A Quarterly Court of Proprietors yetterdßy held at the Eat India ,l-louse. . .After the usual forms, the Chairman (the Hon. WILLIAtrt ELPH MST ONE) rose, and acquainted the Court, that the Diredorshad, on the z7ih of _June last, come to theitesolution of recommending to the General Court to cincur with them in permitting Mr. JAMES FIENItY CASSAMAIJOR to return to Ma. Bras with his Rank in the Company's Civil Service; and the Chairman also stating, that the Ad of Par. liament required that the same should pass by way of Ballot, in consequence of Mr. CMSAMAI JOIL's having been absent from India above five years, it was agreed that a Ballot should be taken on the question on the sth of next month. • A Letter, written by the Chairman and Deputy to Lord CASTLEREAGH, was then read, requesting the sanelion of His Majesty's Ministers to such mea. sures as might,authorise the Court of Direaors in paying the Tax on the Profits of the Company out of their ordinary outgoings, without &dueling the .same from the Dividends to the Proprietors of East India Stock. Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Reply to the above Letter Was also read in which his Lordship stated it as his own and Mr. PITT'S opinion, that it could not be done without an express MI of Parliament lor the purpose and hinted at the impropriety of urging such a question at so critical a moment. The CHAt '4)og then observed, that he was sorry to inform the Pouri of .the renewal of Hostilities in India with the -Mahratta Chief HOLKAR ; but it 'was with pleasure he could assure them, that there did not appear any probability of its being of long duration. A Letter from the Governor of Bombay, dated in May last, which contained the only intelligence received ;I the Direttors on the subjetl, was then read. This Letter stated very little mire than what has been already before the Public through private channels, that in consequence of the encroachments Of HOLKAR, the Governor. General had thought preper to order hostilities to be commenced against this Chieftain. The particular arts of aggression were not mentioned, as nu dire& Dispatches on the sulieet had been received from Bengal, the commu. nication having been made from General NS' s Lt. ES LIV. Orders had been issued for the British Troops immediately to penetrate into the Province of Mala. bar and General Wat.t.Est.er was about to depart from Bombay immediately, to resume his situation above the Gimps. Tle CHAIRMAN then called the attention of the Court to the remuneration latriy granted by the Court of Directors to the Captains and Crews of the China ships who to gloriously signalized themselves againat LINO'S. _ The Unanimous Resolution% of the 'Court of Di. reflors ,vere accordingly mad ; in which the Court' s Thanksfor their gallant c'ondutt were handsomely express►d, with the remuneration granted to the Comma , ders, Officers, and Seamen, fur their services on the iccasinn. TheCHAIRMAN then paid the highest compli. ments 'o the several Commanders and Crews, for not only Mending themselves, but even paling tojfight a Fleet of fighting Ships, purposely sent to bring them captive into a French Port ; and after a very able speech, in which' e stated he was convinced dist the hoprietors would not think the Direetors had gone too far in remunerating the services tat those gallant Heroes, who were resolved to conquer or die to defending their Property, he conclueled by oh se r v in: that, in consequence of Capt. Sir. NATII. DANC.'S ill health, that Gentleman was not able to take alvantage of a favourable voyage which the Court if thredors had complimented bum wiqi,,and it was therefore the intention of the Direetors, as rosin ;hey should meet again, to grant a Pension of 3001. per annum to this gallant Officer for his long and acritorious services in the Company's service, which he so nobly wound up by his unrivalled vic. tory over LI Noss ; and stating, that he felt peace - L. ly cnnfident, !hat when, at a future time, he should have the pleasure of laying such a Resolution before theaSeneral Court, the Direttors would receive their entire approbation. Mr. Rocx then rose, and oLerved, that though he 6.as decidedly of opinion that the remuneration grinted by the Directors was well merited, yet he wished to know, , how the Court of