del-ably acid 'to these profits:" It would; therefore, by
evident to the Court, that in justice, -in !fairness,- in
liberality, they were bound to make some return to
that Public which plaCed such unlimited confidence
in them. 'Their establishment was one unexampled
in the history of Nations. There .never had been
in any oountry-h,Ctimpaity either so importaa, in
. its objets,. or possessing so,tnuch public credit. It
therefore .became them to lidt in a in:miler corre-
spondent to the extent of their circumstances. The,
three millions lent to Government on the renewal
.of their Charter were payable in April next. The
Cciurt of Directors had taken the subje& .into their
consideration as:well as His Ma? Sty's Ministers.—
It would be obvious to the Court 'that, under
the present circumstances of the Country,: it would
.be impossible for Government to, repay thdse three
. millions without great inconvenience to. the. public
-service. His Majesty's Finance Ministers had taken
the subject into their consideration, and .under all
the, circumstances. of the case, thought that the Loan
ought to be continued to the Public at a rate of in-
terest lower than the legal rate.. This was the sub-,
jeft which he.wished to submit to the consideration
of the Meeting. The rare of interest proposed. was
three per cent. till sir months after the conclusion of
a Definitive Treatrof.Peace, with a. power ofde-.
manding payment whenever the Three per, Cent.
might rise to eighty per cent.
The GOVERNOR: 6/07/ read the Letter from Loris'
GRENVILLE and HENRY. PETTY, dated. Treasury
Chambers, 1.806, which stated, that as
the Bank enjoy 'd at present advantages.. which were
not, in contemplation at the time of renewing their
Charter, the Public were intided to farther accommo-'
.dation, and demanded a continuance of the Loan.of
this Sum, at Three per Cent. until six months after
the termination of the liar. , •
The Govsitsox having stated the subject for the
consideration of the Court,
Mr. HOARE rose for the purpQse. of making a
Motion, That the Court of ProptietOrs-do agree to
the terms contained in the Letter of the First
,Lord
of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
He thought that the Company was',boundin justice
.and gratitude to agree to the, propoSal, and he did
-not doubt but that it would .be.unauhnously agreed

to. ,
. . .
. Mr, LOWNDES, with great pleasure,. :seconded
the Motion of hii Friend, because he .could,without ,
vanitY say, that it: perfectly accorded x,ith.his own •
.
opinloo. . : , . . - . ... .
• Afoot her Proprietor- also expressed his_ approbation
of the Motion. . , • ••
The GOVERNOR then stated, that the Three per
Cent. on these three millions would add 90,0001.'3-
year to the profits of the Company'. As. he had
foreseen the unanimity of the Court of
,Proprietors
On the subje&, he.had prepared the form of a Mo-
tion for the bccas. ion.
The OA:leg:IOU was then_ put, and. the Motion that
the terms proposed in th Letter of Lords c;renville
and ,Henry Petty be agreed to,: and carried unani-
mously.--The court,then adjourned.:

CITY RUSINESS.---The;. Right Hon:, the LORD
MAYOR. yesterday laio before the Court of .Corn* .
Council a Letter he'had received from Lord BAft-
RIt,IGtON, incloSing a Petition from several Seamen
and others confined in-the Citadel at ValencienneS,
in France, which was read, and a Motion was made
by Mr. S., DUEL DixoN, " That- it be referred to

best mode of providing and affording relief to our
Fellow-Subjects who are prisoners in France,"
Whieh was unanimously agreed to.—After ulna' de-
bate, in which Messrs. WAITHM4N, S. DIXON, De-
puty WaEtqcft, DORN,PORD, &C. were engaged, it
was relerred.to the City Lands Committee to con-
sider the measure of improving Smithfield
Market,
connected 'with the expediency of retnck;ng it to
some other place, where it may be carried into -et=
fe6t at a moderate and reasonable ey.pence, with in-
struaions, if any part of' the improvements should
exceed the lhnits of the City, to get the same incor-
porated therewith.
Monsieur Bounaureer, a French Pilot, who was in
the boat which brought the Flag of Truce, says, that
Boulogne is become a King's Port, no MerchantVes-
Eels, Privateers, or even prizes, are Suffered .to • enter,

Water a large harbour is also made at Wymill and
Vimereaux, with immense fortifications to defend
them,-and the flotilla is again equipping. •
