EAST INDIA HOUSE.

An adjourned General Court of Proprietors of East India Stith
was held yesterday, at the Company's Home, in Leadenhall-street.

LORD AIIHRRST.
In answer to a questioo from the Hon. Locums Scainsers,
The CSIAIILKAII stated. that no proposition for the recall of Lopl
Amherst, and the appointment of the Marquis of Hastings, or the
Marquis Wellesley, to the situation of Governor-General of India,
bad been made to, or entertained by, the Court of Directors.

RUDE PAPERS.
A letter from Sir John Doyle to the Court of Directors, request-
ing that they would postpone, to a future day, the consideration of
the Dude papers, as he was, from illness, unable to attend for the
purpose of bringing forward his promised motion, was read.
Mr. Home moved that the discussion be postponed to this day
fortnight —The motion was agreed to.

INSTRUCTION IN HINDOOSTANBIL
Mr. HUMS, in a speech of great length, dweribed
the ignorance of the Hindoostanee language which al.
most universally prevails amongst European officers is
India. He described the evil consequence which that
ignorance must of necessity produce, and pointed oat
the inonence advantage which would result from mak-
ing it a sine quo non, that all cadets going out to India,
should undeige an examination, and prove that they
were instructed, to a certain extent in that language,
before their appointment was made out. No less than
217,0001. had been expended on Hailebury College, and
these was, on an average, 53,000/. per annum et-
pended in India, on the education Of their civil servants.
Now it was equally important that their military ser-
vants should also be educated ; and he would wader.
take, fur 5001. to instruct all the Cadets, who were an-
nually sent out to India, in the Hindoostanee language.
In conclusion, the Hon. Proprietor moved a resolution,
recommending to the Cosa of Directors to take the
subject of imparting a knowledge of Hindoostanee to
the Company's Cadets, into their most amities con-
sideration.

Dr. OmenMs: seconded the motion.
• Sir J. &weld. stated his conviction, that the Direetnrs4ifoald
of their own free will, do everything that was necessary.
Mr. RANDLI JACKSON, Mr. S. DIZON, and Mr. Wins 44 a
few words in opposition to the motion.
Captain 3laxwitt.t. and Sir C. FORM supported the motion.
the Defuty Chairman (Sir G. ROBINSON), had lit.
tened very attentively to all that had fallen in the
course of the debate, and would conk ss, that it ap-
peared to him that the advantages proposed to be
derived from such a measure were greatly overbalanced
by the disadvantages. He gave credit to the Honour-
able Mover for the best mo ives: but it certainly
appeared strange, that all his speech seem d to be for
the purpo.e of tecomm r.ding one individual to the
notice of the Court.

After a short desultory conversation, the motion was pot and
negatived by a considerable majority.
Mr. Hums then made a series of motions for paper., Stu all
tending to the sante point, but they wire all uniformly rejected by
the Court.

We have received pipers and letters from Buenos
Apes, to the 10th of November. A decree pissed the
Congress of the Rio de la Plata federation on
.the-.27:b
of October, authorising the national Goveinment to
negotiate 4 loan of from nine to ten millions of dollars,
about 2,000,0001. sterling, the Government- being re-
quired at the same time to submit to the approbation
of Congress the basis of the proposed negotiation,
These papers communic.ite no new events front the
seat of war in the Bauchi Oiiental. A schooner priva-
teer, mounting 10 guns and 110 men, had sailed from
Buenos Ayres, under a license from the Independent
Government of the Banda Oriental, to cruise against
the Brazilian flag. The crew of this vessel is said to
consist principally of English and American despera-
does. 13y a courier arrived at Buenos Ayres from
Chili, it was ascertained that some changes in the Mi-
nistry had occurred in that Republic on the Bth of
Oe-
tuber. The follok.ing are given as the names of the
'newly appointed Ministers—Don JOAQUIN CAMPINO,
for the interior and Foreign Relations; Don Dime
'Jost BUNIVENTI, for Finance; and Colonel Don
Joan MARIA Novon, for the War Department. The
number of the Argos which announces this news doss
not communicate any of the events which led to the
change, but states that tranquillity and good order had
suffered no interruption in the Republic, and that the
new Administration would follow a course of policy
likely to procure them popularity. Accounts from
