Mr. J. then examined the advantages which the public had derived from . the. East. India Company : advantages which, he contended, no species of in licriminate trade conk! give. . Now, with etespeet . to the application tor, °Pening the trale, that was not a new application ; tor s o l a t e as the year 1730, when a grew charter \vas about to be wowed, :petitions pouted in from all quarters, setting' forth the • same propositions as now set forth ; they, were answered as he thought i n a constitutional' point of view, similar to the present answers. Now too, when the tthories, the territories, and the ships of the Compaity were act greatly increased, they paid into the treasury the jittr.ense sum of 300,0001. per annum, and erne Ployed between 4:oid 5000 tons of shipping. . The application :then waa perfectly inefficacious. Go. l eroment.reiefied the petitions, renewed the char ter, for' thirty-three years, and the Company lent t 'ne million to the Ool'ernment, who . superadded to the original charter, a grant 'of - fourteen years 1 ° the original 'term; which brought the period 1 1 °v'n to 1781. If •Government thought so high :Ye, c't• the 'COtnpany then, what. ought they to tink now, when their means were so greatly aug mented It would t - e well to inquire what hene 6's the country had derived since that period. Those b enefits had been progressively increasing. In 1783, the export tonnage wins within a little of 1.0,000 tons; I°l 793,when the affairs of the Company ore taken ' t rader consid e ratiohs . the tonnage was 33,000 ; and °r the list few years, it had generally hung from 30, t n 33,060 tons.. When to this was added, thetirotli- Posnuctiber of seamen which the ships 'eared for ide naval service, surely it would not be too much to S ayi that the country was ready indebted to the East ' l c ll3 Company, for having well nursed the trade. . reape6 to the duties in 1783, he had already stated, that 300,0001. was paid. That payment had Pr ogressively increased to t,000,0001. It was then , 1 31:1 t to the Government, the, placing • one million 3te riit , g into the coffers of the country, without any tx Pense- to the State, was an undo - bitable claim for a re newal of the Charter, _and the arguent had its Pt° . Per weight. If the fa'et r was so tht e,v‘ hat would u 'e Government say now, fCir,irhi 803. qiecom; any hail to 2,500,0001. to the Treasury; and for the I ave Years, the average of paymetos was 4J . )00,0001. cahoot any , risk, exeence, or alloy 'o the State, c e Pt the alloy of quiet, cheap, and endisiurbect i ri c)ss essions - in the- East.

Gentle man as to a point of fact. He had spoken of two resolutions, when that which had been moved was but one resolution. Mr. G. JO3NSTONB would then propose to leave out of that resolution the words "'That this Court has seen with extreme concern, &c." and that which'followed. Mr. RIGBY had heard of a tyrant of old, who ished that his people had but one head, that he might destroy them all at once.- In like manner, he wished • that the citizens of London, and those who were petitioning against the East India Com- pans, had but one ear, and that ear had been present to hear the very able speech, of his Hon. Friend that day, that all their prejudices against the Company might •be at briee done away. He wished those who, opposed t heir Interest§ba . hadthe benefit of hearing., that speech, and 'of readiiig the correspondence be tween ,the. Director,: and the Government. • If the subject were broadly discussed, he was.confident that every'British trader would see that the Company had • a strong claim, not on theliberality, but on the justice, of the country. He thought they were entitled to that exemption from the Property-tax on their divi dendei.which they had formerly claimed, and taking a view of the •gerieral condo& of the Company, he warmly contended that they had• ,to •a of . wealth preferred a harvest of glory. Mr, LOwNREs, referring to what had passed on a former occasion, contended that Warren Hastmgs and :Marquis Wellesley had met with a very Un grateful return for the 'services they had - performed. .He very much approved of the speech of Mr. Jack son, as al'o of the manner in which the correspon dence with Government had b-en managed on the part ff the D.r,:•tors; He. admired 4r.

