EAST INDIA COMPANY.

Mr. Charles Grant pre ented a Petition from the
East lndla Company, praying for leave to bring
in a Bill to enable them to nose money by Band,
until inch time as they can raise money to the ex-
tent %hey alriady authorised to do by increasing
their Btocle.t • _ _ .

On this Petition being read by the Clerk, the
Host Member moved, • That it be referred to a
Committee of the House.
Mr. CREEVEY rose, and stated, that unless this
application was made upon the principle of making
a full disclosure of the Company's affairs, as is
usually done upon the Budget, it could not, in his
opinion. be listened to. In the year 1782, au at-
tempt was made to bring in a Bill, without giving
aoy general statement of the Company's affairs in
India, upon which General Burgoyne made a mo-
tion, that a C(1 WI rtee be appointed to examine
into the Sr rte of India, which was acceded to, and
the pra&z, ;rad never been departed Irons since that
time • 0.1. Petition had been presented by Lord
Melville, and another by %Ir. Pitt, of a similar na-
ture with the present one, both of which were dis-
cussed upon the Budget. A similar procedure was
necessary upon the present occasion, the more espe-
cially when this was the yesr that Lord Melville
prediard the East India debt would amount to
.54•00,0001. He SAW no r:aron why a disclosure
°or India affairs should not take place ; and, there.
fore, it the consideration of this Petition was not to
be aided by a pri,duttion of those papers which re-
lated to the East India Budget, be should feel it his
duty to oppose it in every possible stage.
Mr. ROBERT DUNDAS said, he co. eived

It seems certain that the Russian General Ben-
ningsen has requested an armistice of the French
Etnperor, and that Prince Barad-ion has written
to the Grand Duke of Berg, stating that General
Benningsen had alied in conformity to the desire of
the Emperor Alexander. It is understood that for
this purpose the Russian Lieutenant-General LA-
bannff has passed over the Niemen, and had a con-
ference of an hives duration with the Prince of

Mr. FASEMANTLE presented a Petition on
behalf of the Agent for the Petitioner against the
return for the Borough of &hash, praying of the
House to enlarge the time for receiving the usual re-
cognizance. He stated, that the recognizance hal
been transmitted to the country by the post, in due
time to be returned to town, but owing to some un-
accountable delay, its transmisson back to town had
been delayed.
An Hon. Member observed, that the letters
coming by that day's post from that quarter, had
been very considerably delayed, to his knowledge.
The SPEAKER observed, that it was his duty
to call the attention of the House to this subject. By
a resolution of the House, the recognizance upon a
Petition, complaining of an undue Eleetion, should
be returned within 14 days after presenting such
Petition ; this had not been done in the present cue,
but a reason had been stated for this delay; it was
therefore his duty to lay the faCts before the House,
that the House might consider whether there were
sufficient grounds for admitting the receipt of such
Petition.

The question was then put upon bringing up
the Petition, and carried near con.
The Petition being then read, the time for re-
turning the recognizance, was enlarged until Wed-
nesday next.
Upon Motion of Mr. VANSITTART, the Malt
Tax Duty Bill, and the Pension Duty Bill, were
severally read a second time, and ordered to be
committed on Monday.
Mr. HOBHOUSE brought up the Report of the
Committee of Supply.
The several Resolutions were read and agreed to.
Mr. VANSITI'ART then gave notice, that he
would, pursuant to the foregoing Resolutions, move

jesty the sum of 10,500,0001. by Loan upon. Ex-

FOREIGN Ih7ELLIGENCE.
London, England, 1807-01-05

DUBLIN, DEC. 30.

We have received the fallowing patticulars cf the
lamentable accident which occurred on Christmas
Day, at Conway, in North Wales.—The coach con-
veying the mail, which left London on Tuesday last,
arrived at the Ferry of Conway in regular course.
The day was extremely stormy, and the liver pre-
sented so frightful an appearance, that some of the
passengers by the coach refused to venture across ;
the mail, however, and sixteen persons, were pat
into the Ferry-boat, which was either overloaded or
unskilfully managed, se that about midway a vio-
lent squall coming, with a heavy sea, she instantly
sank. We are sorry to state, that of the sixteen, butt
two have been saved, one of whom swam ashore ; the
other fortunately seized upon the bag containing the
Mail, with which he floated, until he was taken up.
Mr Jewster, a respeCtable hatter of th is city, was one
of those, who, happily for themselves, were alarmed
at the appearance of the river, and declined attempt-
ing to cross.
Among the arrivals by the Holyhead Packet, on
Saturday, we have the pleasure to announce that
of Alexander Marsden, Esq.
Monday and Tuesday last, two large parties of
Volunteers, from the 2d battalion of the 47th foot,
marched into Cork, preparatory to their embarka-
tion for Buenos Ayres, where they are to kiln the
Ist battalion of that regiment.
The Royal County Limerick Regiment of Militia,
now at Newry, have received a route to march to
Dundalk; and the 7th regiment, quartered at Dun-
dalk, have received their route tor Newry; from
whence they sail for Glasgow. Several otter move-
ments are expelled to take place amongst the mili-
tary, when the regiments, which are under orders
for this country, art ive from England. It is under-
stood, that on the arrival of the troops in this coun-
try. from England, the following distribution of
quarters will take place; Ist Royal Dragoons. at
Dundalk; the 7ih Dragoon Guards, at Clcnimu I ;
the stb Foot, at Cork; the :7th ditto, at Derry;
and the 6th ditto, at Newry. Some of the regi-
ments, at pre.eut quaneted i■ this garrison, it is
also supposed, will be moved immediately.
Friday evening a very ormageolas jraern took
plaoc between some country people and a number of
pe•rters and boatmen, on the quay at Clonmel, iu
which several of the party were dangerously. and we
hear two are thought to be mortally, wounded.
Mr. Jones, hearing of the riot, immediately pro-
ceeded with a pa•t of the army to suppress it, but
the greater part odthe ruffians had dispersed.
Tuesday last, a duel was fought near Tubber, on
the confines of the c.-unties of Clare and Galway,
between Lieut. S—m, of the Longford Militia,
quartered in Ennis, and P. O'K—v. E•q. of that
town; the parties having discharged too pistols
each, without any disagreeable consequences, seve-
rally retired.

