sent

pany, 01) all goOds imported into this country
from the Levant. , To this duty they were entitled
by their charter, and it was but small.. The Turkey
Company Was an open company,- of which any man
might he a member for two or three pounds. It was
not on the plan of a monopoly for the advantage of
a few individuals ; but out of those. duties- the'y
paid the expenses of the'neee,,Jsary establishments
in Alie Levant. Until very. lately our Ambassador
at Constantinople' was•paid by the Turkey-Com:-
pany, and the Dragoman and many :inferior Offi7
cers were' now paid. Such were the prejudices
existing, that it was' perhaps better that thOse
expenses should be 'borne: by The Turkey Coin-,
pony, than by the Government.. He was happy
to be able' to. state Levant Trade was
lately much on the incre:tse. He concluded •by
moving -several Resolutions, for allowing sugar,
coffee, cotton, and indigo, to be imported into
Malta directly in Mash ships; and for allowing
the importation into the West Indies of corn,
grain, flOur, wines, a lid silk, from the Levant
directly. ,

Resplutions were agreed to without op-

ppsi; ou.-- • -
Ilk next Resolution was for allowing wines
from Italy, Sicily, And the lonian ides, to be inn-
ported into the Vtret Indies at the satne duty as
wine frorn„llladeira..

11213INSON did not wish to mix the two
questions together. • The other question would
he one of much greater difficulty, as it would
go the extent of disctissin,4 whether the direct
trade troin. the East Indies-should be opened to all
the other ports of the continent of Europe. This
was a question that he thought should be dis-
cussed separately.
. The Resolutions were then agreed to, and the
report etas ordered to he received on Monday.
Serjeant Ossi,ow moved, that the Bill
which he had brought in for better securing the
liberty of the subject should be re-conimitted on
Monday the 20th. Ordered.