It *as the duty of he Company to be just before they were generons, and before,they threw tus 'radeopen they ought'to re 7 meniber that they were 32,900,0001. in debt. The Merchants and Tiaders tit •Livrrpoot were e ntitled to .great consideration. No. men ever deserved more of she coutory.than the. Mayor and' Corp - oration of - t..ar When he heard 4tialf7bersons were pett: tioiOng. for an open trade to the E,,st 1-,dies, it stag•!, gered him a little, but on furt: er reflection he could not but feel that 1114-prayer of 'that petition ought not r, be grant, d,. till the annuities settled on the widows. and orphans of those who, had fallen in In di:, were effectually: secured: The .2 per cent, to, t 4 hich his:Hon.:Friend had alltided, he was of opt . mon, if Obtained, could not be netter applied than to such a purpose. He wished the Directors to' be guarded against religious, politicil. met hodist 4. and cornmeicial In ;conclusion, 'he expressed a .hope that some 4;revisio- would .be made 'for aged ship . Owners, a.A that those .whit lost_their lives in the service of the Corn •rany might be provided for in the same way as seamen who suffered in the King's service. Mr. GRANT had the highest respell for, both, the negociating parties, but on the part of the Company nearly all that eas asked had been given, while no thing was secured to them in return. He thought a stronger expression of the feeling of the Court of the importance of the concession made, would be desirable. He knew of no public body that had suffered so much in the public opinion as the East India Company., • For many years they bad suffered signal injustice, and what after all could be said of them ? Why that from a small sum in the hands of a few individuals, they had, in two centuries, risen first,,to a pre-eminence in the East India trade, and latterly to the possession of a great empire ? They had been in every respea greatly mi.represented.--- Ti.e question now about to be agitated was, whe ther or not the East India trade Should be opened to all the world, as private adventurers might carry the produce of India direcilv thence to all other countries, without nreiking Englend the centre or grand em'porium of, that commerce.: He then went • into,a series of minute details, through which, from the low tone of his voice, it was impossible to follow him. He strongly contended, that the opening of their trade onght to be accompanied with effectual gnards, and he stated this to have been the opinion even of the late Lord-Melville. The arguments of the Direaors,' shewing the, fatal consequences likely to result from the measure, had not been answered by the Board of contronl, but by a general reply, that it had not been shown that the opening 'of the trade would be detrimental either to this eountryor India. He thought, they ought to have been mire prticularly replied to. The, wars in India and, in Europe, since 1793, had prevented the expeaations then held out, being realized. A rise had been felt by ,the Company to the amount of 9,000.0001. on freightage; and their debt. had in consequence been increased from 7,000,0001. to 32,060,0'001. With respect to the..relief frotw..t heir property tax, which had been claimed, he thought, it had been unwisely refused before, /and he was_ still of the same opinion. j He wished the proposed application for an increase of dividend . to he omitted, as to make it would be of no use. Under all. the circumstances, he thought • a stronger expression of the sense they had of the imiloitance of that which they conceded, than had yet been proposed, should be, carried. He would read a Resolution which he had, drawn up with this 'feeling, bat unless it were preferred to that which was - bef,n - e the Court, it was not his intention , to, totAe it.- He then read the Res ,lution, which went ' to state, " That that Court could not contemplate • , , • lhe great change about t o be made; withoUt great conc.-rn and uneasiness; not so much on account of its ti f e'whit% on their priVileges, as on account of the manner !It which it would be likely it, affect the civil and oolitiCal Ooveintuthit of\ the Company's territorial ptiSkisions, while it was unlikely to afford the adVantages, hereekpeaed from it." He wish ed a something of this sort trYbe introduced, to set forth the necessity, of acconpanying the new ar rangement withtite gUards which ought. to attead it. He hoped he .shouy not be tiriderstood to have said that the ompany's affairs were under all circum stances in an unfavourable state. Thin was by no means his opinion, as bethought East India Com pany's sock considerably more valuable than it was three years ago.' The CHAIRMAN understood the last Speiker to have expressed something like disapprobation of the condud ofthe Diretlors in the - negociation,with Go vernitietn:—(Cries of " no!")-14t. thought him (Mi. Giant) .wrong in -saying that every thing had been conceded, and that nothing had been se cured in return . Would he say the promise of the exclusive trade to China, the arrangement - made with, resped to the army, the pledge given for affordine them pecuniary assistance, and the propo sition for bringing the whole East India trade to London, were nothing ? .And these had heed con-. 