whose hands the whole of the Eastern trade and pqssessions
devolves by course of right—England, in her moderation,
relaxes that grasp, that might lawfully seize all, and offers
to renew your Charter, and confirm your exclusive
privilege to the China trade, on the easy condition of
that to India being thrown open, and extended to some of
her out-ports. For another period of years, she allows you
to remain law-givers and kings over millions—she leaves
your empire unshaken, and only requires a partial vent for
the industry of her manufacturers, and the enterprise of her
metehants. This, you haughtily denounce your intention,
as though you had the power, of refusing; and this conduct,
on your part, so contrary to every ptinciple of gratitude,
justice, and even of policy, will, if persevered in, only serve,
I trust, to produce a still greater benefit to the country at
large, by occasioning a total change in our Indian system.
In my next, I shall demonstrate the futility of the argu-
ments urged by the advocates for monopoly, and particularly
by Ci v is, in The Times of Thursday last. I shall also prove,
that the fears which have been artfully excited, with respect
to the dangers of colonization, arc without foundation.