THE 1.-47 k SAW, STORMS.

By the late snow storms there hes been mere
terrible destruBion oa the sheep farms in the north
of Ragland, than has ever been experienced in this
country. Mr. Oliver. and another farmer, who
occupy two farms at Kidder. at the head of North
Tyne, have lost no lessthan 1400 sheep; Mr. Simon
lATOMat at the Dead-water, 400 ewes ; Mr. Dodds
of Climburn, It score of sheep ; besides numerous
losses among the other farmers in that part of the
country, of which we have received no particulars.
These unhappy events are not to be wondered at.
when it is considered that the wreaths of snow were
in many instances 16 yards in depth, and over the
whole of that country, the snow was in general
deeper than ever remembered.
The following is an extra& of a letter from a
farmer in the parish of Ewes, dated December 2 ;
Several farmers in this neighbourhood have lost
a great number of sheep. One has lost 100 at one
farm, and 5100 at another ; a second has lost 300
at his farm in Liddesdale. 1 have, myself, net
lost more than 30 at both my farms, which has
been owing almost entirely to the' shepherds' dogs,
which have the singular power of direaing us
where to search for the poor animals, though co-
vered sometimes with snow twelve or fourteen
fees deep. You will think this a wonderful fa-
culty; it certainly is so, and renders the dog truly
valuable that pemeases it. It is remarkable that
some dogs, I mean those distinguished by the name
of ears, do not possess this faculty, or, at least. they
• will lot exert it. To-day we got three yearlings, '
edge hogs, or hogerela, from beneath snow. fully
ten feet deep, and though they had been haired for
about a fortnight, they were all alive."—(Tyne
Pater.
A farmer, near InnerJahr, in Cumberland, going
after some sheep that were missing during the snow.
took with him a oottle of rem and a small glass ;
when he found them, some seemed just dying with
cold, to every one of which he gave a little of the
rum, mixed with water. which instantly revived
them. To those who appeared least 'fretted be
gave none, What is remarkable, he got all that
, had taken the rum safe home, bat some of the rest
died on the way.

Lams Nalsra.—Singular a; the following may
appear, it is an absolute fad ALPO! Idets.oa, a
weaver, at Keverlow, near Oldham, some years
ago, had his bead covered with fine locks of dark
suborn hair. In the course of a few months, it
changed to a colour almost as white as snow; is
which conditinn he had a most venerible look.
Sine, t►at time it has uodergnne as sudden a
change to its primitive colour. and his hair is now
a fine dark brown again. lie says it was not the
same hairs'that thus changed from one cokur to
the caber, but that the first hairs all shed of, and
wen sateeeded ►y white oats ; and 'how asais.

At the flesaltms for this Borough, held on Mon-

wife of a Arran of a resoeflable situation in life,
pleaded pike on an indillment preferred against
tier for stealing liner:-drapery goods in the shop; of
.lours. Sherbrook And Wain:, and Mr. John
Orange of this town.. The Recorder expatiated
very -feelingly oa the distress in which the prisoner
had involved herself, lied her connexioot, by this
departure from the path of hmtery and upright-
nets. Enormous he said as the law considered her
acne% and prevalent as the putties of shoplifting
had hecome, the Court was nevertheless inclined to
be lenient in the punishment ittilißed upon her,
partly from the consideration cif this being her first
offence, and partly because she was understood to
he in an advanced state of pregnancy. The sen-
tence of theCoutt therefore was, that she should be
confined has year in the House of Correetion at
Wakefield, the last month in a solitary cell.
t.dieddriae Aaron, d notorious drunkard, com-
plained very ferlivli of the rudeness she experienced
from <he populace in the stre.ts of Leeds, both when
e had sacrificed too freely to the jolly god, and
when she was in her sober senses. The Court very
judiciously advised her to avoid future insults, by
endeavouring to retrieve her charaCter, which could
only be accomplished by leading a life of temper-
ance ; and to keep her out of the way of pretent
temptation, they ordered that she shroild be com-
mit ed for one montlt to I‘'alcefielil House of Cur-

Jane Wellborn, th• Matron of a releiraited house,

Some Hamburg!' papers, to the 25th last, were
received yesterday. They state that the French,
Spanish, and Dutch troops, assembling on the Elbe,
were intended to occupy the Danish provinces, un-
der pretext of expelling the English from Zealaad.
The Danish Prime Minister has Leen at the French
head-quarters, with the view to avert that measure;
and, it is stated, has prevailed 00 BINNADOTTI to
await the return of a Courier which the CROWN
Pat mca hid sent to Paris. This account, if come,
she's that the Censer Patric' was afluated by a
spirit of independence, and wished to maintain the
Leedom of his country alike against French and
klngli.h, or any other foreign power. But, what-
ever his original purpose may have been, it is now
become impossible to preserve that situation. His
refusal to ratify die capitulation of Copenhagen ex-
cited much surprise, because it could not recover the