Directors con. sidered themselves authorized to give away 50 or 6c,0001. To which the CHAtitIAAN replied its the mast satisfa6ory manner. On the rise of the Court, Sir FRANCIS BARI kr; begged leave to call the attention of the Court for a few Moments to the situation of Captain l's M I Ns, situ had like Witte been complinicnted by the Three. tuts with a favourable voyage ; and observed, that the sante necessity compelled him to resign the voyage ; and Sir FRANCIS concluded by observing, that he hoped the Court would also cunsider Capt. Tim t Ns in consequence. No curthek business uttering, the AIRMAN de. dared it to be a Quarterly Court, summoned in put. stance of the Conipany's Charter, and moved the question of Adjourothent. A Court of Directors was yesterday held at the India House', which adjourned, at six o'clock, till Wednesday next. Authors are very apt to mistake a rapid and ex. tensive sale of their works for a public acknowledg. ment of their talents, when such encouragement may arise solely from some little temporary circum. stance coinciding with their subjed, If Sir Ro. Beat WI is i oN's Book -on Egypt had nut been abused by 130NAPARtg, and been made the sialbjed of a public complaint, Sir ROBILAT AVILSON'S Book, among so many better on the same subject, would scarcely have been known, for its real merits are very humble, equally as to the language (which offends both in grammar and orthography in every page) and the information it contains. Three editions of his book, however, made him fancy himself equal to the tank of undertaking another, which, for many reasons, he had better have let alone; the little stock of reputation acquired by the former, the latter is well calculated to annul ; and as to the drift of his book, it is not easy to see ; but if it be such as the Editor of the•Alormtv Chronicle has kindly undertaken to explain for him, we have no hesitation in saying, it dues him'very, little credit. . 7 - i WirAtave been favoured with the Conniving Ex tratt of, a Lerterfrdm a Sr. Domingo Plint fluty residing at ailtimnie, Aug " By a Vessel which left the Cape fifteen (Ws • ago, I have received intottnatioe, that an agree ment had been entered into betweer. DEssmANes and the Commander of the' French Troopiin the Spanish part of St. Domingo, according to Which, the latter, if he shall receive no reinforcerneet's in the meantime, is to evacuate the Island on or ls'efore the first of November next. The ArMy of the Blacks is, in the mean time, to continue in those positions which it occupied when the agreement Was signed. No battle had been previously fought be tween the contending patties; but daily skirmishes, with various success, had taken place between the advanced posts. DEiSALINPA had establisheda - Constitutional Committee, which' sits at the Cape, consisting of eleven Members, of whoM two-are White, three Mulattoes, and six Blacks, It said, that they have digested a Constitutional Code., Which will he proclaimed as soon as 'the whole Island is in the power of the Blacks. According to it, the future. form of Government of the Republic of Hayti will be organised. Report says, that DcsSALINE3 will be declared the Sovereign Inca for life, and, that his children will succeed him in this dignity, which is made hereditary in his 611)4. A Senate, a Tri. bunal, a Legislative B:ely, and a Council of - State, will be established at St. Domingo ; the Consti. tution of which, with very few variations, is nearly the same as that adopted in France. Should the POPE consent to the proposals I)ESSAI.INES intends to make, the Roman Catholic Religion will be the Religion of State in the Republic of Hayti. The American Ship Eliza&qh, Capr. TURNER, has been hired by DessAnmvs, and is to carry to the Pore a Deputation, or rather an Embassy, at the head of which is FKANCOII R 1 JOU, a }Lack, educated at Nantes, and one of DessAAIN Ps') favourite Privy Councillors.