I[H UR S Y, APRIL 28, 1803.

At a GENERAL MEETING of SHIP-OWNERS, held
the 26th Day of April, 1803, at the London Tavern, to
take into consideration the present very Critical State of the
Shipping Interest of this Kingdom, and in particular'-the
further Measures necessary to be adopted to obtain the Re-
peal of the Tonnage Duty, ,
PETER KENNION; Esq, in the Chair. •

Resolved Unanimously,
THAT the SHI P.O WNERS present at this
Meeting, are confirmed in their opinion of the injurious
operation of the Tax on the Tonnage of Shipping, and that it
is the most impolitic and ruinousprinciple of Taxation that
could have been adopted in a Maritime Country ; and as the
uniform System of the Legislature of Great Britain had pre-
viously been for Centuries to encourage by every facility in itS
poWer ,the, Maritime Interest of the Country ; the Ship-
Owners present at this Meeting, rely with contmdence, or the
justice of the Legislature, and they trust that it will not con.
tinue a Tax, the elfect of which will most inevitably tend,
not only to decrease the Carrying Trade of the Country, but
very materially- injure its Commerce and Manufactures.
Resolved Unanimously,
That the Thanks of the Ship-Owners present at this
Meeting be given to the Right• Hon. the Lord Mayor for his
kreat attention. to the'Shipping Interest, and that his lord-
ship be requested to procure the petition from the Ship.

nage Duty to be taken into consideration' , previous to the dis
