The GIGANTIC SCHEME OF THE EAST INDIA

INDIA UNDER THE SUPERISTENDENcE OF AaERl'
cxNs.-It will be remembered that we are The
first journal TO give notice OF the movements Of
the East India Company, by means oftheir agent
Captain Bayles, in the Southern Su tes, in rela-
lion TO cotton planting. Several journals at
tempted to throw discrcdit on our statements, at
the tm", and 10 doubt the designs and the mag
nitude CT the intentions of that company as we
pointed them out We presume that all doubt
on the subject will cease when the following i'm
portant paragraph from the Manchester Guar

individuals from the United States, with saw gins
aud other machinery for the cleansing Of cotton
and we now copy the following paragraph on the
subject from the Atlas:
