IMPRESSMENT.

The following is an extract of a letter from
Mr. WILLIAM MALTMAN, purser of the lion.
Company's ship Thomas Coatis, to S. MARJORI-
BANKS and Co. dated Madras, May 13, 1822,
accompanied with a Protest :

" I am sorry to observe that the same conduct which has
existed with the men of war in this country for some years past
still appears to be going on, and that on the day of our arrival
-(and before the Thomas Coutts was moored) we were boarded
by a boat from his Majesty's ship Glasgow, Capt. Doyle, who
beat up for volunteers, and took with them no less than eighteen
of our best seamen, three of whom were quarter-masters.
Capt. Chrystie, and the officers of the Coutts, did every thing
in their power to resist the threats of the officers of the man of
war from carrying off the ship's company in this way ; but
their remonstrances had no effect, as they sent boats armed with
marines, and absolutely forced the people out of the ship. We
have sent in. a strong representation to the Governor in Conn-
cil, " and protested. against the conduct of Capt. Doyle and the
officers of the Glasgow ; but whether they will interfere so as
to get the men sent back to the Coutts or not, is matter of
doubt. It has thrown the ship into complete distress for the
want of men, and should we not get the people again, there
will be much difficulty in getting hands here."
THE PROTEST.

TO CAPT. DOYLE OF HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP GLASGOW.
Madras, May 13, 1822.
SlR.,—Understanding that your ship is about to proceed to
sea, with the eighteen men, quarter-masters, and the best sea-
men of the Hon. Company's ship Thomas Coutts, which your
boats carried away from that ship, I hereby beg leave to ac-
quaint you, that the ship Thomas Coutts has thereby been
rendered unfit for the purposes of her voyage; and that I hold
you responsible to my owners, insurers, and all concerned, for
all events that may happen in consequence of your having dis-
tressed the ship.-1 am, Sir,
(Signed) ALEX. CIIRYSTIE.
• On this being communicated to-fhe officers of the Glas-
gow, they replied that the Navy did not acknowledge that
authority.

[FROM AN AMERICAN PAPER OF THE 21ST SEPT.]
The Chinese have refused a place of burial
where it was desired to Mrs. MORRISON, wife of
the Rev. Dr. M., Missionary, and where an in-
fant of Mrs. M. was before interred ; and those
Christians who inhabit Macao not allowing other
Christians any place of interment but without
the limits of the fosse outside the city wall, the
managing Committee of the English Factory in
China, wits a humane and liberal feeling, being
assisted by some worthy Portuguese Gentlemen,
to overcome legal impediments, purchased a piece
of ground, to be a cemetary for the English, and
we doubt not other Protestant Christians, who in
future may choose to avail themselves of it. This
arrangement enabled Mr. MORRISON to lay the
remains of his lamented wife in a place de-
cently appropriate for interment.

Yesterday morning, a little after daylight, rain
commenced falling in very heavy showers, and
continued through the day ; the ultimate effect
of this acceptable change after a long drought
and great heat must be favourable to the general
health of the city and country at large.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at
the East India House, when the Right Hon.
Lord AMHERST was appointed Governor-General
of Bengal.
It is with pleasure we announce, from the best
authority, that his MAJESTY purposes being at
the Pavilion on Saturday. Intimation, i❑ truth,
to such an effect has been received at the Palace.
As a matter of course, therefore, haut ton arrivals
here will speedily be on the increase.—The
Duke of CAMBRIDGE is continuing his sojourn at
the Pavilion ; his Royal Highness, in the gene-
rosity of his nature, neglects no opportunity in
which, by considerate condescensions, he can
promote either individual or the general interests
of the town.--(Brighton Chronicle.)
