At the period of the Union, alth'ongh not in Parlianient, .he had given it his support out of doors. He felt it his duty now to state, hoWever, that the hopes then held out on the 0411 of thii country were de-. luOVe ; t!. at the expectations eXcited'were not ful filled; and that many publie measures, Which were to luive been the result of the' Uttion, reniaitied one;tecnied, Much bad been said of the progress of prnsPerity in Ireland since 'the . Union ; but he begged leaVe to tibierVe, that iii Many instances the eitports had been leis since that event than before—he alluded particularly to. her linen trade, in which her eXports were greater: in 1792 and 1793, than they had been :Since the Union. The Right Hon. Part.then penceededi With; his usual clearnessi to point out the evils under which Ireland had laboured, as well froM the ab sence of its principal landholders, as from the adop • tioti of an erroneous system of taxation, which had enhanced the deficiency of her revenue. 'With re spect to the present mesealre, lie thought it would have been better it it bad been adopted three years back, :is to have held gnu the hope that she could have paid the proportion of the burdens of the State imposed upon her at'the'Union, was Merely to have kept alive a delusion, which could .ouly end its some such course as that now about to he taken. It Was his opinion, that in the ctinstili datiou of the taxes of the two 'count! ies, no tax hhould be imposed upon Ireland which was not imposed upon every part of Great' Britainatthe sante-time. Lord CASTLEtIRAGIt said, that the construct ion which his Right Hon. Fricnd bad put upon the clause in question was, in his junigment, theseal anti trite contruction. It would be more manly, therefore, to meet the difficulty at once, titan to postpon e i t to a f uture day, when the evil would he considerably increased. A • system of identity of taxation formed the great basis of the Seotelt Union but, at the time of the Union wit h'lrv - land, the debt of Great Britain 'preponderated sti much, that it would have been 'unfair to have call ed upon her to cutter into It Paitership of debts'. Fort his reason t he quota principle had been adopted on that occasion ; butt as the 'debt of Ireland had now passed the point of prOporthiri, it would he i.th surdand unjust to continne thesame state of things', Since 1811, the debt- hail' 'been a.ptinst instead of being in her favour ; and therefore, to delay the measnre for fouir years ionger niust he highly impolitic in every view of the subject. He did not• wish to revive any of those . animqsitirs which had been excited with respect.to.the LinionT but, in regard to the quot; he could not agree with many of the reasonings of the flonourabie Baronet, without stating..thaj this was the only point that had not been opposed at .the time. It was iterileil in . it spirit of indalgence to Ire land, and was grounded on the best and fairest principles, If x property tax had existed at that. period, it might have famished a better cri terion; but as that was not the cit , e, We were obliged to have 'recourse fo the relative sittni lion of the tw o cotiittries.

The time, however, was now come:which Parliament, had originally contemplated, and b trusted the [louse. wind(' adopt rise law which had beenproposed. He not think that this country had ever heard' any complaint front Ireland against our tax6i; the attention of the legislitureirad bear frequently directed to many grievances which were stated to . exist in that part of the kingdom, hut tint a word had beets:Said against our system of:taxation.
