TO the PROPRIETORS of EAST INDIA
- - srocr—
Limns Antis GENTLENEN,—iIad it pleased. Parliament to preferse
• the present constitution of the Court of Directors of the a%
Company, I should, nhilst honoured with your support, have con-
'. trailed to be a member Of that body so long *as' Providence youth-
sated to me health and unimpaired faculties:
Bert the .Act of last session has prescribed that the number of
• Directors shall be immediately reduced to fifteen, exclusive of three,
. to be named by the Crown, a•td that the first three
Al though from the
VAC moles in the
fi teen shall be also filled up by her Majesty.
. kind feeling manifested towards me by my colleagues, I could with
- reasonable confidence have offered myselt for election as one of the
fifteen, yet I must confess that at my advanced age it would
to not
our be
satisfactory to my feelings to occupy a pos tion so important y
interests, which might otherwise be more permanently filled, and
• not less beneficially.
The Act has imposed upon the Directors and ex-Directors the
selection fcom among themselves of the reduced number, This is a
task which I would be desii•ous of avoiding d
in its but as a
ood public Man, l
entong
connected with Andi A and d,•eply intereste g governm,
. I cannot reconcile it to my sense of propriety to shrink from the per-
` formance of •thii important duty, however painful and invidious. - I
t shall thereforeremain. until the close of the official year,,to assist my
colleagues-in their endeavour to make the best selection of members
. for the new Court .
= Permit me to express my deep sense of gratitude forthe confidence
with which yes! bare ) long honoured me. It has been •my
endeavour faithfully to execute my trust. I resign it, not without
'regret, ing felt a deep interest in the duty it involves, and
. I shall, h
to av
my lateshoer, cherish an earnest solicitude for the pro.
Sperity of our magnificent empire in the East, Laid the happiness and
'Welfare of its vast population.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
