In our review of Mr Colebrooke's Treatife, at page 29th of the present Volume, it ought to have been mentioned, that the measure of the permanent fettlement of the revenues of Bengal, to which we have there given fuch merited praise, was originally fuggefted by Mr (now Sir Philip) Francis, in a plan submitted by him to the Court of Directors, fo long ago as the year 1776, and published in England in 1782. We have reafon to believe, also, that Lord Teignmouth, though he approved of the principle of that measure, resisted its immediate execution, and was, in this refpect, rather an opponent, than a coadjutor, of Lord Cornwallis.
