iAST INDIA SHIPPINQ.

i.ntd CASTLEMCII role to bring forward his
intended motion, relative to Ealt India Shipping.
He raid the number of Ships stow in the Company's
feivlee exceeded one hundred; of which the whole
of the tonnage was upwards of 90,00 p tons, and
the learnin employed on beard there (hips...mount-
ed to about 7000. The expence attending the
(hipping intereit of the Company amounted in
time of peace to one million annually, And in time
of war to one million and a half. There was
hardly any point on which fo great a difference of
opinion had prevailed for a long time, as the rub•
WI of the tall India Company's th!pping. Pre-
cious to the year t 796, the cuflorn was for the
owner of any (hip for which the Company had
contra fed, to have a perpetuity in the bottoM of
Inch (hip. This war produetiie of great inconve.
hieilce and expence: but in the year 1796; the nets
(hipping fyfiem was eilablifhed upon* ptinciple of
ufeful competition, which was the Weil on *hich
any public body could refl. The mode in which
the Company now engaged its fliippihg was this :
they contraned with tlic I!tip.owner to build a Ship
which Should perforM fix voyages India, and
then there wa.: an end of the contra 6. This mode
WAS attended with mine degree of public inconve-
nience : tilde flx voyages were not fufEcient to
wear nut a (hip, and the (hip, after having per.
formed them, was thrown out of the fervicei which
WAS the only commercial fervice to which it was
applicable t and therefore the was eithet. (Ad to
foreigners trading to India, or broken up as un
ferviceable, although all her timhere might be
perfealy found at 4.he time Another defeet which
re/sailed In this lyftem was the probable lois the
owner was liable to fullitin hclote the expiration
Of his contra& It generally took 14 or 15 years
for a Ihip to make ft• voyages to India. in the
entitle of that time a great rife might take place
in the rr:cc of every thing, fo as tri render that a
bad bargain before the end of rc years, which
might have been a beneficial one in the beginning.

Ht would hereafter take alt oPporttinity of bring.
ing forward a propofition which Mould have the*
effect of remothrg this inconvenience. The great
objea at indent was, to lave as riiuc i as
that timber' tired in building l'udia Mips. 'f 11i
could be done in force dtgree, if the Company
was to keep the (hips in its ler viee for a longer pe-
riod thr.' that itrwhielr fez Voyages were perfor!---
ed. A propofition to that effea had lately cnine
from the Board.of Admiralty to the Court cf
ream; of the EaR India Company ; as well as a
recomineridatiint not to rake up for the prefeni
any more !hips of the largeft fize. Tht Company
had now in its fervice 10 Mips, whofe fcantlings
wets as large as thole of Wile of battle env: lc
more Ships of this tze were to lie built for the
Company's ufe, co' much valuable tiMber,.that
might be applicable to the building of meta of war
would be taken away. The Company, always
ready to make its interefts bend to, chafe of the
public, readily aflenteer to the Ptopbfiti9n.froin the
I Admiralty. An& One of the objedi of the Bill he
Meant to mote for,- would- be, .to continue Sips
that had performed fix voyages in the Company's
fervitei if they Should bt found fit fot feri7ce, anif
if they could be contraded for at a reafonablc
pri'ce. Another, point related to (hips that rtaglVe
be loft at fee.. It had been pieviifed iii i former
aft. that if, after the fifth voyage a fhip thonid hi
loft, and the Conn of Dtrefroth were fatisfied that
filch lore was not otcafibned by 4n7 mircothfua on

propofe that in fuck a cafe the owneri Were to en-
joy the fame advantage as, in the cafe already
providectfor. There were the only two points he
' meant to bring forward at prefent ; bur btfme the.

HIS MADITT'S bletiage, delivered to birth
I inure': of Parliament yefterday afternoon, puts an
end to die uncertainty which marry *ere under rd-
fpeaineg the iffue of the negotiation which was
carrying nn batsmen this country and France. As
t ow felves. we have bridi tut otie opinion fine tiro
difctillion began, namely, silo a wai emend be the
cohfequence ; not did we befitite to nits Otis cod*.

