Court of Propri F tors was yesterday held, to consider the measures which ou l ;ht to be taken, towards procuring a renewal of the Charter of the Company. Sir Hoot' INGLIti took' the Chair at twelve l o'clock, and the other Directors 11804 t►►ken thcir'places ; The CuAntnAN stated, that a Court of Direc tors had met on that day, at eleven o'clock, when they had come to the resolution of snbmitting to the Proprietors all the l'►npers'which had pulsed between them and his Majesty's Ministers d►iring the negotiation for the renewal of the Charter of the Company. Ire was sorry to say, that the state of the negociation had of I►ete assumed a very int, pron►ising appearance. 'lbis would he seen when the papers, which were to be submitted to the Court had been read. The Clerk then proceeded to read the corres pondence which had taken place on the subject, and 11140 the itesolutioni which bud been adopt ed by the Directors. The following arc the pm eipal At a Sac RET Cot] nr or DIRECTORS, held on Friday, the 18th . December, ISI2 . The Court having. resolved. itself into a Com mittee of the whole Court ; and being resumed, the followiiig Report from the Comthittee 'Of the whole Court was read "The Committje, taking into consideration the present stole of the negociathin with his Ma-' jesty's Ministers, for the renewal of the Com pany's exclusive privileges, deem it to be. highly important. that the sentiments of the Court of Di rectors, upon the p ro p os iti on brought forward for admitting the import% from India to thoi out ports of, kingdom, should be unequivocally known. The Committee, therefore, recommend to the Court to pas a resolution, stating, that the pro position in queStion is, for various reasons already set forth in the tortit's writings, pregnant \rah ruin to the afTairs of -the Company, inasmuch as it would render them incapable of performing the functions allotted to them, as well in their tOm nwrcial as in their political capacity, and that the Court camoot, therefore, &insistently with their duty to their constituents, recommend to them the' adoption of such a proposition." Arid it was, on the question,. Resolved - unanitiontsly, That this Court approve the said Report. And the Chairinan and Deputy Chairman were requested to wait on the Right Hpn.therrtsidvnt of the Poarti of CommliSiguers: for the Affairs of lodic', sad to communicate to his Lordship the above_ proceedings of this day. Lotter from the Itight Tinri. nit Earl of Duckinghaliibirt, to the Clutiritom and Depisty Chairman, referred to in the preceding !Minutes. . . India 'Roan!, Dye. 2 , 1, 1612. (Its-masa:ll, The conferences held at this Board with the Committee of Correspondence, having had for their object the most uurcsereed and candid discussions upon points of the greatc4t importance, with respect to the renewal of the East India Company's Charter, and it having been understood that no further steps should be taken upon the subject, until # communication wat made by me, in au official shape, to the Court of Direc tors, it was not without some surprise that the copy of their resoiutiun of the Pith instant was receiv ed by his Majesty's Government, beeause that re solution, adopted under such circumstances, ap peared to them to have for its object, an abrupt toriuluatiou to ell disuassiou, ;t. They cannot, however, consider it the less in cumbent upon them, throiigli you, as the proper official channel, to bring' before the Court of .13i. rectors, the principles upon which the Opinions I have to apprize you or have been formed, in order to present to the Proprietors and the Public, it correct view of a subject to which so Much irkipor:: Unice k attached. I shall, therefore, convey to you the sentihremts of Majesty's Government, precisely terms I should haVe done, if no intimation - liad . been arale of the resolution of the Court of Di rectors,. of the 18th inst. ; and with that.obje4 I • proceed to inform you, that with regayd . to- those points, to which the attention of the Committee 91 Correspondence has been chiefly directed, at the ecnierences. beld'at this Board, the principle uniformly maintained as the bas,is 'of any arrango ntent for the renewal of the East India Company'; Charter, viz. that the merchants of this country have a Subs ta utial claim to, as much I:berty of trade as they 61,1) enjoy, without injury to other' important national interests, cannot be departed: front. It was in the hope that. the openin g o f th e ex port trade with India to the merchants of the city Of London and of the outports, whilst the import was confided to the port of London, might not be found inconsistent with this principle, that a disposition was felt by the Government to propose an arrangenient to that effect. In consequence, howexcr, of the. promulgation of such an intention, several persons, interested in the commerce of the out-ports, represented in the strongest terms, that the proposed limitation of. the import trade from India, rendered the ex tension of the export of no value to them ; and they declared themselves prepared to' maintain; that Allis limitation was not called for by any ade qutth motive of public interest. They urged their claim to an equal 'participa tion in the general trade to India, and their con viction, that, the ground upon which the exclu sion in favour of the port of London was defend ed, viz, the additional danger of smuggling, could not be supported; and they were satisfied that the alleged danger might be, obviated by revenue re gulations. They also entered 'largely into the subjeet of the China trade, contendings trenuons ly against the renewal of the Company's exchtsive Charter ; and stated their reasons fur believing * that measures .might be adopted by which that trade could be opened,, without injury to the re.; revue, and withouthazartling ,the continuance of the intercourse with the Emperor of China's do minions. The importance attached to these representa tions, induced his Majesty's Government to revise the arrangement which bud been in