Ann., AO THE SUN. BOLE 31 QUIPS intritc LIU Nt AU pEAT LONDON, THIMSDAS, JANUARY 14, 1813. Further. Varis Papers, to the 10thinst. reached town last night. The same system of dark allusion to the Army, without any direct or official. account, is still'kept up. An article from LeiNic, dated the 30th ult. states, that the army, which had suffered much from extreme cold, " Is posted behind the Nie men," and that this measure was necessary, on stecount of the impossibility of finding good winter quarters in Lithuania, We readilytelieve, .that whatever troops were left of the Grand Army found it utterly impossible to obtain Winter guar-, tees in Lithuania; but what becomes of the state-' means in the 29th Bulletin, respecting the corov• munication of the troops with Wilna, and of what lino is " the army" behind the NieMen emu posed ? Not a word is mentioned in these Papers of the state and condition of any of the corps which iormerly composed the Grand Army ; not a 'word of the number of troops which have thus • taken a position behind the Niemen; not a syllable of explanation of the causes why they did not go to \Vilna, or why they went so far from it; how hfoaA;r came to be separated from' the Army he commanded, or why he went to Konigsberg. Upon all these pointi, the most, mysterious si. hence is preserved. It Is said, on the authority of a private letter, that the Preach officers at Konigs berg, were actually prisoners of war on their pa ole. Whether this be so or not, we have no means of ascertaining, the Gottrnburgh mails not having yet arrived ; but we . should not be sur prized to find it a fact, and We think It , highly. -probable,. that " the army" behind the Niemen consists of little more.than Ithcooslatn's corps. :flad any remnants:of, the other corps, forming the main army that advanced into Russia, arrived in this position behind . the Nieinen, it is scarcely credible that Some exaggerated uecottnt of their state and condition, and fitness for service, would not have been given in the .Paris Journals. This studied silence evidently tends to prove, that all have been overwhelmed in one common destruc tion, or that the survivors onlyexist as prisoners : the sear and alarM, also, which are betrayed, strongly corroborate this supposition, Thus we „find it stated, in an article front Dautzie, that they have collected there 300 pieces of artillery ; 'that they are working night and day in the aralethiti and that the fortress is provi s ion e d for two years, Why is all this set find), if there is not an .appichension that Dantzle is about to be• besieged ? The measures resorted to in the Duchy of Warsaw spew also tlieir fears, and thus has this gigantic invasion terminated in anxious preparations for defence on the part of the in . 'cadets. A Nfeeting of the persons'interested in the build ing, equipment., or supplying of East India ships in the Port of London, was held yesterday at the City of London Tavern. They came to several Resolutions, stating the injury that, in their ()pi. nion, would result to their interests by opening the East India Triure to the out-ports, and the wimber of 'persons that would be thereby thrown out of employ, We readily admit, that injury may result to the interests of these gentleman, and of some of the persons they employ, by opening the trade ; hut, as we have beMre stated, the partial interests of the metropolis, however• important, can never be put in competition. with the general interests of the Empire ; neither can it be admitted, that 'because an immediate injury will be sustained by zc definite number of peAsons, in consequence of tipening the, trade, that rtl erefore that great ►and permanent benefit to the _commerce of the Empire, which just rea►►oning, a►►d the principles of sound policy, equally prove must be the result of that measure, ongbt not to be re'aliLed. VIC argument of injury to existing interests is one which may be urged against all great and com prehensive measures for the welfare of the Sutte but It can only be valid as m objection when the interests injured overbalance the amount of betie fit produced bythe propos ed measure.' In this use, however, the interests that may, be injured bear no- proportion to the immense advantage which must inevitably be de rived hunt opening the, trade ; inasmuch as a di minution of the'profits of ft certain number of the saertlant4 and ship-ownurA of Louitoa cannot be put in comparison with the vat increase of trade that will be derived to the great body of the merchants and manufacturers of the Empre. The opponents of the measure say, that the in jury is certaini andflie advantage problematical ; but to that we answe r , that . either an immense mivautage to the commerce of the country must accrue from opening tb trade to India, or else all those great principles upon which British commerce, in its general extent, has hitherto been carried on, and by the practice of - which it has so: happily flourished and increased, must be, when ati plied to the Trade to India, utterly fallacious and erroneous : a conclusion so absurd can never be achnitted, unless it is demonstrated by actual eN- pediment. I V HE Ktmo.