DUBLIN, Mat 23.

it is wlth infinite satisladion we have learned that
nor liigitly respelled countryman, tha Right Hon.
.1 •hn Foster, about to bring forward a plan fOr
fte impr.rvement of this country, by giving to Ire-
I .n.l the complete possession of the British market
iu he important article of grain. Formerly Great
Britain esed to export large quantities of corn ant
nu illy ; but since the great encrease of her manu-
iadures, her agriculture has been diminished, and
sire has become a constant and great importer of
corn, which has amounted, on an average of the last
ten or twelve years, to upwards of '250,000 tonsan-
nually.
«r understand that Mr. Foster's plan is to
lay a duty on the import offereign cornintothe United
kingdi in, thereby to give to Ireland the soleand
extensive supply of the British market. This seal at
once settle the ere!' tripe between the two islands,
ant will more than countervail the drain occa*ntssl
by absentees, and the interest of public debt nenutted
to England;—but it will do More-r--it will effed
these ohjeds in the best possible ways, nanselyt thp
increase of agriculture. The proprietors of land.
well as the monied interest, may rejoice in a mama
which will nearly double the value of land, Mad
render every mercantile transadion between the tiq
islands highly advantageous to the merchants of
Ireland—and with such a spur to excite industry,
we may expedl to see inland navigation extend to
every corner of the island.
Lord HA iDwiccs—We have already mentioned
that His Excellency Earl Hardwicke has been in-
vited in the most flattering manner, to remain in
his Government, and we now have the heartfelt sa-
tisfa3ion positively to assure our readers that his Ly-
cellency, aluated by feelings correspondent to the
deserved attachment entertained for him by the
people of Ireland, has determined to remain among
them. 'this puts an end to all the idle rumours,
and conjeaured appointments on this subjoin, and
we are sure that there is not a virtuous or moderate
man in Ireland, and who feels interested for its
peace and prosperity, who will not rejoice at this
communication.—(Dr//in Eveving Post.) ,

late Joseph Cairncross, who, by a long process in
Chancery, sought to basterdise the Plaintiffs, and
take the benefit of the will. This was an issge di..
