and John Murray, Fleet-street. , eludes the British Merchant from all participation in the trade,
' Foreigners are permitted to share its advantages.
4. Thu the argument which has so often been used In favour
of this monopoly, that the capitals of private Merchants are in-
adequate to the prosecuting of so extensive and distant a trade,
is completely answered by the fact, that Foreign Merchants, pre-
vious to the lett restrictions at neutrals, had succeeded in taking
to themselves more than one half of the East India trade.
5. '1 hat if any reasons were wanting against the continuance
of this monopoly, the obstacles which political circumstances
have almost every where interposed to cramp and fetter the
operations of British Merchants, would furnish the most un-
answerable.
6. That this Meeting,.being firmly impressed with these sen-
timents, deems it expedient that Petitions, founded on the basis
of these revolutions, be immediately prepared and presentid to
both Houses of Parliament, praying that the monopoly enjoyed
by the East India Company may be suffered to expire with their
existing Charter :—that the Gentlemen named below be a Com-
mittee for the purpose of preparing such Petition, and that they
be authorised to print and circulate Copies of these Resolutions
and of the Petitions, and to coerespond and co-operate with the
Committees appointed for similar purposes in other parts of the

of carrying these resolutions into effect.