'ceded, as tar as in the present state of thiats, they could be. Ministers were _pleclgedin_honotir to en• deavour,to procure these ,advantages. -Any other . ;pledge frOm any other Ministers . he would be ashamed to require. He would ask his Hon. Friend if, with his knowledge of the Hot . r,e of Commons,he thought it poss , ble for a Minister to give such an obligation, signed and sealed ? He had always been -accustomed , to coesider, fist, what Ought to be dooe.--A,id, secondly, what was likely to be done. Had it rested with him, he should certainly have been'glad to see the trade continue as at present. Great inconvenience might be anticipated from a change, bu! at the sante time he felt that they were ven t ur ing on a sea which no .man could fathom, 'and however desirous he might be that no change should-take place, he could 001, go to the length some Gentlemen went in anticipating danger. It Was necessary that their charter should be re-• newest within two years, otherwise, instead of a part of their trade, the : public-mould be entitled to the whole. This ought to be borne in mind, as Also another consideration, that whether their Char ter was renewed or not, they must shortly' go to the House of Commons for pe' uniary assistance. Under these circumstances, when the clamour out of doors was strengthened by the line of 'conduit which Mi nisters thought it their duty to take,•it.aopeared to him the: the bireeitars could only atq as they had done. Though he was against opening the trade, ,was inalouht whether-it would ultimately be a 'foss or a benefit to the Company. If the trade were at any time greater than they could manage themselves, he thought British Merchants ought to ti eye the'stirplus, rather thari foreigners ; and this he Mieted hid always been telt by the Company. He was sincerely persuaded thai the intended change be a great benefit to the Corn ;ntrllt,l a ultim ndn a o t ss, he thought the documents before the Court contained sufficient evidence that . thepirectors were ,not, blind to the necessity of ac companying the change, with proper grounds. In answer to the observation of the' Hon. Gentleman, that 3 - -oet g,ooo,oopi. had fallen on freightage, he contended that that sum was not, as might have been supposed from his statement, to be deduded from the funds of the Coerpany. He was speaking to British Merchants, and surely they must know.that the freighter was charged on the articles in which they traded. He concluded a very able speech„ vindicating the condua of the DireElors,. and in f. irming the Court of what had been the answer given by Lord- Melville, to the first proposition madethat it, should b e renewe d, on on the subject of the. renew a l o f th e Ch arter. tAr'‘alladeosfholu7l9d3 b and that no greater e allowed." To this htte, extension os p it i 0 00 p ff o tt s hi e i ee d t h e rep ly o f his Lordship w as , If that such a pre-, limikigy,.wa,s,toially inadmissible." Mr. GRANT explained. Sir H. INGLIB said, it was impossible to hope in the present state of thing s , t h e tra d e to I n di a s h ou ld rem ain on the same footing as formeriy. • The Eng lish Merchaots thought the East Indies . would open a market for their goods, and he did not wonder at their catching at any thing that might appear to open a prospect of- relief from their present com mercial distress. Disappointment would be the come 'qnehce to all, and ruin to many, but still nothing short- of thy actual experiment would satisfy them that this Was the tact. Mr. TWINING spoke nearly . to the same effea, and vindicated the Directors. Mr. KNOX highly approved of the conduct of the DireCtors. He thought the change would be inju rious to, those who were most anxious for it, and that they, and not the Company, would suffer. Mr. ROBERT THORNTON recommended unani mity smoog themselves, defended the condua of the Directors, and thought it might be well to say on. this oncasion, as Sir W. Densley used to say, " I give way to this, for tear of somethine . worse." Ater some farther conversation, in w hich b Mr. R. J,ckson, Mr. Knox, and the Chairman partici pated, theoriginai Resolution was in some parts al tered, and part of Mr. Grant's Resolution was added to it. Thus amended, after a-few words from Mr. J. Johnstone, it was put, and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks to the Court for their attendance. There were two points on which it was necessary for him to speak. They kneW It. would shortly be necessary to apply to Parliament for assistance. He had, however, to state, that for the next year (t - 8 i 3) not more than 2,500,000 i. would be requited. 'lf, in the interim, any Fpecie should arrive from India or China, even from that sum a chnsiderableditninut!on might be made and when he.stated, that within the- last year not less than 1,000,0001. had thence been derived in specie, he thought there was no reason to give up the hopes they bad entertained. The other point on which he wished. to.- speak was on the petition to be presented. On this subjeat he conceived little difference of Opinion as to. the terms in which it should be couched was expected, and therefore it was hardly worth while to calla Court on. that subject. If it wa. their pleasure, a draft of the petition would then be read u them. The peti:ion was then read. After some opposi • tion from Mr. LownJes, it was tg,rf:ed to, and the Court adjourned.

