all events, there wee eo eiteuvostaatee which dieseaded the immedi ate passing Oasis tuessore—and, comequently, it might be postponed, till the neat Bossiest, without iscesweniesew Mr. Lo mean was friendly to granting a fair allow:awe to the slip-owners, by whom the Com pany had been greatly benefited—but at this late Period of the Session, a mowers of such import s's, ought net, Its conceived. to be pressed for ward. The Hee. Proprietor took this opportunity of condemning, 1.. very strong terms, the conduct of the Court of Directors, in lowering the rate of interest ma India bond.. in England, from 3 to 4 per cent. by which his father had lost 10,0001. while the interest in India was kept up at a war rate. This was rank—it smelt strong—it looked as if the Directors favoured their own immediate relative*, but were tounsiodful of the interest of the public at Farr. The consequence would be, that when war broke out egoist, nu permit, would lend them gooney. He could assure them, that from his family they . never should receive a farthing.— ( laugh./ Alderman Aeolus perfectly coincided in the justice and policy on which the principle of the Bill was founded, but thought if inquiry into the ',hipping system were still necessary. that the measure might be postponed till 'beet Session. Mr. Rostuaow said, the Bill had been maturely considered by the Court of Directors, mud lied re crivrd 'auction—it also slimmed to be favour ed by the great body of Proprietors. He could not, then, under these circumstances, see any ground for further delay. Mr. Howe then moved an amendment; con deutuatory of the Bill, as being opposed to the principle on which the existing shippitig-system was founded, and calling 0111 the Court of Directors to petitiati Parliament that it might not pass into* law, in the present Session, nor until a fell inqury had been instituted into the present state or the shipping-system. The amendment, on a phew of hands, was nega tived without u division. The origival motion was then carried in the affirmative. The Court then adjourned siee die. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. GERMAN PAPERS. NVIIIIIIBURO. 11 111. (Smeller insertion to N remberg Correrqesesdent.) Our readers will probably remember, that, in the year 11116, several articles appeared iu the va rious Papers on the Continent. which were copied into the English Journals, respecting Dr. Griffith,. and some othe► Englishmen. who were treated with much severity by she Vienna police ; it was, how ever, subsequently proved, by the itsterference of the British Ambassador at Vienna. that the Aera tions Goveniewut could not make these gentle men the smallest reproach of criminal conduct. Bud that the measures of which they complained, arose entirely from some unfortunate and false re presentations. Dr. Griffiths received passports to retorts to Vienna, to regulate his Ahura, and thus the whole matter ended. The Editor of the Unive►sal Gersten Gazette. in which the most calumnious articles spinal Dr. Griffiths appeared, wee called upon to give up his authority, and publicly to contradict the false state ment which ha had made in his Journal. Mr. &vic una°, however, to the surprise of all there who were acquainted with the affair, refused both. Dr. Grif fiths was obliged to bring an action for calumny against him before the Civil Tribunal, at Augsburg. Mr. Stegatauo, in reply, called in question the com petency of the Civil Tribunal to t►y him, because the Censure had allowed the imertion of the arti cles in question, and he was, consequently, amena ble to so other tribunal. The following preliminary decision of the Tri bunal at Augsburg will, however, 'hew, that not withstanding the el gig of an imprimatur, the most sound rights, and most valuable possession of so ciety, me nut abandoned to the will of the Editor of a newspaper it will evidently prove, to the honour of the Bavarian Courts of Justice, that they are open to the foreigner as well as the subject, when ever he feels himself insulted and attacked. The Tribunal decides that M. Stegmanu is hound to answer the complaint made against him, ■ud to pay all the costs hitherto incurred. The Tribunal declares the defence set up, viz That the Allgemeime Zeitsuog is subject to the Censure, to be inadmissible; because the Allgemeine Zeitung is merely a privileged private concern, not an official establishment guaranteed by the State, and the eCl3lOf it charged to attend only to such articles SO are contrary to the political maxims of state, and to the laws of morality, but I utirely to the Editor the responsibility for the truth or false hood of articles relative to private persons, &c. - A11.1030610, MAY 27. We are far from desiring to anticipate the filial decision of this affair, which is tor pending before the Tribunal; but we call positively assert, from the best authority, that Dr. Griffiths, was not even on the Contissent when the affair, in which, according to Mr. &crammer assertion, We was implicated (viz. the attempt to curry off young Napoleon), is said to have happened at Vienna. This absence from the place of the event was proved on oath before the tribunal at Augsburg, and can be farther at tested by hundreds of Englishmen at Bath and Loudon. among whom Dr. Griffiths was at that titne.—tjappletweer to she Nuremberg Correspon. drat, Nay Is.) PARIS PAPERS. IATAVIA (EAST INDIES), DEC. eo, 1517. The Viet-Admiral Buyskes has transmitted to the Governs-General of the Dutch Indies, a di.- patch, contr . l c a detail of the operations against the Insui gents of the Mulucca Islands. Alter having been detained by a continued calm opou the north-east coast of the Wood of Ce lebes, ~ S, the Vice-Admiral arrived ea the tat of September, with the Prince Frederick manor war, at the Isle of Ternote, where he found all trailed. Ile lilted out there souse vessels, fo► the purpose of re ducing the rebels of Amboyna, and others of the Moluccas, then iu a state of iusurrect ioo , and quitted the Isle of Ternate with this &tills for Anshan*, where he arrived on the 30th September. The Vice-Admiral went in person into the Island, to exercise there the sovereign power, and found it necessary to take ender his immediate direction all. the Nlolucca Islands, discharging the existing setborities that hitherto ruled there, as also the Commimioners who had repaired thither to take possession of the Island, and declared that their mission was at an end. As wee as the flotilla fitted out at Termite had arrived at Amboy's', the Vice• Admiral made the necessary preparations for a general attack upon the rebels, who, according to reports, were