FRIDAY, 1, 1 8 It".

A long and i, terestbig debate - took place yester-

day, at the East India-House,-upon the subje& of the
renewal of the Company's Charter. It will be seen,
that the trade to the East-is, under certain and very
considecablerPstrittions, to be thrown open, and the
British-Merchants are now io he admitted to a parti-
cipation of that trade, which the Americans and other
neutrals have so long shared with the Company. With
out entering into any abstract discussion upon advan-
tages or disadvantages of monopolies, in a commercial
point of view, we can state, upon the unquestion-
able evidence of fags, that nor only the individuals
composing the Company, but the Public, have
derived very great advantages, both of a com-
mercial and political nature, from the excite.
sive Charter granted to the Company. Whe-
ther, if the inhabitants of this country had
been allowed to carry on an open trade with
the natives of the East, greater advantages might
not have resulted, it is now impossible to de-
determine, and useless to discuss. °The other nations
of Europe established Companies to carry on the
trade to the East, and granted to them monopolies
more or less siria. Toe policy adopted by the Bri-
tsh was not a singular one. But the
system which was necessary to foster an infant trade
to the East, can no longer be persevered in now
that trade has attained full maturity and vigour.
The trade of the East has increased to an extent to
which the capital of the Company, great as it is, is
not adequate ; and though at the last renewal of
the Charter, a small portion of private trade was
granted to the Merchants, yet it became impossible
to keep foreigners trom sharing it.---Instead of fac-
tories in the East, we hate acquired provinces; our
settlements for the eurposesolcommerce haveswelled
ireo a mighty Empire, of which the Company can
neither supply the wan ts,nor carry off the productions.
Tile natural consequence has been, that the surplus
trade of the. Company. has tallen into the hands of
Neotrals, and the Americans only had lait year 400
vesselsemployed in it. But the most serious part of the
mischief is, not that Neutrals have obtained a por-
tion of our Eastern trade, but that they have carried
it on with British capital ; that some of our tiler-
charts have become interested in the success of
Nentrals ; that their prejudice; and their feelings
have gone with the Couniry under whose flag their
capitol has been employed, rather than with
that ill which the capital has been acqaired. Un-
der these circumstances we cannot but rejoice
that that surplus portion of trade which the
Company cannot carry on is to be thrown
open to our Merchants. We shall take another op-
portunityof adverting to the rest tiaions under which
it is to be conducted. The exclusive trade to China
is to remain with the Company.

_ Letters have been received from Paris of the 291.11
ult. which state that BUONAPARTE had not quitted
that capital. They confirm the accounts which had
previously reached us of the great scarcity of 'bread
in Fiance.

The Levers by the last Anholt Mail state, that
French troops ale in every direction advancirY,
towardi the frontiers of Rus►ian Poland, and it is

cUntidently stated, that the Prussian troops have
joined those.Of BUONATARTE. The Russian army
i. stated to amount to 200,000 men, and is to be
cmunanded by Generals BARCLAY DE TOLLY, BEN-
NTG:,EN, and Aamrctur. The Emperor ALEX..
-ANDER will take the field himself.

Wednesday afternoon the Duke of CLARENCE ar-
rived at Windsor Castle, on a visit to the QUEEN,
ntlCl remained there all night. Yesterday morning
his Royal Highness left WindSor, in his curridge and
foup tur 'Maidenhead.

The QUEEN, Frific'eSSeS ELIZABETH and MARY
took an ailing to Frogmore.
rue same day Princesses AUGUSTA and SOPHIA
took an airing on horseback.
Marquis of HUNTLY left town yesterday
morninglo superintend the embarkation of his gal-
lant regiment (the 42d), which is ordered iminedi-
aiely to Portugal.

The Second Battalion of the 8 Ist is to embark for
Pon ugal forthwith. The First Battalion of this fine
regiment is upwards of 1200 strong.
Mr. BKTTY, we undetstand, is positively engaged
Its next season at Covent-garden Theatre. This
ci•cuinitance, we conceive, is by no meianscalcu-
lattd to ailay the differences which are said to pre-
vail between Mr. KENIELE and his brother Propie-
tors.

George Srti;th and Fiarinigan, who attempted an
escape. from Cierkenwe.ll Prison recently, were arm-
ed with luadrd pistols, but they had no chance of
resistance.

