A General Court of Proprietors of East India
Stuck was held yesterday, for the purpose of con-
sidering • resolution of the Court of Directors,
granting the sum of 60,000/. to the Marquis of

East India Papers have arrived, including Cal.
eutta Journals to the Ifith Deceniht.r. It is not
without substantial cause that Sir T. S. RAFFIAs
has remonstrated against die conduct of the Dutch
in the Indian Archipelago. The liberal and en-
lightened administration of that Gentleman. while
Governor of Java, lied created a strong prettier:-
tint, in favour of England iii that country. The
inclinaticit of the Native Powers in that quar-
ter to tnnintain a friendly communicatiou with the
English has been strongly mat ktri ; Lut the short-
sighted policy of the Dutch, in cotitin►ng the whole
trade of the Archipelago to the port of Batavia,
threatens a fatal blow to It commerce ohich pro.
wised so many mutual advantages while in the
hands of the English ; um, complaints are made
that the attempts of Major FARQUHAR to evta-
WWI a commercial intercourse between the Eng-
lish and several of the dlalay Princes have been
frustrated by the artful intrignes of Dutch Com-
missioners from the Government of Batavia. It
is surmised that tilliCe the re-occupation of Ma.
lacca iiy the Dutch Authorities, they have taken
steps to acquire a footing at Achren ; but a hope
is expressed that this project will he detested. The
Government orßencoolen is doing every thing to
render the Island of *4llllllllllrit the emporium of trade
in those parts. The Spice Plantations at Fort Mari-
boroegh are said to be in the most thriving con-
dition. intethgence limn the Continent of
India possesses little novelty or interest.

Mr. PENN, of Spring-gardens, seems to have
