T a MEETING of NIERCHAN I'S, MANU h FACTURFR , TRADERS, and TITHER.% interested In the EXPORT •1 RADE to INDIA and CHINA, from the PORT of LONDON, held at the City of London Tiwern, the 15th of April, 181'2, JOHN ATKINS, EN. Alderman, in 'he Cln:r . . . It was move .1 by DAVID GORDON, E.q and seconded by SUWART MARJORIRANKS, Esti ; And unanimous'y re , o:ved, • That this Meetinr, conoi-ting cf Merchants, Manufacturers, and Traders, of the port of London, who have been long tstab- Lshed in the Export Trade from thence to India and China, feel themselves cabled upon in defence of their respective properties, to state the true situation of such trade to the country at large, in order to counteract any misrepreseinxions which may have the effect of misleading the public mind upon a subject of such mag simile to the community at large, and in which their own vital bacrers are most deeply concerned. 1 hat the anxiety expresed by the various manufacturers in the provincial towns of the United Kingdom 'n regard to the quar.- tiiy of Exports to India and China, is grounded upon errollalLl4 dina, as will appear by reference to the actual export of such tna u facto rers. That it appears to this Meting from indisputable authority, eat the quautity c f tonnage masts: by the lest Imia Conmany fdr the private traders of the United Kingdom, (excluii rely of that aliowed to he exported in the pi ivilege of their own Captains . . . . and officers), mound during the linst six years to tist,ooo tons, and that during that period only "6,c00 tons of every species of Ifeetviatture (jncludiog beer snit 4.(500 tons °twine), have been Uctaalli engaged and shipped to India. Thar the fact contained in the foregoing resolution, eine ft; a gsk;isg and incontrovertible proof that the . COeirany audtbe . .2a!lic at large have been disappointed in those hopes and tepee lo3.l which led to the granting the extra tonnage, and which %induce upon the renewal of the present charier, by the desire, end at the iustance of the manufacturers, and other rrsons who pt that time expressed eimittr feeling, with respect Ws an eaten a e. export to those exhibited at the various Meetiup which have been so iecently held throughout country. • That the articles exported to India and China ate various, but lot ettensive in any particular manufacture, and therefore rt. nuirex.> be collected horn every part of the kingdom to one Con emtrved po'an for expiration with any rational prospect of ad vantage either to the manufacturer or the exporter. Thai the experience of the last six yeses impre.ses this Meet ing with a decided conviction, that the market of India is not :a 'obis of exterding the consumption of manufactures to the amain which tine pahlic mind has been led to expect; any, therefore, if the export trade to Ineta and China, as now confined to the port of London, be p neral to the outports, it will be of no be neat to them, but will prove ruinous to those extensive este bl•shments which have been fortn-1 by the persons comprising this Meethts, and to the large capita's t.try ".are invested userein. 1 hat should the Export Trade to lad a and Chit S be removed from the Port of London, tl.e Coasting trade of the United Ktug dont, ti at best nt.rfery for our seamen, and great bulwark of our national superiority and streog h—the in'and navigation, that Lew source of great national wealth, as affording incalculable lade des to the Improyeniem of the general aercultur . e of the country—anti, lastfy, the revalue i:selt, would with these suffer inconteival le is jury.

CAPTURE OF BADAJOZ—VOTE OF THANKS. The Order of the Day, ur.bn which their Lir& ships were summoned, being read, -' The Earl of . LIVERPOOL said—" My Lords, r rise in pursuance of the notice I had the honour of 4 iying the last night of our meeting, of my inten tion this day of moving the Thanks of this House to my Lord Wellington, and to those Officers and Sol diers of the Allied Army who were concerned in the siege and capture of l3adajoz. In calling your Loicl• ships attennon to this great and brilliant exploit, it is scarcely necessary to point it to the consideration that in this exploit and operation are to belound the two circumstances which are in getieral held to characte rise an important military operation, namely, an im• portance in the object obtained, and a magnitude of the effort in the resistance which took place air the conflict. 'lf we look, my Lord, for the importance of the object, in the possession of the town and for tress of lladiajoz, we shall find it best recorded in the military history of the Peninsula. Front this we must be :male that it is the only Spanish fortress on the southern frontier of Spain, and that in all the wars in which the Peninsula was engaged, itspossessiun was considered as an object cif.pr; marl military im In former wars the same importance was al=islcaet tached to the place—and it is somewhat singular in former wars, the degree of resistance and effort made to save the place was such, that it never had ben captured. In the year 1638, during the struggle for Portuguese independence, it Was made a most im portant object of contention between the twu Military Powers ; and though attacked by the Portugut se, wha made efforts against it during more than four months, it cost them tile loss of half their army, and thty wire compelled t. , abandon the siege. In the war of 1705 the succession war, it was again attacked by the com bined allied army then in the Peninsula, under the command of the ancestors of a Noble L ord then in his eye, and on that occasion your Lordships are aware, that after a series of operations against it, for more than fourteen days, the enterprise was ob liged to be abandoned. In the present war, my Lords, we know the gre a t military importance which was attached to it. You are aware it was attacked by that distinguished officer Marshal Soult, in the . early part of the last year, viz. on the 3,1 i of &brie. ary. The vigorous and gallant resistance that was made in its defence, would in all prubability have .seen attended with success, if the Governer welt not killed in an early period of the oper..tions. Its defence then fell into other hands, and wiicther from misconduct, or some other causes, the event was the loss of the place. It was certain, however, that .the fortress held out against all the efforts of the enemy, headed by an able officer, fur more than 36 days. In that campaign, afterwards, a siege was regularly commenced by the allied force under the command of Lord Wellington, when the French col lected all their forces from the North of Spain, a great past of the garrison ot Madrid, and a numerous force from the Eastern Coast of Spain, in fact,. all their then disposable troops, with a view of saying the plate. Under such circumstances, Lord Wellington with prudence and pr o p r i et y, d eterm i ne d to raise r i :tege, and your Lordships are informed of what soon alter took place. lu tbeinvseut campaign, after the vapture of Ciudad Rodrigo. the views add efforts of Lord Wellington were naturally directed . to the possession of Badajos.
