P&T always penetration enough to objtft
lo the fluke’s visits to this country.
Such is the miraculous reform which Mr.
fitt has accomplished in favour of the East-
Indja Company, ttfat wfcile every foreign
Asiatic Company,, js either ruining or Turned,
that of Great-Britain is advancing in wealth
* every day and hour.—According to the pro.
grefs they are making at this time, there is
the Strongest preemption, that, by the year
1792, thf#Gompavy will not havefa Shilling
.. of foreign debt, and but few bonds in .circu
lation at home; for, independent of their
revenue derivable from the provinces of Ben-
Bahar, and OriSfa, the profits of their
trade may be estimated at nearly a million
sterling.—-The Board- of Controul may have
limited the power of the directors ; but if it
lias, the proprietors of India Stock are oblig
ed to it, for making the Company’s capital
better worth 200 per cent, than it was 220
befpJC that Board was established.
BOSTON, February 9.
The citizens pf Bolton, have ever Shewn
jtbemfclves advocates for freedom; therefore,
when a motion had obtained, one of the great,
est objects of which is “ to secure the bletiings
of liberty to themfelvefe and their posterity," ’
they could not refill the Strong impulse they
tnuft have had, publicly to testify their gra
titude for the pleasing event. Nor have they.
On the decision being declared, the bells in
the several public buildings communicated
the happy intelligence to every part of the
town, by a peal, which continued with Short
intervals.—The difeharge of cannon, and
other demonstrations of joy, took place on
Wednesday and Thurday, but it was left to
yesterday to produce an exhibition, to which
America has never before witnessed an equal,
and which has exceeded any thing of the kind
Europe"pan boast of.
The committee of tradesmen met on Thurs
day, and, by public advertisements, request
