The ►estrictions upon the trade with India, the effects of which are stated to be injurious, ■re of three ih,criptiusis : First, The resiriciion imposed by the Act 53.1 Gee. 3, e. 155, sect. 13, tin the size of ♦essels clearing out fitins a port is the Unstril kingdom for any port within the limits of the charter, or entering at a purl is the Uuiard Kiagdutu from a poet wilt's.. those lnnits. Set sadly , The metric' iun of the Barre Act, seer 11, whereby British vessels are restrainer from priweediug directly to ally port is ludia, except a principal settlement, without a ape. Mal licence. Thirdly, The restriction• imposed by former Arlo, and only partially modified Ly the 333 section of the Art of bdd Geo. 3, ou the resort of persons to India, mid their rest deme there, fur commercial or other lariat purposes. Some difference automats' exists as to the grounds noon which the linsitatiou of the trade between the United Kiog duos and ludic, to vessels of the hordes of 350 tons or up wards, was adoptedibl 1813. The Ant proposition fur imposing • limitation of this de scription, appeals to have proceeded from the East India Cowpa•y ii. these terms:—" No private ship to be per mitted to sail rillter from Great &Maio to India, or from India to Great Britain, of. a leis hoiden t►an four huadred loin." In the utmenatioiss made upon this proposition by the then President of the Board of Commis ' Moons, by whom the isegimialiuo with the Company was conducted, it was said to he " •rderstood, that this proposi tion is Wended urns a principle of guartliog @gams( the dan gers to which vessels of less burden than 400 tuna would be exposed ea • voyage to the East Indies, and also of prowl& isi fur the security of the , which might be Minted by permitting insportatious iu smaller vessels;' but Lord Melville expressed himself nut satisfied of the necessity of the restrietioa. In the reply on the part of the Company, the reason iris log from the da•grr of smuggling vas adopted, and these additional remotes were amigsied; that by allowing ship of 400 tons to Forage to the trade, sufficient facility would be afforded to the more respaclairls house, of business desirous of entering " a• I ..... mashie commercial intercourse wills hobs," to the exclusauu sit " characters not soffmnatly responsible," disposed to esigige iu " speculatiolis of mere chance uutwarti, and smuggling homeward"—that the target, • • -.-...

In the tardier progress of the nevociation, it was urged by the Company, that the Couimeny's commercial voiles upon which their ability to bear their part in the system of Indian administration mainly ilepenaled, *mild be materially affected by the illicit insportatios of Tea; which might be expected In oersr, if vessels "unlimited in number and sine" were permitted to come to the nimt-ports, and to resort to the no melons Eastern Islands, where tea from China sight easily be proctored. Lied Beekingitarishlw, islado had evereed e d to the slice of President of the Jodie Board, eapromeg, is trupkb t. nion of his Majesty'. Gove r nme n t, th a t the • sloes with regard to sasiiggling terse no least math • 0 1 1 se the part pf the Cutapaisyi led that that • ht Itgesbeisted by various regulations, .deli as "the bathtub's of the trade to vessels of This is all that is to he found, immlifiebrlilllealing the question of tonnage, in th e pape r s of the negociation; but it appea rs that the Court of Directors and the Court of Pro. priethrs combatted throughout the negoetatioa to urge the danger of sniuggling in British ports, as a matter of deep interest to them, as well as to the State. Your Committee have no hesitation in giving it as their opiois,e, that these appreheasiuns of extensive smuggling were very greatly exaggerated,and that nothing has occurr ed since the opesiag of the trade which warrants the suspicion of any such consequence baying occurred from that measure; nor have they say ream* to believe, that the habitation of the teenage is in airy degree necessary to peeves; that cue. sequence. If lea has been smuggled to any considerable . extent, it has been owing to the formatio n of depots of te• as the coasts of Holland or France, by foreigners, who are wider no limitation whatever as to the size or destination of their ships. The Court of Directors indeed appear to have entirely lost sight of the apprehensioe of sneugglieg, even as ems. &meted with the question of bonnet, for the restriction, in that respect, is sow stated by Mr. Charles Grant, whom si tuation its the Company is sufileiestly known to the Hari to have " proceeded estirely front an appreheasion, that if numerous small vessels were introduced into the trade of EaMeru larks, depredations might ensue upon the natives of the Eastern Islands."