Sir %V. Pos.r:Nsv raid, he tot.; in purfuance of
the no'ice which he had givel relative to the
Papers laid upon the Table r.t. that Houfe, from
the Ea a Indi.t Company, in confer:pence of a mo.
tion which he had the honevr to make at the clofa
of the lad Seflions of Parliament. He had dated
fome.days ago,that a kind of compromise vas pro.
pored, of which he had himfelf no opinion, and as
he thonght he had given fu:Seicnt time for any
propofal to come from the Thecae:3 on that rub
set, to prevent the intention of Parliament, he
thought he &mild not do his duty to his condim-
ents or to his cot.t.try if be potiponed the bus-
nefs any longer. The qucliion which he withed to
come under the &einem of the Hoare was, u+e-
ther Bich encouragement wa, given to the fulcifts
of this country, as to place Omni crt a level
Foreigners relative to tlss plicate trade of 111.js 4 •

In 17313 the Charter of the raft India Company
was renewed,and fume proviiions were introduced
into it for the protection of private trade, bni the'
Diredors of the Eafi India Company had done,
every thing in their power to render fuch protec-
tion of little avail, as they hampered it in every
A% they could. In eon fequence of reprefentations
and complaints lions in.livieluals on the fubjeit of
the inconveniences thy laboured under, a Court
of Proprietors was called, a Committee of Enquiry
wa• formed, and the Papers which he had moved
fiff,aud v hich .v.,re on th;!Table, were the refult of
that inquiry. When the India Company was firll
eltabliiii4 it had two objeds in view. The frit
was, to mile a fum of money for the purpofes of
the Crown, by giving an exclutive privilege to
certain individuals, the next was, that in fuch dif-
tant countries trade could not be carried on by
private individuals with advantage, from the length
of time neeelfary for the return of their capitals.—
it was therefore found expedient to grant an ex-
clutive right by Charter to a certain defcription of
pertints formed ;into a Company for the purpofes
of carrying on a trade to the Eaft Indies. In the
reign of Queen Anne more money was wanted by
the Crown, and a new Company Ratted up, with
,pretentions to an equal 'hare of the advantages
'held by the old Company; however, after a great
deal of cabal and contention the bufinefs was cm.
promifed by a Union of the two Companies, tinder
the frin of the United Company of Merchants of
Lngland trading to the Eatl Indies. Previous to
ifpch Union the Eaft India Company west
:traders, but foon after it they began to potters
4=n-elves of Territory. This polfeffion of Ter-
ritory was of great injury to the Trade of the
C;ttinpany, (ince in the courfe of 15 years after its
eflabliflanent, the Rupee, which at its commence-
iinent was worth as. 14. would only bring is. ad.
but the deficiency was made up by exadions from
,the Datives. This cirentnitance furnithes a proof
among many others, that Sovereigns cannot trade
_With advantage. From that period the EaR India
Company went on incrcafing its polfeilions in In-
dia without any interference on the part of the
Mother Country, until the year 1783, when a
pill was introduced into that Houfe, peed it, was
taken to the other Honk and read twice, but
thrown out in a third reading. That Bill went to
take the power out of the hands of the Diredors,
which was to he veiled in certain rerfons in-
dependent of the Crown or the Court of Direc-
tors. That Bill being Infl, and in his opinion very
properly fo, another was introduced which paged
into a Law, appointing a Board of Commit over
the affairs or India. Thofe. who prefided at this
Board he thoeght fully adequate to form an
opinion of the afftirs of that Country ; and he
was happy in tinting to the Houk, their approba-
tion of an increafe in the private trade. By the
new Charter granted to the EMI India Company
in 1793, the eztenlion of the private trade, which
he before alluded to, was made, and an encourage-
ment given to Foreigners to trade to India in cer-
tain articles, which in his opinion was very wife.
