EAST INDIA HOUSE; 21st March, 1823.
rrHE COURT of' DIRECTORS of the
'A' UNITED COMPANY of MERCHANTS of ENG-
LAND TRADING to the EAST INDIES do hereby give
Notice, •
That a GENERAL COURT of the said COMPANY will
be held at their House in Leadenhall-street, on TUESDAY,
the Bth of April next, from Eleven o'Clock in the Forenoon
until Six in the Evening, at the desire of the undermentioned
Proprietors, viz. :
J. BAILLTE,, J nnx Piostsrsn,
DAVID LYON, Wilt. MiTcrism.,
NEILL MALCOLM, SA UL. Drxosr,
C. ROBERTSON, ALEX. GRANT,
ROWLAND gITCIIELL, P. M. LUCAS,

TO Ballot on the following question, viz. t

" That this Court is deeply impressed with the injustice and
iropolicy of the existing restrictions on the Sugar Trade of
Britian India.

" That these restrictions, while they operate most injuriously
on the interests of the Merchants, the Shipowners, the Sugar
Refiners, and the Manufacturers of this Country, as well as on
those of the, British community at large, are peculiarly op-
pressive and unjust towards our fellow-subjects in India, and
highly detrimental to the interests of the East India Com-
pany—not only as a Commercial Body, but in connection with
the prosperity of the dominions placed under their Government.

"That
" as the inhabitants of British India have the strongest
claims on the protection of the East India Company, it is the
duty of this Court to afford their energetic support to all mea-
sures that have a tendency to promote the prosperity of the vast
population over whom they preside, and who are equally en-
titled with every other class of British subjects to the favourable
consideration of the British Legislature.

" That it•appears to this Court, that since the repeal by the
Acts of last Session of Parliament of the restrictions formerly
imposed or. the West India Trade, no pretension exists for any
exclusive protection to the Sugars of the West India Colonies
against those of British India.
" That as the present unequal duties on the Sugars of the
East and West Indies terminate' in March 1824, this Court do
earnestly recommend to the immediate attention of the Court
•ef Directors the necessity of using their strenuous efforts with
his Majesties Ministers to obtain an equalization of the said
Duties.

" That should these efforts prove unsuccessful, contrary to
the just expectations of this Court, the Court of Directors be
requested and enjoined to present Petitions, in the name and
on behalf of the East India Company, to both Ifouses of Par-
liament, praying for an Equalization of the Duties on East
and West India Sugars, and for permission to be heard by
Counsel before the Two Houses of Parliament respectively, in
support of their claims. JOSEPH DART, Sec.
