Spring Meeting, this year, on the resolution of M. Oils-

Company, combined with a connection between the
Shareholders and the interests of the Company.
2J. To secure to the King that influence in the affairs
of the Company, which his Majesty ought to hart. in
its essential concerns as founder, as chief shareholder,
and as guarantee of the interest (4i per cent).
3d. To simplify the management of the Company in
general, and in particular to give the Board of Di-
rectors, in their daily transactions, more liberty in the
choice and direction of the operations.
'A printed memorial, explaining the three proposals,
was distributed among the Shareholders; and further
details wem given verbally by the President of the
Company and the King's Commissioners, with a decla-
ration that his Majesty desired that an account of the
intimate connection between the three proposals, they
should sot be voted upon separately but altogether.
With respect to the first Article, it was proposed to'
reduce the capital from 37 millions to 24 millions of
florins, which last some was at the commencement pro-
posed as the maximum, and had been in far exceeded
in consequence of the great eagerness of the merchants
to become shareholders. After two days' deliberation,
the proposal: were adopted by a majority of 119 to
40 votes.