in the northern part of the Island, called Hitoe. This attack was fixed for the 16th of October. Three divisions of gun-bouts were formed, and the troops marched in two divisions against the rebels. However. before he engaged decidedly in ac tion, the Viceroy sent a second Proclamation to the inhabitants of the insurgent districts, requiring them to lay down their arms immediately, and to return to their homes. menacing with death those who should he deaf to th.s latter exhortation. He at the saute time promised those who should subtuit voluntarily, perfect safety for their persons and property. All the districts successively hoisted the white flag. The inhabitants were seen on every ride returning home ; and those who had come from Ceram. fled with the authors of the iu sarrection, rendering it unnecessary to employ force. These events left the Vice-Admiral, meat►- while, to act with effect against the rebels of Sapa rona, and of Nouna-Liivet. It is certain, that the forces lately sent to Amboyno, and which roust have arrived there, would be sufficient to restore tranquillity in all these Islands. The Commissaries-General have published an important Ordinance, relative to the Collie Plan tations. They say, that they are specially charged by his Majesty to protect the seine population against all arbitrary eueaserer, to ameliorate their condition, and secure to them the fruits of their labour. In one word, free from all constraint, and secure from seduction, they may fully conade in the protection of the Government of the Netherlands. A like Ordinance was published on the 7th of No. vember, at Sounabaye. WADRIS. MAT 7. We are Is, frost thinking that our diplousiitic discussions with the United States will lead to ■ rapture. It is possible that the businen will end in the voluntary cession of the Florida* ou our part. sad a pecuuiary iiidessnity on the port of the United States. Persons who pretend to be well inforswerl assert. that a negotiation has bevo °posed upon the subject.

We have received the Pari■ Papers of Tuesday last. The funeral of the Prinee de CONDE 1.1111 filed for that day. The Duke de Bouasow. his sou, was to attend it to St. Denis on foot. It is stated, under the head of Madrid, that a negotia tion is on foot for the cession of the Florida. by Spain to the United States. The 5 per Cent. Consols are 681 fr.—Bank Actions 1,540. We have already noticed the sweet and com mendable facility with which the Tressury Journals recently adopted the idea of an immediate dissolu tion of Perliament. Lord CAIITIARRAOH, when lately pressed by Mr. BROUGHAM and others, in the House of Commons, stiffly denied all knowledge of any such intention, and the Journals which seek to make themselves 'mishit in the eyes of his Lord ship, pledged themselves solemnly to the same effect. A new light, howeve►, has now broken in upou thew, and they du out now hesitate to fix the very dry for the disoolution. Tuestley week is the time which, wind and weather permitting, that event is likely to take piece. We are extremely happy to perceive from Sir ROBE&T Wit.aon's Address to the Electors of Southwark, that the galling Kliegbet chances of success in the ensuiog election seem to be no longer doubtful. He has offered himself as a Candidate, fur the honour of representing that ancient Borough, mud his reception by the Electors has been equally flattering to his (feline and honourable to their principles. Sir Roams? WIIAON has long led a large and interestiug spruce iu public observation, while in every relation, and under every circum stance, he has conciliated the admiration and esteem of his countrymen in general, even where a disparity of political feelings may have rinsed cavils *bout the motives to his conduct. A chivalrous spirit of enterprise, a frankness of character, and a high muse of honour, could not • ', fea of being *pprecisted by t genial - people; and we believe that there are few Buglisheseu, who, be tug acquainted with the distinguished metiers of Sir ItossaT WtLbOU, and the proud tertimooy borne to his achievements by foreign Potentates, ere not ashamed to leers, that the British Government alone appears either insensible to his merits, or ii prevented by some unworthy motives from *venting him those rewards to which military services have been usually entitled. to fact. Sir Roulet Wit.- son has been honoured by every powerful Prince iu Europe, escept his own Sovereign. He has been honoured by those who witnessed his conduct; and who may be premised to be tolerably good judges of merit; and with this fact before us. it is not eery difficult to determine whether the neglect of so die. tinguished as officer by the British Moister.. was more disgraceful to them or to him. it is not for us to divine the causes of this *Wine neglect oa the port of the Government of this country, but if indeed, as some will assert, it has resulted from the freedom with which Sir R. WiLson has given his opinions and observations to the world—because he has ventured to question the justice of certain principles now in favour at the Courts of Kings, and more peculiarly patronised by the British Cabinet —it speaks, upon the part of our ruler., • littleness of mind which would be merely emitemptible if it did not augur the most injurious results to the cha racter and welfare of the country. He may be now in some degree considered us appealing from the Cabinet to the people—from the party prejudices of a few individuals, to the justice of such a por tion of the nation as may be supposed to speak the general sentiments; and that his Judges may be the better enabled to appreciate his case, we beg leave to present the following simple enume ration of his recent services and honours, as it has been drawn up by a writer in The Ediburgh Re view : "Since the campaigns in Egypt and Polaud, be ►as served in the Peninsular war, wad in the memorable campaigns in Russia, Germany, and Italy, which lad to the overthrow of Bousparte's dyuasty. To the extraordinary promptitude and success with which be raised and disciplined the Leal tonics legion, all the civil and military authorities in Por. fugal have borne ample testiinommy. The formation of this teem and its pliant exploits under his command in Spain, laid the foundation of the important memento of arming the Portuguese, to which so much of the success in the war is justly ascribed. Of his movements with it in the field, the best account may be found its the intercepted dispatches of the Preach Commanders, who complain of its tweeting them wherever they marched, and always speak of it as much more numerous than it ever was.

