ZtrrEß W.. • .. /n addreifing thyrelf to you, mifgnided ind un happy men of Ireland, I am not without hope that the folly of rebellion has not yet takes fuch firm pot fefilon of your minds, as to render yobr hearts cal lous to the dietates of reafon, and heedlefs of the calls of your Country. It would betray a great want of the moil perfea of all human virtues, to con fider all thole who have been beguiled into crimes, as totally loft to every fenfe of moral reprobation. On the contrary, Citaatit hopeth all things—where a glimmering fpatk of humanity remains unextin tuithed in the break, we ought not to defpond of teeing it brighten into a luftral flame. Animated by this fentiment, and relying on the native goodnef, of the Irith charaaer, I .dileard for the moment the dreadful principle that no imprethon can be made on rebels but with the (word; and, as a private indivh dual, felicitous for the happine(s and profpsrity of ?eland, appeal to your underftandings, bbnour, (elf rp;atereft, and patriotilm, as principles on which you y be gathered once more within the palladium rhat encircles the whole family of the United Empire. Three years have not yet elapfed fine Ireland was sailed from a Rate of colonial itifignificance, said the treihre of local grievances, to a copartnerthip in ill the dents and immunities of Britain. Yoit paired limn a ebndition of dependence, to the rank and (way bf Imperial power. Ennead of Chilling with reficaed inkre f .you are placed in a fituation to diffure light over the Whole empire ; and your Reirefestatives ainfted in the molt exalted prenftiee of human 'mel ted, the 'nation of laws for the Government Of the s Aron enlightebed people in the world. The profperity , the reinves t end the emancipation of Ireland, (mined cosillitnent articles of the Union; for, until you had taken your nation on a suss with us, you could not be fuppofed competent ins there in our community of good. The molt bens- Ariel eonfequences have sowed fiend this tient.— In Ireland the different orders of men because more barmonized :--in Britain, confidence &needed to fifpiclon, and was darned fo far, that the promo tars bfrebellion, who no* fcreen their guilt beneath sna& of cowards, have acknowledged in their idanihtio, u fl fix years ego wore troop: were ix Lacier meaty, Etta are mow is dm country ot law." Indeed,nothing proves more indifpntably the happy sleets of the union between the two countries, than the gederal pod condo& of the Irilb people fade the dole of the late rebellion. After having been too hag &dratted by internal fends, and the alternate Iriaints of rival (salons, you began not only to re fpire, but to feel the bleffings of independence.

Having learnt by fatal experience that you had become the dupes of the ambition and perfidy of trance, that the foie °Neel of its villainous govern: hunt was to expofe you to a promifcuous daughter, in order that, by the efforts of the one. and the critics of the other. both England and Ireland might be come fo weakened as to offer femirately an eider trey; yott felt the indignant pride of patriotifin glow within yodr bofords, and kornfully difdained to eon. sraa an alliance with i peiwer, whore friendfkip is only a fpecious name for &very.

From this review of your moral and political eon. &don, it is obvious that you are in rebellion without e mitigating motive, ancl-tommit treafon without a plea of grievance.

So far are they from avoiding every " appearance of revenge", that they avow : will not, however deny, that there are sour mess who have Oat it beyond our power to give to then the protection of a Government." Who there tome men" are, what is the number included in the bloody roll bf profetip 'ion, and what is the nature of that Government, which thus commences its proteftion with an avowal of a black and mallgiaant determination of revenge, may be gaily gnefied from the fpirit, context, and letter of its Manifefto. It points the dagger of affac. finalion at the breaft of every man, who is either poffetfed of property, or diftinguithed for public vir tue. The genius of this " free and independent Re public," was prematuialy developed at its firft dawn, which was lathered in by 'bricks of murder and a (erne of blood; unparalleled in the chronicles of hu man atrocity. A defencelefs and unarmed Magiftrate, not left exemplary in public thin in private life, whole faered perfon the laws of all civilized bations have Shrouded even from intuit, was affaffinited publicly in the Streets of your capital by that horde of drunken ruffians, whom the Manifetto of your leaders digni.

