INI)Li lIOLTAJE,

A General Court of Proprietors was yesterday
holden, being specially convened for the imrpose
of taking into. Consideration the expetitency of
applying to Parliament- for pecuniary
In conformity to a bye-law, of the pa-
pers presented to' the House of Commons was
then. .read.

The CHAIRMAM having stated the- object of,the
Meeting; moved, that a Petition be p!..,:ented to
the House of Commons, setting forto, that lare.
debts having. been contracted in the East
in carrying into execution measures of- great. :i:-l-
tional
importance, bills drawn yin India npou
the Company would become due in Januniy next,
to the amount of 2,500,0001. beyond what the
fundS disposable itithin that period would enable
tbem to discharge. The Petition therefore wer.r
on to pray, that the House wo•Ald exercise Li: it
authority to enable the• Company to raise such
pecuniary aid as might be necessary to the regu-
lar fulfilment of their financial engagements.
In- answer to a question, whether it was pro-
posed tti raise this
,sunt by 16an or by bonds, the
Clrairman replied, that he. was not able, under
the present circumstances,..to explain what the
views of the Government might be in relation to
that point. 'lt certainly bad been the inLention
of flit; late Chancellor of the„Exchequer that the
larger part should be received in the shape of a
loan, and that no increase should take place of
the bonded debt.

The proposition was then put and carried in the
affirmative. . .

As it appears that the East India Company are
obliged to apply to Goverinfient for pecueiary
notwithstanding all the onpposed profits of their
monopoly, which so many -of our Merchants an I
Manufactureis are so anxious to have terminated,
they may be induced to reflect whether an open
trade would be attended with the advantages
which they they s” sangiiinely expect. By the
printed statements of the Company, how:wer, it
appears, that the various commodities, which have
beeti sent to our Miatic settlements for many
'years have much txceeded
.the demand. If such
be the fact, and the Company contend that it can
be satisfactorily demonstrated, surely those who
wish to embark in the trade, and who cannot pos-
sess the local knowledge and experience of the
Company and their servants, would have little
chance of finding their hopes realised, if Govern-
ment were to give its full assent to all their se.-
quisitions for a free trade.
• Oh ThurSday the young Gentlemen of Eton (ac-
cording to annual custom) foceeded from Wind.-
sor to.the (most elegantly dressed), where
they' partook of a sumptuous 'supper ; the tables

and beneficent Mr. BRUCE. On their return to

works ; Mr. ALL, Mr. ..I:TAUNTON, llr. TONC •• Nr-
SE END., Lord WEYMOUTH, Lord WALsrotTRT,
and -Mr. DRENVE, were sutlers. Among tat;

and SELF:, Hon. J. LUNILLY, :'sir. and Mrs. PHIL-
LIPS, Lord ARTHUR IT'LL, Mrs. CHARLES THEL-
LUSSON, &c. e whole returned highly de-
lighted with the evening's amusement.
It is stated by a rer pectable and intell,gent Gen-
tleman, that there is not a single Cathode atnowtst
those unfortunate and misguided men who have
been tried at Lancastu for rioting.
When the late East India fleet were 'ready to sail
froth Blackwall; several Revalue went on
board to examine them ; in one there ryas a very
handsome chariot, which excited the suvicion of
the .Officers, • who, on cutting the-lining, found,
betwten the stuffing, and pannels, 'a. quantity of
guineas, which, on inquiry, appeared to have been
destined for. Madeira, and not for the East Indies.
Thocarriage and guineas were lodged in the Cus-
tom House.
