EYTON, Stock Broker, 2, Cornhill. THE ASIATIC JOURNAL FOR SEPTEMBER, 1825. Original Communications, &c. &c. &c. THE FINANCES OF OUR EASTERN EMPIRE. So much notice has been attracted to the state of the East-India Company's territorial revenue, by the bold misrepresentations obtruded upon the world by malcontents at home, and ill-informed writers abroad, that we deem it expedient to place before our readers, more prominently than heretofore, the substance of the last official statements on this subject submitted to Parliament by the Company, together with such observations as may serve to elucidate them, and demonstrate more fully the fallacious character of the representations alluded to. An amusing example of the precipitate eagerness with which the Company's assailants are actuated, is furnished in a contemporary publication; wherein it is observed, with reference to the Home Accounts (published in our Journal, p. 46), that they seem to be drawn up with the view of keeping the nation in entire ignorance of the real state of the Company's pecuniary affairs; since there is no statement of the produce of the territorial revenue of India, the public charges attending the government of their territories, or those of the Burmese war. Now the writer ought to have known that such particulars as these are annually furnished, and are exhibited in a distinct account; and he might and surely ought to have known that this very account was presented to Parliament a fortnight before the other, and was issued last month, previous (it is more than probable) to the period when the writer was penning those sapient remarks, imputing to the East-India Company a design, of which he, as far as his limited ability extends, is guilty; namely, that of "keeping the nation in entire ignorance of the real state of its (the Company's) pecuniary affairs." The following is a condensed statement of this official account: Asiatic Journ, Vol. XX. No. 117. 2 L ABSTRACT |