viction, even when every other journal in London
was maintaining the contrary. It required but
little fagacity, however, to enable any one to ap-
preciate the value of the probabilities for and againfl
a continuance of peace:—.ell that was neceffary
was only to keep in view the fpirit and tendency
of every aftion of the French Government fince the
Treaty of Amiens. and at the fame time to confider
human nature. We wifhed we might be difappointed
in our fears, but we could fee no reafon to hope
that we Ihould, and, therefore, we frankly lived
and maintained our opinion, that the refilefs con
dua and infulting demeanour of the CHIEVCONSUL,
would rekindle the flames of war. The event has
jultified all that we advanced, and has proved to
many that, had they attended to the admonitions
we gave from time to time to thofe whole property
was mat likely to be affeEled by the Are, they
might have raved large fums which have been loft
--by 'following the opinions of thole who, in lonic
inflaticess had an interell in mifleading then.
At the Privy Council which fat at the QIIESN'S
Boufe yenir'clay, and at which his Majasry pre-!
tided, the Meffage to Parliament was fettled,
lad orders iffued to the Lords of the Admiralty
to grant Letters of Marque and Reprifal againft
all velrels belonging to the French and Batavian
Republics; and to lay a general embargo on all
Air bound to any of theii.ports.
There-never was known fo full a meeting of the
Privy Council as affembled yefterday. Nearly
Forty Privy Councillcirs attended on this occafion.
In the Houfe of Commons, the attendance of I
the Members was the fulleft that has been known
(lace the memorable period of the Regency.—
When the King's Meffitge was reacl,there were littl e
Ibort of Soo Member: prefent. The debate's upon
'this communication will be of the molt interelling
laefctiption, and the refult, we truft, will jdtif y the
prtfebt proceedings of Miniflers, in not fu6i-ing
themfelves to be lulled into a falfe fecurity by the
delulions attempted to be praltifed upon them
by the Coos'''. of FRANC!. In the hoftile
kostrfe which he has adopted, Bonstarrs, we
WA, has eonfulted more his pride than his in.
etinadon. and in yielding to the former, he has
not attended to his belt and obvious interet.—
His before the Peace was Co (tenderly
propt, that, without the timely relluration of that
biding to the country, it would have been diffi-
knit Much longer to have fupportcd it ; and the
people leaned in a manner to accept it as the
price of their fubmiflion to his defpotic will. He
cannot, therefore, have aged wifely in deftroying
fo fhon that fabric which it was fo much their hap.
pings to witnefs and enjoy. In depriving them
of Peace. he has performed the firft alt of a drtad
fill tragedy. the elersoutmere of Which, We hope,
May prove the overthrow of his own power.—
He Cannot now revenge hitahlf upon our allies,
for allies we have none! He cannot now maintaih
his artblei on refobrtet drawn from his enemies'
territories, bdt malt, like obrfelves, find real and
proper fbnds tb Maintain the expence of the war.
Should he attempt to make Germany forpint re-
routtes, he mu ft firft make the Eta 'sane his enemy,
and, probably, alto the BIND of Paussta and the
EAPteittt of Russia—and, indeed, we Ibould not
be furprifed to fee. nay, we eve& to fee, all the
powers of Europe introltred in the conflidt before
it be terminated.
Should the Com Consul., on the other hand,
have recourfe to Means fimilar to thofe reforted
to during the revolution, his popularity dies on
the firft attempt, and his deitruftion mug follow
foots after. How many now Peek his fall in France ?
The Royalilts can never gain the reins. but they
are not without means to harafs a tyrant. The
Jacobins are his inveterate enemies—though mill.
ed they are nut extinft. and we have ken enough
during the events of the late war, to aflbre us of
the poffibility of contingencies giving them again
a (bare of influence and power, which will be ez-
erted to dellroy the man whom they call, the de-
&foyer of French liberty, The people in general.
feeling the evils of a renewed war, for which the
French Government has no means but Inch asmufk
be drawn froth the little remaining capital there is
in the country, the furplus indoltry being altoge-
ther inadequate to the lam that will be required,
muff deteß the man who brings the calamity upon
them by his fpirit of ambition, and the encroach•
menu be has made on the rights, the independence,
and the territories of his neighbours.
But whatever may be the reiblt to BOISAPAILTI,
and of that we have no doubt, we mutt not ex.
pelt that die war will not be injurious to this
country. War is the moll dreadful calamity that
can befal any nation, and llsould never be reforted
to but when its independence and exillence are
threatened—Nor can it be reforted to without even
endangering there I How lid the alternative ! But
every nation owes certain duties to itfelf and toother
nations, and with them it is the fame as with an
individual when threatened with an affault, or ab-
foluedy attacked—He may not be able to repel the
aggreffor, but he is bound to ufe every phyfical
mean within his power tp do fo, otherwife he be-
comes acceffary to his own deßruaion.
We have no doubt that Miniders will be as ready

to feize on the firß favourable moment to meta-
blifh Peace as they have been firm in refilling a
fyllem of encroachment, which threatened us with
ruin. It will probably, however, not he the fame
