EAST-INDIA M'ONOPOLY.....It is earnestly hoped that
the same disposition which was felt, individually, by
a large majority of the Members of the House of
Commons in the last Session of Parliament, to sup-
port the just claims of the Country to a fair and
equal participation of the Trade with the East Indies
and with China, subject to such regulations only, as
may be deemed necessary for the preservation of the
Government of India, and the protection of his Ma-
jesty's Revenue, will be evinced by those Members
now about to be elected ; and it therefcre, in our
judgment, behoves the Electors in every County, City,
and Borough of the United Kingdom, to bear in their
recollection the extreme importance of returning to
Parliament such Members only, as will support the
Commercial Interests of the Countrz IM ihae their
