EAST-INDIA HOUSE.

A Court of Proprietors was held, y
the East-ludic House,
SWUM 'ASTEItt., Esq. in the Chair.,
The Resolution of the Court of Directors, or-
dering the dividends ou.East India Stock, for the
quarter commencing the • let of January la,t, at SI
per cent. was confirmed in this Pourt.
A Committee of Bye-Laws was appointed.
The annual papers, relative to the state of the
Company's affiirs, which were laid be-tore Parlia-
ment. were read.
Mr. It. JACKSON wished to know whether the
papers then read were the whole that were presented
to either House of Parliament ?
The CRAINNAN stated that they were. Some
additional papers, upon the same subject, and re-
ferring to those, were laid before a Committee of
the House of Commons, butt it was not usual to
read them to the Court, nor would it he conve.

'ester*, at

. _
iiient.• as they consisted of numerous and com-
plicated details.
Mr. KEMSLE expreised himself perfectly satis-
fied with the explanation of the Cliairiann ; it was
his intention others ise to have made some uh..erva-
tMns, which he should now decline.
Mr. J ACKSON wished to know whether the impels
alluded to by the Chairman, as submitted to the
Committee. were sect:stalk to the Proprietsrs

•
The CH.teaKAN .aid that they were.
Mr. Lock inquired wh-ther Sir George Barlow
'recaived and• orders from the Court of Director+ re.
lair* to his conduct in India. on the occasion of the

late disturbances?
The CHAIRMAN said, that it was a question which
could not now be discussed, at the sametinie he
had no objection to say, in justice to Sir George
Barlow, that whatever he hail done, was in conse-
quence of 'wafers front that Court.
Mr. JACKSF)N complimented the candour of the
Chairman, but would forbear stating any opiitiou
upon the subject, until possessed of further infor-
mation. He hoped that the Proprietors would,
between this and next erasion, acqoaint themselves
rally with their own affair', their knowledge of
which would constitute their beat defence against
the exertions of their enemies. It was impossible
not to see that there was a sort of temper arising
among persons (from whom the contrary ought to
be expected) to regard the property of Corpora-
tions with little or no respect. They were getting
into the habit of thinking upon such subjects with
a levity which must appear shocking to every man
who understood tile ore of ohligatioua, and the
constitution of the country. Those persons, who,
• from a prejudiced view of things, were inclined to
treat the rights of the Esst loilia Company with
such feelings, should ow.ider the sacrifices which
the Company hail made m times past to the puh.ic
good. Saci silver which might be instanced as the
causes of the present temporary embarrassment io
which they were placed. Supposing that Govern-
ment was inclined to do them justice. and supposiog
that they should demand nothing from Govern-
ment but what justice would warrant (each of
which lie hoped would he the cur), still there was
a prejudice against capitalists, of whatever kind,
which rendered it essentially necessary that they
thonld all exert themselves. He feared nothing
from the people of England, they would act
justly. Their best defence would be a right under-
standing of their affairs, and that was an armour
with which he hoped they would all furnish
themselves.
The Report of the Court of Directors, respecting
the loss of the Crtkafra, the Jane Duchess of
Gordon, the Dundee, and the Bengal, acquitting
all parties of any blame in the fittiag out and
manning of the ships, &c. was read, and ordered
to be taken into consideration, by ballot, ou the
4th of July.
Mr. J ACII.ON wished to know whether the
convoys were mole attended to toast heretofore, as
many corupla.iits had been shade upon that subject
The CHAIRMAN was sorry to state that there
were many vessels expected, which hail not it
arrived, and it was believed that the delay was occa-
sioned by wain of convoy.
Mr. JACIOON thonght that every step ought to
be taki•ii to prevent the growth of the enemy's
meet, which was greatly assisted by the success of
their privateers ; it was therefore the policy of this
country to destroy their privateers, if pussilile ;
sad the only way, in his opinion, by which so
desirable an object could be accomplished, was by
making it worth the while of our own privateers to
exert themselves in that service.
Mr. RIGAT agreed perfectly in the suggestion of
the Honourable Member, and hoped that an
answer had been rereived from the Adiniralty, to
the proper mod spirited letter of the Directors. Mach
of the inconvenience a gto the trade was owing
to the misconduct of some of the Public Boards of
the Compatiy, abroad.
The CMAIRMAN was happy to have it in hie power
to inform the Coort. that an answer had been re-
ceived from the Admiralty, and that every desire
Was manifested. upon the part of their Lordships, to
correct the evils complained of. The letter was slot.
at present, in Isis poriession, but he should send for
it, in order that it might be read.
WRITERS AND CADETS.

