Governor General, on Thursday next, the 8th instant, will be performed. Box one Gold Mohur. Pit eight Sicca Rupees. Doors to be opened at six, and the Play to begin exactly at seven. At Hays's Printing Office. Jamaica Rum, Cognac and Bordeaux Brandy, Raspberry ditto, Gin in Cases, Porter in casks and bottles, above three hundred Current Rupees, be paid their allowances with a certificate bearing interest at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, from the day on which the allowances for which it was granted became payable. Those stationed in the Revenue Department are to receive their certificates from the accountant general to that Department; those stationed in the Commercial Department are to receive their certificates from the Board of Trade, and all the other covenanted civil servants of the Company are to receive their certificates from the civil paymaster; all these certificates are to be previously registered in the general register to be kept in the accountant general's office. The following is the form in which the certificates are to be granted. Fort-William for current rupees. These are to certify that the Honourable the United Company of Merchants of England, trading to the East Indies are indebted unto A. B. in the sum of current rupees, which will be paid with interest at the rate of eight per cent. per annum, from the date thereof conformably to the regulations established by the orders of the Honourable the Governor General and Council of the 20th December 1785, for discharging the demands on the treasury, according to priority of date. Fifth. That all persons employed by or receiving pensions from the Company, not covenanted servants, whether Europeans or natives, and drawing monthly either from the Civil, Revenue, or Commercial Departments above three hundred current rupees, be paid with these certificates, which are to be granted at any of the offices before mentioned according to the department from which realized this expectation ere that period has elapsed. The Board also trust that the regulations hereby ordered, cannot fail to secure the great public objects of preventing in future all partial payments, of discharging the arrears of the army, of providing the most regular and speedy liquidation of the claims on Government, and thereby reducing the discount now demanded in the negotiation of paper and removing the difficulties that impede its circulation. The Races on Friday last, afforded very little sport. Four horses started: Mr. Antory's chestnut horse, Paddy Whack. Captain Gordon's grey horse, Blicker. Mr. Aresty's ditto, Merry Wag. Mr. Yeat's dun horse, Ghost. The two first run out of the course the first heat. Merry Wag fell lame, and Ghost had only to walk round the course the second heat. The course was by no means in good order. It was several inches thick with dust, and under the dust were concealed a great number of holes. It is hoped more attention will be paid to these defects before the next race; or it is impossible to expect any entertainment. A match was afterwards run between Mr. Yeat's mare, Magpie, and Captain Gordon's mare, Mrs. Flurt, which was won by the former. Two Tattoos afterwards started, which afforded some diversion. As Newmarket in England is as celebrated for the Horse Race, as the Circus at Rome was of old for that of the Chariot, a Correspondent who has the honor of the Turf much at heart, expresses great mortification at the poor figure our Races cut on Friday evening. Not a syllable was heard to cheer the heart of the sportsman of great, great another point of view. Bread and beer are the necessaries of life in England; milk and potatoes those of Ireland; from whence it appears that it is their luxury, and not their poverty, that disables the people of England to bear more taxes. For, if they would live as the inhabitants of Ireland, and reduce their annual expense from 10 pounds to 2 pounds 10 shillings, the annual expense of the nation would decrease from eighty millions to twenty, which would make a saving of sixty millions a year. So that the whole national debt would be paid off, if the people would but consent to live but two or three years as the people of Ireland are condemned to live perhaps for ever. Madras Intelligence.

