I hat it is the opinion of this Meeting, that Facto:lye Privileges granted to Commercial Coma panics are prejuitcial to the Interests of the Community at note,' in as much as, at the ripener otthe many, they encatuage a sys• tem of baneful monopoly in a few, to thz exolusion of tliat 1.0 and.fthend spirit of enterpoize and adventure, so salutary and ID natural to a mercantile people. ,itesolved Unanimously —R.

That the approaching period of the Charter granted to the United Company of Merclianta trailing to the East.indles, will enable the legi.lature to relieve the Liw dining trade of the t.mptre, by affording to Individuals of indus try and enterprize, an opportunity of turning into n-w Channels those Capitals which have hitherto been employed in the Euro. pean trade, now almost annihilated, and in the trade to the Cats tiuent of America, to long and so unfortunately suspended.

That front our Experience of the Trade in Long Ells, we are convinzed, that no Increase of the Export of this cheap and du ! rahle Manufacture would he effected by opening •he Trade to China to Indsvidt:als, because ;t appears by Returns from thence, that tke Company have glutted the Market therewith. That adverting to the paultar Character of the Chinese, their ( known Indifference to the European Trade, and their Dislike to Innovation, this Meeting considers, that it would be high'. inex pedient to expose this 'Trade, so important to the gsnsraissinte rests of the Country, to the risk of so hazardous an experiment as that of an indiscriminate Permission to Injitriduals to Trade thither. _ _ . _ _ - .

RESPICTUI Fatsuo, I am requested by a General Meeting of the Persons engaged la the Manufacture of Lung Ells In the Western Coutaite, to transmit to thee a Copy of ttieir Resolutions:- In so doing, permit aim to obsellfte i That, at a time like the prese . ..t, when the usual nets of trade are so genera:ly closed, and the Distresses of the Manutacturnig Closes so alarmingly increased, the Public Attention is vary natura'ly fixed on any Object, trading to its Amelioration. No wonder, then, that the expected Discussion on the Keane al of the Charter to the East-India Company. should excite this attention in an unusual degree, and the Advantages hoped for by toasty, from opening the Trajeoto India and China, occasion Petitions to be sent up from divers places. Happy would It be tor the Country, and sincerely would the Manufacturers re joice at such an event, could they believelt calculated to produce the effect of openine new Channels to the enterprize of our merchants, and extending the Saks of our Manufactures. But, asedractical Knowledge in the Manufacture of Woollens for the Culnese Market, leads to kientiments altogether opposed to the Expediency of opening that Trade, 1 am requested to make known to thee those Sentiments, and the Reasons fur tntertaiumg them. It h.es been supposed by many, that the populous Empire of China is, of itself, suffitient to purchase the greater Part, or the Whole of the espOrtell Manutactures of this Kingdom; nd that the Supineness or Inattention of the Company to Mercantile Ob jects, alone obstructs its Growth. This, however, is not the fact —the L ompany's Exports, having annaady exceeded the number their Agents thought the Market could take o(, although those Agents are paid by a per Centage on the amount of the Sales, as a stimulus to promote the Extension of the Trade. But it should , be considered, that China . r Country producing Materials for ninstactares in Cotton and Silk; the Labourer; are numerous, wages !ca, and they Supply suffic.e.nt Clothing for the Bulk of the Porulation. The Company have but a small number of Agents in China; these are habituated to the pecuPar Customs and vexatious kr strictions imposed on Europeans by that jealous People, the infraction of which, that would follow on a greater influx of Strangers, would coon endanger the entire expulsion tit our Cow.trymen, and the total annihilation of the Trade. Abe laying of the Trade open, would doubtless, for a short i period, (in eonsequeuce of imprudent Speculations,) give great Activity to diver, Manufacturers, and bustle at the Gut-ports; but, on the arrival of our Ships ;n Chins, the scene would be changed; the wily Chinese, taking Advantage of the Stranger's Ignorance and Neceasities, and of the Excess of Goods in. the Market, would oblige them to barter on the most disadvantageous Terms; European Goods would be sold at Halt teen Cost, and as purchased at very advanced Prices ; sad our deluded Coun trymen, full freighted with Disappointment, would return Home to market overstocked with 1 cgs, and their Cargoes be sold at 1 rellotod PrOes, to meet the ?resell's Ramie of the Molnar •r Resolved Unanimously—S.That it is the opinion of this Meets' ing that no good reason can be assigned for the continuance °con exclusive Charter to the East India Company; for If the Trade to India can be carried on most advantageously by such a Com pany, then it has nothing to apprehend from the competition of individual, and if, on the contrary, the experience of a long series of years, during wh'ch the said Company has exercised the sad trade under the advantages of Chartered eghts, proves, that it has not been so carried on, then it is not tight that a contluuancet of the monopoly should be permitted to the prejudice of the , I Community at large. Resolved Unanimously-4. That it is the opinion of this Meeting that the trade to India and China might be carried on with superior advantages, and to a much greater extent by ladi• vidual enterprize, than it can pOesibly be by a Chartered Com pany; the very nature of whose Constitution precludes that active inspection, that essential minuteness of detail, that atcw racy of investigation and unremitting application, so indlapensa• biy necessary in the direction and prosecution of extended Coin. mercial c.incems : and the success which Las attended the Chi sena of the United Suits of America in their intercourse with the East, affords an encouraging example to the Industry et the dub.. jects of these Kingdoms, and proves that both polity and leen, demand thit that Industry should n• longer be restrained. Resolved Unanbnously-7. That an bumble Address and Pad. tion be presented; during the present Se,a4Jn, to both Howes of Parliament, praying, for the Reasons duel I. the atom/Sin Resolutions, that at the eapkatioe of the present Charlie of East India Company such Measures nay be taken a., in the wk. dour of Parliament, &ha:: seem met.' to 'pen the l rade to led* and Chins, to the Enterptias and Industry of British Merchants It: genera'.
