a deternilUltioll to vote in favettr of the grant, but
he found, from the statement of the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman (Mr. Wallace) that instead of £2,500,000,
they would very soon want the aid of £6,000,000,
for the remainder of which they must come to Parlia-
ment hereafter. He thought they would have done
better to apply for the whole at once ; and could have
wished that a more bold, open, and manly manner
had been adopted ; and that the East-India Com-
pany would not place themselves in the state of men-
dicants, coming continually to Parliament in the way
they now did.
Mr. W. SMITH said, he had no doubt but the
country would always meet the Company with libe-
rality, but the House ought
.to be on their guard,
and ma to give £2,500,000 at this moment before
the terms of the renewal of the Charter were settled.
If they did so, it was clear the Company would want
£3,500,000 more ; and if the House should object
to it, the Company would perhaps say, if the House
did not agree to it, they (the Company) must he
ruined. If the country owed any thing to the East
India Company, let them come with their debt and
receive remuneration ; but while the Company pay
themselves a dividend.of 10 per cent. they ought in
justice to pay the public the intertst of this Loan.—
The Right Hon. Gentleman had said, if the settle-
ment of the Charter had come on this year, we should
have known what we were about. He (Mr.l Smith)
suspected the House would be told next year, that if
it did not lend the Company what they wanted, and
any demur should be made to granting the Charter,
as before, the Company would say we expected you
would do by us as you have heretofore done, and if
you don't, we cannot pay you.
Mr. WALLACE said, all he desired was to give
the Company the power of going on till the Charter
should be settled.

Mr. R. THORNTON said, the truth was, the
Company had advanced money to Government;—
they had had one loan which they had repaid : they
had at this moment in their warehouses, goods to the
amount of £4,700,000, and if their ships of this year
came home all safe, they would have goods amoun-
ting in value to £7,000,000.
A e;vision then took place—ln favour of the loan

Our Readers will see, ;upon a reference to our re-
port of the proceedings in the House of Commons,
that the PRINCE REGENT has superceded the necessity
of all further discussion on the subject of Colonel
M‘MAtion's salary, by directing it to be paid out of
the privy purse.—This is as it should be, and nothing
can tend to secure his ROYAL HIGHNESS more firmly
in the affections of his subjects, than a frequent repe-
tition of similar marks of respect for public opinion.
We stated yesterday, that Mr. SHERIDAN would
announce a motion for Wednesday, to give him an
opportunity of explaining his conduct in the hie for-
mation of the Ministry. He accordingly did so, and
we perceive that Lord YARMOUTH has given to that
Gentleman the merit of advising the Officers of the
Household not to resign their sltuations.—This
happened, it seems, at a place where they usually
met at night; and an appointment was made for the
next day, to confer on this advice, which appointment
Mr. SHERIDAN did not keep.

Papers were yesterday received from France of the
litt, and privite letters of the 11th instant. The
contents of the former are unimportant, but the pri-
vate communications state positively that all attempts
at negotiation with ALP-ZANDER, have totally failed.
The departure of NAPOLEON from Dresden for Posen,
is considered as the preliminary to hostilities. The
French Papers contain no' intelligence from the
•ninsula eve . the surrender of Badajoz has not been
once alluded to.
