early in February, and with a yiew' that full and
mature consideration 'should be giv9u, to that.
which he felt to'he a question not only of inipefrt.
'MCC, to the Company, but to the country at large,
lie fqr one felt disposed to agree to an adjonrn-
ment for a fortnight. It was for
..the Court to
determine ,whether they should do so or not.
Mr. K. SMITH was of opinion the Court ought
to conie'to some expression Of approbation of the
conduct of the Directors. • This he thought might
be done by way of adjournment, and therefore
moved,;" that this: Court highly approves.of the
tiyatchfulness kqui attention of the Court of Di-
rectors to the interests of the Company, and in
a case so important as the present, feel 4t to lie
theirdoty, in order to give time for affording it
full Consideration, ti) adjourn to Tuesday, the 19th
instant."

At-theinstance of- a Member, the Resolutions
come to in u Court held in May, 1812, were read,
expressing surprise and Coneent at finding Minis-
ters took ti different view of the subject of the re-
newal of their Charter, with respect to the, pro-
priety of 'coriftning their imports to the Port of
London, and setting forth the evil consequence
of throwing open the trade t 0
It was here asked, if these Resolutions had
been published in the Newspapers i To this tines-
tion an tiTISWPr WITS OM) in the affaritive. The
person who had asked it thought the Resolutions
.so excellent, that fre could wish to s,ee them re-
published, and submitted to. the Court the pro-
priety of cluing so.
Sir TI. INOT.is was' of opinion, that to accede Co
the.suggestioU just thrown out would not be in-
diciotts. Haying already been once before the
public, to publish, them tit this time would cause
theta to lo:;e their effect. At present; therefore,
be thought it was unnecessary, and the more so,
us at the proper' tune they .would appear with the
other papers.
Mr. Rwnit wished. to 'tisk of the (Indianan, if
it had been intimated; that to anfteasonable and
proper modification, not inconsistent with the in-
terests of the Company, no Objection would be
offered ?

Sir IL Itioms ansu•ered, that so long ago as
when the Cliu 'vas list renewed, in 1793,
,Finglish merchants had recei% ed every encourage.
metit it was in the power of that Court to give.
They had been allowed to export to the amount
of ,1000-tons, but they had never exported goods
to one half that Amount, and the exports .they
had made consisted principally of wines,'Whieh
were not British manufacture, at least he hoped.

Mr. ltiooY thought this ought to he generally
kuown.

Sir 11, INGLIS said, they had then been allowed
tri 'export manufactures tram any port, but they
were now not satisfied with this, and elaithod the
right of exporting to every pert. • This was.what
they aimed at, for though Government meant to
limit the importations to Certain ports, this would
not satkfy thoSe who' petitioned against the Com-
pany's Charter.
• The Ite.,;olution proposed having been alteretl;
.vas now read to the Court. The.altnration made
vas !nerdy -verbal. • It eN.pressed high approba-
tion of the vigilance, attention, and able conduct,
of the Directors, displayed in the negociatiou
with Ministers for a renewal,of the Charter, and

Mr. flustr. differed from the preceding Speakers,
and thought it appeared merely' that Ministers
required' the Company to concede shalt which Was

to their stating the terms on which
they would' recommend the renewal of the
Company's Charter. llc understood the Conti to

down by Ministers, and to deterniine- whether or
