TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, CONSIDERIN G the very extensive uature of the Canvass for a Seat in the East India Direction, and the shortness of period in which I have had an opportunity of entering upon that Canvass, and of becoming acquainted With the great and independent body of Proprietors of East India Stock, I feel no 'less gratified than encouraged by the cult of the Ballot on the 23d inst. I avail myself of this the earliest opportunity to return my 'incere Thanks to the numerous and kind Friends who came forivard in my favour on that occasion ; and at the same time gratefully to acknowledge the many flattering assurances I have received of that additional support on the next Vacancy, which previous engagements prevented my being honoured with at the last. Having already submitted to you the public grounds upon which I presented myself before you as a Candidate for the honourable sivation of an East India Director, it only remains for me now to renew my exertions to secure your confidence "rid your support, and to repeat my pledge of going to the Lallot on the first Vacancy. I have the honour to he, with great respect, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your most obedient and humble servant, ROBERT T. FARQUHAR. nrutcn-street, March 24, 1324. 4 4 • For an Article, signed " M.

By our Express from Paris, we learn that it will be impossible for a complete copy of the relict' King's Speech to reach as before a late F lour this evening. Our Paris Correspondent, however, assures us that this very importuut Royal Document is of the most pacific description. Et states, that HIS MOST CHRISTIAN MAJESTY maintains the most strict and sincere friendship with all his Allies, and that he hopes, with the favour of Divine Providence, to preserve for his dominions the blessing of Peace. It promises the recal of the Army from Spain as soon as the state of that country shall per- mit such a measure with safety to Spain herself ; and his MAJESTY further adds, that in every thi ng relating to this question he will go hand in hand with his Allies. By the same Express we have received the Eloile of yesterday, and Ga Messenger, from which we subjoin extracts :____ [From the Etoile of ziesterday.l The King heard mass in his apartments. An ordinance of the King appoints the Count St. Criq, Counsellor of State, on an extraordinary service, and President of the Bureau of Com merce and the Colonies. Th e King of Sardinia is to leave Turin on the 2 2d, for Genoa. The King of the Netherlands has appointed • Falek, as Ambassador to the Court of Great Britain. MADRID, AERCII 11.—Wo learn by the way of Mahon, that Admiral Buysch, who commands the squadron of the King of the Netherlands in tile Mediterranean, sent a brig to Algiers to de clare to the Dey that in virtue of the treaty of Alcala, he will unite his forces with those of Spain, to resist all attacks of the Algerine Corsairs. The Dey did not make any answer to this declaration. The Barbarians have at sea two large frigates, one corvette, one brig, and o►ne golletta.

[Extract of a Letter from Odessa, 25th ult.] " The solemn promise made by the Senate of Hydra to the European Consuls, to respect the Gulf of Smyrna, has produced a strong sensation here. Ti►e French Consul, who offered his inter vention to prevent an attack upon Smyrna, has received from the Ilydriot Senate a golden sword, v►glued at 100,000 piastres, bearing the inscrip tion, " Dieu et la _Poi." [Extract of a letter from. Perpignan, 13th Inst.] Au Algerine Corsair appeared a few days ago, off the heights of Cape Creus, and was seen there for two days ; all precaution was immediately adopted to protect our coast from a surprise. W e have received the Paris Papers of Sunday. The King of FRANCE was alarmed on Friday last, by a tiro which suddenly began in the apartments of th e G reat Almoner, and filled the Castle of the Tuileries and even the court before it with dense clouds of smoke. The iron gates were Closed, the guards took up arms, and it was pro bably imagined- that some attempt had been made to burn the King, who cannot easily be moved in his Palace. After a time, however, the fire was got under,and was thought to be completely extinguished, when half an hour after it broke out with greater violence than before. It was at last, however, entirely subdued, and it was as serted without having been attended with any loss of lives or even accidents. An individual who had written abusive words against the KING, on the snow in the Gardens of the Tuileries, tl►e Sunday before last, has been sentenced to six months imprisonment, and to pay a fine of 500 francs. CITY, Trcelvc o'Clock.—Consols opened at 94i, got up to 944+1 for the Account, and for Money 94 to 91 . -1. In the earlier part of the morning there was a good deal of business doing. —The New Insurance Company's Shares have again lowered this morning to 17, which is attri buted to a number of persons realizing who hold small quantities. There is not a doubt that the Charter for the above Company will soon be ob tained, and the Shares will become scarce. Most of the great holders, we understand, do not send any to the Market. ALIEN ACT.