Mr. ROBINSON observed, that the Americans
that traded with our poisessions in India, were ob.'
liged to give bonds that they would return directly'
home. He thought that the voyages of British mer-
chants. to India. should terminate as wellas commence
'in this country. He did not perceive any limits that
were to be put to the duration of oue of those circuit-
ous voyages, or that it was absolutely required that
'the vessel should ever retuin to this country.

the trade of foreigners, they might. Ais9 lay ou COO

'of commerce might be injured, without our obtaining
those advantages which the fair principle of cornieu..

After a few observations from Mr. FA.Vverrr, and.
