Resolved Unaniniously, - •
T'AT all hough this etfinimittee illcotrimon with
the rest of tits Atijesty's Subjects, ,contemp!ate the
great advantages which ale likely to ensue from a trce inter-
course with the countries to the ,e4stvyard WI the Cape of
Good Hope-; yet they look with...the utmost alarm to the
dangerous and destructiveconsequences which will arise to --
the maritime interests of G rCat. Britain, by
the great influx of
EasOlndia built ships, wr.ich must be the natura,liesult of
such Interco-Luse:, unless restrided,by legislative rOwalation,
and that .tracie,;Ontintict*to 13ritisit bilt ships. •

Resolved Unanlinoctsly;
That the opening of the Trade to the eastward of the Cape
of Good Hope. in British built snips (lily, will pr,m,e hi4hlv
beneficial to the irjafitimeir interests ot: this i,2114t4Y•-
' , •

. Resolved -IriPl:niniol:sl3 , •
That the consen,neitees of continuing to admit. ships built
in ridirt, which are navigated by natives of that country, to
a participation in this Trade, will prove ruinous to foe va-
rious clases of the people interested and einplo)ed in the
building, repairing, anti eriffiptlient of liritisti built shuts;
thus -sacrificing, " great national interests and establishments,
to support one of dubiohs u•di ry an4lo unqUestionable danger
in the East Indies, where the Most confident politician ,alt..
not be secure, tout at no distant paiod it will not be made a
powerful engine of annoyance to Ow Mother Country, which
so imprudently admitted Its estahl,stanent, and since hai rais-
ed it, to its present dangerous state.'

Resolved Unanirnously,.. • , - "
Tharit,tvill be an ad of great injustice to the Owners of
British built snips, and to vie persons en {aged in the build.
ing and equipment of them, whd contribute so largely to the
revenue of the. Mother Country, to allofv India Britt ships
the privileges Of the torny:r, as the. Owners and Builders of
the latter are exempt front s'uch' Contributions, and the ar-
ticles used by them in SMP-building are not liable to any
duties whatever, whilst those used in tche building and
equipirient of ,British bid; t ships are subje to a very' heavy
Taxation. , . .

Resolyed UnanimousTY, ,
Thar the employment of Indian built shipping iti - the
;:
general .Trade of the. EtTlpire, wiii annihilate the principal
market for British timber, discourage its cultivation, ' and
.
render the supply of it his Majesty's navy more pre ari-
ous then at any former period. . ,

ResolVed Unanimously,
" That the ouilding. equipment, andemployment of such
Ships, will reverse the natural ordet-of the Indian Trade;
estrange the atfec.tiods'of the parties engaged in it from the
Mother Country, make India the commencement and ter.
Munition of their Voyages, and lay the fonitilatialiof a sys.
tem which will render more equivocal and prer.:arious the
continuance of British influence ;And Ilritisli.power in that
quarter of the globe."

That a Petition be presented to both Houses of Parliament,
that in future East lndia-built ships may be prohibited by