contempla tion; and although they did not see cause, under all the circumstances bearing upon this question; to alter the opinimi, they. had entertained, of the propriety; of continuing the existiug‘restrictions upon the commercial intercourse with China, and of preserving to the Company the monopoly of the tea trade, they nevertheless felt, that the'mer chants belOnging to the Out-portshad established a claim against an absolute restrietioU•of the im port tragic. to the port of London, Under this impres,imu, I addressed my letter to you on clue 27th April ult. The observations made by the Committee of Correspondence, in their reply to the 29th of the same month, did not fail to engage the serious at tentiOn of his Majesty's Government, but after the best ,examination of those observations, aided by all the information they have obtained from the Boards of Customs and Excise, they are not en abled to concur in the opinion, that the pro-, posed extension of the import trade from, India would be productive of any great increase of smug gling, and certainlynot to the extent stated by the Court of-Directors: It is conceived; that the apprehensions enter tained on this .uccount might be obviated by va riOus.regulations,' such ai confining the trade to ) , those ports which are, or may be 'sr) eirentn stanced, as to afford security tOthe due collection of the revenue; by the limitation of it tear of four hundred tons btathen ; by attachinobe forfeiture of the ship anticargo to the diseovery' of any illicit articles on board ; by an extension of, the manifest uct • by regulations for checking the practice of smuggling in the ships of, the .Cont patty ; aasc well us by other provisions, too minute to be entered into at present, hot which will, of course, be attended to, in discussing the details of the subject. I am persuaded' it will not escape your obsei vation, that, front obvious considerations, the English Channel must, at all times, especially 'in time of peace, afford . facilities and inducements for smuggling, which do out occur elsewhere to the SAine extpot, on account of the clandestine traffic already established, and the ready conimn nieation with the opposite shore. liut with respect to the whole of this part of the question, it is impossible to lose sight- of the deep interest which the Government must. feel in ' the prevention of snmr,gling. The interests of the Company are, no doubt, involved emit but thrist of the Government are still more concerted; and it cannot be supposed that they would bring for ward any proposition, which appeared to them' likely to endanger a revenue of troM three to four. millions ; or that, if a defalcation should unex pettedly arise, they 'would not immediatetv take measure* for applying a remedy, The Company have:therefore, an ample ground of confidence, not only in the disposition of Government, but in their effectual co-operation on those points, on which the Court of .Direetors appear to feel the greatest anxiety, and on which they urged their strongest objections to the proposed arrange ment. The several articles which may be imported from the countries within the'llinits of the Com pany's Charter, And which are charged with an ad valorem duty, although, with the exception of tea, they bear a very small proportion to the whole of the revenue collected from the trade from In dia and China, are nevertheless of sufficient im portance to demand the attention of Gosernment, as the question may affect the interests of the East Indi a Company, as well as those of the public re venue. 'With this view, it will be necessary to coml.. der Whether, with respect to some of them, a rated duty might not be substituted, and whether regu lations may not be made for the security of th, duty ad valorem on those articles which shall cot , - tinue to be so charged, and which, at the same 'time, shalt prevent their: being purchased a t A price , likely to operate injuriously to the Matta. , facturers of this country. The justice of -the observations, respecting the additional number Of Fpropeans that would find their way to•lntlia in of_ of, the extol. ';iu c i x ( i t i e l exten the t t 't l it " ! s e) o b u s l • L iTu S b , e t that admitted i a t i t t ) ge t r c :S '.l ( . .) ri t l l arise front the extension of the export trade to India, and would' Scarcely be lessened by coal"' ing the import trade to the port of Loudon.-- EVeryindividtml,llnring his residence in would of course be subject to the - existing regu gat ions of the lOcalliovernments. The, situation of Lasears, who are occasiontalf, employed in the navigation of ships from India to this counts*, would demand the humane intcepo' sition of the Legislature ; and there can be 1 10 doubt that effectual provision for their maintenance while in England, and for their return to will lieritade. • Having gone thrOugh the principal points to which our. recent conferences have related, it toY be proper fur me to apprize von; that his 1131 e," ty's Government are of opinion, that the establ id!- meat of King's troOps, which may be requisite f or the preservation of the peace 'and se s citrity oft b " British possessions in India, — itati'attend ur n circumstances that it would be difliCitlt to aatici— phte; but as the financial situation of the Curt'" )any may render it necessary, that the numlters.tu be maintained at their charge'should be 'liinited.f there can ,be no objection to propciseNo ment, to specify that number enact' ment. . I haVe thus enderioured to li • ring the4entime nts of his Majesty's 'Government before yon, With t 1 1; same candour that has been e v i n c e d in our ree"',;,, discnisions ; and I can venture confidently to sure you,,that my colleagues, as well ng mr e ,„ t are most anxious to promote such an adjitstnt el between the Public and the Court of P r opriet"'"' as may be satisfactory to ail parties. hY .The expediency of adhering to that system', ~- which the Government of India • has been n • istered through the intervention of the C1191 1 ' 1 , 1.
