immediate or remote effects. While the one party
insists that the further continuance of the exclusive
trade to the chartered Company is necessary to sustain
the finances of Great tritain, and even to preserve its
Constitution from ruin ; theother as positively insists,
that the opening the trade will be the extension of it to
a great degree, and, consequently, an improvement to
the revenue, and a further support to the State itself.
This is, indeed, a momentous reuse, which ought
not to be decided by ex-party erideuce and ex-parte
reasoning. It will be brought, then, as ought to
be, before Parliament; and whatever occasion we
may have had, aforetime to express oar dissatisfac-
tion at the nature of the arguments Used in that
Assembly, with a view to; bias the minds of its Mem.
bers, ne do look up, to its decisions, in this instance,
with composure and complacency. The interests and
the wishes of the India Company will be backed by all
the wealth and influence of the East; but the Re.
presentatives of the People of the United Kingdom

inconveniences of the present moment by the
change (for all changes are attended with more or
less inconvenience), and will reflect on the perma-
nent advantages which may arise from giving such
an occasion, to the most mercantile people in the
world, to try„ how far they can possibly extend
the be'nefith of trade. This 'will be, done too at
a moment the most favourable for making the essay
of what enterprise, united with capital, may do;
since there are sa few ships of mar Able to leave the
enemy'S posts with the.view of molesting us. The
Americans have no ships large enough to cope with
the littk., united fleets of East bndia traders, and
from any other quarter there cannot be the smallest
reason, for some time at least, to look fur annoy-
ance. The House of Commons (for in that Ilouse
the question must be decided) will, we hope, direct
their views above any local or partial interest,'

Mr. Lrtet.vra moved, that the motion, of which he
had given notice on the foregoing Saturday, for the.
appointment of a delegation to accompany the F.art of
FINGALE, tO 14011d0O, with the Cithnlic Petitions and
Address, should he postponed uottl the following Sc.

into consideration.—After some desaltory conversa-
tion, the motion passed in the affirmative.
The only difference of opinion which exists in the
Catholic Board is, whether the Petition should be
confided solely to the Earl of Fatoatp r whether
a Deputation, consisting of seven, or fourteen Gen-
tlemen, should not be appointed to actompany his
Lordship.?

leleren o'clock, in the tallow chandlery -warehouse.,belonging to Mr. Christian, corner of Bread-street
and Basing-lane, Cheapside, which herns the lower
part of the premises before it was extinguished.--An
alarm of fire was given yesterday morning at three
o'clock by the watchman going his rounds, in 1101.:
born, who observed the flames issuing from the
Punch Bowl publie-house. Several' engines were
soon on the spot, and the fire was, after doing con-.
siderahle:damage, got out.—At five o'clock this
morning, another :most .alarming fire broke out at
Mr. Watkinson's, a baker, in the Borough, which
, threatened destruction to the whole neighbourhood,
lets its ravages extended with such rapidity, so as to
wholly destroy the extettqZN premises where it broke
; out, together with a considerable quantity of flours
as well as the two adjoining houses, befete any en-
gine could arrive to stop the progress of the flames.
Fortunately no lives were lost, though several per.
sons narrowly escaped, leaving the whole of the
property, sto part of which was ensured.
