Alderman, in the Chair. It was moved by DaVid Gordon, - Esq. and seconded by Stewart Marjoribanks; Esq..and tinanimously resolved, That this Meeting, consisting of Merchants, Manufac turers,'.-and Traders of the Port of London, who have been long established in the Export Trade from thence to India and China, feel themselves called upon in defence of their respedi ve - properties to state the true situation of such Trade to the country at large, -in order to counteract any misrepre sentations which may have the effeet of misleading the Pub lic Mind, upon a subject of such magnitude t,o the commu nity at large, and in which their own vital interests - are most deeply concerned. That the anxiety expressed by the various Manufadirrers in the Provincial Towns of the United Kingdom, in regard. to the quantity of Exports to India and China, is grounded upon erroneous data, as will appe a r by re f erence to t h e ac tual• 'Export of such Manutadures. That it appears to this Meeting, from indisputable autho rity, that the quantity of Tonnage engaged by the East India Company for the Private Traders of the United Kingdom (exclusively ofthat allowed to be exported in the privilege of their own Captains and Officers), amounted during the last six years to 63,0e0 Tons, and that during that period only 0009 Tons of every species of Manufadure (inducting 13er( and 4,000 Tons of Wine) have been actually engaged and shipped to India. That the fad contained in the foregoing Resolution, exhibits a striking and incontrovertible proof that the Company and the Public at large have been disappointed in those hopes and expedations which led to the granting the Extra Tonnage, and which was done upon the Renewal of the present Char ter, by the - desire and at the instance.of the Manufa:f.turers and other Persons who at that time expressed similar feelings with resped to an extensive Export, to' those exhibited at the various Meetings which have been so recently held throughout the Country. That tile articles exported to India and China are various; but not extensive in any particular manufathre, and there. Are require to be collected from every part of the kingdom to one concentrated point for exportation, with any rational prospect of advantage either to the manufadurer or the ex porter. That the experience of the last Six years impresses this Meeting with a decided conviction that the market of India is not capable of extending the consumption of manufio.iures to the amount which the public mind'has been led to eiped, and therefore, if the export trade t o I n di a an d Chi na, as now confined to the Port of London, be made general to the out. portsi it will be of no benefit to them, hut will prove ruinous to those extensive establishments which have been formed by the persons composing this meeting, and to the large ca. pitals they have invested therein. That should the Export Trade to India and China be moved from the Port of London, the - coasting trade, of the United Kingdom, that best nursery for our seamen, and great bulwark of our national superiority, and strength, the inland navigation, that new source of great national wealth, as af fording incalc u l a bl e f ac iliti es to the improvement of the ge neral agriculture of the country ; and lastly, the Revenue itself would, with these, suffer inconceivable injury. That a Petition be presented to both Houses of Parliament in the names of the Merchants,' Manufadurers, Traders, and others interested in the Export Trade to India and China from the Port of London, praying that the Export Trade to Indixand China may be continued as heretofore to the Port of London. That the Meeting approves of the Petition now read from the Chair. That the same be now signed by the Gentlemen present, and do remain at this house eight days" for signatures. That the Committee chosen at the General Meeting, held yesterday at this house, for the purpose ot preparing the Pe. tition, be requested to continue permanent during the dis cussions in Parliament, and to use their utmost exertions to promote the objet of this Meeting,, and that the Committee have the power of increasing their number as they shall see necessary. That the Members for the City of London, for the Coun ties of Essex, Kent, Middlesex, . and Surrey„ for the City of Westminster, and the Borough of Southwark, be requested to support the Prayer of the Petition in Parliament, when any discussion on the subjea shall take place. That the Thanks of this Meeting be presented to Sir Wil liam Curtis, Baronet, Mr. Alderman Combe, and Sir Charles Price, Baronet, three of the Representatives in Parliament for this City ; and to George Byng, Esq. one of the Representa tives in Parliament far the County of Middlesex, for their attendance this day, and for their kind attention to the im portant objeils of this Meeting. That the Thanks of this Meeting be given to the Com mittee for convening the same, and for the great zeal and at tention they have shown to the interests thereof. That these Resolutions, and the Petition of the Merchants, Manufaaurers, Tradets, and others of the Port of London, (after such Petition shall have been presented to Parliament) be published in the Morning and Evening Papers. That all communications upon the subject of the present Meeting be addressed to the Committee, under cover, to Mr. Teasdale, Merchant Taylors' Hall, Solicitor to the Meeting. That a Subscription be now entered into by this Meeting, for the purpose of defraying the expences of the Petitions ro both Houses of Parliament, and of such measures as may be deemed necessary by the Committee fur the protection of the Rights and Interests of the Exporters from t he Port of Lon don to India and China.

