' 47:AST INDIA H 9 USA, MARCH

' •Tn.purattance of public notice, a Quarterly Gene,
:al Court of the East India Company, was this day 4
held, which was made special, for the purpose of lay;
ing before the Proprietors, 6t‘ the communications
arbkh have taken place between his Majesty's Ge- I
vernment and the Court of Directors, respecting the '
renewal of the Company's Charter."
The Resolution of the Court of Directors of the
26th of February, 1812, acquitting Captain Mere-
dyth, the Officers and crew of the ship Ceylon, from
any blameable imputation respecting the capture of
the said ship was affirmed ; after a few words from
Mr. SMITH, who wished to know whether it was in-
tended to remunerate the Captain, Officers, and crew,
for their gallant defence of the vessel A question,
which Mr. 13osarrourr, the Chairman, considered as
pot proper to be then entertained, .the Court being
summoned for a special purpose. This business '
having been dispcsed of,
Mr. BOSANQUET said, they were then come to that
point, which, he apprehended, had been already suf.:l
sciently announced in the public papers, where it was
stated that the Court was assembled for the purpose
-of laying before the Proprietors the communications
which had taken place between Government and the
Court of Directors, respecting the renewal of the
Charter. To save the time of the Court, as this cor-
respondence was extremely long, the Deputy Chair-
man and himself had looked over it with care and
attention, and selected those parts which did not com-
prise any material points, for the purpose of being
omitted in the reading. He conceived the full sub-
stance of all the proceedings which had taken place,
was contained in the correspondence, which would
be read to the Court—but, that they might be in
complete possession of the whole negociation, the
Court of 'Directors had given orders for printing all
the documents, which, he hoped, would be ready by
to-morrow morning. He therefore proposed, that
the papers should be read in the order he alluded to.
The papers were then read, in the following series:
No. 1. A Letter ftone the Chairman and Deputy Chairman
of the Court of Directors to the Right Honourable Robert Dun-
du' Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, dated in Sep-
tember, 1808, for the purpose of ascertaining Whether Govern-
ment were then willing to agitate the question of the renewal of
the Company 'e Chceter.
No. 2. A Letter f••om the same to the same, dated October
12, 1808, stanng, that it was the general sense f the Company
that the Charter should be renewed, as early as possible, With
respect to any modifications of the existing system, they should
be glad to learn what was intended to be proposed by Govern-
ment. At the same time expressing a hope that none w,oa!d be
introduced, tending to alter the principle of .Government at
present acted upon in British India, and which was so essen-
tial to its interest. To minor poin:s they would willingly at-
tend, and sive them the full weight which they Quail appear to
demand.
No. S. A Letter, bearing date the 16th Decensher, 1808,
from the same to the same.—k stated, that, in consequence of
what bad occurred et a conference which was held with Mr.
Dondas, cn the 13th of September, IRON, and of the letter
which had been transmitted to him on the 12th of October tole
lowing, they felt it their duty to arprise the Directors of what
had occurred—[the prior busiress had been managed by a Secret
Committee of .Correspendt nceli—and they were then ready to
enter into any discussien on• the subj,ce '1 hey conceived the
follew!ng principles, in any agreement, should be acceded to :
Ist. As the Government of Li i:ish India had been looked upon
as eminently beneficial to that country. Under it the welfare of
the people had been secured, and the population greatly increased.
It provided, with singular felicity, for the formation of a body of
upright European servants. While the Constitution of the In-
dian army had been the means of producing officers of WO mili-
tary talents. Under these circumstances, no material chae4e in
the system of Government ought to be proposed.
`idly, The right of the Company to the Indian territory, which
they had procured at such an immense expense, should not be
questioned: it was a right which had always been allowed, and
which they felt it their duty to maintain.
3411 y, As the situation of the Company was very different from
that Ic %side's they stood at the 'period of the air-an:meet in
1599, corresponding provisions ehould be made to meet their
present•exigcne.:3. From that time to the present Europe had
been, with very little intermission, in a state of warfare, which
bad reached Indla—and thus the expenses of the Company, both
abroad and at home, were very much increased. Without in
-
spiting into the policy of- the wars in India, they would orly ob-
serve,-that they were net occasioned by the Executive Body of
the Company, but proceeded from Muses which they could not
controol. It was,:therefore, to he hoped, that no measure would
be adopt, el, which could reduce the value of their cauital stock,
and that they would be i.ermitted fully to participate in the
benefit resulting from any amelioration of their affairs under the
new arrangement. They only received the legal interest of that
money, which, as it had been laid out for the political security
of the Indian empire, was, in fact, greatly beneficial to the
eo.nntry in general. •