It was not by confining a trade that folid advan-
tages were to be derived; it was by laying it fairly
open, and affording an opportunity for compett-
;ion. But the people of this country had not the
fame advantages in the private trade of India as
Foreigners, they were refiriacil to a certain de-
fcription of thipping, fhe.y were expofed to the pay-
ment of heavier freights ; in fine, they bad but
one line to purfue, while Foreigners were at liber-
ty to trade in their own flips, manned and found
according tw the moll raving principles ; which
ga.ve them a decided advantage over the people of
this country. Flom Foreigners having a 'bare in
•the trade of India, the Directors do not appear to
apprehend any danger ; the only danger that is ap-
prehended is by giving I:nli:bon:it the fame ad
vantage, and the Court of Dircdors could not be
brought to fee the impolicy of it, though they
could- not be ignorant that Gentlemen who had
made fortunos in India, had been found to avail
themfelves of the advantages given to Foreigners
over the people of this country, and to remit their
property through the medium of I)enma; k, of
France, of Anievica, and of Portul. It was a
little extraordinary that there was no Governor
that had been in India for fume years who had not
tecenvmended it to the Court of Diredors to en-
el rare the private trade: Sir John SkA had
ro in many initances. The Marquis of Wel-
!coley had likewife done fu: this Nobleman had
found it ahfolutely necefrary, in the year to
fend goods home by private (hips, which the Direc-
tors did not altogether approve of, though he hail
beard of no diladvantage ariting from it. But as
a proof it did not meet with their approbation, in
the following year 1799, they fent out pi.aitive in-
firodions not to fend home any country Chips. In
the lait year the Marquis of \\'clklky was alfo
c,onopeiled to iemi home fome country 'hips which
p: odneed a renewal of the Diredors orders to the
contrary. Gentlemen were not perhaps aware of
the advanta:t.e of the private Ti ade to India ; but he
Mould enacait“tir to prefs th. coolcqocnee of it
upon their minds. What v...ts called the trade of
India, he m.coild daft tinder too heads:—The
trade of ['Alia, and the trade of China, which was

to deprive the Company of any of the powers it
now tad, although it was a fad well known, that
Foreigners traded in the very articles which the
people of England did not prefume to ark for;
and it was alfo pretty well uniteritood.thar. Britith
Capital was enkployed in the hands of Foreigners
for this purpore. From the year 1793 to the
breaking out of the prefent War, the goods fold at
L'Orient amOunted to 1,2oo,00c;1. exclufive of the
fides of other countries, and it was now to be pre- ,
fumed that France would again refume, as foon
fns poffible, fo lucrative a trade. To prevent this
be raw no plan fo proper as that of giving to the
people of this country an opportunity of taking
fuels part of the trade as the Company could not,
or would not, take upon themfelves ; this would
be, to make a fair competition between Englies-
' men and Foreigners of the Trade of India. But
againfk this the whole Court of Direetwe had
fet their face • a filf-aPpointell Court he mull call
them, of Thirty Diredois inflead of Twenty-
four—for it was a well-known fad, that fence die
Diredion was changed from its being annual to
the Rate in which it was at prefent, there never
was an instance but one, of the Six Diredori
who went out, not being rechofen. Thefe were
called the Houfe Lift. Compliment Cards went
round to the Proprietors from the Diredors in
Office, recommending thofe who had been out
one year; and they came in again as a matter of
eourfe, and fo it was kept up from year to year.
The (Um entitling perfons to vote had been railed
from Soul. to rood. which brought the votes
into fewer hands, and many of thofc In interef.
*ted in Randing well with the DireCtots, that look-
ing to their own intent}, they dare not oppofe
them. The different tradefpeople of the Com-
pany mull Vote for the perfons recommended by
theft in Office, or loft their bufinefs. He con-
tended, therefore, that lie was juftified in Riling
them felf-chofen, and, in conlidering them a dan-
gerous Arißocracy, the worn of all Governments
—worfc even than a Democracy. This Aritto-
eracy had fpoken with all their might againft the
Private Trade of India. They Paid, the very ex-
iftence of the Company was in danger if the private
trade was increafed ; but in oppofition to this,
be should adduce the opinions of the Marquis
Cornwallis—of thole Governors he had already
named, and of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr.
Dundas) who had fo long and fo ably prefided at
the head of the Scud of Controul. To the opi-
nions of there Right Hon. Gentlemen he svithed to
call the attention of the Houfe ; he wifhed them
to pernfe with attention that Right Hon. Gentle.
man's Letters to the Company upon the fubjed,
and they could not fail to agree withlim in opi-
nion, that the fears of the Diredors were for
their own power, and not for the very exinence of
the Company, as they pretended; and when the
advantages a Diredor enjoyed were confidered, it
was not to be wondered at that they should be fo
tenacious of hiring them. They had the pun
chafing of goods ; they were enabled to give a
preference of their vaft bufinefs where they pleated.
