Lord Viscount EXMOUTH, G.C.B: in the Chair : 1. It was proposed by Sir Charles Flower, Bart., seconded by David Inglis, Esq. and resolved unanimously, That, with a view to the most efficient administration of the East India Company's affairs, it has been frequently urged and admitted, that the Court of Directors should be composed of a due proportion of their Civil, Military, and Naval Servants ; and, as the Company is essentially Commen.ial, being in truth " The United Company, of , Illerchants of England, trading to the East Indies," it is, in the opinion of this Meting, equally necessary,, and of the first importance to the interests of the Pro prietors, that the Court of Directors should also contain a due proportion, of Merchants of acknowledged talents, integrity, and experience. 2. It was proposed by Sir Charles Cockerell, Batt., M.P. se conded by Charles Forbes, Esq. M.P„ and reso lved unani mously, • • That this Meeting . consider John Petty Muspratt, Esq. well qualified for a Seat in the .Direction of the Company's affairs, not only from his long mercantile experience, hut from his in dustrious habits and genexid acquirement as a practical man of business. Upon these grounds they strongly recommend Mr. Muspratt to the favourable .considorationa of the Proprietors ; and they are the more confirmed in the expediency of this re commendation, when they advert to the Company's having been in the last few years deprived of several Mercantile Members of their Executive Body. 3. It was proposed by Joseph Hume, Esq. seconded by John Blades, Esq., and resolved unanimously, That, upon the principles of the foregoing Resolutions., this Meeting do collectively and individually pledge themselves to siipport and to exert their influence in favour of Mr. 31uspratt's well founded pretensions to a seat in the _Direction ; and that they will use their best endeavours to promote his Election upon a ffiture vacancy. .

Slit---1 hove promised to state, iii , this. lett . er, what measures have been adopted to induce the world te ex amine the principles of the new system, with it yiew to its gene cal application to society. • Front the two former letters, it must have appeared evident that the introduction of the proposed system will effect a much greater change in the condition of the inhabitants of all coun tries, than has occurred in any country during the past history of our species. (if this necessary consequence I was aware, from the timeit was discovered to me, " that man had hitherto been taught to think and act only in opposition .to nature:" t h e measures, therefore, whi c h were adopted, correspond with the magnitude of the objects to be attained. For en unknown individual to speak or write upon such a subject, without the support of facts to give weight to'his rea sonings, I 'knew would be a useless task, and, would subject him at once to be considered a.visionary and a madman. Un der this conviction, all my efforts were directed to obtain the most extensive means of bringing the principles to the test of practice. At a very early paled 4.e' my life, I was enabled to try the effect of kindness and diminiSlied punishments upon a large. mike(' population in Ltinteish ire, •and the beneficial restate of this experiment having surpassed the expectations which I had formed, I was desirous of extending the sphere of my opera tions. The means of instituting an experiment upon an en larged stale, and under LI greater complication of difficulties and counteractions, were then effinded me, by the purchase, in , conjunction with other parties, of the New Lanark establishe ment front the late l‘lr. Dale, who afterward* became my father-in-law. . . In this situation I ' continued to persevere in my object for thirteen years, which, with the time occupied in a similar man ner at Manchester, gave me an extensive valuable experience of moss than twenty years, before I ventured to inform the public that I suspected the fundamental principles upon which society was formed were erroneous, opposed to all the known laws ofhuman nature, apd destructive of human happiness. At this period I began, although but little acquainted with composition, to pUblieh some preliminary essays, and to under. take extensive journeys, in order to come into immediat e com . munieation with the most celebrated, acute, and comprehensive minds of the present age, and to ascertain whether they possessed any knowledge which I had not previously found he books. I was in this respect also peculiarly fortunate, having had an op. portunity of more personal confidential discussion with the lead mg men of all sects, partie s an d c l asses , t h an h as peahens ever fallen to the lot of any . individual. I continued the same practice for ten years, during which I also varied, and. enlarg6d experimental plans in which I was engaged, and published front time to time such principles as appeared to me to be in unison with the laws of nature. ; As it was my fixed purpose from the beginning not to nt tempt any . change, except through the troth general consent of man. kind, arising troth a conviction of its eminently beneficial tendency, I studiously avoided connecting myself with any sect, or class, or party, and more especially with those who thought that the condition of society could be improved only by violence. My aim therefore, has ever; been, to speak to the under standing of the most experienced and intelligent: and I have uniformly made it a rule to inform the leading governments of the civilized world of the progress of my investigations, the success of my experinients, and the ultimate changes which the principles of the New System, it' found trite, would necessarily produce throughout