I and that. the reeult of the whole would contribute to
the true loterests of the Company, es well as those
of theconntry at large.
Mr. Linea
.JACKNON began by obrorting, that
the question no* • before the Proprietois, aot pnl7
*reeled them individually, but aJ; iutimately con-
, meted with the vital iuterests of the aemplis of Eltg- •
land; Am& -kte should be ashamed of hirnse3ft if he •
did got stead there, rather- es a WA Miceli feels
Pine for the true prosperity of :the country -at layges,
?-
limn as a mere proprietor of India -Stocks Indeed,
he should not have risen at all on the preSent neat•
sion, if he had not felt confident, that he should be
able to shew that the interests of the Proprietors
were really the same with those of the Empire at
large. The questions for the decision of tbat Pro-
prietors, on the present occasions were philaly.these
—whether, after the perusal of the papers now in
their possession, they conceived they were likely to
receive such a charter as would allow all persons what.;
ever to export goods to India in Ships of their owns
and from tiny port they pleased: and whether or not,
in the character of proprietors, it would be tight to
pray a renewal of the charter under, such, &turn-
stances as he had stated.. Ti!. commerce of the Cam=
pony was, then, the only subject that came under the
consideration of the:proprietors at present ; for as
to the Company's army. in India, ,he was hap•
py to observe, that the Cogent arguments of the Di.
rectors had induced. Government to lay aside the in-
tention of interfering with it, and that the Indian
army was -to remain on its present footing, subject
only to certain regulations of minor importance,
which would become a topic of future consideration.
There was also a branch of the Company's commerce,
' the trade with China, which did not come within
their consideration at present. The reasonings of the
Court of Directors had convinced Government, that
were this commetce laid open, it would hod to itt
being speedily closed ; and that an oviainainty to
increase the number of these who participetM.'in its
would-onto be. /Ike rotting up the•
for the sake of an; immediate advantage, while it*
ultimate destruction. would be rendered certain.--
The great question, therefore, before the Proprie.
Itort was, to what extent, .and under what regular,
Itione, the trade to India should be laid open to the
merchants at large. And here it w _add not be for.
gotten, that so long ago as 1793, the merchants were
let in to the participation of this commerce, by whit
was called the private trade with India, which was
Ito be carried on in the ships of the Company, and
subject to such wholesome regulations as those
under which their own trade had flourished. He,
for one, had uniformly maintained in that place,
that if the capital of the Company was not sufb-
cient to. embrace the whole of the trade with In-
dia, then the British merchant stood next in the
,
I order of selection, and that--he had an undonitt-
ed right to employ his capital in this surplus trade,
in preference to any American or neutral merchant
whatever. [Loud cries of hear, hear I—The
Americana had carried on their trade to India, in a
great mason', with British capital; and it was cer-
tainly to be wished, that not only British capital,
but British ships, seamen, and factors, should 'be
employed in it. About the year 1797, a treaty of
,commerce was entered into with America, and, at
the same time, two Bills were brough• boo Portia-
meta, which allowed an unlimited intercourse with
belie to all amicable nations. Such, at least, was
lute effect which Lord Kenyon gave to theie Acts,
when sitting in his judicial capacity ; for he declared
t the law to be, that American ships might take in
ladings in the port of London, carry them to
America, ultimately convey them to India, and sell
them to the Company's former customers. The
Proprietors were very naturally alarmed at this,
and addressed several strong remonstrances to Go.
vernment on the subject ; but the wish of Minis-
-1 ters to pacify and conciliate the American Go.
vernment, was, at that time, so strong, that Mr.
• I)undas brought in a Bill, which included and
sanctioned all the points of Lord Kenyon's decision.
; —Hence all foreign friendly nations whatever were
I allowed to carry on the trade to India in their own,
ships, and to cover it with their own flags. This
I was a measure so contrary to the Navigation Act,
that it was only attempted to be defended by some
politicians, on the ground that the provisions of the
Navigation Act did not extend to India; while
others maintained, that the advantages of this com-
' merce were so great to India,—it brought thither
so much bullion, and gave such ,life to its inter-
nal prosperity,—that to exclude it -would hate been
enact bf injustice to India. Whatever might be in
these arguments, he had put the questibn many years
ago, and he would put it now, ' healer it would not
have been much preferable to have given the British
merchant that portion of the trade which the Com-
pany's capital could not embrace? In that case we
should not hare the mortification to see the British
West ladies supplied with India goods from Ameri-
ca, nor the ladies of Kingston clothed in American
imports. It was a notorious fact, that the Ameri-
cans s. lied the Comprny's easterners in various
parts of Os world. He had predicted at the time,
that 00 .would be the. result of the measure; but it
tn..% supported by sortie of those who were able to
411,000 trade 4andsstiltely is American ships,