They had the taking up of kipping, the appoint-
ment of tradefpeople for thole dripping, betides ,
other great and extenfive patronage, both in I
England and India. There were fufficient mo-
tives to Rimulate them in their oppolition to any
meafure which might be likely to reduce their
power. The refolutions of the Court of Dirofors
were drawn up in fnpport of their opinions, with
a degree of ingenuity which certainly made the
work argument appear the better. For the per-
Yon who framed thele refidutions ht had a very
great refped ; but he was not to he convinead
by fuel' arguments, in nppoGtion to his judgment.
The Conipany, he underftood, was about-to in-
creak its capital, but not for the purpofes of trade
—it was to give away to the Princes of India.
But, inflead of as jams& for filch a purpofe,
how much better would it be to enable indivi-
duals to increase the refoarces of the country by
commerce 1 In the report, a great deal had been I
Paid relative to colonisation. The India Company
contended, the increafe of private trade would
.tend to colonization ; and the result might lus
what we had already experienced with rd-ped to
America. For his part, he had no fears on that
I head. America had a climate Similar to our
, own : its foil and situation invited colonization—
the very reverie was the cafe as far as regarded
India, and he had no hefitation it: fa ying, it would
be found that perfons would, as heretofore, return
to England whenever their circumilances permit-
ted them to do fo. But, admitting the argument
to bea good one, it was not his with to interfere with '
the laws as they now Rood relative to a refulence in I
India; and at prelim no perfon could remain in
the country without the perntiffion of the Compa-
ny, nor go farther than a certain number of miles
( very few) inland to relide for the purpofes ',fent-
tivation, except for the cultivation of indigo alone.
Allowing the Company the fame powers they now
poiktf:d, he raw no realm to dread colonization.
—Much had alfo been Paid relative to the hring-
ing Lifears to this country; this °Nation he alto
thought ewild be eerily obviated by forcing the
Ifhips Ix looping to ,the private trade to navigate
with liiitifh tailors; which would increafe our
feanien, and would be found beneficial when this
country night be awn engaged in a war. In na-
vigating with Briti4-failors, the private merchants
trading to India would find their account. (ince
upon a computation seven Britik (cameo were
found to be equal to twelve Loan ; therdore the
faring of wages by employ ing Latears would be
more than counterbalanced by the confuniption of
prov..fains, and
_by fist that would be
laved the each ItieittMeeery rattle more

than half the qnantity of provifions, wbs manned
by liritißt fcamen, thirn they would have to carry
when manned by latfcars. It had alfo been Rat-
: ed, that the morals of the Lafcars would Ore cor-
rupted in this country, and that the people of in-
; dia would receive a bad impreffion of this country
, from the conduit and reports of the Lafcars who
fhould return. To this •be could only obferve,
that if fuch were really the cafe, precautions might
be recoiled to at no very great cipencc ; but as
I far as he had been able to form an opinion on, the
fubjed, the I.a cars that came over in the Men
chants' fhips were taken care of until thole (hips
Iwere ready to return, and it was the Lalcara
who came over in the Company's chips that were
(offered to wander about the Rivets negleded,
and expofed to having their morals corrupted, and
receiving a bad impredion of this country.—
1 —The whole of this objection he confidered•a
chimera. With relPed to the building of (hips
in India, he underftood that the builders in this
country were not averfe to this part of the plan,
becaufe there was more money made by re-
pairs than by building ; and he thought the fearci-
ty of timber in this country, and the expence we
were at through importing it in logs, was one of
the Itrongeft arguments why Government flioald
employ fhips built in India. The timber in that
country was found fuperior in the building of (hips
to our oak, and it would be found much more Ise-
neficial to import it in (hips than in logs. Upon,
the whole, he thought the fubjed a fit one for the
confideration of Parliament. It was a hibjed
! which he wilhed to be under Rood in the Country,
for he well knew the people of this country were
capable of underlianding ; and lie was aware if
they law it in its proper light, the great influence
of the thirty Diredors, nor even of the Govern-1
mentitfelf, could not prevent the people of. Eng •
land.from carrying any plan which they confider-
cd beneficial to their interefts and their commerce.