—Their business' is, to propose a Con. cordite, and to demand some Cardinale or Prelates to advise in regulating the 44'11 of Religion, and to assist in the ceremony of the inauguration of Des. SALINvs as Supreme Inca, which, according to re. rOrt, Will take place on the'first of next January. CrißtsT ?HE, and five other Black Generals, are appointed Field Marshals, and have etch received three valuable plantations, to keep up theitnew rank with lustre. A certain notoher of cultivators have been assigned over to them, as labourers, to wotk their lands, which Cittlie:l a rruattfntary mutiny among the Negroes in Gartisno at Port ass Prig Ce in the beginning of July, where General PRTION, the Commander of Dessis:Astes's Gudes, restored order, arid sent away, tinder eA-orr, to the dif ferent plantation.; the Nigro esil6VatOri. All perscns lately arrived from St. Domingo agree in their statements, that the greatest anarchy, not. withstanding DEsSALINEj'i revolutionary tyranny and institutions, continues to desolate that Island, where most of the plantations that have escaped the Oury of Civil Wars, remain uncultivated, or only cultivated to such a small degree as to produce a temporary fitsh3istence for their (ern. purary occupiers. DESSALINES having deduced all plantations belonging to people of 'White colour, national property, with which he rewards his Generals, favourites, and Members'of hie Legion o f Honour, a new lease or purchase is necessary even fur those Black Propieturs who, before, :per fag or oefar, have gut posties4ion of them. Some examples of severity have made the trade of the Americans of St. Domingo of late mote safe, par. ticularly at the Cape, to which DESSALINES has in. vited Mr. Duren, the late American Consul; to return, promising nut only protection, LASE guards of honour and safety. No business is, however, done but for ready money, or by exchange, mostly by the latter, as money has become very scarce. I have heard that DessmoNes has sent Agents both to Philadelphia and Jamaica, with proposals of-settling Commercial Treaties, but with what success I do not know. Several British Officers of the Navy have, however, lately vkited DessAnners in his C a mp, and have been received with great distinc tion ; but it is supposed that their presence was merely desired by the Block Chieftain to engage the English Cruizers to intercept any succours which the French or Spaniards should send from Cuba to their countrymen, blockaded by him in the City of St. Domingo. The Negroes -say, that he -intends to dispatch Clittiviot HE to England as his Minis. ter, and that he has demanded a passage for him on heard some British Man el War, which caused t h e se Conferences. Mr. Bak KY', of Boston, who left the Cape on the 21 of July, says, .that the Ne. gene s hope much from their Negotiations with the . English, though, at the same time, they do not be. have with mote justice, or shew more regard to. British Traders, than to those of other Coun. tries. lie says, that nothing is more ridiculous than the puerile vanity_ of those NegrOes whom Dessat.ixes has made ,Members of his Legion of Honour, They wear their stars upon a red and white ribband round their necks, even when naked, or with no other covering out a coloured shirt. Upon the star is an enamel urn, surrounded with wreaths of laurel, with these words...." Tovss f ao NT ASSASSINATED a BoNAPARTE," and under it, " Ws SWEAR VENGEANCE." The star is of a larger size, and of gutd, for the Grand Officers and Commanders; but of silver gilt for the Legionaries. They are the workmanship of four French jewellers, whose lives have been spared on that account. What, finally, will become of this Negro Empire is impossible to conjedure in the mean time, all European Powers possessing Colonies in the West lediet, have to dread alike its prosperity or its de. struttion." . . . We sttpinot, that when this Letter was written, BoNAPAHTE 4 S Imperial Dignity was unknown to De eatt.4 es, otherwise du% Usurper, in,tead of the title cat an Inca, would, no doubt, have proclaimed himself DASSAI,JOES I, Emperor of the Kaplan' ; but asbis inauguration has not yet taken place, there 4$ still rime enough, and, in Iliadic has more right to this title aninng his Countrymen, than theCoroi. can .BoXAPARTS has to that of an Emperor of the 1 , tench.

The first case allot came before the Couit Indiament against John 11 1 ‘ Fee, Arch. Ramsey, Archibald Af'Dongall, Roderick v,• CeithariPie . Campbell, Ann Campbell, and Alexander 41.1',K.,reoch, or,Darroch, all residing upon the estate of Archi. bald Campbell, Eqi. proprinor of the Wand of Jura, accused of committing, depredations upon the• cargo of a vessel from .the..