society. Thia I did that the whole subject might be fully before theni, that they might become thoroughly acquainted with it, and be assured I had no other hostility to the old institutions of the world than that which arose front a complete persuasion that they were opposed to the advancement of the general interest of one species. By this means if any of those high authorities hall been so inclined they had a fair op portunity of openly opposing thp principles, plans, end mea sures which I adopted. That they have not done so is a prof O that the time is arrived when civilized government:* no longer think it necessary o r ex p e di ent to check the progreae of' reli gious, mental, and moral improvement any more than the pro gress of physical science, provided the advance shall proceed openly and fiiirly, and be unteccompenied with any attempt to excite the angry and violent feelings of one portion of society against onother. During this period I visited parts of France, Switzerlend and Germany. I spent one month in 11110 at Frankfint during the sitting of the Germanic Diet, and had frequent communica tion with some of its leading members. From thence I pro ceeded to A i x-la-Vhapelle. where I remained during the greater part of the time occupied by the deliberationsof Congress, com municating, direct} f or indirectly, with minty of the, most en lightened individuals, who were assembled on that Memorable . occasion. I afterwards revisited Paris. . In these journeys my chief object was to obtain, front per sonal obsereition, a knowledge of the existing state of mind among those who had the direction of the alum of Europe ; and, at the same time, to announce in the most public manner the contident expectations which I entertained of the near np. preach of an entire change in the ohl system of society---a change which no combination of human power could prevent, and of which, by reason of its tranticendant advantages, none would be inclined, except for a very limited period, to resist the full and complete adoption. In the course of these ten years, I also called several public meetings, with the view of gradually preparing the public mind for the reception of the new principles, and of eliciting all the objections which the ignorant or the enlightened, the learned or the experienced, could bring forward against them; that I might he the better prepared to meet the great trial of strength which I knew would soon arise between the defenders of the old, and the promoters °kb New System, At these meeting I gene rally advanced, in the opening address, some important first principles, opposed to the prevailing notions of the world for the purpose of' exciting discussion, which Might render the subject familiar to the public Mind, and ultimately lead it, by fair examination, to correct conclusions. In this way, my real object in calling these meetings was always secured before they ,commenced, it being of little or no consequence to the great cause I had undertaken • what resolutions might per' On many such occasions, when I deemed the matter of pre 3:minary address of essential importance to the purpose I had in view arrangenknitif• had been previously Made, by which a correct statement of it was published the following morning in all the Londun papers, and its circulation not only secured through the regular channels wherever the British newspapers are permitted, but extended by the purchase, each time, of be tween twenty and thirty thousand additional copies, which were addressed to the Members of both !louses of Parliament, to the dignitaries of the church,'and to every regular officiating clergyman in Great Britain and Ireland, to the chief Magistrate and to the principal bankers in each city and town in the United Kin ;dour, and to Many other ififluential persons in various situations throughout the Britieh dominions. The subject has likewise been, in one form or other, fee quently introducid in Parliament, and to a igreater or less ex tent, favonrably entertained by several of the most intelligent and disinterested Members. And, latterly, it has been much discussed in. verities cities and towns in Ireland, and particu larly in Dublin'; where, after four crowded meetings, the op ponents of the:plan found it n ecess a ry: to withdraw their oppo sition. During this period, also, the experiment, which has been continually in progress at New Lanark, has been fully opened to the most minute inapection of the public. Full liberty has been given to the rich e nd poor, to nativ es an d to fo reigners, .o conic, and see, anti judge, by the evidence of their owe senses; for no limit has been put to the num ber of days or , weeks, during which strangers might ex amine the extablishment, whether their object was to dis eoeer its defects, or to ascertain its value, for private or pub lic example. • To the prosecution of the novel anti important undertaking, in which neve embarked, thirty years of my life have been devoted, and the expence which has been incurred cannot be easily estimated; but it has exceeded a large independent for. tune for any private family. I recur however to this tlfleendie tore not only without the slightest regret, but with feelings of peculiar sansfaction. By many have been deemed a visionary and a madnuin, and I have long been accustomed to see, in print, every kind of epithet applied to my underteking. All tilts,' bow ever, end much more, I was prepared for from the cemmencement, I had from the first, omitted tittepossi ble sacrifice which might be reqnired e aed, considering the un limited extent of itOdd to be - obtained from the preaint and all future generations, character, fortune, and life. seemed but as MILITARY ()BITUAR7,..
