YESTERDAY a General Courf held at the Eal/1 India House, to sandlot' the late' offzu'ofthe Court of Directors of to,ooo tons of Shipping forlhe ser 'vice of Government. The business was d`pened:`inn mo s t bripiant and energetic appeal to the feelingi of the Proprietors, by Mr. BOSANQG ET, the. Chairman, *hose admirable Address- lately on the 'llOyal• Exelrange' has already entitled him to the unlimited apptollation: of the People of England. In the course of his speech he ,adverted to the SubscriPlion which , --had been made to the Patriotic Fund at Lloyd's for,the - encOurageL. nient and remuneration of aOs of brirvery amongst our Soldiers and Sailors— The `present . •.Meerioz was for the purpose of considering of the propriety of voting a further Contribution to Government, in aid of the War. Mr. TWINING rose, and afte'r commenting upon the patriotic spirit and laudable. zeal which at the present moment seemed to pervade alt ranks of the People of England, for the•public defence and rity.of their Country,' eXpiessed his firm.confidence in the liberality, the loyalty, and promptitude of the East India Company to'evince their feelings of patriotisth and zeal for the defence of, their King, their Country, the Constitution, 'their Religion, and everything dear to them as men.. He concluded by . reading the Resolutioni which be proposed for the adoption of the Court : . • " That this Court beholds with the most heart. Felt satisfaffion, the general and patriotic exertions which are now making by. all descriptions of per, sons to support the existence of the British Empire, and to 'uphold the L;CW3, the Libertie3, and .tilc Religion of the Land. That this Court, feeling most 'forcibly that it is both the duty and the interest of every part of the Community, and particularly of this great Com. : mercial Company, to encourage, and as far as it may be able, to contribute towards those, exertions. which alone can secure to this Company its exist ence, •and to the Country these pevuliar and in.. valuable blessings which it has long enjoyed; both declare, that it s approVes and confirms the steps . , which have been recently taken by the Coon of DireElors in aid of Governinent at. this iniporuint crisis." Mr. PETER MOORE coincided in the sentiments expres4.eil. by the H ~ n . Gentleinkin who introduced those Resolutions, which he would''very chetritilly sdcond. Mr. R. Jecieeote most cordially enincided,in the loyal and ,patriotic 'sentiments exprersed in those Resolutions, and by the 'Hon. Gentleman who 'in. eroduced them ; but still he hod some oleiervations to make. relative to the necessity of preserving ineiolete the Censtittrion Of the Company, as laid down in their'own Bye.latvi :—" 'fla' no grant of flmes , should be voted to Government, or to Any other person, or purpose, out Of the ordinary course, without. a notice of fourteen; days." He desirtl,. however, to be distinctly understood,• that this ob servation was made purely with . a view to maim. tain the constitution and Bye.laws of the pany, and by no means to restrain or interrupt thee loyal purpose of 'contributing liberally to the aid of, Government, in support of a War for theolefence of oar very existence ; and as . this object coeld tie as effectually eittained by Mai as by violating those Bye-laws, the former mode wits surely . preferable. There- was another point too; in his mind, materially worthy of consideration. It-was the shape in which the Contribution ceuld be made : for the public good, whether in Ships or in'M It was undersioed that shipping had been already proposed as the more preferable. He was at a losse to know whether the suggestion to this -effect, had come recommended from the West or the East end of the town. lf from the former,' he u' sho la certainly feel e inclined 'to pay it every due i tespeeL But if merely from the latter, lie should - certainly have his doubts as to the7stritt purity of the motives from which it originated., For his own part, he thought that a contribution in money would be preferable 19 one in shipping, as Government might dispose of it to better advantage ; whereas by holding offers for ibeemployment of shipping, a mar kk of competition would be open between the Transport Beard' and the Directors, and an opportunity would be given to the Ship:Owners for exorbitance and extortion. He there. fore wished the contribution to be in money, and that Ole shipenwners, instead of wai ting to put large sums of money into their pockets, by contracts made under the pressing urgency of the present occasion, should -be put upon their patriotism, like the coach and wig.- goo owners, and other carriers. He did not mean to propose they shoUld make so great a secrifice as to devote their ships without any payment, .but by, tendering : them at a moderate price; they might, have 'an:opportunity of evincing their loyalty,. 'and mix. ing p atriotism with their profit's. Mr. TWINI NG explained, that he had no wish to violate the Bye.laws of the Company, by proposing any final vote now. He had another Resolution in his pocket, by which he meant to follow up the two first, if they should 'be agreed to, for a grant of 10,000 •tuns of shipping. This was merely to desig. nate the extent to which the Court should proceed but thii he should reserve for a future meeting, to be- summoned fer the purpose, and for evhich, according to the liye.lawi, fouiteen days notice were required. In the mean time, however, he thought there need be no delay, as if this Court shOuld come to, some Resolution as to the' extent to which they would go, immediate communication might be made to His IVlejesty's Ministers, upon the faith of the Court, that such vote would be confirmed at their next meeting. Sir STEPHEN LUSH 1 NOTON thought that to tlelee the