At the mention of does not the fecret voice .f holt& inftinft whifper that an impaffable gulph mutt ever yawn between you ? Would you exchange Ireland, stith all its fatilts, arid Irish all its silstortunes, to becodie a people tributary to a Corfiean defpot—to a ruffian faint, falfe as hell; whole faith is chinee ; who kitten only to enflave who marches to dellroj ; add to irhoin nothing. lint :he macs of mankind have given renown t The Watches who hate Seduced you to divafiate your country for the fake of Such an impure and unnatu ral easnettion, have concealed from you the genius and character of this difpettfer of liberty, equality, and emancipation. Himfelh, the greateft rebel upon earth; he it the moll inflexible punither of rebellion. Evenhanded juftice is a rejeaed Manger from his brain i defpifing thole who fuffer thertifelves to be corrupted by him, he has proved himfelf to be the moll Unrelenting exterminator of the nations whom be hat cajoled from the path of duty. The thirlt of blood confamei him ;—his empire role by rapine, and is (Whined by fraud; his religion is a mere pre. tence to rob and murder in the name of Heaven. Fora wretch like this, whofe infernal rage is direiled again ft every drop of vinaons blood upon the face of the unit. For that vindiaive banditti. who climate his order', *hen blind profcfion draftle a bankrupt world, and who, grown fangs in blood and re. pine, can find Ito land to lack and pillage bat our !fiend empire—for an inconftant populace fired with sliffolutenefs in the trildft of want, fit for profcrip dons and the blacken tieeds, as their proud feeder bids, deferring their (fiends at need, duped by their leaden, loud and feditiout when their headlong fury is encouraged, and fpa.niels, who lick the hand that (courses them, at once tyrants and flares, impious and mean, uniting the moll fhameful wafte to the moll rapacious want. For this man, and for there men, the people of !relied are called upon to feek their fplendour in certain difgrace, and without bond of lore, without unity, or ndrve, to become fee ever loft to fame abroad, and to happinefs at home. Beneath the (moods diffembling math of junice and compaffion, they would fetter down her high minded font, as a race of wild beans, unfit for liberty, patronized rebels to-day, defpifed flares to-morow. The government of France has already ftigmatized you with this epithet, and the forlorn nate of fubjugated nations proves, that, in the mind of Bonaparte, have and civilized are but fynonitnotob terms. Againft fach tyrannical power, the generous (word of every freeman &ould be drawn.