There had been too many inftanceaof the Govern-
ment being obliged to accede to the popnlar opi-
nion, to doubt this affertion. He then moved,
" That a Committee be appointed to confider of
the papers laid before that Houfe by the Era In-
dia Company, relative to the trade between this
country and the Lail Indies, to which the laid pa-
pers referred."
The CHANCELLOR ofthe EXCHEQNER.—Sir, nei-
ther the Right Hon. Baronet who (poke haft, nor
any other Member of this Honk, can attach more
importance to this queflion than I do. I feel it to
be that which involves the greaten commercial and
political intereas. In Rating this, I give full cre-
dit to the Honourable Baronet for the motives he
afcribes to himfelf in bringing it forwarl: I know
that it is a fubjed to which his attention has been
much directed. I refpcd the grounds on which
his opinions arc founded, as well as the good feofe
and temper in which they have been Rated; and I
am certain that nothing but a fenfe of the deepim-
portance of this fubjed to the country could have
induced him to agitate it.' The Heriourable Ba.l
ronet has entered trivia hiflory of the affairs of the
Eall India Company from their eftablithment. The
Hoirfe will exciefe me, if I do not follow him
through all thefe details. I think it can only be
necelfary for me to notice what he has laid relative
to the Private Trade of India. I (hall therefore
commence my obfervations from the year 1793,
when Parliament thought proper to renew the
Charter of the EaR India Company. The Hon.
Baronet has Rated, that previous to that period,
greatoblirtglions were thrown in the way of the Pri-
vate Trade. That certainly was the cafe ; hut the
Houfe would recoiled, that until then no Private
Trade was legal. The Charter of the India Com-
pany did not allow that traffic to be carried on, and
all that was carried on was illicit. The trade, it
is true, was then chiefly in the hands of foreigners,
greatly to the injury of this country. In granting
a new Charter, however, to the India Company,
Parliament thought proper to authorife this trade,
'and it was then firft recognized as legal. It was
hipulated, that the India Company should fornith
3000 tons of (hipping for the rife of private traders:
this I acknowledge has been found too little for the
purpofe intended ; but thole who framed the Bill
which contained this regulation, wifely introduced
a claufe, empowering the India Company to em-
ploy a greater quantity of tonnage. The framers
of that Bill, in my opinion, witcly applied their
great experience and knowledge to the affairs of
India, and 1 think their dillinguillied talents were
in nothing more eminently ditplayed than in the
regulations they formed refpcaing the trade with
India. I am not prepared toffs, that on the part
of the Diredora, that facility has been given to
the private trade which Parliament intended (hould
be given when the Bill was paired : but though the
Di!edors have not given all the facility that might
have been expeeted, the Houle will find that the
private trade has doubled fir.cc the year 1794 ; that
is, fare: the firhl year after it was rendered legal.
Its encreale during the intermediate years has been
regol it and nearly equal. IVith regard to what
the Ilnannrable Baronet has fii:d Ipeding India
built 'hips, I mutt indeed adn:it this, that the pi-
t/ale trade has Always been proportion-Inv greater
in thole years, %%lien the ar rivals of thief.: !hip. from
India were molt numerous. I sleet tic I dis not ,
r.:ert this quellion with any pi ejlhce. I 'hall de-
lire the Bade todecidc upon it,from the II itemcn4
that will be laid befor.: them. My Itatcrncnt will
not be altogether contradisain y to that of the Hon.
11.tron-:t, hilt in many acfpeds fitulcnit mat y to it.
The Houle will then judge horn the fads before
them. The I If n. Rat t. has Rated that all the Gtr
senor' ul India have been of the Rime upsii;lM AS
that which L, has expreiled refpcaing the private
trail.- I am OA certain that they have all been cf
that opinion • but I
am fully aware that Toy Noble
Fraaid,the Nearquis of Wellefley,doe,- not cone ar in •
the 1, ntintents which the I fon. Bart. has fob:rimed
to the Houle. The Noble Marquis did prepare
means for bringing home the trade of Ins.t.3, and
fumecinrtwiolij:lliun s had been made to the mea-
a theta objedions Were now aban.

