Sir 3, Nntrl*kier said, none could lie more sen sible of the magnitude. ad,l 'importance of the subject. ro which he WH$ fillOUt to call the atten, tion of the llottse nor of his ioability to do it• justice than he was. Why :Oleo, it might be ask ed, had'he not left it to Uentletuen of the Sister Kingdom in that House, who were more equal' to the task ? His answer to this %vas, and theflome wrothd feel that it was. a true pane before he sat down,, ''his zeal• had outrun his duty.:'' however, trusted the motion with.which he should conclude, once brought before the Honse, his de , . fects would he supplied by others, and especially by the two lion. Friends of his who represented the City and University of Dublin. The Right Hon. Baronec then proceeded to sltew that the disorga nization which still prevailed in Ireland, after a conueetion of six ,centuries with England; arose from the misgovernment of those who at various periods had been placed at the head of this coun try. 'This alone could have prevented the two Countries froth amalgamating, as had been the case' in every other part of the globe, where dif ferent 'notions were so long united. On the ac cesssion of James the First, an inquiry into the state of Ireland had beets instituted., The result of thi* had been headed down to us in a little hook, written by Sir John Davis, the Volute of which Was so well known, that all con t ine n t on it was unnecessary. He reprelented Ireland to 'have been anxious to, be admitted to the benefit of English law, but to have had-this request iustithtly met by a negative,-aud he had asked if it was sur prising, " that those Whoin England could hot role in peace by the - law, anal could not root out in war by the sword, should be pricks in •their eyes and thorus,in their Sides." The dif. ference between the administration Of justice in the two countries was thus So 'great, that where a murder was committed, it was first ascertained of wide') country the person murdered was a native, in order to decide what otensure of punishment should be inflicted on the assassin who, for de , nriviog an Irishman of life, was to he fined five marks ; but who, if it, were an Englishman that bad been killed, was to he put to death. Whe n such a system was established it was not to he Wandered et-if Ireland should only see in Eoglaml the,oppressive master rather than the generous friend.. It was said of Ireland, by Sir J: Davis, " I know cat no country under the sun that sloth love justice more than Ireland, and that cloth pay more attention, provided its people are protected bylaw, when theyshall require it on just grounds." It was not to be expected that they-wooled 'respect the laws which pintished, but which did not pro teet them. King James had endeavoured to- itti proye the state of Ireland by colonizatio»; but this bildiseen effected on wrong pa who were sent there, went rather as a garrison in an enemy's country than as fellow-subjects settle ing among their, friends. Great calamities resulted from this systeni, and when the troubles broke out between the Parliament and the Crow nint hi Conn. try, new disasters were• experienced by unhappy Ireland. Divided into parties, and fighting with each other, for and against the, Crown; in the name .cf the Lord Lieuten,ost against the Crown for Ormond Roil against Orntimd, and for . Ormond t Clanlnrg,in thc,e Goal tliSs-retteata ‘i+el-4 only put down . by the victorious %Word' of Cro9l well. The,Restoration, which brou:tht good to 'England, did not improve the situation of Ireland, When the bigoted James.the.Second called down upon him the just resentment of England, he took shelter in Iselaml, and the people of that ill-fated eouistry had thnnght it their•duty to espouse his cause, and sacrifice their conitexion with Eng land, and another dreadful strugde took place, which again terminated unhappily for the sister country. , With the RevOlutiou commenced tfit era of glory for England. Oar liberties were 'established on a solid basis, and thus the fonn dation laid for our sobsequent prospetity. hind not been the case with Ireland. There evety thing was sacrificed to the Protestant intrrvst, and the Penal Code Was illtrOdUCaci, , Which had justly been Called' by Lord Camden -" a 11101111- • ment of absurdity and oppression', that might well be expected to demoralize the -whole people.' 'To .show the principles on which Ireland hhtl then 'been governed, he read an extract from a-paper .bythe first Lord Shannon, written in 17 , 13 ;and 'there was a curious fact worth noticing mentioned' in thiS 'paper, namely, that in those days Ireland did not raise a sufficient quantity of grain •to sup ply its Own consumption, but Was au irrTorting country. There was at that time no such' thing as a representation of the people of Ireland.'--- The Parliaments of that country were so con stituted that their interests and views Were totally separated from thirse of the people. , As an illustration of this, lie 'said, that about the time of which he w as s p ea ki ng , a Petition had been preseuted to the..Jrish Parliament from the draynten and coal-heavers of Dublin, contplain ing that a coal4tterchant of that city, who was of the Roman Catholic persuasion, employed nOrte• but Catholic lahourers, and .praying that thifi in divirduaal might be made to employ othera. 4itch was the spirit of the Irish House of Ccumnimi; twat this Petition was not only allowed to lie uti. on the table, but *as referred to the Committee. of Grievances, cOuld it be wonderidthat'a -Par liament, acting on such principles, had entirely, lust the confidence of the people, as their inte rests were so much di - sunited ? What would the House think when he 'reminded theme that it 'was' actually prop ose d . to t h e Irish P m arliaent Geo.' „ 1. to 'Witt, StippllCS at once for the service of 21- ,years ? --and this resolutioo,-,WaS 'l os t o al y by a slogle . vote !

Such "wits the state of Ireland till . J778---a date recalling the past glories of thai unlispity Country; for then it was that an individi t ai or s .. famitssio appeared t h e c h amp i on of I:er tights—the streau• o il s and successful sintlicator of lies' privilegs, win!, by the powerof his elotple ttoe an d 'l s i s nag slum, obtained that concord seed una n i m i ty w siial, ,alotte was required to secure the prosperity of fliat country.

By the Act of Union, Par , liament took upon itself the 'responsibility of pro viding for time interests of Ireland. pow had this responsibility hitherto been observed 2 - He only desired that our Statute Books since the Union might be examined ; and it would then be Sean in how small a compass was contained all ihitt had been done for Ireland. The people of that ,country had during the war fought against Our . foreipin enemies with a degree of bravery which, perhaps, in some instances might be equalled, 7but which could never !be Surpassed.-- They . had sacrificed asinuch in money as in'blood 'during the contest. Since the Union Ireland had paid into our coffers nolesi a sum than sixty-seven Porinerly the annual - amount of her ex pendit ore did pot exceed 1,500,000/.; hut nowlit was on an average above 4,500;000/. Her debt, too,' had been • angumented ft urn ,000,000/. to 150,000,000/. Ile would therefore say that dur ing time coldest she• b a d ma d e .sacrif ices in mo ney and in .blood even beyond' her means. This being the case, it remained fur Parliament to ful fil its part of the compact—it remained that tin inquiry slitinhi be made into the enlists of those •dreadful distresses under which that country now laboured. He detininded this not as e. how) . hut. tts a ; not as a matter of favour but o f jos- Nee. There could certainly not be a more favour.; able time than the present for this inquiry.
