parts of the country, of a million of commodities, which, until latterly, were either unknown, or unheeded, so will the duties collected at the several chokies, (custom-house stations,) and at the several ports, together with the demand for British manufactures, be proportionally aug- mented. It should be very generally made known, that the Company receive into their treasury all the realized property of persons demising in India, under letters of administration, or under the acts of executors, duly acknowledged and certified by the supreme courts of justice at the several presidencies. This effectually secures the in- terest persons in Europe may have in the estates of friends, &c., dying in India: so rigidly is this observed, that the relatives of any private soldier may fully ascertain how his property, if any, has been disposed of, and receive whatever sums may be forth-coming from the sale of his effects, &c.

Such a measure fully guards the principal of any sum left in the Company's treasury; while, at the same time, the most pleasing facility is given to individuals, to enable them, of their attornies, to receive the interest, either at the presidency, or in the moofussul, (that is, from the collectors,) according as may be convenient: but such can only be done under a specific power of attorney.