--It must give pleasure to every loyal and peaceable subject that Mr. PEEL has obtained leave to bring in a 13111 for the exten sion of this Act for two years longer. Those who know this Gentleman will admit that he is distinguished for humanity and the liberality of his character, and that he is incapable of resort ing to any measure that may appear harsh, ex cept when the safety of the Country is at stake. The state of the Continent renders it ne cessary to observe all mischievous characters who, when, driven from their own country, endeavour to procure an asylum here, which the Poet has too justly styled " The common sewer of Paris and of Rome," and that there are very many of such mischievous characters among us is obvious, and that more also are daily resorting here as a re fuge from the punishment which they were likely to suffer abroad. Such characters are not likely to relinquish their principles or to alter their conduct. It is, therefore, fit that a vigilant controul should be exercised over them. We find that the foreigner who was se nt out of the country for his frequent assaults on Prince ESTER HAZY has had the confidence to return to it.— Should any lenity be shewn to such a person, in open violation of our Laws ? Mr. PEEL with his characteristic humanity, has made a dis tinction in favour of those who came hither in consequence of misfortunes brought on them by feelings of genuine patriotism, and who would otherwise have fallen victims to a capricious and tyrannous Monarch, or who came for pur poses of honest industry. Such persons deserve protection, not only on account of their sufferings and their peaceable demeanour, but because, the latter, in particular, by their talents, may im prove our useful and ornamental arts. We perceive that the opposition, we had almost said the democratic, Journals, have thought proper to censure Mr. PEEL for this measure ; but every friend to the British Constitution and the tran quillity of the country, must applaud the patriotic vigilance with which he endeavours to guard against all danger, as much as they must admire his great talents, and revere the general excel lence of his character. THEATRICAL FRACAS.—There was a statement, under this title in a Morning Paper of yesterday, respecting a young Nobleman and a celebrated Songstress, which we are assured was false as well as malignant. The paper in question stated that the article came from 44 a Correspondent," and the Editor intimated that his Journal was open to a reply. But surely it was the duty of the Editor to be certain of the facts before he obliged the party against whom the charge was direct ed to come forward publicly in defence of himself against an anonymous assailant. We are acquainted with the young Nobleman, and, from all we have observed, he is wholly incapable of the conduct imputed to him. The Morning Post, a Paper that is always conducted upon just and liberal principles, contains this day the following paragraph, which we have no doubt places the affair in the true point of view : " Theatrical Fracas.—We are assured that a statement under this head, in a Paper of yesterday, has very little foundation. The facts are simply these :—A young Nobleman having paid some attention to a theatrical singer, was called upon fur an explanation, when he declared that his attachment was merely to the Lady's. voice. His attentions have been of the most polite and purely honourable description ; but finding them to be unpleasing to the relatives of the Lady, one of whom ad dressed him in the Green Room of the Theatre a few evenings since, he with the utmost urbanity took his final leave, as well of the Lady as of her friends." The KING (It will be seen by the official no tices) will hold a Lf.vee on Wednesday, the 7th of April ; and a Drawing Room on Thursday, the 29th of the same month. _ _ Yesterday afternoon, soon after four o'clock, the Duke of YORK left town in his travelling chariot and four, to dine with the KING. His Royal Highness transacted military business with Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, his Royal Highness's Military Secretary previous to his leaving town. The Royal Duke's intended Levee was put off iu consequence of his going to Windsor. CAPTAIN PARRY'S SECOND VOYAGE will be Published on SATCRDAY. THE KING. Wrignson, MARCH 23.—This afternoon, at half-past two o'clock, his MAJESTY, accompanied by the Marquis Conyr.g ham, left the Palace in his pony phaeton, for the Royal Lodge in the Great Park. His Majesty was followed by the Marquis of Graham, Lord St. Helen's, Lady Jane, Sir C. Paget, and several of his Majesty's Suite on horseback. It is expected that the Duke of Wellington and Marquis of Anglesea will leave the Castle to.morrow.—This evening (Tuesday) his Majesty will have a large party at dinner.— The company will consist of the Duke of York, Duke and Duchess of Clarence, Princess Augusta, and the distin guished visitors now at the Palace.—Last evening his Grace the Duke of Wellingt on, B aron F ag l e, M arqu i s of A ng l esey, Marquis Graham, Lord St. Ilelens, Lord and Lady Marybo_ rough, and Lady Ja ne an d Si r Ch ar l es P aget , arrive d at t h e Castle and dined with his Majesty.