The report of movements in the enemy's fleet in
the Scheldt, is not without fonuda.ion. The ltips,of
wAr that were at Antwerp have come down to
Flushing, but wheiher for the purpose of coming
out is not known. Sir RICHAMD STR A Cif AN., in
the San Domingo, 74 guns, and Lord A. BEAU-
CLERK, sailed from the Downs on Wednesday, ..for
the station off Flushing ; and Admital YOUNG is
expecied to leave town in a day or two, to assume
the chief command.
. Extra6t of a. Private Letter from 'Lisbon, dated
March 24.—" Lord Wellington is now„ determined
to act on' the offeniive.• Gen. Hill, with his diyision,
has pushed on as far as Almarez, near whicti
it is understood that Marmont means to unite all his
forces, so that in a short time you may expect some
severe blows. General Graham has passed the Gua-
diana, and taken up a position rather to the South-
ward, which is designed as a support, should it be
necessary. The Portuguese Regiment of Algarve,
On passing the Guadiana, found the bridges not quite
ready for their passage, and rather than wait, they
swam across, and volunteered to lead their compa-
nions on any enterprize against the enemy. Clonel
Trent has entered Spain to the Northward, with
5000 Portuguese Militia, and those joined by the
Spaniards in that quarter, will prevent the French
sending troops to the South."
The following Letters lately passed between the
Captain of one of our cruizers in the Mediterranean,
and the French General Lamarque.
The French General Lamarque was at dinner at
Calilla, when one of the shot from the Curac6a
e t through the table at which he was sitting,
and spoilt his dinner; on which he sent a flag of
truce to Captain T. with the following . notable
Letter :

" Calilla, thii.i9th fan. ISIS,

French troops I have the honour to command are
perfectly sheltered from your balls.—Now, if you
think proper to some. womah., some child, or

free to do it ; but we wilt know what we must thick

" His Majesty's Ship Curacoa,
19th lanuary, 1812.
" Sitt--In answer to the Letter wherein you
state the troops under your command are sheltered
from the cannon of his Britannic Majesty's ships,
and the inhabitants alone are sufferers, I beg to assure
you, this ruse de guerre only proves to me the effeEt
of our cannonade. Allgy me, therefore, to.'in-
form you, it is at the inteices,ion of the Spaniards
that the British are aEting—and as long as •a French-
man is visible, their cannon will. not cease to fire.

" J. T."

" To General Lamarque."
General ',marque retired speedily after the re-
ceipt of the above.

The proposed plan for raising a Fund to complete
the re-building ot Drury-Land Theatre has not been
correctly stated. In order ►o raise the full amount
of the'subscription, viz. 300,0001., it has been.pro-
posed to the subscribers to farm the property, acrd
to receive 18,0001. per annum for twenty-one
years, by which means they would of course have
six per cent, for their money, and be exempt front
the uncertainty of pr?fit or loss. On the termina-
tion of the proposed agreement the whole properly
Will revert to tire, subscribers at large. A general
meeting of subscribers is to be held for the purpose
of considering this proposition.
At the last Norfolk Agricultural Society Meeting,
Mr. Coke particularly took occasion to recommend
to the notice of Norfolk Farmers the Devon breed
of cattle, of the excellence of which he had no he-
sitation in saying his opinion was decided ;' and
being so, he thought it his ditty to recommend
them as a cattle, in which were blended the •two
qualifications of milkers and breeders. Mr. COKE
desired the company would particularly notice
the experiments he is now making. upon 610'1 At:
Holkham ; as he has lately' visited Shrotishire,
and bought several Devons there for this purpose.'
Mr. COKE also made some excellent observa-
tions upon the badness of rye-grass, and its inferi-
otity to cock's foot, and desired the Members would
pay attention to some experiments now going on at
Holkham upon these grasses. He then adverted to
the excellence of the Swedish turnip, and its
riority above the common turnip, and as every sen-
timent he delivers upon farming is-always the effect
of actual experiment, and of a judgment formed up-
on incontrovertible premises, Mr. COKE said, be had
put t 2 beasts, first to the common turnip, and then
to the Swedish : whilst they were at the common
turnip they ate each seven bushels and 281bs. of oil-
cake per day ; and whilst they vi ere at the' Swedish ,
turnip they ate each only four bushels and -1411 A. of
oil-cake.

- MANsioN-HousE.;--Yetterday- Shmud Britton
was charged before the LORD MAYOR with uttering
a forged draft upon the banking-house of Down and
Co. Bartholomew-lane. A Gentleman from the
house, with their Solicitor, attended, and produced
the forged check for 401: and explained the manner
of the prisoner's demanding payment for the coun-
terfeit draft. The prisoner, upon being called upon
for his defence, told his Lordship that he had found
the draft, and being ignorant of the nature of
checks, he had imprudently offered it for payment,
not knowing it was forged. The LORD MAYOR
told the prisoner he knew very well it was not his,
and having given no value for it, he had ❑o right to
offer it (or payment ; if it had been a good one, he
ought, on the contrary, to have taken it to the
banking-house, and told them he had found it, if
that was the cage; but at present it certainly ap-
peared much against him, and he should remand
him for further examination.
GUILDHALL-John Henley was charged with
stealing several articles, the property of Messrs. Burn
and Trust, haberdashers, in Aldermanbury, to whom
he was porter. It appeared that .the prisoner had
long been auspeEted of nefarious practices, and the
suspicions being at length confirmed, a search 'war-
rant was procured and his lodgings were searched,
where several things, the property of his employers,
were found, together with 751. in bills and cash. He
was committed for further examination.
