The coolness which subsisted between the Mi nisters of the rtate and the Russian Envoy, hiving become serious, the latter, by order of his So vereign, transmitted a Note to the Sublime Porte by the pets Effendi, itt which he says, that as the alte rktion in the disposition of the Porte must proceed from a groundless mistrust, and an unjust sus picion, which it may have conceives(, that the military dispositions made by Russia, for her own security, were directed against the Note, he again declared, most solemnly, by order of his t•Coud, that His Imperial Majesty had never enter tained any such intentions, and that he pledged him self anew to fulfil all the articles of the treaty of waity which bad jest been concluded with the Porte, PM their Canso extent ; and to give the most con vincing proofs of the purity of its sentiments, and the probity of its intentions, the Court of Russia had detei mined to remove every objet that might enviable of again exciting the suspicions of the !eerie ' y withdrawing every corps which it had un if:- t-antiers of Turkey, in the Crimea. tvloldavia, and W..llachia, and that it had already given the oecesotry orders for that purpose. The Porte has replied to this note, that all its wishes were confined to the presetvati,n of its neu trality ; that it else pledged itself to fulfil the treaty which had recently been concluded ; and in proof of its pacific views, it should immediately counter mand all the military dispositions which it had Made, with the exception of those which were di rated against the rebels in Servia.

A very numerous Meeting of the Court of Pro prietors and Direftors s of the East India Compally, wrs this day held at twelve o'clock, pursuant to notice. Toe lion. WILLIAM 1 1 ..LPHINSTONE, Chairman. In the early part of the day, some con !ion took place, on the subjeEt of altering a certain Bye- Law, tor the purpose of restraining the Dire lors from voting certain sums, without the concurrence of the General Court of Proprietors ; this proposi6 tion WAS, howevei,negatived. The Report of the Committee of Shipping, re commending the taking up two ships for the Com pany's service, one of 1,200, and the other of 900 tons, being read, it was moved, That the Ist Sec. of the t3th Chap. of the Bye Laws be suspended, in order to enable the Company to build two ships." The Hon. CH AI NM Al 4 expressed his opinion, that this was not the time for making such an experi ment, and wished it should be deferred till about Christmas. Mr. Atkins, Alderman Prinsep, Mr. Draining, and Mr. Wilrnore, approved of the measure, as highly beneficial to the interests of the Company. gr. Peens Wont thought it a question of great importance; locking to the situation of the officers of the Britannia and Sir Edward Heghts, who were as meritorious officers as any in the service, he considered that motives of humanity fer the first, who had lost their all in the service, and of justice, in the other, should induce the Court to adopt this measure ; and he was satisfied that when they came to consider it, they would be inclined to put it into immediate execution. After a few observations from Mr. Atkins and Sir Robert Wigram, in suppora of the measure, and the Chairman against it, the question was carried without a division. INDIA PAPERS. The order of the day for the prodation of Letters and Pipers, relating to the cotres rmnclence between the Court of Dire:tors, the Board of Controul, and the Resident Government in India, on the subjeCl of the late Wars in that country. being read, Mr. I - mast-ors rose, and called the attention of the Court to this subjs.& which had so lately been agitated in the House of Commons. He hid paid particular attention to those papers, and he hoped and trusted, that the Court of Proprietors would b, unanimous in rain e• i:iig their approbation of the conduCt of the Court of Direliors upon this subj-fit. From these papers, it NA.iil appear, that a practice hid prevailed, of withhold:, g from the l)ireifors, letters from the Indian Chiefs, after they had been sent home to thp -cret Committee. In these pa pers. it wil be found, that the Direflors had made a manly .nd firm stand against such a praetice. A censure had been passed upon the Court of Direa ors, and it was necessary the Proprietors should de dire their sentiments of the persons they had en trusted so great a charge -to; and, as some persons had not vet rased the papers, it was his intention to move, in the first instance, that they should print.