the Elections.
The Duchesses of Arrootarwe and Exam are at

EDUCATION 07 CADETS.
Mr. RANDLE JACESON rose to MOVE 'fot .the pro.
doction of some papers, with a view. lie'said; to a
motion which `lie proposed to bring forward after
Christmas, for extending the principle upon' which
Cadets were educated at home audio India. Ac-
carding to the principle of the Military Sainnary at
Addiacombe,'which was instituted in 1809, education
was afforded only to Cadets for the coma of engineers
And artillery ; but according to the spint of the Re-
solution of the General Court in 1809, he was deci-
dedly of opinion that that principle should be en-
larged—that it should comprehend the whole service.
For it was highly important that every young Gen-
tleman vent out in this department of the C.onspany's
Wl* should be properly educated, especially Mob.
the nature of the command. and authority with which
even the most subordinate Officers were occasionally
invested in India Such an education would, he was
assured, confer a blessing upon India and an honour
Upon this country. But no Gentleman should be
[Mai out in the Company's service without having hid
,at least an opportunity of knowing the constitution
of his country, and also the constitution and character
of the country in which he was to hold a Flees of
*responsibility and power. Such, be bad no doubt,
was the general impression of those who had applied
ebeir thoughts to the subject, and he was happy to
learn that the Court of Directors had already en-
larged the principle of the Institutional Addiscombe.
was also happy to learn that this enlargement
had created no excess whatever, of expenditure, and
that this Institution furnished the singular instance
of an establishment in which ;he average expense did
not exceed the original estimate. From such judicious
management, and from the countenance which the
conduct of the Court of Directors afforded to his
views, be felt moo:aged to calculate upon the sue.
ass of his motion, which he would postpone until
after Christmas, because the latter peiiud specified is
his motion would not sooner expire, and because,
from the nature of his object, there was no iLczt:
for particularly hastening its adoption. The
.Gentleman concluded with moving for copies of the
estimates and aviroaxnexpense of educating Cadet!
fa India and in d for seven years; ending at
;he close of 1809, and also for the succeeding seven
ars.
Mr. RemD, the Chairman, observed, that no objec-
tion whatever was felt to the Learned Gentlemen's
motion,within the bar, nor could he apprehend any
objection without.
The motion was adopted without a dissenting voice.

East India House, when the following ships wale

The following is an extract of a letter from Lieut.
Joint MONK, of his Majesty's phip the Impregnable,
to his father, Mi. W. Moan, of Parkgate:
impregnable, Algiers, August 28.
u OF course, ere this you have had an account of
our attack on Algiers: but-to have seen the steady
determined manner with which our noble and gallant
crew, performed their duty, on taking our station,
was glorious; and during the dreadful conflict, to use
the words of the immortal Nasson, 6 every man did
his duty.' Our ship commenced firing at half past
two, and did not ceaie until eleven. Dreadful was
our lou : masts, yards, and hull cut through and
ditougb. It was most wonderful, none of our Offi-
cers were killed : one cruel shot dashed me and 14
trove fellows down: I was wounded in the knee,
'though not mentioned in-the return ;-and as soon as
I recovered, and cleansed my eyes from the blood, I.
found ten of my pliant comrades cut to atoms ; but
thank GOD, I am not disabled from doing my duty' I
After the, firing ceased, it took us the remainder ot
the night to get our poor shattered ship out. But,
good Gott! as daylight appeared, what a horrldand
dreadful sight our deck presented, covered over with
our dead and wounded comrades, as fine and gallant
a body of seamen u ever stepped on a ship's deck.
The clsaring of the cock-pit fell to my lot, a descrip.
don of which I cannot give you.4*—r-It is said the Dey
of ALOIS= held our fleet in great contempt, saying,
that Algiers formerly, when not so well prepared for
defence, beat thirty sail of Spanish line-of.battle ships.
Why then fear five English line.of.battle ships ? But I
believe we rather astonished him. The slaughter on
the enemy's side is immense. Ws expended on board
the Ampregnab/e, out ot our store ot 500 barrels of
powder, 480 barrel.; Thorsen off Trafalgar, dread-
fun asit was, bore no comparison to this t that lasted
only three hours and a half—.ibis upwards of eight
hours"
