The following Plan fur the fupport cf the Country is fubmitted to Government and the Public, through the medium of your excellent Paper. To convert, either Midi or without the confent of the proprietors, the whole of the National Debt into I a commercial and aftive capital, and thereby gradu• ally to releale the taxes and duties exacted born the labour of the people for its fupport. To obtain the field of commerce, and fcnpe for the employment of this Capital, the followiog pro politions are fubmitted : The Charter t•f the Ea India Company to he • repurchafed by Government for the public, and re• conveyed (the political right excepted) to a new Company, to be compofed of the Proprietors of the Funded Debt, including the Proprietors of India and South Sea Stock, but not the India Creditors; the whole to be incorporated under the title of the United National Company of Merchants. The new Company to rely folely upon the magni• tude of its capital, and not upon an exclufive privi ledge for its fupport againa all &mak as well as foreign competitors fur the market. In fine, to make it the interea of the individual, merchant, or private adventurer, rather to trade through the medium of the Company as a Proprietor of Stock than upon his own rifk. This, and this only can keep alive the true commercial fpirit and enterprize in a large Company, and preferve to the Britith nation what the enterprize of foreigners threatens to deprive her of, viz. the proF.ts of her India commerce in the European market. As an additional fecutity and foundation for the Capital, it is further propofed that the public right, or right of the Crown, be telinquithed in and over all that part of the Continent of America, fituated upon the weflern fide, and fronting the Pacific Ocean, from the confines of Canada ; the laid rights and pro. perty in the land to be conveyed to the new Com pany, as well the property or prefumptive right to all the iflands in the South Sea, which belong, or may belong, in fovereignty to the Crown of Great Britain. In order to Ramp with the greaten poflible value thefe lands and territories, and with the leaß delay, and thereby to create commerce, the fyflem of colo nization to be carried to a fuitable extent, not by founding future empires with convias (an unworthy and difgraceful proceeding), but by young and pro per fettlers from the belt part of the parent flock, a fufficient number of whom would annually volunteer thernfelves as fettlers, and might gradually be ac cepted without any lots to the parent Rock. The projed only to be undertaken, upon the principle that each colony (hould obtain a ceffion of its inde pendence, as loon as it could maintain it, either alone or in confederacy with fimilar eßablifhments.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF THE SHERIFF Oi MIDDLESEX, DEC. ta. CRIM. CON. EARL OF ELGIN V. FEn.GI:SSON. Mr. GAR ROW, in addreffing the Jury in this cafe, defer ibe4 it as one of the molt melancholy of the kind which had ever come beorre a Jur y. The plaito hi was the heir and reprefentative of an ancient and honourable family. equally dillinguithed for its tritons as for its other qualities. In Maids, t 790, he married a lady, then at years of age, there being no disparity between them. 1 lie marriage met with the entire approbation of the lady's friends, and every thing promifed the utruoll domettic felicity. ;:o much was the plaintiff inclined, by every means in his power, to promote this defi , ahle objet!, and to much was be triached to domeltic felicity, that he offered to abandon a diplomatic fituation of high troll and confidence, and to remain at home, for its more complete and uninterrupted attainment. This was refilled on the part r f his lady and her friends. The plaintiff and his lady accordingly went to Con llantinople, where they (pent three years, during which time they were an example to all around them, not only of domeflic felicity, but of every thing that was amiable and praife worthy, and ferved, in twa, as patterns of what an Engliih family might be fuppofed to be in the belt of times. While other women of tantion indulged in card parties and mutic parties on a Survlay, the plaintiff and his lady had divine fervice performed by their Chaplain ; and, z•s children of the marriage were produced, they found All that they ,fought for of happinefs. After a refidence of three years at Conftantinople, having then two children, they fent them home by Italy, and the:nfelves went to France, where, in breach of all the rights of hofpitality, not only every private indi• victual, but even this Reprdentative r f his Majelly, was placed in a Rate of imprifonmenr. The defen dant, Mr. Fergult in, was one of the fubjeds of this country who were deprived of their liberty in this