neighbourhood of the metropolis, and particularly Ireland, has frequently experienced: we know, too fatally, that their com- 11:01 place of rendezvous is a moor or conmon.

My ſecond argument is, that Tncloſures will almeſ entirely dut an end to robberies. Footpads,&c. are never ſo frequent in incloſed grounds as on Blackheath and ſuch places, from the well known principle of—the greater the impediment, the leſs the chance of ſucceſs.

My third argument is, that Cultivation ſoftens the manners of the people; witneſs the Chineſe; and on the oppoſite ſide, even our neighbours the“ wild Iriſh,” as they are proverbially called—does theirs not ariſe from the zildneſs ot their country?

Tn which that Gent'eman obſerves, that the two parties ſeem ſhy of coming to a diſcuſſion; the reaſon for which he ſuppoles to be, that both parties appear to run into extremes; and as he agrees on the whole with neither, he conceives him- ſelf moſt likely to ſuggeſt ſome proper medium between theſe two extremes. He ets out with diſdaining any intention of attack on the monopoly of the Eaſt India-Company, but he con- ceives it to be a monopoly attended with two circumſtances. 1ſt, That the exportable produce of India exceeds what at preſent the capital of the Eaſt-India Company is capable of

embracing,

2d.‘That the monopoly of the Eaft-India Company does
