MOI DAY,

THE SOCIETY OF SHIP-OWNERS OF GREAT
BRITAIN.
A T a MEETING of alp COMIVIITTEE of SHIP-
. OWN ERS forthe PORT of , LONDON held this
19th day of lune, 1806.
ROBERT CURLING, 'Esq. in the Chair.
Resolved UnanimoUsly That the Thanks of this Meet-
ing be given to the Fifty-six Members of Parliament
who have expressed-their opinion of the necessity of main-
taining and supporting the Principles of the Navigation Sys-
lem'ot Great Britain. .

Resolved Unanimously, That it is theopinion of this Com-
mittee, that-no necessity whatever exists to justify the Arne- ,
rican Intercourse Bill, in support of which.no evidence has
been atlduced. And that the Shipping of Great Britain and
Ireland is More than sufficient to insure at all times, both in
Peace and in War, :when properly. protected, -the carriage of 'a
regular and constant supply of Provisions and Lumber to the
British %Vest Indies, from whatever, Country it may bepur-.
chased, and consequently there is n . O occasion to yield to rne-
riCa,- or any-other Neutral Nation, that lucrative Branch of
Trade which.- would annually, in the article of Freight only,
realize, to the Shipping Interest of Great Britain, and •of
her Settlements in America and the West Indies, upwards
of 300,0001.
Resolved Unanimously, That the adoption of this Bill at
the present moment is highly -objePtionabie and impolitic, as.
it cannot tail tb encourage claims on the part of America, to
allow a Free Intercourse between the United States and the
King's Dominions in the West Indies, which was declared
by his Majesty's Privy Council, in 1791, to be inadmissible
even as a subjed of Negotiation, and which will likewise
tend to expel from that part of the Colonial Trade which is
left for British Shipping, a great number of them, and will
increase the accuMulated distress already felt 'by the Owners
of British Ships in the European Trade, from Neutrals being
allowed, to break the blockade of the Prussian Ports, in con-
sequence of which many British Ships usually employed
therein are now at:Wally in the want of employment.
Resolved-Unanimously; That if is the-opinion of this Com-
mittee that in consequence of the Suspensions of thp Ad Of
Navigation, there is not at present building throughout. the
Empire a suflicienf number ofl,lE w Ships to meet the annual
decrease and, consumption of Shipping ; for whilst such
temporary and tiuduating systems of suspending the. Ad
of Navigation are adhered to, the great liddy of British ,Ship-
OWners will not extend their Capital in Shipping, as no
certain or adequate prote4tion and encouragement is affOrded
to them. •

Resalved Unanimously, That it is the opinion of this Com-
mittee, that it is now more than ever important, that the
exertions which were begun by this Committee in 1801, and
continued in the years iiioz and 1303, to obtain attention to
the interests of British Shipping, should be renewed with in-
creased activity ; as the good died of the measures adopted.
in Mr. Pitt's last Administration,in 1804, for gradually re-
gaining the inestimable advantages this Country must at all
times derive from the-NaVigation Al,d when enforced, began
to be manifested; and if those measures had been followed up,
with others didated by wisdom, which there is good reason
to believe .was intended, the Carrying Trade between Ame-
rica and the West Ir dies* would soon have been restored to
British Ship-Owners. '
Resolve 3 Unanimously, That the principle of this Bill une-
quivocally evinces an intention of an abandonment of a, funda-
mental la'N of Europe, universally ackdowledged and acted
upon, anti of the Colonial System of Great Britain as esta-
blished b:f the Ad laf Navigation, and a total derelidion of
those principles which ow ancestors cherished for the main-
tenance col the. Maritime Power of the Nation, and by which
the • ritish Navy has attained that superiority which is so es-
sentially nceessary at this time to preserve the independence
of the Empire.
Rearilv,ed Unanimously, That it is the opinion of this
Cortimiitee, that the Ship Owners of Great Britain and I re-
lari4 ought not to relax in their endeavours to obtain, through
the; medium of their .Representativesin Parliament, ;he-future
efieetive,- and beneficial operation of theAd of Navigation,'
I.)y which means only we
...can " rear 'and retain our Seamen,
" the grand support. ofou t• present pre-eminence, and presiVve
" our Country from falling . below the level of Surrounding
" Nationa," but which never can be done if .a discretionary
power is lodged with the Privy Council, to suspend its ope-
ration at their discretion.

Resolved Unanimously, That these Resolutions be printed
in the Morning and Evening Newspapers, and distributed in
all the Out:- Ports. '

Resolved Unanimously, That the Thanks of this Commit-
tee be givert.to the Chairman, for his indefatigable and un-
wearied exertions to support the Shipping Interest of the
Country, and thereby promoting the Landed and Manufadur-
log Interests of the_limpire.
