In accordance with the resolutions passed at a General
Meeting of Shareholders, held at the Offices in Paris on Sa-
turday, the 15th March, 1850, the objects of this Company,
which was originally formed for the commercial purposes of
communication between France and Ports in the Indian Seas,
with clipper-built Sailing Ships, have been considerably ex-
tended and the system of operations materially improved ; it
haivng been determined to unite the maritime enterprise of
the two greatest mercantile communities in Europe—England
and Erance—and to substitute screw steam clippers, of first-
rate sailing capacity, with auxiliary propelling power.
The undertaking combines all the elements of success that
can be contributed by each country. The newly-develoPed
commercial requirements of France afford high profitable em-
ployment, and the cheap and long-established constructive
skill of England provides the best immediate means ; whilst
the capital, mercantile connections. and nautical genius of
both countries are united in a common object of the most
important and remunerate character. Under such encou-
raging circumstances the Company have arranged to com-
mence operations at once by a line of Screw Clippers, of
about 2,100 tons average register tonnage, to sail regu-
larly from Havre to Calcutta, touching at the Ik de la
Reunion (Bourbon), and such other intermediate Indian
ports as may be selected. It is also proposed to open a
communication, upon an early day with the Brazils, and via
the Brazils, with the Cape of Good Hope. The ships will call
at the port of Southampton, outward and homeward, to

By this important purchase the Company will be protected
from the loss which would necessarily follow from their capi-
tal lying unproductive while a new fleet was being, built and
equipped, and be at once prepared to open their trades with
the most faithfully-constructed steam clippers in existence—
possessing the prestige of their previous employment, and
the very high character they have since sustained in the tran-
sport of the British and French Governments.
A portion of the capital will be open for subscription in
England and the Colonies.
Each application for shares must be made in the appended
form, accompanied by a payment of 25f. or 1/. per share on
the number required, fwr which a voucher will be given. In
the event of less than the whole number of shares ap lied for
being allotted, the number paid in excess will be applied to-
wards the balance of 75f. or 3/. per share, then payable.
Should no allotment be made to the applicant, the money
thus lodged will be returned, free of charge, within a week
rom the day of general allotment.
Calculations carefully made by those most experienced in
the traffic of France, and the exports from Belgium, Switzer-
land, and Germany, via Havre, with the ascertained want of
'steam communication between the ports selected by this Com-
pany, warrant the Directors in stating their cqnviction that no
maritime enterprise ever commenced under more favourable
auspices, or with fairer prospects of yielding large returns to
the proprietary.
When the capital is fully subscribed, an application will be
made for permission to convert this company, which is at pre-
sent established under the French commercial law as a Societe
en Commandite, into a Societe Anonyme, and the gentlemen
composing the Committee of Supervision in England will be-
come members of the Council in Paris,