The CH AMNIA ra cithril the outriding& of the Court
to a itesolutlon of thr Court of Directors. restoring
Mr. Fry Maniar, and .Mr. E.l•.srit James Smith, to
their situations, as Writers in the East India Com-
pany's ai rbirr, rod Mr. Julio Samuel Williams, to
lois situation as Cadet. This, he said, was in eon-
family with a Resolution of the Court of Prourie-
'ors, which prodded, that, upco the nutniostion cf

ate Ditteter, each of those young gentlemen, whose
case had beau so often before the public, should

re-appointed.
Mr. JACKSON wished to knew if there was any ci
cumstance by which these cases were distinguished
from the cases of the other young gentleman, not
included in the Resolution?
The CUAIRMAN said, that there was no other dis-
tinction between them, than that those had the
good fortune to be nonnuated, each by a Director,
and the others had riot been so fortunate.
Mr. JACKSON expressed great concern at the
1 course which the business had taken. The young
men were all dismissed for au act in which they
had no part, but which it was thought expedient to
mark with such strong disapprobation as involved
them iu its consequences. The resolution of their
dismissal was sto qualified's' indeed justice required
it should, that in case a Director should appoint
theta, from his own private patronage, they should
be restored. It was not, however, in the contem-
plation of that General Court, in passing a Resolu-
tion to such an effect, that letters of re-appoint-
ment should arrive in India almost as SOON as the
letters of recall. It was his intention, after they
were brought home, to have submitted a Resolu-
tion, recommending a further inquiry, thr the pur-
pose of tureen*. • g whether they had arty thing to do
with the transactions by which they were appointed,
un ascertaining that they had not, to reap-
point them. This was the course winch he would
have recommended, but he sore it could not
have been the intention of that Court that those
who had friends should he restored, and that those
who had none should suffer. He knew that they
' could not now proceed hy Resolution, Instil would
hr well for them to cnie:itler the situation of those

