Mem.-The Advances in India and China, for the Provision of Commercial Investment, being made generally, as well without Distinction in respect to the ultimate Destination of such Investment as without Reference to the particular Source from which the Funds for its Provision are derived, the above Account is of Necessity in a great measure formed upon Computation.

A Portion of the Advances in India, for the China Investment, may be regarded as applicable to the Purchase of the Teas which have been supplied by the Company to the North American Colonies, since 1824-25; but as the Proceeds of these Consignments are intended for eventual Realization in England, they have been considered, in framing the above Account, as Falling under the Description of Investment for Europe.

On the other Hand, Advances applied, both in India and China, to the Provision, of Cargoes for the Cape, are excluded, the Proceeds of these Cargoes having been applied at the Cape, to the Supply of St. Helena, and Other Territorial Service.
