EAST4INDIei.I-UUS.E,
sth May, tBt2.
At a GENERAL COURT of the UNITED COMPANY
of MERCHANTS. of ENGLAND trading to the EAST-
INDiES held this Day,
Resolved Unanimously,
THAT this Court has learnt with decp, concern
avid aurprize that his Majesty's Ministers have been
induced to change the view they first entertained of the pro-
priety of confining to the Port of London the returns of the
Trade to India now to be permitted to all British stibjeCts ;
that the measure of opening the (imports to Vessels of all
descriptions from India, comprehending in that term the
Eastern Islands, appears to this Court to be fraught with
consequences ruinous to the Company, and all the long train
of interests connected with-it ;by 4rnoving from the Port of
London the greater part of the Indian Trade, which it has
hitherto enjoyed ; by rendering useless many of the extensive
establishments formed there for the Merchanclize and Ship-
ping of that trade, and throwing out of bread molly thousands
of persons who now derive constant employment from it ; by
deranging the praCtice and' lotion clog the end of stared 10.
lie Sales which are uaeiul important bath to the Comr.ry
and the Company, who are necessarily reatrided to this prac-
tice; but, above all, by affording facilities for toe Smuggling
of Teas into the Ports and llarhours.of England, Scotland,
and Ireland, to an extent unlimited, and as this. Court ap.
prehend, uncontroulable.
That-the consequences of this must he the destrimelion of
the Company's China t rade; their best source of commer-
cial profit ; the failure of their Dividend, an. depreciation of
their Stock, and unless a hind is provided from owe (Atter •
source for the payment of the Dividend, inability on their
part to continue to perform the functions assigned to them in
the Government of British India.
That if the Constitution by which the, Indian Empire is
now administered should thus be subverted, the excellent
system of Civil and Military Service formed under the Cont.
pony, and maintainable only‘by such.a body, will be broken
down, the tranquility and happiness of the vast Population
which-that Empire contains, the Interests of this Country in
Asia, and its Constitution at home, will_be erninencly en-
dangered. •
That the professed objea. fir which the propcsi.d cliangcs
are to be made, and such immense Sacrifices hazarded, name-
ly, the Increase of the Commerce of this Kingdom. cannot be
iriany great degree attained; there being no prmaelicability of
extending materially the use of our Manufaetures atliova, the
Indian people, the tonnage allotted by the Company, or AI-
forded by Indian Ships in the management of
for such Exports, not having been fully occupied ; 'wittier
does it appear practicable largely to augment thetinportation
of profitable Commodities from thence; of aii which the
example of the AmeriCan trade to the East is proot ; Bri-
tish MartifaCturao, which the) could easily have procured, -•
makiiig no part at it, nor their ;Awns extabiting any new ar-
ticles or importance. •-
'lhat, therehrre, the Trade novVenjoyed by the Company
and Individuals ',ill be -time only certain trade to winch new .
adventurers cad have recourse ; and this will be no adoition
to the'Commerce of -the Country, but only a transfer it=
one set of hands to another; so that Old Establishments will
be subverted, without substituting any thing equally good in
their place; and to all appearance with great detriment to the
Nation, particularly in the Defalcation of a large part of the
Duties .--,ow collected on tea to the amoutai of. Pour Millions
sterling per annum; fur ail which Detaicatioo, whether one,
or two, or three millions, New Taxes must be laid on the
People.
That the Cause of the Company has been deeply injured,
by :prejudice, ignorance, erroneous assumptions, and of late
by extensive .combduitioN, and by unfair representation,.
canvas, and intimidation—in all winch, the. merits and rights
of the Company, the Political Interests of British India,
-and of this Country, as connected with them, have been
left out of sight," and the single object of the Extension of
Commerce, an object too only of speculation, in opposition
to pastexperience, is the governing principle.
This Court, however, confidently hope that Parliament
will not decide the fate of the Connianv, on the representa-
tions and demands oft private interests, but on just and eoin•
prehensive views of National Policy.; and the Court must
also believe that his Majesty's Ministers are too enlightened
and equitable finally to adopt airy ineasute calculated to de
stroy the commercial profits of the Compaoy„ and thereby
to disable them froth performing their political funCtions•
This Court, therefore, entirely approving, both of the firm-
ness which their Directors have sliewns in maintaining the
interest of the Company, and of the Manner in which they
have, in the Papers now produced by them, defended those
interests, Cloth recommend it to them to persevere in the
Negociation• with his Majesty's Ministers upon the same •
principles ; assured of the determination of this Court to
support-them to the utmost in maintaining the permanence of
the. Company and the National Interest, which are involved
in their stability.
Resolved Unanimously,_
That the Thanks of this Court be given to Randle Jackson,
Esq. for his very luminous .and excellent Speech this day,
for the great zeal, ability, and industry he has on various oc-
casions, and particularly on this, displayed for the honour
and advantage of this Company.