SAINT PETERSBURGIC, FED. 24.—0 n Thursday last, the • 19th inst., the marriage ceremony of his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke MICHAEL, with her Royal Highness the Princess HELENA of Wirtemberg, was celebrated with extraordinary pomp and splendour in this capital. At an early hour in the morning the discharge of five large pieces of ordnance awakened the Inhabitants to the honours of the day. At 11 o'clock the superior members of the Hierarchy, the Court Dignitaries, of t h h i e n u ( s - I t a r r i o ri t s; on,. ( a w s i s i e o m o b n l s a t o c t c l a i the wore a rich crown upon her head , as well as a superb inte - w scar let cloak trimmed with ermine) came for w ard fr om h er apart ments,Pace. After her Imperial Majesty, the Empress Maria, accompanied by the whole of the Grand Princes, repaired to his Majesty the Emperor. In a short time the whole of the illustrious com pany proceeded to th e Court-chapel, whe the marriage ceremony wasperformed according to the ritual of the Greek Church. The loud roar of 101 guns announced to the metropolis the solemniza tion of the august marriage. The ceremony being over, their Majesties the Empresses received the gratulatiens of the no bility, &c., and again repaired to the apartments of the Em peror. In the afternoon there was a grand dinner in the marble saloon of the Winter Palace, to which, exclusive of all the Members of the Imperial House, were invited the three first Grades of the empire—that is to say, the privileged nobility, Lieutenant-General in the Army, and the Civil Class, as low down as Privy Counsellors. all who had attained In the evening there was a grand dress ball, where the bril liancy that reigned may be much better conceived than tie there scribed. For three days was an almost incessant ringing the rank o f of bells ; and in the evenings of those days the whole of the city was most splendidly il luminated. On Saturday, the 21st, their Imperial Highnesses the Grand Duke Michael and his Consort held a Court for receiving the felicitations of the nobility. The scene that now presented itself was one of the most daz zling and imposing ever beheld in the capital of the Czars._ The distinguished visitants were subdivided into twelve dis tinct orders, or classes, viz:_lst.The superior Members of the Russian Hierarchy ; 2d. the Counsellors of State of the Empire ; 3d. the Members of the Directing Senate; 4th. the Officers of the Staff of the Guards and the Army ; sth. the Grand Dignitaries of the ; fth. the Court Functiona ries ; 7th. the Imperial Secretarie s of State, accompanied by the State -Secretary of Poland; Bth. the High Chamber lains, the Chamberlains, and other distinguished persons ; 9th. the Members of the Corps Diplomatique and their Ladies; 10th. the Queens of Imiretta and AI ingrelia ; Ilth. the Ladies of State, the Ladies of Honour, and other Ladies of distinc tion ; and finally, 12th. the Princesses of Georgia. Brilliant as were some of the Court Galas in the days of Catherine the Second, those who are competent to judge, declare they never recollect any thing more magnificent and imposing than what has been witnessed on the occasion of the present nuptials in the Imperial family. The happy event has been announcA l , to all parts of the Russian Lmpire, by a short, though pithy proclamation. .5.„% fr !sr ) 9 0,, — e -r -. ) A e p 3.4 • , r ',. • ' „ k w A • r ) 3 ,X rdils i to > ' OV C-f - • k kse '44,41 IMPROMPTU.