—" In any other respect," says Mr. Grant, " it is of no sort of consequence to the Compaay." This impressive, Mr. Groot thiuks, " is probably that of the body of Directors at large."—" The limitation of ton• nage," be egoist says, " was from a humane political reason." The narrative which your Committee have given of the introduction of the limitation of tonnage into the arrange ment of 1813, while it peewee, on the one band, to show, that having been adopted at the urgeut request of the Com pany, that limitation must be considered a. a part of the compact with the Company, to which the faith of Parliament stands pledged, clearly shows, on the other, that the grounds upon which that pledge was required by the Company, have ceased to exist. Upon the general principle, that no restriction upon com merce ought to be imposed or retained, for which there is not a clear and undoubted necessity, your Committee would, but for the agreement with the Company, have no hesitation in recommending the repeal or the 13th section of the efiet of 1813, even if is hod umbrae show■ to he prac. tically iewouvenierit ; but it Is represented by merchants actually engaged is the ladlaw trade, sad others well ac quainted with Asiatic ports, as creative $ imatetial itspedi meat to our cononcicial iulercuu►se, especially wills the islands of ohs East Indian Archipelago, and with those countries of Easteret Asia, with which Great Britain has hitherto bad little or no eommuoication. Your Committee &refer from holding out an expectation, that the sanglaioe hopes, cute, tained by some, of a rapid sod great estrusio■ of traffic with Stain, Cocteau Chios, t►e Persian sod Arabi•st Gulf., or even the !rasters Islands, will be realized to their full extent ; but it is wodemable, that the chasers of such extension are, is some Earl, wantonly thrown sway, while British traders are deprived of any of the facilities of avail ing themarl►ra of them, which the natural course of thins allows, sad which are ill the power of all other 'tattoos. The apprehension now stated, of Jamey to the natives of the Eastern lamed', front the access of smaller settee* which would nut arise from larger vessels, appears to be quite visionary. If there is retie°a fur apprehatudiug elsager, it is talker to the Britiab traders from the piratical Malaya; but against this danger, those who engage in the trade may he expected, fur their men sakes, to take sufficient precautious, sad to employ suede ships only as ca■ be safely, as well as profitably, isavigated. Upon this subject of the tonnage, there has been one mi.- commotion, to which your Committee find it necessary to advert. Many traders have supposed, that no British vessel of less than 350 tuns burden could legally trade, or be found, to the eastward of the Cape of Good Hope. It is very im portant that it should Le known, that the restriction im posed by the law applies only to ships clearing out Gum a British port, or catering at a British port, fur or from a port to the eastward of the Cape. Such is the distinct enact ment of the Art of 1813, coufirmed by subsequeut Acts, but never (Mewled t. _ Vessels 'emboli under the authority of the Circuitous Trade Act, " between all ports suit places within the limits of the Company's charter;" vessels engaged tit trade be tween Malts or Gibraltar and the East Indies; vessels en gaged in trade under the Act receutly passed (or permit ting a trade with foreign ports; vessels from the Cape of Goal Hope (unless !mite wu► goods from the eastward); iu a word, all vessels nut proceeding from, or bound to, the the United Kirigdom, are exempted from the rrrrr icliois of tonnage. _ _ Phis fact illustrates the futility of any other reason assign. ed for the restriction, than that which the Company now appear to disclaim, the drover of ansaggliiig at humor. Dan ger, arising in the Eastern Islands, must be expected as much front vessels trailing with the Mediterranean, or with any (amigo port in Europe or Matelot, as from those winch procee•l from England. Your Committee, therefore, with every respect due to whatever may be considered as compact with the Company, think ii their duty to give at as their decided opiniou, that there exista not with reference to the Stale, and their convic tion that there exists not in au, peculiar interest of the Company, any stifficiert reason for the continuance of the testriction. Yunr Committee now advert to the provision of the 11th sectioa of the Act of 1813, whereby 11 b vessels are re stricted from proceeding to auy of the ports of India, other than the principal settlements. Of the origin of this restriction, as well as of the necessity which now exists for euntioniug it, yaw. Committee will give the words of Mr. Grant %Yids respect to the admisaiusi to the minor ports of the continent