-1 ; and then for a day next week, to take them i•i:st consideration, and to express their thanks to the Court of Dneftors, for their appointment of nrarquis Cornwallis to the government of India. S. Gsuace AAAAA conodered that Govern ment should carry into effect the commands of the Court of Direttors; but ever since His Majesty's Ministers took an alive part in the affairs of the Company, arcotiding to their interference, so had their misfortunts increased: and, therefore, he trusted, the Dingoes would fed the highest tatii• faehon in the aoprobalion of the Proprietors. Al..erman Palssze highly approved of the pro position of his Hononrahle Friend, but very much suspected, that they mast have a more copious view of the subjea, than those papers could give them. Great care, attention, and cautionohould be used, before they passed any censure upon any person having the supreme command in India; and it was but mere justice to the Court, and to those impli cated in the criminality ; he therefore wished suf ficient time should be allowed for the consideration of this question ; and although the produCtion of those papers had been refused in another place, he would give the C urt of Direeors all the assistance in his power to arrive at the truth of these fait, and would support them in every measure they should be inclined to adopt ; but in order to give it effea.. they must have full time and information up n the suhjea. Mr. Joismsrcut said, it was entirely foreign from his purpose to express any disapprobation on the concina tit Marquis Wellesley, but to declare his ap probation of the conduct of the Court of Direa:trs upon that occasion. It they thought the Court of Directors had discharged their duty, then delLacy for 'Marquis Wellesley should met prevent them f r om expressing such approbation, and suppmtirg their rights against the evils and misfortuaes they now labour under. - Alierrnaa Paiwsts &stip observed. that the,y at - onld not pass an uquahfied censure against Mar quis Wellesley, upon mere ex pm,* evidence; all that had passed had not satisned his mind ; and as he desired was, that the correspondence of Marquis Wellesley should be laid fully before the public and without any communication we:h the Nobbe Marquis. or any of his connexions, he would wait on him to-morrow, and bring him the list of papers he wished the Noble Lord to furnish him with. is consequence of an observation from Grain Seely, Alderman Palmate replied. that if the Hon. Ge-atleman hail taken the trouble to read those pa pers, he woold find a dire& censure on the measures of Nfarqufs Vl' e n es i e y, Mr. Laawstoes thought, that notwithstanding the manner this motion was brought fornard, he could discover the sting in the wasp's tai,; the Hoo. Gentleman had moved for papers. as another Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Moore) on a former dote, having passed a general philippic upon the conduct of cer tain individuals, moved for papers also upon that very topic ; could it then be said, that while a eel , tais Noble Lard was now no his trial, and while the newspapers were prevented from printing one sing's iota resnerting that trial, and after the Kilt brought int , . 'lament by SerjeAnt Bcct, an-ther Was to be con ae; used without any trial at all Culp*" As..&e V.:: curFts.d to bear what had ••••:•••••••••11 1 • 1 . - fallen from an 11.1 n.

The CHAIRMAN WAS Sorry to heir such an ex res-ion fall from the if4n. Proprietor, mod 0111. sijered himself to blame in not calling him to iirJer. The paper :diluted to was a document the Court of Directors, who were inea ra ,h. „ t • a sentiment which could give rise to sueli ration. Colonel Att.tN declared he did not mean any di.- respect to that Body. Sir FRANCIS BARINN observed, that this letter had made much noise, and he :diked how the Ditec tors would stand, if spelt a discussion as the present should continue ; he therefore thought they should be either silent, proceed, or reject the question is foie. Colonel Svm ts adverted to the proceeding:of the Court, on the vote for 40,0001. to the representative of the late Marquis Cornmallis.—lt was them stated, that the Company were alrw , st ins state of bankruptcy, and this misrepresentation had knocked down, in 24. hours, the India stock from ititri. to 1791. by which a lois was strstatined by the Company of 00,0001. Mr. Gassr contended, that the depression r.r India Stock was occasioned by other causes, anj that the Company bad nut lent any thing by it. He wished, at the same time, that the busine s s should receive a fair dsaussion. Mr. Perna Moose., in st nog terms condemned the reflections of the gentleman who had spoken on toe } :trier side. He, men went into various observa tions on the affairs of India, but particularly ad verted to those of she Carnistic, and the ignorance• in which the Company was kept upon that subject. Having animadverted with much severity on the in terference of the Board of Controul. he concluded by supporting the original motion. After a few observations from the Chairman, Mr. Twining, and Mr. Lowndes, Mr. John ston moved for 'env fusther papers, which were agreed to. He then observed, that in moving for these documents, he wished expressly to be understood not to make Any allusions what ever to the coudu, of Nlarquis Wellesley, only so far as it was conceaneil is evressing their thanks m the Court of Diredtors. The Motion was then carried without a division, and the papers ordered to be printed, and taken into consideratioo upon this day fortnight, until which time the Court adjourned.
