But, Sir, are the Private Traders or their Agents willing to accept the Trade on that Right Hon. - Gentleman's limited principles, and to forego the more liberal system of the Governor General ?-s- , The error of the Right Hon. Gentlerian (if I may presume to attribute error to him), I vonceive to be, in supposing it pbssible that the'Tratie could be, or-remain so limited. He states, " that the par. " ties themselves should manage the Trade, or " Agents for them, subjedt to the control and les gulations of the Company ;" and afterwards, that he sees no reason why those Agents may rut be permitted to exercise their agency in any of the Territories in India ; but, Sir, it must he obvious to all who have had experience in India, that the mangers of your own Trade, and of all your other vast concerns, caninst /be allowed to ma.. nage this Trade on their own account. In all the different Boards and Offices of importance, they are, and must continue to be precluded from car_ lying on Private Trade, either as Principals or Agents : they must consequently have Agents to manage this Trade with England on their account. The CoMpany's Military Officers too, must have Ago*, and of course His Majesty's Officers must have Agents, for they will have fortunes to remit through this same Private Trade. Thus, Sir, even on the late President's limited plan, you will have a host of legaliZed Agents in India, and an Euro. - penn Public at every Out-Settlement, as he 4 4 sees " no • nhjeCtion to the Agents exercising their " agency in any of t h e T err i tor i es i n I n di a. "— How nu merous - then will be the Agents, if the Trade is to be carried 'on by British Merchants in discriminately, and with British Capital ? In addition to the vast nunibers that the Trade Will invite to India, let it be considered how many hundreds, and, in process of time, thousands of Eu ropean Ship Carpenters, Joiners, and other Arti., ficers, will be required for the prosecution of That Trade, which your Committee have stated strong grounds to conclude is, after all, the primary objets., 'Lonely, a Trade in Intlian.built Ships, the subjed of which is so unanswerably discussed in your Com mittee's 3d Report, that I have .but to observe,. that the only argument in favour of the Trade, that appears to me to have any real solidity, was the supposed scarcity of timber for the Royal Navy; in consequence of the great demand of large timber for the Company's Reg u la r Ship p i ng ; an d t h e argument is completely done away by the proposition of your Committee to build, if necessary, large Ships for His Majesty's Service, and by the declaration, " that the Diredors are 'ready to sacrifice their own 44 judgment, and to exert every endeavour to carry 4 such plans as may be recommended by His Ma. jesty's Ministers for the public service, into ef- The Officers and Crews. of Foreign Ships, which the Hon. Proprietor speaks of, do not at all resemble the persons who will wish to proceed to India under 1 the new System : the latter are not equally divested of the Means of obtaining protelion by the influence of connexions here. To- the spirit of adventure, and the golden prospea held out by this speculation, • and the hope of finding other avenues to wealth, and a better trade than they were seat to manage, will Ire added the serious inducement to emigration af forded by the pressure of the times. The persons who proceed to India as Agents, those who May employ them there, and the numerous friends of the Plan is England, will.have one.common objet ; and to judge of the probable issue, look only to the powerful interests already 'united. against the Com pany, and the support they meet with—advert to the situation in which we at .this moment stand, :and the occasion of this Meeting Justly, - indeed, Sir, does your Committee ob serve, that the concessions made in 1793, are the source from which the present claims originate ;• and and if admitted, they will give birth to others. — We know, Sir, that where passions less strong than that of gain, are set at work, concession begets concession, and that it is not always safe to grant et-en those that are just : for that passion never yet was satisfied, while any thing remained within its possible grasp; and unhappily, whatever contributes Enthusiasm, Sir, is of different sorts, and ope_ rates variously—mine tells me that no half-measuress or partial savings, will anal but that your affairs can only be retrieved by economical retrenchments in every Department abroad and at home—by the suppression 'of all Establishtrients and Offices that are profitable only to the PosSessors—by making ta lents, experience, and integrity, the only. recom mendations to promotion abroad—by a just and conciliating condw to_ all .with whom you have to deal, whether weak or powerful; and, finally, by forsaking the system once declared to. be repugnant to the wish, the honour, and the policy of this Nation !—[llear I bear ! from the corner occupied by the Friends of the Private Traders. 