or India, the design of that restriction was, to prevent the access of vessels to pieces where there was nu Wroth authority un the spot, to prevent the irregularities that might ensue; there may be still sonic danger of this kind, but I do nut bold it to be of great ina. poriauce, our do I think the Company attach auy great importance to it." Upon this subject of 'special licences, your Committee have been inferential, 8111181 deriug the discusaiosis in which Ai -a lola • 350 tune, reffilleroi insesureureut, is considered as equal to 400 sum. t Except that the Order in Connell issued on t►e 24th of September 1814, under the authority of the Act of Perliu metal, prohibit. the import/moo frum the Cape Mau the United Kingdom, ut the produce of countries with's' the limits of the cluster, in vends under 350 tens. eh" lave been engaged, and subeeouently to the reception of lie eindrisee of • Yr. Richards on this subject, *IAA will be /rend in their minutes, t►e Court of Directors of the Beat belie Company have come to a molettes, to comply with ail the applications fo► special lieeatee which WWII thee pending before them, or before the Board of Coasmissiemers. This Resolution originated in the convictlee, metelosed by the opiates of the tenet eintionst lawyers, that seders a fair cowsineetieu of the several Acts, Btitielt vessel* seedier snider the ordinary licence to one er taupe of the principal settlements in India, sad having completed that outward voyage, may rentals in India, with the right to tarry es trade frets port to port in India (including the minor ports), or any other trade within, as well as without the limits of the charter; or may take is s homeward cargo, as well at a minor port as at a principal settlement, The rights of the British traders, indepeadent of a licence, being thus eaten site, the Court of Directors have acted with II priiie.worthy liberality, in not withholding from Moue the only additional facility, which, osier the Acts, they might hove refitted to ---• Your Committee trust, that special liCelltre far - reseed from a port of the (Jetted %tortoni to ' India, other than a principal satikoso at, will be grauted in all instituted i■ which they are soy port hencefuri desir.d. Your Committee, however, think it right to observe, that objection has been made tic she ailiiiisvion of British ships into the coasting trade of India, grounded upon the injury which may thereby be sustained by the India-built ships, which are not ■doodled into the coating trade of this cues try, and have not the privileges of gement trade belungiug to British vessels. Upon this objection, your Committee will obverse, in the first place, this in order to ri move she inequality and 'nig.- het to which it refers, they would much more willingly re commend, thet the restriction imposed opus the ships of India should be removed, than that Om hesitation should be imposed upon She ships of Eaglaud; but, in fact, the in equality is not so great as has been supposed. kdia•built ship, so far from being " precluded from car rying on the " direct trade In Europe," ■re by the express terms of the Act 55 Geo. 111. c. 116, permitted to carry on that trade, whether directly or circuitously, as It is Imam rised by the Acts of the 53.1 and 54th of the late Kieg. And in the Act recentiy passed, fur permitting a trade with Foreign ports, India built ships are also specially more. heeded. The third of the restriction•, of the operation whereof your Committee have received a complaint, is that which has bees imposed by repeated Acts, aad reenacted, with modi fications, by the Act of 1813, epos the resort of individual British subjects to India, fur commercial, as well as other lawful purposes. . . The restrictions imposed by the Legislature upon the resi dence of Europeans in India, form an important part of the policy upon which the government of the British territories in that country is conducted. Your Committee feel them selves precluded from entering into • discussion of this policy. It is for them only to inquire, whether the partial moctileations of it, which have been adopted by Parliament, have been so adenini d as to give to British commerce the utmost facilities which are consistent with the strict misintennete of the principle itself. Your Committee, in deed, grid it difficult to pursue even this limited considera tion, without transgressing the bounds of their duty; and they therefore think it sufficient to state, that the complaint of the operatimi of this restriction is by no means general ; and that there is no allegation of pattielity in the exercise of the powers vested in the Court of Directorsomil Board of Commissioners. For • atonement of the practice adopted by these authori ties, in granting permission to persona to