He wished he could believe that there was not now in Ireland a greater body of men disaffeeted to time Government, than ever existed of the same sort in this Coontry at any time, but he . could not bring himsellto that belief, a n d therefore he could nut say that the measure before theflutitie was without - foundation,.
