BAST-INDIA HOUSE, June IS, 181 S.
THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the UNITED
COMPANY of MF:RCNANTS of ENGLAND, trading
t. the EAST INDIES, having reason to expeit that previously
to Tuesday next, the 22d instant, the opinion tithe Honourable
the House of Commons upon the subject of the COMPANY's
CHARTER, will he so far ascertained as to enable the Court
to communicate the same for the consideration of their Consti-
tuents, they do hereby give notice,
That a General Court of the said Company will be accordingly
'held at their House, in Leadenhall-street, on Tuesday next, the
22d instant, at Eleven &Clock in the Fore-non, on Vot very im-
portant subject. JAMES COL.:, Artittant Secretary.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE, adverting to the
documents which had been laid on their Lordships'
Table, relative to the East India Affairs, and re-
marking how deficient and unsatisfactory they were
for the due information of their Lordships, previous
to the discussion of the important subject which
stood for Monday next, suggested the propriety of
postponing the consideration of that great question
to Wednesday.
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE could by
no means consent to the delay prop )sed by the
Noble-Earl, and thought that no time should be lost
in coming to a decision on the momentous subject in
question.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE contended, that
!delay was essential to the necessary information of
their Lordships, and could net conceive the wisdom
or propriety of hurry. He had called for papers
which he thought necessary to guide his own judg-
' ment and that of their Lordships, and he defied the
Noble Earl to deny the importance of them. He
demanded to know what was the real amount of
those funds from which the East India Company
expected to pay their 'debts, and whose deficiency
the Public must make up ? From all that appeared
at present, the renewal of the Company's Charter
would entail on the Public no less a sum than two
millions a-year. He should not then inquire into
policy, right, or fairness of the exclusive trade to
China, hdt he rntea be satisfied what right there
was to tax the Public in so enormous a sum as two
millions annually.
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE was not
disposed to enter at large into the question at that
time. He was not aware of any information being
withheld, which the Noble E:ul opposite or any
other Noble Lord might have required. The ques-
tion was far from being new. It had long been
under the contemplation of their Lordships, and he
could not, consistently with the sense he entertained
of his duty, consent at so late a period of the Session
to the proposed delay.
' Earl GREY considered the subject as being much
too important to be hurried on at so late a period of
the Session. He reminded their Lordships that he
had at an early day applied for information, when,
had it been furnished, there would have been a chance
of the subject being duly weighed and deliberated
upon. But he must solemnly protest against the
precipitancy which threatened the welfare of sixty
' millions of subjects. The dignity of the House as
well as common sense called upon their Lordships to
pause. He had requested information three months
back and could not obtain it, and was the House at
the present advanced period to hurry through a mea-
sure which a whole Session would not be fully ade-
quate to the disposal of ? He should not think a
day or two worth contending for, Monday or Wed-
nesday made little difference, but if the measure was
to be brought on on Monday, he should move that
the consideration he postponed to the next Session.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that the
question had been taken up by the Noble Earl (Lau.
derdale) as. if it were a new one ; whereas, it had ac-
' tually been before their Lordships several mont!-.s,
during wlttch time inquiries had' been made, doer'.
meats sproduced, and witnesses examined ; and yet,
after three months, the Noble Earl was not prepared
for the Resolutions. He would never adroit that
any season, or any period of a session, could stand as
lan ob.kction to pursning an important measure that
I had been duly and regularly under previous concern-
.
'nation.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE had moved for the
required papers the first day after the holidays, and
I they had nrt yet been produced. He wanted to know
what the East India Company had realized, so as to
enable them to pay their debts, and to exonerate the
' public from that incumbent burden?
Lord GRENVILLE was unwilling to enter into
the subject at present, but he could not withhold his
decided condemnation of that precipitancy which
would press and hurry through Parliament, at so late
a period of the Session, a Bill, which was to legislate
' for the whole of India. He had witnessed many in-
-1 stances of gross and egregious misconduct on the
part of Ministers : but should they persevere in bur-
; rynlg on the present measure, they must be convicted
:of unparalleled misrule ; and Parliament, should it
give them sanction, would renounce its most sacred
! and fundamental duty. At no moment since the
i first intimation that their Lordships had received of
