THE HAMBURGII .11,411.. in CIO, wllseefer accented of the Office, could de rive rll ether advantage from it ; besides, the chi - - tieulty of proc-sniog a person who was fit for such an ot:ice, consistent with his rank in life, his know ledge and talents to fill such a situation ; altogether, ; the eligibility of such a person beingtakeminto con- . sideration, he•,•eoUld not "conceive what less sum could be granted, • 'Mr. ReDDLETrotiE declared, that from the state of the Company's finances atpresent, he could. not a g ree with the Honourable Chairman, and thought this salai y m,ucli too great for the duty, and situa tion.: He adverted to the appointment 'of Mr. Sul livan, as Attorney• General of Madras, a Gentleman equallyAigh in rank and abilitieg with the Gentle man (Mr. Ormsby) who wkAs appointed to the office in question, an office no 'way superiqr to that held by Mr. Sulivatj , wh6se salary was only 500 pagodas per month, about 2,501, per annum. The Cit4iituAN expressed much surprise at hear ing the Honourable Gentletrian now oppose what .he understood him to have acquiesced in upon a former occasion, and wished he had made his ob-• je6lion sooner: Much had bee'n said on the bad State of the Company's Finances; but in ,this he could not agree—and although tliey might be somewhat reduced at pretenr, yet they were by no means in such a state as to prevent the Company's granting such a salary to any Gentleman going out in such,,a situation ;- if the Honourable Gentleman had read the kik Dispatches from that Island he would hare seen the necessity of sending out such an Officer. _MuCh might also be said of, the virtue and eeonoiny of former ; but it should be rememlzered„ that — clthough persons• then had but small salaries yet by, catchma and grasping at etery thing which came 'within trieir reach they were enabled to amass immense fortunes at*the expellee of the Company. This, however, - cook! not be the case _in the present instance—and he therefbre cOnteluted, that the best plan the' Company ever adopted was that of gjving liberal salaries. It was originally' the intention of the Dire6tors : to - have had a Mayor and Aldermen for the:administration:of Justice in the Island, who would be little expellee 'to the Company, but Go vernment proposed a Recerder, and the Board had no alternative left hut to take their Chatterof Jus 7 flee under this regulation. He concluded, by pro posing to have read some EXtra6.ls from the Dis patches before alluded to. • These dispatches represented the necessity of ex pediting the Charter of Justice for the gopd govern ment- of the Island, and .related several enormities committed with itripnnity by Europeans; for want of a - proper Judicature, and particularly alluded to the, case in . eleven persons guilty of murder, • who .were suffered to go Unpunished. Mr. KE,mr,e'v. reprobated the idea,of the . Court of Direeters; who had so Much the guidance of the Corripany7s affairs, stfrering any measure to be crammed down their throats by Government,; nor could-he suppose the Company would support them in such (*dud. After:;ome explanation from Mr. HUDDI e ESTONE, Mr. PETER Moonk: said, that he also, consistent with his former opinion on thiS subject, strongly opposed tails measure ,• nor Could he think:of sup porting the Board of Diretaors" until they should again adept , t he measures resorted to in 178 1---those of economy and refiirmation. The means were in their own power; nor could he agree to any mea sure ~'hick had for its Objeti an extravagant expen diture of the Company's FtindS. In answer to a questidn from Colonel .SYmes, it appeared that the salaries of the Recorders' Madras ,and ih were Five Thotisand Pounds ' the measure itself, he gave it Lis etjad zpitro bation. After some !Luther observations, tl:e Cauest:rm was loudly. called for, and being put, " That the Court •of 'Proprietors do. agree with the Court- of Direaors in this Resolution," the Question was. negatived without a division. L Q N 1) 0 N, .117 NE 19, 18Q6. THE Hamburgh Mail clue on Sunday arrived last night; we have. extraaed all the interesting articles which it contains. The EMPEROR of RUSSIA is . evidently exerting all his influence to produce a re conciliation between the Kings of SwEngtg and PRUSSIA, and there can be little doubt but that he will succeed. The Kugd of PittisstA. has uniformly manifested the greatest reluctance to Conunence,h4; tilities; and the KING . of SWEQEN cannot with ani regard to prudence net in opposition to the : wishes of the EMPEROR of RUSSIA. It is stated in a Letter; from Hanover, that the' Prussian Troopi are about to evacuate Lanenburgh; If this be true, his Swedish. Majesty will have in a great degree attained the object for „which he has: been contending:--, We are happy to find that Mrs. SrENcEtt SMITH has escaped:out of the hands of the French, and has arrived at Prague. " , She was about to be Conveyed to Valenciennes, when she was delivered by . the - adclyess and intrepidity of a Neapolitan Officer. Apprehensions, however, were entertained, .that if -she remained at Prague sit* would be re clahr.ed by the French, - and she has been advised by her friends to take refuge in Polish Russia. .'