His Majesty has granted s prrsion of lOW Tic dollars baneo, in
silver, to the widow of the late Minister Rosenerantz. The funeral
of that lamented statesman took place yeaterday. Princes Christian
and Ferdinand of Iknmark, Prince %%llliam Of Hesse, and Prince
William Charles Louis of Hesse Philipsthal. were among the nu.
tiverous followers, as well as the whole diplomatic carps.

Some extraordinary discoveries have been recently made
at the East India lions.. g...eat commercial Route has
brought in the Nizam its debtor about seven hundred
them,and pounds. I'pan an investigation, it appeared that
not more than three hmdreil thousand pounds had been
really lent and that the rewainder of the sum alleged to
he due, had l:en managed between that house and the
Ministers of the Sizam. A high personage is deeply itn-
plicated, and it is now in contemplation to impeach him.
The proposal to give the late Governor-General of India a
pension of five thousand rounds per annum was negatived
at the Court of Pireetors. This we regret, front Lit.'
