in CIO, wllseefer accented of the Office, could de-
rive rll ether advantage from it ; besides, the chi--
tieulty of proc-sniog a person who was fit for such
an ot:ice, consistent with his rank in life, his know-
ledge and talents to fill such a situation ; altogether,
;the eligibility of such a person beingtakeminto con-.
sideration, he•,•eoUld not "conceive what less sum
could be granted, •
'Mr. ReDDLETrotiE declared, that from the state
of the Company's finances atpresent, he could. not
agree with the Honourable Chairman, and thought
this salai y m,ucli too great for the duty, and situa-
tion.: He adverted to the appointment 'of Mr. Sul-
livan, as Attorney• General of Madras, a Gentleman
equallyAigh in rank and abilitieg with the Gentle-
man (Mr. Ormsby) who wkAs appointed to the office
in question, an office no 'way superiqr to that held
by Mr. Sulivatj , wh6se salary was only 500 pagodas
per month, about 2,501, per annum.
The Cit4iituAN expressed much surprise at hear-
ing the Honourable Gentletrian now oppose what
.he understood him to have acquiesced in upon a
former occasion, and wished he had made his ob-•
je6lion sooner: Much had bee'n said on the bad State
of the Company's Finances; but in ,this he could
not agree—and although tliey might be somewhat
reduced at pretenr, yet they were by no means in
such a state as to prevent the Company's granting
such a salary to any Gentleman going out in such,,a
situation ;- if the Honourable Gentleman had read
the kik Dispatches from that Island he would hare
seen the necessity of sending out such an Officer.
_MuCh might also be said of, the virtue and eeonoiny
of former ; but it should be rememlzered„
that—clthough persons• then had but small salaries
yet by, catchma and grasping at etery thing which
came 'within trieir reach they were enabled to amass
immense fortunes at*the expellee of the Company.
This, however, -cook! not be the case
_in the present
instance—and he therefbre cOnteluted, that the best
plan the' Company ever adopted was that of gjving
liberal salaries. It was originally' the intention of
the Dire6tors :to-have had a Mayor and Aldermen
for the:administration:of Justice in the Island, who
would be little expellee 'to the Company, but Go-
vernment proposed a Recerder, and the Board had
no alternative left hut to take their Chatterof Jus7
flee under this regulation. He concluded, by pro-
posing to have read some EXtra6.ls from the Dis-
patches before alluded to.
• These dispatches represented the necessity of ex-
pediting the Charter of Justice for the gopd govern-
ment- of the Island, and .related several enormities
committed with itripnnity by Europeans; for want
of a-proper Judicature, and particularly alluded to
the, case in. eleven persons guilty of murder, • who
.were suffered to go Unpunished.
Mr. KE,mr,e'v. reprobated the idea,of the. Court of
Direeters; who had so Much the guidance of the
Corripany7s affairs, stfrering any measure to be
crammed down their throats by Government,; nor
could-he suppose the Company would support them
in such (*dud.
After:;ome explanation from Mr. HUDDIeESTONE,
Mr. PETER Moonk: said, that he also, consistent
with his former opinion on thiS subject, strongly
opposed tails measure ,• nor Could he think:of sup-
porting the Board of Diretaors" until they should
again adept,t he measures resorted to in 178 1---those
of economy and refiirmation. The means were in
their own power; nor could he agree to any mea-
sure ~'hick had for its Objeti an extravagant expen-
diture of the Company's FtindS.
In answer to a questidn from Colonel
.SYmes,
it appeared that the salaries of the Recorders'
Madras ,and ih were Five Thotisand Pounds '

the measure itself, he gave it Lis etjad zpitro-
bation.

After some !Luther observations, tl:e Cauest:rm
was loudly. called for, and being put, " That the
Court •of 'Proprietors do. agree with the Court- of
Direaors in this Resolution," the Question was.
negatived without a division.

THE Hamburgh Mail clue on Sunday arrived last
night; we have. extraaed all the interesting articles
which it contains. The EMPEROR of RUSSIA is.
evidently exerting all his influence to produce a re-
conciliation between the Kings of SwEngtg and
PRUSSIA, and there can be little doubt but that he
will succeed. The Kugd of PittisstA. has uniformly
manifested the greatest reluctance to Conunence,h4;
tilities; and the KING.of SWEQEN cannot with ani
regard to prudence net in opposition to the:wishes of
the EMPEROR of RUSSIA. It is stated in a Letter;
from Hanover, that the' Prussian Troopi are about to
evacuate Lanenburgh; If this be true, his Swedish.
Majesty will have in a great degree attained the
object for „which he has: been contending:--,
We are happy to find that Mrs. SrENcEtt SMITH
has escaped:out of the hands of the French, and
has arrived at Prague. " , She was about to be
Conveyed to Valenciennes, when she was delivered
by .the - adclyess and intrepidity of a Neapolitan
Officer. Apprehensions, however, were entertained,
.that if -she remained at Prague sit* would be re-
clahr.ed by the French,-and she has been advised by
her friends to take refuge in Polish Russia.
.'.The French Armies are, it is said, beginning to

break up in .Germany ; but ‘ve are convinced that
they will nut evacuate that unfortunate country until
the. new Constitution, whirl RONAPAZTE has pre-
pared' for. the Qernannic Empire,, shall have been
adopted.