.The French Armies are, it is said, beginning to break up in .Germany ; but ‘ve are convinced that they will nut evacuate that unfortunate country until the. new Constitution, whirl RONAPAZTE has pre pared' for. the Qernannic Empire,, shall have been adopted. LORD GI:ENVII4..E, in pursuance of a notice he lately gave of. his intention to bring forward seine preposition for improving the system of administer ing JUstice in Scotland, and lessening the Inunber of ApPeals,to this Country, ,introduced the subject last night in the House of Lords, in averyabie and per spicuous manner. The Noble Lord stated the dif ficulties, , • embarrassments, and expellees of the pre sent system, and proposed a set of - Resolutions which seem to be admirably calculated to place the Adica , ture of Scotland upon a proper' footing, and to for ward the ends of justice with more facility and must give satithetion to _the Public to find that, notwithstanding the multiplicity of con per annum .ea( li. Mr. JoJJ:•:synicp, again addressed the Court : be could not conceive why so - enormous a salary should be granted for such a situation in an Island not; so big as the isle of Wight, where a Judge would have scarcely any thing to do, and whose salary for one year wout . d cover all expences of litigation, that might arise in tat. - He did not exped . that the - Court of Proptictors would support the Direelors in any such measure as the present, when they suffered any persen whatever to, be imposed upon then) by His Majesty's Ministers, who had endeavoured to diatate to theni upon every subjed ; and-particularly cerns that necessarily occupy the attention of that Noble Lord, his comprehensive mind enables him to attend to whatever relates to domestic policy, the pure administration of justice, and a due regard to in a very recent instance, when they endeavoured to force a Million of their own as Governor-General of India—[llere the Hon. Gentteman was called to order by . Colonel. Byrnes.]. He replied, that in making use, of that expression he meant no dis respe& to His Majesty's Government—hut lie could not give his support to such measures ; and; de clared, in conclusion, as his opinion, that - the present Establishment of Prince of Wales's Island would not exist two years longer. Col. SYams \ spoke - at sonic length ,in support of the measure. The CHAIRMAN again adverted to the importance of the Island, both in a commercial and naval point of view, as a situation long wanted by the Com pany. die strongly reprobated the language made use ofby ; the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. John.: stone), and thought it highly unbecoming in that Court, however he might be authorized to repeat it in that determined and strong opposition which he so uniformly, gave to all ,measures of His Majesty's Ministers in another place. Mr. JOHNSTONL, in explanation, replied, that he never gave any decided or strong opposition to His Majesty's Ministers, except in the recall of Sir George Barlow from the Government of India -man high in the confidence of the Company, and whose conduit, in every -respea, was highly meritorious. This measure, done iu direa opposition to the CoMpany's wish, and also the appointment of a person in his room, to tally adverse to their inclination, he must ever re probate. Mr. It. THORNTON strongly condemned the 'con,- du& of the *Honourable Chairman, for making any such refleaions upon the sentiments of any Hon. Gentleman who 'had a right to express himself in that Court; he considered. every Gentleman present was entitled to declare his opinion openly and fairly upon any subject before the Court. With re & e to the measure itself, it was a child born when he was sent to grass, \and ont of the Diretlion— therefore he had nothing to say to it; but at all eFents, he thought some unanitLity should be ob served in the course of their proceedings. Sir FRANCIS BARING wished much • to see .that harmony' and unanimity should prevail amont hem ; but he could not help reprobating the intemperate aoguage of an Hon. Gentle Man (Mr. Johnstone) •wlio took so wa:•:n 4. part in the Debate.

