INDIGO.

111. We have limited this remission to the ^""engaU 

 indigo manufactured with funds supplied by the 25 June 1793. 

 Company, conceiving that a preference is due to 



this mode of provision, on account of the assistance 

 it affords us in the way of remittance ; but as we 

 are, at the same time, desirous of affording en- 

 couragement to individuals to extend their con- 

 signments of this article upon our ships, our Board 

 of Trade, in the event of their granting the above 

 indulgence, v^ill also make known, that on all 

 indigo of the above description shipped in the 

 privileges of the commanders and officers, instead 

 of the seven per cent, which by the standing en- 

 gagements between the Company and their com- 

 manders and other officers, is payable on goods in 

 their privileges, the Company will charge only 

 five per cent. 



112. The observations of our Board of Trade 

 on the advantages that would be likely to result 

 from the manufacture being undertaken by the 

 natives instead of Europeans, are much to the 

 purpose, and we should be highly gratified on 

 seeing it take effect. We think the measure 

 they have suggested, of embarking in a small 

 concern upon the Company's account, may be 

 found useful, in contributing towards so desirable 

 an end, and accordingly approve of its being car- 

 ried into effect.

 approve of your not having complied with the
