Resolved; That on former discussions relative - to the reuewal of the CumPanY'a Charter, and particularly in 1793 his Majesty's Government were prepared, at the outset, to state the pre ' vise extent of concession which could safely he allowed to the Petitioners against the Company's Charters and their ma ture conviction appeared then to he, that the regulated mo. imply of the Company,, was essential to the interests of the country, and that this consideration alone was a suf ficient answer to all pretences for interference with thatino - nopoly Phut the territorial possessions of the Company in India are their certain right, and that the system provided for the Got eroment by the wisdom of Parliament., together wit Is the dtsintereited spit it in which it has been adminis tered by the Company, have extended and Cdusolidated the rlt ish Empire in the East, and 'asler' to the strength awl glory of the Empire at Home. That the trade of the Company has long ceased to hear the china( ter of a strict monulinly; atol that by some further inn itilications, it thought ififlispensable, iu addition to • the ar rangements of 1700, 1 , 41, it only tie rendered is melt uri up it consit4ent with the Security of the set eon, and the 110 , 1.,iii and safety of the Indian empire.

That an extension of the trade in other products, the sup. posed effect of opening the outporte, could be realised only by a large transfer of capital to India, and its consequent Co lonization. That, if,reatieed, it might fatally interfere with the manufactures ut Lugleud, or with her commerce to cottn- . tries where similar products are already raised by British ea-, pita), importediti British shipping, and Ittid for by British ma. nufactnrers,. end ilea, thus, such eidetic...met would deeply its jure those verk parsons who are most impatieetly petitioning for it.

'.Cl►ere wes . not any intelligence from the North this morning ; the next %try' val will, in ull rt'A' bability, bring us some important news from Prussia. We nre happy to find that the active and en terprising 'Spanish General MINA still continues successful in his operations against the French. — Ile defeated them recently, near Pathpeluott, and took a considerable number of prisoners. The Party Gazette exults this day, because, at the Wiltshire Meeting, hell on Wednesday last, in the To Devizes, the .advocates for the Catholic Claims exceeded in numb er those who endeavour to preserve the Comtitution against ail danger of it return of Popish a, , centlancy in this country. One of the chief grounds of exult'ation which the Party Gazette manifests on the occasion, results front time circums'tanec of the meeting having .been called by the opponents of the Catholic claims. But the influence of party spirit may be expecten to prevail in some places, aod there is little cause for triumph when we compare this success with the general anxiety which pervadez the empire at large, to resist the pretensions of the PAPISTS, as tending to the total overthrow of our establish ments in Church and State. Besides, in.a County Aeeting, people may flock from all parts, itm order to effect a particular purpose, while many firm friends to the Constitution think they eat depend on the general attachment of the People to that C:onstitution, as well as ou the wis dom of the Legislature in resisting alt attempts to undermine it, and therefore might remain quietly at home. The Party print says, that such con duct as that which marked the Wiltshire Meet ing " will ever be the, case, wherever the no tice is sufficiently public and timely to allow the sense of the great body of the people to b e fairly anti unequivocally taken on this im portant question." But is not the sense of the people at large to be gathered from the petitions against the removal of all restrictions upon , Popery, which are pouring in from all quarters It farther sajs, that " it is a libel on the Church of England to say that they take up an in tolerent Cause to a man." Nobody has as serted that the Church of England has Ica man opposed the pretensions of the Papists, because some weak and unreflecting men must be found in all classes of society; hut it would be a libel indeed upon the Church of England to say, that it is not disposed to preServe the Establishment, 'a Weh . would be essentially endangered if ail, restraiti6( • upon the Papists were removed. We do not mean any thing offensive against those who profess the . Romish faith by calling them Papists, hut to give them their real designation. They were alwAys SOW PAPISTS by the good OLD WHIGS of this coun try, and as they solemnly declare that their religion has not changed; andadmits of no change, and as they submit to foreign authority in matters of re ligion, and impliedly in matters of State also, they ought' not to have their principles and.pur poses disguised and softened finder the name of ROMAN CATHOLICS, ba . SliOnld oalybe mentioned under' thatot PAPISTS. There is much .etliency in a name, and while the people in general hear the PAPisTs mentioned by their properappellation, they may be disposed to reflect on their true charac ter, and to infer from history what might be the Consequences of a restoration of POpish ascend ancy. 77171 ,P.-I,3IIOII.4IILE.IrORLD.
