If the letter which we yesterday published,
purporting to be addressed to Sir JOHN MAL-
cor,m, be the genuine production of the Presi-
dent of the Board of Controul—and if that
production be in truth the reflection of the
sentiments of his MAJESTY'S Ministers on

Indian affairs, it is high time for the opponents
of monopoly to renew their efforts to procure
the freedom or commerce in the East with re-
doubled vigour. It is a proof to the manu-
facturers of Manchester, and the merchants of
Liverpool, that their object requires to be pur-
sued and followed up with unceasing vigilance,
and that no pains must be spared to strengthen
the conviction that has begun to be so gene-
rally entertained, of the absolute necessity of
opening to British traders the commerce now
exclusively enjoyed by the Company.
The respect we entertain for the sound prin-
ciples in regard to trade, on which the present
Government have constantly acted, and the con-
fidence we especially place in the clear under-
standing of the Noble Duke at the head of
the Ministry, do not permit us to believe that
Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S letter is to be con-
sidered an indication of the policy of his MA-
JESTY'S advisers. There is au air of inconsi-
deration, and a tone of affectation throughout
the whole epistle, extremely inconsistent with
the mode of writing used by the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON ; and we venture to say his Grace is
of opinion,—as he said on a former occasion of
Lord BERESFORD,—" that this correspondence
has been, at least, extremely indiscreet."
It is to be observed, that the object of the let-
ter was principally, if not entirely, to satisfy Sir
JOHN MALCOLM " that the Government had
no intention of deserting him," and to encou-
rage him to continue in the post he had so long
filled with so much ability, notwithstanding the
late galling decisions of the Supreme Court of
Bombay. The intimation, "We may not im-
possibly renew the Charter next year," seems
to have been intended rather for extra-official
circulation in India, than as any authoritative
communication of the fact of the intention.
Until the Government had come to a determi-
nation, every Cabinet Minister would naturally
say off-hand, that the Charter was to be re-
newed, just as the Duke of WELLINGTON told
Dr. CURTIS that the Cabinet did not intend to
propose any measure for the relief of the Ca-
tholics, at the time when circumstances did
not permit such a measure to be spoken of as
having been resolved upon.

The judicial conduct of Sir CHARLES
CHAMBERS and Sir JOHN GRANT was as ho-
nourable to the independence of those Judges
as it was important to the administration of jus-
tice in India. They might have erred in deciding
on the extent of the jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court, as the Privy Council afterwards deter-
mined ; but they decided according to their
oaths, without favour or affection, and founded
their judgment upon reasons which, until they
were reversed by the Privy Council, appeared to
impartial persons satisfactory. The tone in
which the President of the Board of Controul
speaks of the Judges, and his eagerness
to exalt the Governor in public estima-
tion at their expense, are very much to be
regretted, on account of the impression such
sentiments must naturally convey, that the Bri-
tish Government seeks to interfere with the im-
partial administration of the law. We cannot
say less than that Lord ELLENBOROUGH has
written very unadvisedly, and if it were not that
we are sure his colleagues must think the same,
we should be disposed to add a great deal more
on his Lordship's very singular performance.
On the whole, however, there is nothing in the
letter calculated to dishearten the commercial

classes in their efforts to procure admission to
the Indian markets. It amounts to little, to say
the Charter will be renewed, unless it is added
on wid terms it will be renewed. The Eng-
lish provincial associations do not seek to dis-
turb the revenues of the Company, or to sub-
stitute themselves as territorial Sovereigns, in-
stead of the 'Majesty of Leadenhall• street ; but
they desire to be allowed to settle in his MA-
JESTY'S Eastern dominions—to purchase lands
there--and to exercise that industry which will
equally promote the happiness of the natives and
of the settlers ; and they demand the extinguish-
ment of that odious restriction which makes
China a forbidden ground to British enterprise.
The increasing numbers and importance of' these
associations, bid fair to give some occupation to
Parliament, and to inspire the Government with
some little respect for the opinions of the many
respectable, opulent, and sensible individuals,
who are associated in the cause of free trade and

intercourse. We trust Lord ELLENBOROUGH
has, by this time, perceived that such asso-
ciations are not of the kind that can be lightly
treated, or superciliously regarded.

An interesting account will be found in ano-
ther column of the reception given by the
SULTAN tO Count ORLOFF.
