  The Proper Limits of the Government's Interference with the Affairs of the East-India Company Attempted to be Assigned with some few Reflections Extorted by, and on, the Distracted State of the Times

summary:
  Their surplus in peaceable times is very large; and if tranquility is any way durable in India, and the administration of the Company's affairs is continued in the hands of that powerful genius of resource, Mr. Hastings, I make no doubt they will extricate themselves with honour, and do justice to every creditor they have. the delay of public business; for the Parliament would have been dissolved, and a new one elected, in little more than the period of usual recess at this time of the year; which recess was not intended to have been shortened, if the late overthrow of the ministry had not taken place.

  Free Trade with India An Enquiry into the True State of the Question at Issue Between His Majesty's Ministers, the Honorable the East India Company, and the Public at Large, on the Justice and Policy of a Free Trade to India

summary:
  L'Orient, the seat of French East India trade, fell, and no one rose in its place, neither towns nor individuals, and the trade with India became extinct in France. From all these examples it follows, that _monopoly_ is not bad _merely_ as _monopoly_, and that its being _injurious_ depends on particular circumstances, and therefore the India Company being a company of monopolists, would not be a sufficient reason for its abolition, even were it proved to be so, but this has not yet been done.

summary:
  And we presume, once for all, on this nice point, that there will not be urged the existence of one sort of regulation for a Commissary of _Provisions_, as Captain Macleod is sometimes called, and another for a Commissiary of _Grain_, as Major Hart is always called. Major-General Macaulay subjoins, to this I assented; but elsewhere explains, that with the exception of the conversation that took place with Captain Macleod, when he delivered the original message, I held no communication with Major Hart, but _by letter_.

  A Short View of the Laws Now Subsisting with Respect to the Powers of the East India Company To Borrow Money under their Seal, and to Incur Debts in the Course of their Trade, by the Purchase of Goods on Credit, and by Freighting Ships or other Mercantile Transactions

summary:
  But indeed upon the footing of the Directors argument that the Company can never divide if they have other debts besides their bonds and annuities, no dividend can ever take place, for the Company cannot carry on their trade in a proper manner without contracting such debts as the price of goods purchased on credit, and the freights of ships employed by them. If it had been therefore the intention of the Legislature to restrain the Company from purchasing goods on credit, or from incurring freights or other such debts, and that their whole debts of every kind should not exceed six millions, it is very plain to those who are versant in mercantile transactions, and who know the state of this company's trade, that they could not have carried on their affairs in such a manner as they have done, nor have rendered the trade of India so great an object as it is, to this commercial kingdom.

  A Caution to the Directors of the East-India Company With Regard to Their Making the Midsummer Dividend of Five Per Cent. Without Due Attention to a Late Act of Parliament, and a By-law of Their Own

summary:
  The legislature, in the act of parliament for the alteration of the stile, has said, that Midsummer-day shall fall on the 24th of June; because this alteration would have carried it otherwise to the 5th of July; the stocks however have not been affected by that act, the 5th of July, and the 5th of Jan. have been constantly the days of payment, for the Midsummer, and Christmas dividends, for most of the government as well as the East India stocks. IBID.--B. That it shall not be lawful, for any general court of the said company, at any time between the eighth day of May, 1767, and the beginning of the next session of parliament, to declare, or resolve upon, any encrease of dividend, beyond the rate of 10l.

summary:
  It may be well to call to the recollection of the East India Company, that they owe their present state to an assertion of those very rights to open trade which have now been brought forward; for, when the first, or London East India Company had experienced certain disappointments and failures, various adventurers came forward with claims similar to those which have been alleged by the merchants of the present day, and obtained an incorporation, to the prejudice of the old Company; and although the old, or London East India Company, afterwards effected an union with the new, or English East India Company, and with them gave origin to the present Company, yet the UNITED EAST INDIA COMPANY should not forget, how much the activity of the Indian trade was stimulated by the assertion of the rights of their predecessors, _to participate in the trade which had been granted exclusively to a former Company_. Such are the claims and the pretensions of the East India Company to a renewal of their Charter; and as such they have been promptly and cheerfully received, both by the Government and the country at large.
