OUTLINE or its GOVERNMENT, LAWS, AND POLICY: AND OF THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN EMBASSIES TO, AND INTERCOURSE WITH, THAT EMPIRE. BY- PETER AUBER, Secretary to the Honourable the Court of Directors of the East- India Company. LONDON: PARBURY, ALLEN, AND CO. LEADENHALL STREET. 1834. ClSo.S LONDON: Printed by J L. Cox and Son, 75, Great Queeu Street, Lintoln's-Inn Fields. '■I ? \ Circumstances having directed my attention in the year 1 830 to the political branch of the East- India Company's relations with China, various Memoranda were made upon points which it was thought might be useful in the future conduct of the Company's affairs. Events have since taken place which were not then contemplated, and the Company is no longer to bear a commer cial character. As the period approaches when the trade with China is to be thrown open, inquiry is made for some definite information regarding the principles upon which the Com pany's intercourse has been hitherto maintained at Canton, and countenance given to the British trade by the local authorities at that port. The present work has, therefore, amidst little leisure, been thrown together in the form of a connected VL outline, shewing also very briefly the nature of the government with which the Company's agents have had to deal, and the attempts which have been made by foreign nations to establish, upon the basis of a formal treaty, a regular intercourse with that singular people.

In this Preliminary Chapter subjects have been introduced which may be thought somewhat irre levant to the immediate object of the work, which professes to give the outlines of our intercourse with China. They, however, involve questions so interwoven with each other, and are so connected with the leading and controlling interests of this country, the state of which interests have gradually pre pared the way for the great changes relating to our Eastern trade, that a short reference to them may not be altogether misplaced, when new and extended fields of commerce are about to be laid B open to the enterprize and skill of the British merchant and manufacturer. History teaches us, that commerce has been, and will continue to be, in perpetual fluctuation, and that careful watchfulness is required on the part of a Government to preserve, as well as to extend, the commercial advantages which may have been acquired through the enterprize and energy of its people. It will be found that there is no country to which this remark will more ap propriately apply, or where it has been acted upon to a greater extent, than our own. Before England possessed foreign colonies and factories, her general trade was comparatively tri fling. She derived, in common with other nations, the products of India and China from the ports in the Levant. The discovery of the East-Indies and Brazil by the Portuguese, and of the West-Indies, Mexico, Peru, and America by the Spaniards, all nearly at the close of the fifteenth, or at the commencement of the sixteenth century, conduced to the extension of European commerce ; and the unsuccessful at tempts of England, as well as of the Dutch and the Danes,* to discover north-west and north-east passages to China, opened new and considerable sources of traffic, and led to the general increase of navigation. * In 1553, 1594, and 1595. ' The persecutions in Germany, in France, and in England, under Charles the Fifth, Henry the Se cond, and Queen Mary, produced results diame trically opposite to what were anticipated by those sovereigns, and gave rise to the Seven United Pro vinces, which rapidly formed one of the greatest commercial and maritime republics that had ex isted ; numbers of their subjects being compelled to seek that shelter and protection under the Prince of Orange which they were denied in their own country. Holland thus acquired the skill, and in many instances capital, of artizans and manu facturers of eminence. The toleration extended to all sorts of quiet and peaceable people, and the free constitution of their Government, tended to create wealth and confidence in a country in itself naturally strong in point of defence ; and the in stitution of the celebrated Bank at Amsterdam presented another inducement to commercial par ties Until to settle the inaccession the new of republic. Queen Elizabeth, Eng land had been comparatively little interested in the general affairs of Europe. That princess had encouraged the establishment of the Republic in order to form a barrier against the House of Austria, and her subjects perceiving the advantages which Portugal and Holland derived from the trade with Asia by the Cape of Good Hope, be came naturally anxious to participate in so lucra tive a traffic. " Neither individual means nor b 2 "■ enterprize were adequate to the trade of the " Indies; it was so remote, it could not be traded " in but on a joint stock." The East-India Company were accordingly in corporated, " for the honour of the nation, the " wealth of the people, the encouragement of en- " terprize, the increase of navigation, and the " advancement of lawful traffic." We may frequently trace the most important results, both as regards nations and individuals, to causes which at the moment were little contem plated by their authors. The unbridled licentiousness of a sovereign led to the establishment of the Protestant faith in this country ;. the effects of a religious persecution, for the purpose of upholding and extending the power of the Papacy, gave birth to a state which has been among its strongest opponents ; and the ne cessities of the Crown, occasioned by evil councils and * Previous a profligate to the expenditure,* year 1640, the introduced merchants of the London sys- lodged their money in the Mint at the Tower as a place of se curity. The king's inability to meet the Scottish army which was then approaching the borders of England, constrained him to call the Parliament together, which had not been summoned for twelve years, for the purpose of obtaining supplies.