reside its India, your Committee refer to Appendix F.; and they bare only to add, that the provisions of the Act of Idl3, for prevent iug too large so jail,' of Europeans into India, is the Niel specially excepted from the above.mentioned reservation is the 1011, seetiou of that Act. Your Committee, therefore, can only express their I desire, that no limitation will be imposed upon the resii!ence of merchants and mercantile ■gents is India, which is rot it y for the security of the Government, and the protection of the natives. The Act of 1813 imposed souther restriction upon the trade with India, which is not noticed by any of the wit remelt. sad which, it is therefore probable. has not been at tended wills any considerable inconvenience. The 10th grown of that Act counties insportatious from places within the limits of the Charter, to suds ports of the United Kine• Juin " as shall be provided with warehouses, tugeiher with wet ducks or basins, or such other securities as shall in the judgineut of the Lord High Treasurer, or of the Lords Cosumissirmers of the Treasury for the time briar, or any three or more of them, ill Great Lrilaits and Ireland ►e spectivel , be lit auJ proper fur the is posit sod safe custody of all such goods, wares and meichandise, sa well as fur the collection of all duties payable thereon." 'I he ports which have been accordingly made port• of importation, are Liver 'poul, Hull, Gretssuek and Port Gime., Bristol sad Leith, to which must be added the Port of Lursilon. In their sewed Rrpwi, your Committee refvrreel to the facilities seed privileges a trade with Indio, pussesved by Foresaw EurupcJie aatioeis aud Americans. TIN British possessioss iu the East .re nut subjected to tie laws by which our Colonies in Ainslie.* and the West Indies are genersily restrained front diem teaffie with tureigu mamma, and by which tredve ships are prohibited bons ere sorting to them. 'rim Act 37 Geo. 111. e. 117, empowers and directs the Court of Directors of the East bolts Company, nail 17re ap probatiou of the Contenis.ioners fur the Affairs of laths, " to frame ouch regulations for carrying on the trade to sod from the British possessions in the East Indies, and the ClMlMilltd pull States in amity with his Majraiy,as shall seen. to (heal must cosulutive to the iuterest and prosperity of the sail British puseessious iu India, and of the Bluish empire." 'nee Regulations made ruder the authority of this Act, and now to force, as to European nations, and the Commit time by +bleb she American trade is regulated, are already belfuee the House. Yore Coonsittee la lire also to advert to two points con nected wits the NavigatiotoLaws, as they a ff ect India. The 7th sect. of tbe - Act of 1813, eeferriug to the Act of the Itill of Charles IL by which the produce of countries withiu the liniiisuf the Charter can only be brought into Eagised " from the place of production, or the usual putt of shipmeta," provides that the produce of rsay country within those limits, may be brought from any other country alai situated within the limits. The 57th Geo. 111 , c. 95—reciting the several Acts of Charles 11. William, Auue, ■od George I. w►ereby divers prohibitions, regulations ■nd provisions have been enacted, respecting the importation of guods su l commodities of the growth, production, and smoinfacture of Europe, into soy leads, kr. to his Majesty belonging, or in his possession, ia Asia, Africa, or America; aud also respecting the transpur mhos of certain articles of the growth, production, or ma siufacture of British plautations in Asia, Africa, or Afar rica; and ilisd the said provisiuus hive heels commonly sup posed Nut to apply, aril have out in practice been applied, aud that it is not expedseut that Ilse same should be applied, to the trade of his Majesty's subjects to and from the East Indies, enacts, that rustiness io those Ads, or in any other Acts passed fur the like purposes, eontaiued, shall exteud to expurtatiois or importation In British or Indian registered vessels, of any goods whatever, within the limits of the Company's c►a►ter, which, fur the purposes of this Act also, are to include the Cape of Good Hope. Your Committee hare hitherto excluded from their eon. sideratiuu the trade with Chins, and have adverted list slightly to the traffic, upon which the expectation of the public has of late brew highly rowed, with the Islands of the East laclian Archipelago. The aacieut rostssopoly of the East India Company still reamias, as to the trade with China, io full force mid effect ; ' ■od fur the protection of this monopoly, the Cutrpaoy silt .... The wllll 4 ) : .r..