VIZNVA, MAY 13.—The Harbours of Trieste and Fiume will still continue shut to. the English and Russians till the evacuation- of Cataro has aaually taken place. The Garrisons of these iwo Ports have been reinforced. The Swedish Charge d'Affaires, Count DunEm, some days ago delivered to the Minii;ter of State, Count SriptoN, the Declaration of the King of Sweden against Prassia. The report that the Russians have taken possession of Ragusa has been revived, but still requires con firmation. The report in some of the Public Journals of in alliance between this and some other Courts, is not supported by any appearances here, where all the preparations made seem only intended to secure a durable Peace. Equally unfounded is the report that has been circulated, that Trieste bas been taken possession of by the French, 11.1'115E0NT, M 4 .7 30.—A1l the French Troops in the Archbishopric of Ratisbon broke up on the 18th of May.

She has arrived safely in this City, and though she was born a subjet of the 141;xPEttott of GERMANY, it iS so much feared that she will be ref claimed, that her relations, have advised her to reach Russia without delay.---(iacille du Nord) ROME, MAY 18:—This" morning Cardinal rEscrt left this City.

Last Wed nesday the Regiment of Isenburgh, which consists pf Germans, and has a German Colonel, passed through for Gaeta.

The English Squadron of four Ships of the Line; which lies in the Road of Naples, was a witness of the rejoicings which took place at Naple4 on the entry of King JOSEPH.

Captain Virtturar.-7When C.apt, WHITBY, now . of His 4ajesty's Ship Leander, commandea the Desiree Frigate at St. Domingo, DessALIN ES, from m inforation or suspicion that an American Master, of a Vessel had s m u g gl e d o tf• some French Wifites to pi-et:slit their falling into his hands, ordered the said Master to be immediately hanged on. the Wharf in his presence. Captain WHITBY, shocked at So horrid a proceeding, with than genuine humanity and determined resolution so peculiar to a Briton, sent a boat, manned and ar m ed, t o t h e rescue of the ill-fated-Ainerican,• ',Fortunately the knot had slipped, mid he. was suspended by the chin. A inus ket was fired to clear the way, the ballof which pass-, ed near DEssmAras . ; the boat'S crew landed, took down the vitilm, who soon recovered, and restored; him to his ship.lDEssaLms,instead of resenting this, suffered Capt. W. to beat all times on shore unin andpaid him markedattention,' This anecdote may well make rite Americans blush at' the unjust oppro., brium they have -bestowed, for an unavoidable ac., cident, upon a man, to whom their Country, and the whole civilized world, stand so highly indebted. A Petition to the House of Commons, against the American Intercourse 1011, at present under the consideration of Parliament, was • last week trans• rnitt,ed to London by the iVlerchants of fireetiock. among whom -it appears to have excited considerable alarm, as they conceive that, if carried into a law, the effeet of the measure would deprive in a great degree , the British Ship-owners of the advantages so long secured to them by the salutary regulations of the Navigation Act. A similar Petition has, we tin., derstand, likewise been forwarded from porteGlai. gow. . . We are authorized to contradia a false ancl calutn- nious statement which has been veq confidently matt industriously circulated, that Alr—lustioeiktx, wham case has. occupied the attention, of the louse 'of Lords during three Ses.Siozz-s , was iadetted_fir 144 seat on the Irish Judicial Bench to the support give; ly him in Parliament to the great ineasurr of -the Union of the two Kingitamt. mr.

With these recommendations he had the honour of being first Hoticed by,Earl' CAMDEN, then Liord Lieutenant of Ireland, and by his Secretary, the present Lord (..4LL4 CHESTER ; and long betbEe the question ofk.Jaion wag even mentioned, was actually uesignated' by them, with the approbation of the late Lod Ct.ARE, then Chancellor of Ireland, to fill the first vacancy that might occur on the Judicial - Bench of Ireland. - Lord Cmsinfit was succeeded by . ti n s late Actin - T.4s cuRN - WALLIS, who carried this arrangement into execu, tion, without any new stiptilation of any kind being annexed, to it by ,him. Lord CAMDEN, Lord Cat- CHESTER, and Lgrd CAS,TLEREAGLI, are referred to . fin' the truth and accuracy of this statement, which has become necessary lig the purpose of screening ari injured Public IVlagistrate, invested with the highest trusts, and the execution of the most awful func tions, from unmerited obloquy and reproach, at a, ti /4 when his judicial conduCt has been made the sulalea . - of complaint ,in Parliament. It is equally import, ant to rescue the greatand distinguished Personages, whose names have been so improperly mentioned a$ parties to this foul and disgraceful traffic, from that disgrace which would otherwise justly attach to the charaiiters of the living, and to the Meinories Of those who cannot now answer for tnemseives. The only boon derived by Mr. Justice Fox front the Union of Great .13cia'sp:i and Ireland, has been the novel and un. precedente.d distinaion of being ptuced to answer at the Bur ri the House :of.