3- h e Gen tlemen seem to be 'elated at this statement, but. I . trust 1 shall spew that it affords them no cause of triumph.—Sir, as matters. now ate, others.have in effect a clear income from Territories which you protect ; and, with receipts to the utmost, I believe; of Eight Millions sterling, your real income is worse than none. Your Commerce, however,, remains and from that, the Proprietors derive their Di7i dend. But even that resource .is now grasped at, and in a way, that, were it certain the Public would benefit by it, would still be - unjust, because it strikes. at your Chartered Privileges. But you have • not that consolation—should 'your opponents pre vail, the Public will suffer with you, and the grand children of many present, tracing on the Map-the Topography of that qu'arter of the Globe, will point out to their children the vast tracts that once were British.lndia! But, Sir, I will hot yet believe that this " interference in a department of your business, " where the administration is declared, by the " highest authority, to be exclusively your own," will be persisted in : until the fa& shall stare me in the face, I will not believe that the present •Mi_ nister, of whom, amidst all the collisions of party there is but one opinion, and, that unmixed with. a single shade of disapprobation, will give the sanc tion of tis fair name to so great an injustice; as that of wresting from the East-India Company the Pri vileges of their, Charter, and retaining the price that haS'been paid for them. , I have meant here, Site, no invidious comparison, being convinced that the mind of the iliustrions Person who presided in the late Administration, would have .equally revolted at such an injustice ; nor am I less ,convinced of the pure .and upright motives which govern. the Conduta of the Noble Earl who presides at the Board of Contraul—to err, and to:yield to partial represnta- - lions, is human ; but his,Lordship can have none but disinterested views," nor any other object than virtuous fame. At all events, it is desirable that the business should speedily be - brought to a - final issue ; otherwise, Sir,' what will be the opinion in t India of the situation of the Company; qnd What the estimation there of your authority r If Unhappily the decision should be against the Company, they must state with respectful. firmness to Parliament the sa trifices made, the ruinous • burthens incurred, and the vast sums expended by the ',East India ,Company - during the last 30. years, to aid the National Cause, and often in enterprises in which the COmpany had no distin& interest, but the success of which was made subservient to the public - welfare, and the 6:- pences left on them : they must petition against the injustice of being compelled to protect a Trade in ; opposition to their own, and a system operating to their own destruction : they , must reSpe&fully claim that this .rival Company, admitted to a participa lion in the Company's Commerce, shall participate in the expellee of protecting it.. Sir, in contemplating the more transcendantly . important consequences of the System demanded, I have overlooked the injury it must operate to the Company's Regular Shipping, and the Commanders and Officers in your Naval Service—this is' too ob- vious to require any detailed argument—the.lndian Markets will be glutted—the leak Ships will of- • ten be filled .with. the Company's goods, and Gen tlemen returning from India will often, if not ge nerally, embark on them. You will find it necassary to increase the pay of Your-Commanders and Offi cers, but increase will compensate the differ-, once; rind those who may engage in your Service, under the new System, will not be of the same de, .scription with those - who have done it and them selves so much honour, and who have at different times, and whenever called on, so nobly seconded those efforts of the British Army and Navy, by . _ . . . 1 . 01 , 4 4)0N : Printed by BUCHANAN WMILLAN, (of Bow-Street, Covent-Garden); and PublishW by %S tr. 1.1 A m Ait Nil GFR SCRIPT'S, (of Horse, At the SLIN.OFFteI; No, 112, Strand ; where ihirvertisetsenp, Ordeis tot the Paper; Later, for the Editor, ec - t', (pist-4tai BLES, ere.

The Co. vernor-General, on the other hand, sees no danger, but on the contrary, beneficial consequences, from applying 'tb the Trade Capital drawn directly from Europe. His Lordship spoke generally of British Merchants, and observes, "that "' if the extension " of additional indulgences to them should involve " the admission of numerous. British adventurers " into India, the Government can always with less " difficulty control - the operations of British,. than " those of Foreign Agents ;" and his Lordship adds, that " it is nor pr4bable that any increase " of Private British Trade would necessarily pro " duce a proportionate augmentation of the Number of British Agents resorting thither, but that Bri " tish Agents in India would be likely to be ern " ployed by persons engaged in commercial con " terns at home." This clearly admits an option in British Merchants at home, to send Agents to India to manage their concerns there, and of course skews that the Nobla 'Marquis does not limit the Private Trade to the Company's Servants, or the remittance of their forttiles. Indeed it would not in praetice be possible to limit it.