ELECTION OF AN EAST INDIA DIRECTOR.— Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India House, for the election of a Director, in the room of Sir THOMAS REID, Bart., deceased. At six o'clock the glasses were closed and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the election to have fallen on JoSIN PETTY MUsPRATT, Esq. The Gazette of last night contains, among other Military Promotions, a list of the Officers appointed to three more new regiments of In fantry, namely, the 97th, 98th, and 99th.

Captain CHARLES Fox, eldest son of Lord HOLLAND, is appointed Aid-de-camp to Sir FRE DERICK. AnAm, Bart., successor to the late Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, in the lonian Islands. Ta..koicAr. EVENT.—The _Mode of Sunday contains the following account of a fatal event which has just occurred near Paris :—" Two families have recently been plunged into consternation. M. de * * *, whose parents are in affluence, and who had himself a fortune of 10,000 francs a year, fell in love a year ago with Mademoiselle Brecourt, a figurante of the Royal Academy of Music. "lie vigilance of her mother, however, for some time obstructed die views of the young man, who was waiting for an opportunity of carrying off' the Lady. The mother having been apprised of his intentions, applied to the Police for assistance, who arrested Mademoiselle Brecourt at Bourg la Reine, when only half a league from M. de * * 4 `, who had appointed to meet her. Some time after wards, however, M. * * • succeeded in eloping with Made moiselle Brecourt to Bourdeux ; on their arrival in that town he bought her diamonds and other expensive articles, and, in short, was so extravagant, that at the end of a few months he was destitute.—lle then wrote to a rich aunt at Paris to solicit assistance, which she promised, upon condition of his aban doning his connection with Mademoiselle Brecourt. To this, by the urgent intreaties of the young lady herself, lie agreed, and they set out together on the 10th instant for Paris, where it was proposed that they should separate. On arriving, how ever, at an inn near Paris, the idea of separation caused them such violent despair, that they resolved to put an end to their existence, and for this purpose put a quantity of lighted char coal (a common mode of suicide in France) into the room where they slept, and in the morning they were found suffocated." THE ARMY. The Field Exercise and Evolutions of the Army as revised by Major-General Sir HENRY To►tiExs, K.C.B. and K.T.S. Adjutant-General to the Forces, which are now directed by the COMMAND N-CIII EF, by the Ccntmands of his MAJESTY, to be promulgated for the use and guidance of the Army, are prefaced as follows : " Thirty-three years have elapsed since the late General Sir David Dundas conferred upon the country the essential benefit of introducing a system of Tactics, calculated to combine and unite the Field Movements of the Forces, and the fundamental principles laid down by the distinguished Veteran, must ever form the basis of subsequent systems and ensure to his memory • the lasting gratitude of the British Army. " Improvements, however, have been suggested, by prac tical experience, during the late eventful war ; which, al though important and essential in the abstract, were partially adopted, without adherence to any general or fixed principle of formation. The result was a practice at once desultory and disunited, and the advantages to he derived from these improvements were liable to become nugatory by the revival of that discordant variety of system, with its consequent evils, which had called forth the labours of Sir David Dundas ; and to the remedy of which the science and accuracy of that emi nent Officer had been so successfully applied. " Under these circumstances it was deemed necessary by the Commander-in-Chief, to take advantage of a period of peace for re-establishing uniformity, by prescribing to the Army a regulated system ; which, while it rests on the leading prin ciples introduced by Sir David Dundas, shall combine the ad ditional formations, with increased celerity in the mode of executing all movements, which have been partially practised for the last few years, at the uncertain discretion of Command ing Officers : and for the attainment of this desirable object, the attention of his Royal Highness has been given, to what appeared to him best calculated to unite simplicity with utility and precision with celerity. " The execution of this task having, at the same time, been intrusted to me, as belonging to the situation in which the King has been pleased to place me, I have proceeded in my humble endeavours to fulfil the important duty so assigned tome, under the gracious protection of his Majesty, and the auspices and instruction of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief. —Thus encouraged and supported in the prosecution of my labours, the following Revision of the General Regulations for Field Exercise and Movement has been prepared ; and having been confirmed by practice, submitted by the Commander-in- Chief to the King, and finally approved by his Majesty, is now promulgated for the use and guidance of the Army.