We have just been favoured with the following most important intelligence from America, extraEted from the Comnbrcial Advertiser of the I t th alt " WASHINGTON, MARCH 9.—The following is a copy of a Message sent by the President this c'ay to boat Houses of Congress, to the Set:late, and House • of Representatives : " I lay. before Congress copies of certain docu ments which remain in the departMent of State ; they prove, that at a recent period, whilst,the United States, notwithstanding the wrongs sustained by them, cease not to observe the Jaws of peace and neu trality towards Great Britain, and in the midst of amicable professions and negociations on the part of the British Government there, and its public Mini nister here, a secret agent of that Government was employed in certain States, more especially at the seat of Government, Massachusetts, in fomenting disaffection to the Constituted Authorities of the nation, and in intrigue with the clisaffeated, for ,the purpose of bringing about resistance to the laws, and tvenlually in *concert iviti; a Biitish force de stroying the Union, and 'forming the Eastern part thereof into a political connection with Great Blitain: in addition to the of Et which .thediscovery l of such a procedure 'ought io have on the public councils, it will not fail to fender More deal . _ to the hearts of all good Citizens that hakiY Union of these States, which, under Divine ProVidebee, is the guarantee of our libznies,' their safety, their tranquility, and their proiperity. .(Signed) March ig, Iglle. " JAMES "This Message was accompanied with doeumen is upon which it was founded. 1 have not perused the documents, but understand they contain the corre 'spondenCe of the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Sir JAMES CRAIG, late Governor of Canada, with •a certain Captain JOHN HENRY, VVII:). is the secret' agent spoken of, Ad who has himself made the disclosure to the Government and given. them the dOcument, alleging as] the 'reason, • that the Bri tish Government bad refused to give him his re ward. The Message has produced considerable sen sation in 'Congress, and , will probably strengthen the war party in and out of Congress. " It is believed by some that HENRY is endear vouring to impose on the Govern/116u some similar purpose—this, if, true, may be difficult io prove, and the imposing and positive manner in which the Message: i s is seta to Congress will have a power ful eflea in inflaming the public mind. It had been determined, I understand, by a majority of the House to suspend the farther proceedings on the taxes until the arrival of the Hornet. This was done, it. is believed„ to receive the concur _ rence.of several Members, who agreed, that if the Hornet did not bring _out a repeal of the Orders in Council, they would immediately unite in voting the taxes and declaring war. Sv-ch, I am told, had become the state of things in the House when the President's Message and the accompanying documents were received. What effea s these may produce in relation to our war measure, a few days will probably disclose. We have given the above news as its apparent importance requires ; but we doubt the intelligence, and suspea its ac— curacy." No official accounts have been received of the signature of the Treaty Offensive and Defensive be tween Russia and Sweden, but there is every rea son to believe that it was signed on the 6 , h instant. Great Britain and Turkey ate to be invited to accede to it. By the Treaty_between France and Austria, the latter is to be bribed to as- sist in rivetting her own fetters by the precarious. possession of Silesia 'and. Istria, while the King of Prussia is to have the dominions of which he is \ the nominal , Sovereign increased by those of Swedish Pomerania. When we first learnt that Lord WELLINGTON was about to undertake the siege of Badajoz,. we enumerated the advantages that were likely to re esult to the Allies if his Lordship should succeed in that important and arduous undertaking ; and the last, accounts fr,om Lisbon shew that our conjeelures are likely to be realized. Notwithstanding the implicit confidence we place in the talents of Lord WELLINoTori,-and in the bravery and discip line of the army he commands, we, were not, we confess, sanguine in our .expeClations that the fall of Badajoz would so soon take place. The natural,J strength of that fortress, the great improvements Which have recently been made in , the fortifi cations, the number of the garrison,, consisting of above coo picked men, : and the acknowledged abilities and courage of General PIIILLIPON the Go vet nor, led us to expel a most pmtrat-ted and obsti nate defence, particularly as it. was known that th - e garrison was abundantly supplied with provisions and stores of every kind. But if Lord WELLINGTON had such formidable &fficulties to overcome in Ba dajoz, the danger (tom without was not less likelY to shake even the most determined mind.MarshalsSouLT rind MARSIONT were hovering on the frontiers with armies v< hich, not long ago were supposed to be suf -ficiently strong to drive the British out of the Pen insula, and there was reason to apprehend, either Ilia. they would unite, and by advancing upon Ba- C'ilj , z, force Lord WELLINGTO,N,IO raise the siege in older to give them battle, cr hat MARMONT would make an attempt upon Ciudad Rodrigo and Almeida, and threaten the North-East frontier of Portugal. Such were the obstacles which Lord Who No'roN had to• overcome, and the danger against which he had to guard. It is pe- cuiiarly painful to its to state, that Lord WELLING TON bad, in addition, << to contend with difficulties, in consequence of the failure of the Civil Authori ties of the province of Alentejo - to perform their duty, and supply the army with the means of trans port, and that these difficulties continue to exit,"--_ His Lordship, however, overcame them . all, and took Badajoz in a manner of which it is impossible to speak in terms of adequate praise. Our loss, it is true, has been severe; no man can contemplate it Withoit regret ; 411 it is altriost impossible to tab tain great advantages over a braVe, active, ani skilful enemy, without great sacrifices. In th 4 present instance it is impossible to deny tha the result of this last most glorious achikvernin will, in all human probability, amply compensate u. for the loss we have suitlined. The possession o Ruchigo and Badajoz will not only secura two flanks of Portugal, but enable us in conjunclicit to a6l offensively and with etrea in Spain. DI treneh force in Andalusia will now be placed, irS we before observed; In such a situation, that they must evacuate that province, and probably Murcia" and 'Grenada. In Valencia, the least ex , haus'ed part of Spain, the French of course, remain as long as (hey can, but the destruetion al the fortificrition of the City of Valencia is a prool that SiwnET already 'contetnplates the t r eces,it r of a , . retreat ; and we con f ess we are sanguine enough to think, that the time is not very distant, when the French wilt have no farce on the other side of tive Sierra Morena. We have not room to pursue these observations any further at present,' but we shall resume them at an early opportunity. , THE QUEEN'S COUNCIL. --.This being the lad Salmi:lay in the month, the Members of the Queenist Council, consisting of the Archbishops of Canteie btfry and York, the Duke of Montrose, Earls Ayles• ford and Winchilsea, atte,nded, on Satnrday, al the Queen's Lodge, where Drs.