4thly, It- was of great importance that provision should be
made for the liquidation of the India debt; and, probably, i:
would be cecessary to ask the aid ef the pu,,lic for that pur-
pile. Sufficient security for suck aid was to be found In the In-
dianterritory. _ _

sthly, It was estromety important that the military expenses
for which the Company ar.d the Government would in future
be resptctively liable, sl.otill be now duly apportioned. The
)rfluenest of European War had more and more exteaded itself
to Int fretrii ar:d Englisharmy, cc.utending in that
soli, eoidd be ronsickred in no other point of view than as
er• 'red in a national struggle, and, therefore, it thould be sup.
oationsi funds in a pew Charter proper attention
!awed to it.
nrl4l; 'llie.speedy renew,' of the Charter was a matter of
jprintatrimpartance, as it would strengthen the hands of the
Conn a •y ; but"' from existing circumstances, it would be re-
ctsiry to.eztend the term to a treater length than was formerly
taltowrd..
_ _ _

No. 4.—A letter, eater! the 'silt Pcokrebi r, 1808, from the
Rip ht Honourable R DunJas, to lie Chah man sod Deputy
Choirman;in answer to the last. It set forth with stating, that it
contained the ideas only of the writer, and wet, nor to be coast-
idered as developiit the plans contxmriated by Hi, sivia),ity's
Confidential servants.. He concurred IA the substance of the pro-
piatheon contained in the first Article of the letter of the 16th
tettnbei. He had heattl rio argumeet against the system fur-
eued by the East lutila dovernic-: tit sufficient to outweigh the
sreakpriactiell.food slsicltyrassittieed from it. It any alteration
thertiore were made, it would probably be oily in its details.—
;t suieritt, however, be thotightadvisah!e to ex,end the powers of
tree Board of Commissioners to proceedings is Eneland, if the
fourth Article were adnpttcL As to 01V 3(,C011(1 :Will!, there wes
am necessity to discuss the right of the CoMpai:y to the Indian
territory. It was not possible to concur in all the reasoning and
details of the third Article. Nt. hing should be inserted in the
Charter that wotikr tend to reduce the value of the Company's
paock.s-and care should be taken that they should participate
fully in any amelioration which the general interests of India
should receive.—Ait to the tourth Arrele, relative to tie hquida
lion of the India debt, it wts a measure of indispensable neeeet ty
to the Company and to the public, It the question of their right
to &see territories were discussed, tt Would be impossible not to
take ieto the acieunt the great (tett they had incurred in the ac-
quisition and ruppoit of those territories. A:4 he would i,bsreire,
that the essistaace of the public would be fruitless and dejusive,
ouleso'by the exertions of that Governors abroad, the expenses
at the Company were reduced within their anneal income,
had no best:anon in acceding, with some limitations, to the
principit of the fifth Article, It was ahserd to imagine that the
Coopany could maintain a war against France, supported by
Xuroptai sari Asian powers; and, if the territory of India were
valuable to this coaxal, it was certainly right that she should
contribute to its defence. As to the Sixth Article, he ;vas not
ilblNare of any good reason fur extending the Charter beyond such
limit; pap wkit the time at Fen* WitX?lted, Ivy* male tits!
