• s INDIA TINAICCE. 4 ' • 4 •
Mr. CREEVEY adverted to the India Account,
and lamented that it should be so imperfect ; and it
was the more to be regretted, as the time drew nigh
when the House would be called upon to decide whe-
ther tht system of 1793 was to be continued. He
expressed his hope that the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer would make no agreement with the Company
for the renewal of their charter, in the present state of
darkness ; and he also hoped that the House would.
not be called upon to do any thing precipitately. 'He
then moved that the account be printed.

Mr. DUNDAS observed, that he agreed ent:rely
with the Hon. Gentleman, that the Government
ought not to give any pledge to the Company, nor
call upon the House to decide, till it had got every
possible inforMation. That the papers were not all
arrived 'was no fault of the Directors.
Sir JOHN ANSTRUTHER confessed that the
India Expenditure was at present somewhat above
'their income • but this was owing to the wars, a cir-
cumstance which added every year to the debt of this
country.—The Account was then ordered to be print.

The REDPOLE brig, which has arrived at Plymouth
from the Rochefort station, has :)roughs intelligence
that the AMELIA and STATIRA frigates have taken, on
the coast of Spain, a French ship, a brig, and a cor-
vette, all from Corunna, and richly laden with dollars,
and gold and silver plate—a part of the plunder col-
lected by the French in Spain.—The vessels have not
yet arrived, but are hourly expected.
It was reported yesterday afternoon that accounts
had been received from Plymouth, by Telegraph,
announcing that the French were preparing to eva-
cuate the whole of the North of Spain. In the pre-
sent state of their affairs, both in Spain and Germany,
such an event is not improbable ; but we have net
been able to ascertain that such intelligence has been
actually received. We believe, how ever, that accounts
have been received of their having quitted Santander,
which has been once more re-occupied by the Spa-
niards—an event which might easily give rise to the,
above rumour.

It was expected that the Spanish frigate, the Alge%
siras, would take her departure yesterday. M. CE-
vALLos, we are happy to announce, will postpone his
return to Spain, contrary to his intention,.whick was,
to leave England by that opportunity. 'The Alge-
siras is provided with abundance of cloathit% Or the
use of the native army, with saddles for the...cavalry,
and ammunition of every description ; but we are
sorry to add not with muskets, which we consider
most essential at the present season for the purposes
of our Allies.

' We mentioned yesterday a statement given in a
letter of the 11th instant, from Varel—that a report
had reached that place of the Austrians having gained
another victory over the French.-•. This rumour is
mentioned in several private letters brought by a
smuggling vessel, which: left Flushing on the evening
Of Thursday last. Some of these letters state; that-
the French had been'drivess 1.9 leagues from Vienna.
It was also reported last night, that the Archduke
CHARLES had passed the Danube at Lintz, in order ,
to attack the French, who were on the retreat. •

A letter from Heligoland of the 13th says The
day before yesterday it was reported at Cuxhaven,
that the French Minister at Harnburgh had left that
place ; the artillery, &c. were embarked at Cuxhaven,
feltritrl of an expedition from England arriving."
—This letter contains also a statement of the less
sustained by the enemy in the battle of the 21st and
22d ult. almost in the same terms as we gage it yes.

We shall hate great pleasure in being enabled to
'confirm these reports, but at present they fess on, no
proper authority.