young men, whom the Hon.Chairinan had so em
',helically described as having no friends. The
persons who lest appointed them would be the
lust to re-uppoint them ;so that the case stood thus ;
sixteen persons were dismissed for the Berne fault—
those who had friends escaped the operation of
the sentence, and those nho had none were made
examples of. He would not even offer any recom-
mendation at present, but lie hoped that the Di-
rectors would take the case into their consideral
tion again, arid give relief to all, without throwing
them upuu any individual. As mercy had been ex-
tended to those aho had friends, it should be ex-
tended to those who had no friends, but the friends
of justice and clemency.
Mr. HANSON approved of the steps taken by the
Court of Directors, and was proud of the part
which he had takers in promoting them. He thought
that. if possible, the re-appointment of the young
Gentlemen should take place before they returned ,
the investigation recommended could he under-
taken as well in bells as here. As he improved of
the steps already taken, so he hoped they would go
further. If the young Gentlemen were to be
brought home now, many of them might be of au
age; before they arrived, to render re-appointment
inn possible.
Mr. LocK thought they must be on their way.
Mr. GRANT said, that lie had never considered
it necessary that all the young gentlemen should
be brought home. The objects of their removal
were two; first, to Pet an example ; and, secondly,
to vindicate the conduct of the Court of Directors.
Those olijects were now attained, and it was not
mess iry that any thing farther should be alone.
It was clear that the parties themselves were in no
way accessary. His Hon. and Learned Friend had
complained of the partial relief which was afforded;
the resole of which was, that it was thought ne-
matery that they should not be restored by a ge-
neral vote of the Court, as it might make aii can.
favourable impression on the public. lie wished
that some course naught be adopted, by which they
should be all restored.
Mr. Mose approved of the conduct of the Di-
rectors, iu which he KU certain they would per.
sever-.
Mr. WILLIAMS was surprised that his Hon. and
Learned Friend should object to the re-appoint-
ment by individnals. He hoped they would all be
restored to the service, and would support any mea-
sure which had such restoration for its objet o.
Mr. JACKSON said, that he was much misunder-
stood by many who ruse to oppose, lint concluded
with recimaineading the line he would have sug-
gested. It had been said, that the three Gentlemen
should not be recal!ed, as tittlr age might iii that
ease prevent their re-appointment ; but if this
argument applied to the three Gentlemen, it applied
to all. and the same means should be adopted
to-
wards the others as towards them. Every object
he thought would be better answered by a general
than a partial Resolution, and upon public prin.
ciplcs than by private interference. He wished to
put merit above the casualty and contingency of
private friendship. They would not (as he had
observed before) proceed to any motion upon the
subject. but they had dour much in expreeshug
theinaelves. If the young men should arrive is this
country, and have no friends, then it would be for
the Court to recommend to the Direetors to re-con-
.oider the matter, awl, after examining, provide in
some way for their re-appointisent.
Mr. tins SNQUCT mid, that the only question was,
whether sufficient bad been dune for the two ac.
kisowledged oljects of the proceeding ? If enough
was not done, it would be right to go farther ; but
if enough war done. pardon should be granted;
and the more general it was. the more agreeable it
would be to his feeling., and to the honour of the
Court. If Gentlemen thought proper, they might
give notice of is motion at a future duty, or make one
at present, coliveying their recornmelidstions to the
Court of Directors. He regretted much the part
which he felt himself obliged to take at the com-
mencement of this affair. hut it was his determina-
tion, up..n all occasions, to sacrifice his private
feelings in his public duty. Ile could say with
truth, that lie was more gratified in prouounciog
pardon, than in prosece= inquiry.
Mr. Twisting eapr his satisfaction at the
restoration of the young Gentlemen. and the estab-
lishment of the theracter of the Directors. He
hoped that In a little time the remaining young
gentlemen would be re-oppoiated.
Mr. Jaction said. that he would forbear pro-
pping any Resolution, because he did not wish to
interfere with that grace of mercy which he thought
should he entnely their own. Those who had pro-
nounced th.• Juld\ssent should p.onmince the par-
don. Its, the Directors had repressed them-

wives in a manner which reuderad atry rcccranierala-
tion unnecessary.
Mr. GEO. SMITH said, that all the
'rents would be made by individual vittritt.u.•
Three were already re-appointed to evriter.hips,
of the nine cadets who had been thsaossd, tin„
'also were restored.
The Resolutions were then severally put and
agreed o.
The letter from the Admiralty was read, signed
John Barrow. It promised protection from the
uu-
press to a certain extent, to those in the ewplut.
meta or the East India Company, and the curie.
tiod of other evils.
A Resolution of the Court of Directors, appaitit
in an additional Oriental Assistant in the Artillery
Seminary, with a salary of 2001. a-year, was agreed
to.

Mr. Jammer reminded the Court that diet
was a Resolution. which ordered that Reports
the stole of their Seminaries should be Lid before
them anomaly. .
The Cu it Rid AN stated, that it was the intention
to pruritic e them at the neat quarterly Court. He
then obser►ed. that the present Court was made
special for an important purpose, thut of com-
'catiog the information of the success of their
Petition to Parliament, which had granted them a
loan of a million and a half. Another Petition had
also been presented since, praying that they could
revise the aceoanta between Government and
Company.
This Petition being read and approved of, a,
*nine other business of coUrse disposed of,
Court adjourned.

