courts. There is another officer of late conftitution; called 
the purveyor, and appointed by the commiffioner of the 
dock-yard at-Portfmouth, whofe bufiliefs it is to affign 
timber for the ule of the navy. 
A propofal was made many years ago to the lcrd-trea- 
furer Godolphin, for repeopling this foreft. The cele¬ 
brated Daniel de Foe drew up the fcheme, and argued it 
before that noble lord and fome others, who were princi¬ 
pally concerned at that time in bringing over, or rather 
providing for when they were come over, the poor inha¬ 
bitants of the Palatinate ;'a thing in itfelf commendable, 
but, as it was managed, made of no benefit to England, and 
miferable to thofe poor people. Some perfons being or¬ 
dered, by the noble lord above mentioned, to confider of 
meafures how thofe people fnould be provided for, with¬ 
out injury to the public, the New Foreft in Hampfhire was 
Singled out to be the place for them. Here it was pro- 
poled to draw a great fquare line, containing 4000 acres of 
land, marking out two large highways or roads through 
the centre, crolling both ways ; fo that there fhbuld be 
1000 acres in each divifion, exclufive of the land contained 
in the fa id crofs-roads. Then to fingle out twenty men 
and their families, who fhould be recommended as honeft 
induftrious people, expert in hufbandry, or at leaft capa¬ 
ble of being inftrufted in It. To each of thefe fhould be 
parcelled, but in equal diftribution, 200 acres of this land; 
f’o that the whole 4000 acres fhould be diftributed to the 
faid twenty families ; for which they fhould have no rent 
to pay, and be liable to no taxes, but fuch as would pro¬ 
vide for their own lick or poor, repairing their own roads. 
See. this exemption to continue for twenty years, and 
then to pay each fifty pounds to the crown. To each of 
thefe families it was propofed to advance tw r o hundred 
pounds in ready money, as a ftock to fet them to work, and 
to hire and pay labourers to inclofe, clear, and cure, the 
land ; which, it was fuppofed, the firft year, could not be 
fo much to their advantage as the following years ; allow¬ 
ing them timber out of the foreft to build themfelves 
houfes and barns, flieds and offices, as they fhould have 
occafion ; alfo for carts, waggons, ploughs, harrows, and 
the like neceflary implements. Theie twenty families 
would, by the confequence of their own fettlements, em¬ 
ploy and maintain fuch a proportion of others of their 
own people, that the whole number of Palatines would 
have been provided for, had they been many more than 
they were, and that without being any burden upon, or 
injury to, the people of England ; on the contrary, they 
would have been an advantage, and an addition of wealth 
and ftrength, to the nation, and to the county in parti¬ 
cular where they fhould be thus feated. Two advantages 
were expeCled from this fcheme; viz. 1. That the annual 
rent to be received for all thefe lands, after twenty years, 
would abundantly pay the public for the firft difburfe- 
ments. 2. More money than would have done this was 
thrown away upon them here, to keep them in fufpenfe, 
and afterwards ftarve them ; fending them a-begging all 
over the nation, and ffiipping them off to perifh in other 
countries. The fpot where the defign was laid out was 
near Lyndhurft, in the road from Romfey to Lymington.

NEW GENE'VA, a thriving poft-town of America, 
on the bank of the Monongahela-river, juft below George’s 
Creek, about eighteen miles north of Morgantown. This 
town is a place of much bufinefs, partly by the glafs- 
worksin its vicinity, which not only fupply the neighbour¬ 
hood with winclow-glafsj bottles, &c. but fend large quan¬ 
tities down the river: here is alfo a paper-mill, and a manu¬ 
factory for mulkets: fmall boats are alfo built in this place. 
NEW GENE'VA, a village of the county of Water¬ 
ford, Ireland, nearly oppofite to Duncannon Fort, where 
many good houfes were erefted feveral years ago by go¬ 
vernment for the reception of the expatriated citizens of 
Geneva; but, they having relinquifhed the defign of fet¬ 
tling in Ireland, the place remains uninhabited. 
Soon after the revolution of 17 8 2, (fee the articleGE Neva, 
vol. viii. p. 317.) a memorial, ligned by more than 1000 
Genevans of both fexes, who were either perfons of iome 
property or verfed in trade or manufactures, expreffing a 
defire of fettling in Ireland, was pfefented to earl Temple 
(marquis of Buckingham), then the lord-lieutenant of 
Ireland. His excellency, apprifed of the advantage which 
would redound to Ireland from the reception of fo many 
induftrious artifts, many of whom poflefled property in 
the Engliffi, Iriffi, and French, funds, communicated, 
in September 1782, the propofal to the privy-council of 
Ireland for giving an afylum to the Genevan emigrants. 
This propolal, patronized by the lord-lieutenant, and 
unanimoufiy confented to by the privy-council, was ap¬ 
proved by the king. The Irifli parliament voted 50,000!. 
towards defraying the expenles of their journey, and build¬ 
ing a town for their reception ; lands were purchafed for 
8000I. and part of the town was actually completed at the 
expenfe of io.oool. and a charter was granted, with very 
coniiderable privileges. In July 1783, feveral Genevans 
landed in Ireland ; but, when the nation had expended 
near 30,000k the project was fudaenly relinquiftied, and 
the fettlement finally abandoned. The failure has been 
attributed to delays in the arrangement of fo complicated 
a plan, occafioned alfo by the high demands of the Gene¬ 
van commiffioners, who, in preparing the charter, required 
many privileges that were contradictory to the laws of 
the land. In confequence of thefe delays, and the refent* 
ment of the Genevans, many returned and took the oaths 
of allegiance to the new government. The projeCl be¬ 
came gradually lefs popular ; the few Genevans, who had 
prematurely landed in Ireland, were difcontented at not 
finding the new town ready for their immediate reception 5 
and, the emigrants who poflefled moft property having 
withdrawn their names, the reft wanted fufneient capital 
to fettle in a foreign country, and to eftablifli an extenfive 
manufacture, without Hill farther affiltance. In confe¬ 
quence of this deficiency, the Genevan commiffioners pe¬ 
titioned to appropriate io,oool. of the 50,000k for the pur- 
pofe of forming a capital. But, as that fum had been 
voted by parliament for other purpofes, the petition was 
rejected ; and the Genevans, in an addrefs to the duke of 
Rutland, who fucceeded lord Temple as lord-lieutenant, 
relinquilhed the fettlement, and foon afterwards quitted 
Ireland.
