The ancient and chearful town of TEn-

MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. 
ROM the collection of papers printed by the Eaft India Company refpeting the illic trade, 
it appears, that early in the year 1798, information was obtained by the governor of St. 
Helena, that énterprizes of a very confiderable magnitude, had been fet on foot, for the purpofe 
ef conveying to Europe the progerty of the poffeMfions in India of powers at war with this coun- 
try, through the medium of neutral flags, it having become evident that this property which had 
been collected to a very confiderable amount *, in the Dutch, French, and Spanith iflands, could 
not be brought in fafety te Europe through any other channel, while the navy of Great Britain 
maintained its fuperiority. There alfo appeared reaion to believe, that fome of the enemy’s ports 
im India, had been fupplied through the fame channel, with ftores from Europe 3 and that the 
trade, though mafked under the appearance of foreign fiags and foreign companies, had in fatt 
been fet on foot, and chiefly refted upon Britifh agency and capital. The plan concerted for the 
management of the returns, is faid to have been, that the veflels employed fhould be difpatched, 
nominally for Copenhagen, or forse other neutral place ; but chat in their way thither, they fheuld 
put Into the ports of Great Britain, where if the markets were more favourable than at the places 
of their nominal deftination, their cargoes fhould be brought to fale under an aét paffed in May, 
2796, and fince continued ; or if otherwife, the veffels to proceed on to the places of theit 
eriginal defiination. In é¢onfequence of thefe difcoveries, governor Brooke, detained the fhips 
Denmark, Nancy, Reiniborg, and Odin, which had put into the port of St. Helena, and fent 
them:to England, ihat they might be proceeded againft with a view to their condemnation in cafe 
tt fhould appear that the thips or their cargoes belonged to his majefty’s enemies ; the Magdalena 
was afterwards flopred, alf> the Iphigenia, and Kenfington, under American colours, and the 
Compie de Bernidors, in its way trom Lisbon to Batavia. In November laft, Mr. Dundas tranf- 
mitted the papers relative to this fubje&t, which he had received from the governor of St. Helena, 
te the Attorney and Solicitor General 5 and the fubftance of the opinion of theie officers, which 
was communicated to the Direétois of the India Company, was, that there appeared to be ground 
jor proceeding againit the fhips and their cargoes, for condemnation as lawful prize, but from 
want ef the requifite information, they found confiderable difficulty in forming an opinion as to 
the #eps which could be leea'ly purfued againft the Britith fubjeéts concerned in the tranfactions, 
and upon what they could colle from the papers tranfmitted to them, they did not conceive 
themfelves warranted in faying that they could find precife ground for any legal proceeding 
againit thofe perfons, although the pajers tended to raife very {trong fufpicion, that charges of a 
very ferious nature, might poffibly be made out in evidence againit them, if due diligence was 
ufed in purfuing the inquiries to which the difcovertes made by the papers appeared to lead. ‘The 
fubje& being of much importance to the company ; a committee was appointed to take it into 
immediate conideration, and totollet fuch information from the papers of the detained fhips,