By the documents which were gives is evidence at his trial for the affair of Lave Wes escape, it is evideut that so maa in the British army ever acquired higher rentswa, among the warriors of all nations, than this truly gallimat o®ce►. Lord Cathcart, our Ambassador with the Emperor Alexander, describes bim, i■ his dispatches in No vember um, as having been is every actioo, ' and having seen every remarkable occurrence.' And in November 1813, Maple says, that' it has bees the constant practice of the Major-General (Sir Robert Wilson), throughout this and the last campaign, to accompany every attack of conselneum that has taken place within his reach.'-- 0 On this occasion (adds his Lordship) be was with sae of the storming parties; and in adverting to this circumstance, it is but justice to this olScer to state, t►at the seal, activity, and intrepidity which he has displayed as every oceasioa, have conciliated fur him the esteem of all officers of every rank and nation who have heti witnesses of them, and have certainly done great credit to his Majesty's service.' In a subsequent letter, his Lordship acknowledges the signal services ree dited by Sir Robert in a political capacity; and ascribes, if we rightly understand the letter of January 1813, the failure of the negociatioss with the enemy in a great measure to his interposition. The following is the ac count gives by Sir Charles (own Lord) Stewart, in his dispatch to Lord C.asilernieb, of the manner is which the Emperor Alexander expressed his approbation of Sir Robert Wilson's services, in presence of the Allied Army:— ' 1 rode cwt in the suite of his Imperial Majesty, who went along the line, and was received with enthusiasm by the soldiers. The Emperor took a favourable moment, when he was survouuded by his General and Staff Officers in the front of the troops, to call Sir Robert Wilma to him, and to address to him a most flatteriog speech, in which his Im perial Majesty stated, that be appreciated his services, gal lantry and seal, throughout the whole war as they deserved ; that, ia testimony of which he had determined to confer on him the third else of the Order of St. George, and that he was desirous of doing it in the most gratifying nianner. lie them directed General Asigersuffsky to take his cross from his arch, and he delivered it to Sir Robert Wilson.' Lord Stewart then expresses, with the boaesty of a brave soldier, the pride he felt at easing a companion in arms thus deco rated in front of the Allied Army.' The Emperor, in a let ter written with kis own hand, some months afterwards, re ferred to this °melon in these words—' When I decorated you in the face of the army with the badge of St. George, I did jostle. to (be indefatigable seal which, during the ahule of the campaign, has constantly attac►ed you to the advaae. ed guards—to the brilliest valour sod devotion of which I have bees as eye-witness at the battle of Bautzen ; and, ▪ to Owenby other proofs of intrepidity, attested by all the brave warriors of the combined army.' Similar testi monies to his dietimmisished merit were borae by the King of Prussia and Emperor of Austria. The former Monarch, beside cooferring upon him his Order of time Red Eagle, granted the Cross of his Military Order of Merit to the Offi cers whom he rinronsemeaded. The latter gave him the Grand Crow of Maria Theresa, an Order of the highest distinction, and which has been kept invariably pure, being confined to cases of the ..at unquestionable services. Those services were Indeed aelmowledzed by all the Ministers and Corn. amenders in the campaign, awl especially by the Prince Metteruich and by Primer Schwartatimberg, who repeatedly expressed to the English Ambassador ' the obligations he lay soda to Sir N. Wilson fur the signal assistance rendered on many occasion., but must particularly at Leipsic, when he was so much indebted to him ter his able disposition of the Austrian cavalry, sad his whole castanet on that day'."