manner, and, like every other gentleman of any rank or reipeetability in this unfortunate fituation, was well received by the Earl of Elgin, who treated him with thelmore attention from the circumliance of his being a fon of a near neighbour and f r i e nd. Th e plaintiff being obliged to rennve to Bareges on ac count of bad health, his lady remained behind bins at Paris, where ate conduded her felt in the molt me ritorious to procure her hufband's liboty, to which effea The procured the promife of Talleyrand that he should be exchanged for General Bo.v)er. In March, 1804, another child was bornito the plaintiff and his wife, to which the was herfelf the nurfe, and their happinels Teemed even to have experienced an increafe. The Defendant, about this time, obtained his paliport to return into his own country, and the plaintiff, teeing little profpeet of being fpeedily liberated, while Ir, had important bufinefs to arrange at home, both of a public and private nature, enti ufled the defendant as confidential agent, to manage it for him ; begging of him even to become the guardian of his children. Some time after this, Lady Elgin being again preg nant, and in an ill Hate of health, it became an im perious duty in the plaintiff, to endeavour to procure a pall - port for her, which was at length effected, and the returned to this country. Initead of going to the bogie of her refpeded father, (he retired to a houfe in Baker-flreet, where it appeared the had been vifited by the defendant, who eafily procured accefs to her as the confidential friend of her hulband, and as one who teemed to interest himfelf much in his affairs. Judgment had teen fuffered by the de. fendant to Rte by default. It was, therefore, the with of the Learned Counfel to reprefs, not to in dulge, in animadverlions on the dininguifhing features o f the cafe. He was far from wifhing to wound the feelings of, the lady, who had fo unfortunately twerved from her duty ; hill more averfe was he from the molt diflant idea of adding to the afflidions of her worthy parents ; and fo far as the defendant' himfelf was concerned, he did not with even to ag gravate his punifhment and feelings. Juflice tcrthe plaintiff, however, compelled him to Rate his cafe. —The Defendant, as the intimate friend of the Plain• tiff, had gained eafy accefs to the pretence ()Ibis wife. Under pretenerof having beer fometimes with Mr Fox, fometimes with Lord Grenville, with Sir Jofeph Bankes, or other eminent and literary men, who were fuppofed to have influence with the Firit Conful of France, with, all of whom he was con certing meafures for the liberation of her bufband, the Defendant was received by the Plaintiff's wife in a manner different from the reception which was to have been expected by any other perfon ; and hr. had availed himfelf of this favoured fir nation to gain poll feffionuf her affections and of her pet fon. To prove the • great affection in which the Plaintiff was held by his wife, previuufly to her quitting France, and alto on her arrival in England, the Learned Counfel proceed ed to read a great many letters from her to the Plain tiff, expreffive of her determination to bear any hardfhips with fortitude if he was to partake of them, and affuring him that her chief anxiety confined in his fafety. For the change in her fentiments, though the Plaintiff was then ignorant of the extent of the injury he had (Whined, or the perfun by whom it had been occafioned, the Learned Counfel referred to a letter from the Countefs of Elgin to her hut. band, fhnrtly after the had taken ,tip her refidence in Bakerffreet, in which the expreffes herfelf in a Rile very different from that the had been accullom ed to ufe. The Plaintiff having procured his libe ration, and arrived in this country, after bellowing a fortnight in fettling his public and private concerns in London, went to Scotland, where his lady was then refiding. Shortly after his arrival, a letter was put into his hand, put up and fealed in a vulgar manner, with the addrefs, apparently in the hand writing of an illiterate woman—" Mi Lady llgh t .' o — breaking open the envelope, the feat of the inclo lure alto gave way, and on looking into the letter, the Plaintiff found it to come from the Defendant, and to be conceived in fuch impaffioned term., as clearly to demonfirate if a criminal intercourfe had not already taken place, that lit lealt great advances had been made towards it. The terms of the letter were (itch, the Learned Counfel conceived, as clearly to fhew, with all the paffion that burll through, that the Defendant was well aware of the charaeter of the• perfon with whom he had to ad, was one into wh om the bell principles had been inflilled, and with whom I his fiat objea mutt be to undermine the ban ier which