—Considerable importance has been attached to the circumstance of the PatscE RE GENT'S journey to Windsor on Monday % as it was supposed to be in consequence of another pa rosySin of the KING, . The paragraph we inserted yesterds was copied from a Morning , Paper.— The facts, however, arc now stated to be these : —A communication was sent from the Prin cess CUARIAITTE of \VALI? on Sunday from Windsor to the P:RiNcE. REGENT, by one of her Royal • Highness's footmen, who arrived in town about half an hour past two o'clock. A hobby groom of the QuEEN'S was also went off from Windsor with dispatches to the PamcF., Who arrived in to,Vvn on the same afternoon at five o'clock ; there was no other communication to the PRINCE during that.day or night tram Wind sor ; but in fact, there is no importanet to be at tached to this mode of corresponding by the RoyA FAMILy, as there are but few days pass with out PUch a circumstance taking place. At a late hour on Sunday night, the I'4mi - cc REGENT sent to the Loao'CoANceLLort, :at his house in Bedford-square, commanding his Lordship's atten dance upon his Royal Highness early in the morn ing. The communication was made to his Lord— ship in bed, we believe, as he is an early man.— His Lordship was at Carlton-1100e the following morning by ten o'clock, and set oil with his Royal Highness the anise REGENT, at about .s quarter before eleven, in Iris travelling carriage, for Windsor. - The business they went upon, we have every reason to believe, was notany thing relative to the Ktso, but, quite of a contrary nature. The Commander of the forces in the Leeward Islands has received orders to send the 13th regi ment of the line front Martinique to North Ame rica. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the ,East India House, Whell Capt. C.W. BUTLIZA was sworn into the command of the William Pitt, destined to Madeira and Batavia, CITY OF LONDON TAVF,RN, JAW. 13. EAST INDIA AND CHINA SHIPPING. A numerous and respectable meeting of ship-. owners, ship-builders, and others connected with the East-India shipping in tits Port of London, took place this day, pursuant to advertisement, at the City of London Tavern, in order to agree upon the most efficient measures to be adopted, for the protection of their respective interests, in the discussion shortly ,expected to take place in Parliament, upon the subject of the renewal of the Charter of the East India Company. About one o'clock Sir Itonawr BVIGRAM stated to the Meeting, that Mr. Wells, who intended to have been present, and who would have been happy to have taken the chair, WAS prevented from attending by indisposition ) , be should therefore move, that. Charles Hampton Turner, Esq. should take the chair. Some Gentlemen hells culled to Sir R. Wigram to take the chair himself : this how-_ ever, Sir Robert declined, and Mr. Turner took, the chair accortlin4ly. The CHALRMAN 'briefly stated the object of the meeting to be, to take into consideration the inte rest;• of the, •Gentlemen concerned in, anti con nected with, the East India - shipping in the Port of London. Upon a subject, however, which had attracted so much attention, and had been',; so. generally the subject of discussion and converSa tion, he thought it unnecessary to expatiate at any length, and rather Wished to hear the senti ments of others,. should any Gentleman be in (lined to favour the meeting with hiS sentiments upon the present occasion. Enw,,an GBoaok BERNARD ) Esq. moved, and was seconded, that the following Resolutions' should he read, as expressive of the opittiose of the meeting.--( Te follow the Resolutions, for which see ihe Adetrtisentelt,) After the litesolutions bad been read, the CHAIRMAN observed, it would be more regular if the different Resolutions were read 'separately, and the sense of the mectim; taken upon each. This being acceded to, the different resoluGons were read by Mr. Teasdale, and each carried unani mously. Mr. AldCrlMlll ATKIN3 stated, that he was ex» tremely sorry to inform the meeting, that the sub scription set on foot last year had not produced more than 12001. of this sum, printing the dif ferent papers, and other unavoidable expence,, had absorbed 8001. so that there now remained a balance of only 4001. disposable by the Com mittee. Mr. BERNARD observed, that: the anbscription ought to be as . general:* s possible, on account of the great importance of the object: Letters were then read from Mr. Wells, 'excusing his absence on-thc score of indisposition' ; trona Mr. Abler Man Conahe; apologizing for his absence as being iniavOidable, but warmly concurring in the object of theMecting ;. from Sir James Shaw, who Wa 5 under the necessity of going to r hrist's Hospi tal, but stating, on bi s own intet,anclou that of Sir Win. Curtis, theiv,readiness to give every:support in their power to the object for:which the meet ing h;nl been called, awl from sir P. Sutton, Meniber for Surrey,. expreve of his desire to forward, by every means ,in hiS power„ the wishes of the meeting, in his place in Parliament.