FURTHER REPORT 'FOR MARCH. • The continued . wetness of the weather has proved - less injurious to the growing Wheats than. might reasonably be expected, except the plants on. those low lands which have been repeatedly overflown in, the course of the winter. The spring sowing has been generally.. retarded, by the incessant rains, so that the getting in Harley and Oats, and even Beans and Peas, remaina principally to be done. The strong soils, it is feared, will require more work than the lateness of the season•will allow for those ope rations; particularly those strong soils on which green crops have been late fed. The Turnip coun tries retain a considerable.portion of feed ; on which, however, neither sheep nor oxen have done we 11 through the month, unless with plenty of Hgy, the necessary - expenditure of which in this - way, has Occasioned a rise in all the Hay Markets.— The Lambing Season has proved very unfavour able on -all the DoWns, more Lambs having been lost from the badness of the weather than has been known for the last ten years. Many ex tensive flocks have likewise suffered considerably from the ro ,. .—Le,in Stock has had a start, both in sheep and beasts, particularly the former.--The Meat.. Markets reniain at about last month's prices, except Veal and Pig Pork, which are somewhat dearer.—Woof is more in demand, and fine fleeces of the Merino and South Down kinds are bought freely, the former at nearly . 6d. and the latter 3d, per lb. advance.—The Hop Markets remain steady. The uncommon powers of the Author of " Mon torio" have been again succ,ssfully exerted on a new romance, called" The Milesran Chief," which, from its peculiar charaeler and extraordinary merit, has already excited much cririosity. The scene lies iu Ireland during the time of the RebelliOn, of which it exhibits an animated piClure. , BARON GERAM.B.—The residence of this foreign gentleman; al - Bayswater, was the scene of curiosity and tumult on Wednesday, from his having resisted the execution of a warrant from the Secretary of Slate's Office, for the apprehension of his person ; but on wha't occasion the warrant issued, it would be premature to state. , At the top of tht Baron's • house a pole wa3 exhibited, with a painting on a sheet, as follows :—" My house is my castle—l am under the protection of British hiw." It appears, that the Baron had refused to surrender to the ers of the warrant from the Secretary of State's Office, for three days, and at length application was' made at' Marlborough-,street Office for assists ance to put the warrant into, execution, and FIA.. riLLTON and CRAIG accompanied. the Messengers ,to the Baron's house, to force an entrance, in case of his refusal to surrender. The officers forced the garden- t yre ,with hatchets, and the prisoner sur rendered himself. PEDESTRIANISM.—TuescIay morning, for a wager of five pounds, a young map, of the naine . of We!ls, undertook to go on foot, from Westminster B r id ge to Croydon, and back again, in, two hours, the dis- ' ranee of ground 'being nineteen inles--he started at six o'clock, when odds were against him three to two, and was attended by a great many persons on horse back stopped twice on the road . to rchesh, and reached Croydon in six minutes less than an hour. - He appeared not to be able to pertortit his journ?y, but after taking some refreshment, ke setotr on his •, return, rather lame, yet persevering, he soon mend ed hispace, till he arrived at the place from whence he started,'twe minutes less than the given time, where he dropped down, with fatigue, aid was taken • home, by his friends, unable to walk. A gr ea t many bets were depending upon the issue. .SMITIIFIELD MARKET, APRIL 3.
