BY the now declared resignation of Mr. MANSHIP,
I am enabled to fulfil the intention I communicated io you

tally to every Proprietor.
Having resided eighteen years in India, and, since my return,
ich interested myself in the affairs of the Company, I feel con-
tnce in my ability to ekcharge the important duties of a Di-
tor of its concerns; to which, should I succeed by your patro-
tge, I beg to assure you of my zealous devotion to your interests,
the best proof of my gratitude :.or so distinguished a mark of

Earl GROSVENOR rose to rectify a misrepresentatios In
some publication of a speech delivered by him, in which he was
made to ascribe the death of General Anstruther to the want of
proper assistance and comforts. He had not said so, TiOr intended
to say so, and he took this opportunity of explaining what he had
said, as otherwise it was calculated to create considerable uneasi-
ness. His Lordship observed, that notwithstanding the Standing
Orders in both Houses of Parliament, the House of Commons
bad for a length of time allowed such a relasation, as to give con-
siderable facility to the publication of their discussions ; and con-
sidering the great advantage the public derived from being made
acquainted with the proceedings of their Lordships, he thought
the severity of their Standing Order might be relaxed also. At
least be hoped it would not be so strictly enforced as it had lately
been, as be thought that, in that case, misrepresentations would
be less frequent. He merely throw out these observations for the
consideration of their Lordships.