The author soon found, however, that the edition was insuffi- cient to meet the demand, and he was obliged, with regret, to inform many who desired to possess the book that the issue was exhausted. In the present edition the original form in which the work appeared has been retained, but fresh material has been included, and many corrections have been made which, it is hoped, will render the book more useful. vu CONTENTS PAQI Introduction ....... 1 The Island or St. Helena and its Administration . 7 Military ....... 8 Naval ....... 9 Civil ....... 10 The Population of St. Helena in 1820 . .15 The Expenses of Administration in St. Helena in 1817 15 The Residents at Longwood . .16 Topography— Principal Residences . .19 The Regiments in St. Helena . .22 The 53rd Foot Regiment (2nd Battalion) . 22 The 66th Foot Regiment (2nd Battalion) . 26 The 66th Foot Regiment (1st Battalion) . 29 The 20th Foot Regiment .

  • 29 Newgate and Westminster 1820
    678 December 14th 1819-December 31st 1820: Newgate, Cato Street, and the Trial of Queen Caroline 1820: Newgate Diary, the 1820 Westminster Election, Byron’s ballad My Boy Hobby, O, the execution of the Cato Street Conspirators, and the Trial of Queen Caroline December 14th 1819-December 31st 1820 Edited from B.L.Add.Mss. 56540 and 56541. In the notes, “I.G.” indicates assistance from Ian Gilmour, to whom I’m grateful. In 1819 Hobhouse contested the parliamentary seat of Westminster, which had become vacant on the suicide of Romilly. He stood as a radical, supported by his father and by Burdett, but was defeated on March 3rd by George Lamb. Riots followed, and a breach opened between him and the Holland House Whigs. Westminster was an unusual constituency. It extended from Temple Bar to Hyde Park, from Oxford Street to the Thames, and three-quarters of its voters were middle-class: shopkeepers, skilled artisans, printers, tailors, and so on. It was the only constituency in the country in which each of its 17,000 rate-paying householders had the vote, which fact made it a headache to any administration, Whig or Tory, which was based upon, and served, as all administrations were and did, the landed gentry. At Westminster, candidates had to stand on the hustings and speak deferentially to people whom they’d normally expect to speak deferentially to them . At this time Hobhouse wrote several pamphlets, and an anonymous reply to a sarcastic speech of Canning’s, written by him and some of his friends in the Rota Club, attracted attention.

There were several British interests in the area, and an assorted number of Britons established in Spanish America since the beginning of the struggle for Independence. Amongst them, merchants was perhaps the most important and influential group, pressing on their government for protection to their trade. As soon as independence reached the western coast of America, a new space was created for British presence. First Valparaiso and afterwards Callao, British merchants were soon firmly established in that part of South America. As had happened in the Atlantic coast, their claims for protection were attended by the British government through the Pacific Squadron, under the flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the South American Station, until 1837, when it was raised to a separate Station.

This project advocates for American appreciation of the foreign cinema of Bollywood (Mumbai, India) based on the understanding of the universal human experience of love. iv Table of Contents Introduction . 1 Part One: The Bridge of Love. 6 Chapter One: Fated Love . 7 What is love and how does it happen? . 7 Types of Love . 11 Interpreting Love . 16 Fated Love . 24 Part Two: The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo & Juliet . 28 Chapter Two: The Bard . 29 Who was Shakespeare? . .29 Shakespeare and Love . .35 Universality . .37 Chapter Three: The Star-Cross’d Lovers .
