The trade was never a strict mono poly, and, since 1793, especially had been as open as . wasoe:e•istent with the revenue of this country, The managenteut of the Company.bad been always of such a nitLre as to encourage the industry an d i l promote the wealth of this country. There were Logo imparts of goods from India on hand. The opening of the trans would destroy large and es., pensive estabiiiihnients hi the metropolis. The pro. posed extension of the trade could only be realized by a large transfer of the capital of this country . to Lydia, and, of course injure this country at large, and the persons themselves petitioning.— The indiscriminate miatore, and general inter course.. of the people of this country with &one tires of India, would create. a scene. of confusion abroad, and undermine the Government of 1.04 . 4 . 1 1 which was chiAiy supported by opinion. A.eores. . ascabou it the inlatid parts sr India would leaf* a clandestiee trade ivith . thitsar 'Thecomplaint, of being excloded from a • trade that was open to fo reigners, was unfounded. These foreigners. had . ob. taiir d +heir share of the trade merely as neutrals, having admission to many ports that iudiriduals of Oil:. country could' not have. Should peace return, there was no doubt that Londou would bethegeneral emporium of the India trade to all Europe. No case of de;i:icciency or misconduct bad been made out against the Company., The Company's capital en gaged in this trade gave employment,and subsistence to many thousands of people. The Resolutious were well drawn up, and met with much applause. Mr. lEL.tND thanked the Meeting for the fa. vouralle reception they had given to the sentiments he had embodied in these Resolutions, and expressed bis onntidence rather iu his pen thau in his talents as publi' speaker. l'he Ite%olutions were moved and attended,. when the Coairman directed them to be read one by one. • The first resolutiou being agaie read, Mr- Num': rose and spoke at a very considerable length. lie commenced by apologizi;ig for address ing the Court, when tits many were betterable to dis. cuss the question, which he hoped all would do with moderation and temper. When he introduced him. selfsbefore, it was merely to prevent any hasty deci• sion on a complicated and important question. t%en. tlemen might be right in hiaulated Markets foreign b, ayk. , Which . not under the existing preposterous system. Goods were sent to America, paid for by bills from Calcutta ou London, by British capital. Our navigation wan founded on the principle of our merchants getting as much of the carrying trade from our colonies as they could bring. ,The granting such unrestrained trade to America with India, which was not allowed in the Colonies, was always questionable. America got wealth by importing from India articles she Aid Mt want, but exported to other places with all the pro: fits of the carrying trade. The system, it was said, said pot be changed. .The seat of commerce, haw. . -tiver, *tight be changed ; and if we had not so tiered America to supply the West Indies, the Spanish. Main, and South 'America, the business would have been done by our own merchants ;* but by tvhich the Americans got cash for British commodities. Look at the evidence, in 1809, before the Select Com mittee. IVh l y not put double duties on American -traffic in indsa, and England need have' nothing to fear! By the policy. we had adopted, instead of pro; per restrictive reitulafions, we had lost greatly, and', had given strength to a rival to attempt to break our own heads, supplying America with the means of get. ' ling money.' Mr. Gallatip's statement' chewed that America got* usillieu af dollars annually / by duties le vied on us, whip& was a seriops consideration.
