To the PROPRIETORS of EAST INDIA STOCK.
LAPIES AND CENTL.LMCN,
HE great public principle on which I bare been
1. induced to hope 1/* your Support, in the arduous con-
test in ‘vhieli I am engaged, being, 'I trust, fully understood,
I should have waited in respeCtful silenee fOr your decision
on a point- so essential to your Interests, and at the same
time so iniportant to myself ; but I cannot delay to ex-
press my gratitude far the almost unexampled and, span.
taneous promises of Support which I have received through.
out my 'canvass, which are such as to give me- very con.
fitlent hopes as to the result. I regret as much as any
man that this Contest should have been delayed, until
within one week of the Election, but I hope-it cannot
be imputed to me, when it is recolleded that I waited
in deference to your Court of Direelors, and in expeeta.
tion of their usual:recommendation (which, under the pre.
tent peculiar circumstances, was I .oked to with much anxte.
ty) until. the very last moment prescribed by your bye.
laws foi candidates to declare themselves, and alter which
the Proprietors could have had no choice at the present- elec.
tion ; and it is, besides, highly ,detrimental to my interest,
inasmuch as it prevents the accomplishment of my earnest •
wish, personally to explain my motives to every individual
Proprietor.
My pretensions fora Seat in the Diredion having already
received the 'approbation of more than one thousand Pro—
prietors, I trust it is only necessary for me to repeat my as.
surances that ant elected you shall find me attiligent and
conscientious Servant,

I have the honour to be,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient Servant,
ROBERT WILLIAMS.

SATURDAY, APRIL S, 1809.

A report was strongly prevalent this morning
that the KING of SWEDEN had been delivered from
confinement, and restored to the possession of regal
authority. This event, it is said, was accomplished
by General 'LOLL, and a large body of Dalecar-
bans ; and that, in consequence, the Duke of Su-
,
DEILMANIA., had. thought proper to retreat to Fin-
land, and place himbelf under the protection of
Russia. ,

Government have not received any intelligence of
this nature, and therefore we know not to what de-
gree of confidetwe it is entitled. The last accounb
from Sweden were of the 28th

Toe late-Decree of the Dutch Government, afrords
an additional proof, if any were wanting, of the
wisdom and efficacy of that measure of 'file British
Government, against which the Opposition haVe
been most systematic in their attacks : we mean
the Orders in Council. By our persevvrance in that
siieasure, we have defeated the open enmity of 800-
NAPARTS, and the secret hostility of America. 800-
NAPARTE is compelled to open the Ports of Holland,
and the American Government is now feeling the
.consequences of the unfairness of its condud to this
Country; unwilling to take off the Embargo, yet
afraid to persist in it, and unable to enforce it, and
assailed on every side by the clamours and menaces
of the People of America. We trust that the British
Government will persist in a -measure which has
already produced such good consequences, until we
have taught BUONAPARTE that he cannot place the
British Islands in a state of Blockade, and until we
have convinced Neutrals (to use the Wards of Lord
Howrcx), that " if they have rights to maintain,
they have duties to:perform," and that they must not
rigidly claim all the bienetits belonging w neutrality
from one Belligerent, in order that they may give
more elleOual' assistance to the other.

Yesterday mottling, bis MAJESTY, and Princess
AUGUSTA', itccompatlied by Generals SPENCER,
GWYNNS, Cud FITiROY, COI.' PAYI:O4, .►l►d loacry
THYNNE, rode in Windsor Great Park till bag past
twelve o'clock.

Their MAJesTIEs and thtil PRINCESSES will come
to town on Tpesday next, and on Wednesday his
MAJESTY will hold .a Levee, and Council at the
Queen's House, and op Thursday her MAJESTY will
hold a Draming7rOcD at St..lamesis Palace.'
On Thotsday inerninithOPolte of Yoart• arrived
at. Windsor, tiornOatiands, on a visit to their Ma...
JESTIES, and will remain till this day. The Du-
chess was "also expected, but is indisposed with a
violent cold. Soon after, the Duke rode on horse-
'back, with his MAJESTY, the DUke of CAMBRIDGE,
and.PllUCesi AUGUSTA, accompanied by. Lord AR-
DEN; -Lady TBYNNE, Generals SVENCER, GWYNNE,
FITZROY,' and MANNRits ; 'COWIE MUNSTER, and
Colonel TAYLOR.

The latcq accounts from Spain continue to coun-
tenance the hope, that in every quarter ot the
Peninsula, not only is the determination .fixed upon
to resist the Enemy at every point but that the most
'effeeltial means ot precaution have been adopted to
give effect to that determinatien. Letters from Ali-
cantrepresent the influence and operation of tliis pa.
triotic spirit, as producing the most beneficial el-
fetts.—A, new Citadel has been construeled for the
.defence of the town, and three thousand militia.men
now employed on these works, are hereafter to fOrm
a part ot the garrison of the place. Ttioie only want
is that of arms, and the inhabitants are satisfied, that
as soon as it is known to the
.British Government,
that want will be immediately supplied. The mai-
nland of Alicant is entrusted to a Nobleman, Count
Haamose, in whom the inhabitants repose the
utmost confidetiee. The most spirited efforts are
making throughout the Kindoin of Valencia and the
city .of seems determined to emulate the
glorious example of Saragossa.

On the authority of the French Papers k has
been asserted iit most of our English Daily Publi-
canuns that the Mitrquis' 1)a LA ROMANA, with his
Whole army had been defeated on the trontiers of
Portugal, when 5000 Spaniards were said to have
been slain on tba field of battle. We are happy,to
be enabled to contradi6 this statement. The truth
is, that at the time when the action was supposed
to have ooeurred, the gallant Marquis. was on his
march to relieve his countrymen in Gallicia, and yCS-
terday fortnight the division of his forces the nearest
to Portugal ,wati at least
.120 miles distant &gin the
place assigned for the conflitl. Theannexed letter
was written on the e4l h 'ult. to a Gentleman then on
board the Bonne" Ciluyinhe, in attendance off the
Bay of Gijon, and Which arrived here after a short
passage of five days. It states the divisions pi which.
General ilomat4a's army consisted, their (iiurtert,
and the success with which their -operations had beep
attended. .

" Don Panto ZULAIRER has this moment re=
ceived a letter from his brother the (faker in 'Oviedo,
informing him that last night artived therea Captain
of LA ROMANA'S army, a division of which would
liai ( List night Cangas de Finey' anothe.r of 18,000
men at yittafratica 4el liierro, and the last of said