—lt is obvious that the Governor-General, relying on the powers of Government, of which he was conscious in himself, over unlicensed persons, sees no danger in admitting an indefinite number of Agents to settle in India, or his Lordship would not be satisfied with opposing to it a probability. With regard to the position, that it is more easy to control British than Foreign Agents, it seems to me extremely problematical at least, even now ; and looking forward to future times, supposing it ailed ilpon, consequences of serious importance must, I think, suggest them st.lves against it.—Upon the whole, Sir, with the sincerest i deference to the opinions of th e N o bl e Marquis on every other subjed; i vonture to think that his Lordship has on this one demonstrated the error of supposing, that, splendid talents, and a mind enriched with science and literature, supersede the' necessity of local knowledge and experience. come now, Sir, to an Authority, in venturing to - dissent from which, I fear I may be accused of yet greater }resumption--I mean, Sir, the authority of the late President of the Board of Controul, whose great talents, and beneficial application of them to the general affairs of the Empire, I most freely ac knowledge.—l consider him as having been one of the principal Members of an Administration, to ' whose councils, under Providence, we owe the sal vation of the Country. With resped to his system of Indian Administration; I have the misfortune to differ from him extremely : and must be resigned to all the discredit attached to the confession. I mean, Sir, his system.takeo as a whole : many of his mea sures have my warmest approbation. God forbid 'that I should forget 'that he sent CoRtrwALLIs to India, and thereby exhibited to astonished millions, a union of all the virtues that adorn the human cha ratter—Aunion of absolute power with consummate honour, and a conduct that sought its ebjec'l, not it the mysterious haunts of diplomatic craft, but in the plain, right onward path of openness and can dour. i , On the subjeft n question, I balance against his opinions, the almost unanimous opinions of the Court of Direetors, many of whom have, fOr as many years as he did, devoted their faculties to the affairs of India, and with less divided attention ; dnd several of whom possess the advantage of local knowledge and experience, in common with those persons whose sentiments are so much relied on. fed."—Thus, Sir; the eonstmiption of large tin ber may, if necessary, be diminished, without 4- stroying the privileges of the East India Company. I shall now, Sir, briefly notice the grand and captivating idea held out to conciliate friends to the Plan, and make the Public see with indifference the East India Company despoiled_ of their Rights The idea, Sir, of bringing the whole of the Trade of India to the Thames, making London the grand Emporium of Asiatic Commerce, and Occluding Foreigners •from - the share they .now hold in it said I should briefly notice this grand idea, for your Committee have left very little to be said upOn it : ' they have shewn it to be a baseless fabric, and that. it would end in complete delusion Sir, -'they have not only shewn, that it would be impradicable, but. that if pradicable,'it Would . be unwise to attempt to reduce the proportion which Foreigners now hold in . this Trade. .They have stated a remarkableCireum stance—they have shewn that the Governor-General was calling on the Court of Directors to take effec tual measures to guard against the Portuguese, while theTortuguese were assisting ,his Government, then in distress for money, by the importation of s 74, 000l.' in silver. On this head, I'shall only add one ob servation. In Bengal, on the . Coast of Malabar; on the Coast of Coromandel, from Cape Comorin to Orissa, Ports and FaCtories' are possessed by the French, the Dutch, the Danes, and the Portuguese ; they are all Maritinie Powers, possess commercial capitals : their Merchants a 3 eager In pursuit of gain, and almost as enterprising as. ours, and their respedive Governments equally sensible of the ad vantages of a Trade with India :—can there then be, rational ground of'hope that we can exclude them from their share in this - Trade, or induce them to . relinquish it, and consent to obtain the produd of India only through the Port of London ? Besides, Sir, in a political view, it would not be wise . to - acquire for ourselves so invidious a preference ; for we can but ill afford to lose any part of the reputa tion we possess .With Foreign Powers, for Modera tion or liberality in this resped.