STATE OF INDIA DEBT.

Mr. HOWORTH, in rising to move for an Ac-
count of the State of the Debt of the East India
Company, observed, that the Debt could not be
considered purely an Indian Debt, as long as the
Company stated that they could not go on paying
the claims upon them in this country without the
assistance of Parliament. It must, on the contrary,
he presumed to be a debt for which this country was
liable► He concluded by moving for an Account of
the Amount of all Loans made by the Company in
India from Ist May, 1798, to 14th May, 18t18, dis-
tinguishing what part of the same had been paid off,
what. part had been commuted, and what part was
now outstanding, demandable in England.
Mr. WALLACE had no objection to the motion,
which was accordingly agreed to.
Mr. PA Ltd RR'S compensation Bill was agreed to.—Adjourned.
at,' The Bill to double the Tax upon every kind of Leather is
fixed to be read the first time on Monday next.

The LORD NELSON packet has arrived with an
Anholt Mail, after a tedious passage of 13 days. She
has on board Count De BRUM and Count WINTE-
MESUA, with despatches from Sweden, said to be of
great imponance. Hostilities have not yet com-
menced in Poland, but BONAPARTE is stated to have
arrived at Dantzic. The French armies as well as
the inhabitants in the North, suffer dreadfully from
disease and famine. The German troops desert to
the Russian armies in great numbers. The report
of the death of Count ROMANZOW is contradicted in
the letters from Anholt.

The Letters from Gottenburgh are to the 9th inst.
—They mention disputes between the French and
Prussian soldiers, which have already been produc-
tive of personal quarrels among the officers and va.
rious arrests, and which seem to threaten still more
important consequences.

" GOTrINBURGH, JUNE 9.

gg Letters from Carlsham say, that the Prussian
and French soldiers are continually cmarrelling.—
An affray lately took place at Pillau, where the
Commandant, who is a Prussian, arrested several of
the French officers. Prince Eckmuhl and another
French General are sent to investigate the business.
It is also said that the Prussian soldiers have declared
their intention to desert the first opportunity, on ac-
count of bad treatment and scarcity of provisions.--
The ill usage they have experienced from General
Regnier, has caused a duel between him and the Prus-
sian General l'Estoe, in which the former was shot
dead. - •
ct The convoy, consisting of upwards of 100 ships,
yesterday proceeded'for the Baltic, escorted by his
Majesty's ships Cressy, Crescent, and Briseis. A
convoy from Leith yesterday arrived, under protec-
tion of his Majesty's ship Snake.—Ships with colo-
nial produce are admitted into any of the Prussian
ports, provided they are half laden with rice, and
only half the ConUaental

" If an Officer shall be wounded in action, and it shall appear
upon an inspection made of him by the Army Medical Board, at
any period not sooner than a year and a day after the time he was
wounded, that he Las in consequence of his wound lost i limb or
an eye, or has totally lost the use of a limb, or that his wound
has been equally prejudicial to his habit of body with the loss of
a limb; such *Officer shall be intitled to a Pension, commencing
from the expiration of a year and a day after the time when be
was wounded, and depending as to its amount upon the
rank he held at that period, according to tile scale annexed. This
Pension being granted as a compensation for the injurt sustained,
is to be held together with aay other Pay and Allowances to
'which such Officer may be otherwise entitled, Without any de.
auction on account thereof.

" Officers who shall have lost more than one limb or eye, shall
be entitled to the the pension for each eye or limb co lust.
" And as the Pension is not to commence till the expiration of
a year and a day front tne date of the wound, it is to be indepen-
dent of the allowance of a year's pay, or the expellees attending
the cure of wounds, granted under the existing regulations.

" Applications for this Pension are to be Made in the same
manner in which claims for the year's pay are now made to the
Secretary at War, and must always be accompanied by the Cer-
tificate of the Army Medical Board, if the Officer applying is at
home, and by that of the Principal Medical Officer on the station
where he is, if the 01ficer is abroad.

4ln the latter care, however, the Officer must, as soon as he
returns Lome, be inspected by the Army Medical Board, and
transmit their Certificate to the Secretary at War.
" All Officers who mai have sustained such an injury as
would intitle them to this Pension, by any wounds received since
the commencement of hostilities in the year 179.1, will, upon the
production of the proper Certificate from the Army Medical
Board, be allowed a Pension proportioned, according to the
scale, to the rank they held at the time when wounded, and
commencing front the 25th December, 1811.
" This allowance will be granted in general according to Re-
gimental Rank, but in cases in which, in consequence of their
Brevet Rank, Officers shall have been employed at the time when
they were wounded, in discharge of duties superior to those
attached to their Regimental Commissions, it will be given by
the Brevet Rank.
