and the, by argottierils Math implied little less this a plrdge
that their privileges should be continued, at least until their In.
&amity *mild be complete, and that it is nsuatifestly salsa to
antaffillist them, as a proof of commercial msp.mene,
pecuniary arising out of thia forcible
commercial funds to national purposes.
That, with a view to their financial difeculdes, that Interred
on the Public account, the Directors, in the year 11103, appre-
hending the consequences of the transfer of the lucilan territorial
debt to England, proposed methods to meet and provide for those
consequences; but that his Majesty's Ministers refused to ftw-
Nard those propositions to India, and have not substituted any
other proceeding for the same end.
1 bat the Court appeal confidently to the following particulars,
from the close of the Fourth Report of the Committee of the
House of Commons appointed in the late Parliament, for a
proof, not only that the Company have carded on their Wafts
without any expense to the finances of this country, but that the
operations of their system have been manifold ways beneficial to
its interests.
Ist. That since 1791, British industry has been encouraged by
the employment of £46,000,000.
ed. *Fiat the produce and manufactures of India, purchased
with this sum, together with those of China sold in England,
realieed•in sale amount nearly to £140,000,000.
Bd. That the purchase Of the produce and manufactures of
England amounted to £29,200,000.
4th. That the employment of British shipping amounted to
£9.5,000,000.
sth. That the duties on imports, collected through the
Company at a trifling expense to Government, amounted to
£39,300,000 ; and on exports to £660,000;--together,
£39,960,000.
6th. That the combination of these, and other sums, producing
£185,960,000, stews that, .no an wemge of the last 17 years,
£10,900,000 'have been diffused in various channels, through the
whole circulation of the British Empire, &c. '
Tim, o, for proof of the moral and political benefits derived t
the population of India fresh the Government of the Comps?,
this Court appeals to the Fifth Report' of the Conunktee of the
House of Commons, which exhibits the gratifying picture of a
people raised from the lowest disorder and degradation, to a state
of industry, security, and freedom; and that this Court coati-
dently hopes, the improvement in the condition of 50,000,000 of
natives will Lot be intorrupted, by the pernicious experiments to
which the sanction of Parliament is now so loudly solicited.
' That the interests of the Company are now become so Inter-
woven with the political and commercial system of Britain, that,
by their sudden dimeletion, the credit and grandeur of this coun-
try would receive a shock, which must be perilous, and might
be fatal; and that the measures proposed by Government are
therefore anxiously to be deprecated, inasmuch as they must
have the effect of liringing rt.! Company to speedy destruction.
That, with such a :age in favour of the Company, the Court
is assured they may appreach Parliament with confidence, and
without the smallest alarm from the misrepresentations with
which they have been assailed ; and they are persuaded that the
wisdom of that enlightened body will never covutenance the
sacrifice of clear and positive interests of one class of men to the
contingent and uncertain advantage of another; nor demolish a
mighty practical system, which has been raised by such immense
exertions, in order to place its materials at the disposal of inte-
rested speculation.
That this Court approves, most highly, the firm exertions by
which the Directors have now enabled the Company, if neces-
sary, to bring their case in its integrity before the tribunal o(
Parliament. They tender theirwarmat thanks to the Chairmant
the Deputy Chairman, and the Court of Directors, for their scat'
and ability in support of this important cause; and they trust
that, if any opening should pretend itself for itrenevral of the dis-
cussion between the Company and *ls Mojerty's Government,
upon the principles detailed in this resolution, it will be con.'
ducted by them with the energy and modetadon which they
have hitherto displayed. JAMES. COBB, Assistant Secretary.