~~_ , PRICE 7d. •,1 vested with the eheiheive right of shipping or esf►vieg Its nights the whole range of their chatfieringhl of importiogl ft into the United Kitegdom. The East India Company attach great sad jest importanrc to Ibis monopoly, nod state that the profit. of their ti ado with Chins coastituto the priuripal reloorce hum which their dividend is yeriJ, and that thst trade is in fact the main prop of their financial system, in w►ich the State hal as interest neither inconsiderable nor very remote. This monopoly than, as far as it is confirmed by Art a Parliameat to the Company, is not a matter 4.1 discussion. Whatever it may be advisable to it., whew the trt shall rm• pire, your Committee are far at present from the intention, of suggesting the surrender of that which is, to the Coma miller, a valuable possession, sad rests us the falls of the Legislature. Different considerations, however, apply, 1., th ese brooches of trade, from which his Afrjealy's suljeets at large are precluded, by p.ivileges vested is the Company, of which the Conipasy do sot avail themselves. Of this de scription, in the words of the Lords' CUAIMIIIieOI4 whose Report has been referred In your Committer. ate, " The trade its tea and other articles between Conlon end kiting', Etienne; the tra trade within the limits of the Company's het err, exclusive of the ports of the Chinese empire; and the grade between Cancun , and the wastrel' shores of North sod South America. Y The operation, upon the interests of the East India Com pany, of the admission of private trad-rs into those branches of traffic, is not to he wirtsurcil solely by the 'Teri allies such admission would have in reducing say prefits which t►e Company now derive from the eirenitors supply ',ribose countries with which they have 11.1 direct iNtereuorse. That effict world p.obahly be very little; nor do the Court IS Directors, as fir as your Committee are informed, attach importance to it. But the ■pp:elicusiou by which they profess themselves governed, to tenaciously adhering to their monopoly, is equally applicable its all no aroma by which the free resort of British meschants to CAISIUO is per mitted, whatever ray be the nature or drstivatiu■ of the commodities in which they deal. This apprehension appears to lie founded upon the IN lief, that ender the circumstance. of an open trade, Jiiiputt would arise between the British sailors and the Chinese, whereby the anger of that jealous Governeuelit wou:d be excited, of which the injurious effects world be felt by the Company, at well as by the private traders, auJ even pat in jeopardy the coniinnatice of the trade its, If. It is also apprehended, that if tbe m irate merchants were admitted into the tea trade, the tea putchased by the Com pany might experience a deterioration in quality, or to hancement in price, which would greatly affect the Com pany's profits. That the first of these consequences his not furowed the progressive increase of the American trade with Canton, is attributed to as alleged difference of chatarti r and behavi our of the seamen of the two nations; a difference, of the existence of which, your Committee are by no means sail.• bed; •ad on this subject generally, they beg to refer the House to the evidence of Mr. Drummond, a Member of the House, and others who have been examined. It is however clear, that the American trade has never, front this cause, been impeded; •id equally tree, that never till recently, sail then in articles of exportation only, have the interests of Ili.. East India Company stifferell by the ptosecutioit of that trade. Nor can your Committee entertain the appreheosion that greater danger will arise from the same extent of com merce transferred to, and condoeted by British "objects, notwithstanding the different 'TOO in which, according to an apprehension stated by one of the witueests, they inigtt conduct the competition. But it is here to be observed, that information has been composnieeted to your Committee, by Mr. Groot. with lure mission of the Court of Directors, which pieces the elicit of the American trade upon that of the Company, at least as lu the export of British mattufacturts, in an mitre!, sew light. The following is an extract of a lett. r,uf date so recent as Ilse 20th of November, 1820, from the supes cat gai a at Can ton, to the Court of Directors:— " The very alas ming inroad that is sow commenced by Ameriese speculations, tutu a trade hitherto confined to the Hon. Compaur. will, it is probable, soon place all et r• lainty of calculation in its economy, at defiance. Betvi e - s three and 4,000 pieces of broad chilli have b►en imporle.l ander the American hag, duvet from England, and ty the• circuitous eiseiiturn of America, during the present yea-usi ; pan. riot of these cloths, with the prices and teems or their di.p..sal, will be forwarded by our superiuteudeut of on. pools; a flambe► in the Thames packet. ."
