important Public and'private advantages ; that it is calculated

that part of the Country through which it-will pass ; and thg
it is nitich more eligible than any Plan
.that yet has bead
made public, as being less circuitous, leS expensive, and
passing through a much more Commercial Country. .

this Undertaking.
Resolved; That application be made to Parliament in the
nexf ensuing Sessions, for powers to execute such part there-
of as it may then be thouOt proper to apply tbr.