January 1st, 1786. Of the Committee of the British Inhabitants, I beg leave to acquaint their constituents, that the Petitions which they have prepared to His Majesty and the two Houses of Parliament, will be open for signing at the Harmonic House, on Tuesday and Wednesday, until the 15th instant, when they will be finally withdrawn, and transmitted to Europe. January 1st, 1786. Messrs. Paxton, Cockerell, and Delisle, having received advices by the Surprise Packet of the safe arrival of Mr. Paxton, beg leave to inform their Friends, that their House of Agency which is extended to Europe, is now established in London under the firm of William Paxton and Co. They take the liberty of soliciting the support of their Constituents in Europe, as well as in Bengal, assuring them, and such Gentlemen as may honor them with their Commands, that the most punctilious attention will be paid to their Orders and Instructions. No expense or trouble will be spared by Mr. Paxton, in transmitting the earliest and most correct information of the state of the markets in England for the produce of this country, or in furnishing them with such European goods as they may want to adjust their commercial affairs. No endeavor shall be wanting to deserve the favorable opinion of those Gentlemen with whose commands he may be honored, and they shall be happy if they prove successful therein. Paxton, Cockerell, and Delisle. ...initiating them into the mysteries of Mahomed, by one of the worst methods that he could possibly espouse—force—absurdly conceiving that by such means he will add to the number of his sect; little supposing that hereditary habits cannot be destroyed, even by the hand of tyranny; that in spite of the despot's will, men's consciences will be free from restraint; and that their sentiments, however concealed, will be subject to their feelings. He seems, however, to act in one particular under the dictates of good sense, and that is, a determined resolution to live in peace and amity with the English nation. The timely and eligible plan that the Government of Madras have entered into, of keeping their troops in large bodies properly equipped for action on the shortest notice, will ensure, it is to be hoped, that tranquility which has so long been wished for by the miserable inhabitants of this ill-fated country. Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, May 10. The situation of this country is but little known on your side the water, if I may judge from the indiscreet credits which are daily given to the Americans. Having resided for some years in the middle states, I can fully inform you of the real state of things in this country. As soon as peace was restored, the American Merchants, who are an enterprising set of people, began to establish credit in every country of Europe where they could procure it. The British Merchants favored their views beyond their most sanguine expectations, and trusted them to an immense amount; other countries did it in a less liberal manner. The spirit of adventure seized a great number of foreigners, who speculated in various projects... ...grandsires or grandams of the powerful delegate, by which all the horses that ran against him were nowhere. There no pedigree as long as the Tree of descent of a Polish Nobleman was to be met with. In truth, British Asia seems to be no great friend to heraldry, and it is very much feared that the horses of the East will never have their victories in the field recorded by the erection of monuments, as Lysias gives us to understand was not uncommonly the case with those of the Romans. It has been a remark made by many political Writers, that the people of England are never so happy as when they imagine themselves on the brink of ruin. A dispassionate stranger reading the late English Papers is struck with astonishment at how England can support herself under such enormous Taxes, declining Trade, and party animosities as he there finds recorded; whereas had he resided any time in England, he would have known that there were little or no grounds for drawing such melancholy pictures of distress. He would see the man of Trade, who exclaimed that all commerce was at an end, and who poured out such a torrent of invective against Mr. Pitt for a petty Tax upon his shop, defraying with great pleasure the expense of a Bal Paré, a Box at an Opera House, or a turtle Feast—in short, living with all the parade of a coronet; he would observe the monied man probably giving thirty or forty years purchase for an estate, who but the moment before was growling against the insecurity of property in that miserable Island. Thus, if England is undone, it is the most splendidly ruined nation of any in the world; and... ...as they are due. This rule is to be extended to the persons receiving monthly stipends at Moorshedabad, and to the Moshaira of the Zemindars, excepting the restored Zemindars, who are to receive paper without interest. Sixth. That all surgeons and assistant surgeons not stationed with the army, and drawing above three hundred current rupees per month, be paid their allowances with these certificates. Seventh. That all Covenanted Servants and other persons drawing monthly three hundred current rupees or less than that amount shall from the 31st January 1786 be paid in cash. Eighth. That the arrears which may be due in the Civil, Commercial, and Revenue Departments on the 31st January 1786 be discharged with certificates bearing interest at the rate of 8 per cent per Annum from the dates on which the respective sums were payable; and that those persons who are still in possession of treasury transfer drafts which they have taken for their allowances be permitted to exchange them for certificates bearing interest from the dates on which they became payable. The benefit of this last clause will not be allowed to those who do not make application for their certificates before the 15th February next. Ninth. That none of the certificates shall on any pretense whatever be received by either of the officers of government as Cash, but shall be regularly discharged in common with the Company's other paper in the order in which they were issued.

The Governor General's agent at Lucknow and the Resident at Benares are prohibited from making their remittances to Calcutta in bills, without a clause stipulating under a penalty that such bills will be discharged in Calcutta.

That from and after the 31st January 1786, the difference between the monthly receipts in cash, and the established and unavoidable issues of it, for the public service conformable to these regulations shall be applied to the regular discharge of the paper in circulation according to priority of date, in the terms of the advertisement of the 20th instant. The Governor General and Council confidently hope that all the paper now in currency will be paid off in the course of twelve months. The amount of the reductions which they have made in the established charges of the government, aided by the effects of these regulations and the additional resources which are to be derived from the upper provinces, will in all probability have achieved this equal to their wishes. Red French Claret, Salad Oil, etc. Apply to Capt. Nimmo. All creditors of the said Capt. [illegible] are requested to send the same to Messrs.

Calcutta, Dec. 15th, 1785. If its merchants are all beggars, there are not such beggars in any other part of the globe. A correspondent observes that those wiseacres, who pretend that it is impossible for England to prevent Ireland from being totally unconnected with it, should the latter kingdom think a revolution of the sort eligible, show themselves totally ignorant of the riches and resources of each country to wage war against the other. It is held as a general opinion that the inability of the English to counteract the measures of the Irish arises from their national debt, and the heavy taxes they pay in consequence. Now the expenses of every inhabitant of Great Britain from the King to the beggar, is estimated at 10£. per head; those of Ireland do not exceed 2£. 10s. Computing then Great Britain at eight millions of inhabitants, and Ireland at two, the consumption of the one is eighty millions, of the other only five; so that Great Britain spends, and consequently has sixteen times as much property as Ireland. The taxes of the one country is well known not to exceed more than eight times those of the other, and of course the Irish suffer on that score as much, if not more, than the English, because their means of paying them are sixteen times less. But to take matters in productions and manufactures of their respective countries: some of them succeeded, which encouraged others, insomuch that all these causes have operated towards creating the greatest number of goods that ever was known in any place. Competition naturally arises betwixt the settlers, which produces very low prices, generally beneath the first cost. Remittances must be made for their goods; but the annual produce of the country does not amount to one third of the importations. Specie must be had recourse to for that purpose, which the new states are at present entirely drained of. This occasions unspeakable embarrassments in the negotiation of business, by creating a great dearth of a circulating medium; as paper money is banished from the general want of confidence that exists, arising from the immense losses sustained by its depreciation during the war. The small quantity of produce, to remit it, when compared with the demand, has occasioned it to rise to an enormous price. Those who had the preservation of their former credit at heart, purchased it notwithstanding. The event has been, that on the receipt of their account sales, many of them have experienced a loss of 50 per cent on Tobacco. It cannot be expected that these people will remit again in the same article, as such losses must end in ruin. [illegible]