Votefourteen days, would be 'to render itnuge. tory, as the attack of the Enemy might be made, aid the business be all over before then. He thought, therefore, that as the emergency was ,an extraordi. nary ; one, so the Cotirt would be fully warranted in travelling out of its Ordinary formalities ; and with respell to the shape in which the -offer: should , be made, he understood that shipping was..the most agreeable to GOveinment: They did not want, MO. ney, and besides, supplies in that . way was -the _constitutional 'province of the Commons of, England (who had amply dime their duty) to provide, and not that of the India Company ; and he sincerely regretted that the arguments of the Learned Gentle. - . - 4 ' 'man this I . ay.te,ncied to give an hit ofAtsunton, Mien .onanimity necessary; Mr. R. JACKSON spoke in siirsoft of hircartner •to'•gutnent, and 'Observed, tlytt . with zespea - 'to the constitOtio . oal,Vrinciple'of thkg, a Vote for Ships was; llie sarnt;thing•as a Vote•for 'Montt.' For. in votir the one; the other wat . oecpsarily implied rite means of defraying the expense; as the:Com panyintn having Shipping of their own to devote, as in forther times, "they must procure-, them by m; , ney • -frorvolleti: ihoughrosoney the preferahls. trirrif Of 6.)m ribu t The clear notice of fourteen dam- reptired byThe ByeAdivs; Was t measuce nally instittited-to.guard against 'the money of th e . ComPanybeinggranted a way by the power formerly. assumed by. the Board of Dire tors, for - doucenrs, pensions, and other purposes, without consulting the' General: CoOrt of PrOprietors ; and the Directors were often beset in their own parlours and drawing; rums,' by the solicitations of claimants for such' 'grants. There was one particular instance, white those DireCtors had voted . ..a gift to Government of z,d00,0001. in the heat of their zeal, which the moment -cool refleetion had resumed her seat, they -repented. They consulted the opinions Of the.most eminent Lawyers in London on the subjefl, who . one and all declared the vote to be illegal,,and that if the Direflors paid the sum to Government ,• in consequence of that vote, they- would be respon. bible in their own pockets to the Proprietors at large; and in consequence, 'His Majesty's Minis. ters declined accepting the sum. It was -to prevent similar occurrences that he was so tenacious of ad. tiering to the established form of proceeding, which •ought not to.he departed from, without inevitable ; necessity. .In the present case, he thought that knecessity did not exist. Mr. IiENCHM/Oifu ly coincided witli the Learned Gentleman who just sat down, in his idea that money was a much more eligible rt'-de of contri.hOt. ing in - aid of Givernment, than shipping, as Go vernment could dispose of it in the way which td - it shohld seem mast et& tcious ;'aotl he could not 'refrain from the strongest reprobation of the conduit of many of the Ship.owners; who, answer to the ad. • vertisement front the Diretors, proposed to take the contrad for shipping, as their offers varied • from is's. per ton, to sss: and thus some demanded from iso t0 . '300 per.cenr. above the rate 'which other's thought reasonable.—Such a condutt, instead - of- marking g zeal fur the safety' of their Coun try, and the, support 'of Government, marked a • spirit of avarice the most extortionary and C . 114.: graceful. -Though, he certainly thought a contri bution in m..ney much the most eligible, he did not , mean ~ the paltry sum of 50,0031: which would be about the cost of the tonnage of shipping.' He thought that in proportion to the danger which menaced the Country, and considering the amount of the proper... -ty (above eight million:3), so,oool. was but paltry rate of insurance to pay, not 'only for the immense property of the Cotripany,. but for its very exist.' efice: It ought to L.. 3 Of '400,0001. He ilia not-like it to go forth in such way to the World ; for, what would the French, ho vilified and perverted every thing, say -to this ? Why; that a Meeting of the great East India CompanY , had been called for a contributiOn to support the .and that they had granted but so,ool. a sun which,. - however considerable it might appear Opoo any ordin:iry . oc.: cas ion, yet, when considered as thc means of the War, appeared as nothing. The Government could not be said to want , shipping, as above 300 . vessels taken from. the Enemy were now lying in g r i t is.li I !arbour-4, and of this description were. InAny of the very •vessels offered by the. proposals aunt the: ski r .owners. Mr. R. THORNTON thought the sum of so,boot.; . stalicient for the present occasion, - anti that it must - evince . to the Proprietors at large, that their - pro. perty was under , the direnioo of men who were tenacious of voting away their money Ltviihly or unnecessarily: If after this vote more should be thought necessary, the Court would have . the, power to vote it ; * but he corn - elided, that the principal want of Goveroment was not money nor s hips,' but men. - Sir Wf1,1.1A7.1 Coz-rts was infavour , Of voting for Shipping. Mr, BOSANQU ET (the Chairman), said' that lie had a conletenceofthia subject with some Of hiS Ma. jesty's Ministeys, and that their. declaration was, thithipping wPt4cl be most acceptable. Mr."JAcitsoN replied, that if the Hen. Gentle. man had given this explanation at the,outset of the busineis, he would have obviated ,the necessity cif the debate Which occurred ; for .whatev,er • was his 'own •opinion on the. subje4,. be ,should certainly yield to 'the - pr'ciptiety of giving. tht.Governmeut its option. The Resolutions . were then put and agreed, to , and it Wa's further lesOlved, that a General-Court shduld be summoned, in conformity to the Rye.. laws, for the further, consideration of •thil subjel.
