ADDISCOM SENIINAItY.

The CHAIRM AN then proposed, that the Court
do agree to a Resolution 'adopted by the Court
of Directors, appointing a Master at the Addis-
combe Seminary, to teach the' Company's Stu-
dents the science of Military Surveying, at a
salary cf 300/. a-year.
Mr. JJtTME said he had heard that this appoint-
ment, so far from entailing additional expense
upon the Company, would create a saving of
5001. a year.
The CHAIRMAN replied, that such would be

•
the result upon comparing the tuition accounts
for the same study, with the amount of the pro-
posed salary to -a professor.
Mr. Ilv3tE said,' that by the accounts be ob-
served an item of 3501. paid f€ teaching military
science of one kind to four cadets, and also 5001.
for teaching the science of sapping and mining to
four others. Would the proposed professor teach
both sets of pupils ?
The CHAIRMAN replied 'n the negative; the
sapping and mining expense would still be in-
curred.

Mr. Ilan E said he was then at a loss to see how
the saving alluded to was to be effected. He
was one of those, who, so far from wishing to
restrict the military education of the cadets, ra-
ther thought it ought to be extended and render-
ed more effective. He thought it disgraceful that
their cadets should, in so many instances, go out

to India, utterly unacquainted with. the lan-
guage of the native troops over whom they were
placed. It was of the first importance that ca-
dets should make themselves fully acquainted
with the native language ; the want of this know-
ledge they would feel in the severest manner,
when they came to superintend troops with whom
they had no means of conversing in their native
tongue.—(Hear, hear !)-
The establishment of the new professors at
Addiscombe seminary was then agreed to.
LOYAL ADDRESS.

Mr. LOIV N DRS gave notice that at the next
Court he would propose a loydriddre-§s to the
King, unless the same subject was taken up by
some other gentleman more competant to do it
justice. He meant that the address should steer
quite clear of any allusion to the late unfortun-
ate trial of her Majesty,.—The Court then ad-
journed.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when the undermentioned
Commanders took leave of the Court previous to
departing for their respective destinations, viz. :
Captain T. LARKINS, Marquis- Camden, for
Bombay and China ; Captain C. S. TIMINS,
Royal George, for ditto; Captain W. CRUICK-
Farquharson., for ditto ; BaRRA-
DAILE, Inglis, for ditto Capt. J. PATERSON,
Repulse., for St.. Helena, BeacQolen, and china.

The. Earl of DEttny is making very extensive
alterations and additions to his noble mansion of
Knowsley. All the ancient part of it is to be
pulled down and replaced by a large and magni-
ficent structure, erected in a style to correspond
with the other part of the stru•cture, and finished
in the best taste of modern accommodation.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSIIM AUDE_IT?

LONDON,
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1820.

MR. CANNING.—We are too well acquainted
with Newspaper reports, however respectable
the sources may be, to depend upon them on any
occasion ; but we can confidently assure our
readers that they may rely on that which has
announced the resignation of that Gentleman, a
fact that has certainly, taken place. We cannot
with equal authority vouch for the name of his

successor.

The ANSWER of His MAJESTY to the Address
of the Common Council has naturally given
offence to the City Politicians, but it has I een
satisfactory, as far as we can learn and are able to
judge, to all loyal subjects and raticnal men.
The Address itself vas a gross insult to the
Crown, and it could not be supposed, except by
those whose minds are heated by Party, that His
MAJESTY would receive it with tame submission.
Such a reception would be utterly repugnant to
that manly spirit which has always characterized
the House of 13nuNswicK, and would have been
wholly unsuitable to the dignity of the Throne.—
His MAJESTY has surely a right to choose his
own Ministers, and to dismiss them when 'he
ph,ases.—The People, through the proper organs
' of the Constitution, have equally a right to state
their grievances ; but it is their duty -te state
distinctly the causes of those grievances, and,
when injurious measures have really been adopt-
ed, to- censure those measures ; but shall
a few individuals, who have long been no-
toriously hostile to all the proceedings of
Government,. of whatever nature and ten-
dency, presume to insult his MAJESTY by such
declarations as imply that he has no judgment of
his own,and not leave to him a discretionary power
to act according to the sentiments of his own mind
and the suggestions of his Constitutional Advisers ?
We are as anxious. to support the rights of the.
People as any of those Demagogues whose mea-
sures, whatever their intentions and purposes
may be, only tend to disturb the peace of the
Empire, and to plunge the Gefernment into the

dept is of 6.narciip, ruin, and perhaps a rn:litarl
Despotism, of which those very Demagogues
would be victims, in common with the rest of
their fellotsubjects. What we hive now said i 7
not intended to offer any comment'on the Pro-
ceedinzs of Ministers either ink their, favour. or
agaltist them, but 10 vindicate the rights of the
SOVEREIGN and to suhAt the honour of the
Throne. We ought not to conclude without re'
ferring to the Address' from the Inhabitants of
Edinburgh, which will be found in another part
of our Paper this day, and which speaks the
largnage-, of respectful loyalty, without servile
homage, and is certainly very different from the
Address of the Common Council, or rather the
leaders of the., Common Council, of London, that

so naturally excited a- becoming spirit of repre•
hension on the part of an insulted Monarch.

We received last night and this morning the
Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday last.—The

following are extracts :

Mr. CANNING yesterday left town for Norfolk/

There is not the slighte.st foundation for tll',

STEW ART as Ambassador at the Court of Viernw
His Lordship, we again repeat, has no intention
of returning to England.—(Morning Post.) •
Some of the KING'S horses were sent off 3,,;e''

ESTY'S leaving Carlton Palace
.for the rasilieo7
to spend the Christmas holidays. Princess Ara'

• The report of the KING'S illness having heel'
revived, we have again to state that his MAJEs“
is in excellent health. About a fortnight 41
he had a cold, hut no dangerous symptoms at'
i
tended it, and his MAJESTY was soon relieve°
from it.
The advices from St. Petersburgh, by the last
arrivals, are of the 24th ult. It had been kilo'
g'ned that the Emperor ALEXANDER would have
inflicted a very severe punishment on the refract
' tory troops, in order that the example set by theft'
might not lead to the manifestation of the revo
lutiouary spirit so prevalent in .different parts or';
Europe. Be has, however, dealt generously an°
leniently with them, having • issued an order
merely that ,the regiment should be disbanded'
It would probLib!y have beili impossible to have
passed a severe sentence on one portion. of 60
troops, without in.-lUding the remainder, cow
listing of persons of the first families in Russia/
whose- influence was too powerful to be opposed'
The commercial letters mention that the naviga,
tion had closed for the winter, inconsequence 0
the hard frosts.