Or I ?medal.' have come to the determination of
e..iiiirming the refolutien of my Nobl.: Friend --
The means for bringing home ehe track of the

trade ; and if there fhoutd be a deficiency r"

Company, which Trade was to he brought home

frquences with a c•-ontiderable degree of jealoufy,
bccaufe if this inquiry was entered into, there was
hardly one tingle point relating to India which
might not he brought under invekigation by
the prefent Motion, and ther.fore he could not
give it his Ilopport. He lamented that upon
a fubjeet of fuels importance, men's minds
had been to heated, and they had gone into fuch
exo temes of opinion, that he wits fine, upon
cool refleCtion, they would not adhere to them.—
He knew that on one fide,npinions were entertain-
ed, which, if they were carried into tree, would
tend to the utter deßruaion of the Eall India Com-
pany.—Undoubtedly, fuch fentiments could notbe
likened to in this Houle, and he only mentioned
them to (hew to what extremes, even fenfible men,
might be carried, when they fuffered their minds
to be heated by controverfy. The ground upon
which he ffiould give his vote, to-night, was this,
that be did not conceive tha.. fufficient reatons had
been Hated to induce the Houfc to go into the In-
m.iry, and that he thought it was a direa attack
upon the charter of the haft India Company. Per-
haps the charge of incontinency would be urged
againa him when his present language was com-
pared with the condua of the Board of Controul,
but he did not think that imputation could be jnftiv
made. From the documents which had been fooh-
mitted to that Board, it appeared to them, that
much important matter was involved, and they
fent for farther information. In the mean time the
Hon. Baronet applied to the lioute for Papers,
and they were ordered.—What then was the duty
of the Board of Controul ? Cerrainiy not to prejudge
the queffion, but to leave itopen for difeuffion,
order that it might undergo the molt clear and un-
fettered invelligation poflible. Such was the opi-
nion and the condo& of the Board of Controul upon
this fubjea, and therefore, he felt himfelfperfealy
at liberty to Rate, that in his opinion, it was im-
proper to go into the inquiry now propofed. He
wither', however, to obterve, that it never had
been the with of the Board of Controul, to exceed
the powers which had been given them by Parlia-
ment ; but the At of 1793 did not put it beyond
the power of the Board of Controul to interfere in
commercial quellions; tl:ey certainly were preclud-
ed from interfering with the trade carried on by
the Eall India Company, but certainly not with
that carried on by individuals. In the courfe of 'his
difeufficio, the opinion of Mr. Dsmdas had been re-
ferred to; he certainly was difpofed to 'pay as much
refpea as any man to the opinion a that Right
Honourable Gentleman, but upon this occafion,
the grounds of that opinion had not been (lac-
ed, and upon a full confederation of the fub-
jea, he could not entirely affent -to that autho-
eity for which no reafon had been affigned.-
-On the other hand, however, he could not conceive
how this could be dated by the Board of Directors
as a mere commercial queftion, it certainly was
' ndt, and even in their own Report they had termed
it, a Queftion of great National Policy. But it
might be Paid, Why did you not oppofe pru-
dation of Papers ? In anfwer to that queilion he
begged leave to obferve, that it was at all times ra-
ther an ungracious meafute to oppofe the produc-
tion of Papers, particularly if no injury could arife
from their produaion ; but in the prefent inkance,
it was from the produltion of the Papers that he
was led to think that no further proceedings ought
to take place. In his opinion very Prong ground
indeed ought to be laid to induce the Houle to en-
ter into this inquiry, and the Hun. Baronet who
had made the motion had, as it appeared to him,
totally failed in laying any ground whatever.—
The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to take a
view of the affairs of the Ea ft India Company, after
which he adverted to an obtervation which had
fallen from the Comfit Lima of the Ext
retpeaing the dangers of Colonization, in which
he differed in tome degree from his Right Hon.