With refpet to thole religious dirptites which have convulfed Ireland, it mutt be olfferved, drat rebel lion againft. le;;itirnate authority is no evidence of a fincere ditirofition to make your country the prornifed land of union, toleration, and plenty. Differences in religious belief, are as natural as diffe ence of opinion on the moral cii comflance; of life ; but it is a reproach to either, when they are employed as de mersts of civil war. It is not improbable that the fame High Bzing who delegated to man the faculty of thought, and varied in minds equally endowed, die modus of feting and attaining truth, may alto take delight in receiving from weak mortals the pure oblations which emanate from their divertified reli. gious creeds. The &filings which the (hepherd-pa rent fanaified unto Heaven, were not lets acceptable than the burnt-offerings that blazed in Iliad, or the adoration of thofe who law the (tar of heavenly light in the eel and worshipped. From the altars of innu merable differing felts, the hallowed incenfe attends, and 'ere it reaches Heaven, mingles in one facred blaie of praife and glory before the throne of GOD . Hence, the proteltion which a flatt. may give to on: form of wor (hip ih preference to another, is no argu ment of its fuperior orthodoxy, but rather a declara tion of their acknowledgment of the necellity of re ligion, and the benignant influenca of divine truth over all the tranfaltions of men. Had the fpirit of true piety regulated your conduit, you would have praftifed the merciful doftrines of the religion you pictfefs, and not have adopted the hypocritical com plaint of intolerance, when you are the firft to let an example of perfecution. If any additional argument were neceffary to ellablifh the force of this reafoning, 1 I could not refer you to a more glaring one than the manifefto of your leaders, in which your religious prepoffefflons are the unvaried themes of their reproof and contempt. But this, I apprehend, is not the molt momentous confideration which preffes on the People. There are prudential and fell interefted motives which you fhould weigh feriouily before you refolve to perfevere in open hottilities againfk the ge neral government. No conflation cast be kilned with France, with oft expofing yourfelvits to the juft refentment of Great Britain, and provoking the Melt chaftift rhent from Bey powerful arm. If we had been in volvectin an unpopular war, if we had been divid ed into foriods parties, there might have been a faint hope on which the abettors of treafon might have looked for temporary faeces. but new, in this faered war of liberty, the fpirit of our *met tore is or, and with a voice that breathes faeces, we all demand the enemy. Freedom never wu overcome by 'env there is not an idiance of the kind recorded In hiflory ; corruption alone has firß dejeeted the pride and vigour of the fres• boas foul. But this is not the lot of the great ma jority of the people of Ireland; whole genuine loyalty and patriotic valour cannot be impeached. Conceive then; whet great odds they muR have who fight with jußice and eflablifhed authority on their fide, again& ;be tumultuous hirelings of treafon and violence ! Prudence, therefore, dilates that Ireland (hould not become felf.tnangled, in , order to abet the fury of the French *pica the liberty of this Empire ; but that every principle of honour, patriotifm, and virtue, ins perioully fummon you to participate in a war the moil renowned which any age ever Caw, sad whore never dying fame the infant progeny of future times (ball hip with tranfport. I appeal to that honour of which Irifhmen have always been tenacious, whether they with to live in fuch a war, and not fhare in its glory? Whether they would have theii names omitted in the • lifts of thole heroes who have marthalled thensfelees around the throne of the bell of kings i At the dole of this Rruggie, with What fatisfaalon and manly pride will every individual, who has taken a part in the facred caufe of his country, retire from the ems. Rill, and refume the ordinary purfuits of dorneflic life l In the condign punament, not only of the Corfican tyrant, but of his followers, the Uoited Empire will acquire immortal glory, and in the pla cid brow of innocence, confident of proteaios in the animate.: countenance of independent and afpiriog indufh7, Ireland will find its.happinafs. The two countries thus linked together, will there in each otbet's fortune, and like Garry lights of virtue, move together on the milky way of glory. The confede rated empire, ones roofed to battle, will give to free dom what it has often given to fame. Every thing now confpirea to a great facrifice, and we Limit with impatience when sarriads of our enemies (hall land upon our coatis to die. Your repentant seal will produce confequenees to behind far beyond the ex.' peastions of her moil &arsine admirers. The habit eof induß7 will engender the praltice of virtue-oth* praftice of virtue will lead to toleration. Peopled towns, villages, and widely-cultivated plains, will fill the (pace of unwholeforne marshes; the horn of plenty will be poured over the land, and Science will hoop to enter the poor man's door. In ikon, insegination itfelf can karcely piaure the bappincfs which is yet in Rote for your country. Infleed of tretfons, nor. ', den, robberies, and every fpecies of crime, fithend will become enviable in the eyes of the maid, sad tho wiry sad the shod, who Sow olorpiis hut fowl* will be proud , to court het (miles—inflead of hcirg confidered as the genuine feed of outlaws and rek.l., fhe will becoine a land of law and liberty. It is Heaven that furismons us to refill lawlefs pother; the generous batister of our forefathers is unfurled ! At the fight, let reviving virtue brighten in your heart.; let it fire the brave to general efforts, in the genera caulk t let it confirm the wavering, animate the timid and the cold ; prevent• perfidy, watch the faith lets, or call them back to honour. The awful Ma jelly of Goa is ptefent here; and the blafpheming Corfican boallet,• with his impious legions, one!: landed upon our :bores, will afford a tremendous 0 - fon to after-ages of the operations of retributive j3f tice, and an eternal warning to future tyrants of sls • danger of invading an empire, defended by teligh3e, virtue, and freedom.
