sy system, which has bens se needy, end at theism*
themes fatally, followed by most of the Governments

this evil, appearei a sash *ergs, of Lew'. goons.
lb proposed Se pay off that nation's debt, as it were,
by a single stroke, and this grettness of the idle re.
commended it to the Duke of Orlesto, then Regent.
whose sanguine temper iodised him to adopt the
wildest expedients. This was lb. first and grandest
attempt to introduce a paper credit, pool thereby re-
lieve the state, sod ti II public revenue, f e n the nor- .
moos interest which absorbed all the gold sod silver
of the coustry.
Lee's Beek was established in 1718, and snort
after divined Royal, and stilted with she MI • 'poi ,
I or West India Company, from whose commerce the
greatest riches were expected to flow ; sad this esta.l
blishment-soon etwallowed up all the ether trading
Companies io the-kingdom. It undertook the matiege. I
merit of the African trade, sod also acquired the viol
'Begets! no old: East India Company, founded by
the grant Colbert, which had fallen tote decay, mud
relinquished its trade to the overcharge of St. Mabee.'
The solid foundation epee which this Company op-'
peered to be established, and the vast advantages it
held Nub, occasioned its stock to rise to above 4tt
times its original value. To show who ere stoic. i
qvainted with the power of public confidence, and she
operation of State delusion, the nose of ibis earns. I
dinary effect may not be uoacceptoble.
It had long been promoted and believed, that the
country in the neighbourhood of the river Mississippi I
contained ineshaestible treasures ; Iww sad his ems-
tiers &sailed themselves of this credelity, and che-
rished it by mysterious reports. It was whispered all
a secret from the Cabinet, that lb* celebrated bet fa.
bylaws mines of St. Bathe had et length been disco-
wed, and that they wen even richer than (sine bad
painted them. To give the greater colour to this de-
ceitful rumour, a corps of miners was seat to lovei.
Siang, to dig op, as was pretended, the abundant
tr . hey were aceeinpattled by a body of
troop., sufficient to defend them tipsiest the Spaniards
and Indians, as well as to guard she precious pro-
vince of their toils. The impression which this stra.
tagem made on the nation is altogether astonishing.
Every one strove to obtain a shore in the stock ef the
new Company. The Mississippi scheme became the,
object and the end of every pursuit. Lew turned the
public folly to so greet an account, that be wisest.'
shied, in consequence of she chimerical vales of the'
funds, in lb. course of the neat year (1719) to fa.
titivate so many notes, that their amount exceeded
eighty times the real value of the current coils of the
kingdom, which by this lime had all made its way
into the coffers of the Government. The debts of the
Slate sere paid off by this paper, and that transit-
Ina first created a suspicion, which afterwards spread
into a general alarm. Every one now wanted to con-
vert his notes again into cash, but the disproportion
of specie was so immense, that in a short time scarcely
any thing could be obtained for them. Public credit
sunk to the lowest ebb; and a tyrannical edict was
published, forbidding private persons to keep by
thews above five hundred byres In specie (little more
than 20i. sterling), end this despotic proceeding
served only to crush the undertaking more effec.
teeny, and to inflame the injored and insulted nation
against the Regent. Lew. who bad been made Comp.
troller-General of the Finances, and caressed at
Court, was now execrated, and obliged to fly from
a country he hail so shamefully beggared, in order to
discharge the debts of the Crown. The sufferings of
the adventurers, chiefly fathers of families, who had
regretted real and personal estates into waste paper,
can better be conceived than described.

Thus ended, in France, the fatness, or rather infs.
moos Mississippi scheme, but its elects, however,were
not confined to that kingdom. Numerous foreigners
hail adventured in theta fonds ; and the stock.jobbing
contagion lad infected other nations. Holland felt
the whack in a slight degree; but it fell with peculiar
violence on England, where its mischiefs appeared in
a variety of forms.