Friend.. lie was decidedly of opinion, that all the
apprehenflons which were entertained about the
danger of Colonization in India were perfealy
chimerical, as long as this Country fet its face
itgaink it.—He coafidered the care of India and
America to be cffentially different ; and even in
the cafe of America, 200 years elapfed before
this Country fuffered any inconvenience from that
quarter. As to what had been Paid about Lafcars,
and that they would make reprefentations in
India about the fort of people they met with
in Wapping, which reprefentations might be
prejudicial to the Bridal Power in India, lie
con4idered it as too childifh to be entitled to al
moment's confidnration ; but with regard to
the employment of Foreign Sailors, he thought
it a fubjea more delaying of attention, be.
becaufe he fhould be extremely Lorry if they were
'to be employed to the exchilion of Erna Sailors.l
That, however, was an event of which he did not '
think there was any great danger.—He concluded
with raying, that he conlidercd the Britith Power
in ludia as moll intimately conneaed with the es.
itlence of the Eaft India Company ; but even if it
were not, he (hould be ferry to fee the power now
pofreffed by that Company in the hands of Go-
vernment, becaufc he conceived that it would create
a Power extremely dangerous to the Connitution.
Sir Fa sir cos BARING Laid, that the pralent
claim had been fet up againfl the Eak India Conw
pauy by perfons who owed every thing they ;art-
'cried to that Company ; it was in feet, children
contending again(( their parent, and endeavnuring
to rob her of her molt undoubted and moil eCin.
tial rights. During the mule of the difeugion,
many charges had been brought againk the Court
of Dire9ors ; but, if their toadish& was fairly in.
veiligated, it would appear that the had ripen
every oeerefion ailed impartially as Truitees for
The Britifh Fmpor:. and that they had no private
;ntereft Of their own,
o one way or other, upon
this quellion. If an of there charges had been
proved againk the Court of Direaora. it would
indeed be a gpod ground for latioity ; bet it did

not appear to him that they had bean in any de-
gree tubfiantiated. In the regulation which took
place in the year 1793, the ohjeCt of Government
was as much as pa& to encourage the manu-
faCtures of Great Britain and Ireland, and great
pains were taken by Government and by the Court
of Diredors to embrace every objeat that could
tend to that point. It was propofed that three
•thourand tons fhould be allowed : the Court of
Dire tors laid, if that is not enough take double ;
only let us underfland what we are atom.- The
Court alto laid, if the ManufaCturets of Great 13ri-1
tain and Ireland chofe to export theirmanufaduressl
we will furniftt them with (hips, and give them
every accommodation in our power, only let the
Trade be carried on in British Ships ; but if vet.-
fels are to be introduced, not built in England, and
not navigated by Britill Seamen, then we mull op-
pofc it. But this would not anfwer their purpore,
becaufe their objell was to employnot Britith built,
but Teak ships. It had been raid, that if the pri-
vate Traders were indulged in their demands,
.they would bring the Trade, now carried on by
Foreigners, to, the port of London, becaufe they
could carry on the Trade cheaper than Foreign-
ers; but there were authentic documents that
proved beyond a doubt, that this was imPoifi-
hie. But if there was any truth in their atii:rtioti,
it mutt foliose that in proportion az the Pt ivat:Trade
increafed, the Trade carried (II by Foreigners mutt
be diminithed. Was this tie cafe ? There were
but three defcriptions of Trade carried on with
India, viz. The Foreign Trade, the Private Trade
carried on from the River Ishaates, and that carried
on by the EaR India Comptny.--Now as the Pri-
vate Trade profelfed not to injure the Company, it
mull follow that as this'll:lde inerrafil, that car-
ried on by Foreigners mull proportionably dinii-
, nith ; but it appeared on the contrary, by the re-
turns for 1799 and i Soo, that the Private Trade
had increased, and that at the fame time the Fo-
reign Trade had increafed to neatly double. The
i fad was, that as the Private Trade increafed, that
of the EaR India Company diminifited, bemire the
Private did not interfere with the Foreign Trade.