Archthatil iVPDougall, Roderick Shits, Catharine Campbei:, and Ann Campbell, w.ere ,)utlawed for not appear ing, and the trial proceeded . as.to the other three. The evidence was surnmcd up on the part of the Crown by Mr. avVID &V LE, Advocate.l)cpute, and on'the rift of the Pannels by Mr. Rotale-, CAt.fritELL. Advocate; and Lord CUL . LiitZ having charged the Jury, they were, inclosed at eight o'clock in.the evening. Next morning a vertlid was re:. 'turned, finding the Libelers/ /wog)," against Archi. bald Ramsay, and Alexander MeKreuch, -or Dar:. roch, nor against JohnlVlTee, the Oglefrannel l a far as regarded itiv.abstrading any part of the cargo; but finding it proven, that he behaved in a very improper manner to the Master of the ves sel, when endeavouring to protect the property of his owners. The Court found, that. the verclia was conceived. in such terms, respeCling 111(Fre, as not to th r Pannel guilty of any of the crimes charged .in the' Libel, and that therefore no punishment could follow upon it. The whole three were therefore assoilltied sirkphriter, and dismissed from thr Bar. Twu circumstances occurrei that tended toSiro , , t, duce this result of the triid one was, that four of the witnesses,' whose evidence was very materiali did not give obedience to rlicsitations that had been giveh them for at tending as wittieses ; a nd t he Court, after taking proper ortice of so great a dig.. regard ro the justice and.Pulice i,l the country, iru., posed the ordinary fine upon thetn,and recommend.. ed to the Advocate Depute to inquire into the cause of their absence. -Thc other was, that two of the Sheriff's Officers, to whuse charge the 4ist . .. nestles had been committed, did, in the course Of the proceedings, set at large eight of the...witalesses foi the Crown, who could dot therefore be exdminid. The two Sheriff'd'Officer,s . were imtnediately coin. mitred to prison ; and by a •precognition • taken by the Sheriff of the County next nwning, : it aßpearedi that one of the Officers .W been otherways.pccu. pied- at. the time' the citeurnetance 114/7"ed, aria that the other Officer, having been intoxicated at like time, had ordered all the Witnesses out of the apartment in which- they had been inclosed. He was therefore ordered eight days imprisonment, .and the Sheriff' was instructed not to put himon duty pn any other occasion of the like kind. , The Court next proceeded ,to the trial of. DRIAMIN AP Arthur, son of Ntel•M'Arthur, residing at. Dail, in the parish 'of 1. -, uth, Knapslaiff, and counfy. of Argyle, who was accuses! of the inur,ler Of Eliza. Beth IVPKinnon (his wit': ), in the ut,mtla of 00ober last. The dead Is;ady had been .f.aund in the morns ing after the murder, lying own the banks of the Crinan Canal, with the feet in -tbe canal, and it was supposed the murder had been perpetrated by stran. gulation on the evening preceding, as the deceased was on her way to the village at latmhgilphead, to;- companies' by her husband, • After a very long trial, the evidence on the part of the Crown was summed up by the Advocate- Depute ; and by Mr. jamas L'Amy, Advocate, on the part of the Panne!. The Jury were charged by Lord CULLEN, and inclosed at one o'clock in the morning, and at ten o'clock yesterday returned a %fennel, all in one voice, finding the Pannel pat; of the murder; whereupon he vras sentenced to be fed upon bread and water only, arid to be carried to the place where the 'nuttier was committed, there to be h3nged on the 31st of Onober next, and his. body thereafter so be publicly dissected anti anatomized. The verdict in this case proceeded upon circum stantial evidence ; it was, ti:ei'efore, a satisfaCtory circumstance, that while several of the Jufyinen and Members of Court remained in town, the cul. prit confessed his guilt of the clime. Yesterday se'nnight, at the second Ant amnia] Fir, Carlisle, there was a toleral.tie S haw of cattle, the su. rerior sorts of which v especially those that were in prime condition, went off rapidly, and at prices which did not diswpoinr the expectations of their respeetive owners ; 'but those of the contrary de_ scription, in a general way, could not be disposed of at any rate.