LORD GI:ENVII4..E, in pursuance of a notice he
lately gave of. his intention to bring forward seine
preposition for improving the system of administer-
ing JUstice in Scotland, and lessening the Inunber of
ApPeals,to this Country, ,introduced the subject last
night in the House of Lords, in averyabie and per-
spicuous manner. The Noble Lord stated the dif-
ficulties, , •
embarrassments, and expellees of the pre-
sent system, and proposed a set of-Resolutions which
seem to be admirably calculated to place the Adica,
ture of Scotland upon a proper' footing, and to for-
ward the ends of justice with more facility and
must give satithetion to _the Public to
find that, notwithstanding the multiplicity of con-

per annum .ea( li.
Mr. JoJJ:•:synicp, again addressed the Court : be
could not conceive why so -enormous a salary should
be granted for such a situation in an Island not; so
big as the isle of Wight, where a Judge would have
scarcely any thing to do, and whose salary for one
year wout.d cover all expences of litigation, that
might arise in tat. -He did not exped.that the
-Court of Proptictors would support the Direelors in
any such measure as the present, when they suffered
any persen whatever to, be imposed upon then) by
His Majesty's Ministers, who had endeavoured to
diatate to theni upon every subjed ; and-particularly

cerns that necessarily occupy the attention of that

Noble Lord, his comprehensive mind enables him
to attend to whatever relates to domestic policy, the
pure administration of justice, and a due regard to

in a very recent instance, when they endeavoured
to force a Million of their own as Governor-General
of India—[llere the Hon. Gentteman was called to
order by. Colonel. Byrnes.]. He replied, that in
making use, of that expression he meant no dis-
respe& to His Majesty's Government—hut lie could
not give his support to such measures ; and; de-
clared, in conclusion, as his opinion, that-the present
Establishment of Prince of Wales's Island would
not exist two years longer.

Col. SYams \spoke -at sonic length ,in support of
the measure.

The CHAIRMAN again adverted to the importance
of the Island, both in a commercial and naval point
of view, as a situation long wanted by the Com-
pany. die strongly reprobated the language made
use ofby;the Honourable Gentleman (Mr. John.:
stone), and thought it highly unbecoming in that
Court, however he might be authorized to repeat it
in that determined and strong opposition which he
so uniformly, gave to all
,measures of His Majesty's
Ministers in another place.
Mr. JOHNSTONL, in explanation, replied, that
he never gave any decided or strong opposition
to His Majesty's Ministers, except in the recall
of Sir George Barlow from the Government of
India -man high in the confidence of the
Company, and whose conduit, in every -respea,
was highly meritorious. This measure, done iu
direa opposition to the CoMpany's wish, and
also the appointment of a person in his room, to-
tally adverse to their inclination, he must ever re-
probate.
Mr. It. THORNTON strongly condemned the 'con,-
du& of the *Honourable Chairman, for making any
such refleaions upon the sentiments of any Hon.
Gentleman who 'had a right to express himself in
that Court; he considered. every Gentleman present
was entitled to declare his opinion openly and
fairly upon any subject before the Court. With re-
& e to the measure itself, it was a child born when
he was sent to grass, \and ont of the Diretlion—
therefore he had nothing to say to it; but at all
eFents, he thought some unanitLity should be ob-
served in the course of their proceedings.
Sir FRANCIS BARING wished much • to see .that
harmony' and unanimity should prevail amont hem ;
but he could not help reprobating the intemperate
aoguage of an Hon. Gentle Man (Mr. Johnstone)
•wlio took so wa:•:n 4. part in the Debate. As to

VIZNVA, MAY 13.—The Harbours of Trieste and

Russians till the evacuation- of Cataro has aaually
taken place. The Garrisons of these iwo Ports have
been reinforced.

Count SriptoN, the Declaration of the King of
Sweden against Prassia.

The report that the Russians have taken possession
of Ragusa has been revived, but still requires con-
firmation.

The report in some of the Public Journals of in
alliance between this and some other Courts, is not
supported by any appearances here, where all the
preparations made seem only intended to secure a
durable Peace. Equally unfounded is the report
that has been circulated, that Trieste bas been taken
possession of by the French,