It will he 'wen in our Court News, that Vice-
Admiral Sir ROBUT Comae was yesterday pre-
rated to His MA3L4TT, upon his appointment to
the command it Plymouth. Sir HUBERT CALDER,
wiih an inferior force, defetited the combined Beet
of France and Spain, and took two ships of the
Fear this victory he was brought to trial, and
the sect. wee of a Court•Martiol declared that he
had not done his duty. We always thought his
fate rather hard, cousidering that he is one of the

reared under the auspices of that father of modern
lime.. the brave and venerable Earl of ST. Vile.
MT. It is, therefore, with more than ordiwary
pleiuore, we wee him re-iastated, in some measure,
In the good opinion of his Sovereign, and his name

of favour, must for ever attach to it.

The House of Lords will meet, this day, at half-
post two o'clock, and the prorogation of Parliament

liberation, however, will not he effected until the
het of the prorogation is officially notified to the
Earl of Motu, the Constable of the Tower.—
finch communication will, no doubt, be made

action for false imprisonment, should be have
demanded his freedom after the prorogation, and
been refused by the Constable, altho.gh the law

to attend it are requested to assemble. at Our, ut

from the Tower until about five. The following

A letter from Dover, date►t Wednesday evening,
says :—" One of oar boats is just come on shore
from it large hrg, which is gone past from Dieppe,
bound to London. The Master states, that he left
Dieppe on Sunday night, being hurried to sea by
his merchant, who told him, that souse bad news
had been received, and he was fearful the vessel
would be atopped, if eke did not sail before the
next day. It was generally nodes:aloud that a
battle had been fought iu Portugal, which
had been ' unfavourable to the French, and
that the French people were very dissatisfied
with the corn bring sent out of the country, and
in some places ripe for revolution against the
Government. Every exertion was made to finish
loading the vessels that were taking iu corn, to
send them to sea, before an embargo should take
place."

We give this day, in the back of our paper, an
article entitled" A Letter from Brim A PARTE to the
Queen of NAPLES," not his sister NIVRAT. bat the
legitimate Queen of Naples, previous to his mar-
riage with her niece the Princess Maims Louisa.
Now that Parliamentary Debate is over. we may
expect to find some of the papers atteriipting, in the
vacation, to fill their columns with effusions of this
kind, as an agreeable change from the stale device
of private correspondenee from •" The Shores of
the Bay of Biscay." We have more than once ex-
posed these tricks, and we will do so azajo. if at-
tempted to be imposed upon the public, as authen-
tic information: As matters of amusement. in the
absence of real intelligence, we have, however, no
j objection to them ; and, as such, have
.copied the
article in question.

The Marlborough Packet, Capt. Burr. is ar-
rived at Falmouth, with a Mail from -Lisbon. after
a passage of 14 days. The lettets and papers
from that city are to the 3d instant, and con.
tams accounts from Lord WELLINGTO%.3 army,
on the Portuguese frontier, to the 30111 last.
At that date no battle had taken place, nor was one
immediately expected. The French army, under
Marshal Massa NA, called "The army of Portugal,"
consias of four diviaions, amounting in the whole
to 70,000 men, extending from Salamanca to Mu-
llis. The van of Lord WELttsGTON'S arusy was sit
St. Felines, with the British head-quarters at Cele-
ricos, and the Portuguese at Formes. It thus ap-
pears that the French army forms a riz,ht line
pearly north and south, through the middle of
the Spanish province of Eatreasadura, while Lord.
WrALINGTON'S army remains within the Por-
tuguese frontier. The amount of the latter is not
mentioned. but we believe it exceeds the French
by several thousands, and is further described as
in high health and discipline. and eager for the
impending conflict. We are sorry to find it ad-
mitted, that the formidable appearance of the enemy
had spread terror among the natives, as this dis-
position is likely to increase the longer an action..

delayed. Tile war in the vicinity of Caiii proceeds
Tratle"is represented as brisk,• and provi-
sions are plentiful in that city. It is confidently
asserted in the Cuban Papers that AUGEREAU has
quitted Barcelona, and retired with 12,000 men
to the French frontiers, carrying with him a great
treasitre, and seserid of the principal persons of
Barcelona. He has left iu Barcelona. Gerona, and
othur places, no more troops than are absolutely
necessary to garrison theta. The Spanish army
under O'DoN st. has it► consequence approached
nearer Barcelona.
