Moved by B. Shaw, Esq.; seconded by J. H. Freese, Esq.
Resolved unanimously, That this Meeting being impressed
with the conviction that the advantages to be derived from a
Chamber of Commerce in the City of London must greatly
depend upon an unrestrained and cordial communication with
the several branches of his Majesty's Government for the time
being, it has learned with deep regret, from a communication
recently addressed by the Right Ilonourable the Earl of Liver-
Puol to John Smith, Esq. M.P. Chairman of the late Commit-
tee, that strong objections are entertained by his Majesty's Mi-
sisters to such an association being formed within the City of
London.- That under such circumstances it is expedient to de-
fer the consideration of the said report until it shall have been
ascertained whether any, and, if any, what modifications of the
Project will obviate the inconveniences which it is apprehend-
might arise from such an institution in the Aletroolis,
gistinguished from similar existing
associations in sevperal
Ports of the United Kingdom, some of which have re-
ceived the special sanction of the Crown, and all of them
enjoying the countenance of his Majesty's Government.