Resolved Unanimously,
That the warmest thanks of this General Court be offer-
ed to the Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and Court of
Dirators of this CoMpany, for their very able coridud in tt.e
Negotiation with Government for the Renewal of the Char-
ter; alike evincing the most luminous ideas of the best Inte-
rests of this Company, aid their most hotiourable"conduct in
the sianageinzat of S'o important a concern.

A CHALLENGE. •
•
MESSRS., CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in
his Majest;'s service, challenge the whole world to
prove a' snide instance where their medicine and method of
cure have tailed of the desired em6t. • The practice of many
years in this particular branch of their profession, has not
given rise tootle unsuccessful ease.
They continue to (tired their studies to the treatment and
cure of venereal coinplaints, and that derangement of the sys-
tem,'which is the consequence of thy.pernicious and wasteful
effeels of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the
youth of both sexes. In the one it will he found to be the
unfailing source of barrenness; the other have its ravages fa_
tally developed to them by a distressing state of debility,
which it not timely remedied, terminates in imporentcy,
these are its remote and ultimate elleCts, while consumed
lion, loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints,
usually vharaderise the earlier stages of this solitary
0 I persons languishing un.ter the disorders incident to such a
habit, their treatment is simple, and has never proved, unsuc.
cessful in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended
praffice. In the Most obstinate and complicated cases of ve-
nereal infection, such as obstructions in the urethra, springy -
excrescences, hard tumors, callous ulcers, eruptions, semi.
tial weakne.;s,gleets, as also -
STRICTURLS,
Whether recent or of long (titration, and 'which have baf-
fled the skld of other Practitioners, are by their-present im-
proved plai.of itearinent, eili hAally and permanently cured,
without the Patient stuttering the excruciating pan and
alarming hemorrhage which frequently follows the applica
tion of the lunar- caustic. lir the course of twenty years
extensive ptactice in this Metropolis, numerous cases of
Stria-tures ti'Ne been and are daily under their care, the total
eradication'a which is eifeeled by a sate, certain, and expe-
ditious mots-. of practice, superior to any other yet adopted.
The weakirss, relaxation, and debility proceeding from this
complaint ~•• ,Lt speedily removed, and the Patient restored to
sound and yi:forous health. But where the debility has for
• years existed, a proper perseverance in their restorative re,
mcdies, afte,-the Strictuts, has been destroyed, is indispensa:.
bly requisite to revive the slumbering 'sparks of life and to.

brii:y, here tinder the care of Messrs. t orrie,• and Co.
for the removal of complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, &c,
and having received a radical and permanent Cure, request .1
that references may be.• given to :hem, as satisfactory evi.
deuces of the decisive superiority of Messrs. Currie and Co's.
p of treatment. Many of these Gentlemen have 'had suic-
tares from to to zo- years, and had been under the care of
Messrs. Home, Heaviside, and other Surgeons of equal en&
nence, whd attempted the cure by the application of. the
Lunar Caustic, without success. •

Messrs. Currie and Co. may be consulted by, either sex
with the greatest delicacy, secrecy, and honbur, at their
house, No top, Hatton garden.

P.rtients in the country are requested to state the particu-
lars of their case, age, rand' general habit of living, tize. &c.

same will be given or cent to any part of the kingdom. To
