EAST INDIA HOUSE.

The adjourned debate upon the renewal of the East India Compri% .2.
Cha ter was renewed on Tuesday morning, at 11 o'clock.
Mr. K. SM ITU insisted that Mr Hume had been guilty of gross misre-
presentation, when he said that halt the extra ships were usually detain-
ed beyond the sailing season : the fact was, that out of 370 that had
been employed, only about 40 had been delayed. And called open
all the Proprietors, in a very animated manner, to support the execu..
tire body, the defenders of the righ•s of the Company.
Mr. TPOWER expressed his firm conviction that the Parliament of
Great Britain, renowned for its wisdom and honour, would not consent
to place in the hands of the present administration, such enormous in-
fluence as they would acquire by the destruction of the Chatter, and
de sole Government of India.
Mr. Bos NQUE•r lamented that Ministers had conducted the negocia-
tion in so unbecoming a spirit, arguing the dir:ct contrary of what every
man possessing the slightest knowledge was convinced must be the fact.
Mr. GRANT (one of the Directors) read extracts from the different
Petitions that had been laid before the [Luse of Con on ns, from which
it appeared, that the Petitioners thought our exports for India might be
considerably increased. This he denied, and proceeded to chew that
in to years-
no new commodity had been introduced into India witl,
the exception of cochineal which was not a production of this Country.
He then controverted most of the statements made by Mr. Hume, con-
tended that gentleman had taken a very partial view of the subject, and
asserted conclusions opposite to those which lie bad drawn were to he
deduced from the facts.
After a long discussion in wliirli Mr Morris, Mr. Twining, Mr. It.
Jacksmi, and Sir 11. Inglis participated. •
Mr. lie 1E declared the answers he had received bad confirmed him
in his opinions, end explained on various points of sonic length though
often interrupted by the Court.
The Amendment was then put to tI e vote and negatived, and the
first Resolution passed in the affirmative.
Mr. WEvnai no E informed the Chairman that he had compressed his
other Resulations into one, which having been moved anti seconded,
Mr. Hest E. suggested the propriety of having a Resolution so volu-
minous as that which was submitted to them printed, that the Pro.prie-
tors might consider it, least they might assent to any talse proposition.

• Air. Istp::y remarked that the Company should call on their natural
allicA, on those classes of whose goods they ensured a regular demand,
to come forward in their favour, and expressed a hope, that as the cxalt-
ed personage, whose affliction was now so much lan:-nted, had, in 1783,
with a truly constitutional view of the subject, considered the encroach-
ments then meditated on the Compnv, as encroachmeints on his own
authority, the illustrious person who executed the same high function,.
would look on the patron:sae of India as an instrument not less danger-
ous in the hands of Lord Liverpool than in those of Mr. Fox.

The Second Reso!ation was then put and carried wiltrut anv
dizsentient vote than that of Mr. Hume and the Court Adjourned.

Priday, a Court of Directors was held at the East India-house,
when General the Earl of MOI 71 A was iutroduced, and toiik the
usual oaths on being appointed to the high (~bees of Governor-Genc,
ral and Commander in Chief in India. His Lorthhip•afterwards par-
took of a grand dinner, at the City of London Tavern.

Amongst other eccentric novelties that appeared in tl►c
Park on Sunday last, was a Russian sledge, drawn by a ches-
nut galloway. This-vehicle, from its great rarity, attracted
much notice. It went along with great rapidity, and appa-
rently with much facility. In it were foreigners wrapped
up in furs a la Rune.

morning, at Golder's Green, a short distance from Hendon,

lebrity, and a 'Jew salesman. The parties, With their se-