—But if, Sir, the Private Traders really think that this brilliant.ob jed can be accomplished, are they content to receive what they demand, on the condition of restoring it in case of failure.? Will they consent that the Pri vate Trade shall return to its present footing, if the hope shall prove delusive I . _ . _ _ I taieve, Sir, I have adverted to the several speculative Opinions and arguments that have been brought forward in support of the views of the Private Traders: they do not, ,in my opinion, prove that those views—can be acquiesced in with. out infringing the Rights of the Company, or that the adoption of them will be attendpd with benefit to the Public. As to the momentous point of, whether the Plan will tend to introduce a System of Colonization, I shall refer them to the highest au thority they have qUoted in their own favour, to chew. not merely that what they now deemed will have that tendency, but that what they have already, obtained has directly tended to it ; for, as I have already observed, the late President of the Board of Controul agrees with your Committee, " that the " permitting the transfer of British Capital to In " dia would establish the first principle of a Colo. " nial System, and direffly tend to introduce that " Sy_stern into India ;" I ask then, if the Capital now employed in the Private Trade, or a great part of it, is not British, and therefore if the first principle of a Colonial System, is not already esta. Wished ? The only arguments offered, to disprove the ex istence of danger of Colonization from therojeded change (even after the first principle of it has been established) are comprised in the Hon. Proprietor's publication, and they rest upon the conclusion, that the Governments and Commanders in India, present and future, will always . do their duty, and enforce the established regulations. The non-existence of the danger is thus allowed td be conditional at least; 'the answer, in every part of it, implies doubt, and tests upon an f; and should the Author unhappily live to find himself mistaken (for I am sure it would be a subjed of deep affliction to him), he will refer to that if in his defence : but I think might safely appeal to his candour, whether it would in reality (as he states) be a very heinous libel on the Govern_ ments and Commanders abroad, to suppose it pos sible that, under the new System, they might be remiss in the respeds alluded to and even whether. the danger might not exist, and increase impercep tibly to them ?—For my own part, Sir, should ,the change be adopted in all its desired extent, I am fully persuaded that all attempts to limit the number of Agents, and prevent the influx of Ediopeans into Indi2, would be nugatory and ineffeCtual. Even now, as you, Sir, must be aware, it is extremely difficult to prevent persons from finding their way to India, and settling at our Presidencies : the re gulations on that point are often evaded, and the evasions connived ar. to its SliteCSS, augments :its meatis . oi;grati,fication. therefore, on other 'grounds, it were •sale to grant what is now desired; it Would be. discovered that something Yet was wanting, and that to com plete the system, the Private Traders must have liberty, to send their Teak Ships to . Canton, to be. laden with surplus teas, and bring the whole of the Trade with China also to the Thames. • This •twill be disclaiMed, and I doubt not with- sincerity; by the present Indian Agents and their friends ; but the objet is too valuable•not to be hereafter at- - tempted :..as they increase in strength, their views will enlarge, and new enterprises be Suggested i by a consciousness of the-power- to effea them. There- . fore, Sir, in 1793, your Motto should have been, Principiis 06sta I" as it should also long• since have 'been, in resped to another important branch' of your affairs—of which I shall take a-cursory re-: view, .in order to shew that our Commerce at pre sent is our only sure dependence. - Your 'Revenues,. immense as they are; . are absorbed by your more im mense Expenditure—and that, even on a Peace Es tab- ' lishment. When your Income scarcely exceeded4ne -half of its 'present amount--when you had a 'pow- • erftil and inveterate Enemy, against whom it was - necessary to be constantly upon .your guard, you 'had . a clear Surplus Revenue, I think,_ of more than Half a Million sterling !-L-Now that that Enemy is destroyed, his Capital, and a very great portion of his Country, added to your - Dominion—now that all opposition is laid at your-feet, and that you-are secure from any but what you may yourselves pro-. yoke, you have not - a Rupee of SUrplus•Revenue,_ and are 20 Millions in debt I—buta.perseveranee in the system you have persevered in`, fbr these seven teen years past, is, in ‘even or eight years more,- to lead you back to prosperity and affluence it so.—l shall, if in exisence, sincerely rejoice, and acknowledge the weakness of my present apprehen sions. , • - • - Indian rillpire has .been SD OrtC ll Pre served. • 'lli fine, Sir, our Committee have abundantly b-lewn,, that . t to my Hon.