With regard to the fubjeEt of timber, about which
fo\much had been Cod, he believed that it was
not very well underflood, and therefore he beg-
ged leave to call the attention of the Houfe to
the Report of the Commiifioners who had been
appointed to examine the fubjee. They (aid there
was not fufficient encouragement in ahis Country
for the rrowth of large Timber, that the Navy'
Board dud not offer enough for it, and that there
were no purchafers for large timber,escept the Ea ft
India Company. Now, if the objedt of this Mo-
tion was obtained, thole who grew Timber would
be in a worfe fituation than they were before. Con-
fiderable reliance had been placed upon the opinion
of the Marquis of Wellelley, and it certainly was
entitled to great weight. The Court of Direc-
tors ware inclined to pay every rdpee to the fen-
timents of that Nobleman, but Upon this point
they could not concur with him, becaufa they
thought it was one which affeded the very exist-
ence of the Company. It had been urged as an
argument in fupport of the Motion, that the Com-
pany had tuaained a las by their Exports, but this,
was rather to be urged as a merit on tbepart of the
Company, than as a charge againft them. Becaufe
it was always the object of the Court of Diredlors
to endeavour to promote the exportation of Britith
Manufactures, and if it was found that the Natives
of India would take them at prime can, the Com- .
party always fent them out. The Hon. Baronet
had Paid fomething about the two Companies that
exited in the reign of Qiieen Anne.—The (econd
of thole Companies was atablithed in confequence
of difputes fortieth ing fimilar to die prefent. The
Private Trade now might be compared to the IC-
cond of thofe Companies, with this difference, that
the Private Trader enjoyed all the benefit of all the
Ellablitliments of the Evil India Company, with-
out in any degree contributing to the Expence.—
It was found, however, that both thofe Compa-
nies could not exist at the fame time, and they
were at hall united into one. But he objected to
this Inquiry upon another ground,•viz. that of
time, becaufe it. was rendered nugatory by the
Peice, for the moment the Trade was open fur
Foreigners to trade with their own Ports, the Pri-
vate Trader could not come into competition with
them. He (hould conclude what he had to Rate
to the Hoare, that if cheap freight was the objet
which was fought for, why not give.thc EaR India
Company the right of liking Foreign (hips, becaufe
thc Navigation Ad certainly was not more (acted
than the Charter of the EaR India Company ?
Upon thefe grounds he oppoied the Motion.
Mr. METCALF very ably followed on the fame
fide. He rernatkad that there had been, during
the late War, no Ids a tonnage than sa,ooo tons,
all defined for foreign fettlements ; on fome
of which it was known that we at that very mo-
ment meditated a deCcent. The parties who made
this application were in his opinion never to be fa- :
t:sfied. They would in all appearance be dia-on-;
tented with any thing (port of the meafore of open- I
ing the trade altogether. It was furely fair in pri.!
! bey and in prudence to give to the Company the
full and exclative benefit of its charter. If this
were to be violated, and if from atif motive of
policy, however found it might appear, the Com-
; pany were to be deprived of their territorial right?,
then, in his opinion, the fun of India was let 1.-r
ever ! On the ateafore now before the Honfe, and

Mr. Mr-rcat. Fr, in explanation,adverted to what
had been laid of the indulgcncicc proper to be
granted to the private trader ; and expreffied his
opinion, that in the prefent circastuftances t!' the
country, it would be neither wife nor politic en-
tirely to exclude foreign traders, more cfpecially at
a period when fuch important arrangements were
about to be made with our late adverfaries ; the
attempt, he raid, would involve ns in difputes with
'every commercial power in America and in Eu-

tion of the bleffings of Peace.

the Hon. Baronet in the light which Gentlemen on.
polite fcemed to view ii, he fhould be very furry
to be- one of its fu porters. He denied that, If
granted, it would facrifice the foreign Trade of
India ; or, that it may be ufed as an engine for the
defirtieion of the Company's Charter. To him
the arguments of his Hon. Friend for going into a
Committee, appeared ft ong and irrefiftible : even
die flatly Eia advanced by an Hosi. Baronet who
argnCd agatntt the motion, was in his mind a -drong
additional inducement to the inquiry. He thought
the airairs of India, from the fituation of the Corm
pany, and the conilderatiiin of their debts, called
for an inquiry." The ftatementof the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, who, if he underitood him, had raid
that the Dircentshad given every practicable fa-
cility to the encouragement of the private Trade ;

not :in attack upon the Charter, hut only for an in-
quiry into a grievance, the exiftence of which was
acknowledged by Government, the Board of Corn
troul,the Direeors themfelves, and a great number
of Proprietors. The nhjee of the fupporters of the
Motion was fide and laudable, and its adoption
would tend to the falvation of the India Company,
the general profperity of the nation, and, above
All, to the extenfion of her trade.
