The publick will not have forgotten, thats
at the time when the forcible entry wus made
at Sir Francis Burdett’s house ; at the titne,
when iAe army wes called forih to execute the
warrant of the Honowrabic House ; at the time
when the soldiers, in pursuunce of this object
éntered Sir Francis's dwelling, forced this
true Englishmun’s castle, and, with nuskets
louded, pbuyonets fiked, swords drawn, und the
match at the wouch-hole of the cunnons, suc

Mr. Roaer O’Coxnor was in Sir Francis’s
huuse.~l he publick, or, at leust, that part
of the publick, who have been, for the last
fifteen years, in the habit of attending to po
atical matters, know, that about thirteen years
80, Mr. Arriur O’Conxor, a younger
brother of Mr. O’Coxndn, was charged with
treasonable designs; and, after some vain at+
tempts at producing a legul conviction 6f him,
the government of lreland entered into a
treaty with him, agréeing to drop all proceed-
INgs aguinst certain of his friends, and to put
@ stop 10 the works of the army aguinst the
people to whom he waus knewn to be attached,
upon condition of his giving them whatever
information’ he might possess relative to the
views and resources of the people in insur
rection, and upon the further condiuon of his
emigraling to auy country not at war with
Eogland. In consequence of this treaty, Mr,
Arihur G'Connor emigrated, «nd is, at this
time, understood to be the conductor of a
celebrated printy called the Areus, publish
ed at Paris, in the English language ; o pring,
which; it is supposed, und perhops, truiy, has
done, und is doing, u great deal of ilnjury to

These pubiick robbers, like private robbers,
and indeed. like real criminuls of every sort,
and description, alwuys, ins'eud of thinking
about their own defence. think about nothing
but of the mannet, in which they sball attuck
the motives, or t‘c' characters, or both, of
their sccusers. They do not suy, “the char
ges preferred aguinst us ure false ;" they darve
not s.y, ¢ the things alledged against us are
not crimes.”==-But, unable to deny either the
criminulity of the deeds or that thuse
deeds have been done by them, they say noth
ing at ull about the churges aguinst themselves
but full to the preferring of charges against
their accusers ; charges, too, which have
nothing in common with, which have no sort
of connection with the churges preferred as
gainst them, and which they do not attempt
to repel only becuuse they cannot repel them.
In defauit of trurh they never séruple to re

the basest of all posible modes of hostility =
To this mode of attack the burough-mongers
and their hivelings had recourse. upon the oc
cution of Sir Francis’s commitment to the
Tower. They saw him in prison : they sew
that physical force had prevuiled over him .=
This they would have liked well : this would
huvedeligited them : this would have flattered
their guilty souls with a promise of a cessation
at least, of those deadly hostiiities, which Sir
Francis, at the head of (e people of England,
and of the whole Kingdom, was waging a
guinst them. But, they saw ; to their inex.
pressible mortification, they saw; at the same
time, that the soldiers had been called out ;

stutioned opposite the Hoaourable House: -
There was no geting rid of these fucts 3
and, unless they could be gotten rid of, it was;
the borough-mongers saw, in vain to attempt
to cheat this world into a belief that the friends {4
of Sir Fruncis were a * contemprible raoble
The next fetch was to accuse the friends of I‘3
Sir Francis with violent and murderous actions j ‘!.“!
with firing of pistols, in zbe.umu' at the ur- ‘*‘

biock up the ends of sweets, and tumble down. -

wy. IF this had been true, It wonld have dfs®
forded nothing in support of the assertion of "
the friends of Sir Francis being ¢ a conpemps
tible rabble ;" but it was notorviously lulse §«
and we have now pretty good preofs of the: '
fulsehvod in the fuilure of the offer of 5004 |
to bring forth any evidence of a transgression:
of the luw having been commttied by the peos * *
ftey while it has been proved upon the ouths
of two juries, thut some of the lfe gudrds did -
commit wilful murder upon two, at leust, of
the people. There Is no geuing over thiss
Soldiers ure sent to aid in execmfng an ordes
of the ¢ Representatives of the people ;” undy
in this execution, the said Soldiers commit
murder upon the people ; while it has not, id
uny case, been proved, that the people, though |
some of them were murdered, by the soldiers;
commitied any uct of viol*nce upon the Sols
diers. What, then, were the borough-mons
gers and their hirelings 10 do ? Why, resort
10 their old expedient ja=numely—ubuse, des
fame, vilify, the persons, by whom this exs
posute has been produced. For this purposé
the accident of Mr. O’Coxnoi’s Leing in the
house of Sir 'rantis at the time of us beiv g
broken open, was eagerly seized on, particus
larly by one writer, who, in his conduct uvyon
this occasion, hus discovered a degree of
maulighity and of cowardice rak ly to be met
with even in the crew to whicl\\i'a belon; sy
and fiever to be found in any other descriptiont
of men. The baseness of this mun’s atte ke
upun Me. O'Connor is truly unspeakable. N¢
tords can do justice to it. It was not niereiyf
a wuntoß attack ; Mr. O’Conhor was not oniy
ah unoffending party in this cusey and it wad
not only attucking him for the alledged crimea
of his brother, since he (e ft the A'in(v{om, )
well us while he was in it. In addition to ull
this there was the reflection that the asagliang
was favoured by a sirong popular ﬁrcjudice}
existing in England, against the very name o
O’Connor ; and, the assuilant, however defis
cient in point of understanding, abd talentsy
hud cunning eno to percelve, that the pree
judice would, ln“‘l:lﬁ dtmu unly E“'»
work for him and his nuble causes
There was, however, something so detestas
bly unjust in the attack, thut very féw persond
were influenced by it. Detestation was the
feeling that it generally exchédy yet, 1 could
not satisfly myself that I hed done my duty
wi hout bringing the case of Mr. O’Contiery
filly before the English priblick ; and, theres
fore, for the purpose of doing which, I bege
ged bim to furhish me with a Narrative of
what passed in respect to accusations againsé
him by the government, which Narrative, ins
deed, I was the more anxious to possess,from
having heard that liberal-minded, kind, and
hongst mun, Dr. LAWRENCE, say, that nevery
wus trestment more unworthy thun that
which this very gentleman had receivéd, undg
concerning which treatment, the Doctor sent
me some papers, during the adminisifution
of Mr. Fox and Lord Greenville. This cirs
cumstance naturally gave a spar 10 the othet
motives, which led me ty desire o possesd
Mr. O’Connor’s Narrativé; which buving obe
tuined, I bere present it to wmy readers in 4ié
own words. Upon reading this Narrativeg
whiere is the just man, who wiil uot join me
in éxecrating the recent attempt to excite;
reew, a suspicion of hls churacter and hié
motives ! Well muy he set out with observs
ing, that the people of England know worsé
than nothing übout Ircland, But, this is nog
strange : % divide and oppress,” is an ol(’
maxim ; and, it would be strange indeed, i
this maxim were forgotten by the boroughs
mongers and their hirclings. Hemnce the
never-ceasing calurnies upon the Irish peos
ple. Who upon observing thie matner, if
which Mr. O’Connor has been spoken ofy
since the affair of Piccadilly, would fiot imags
ine, that he was a low, desfierate ddventurery
or, at least, a wman lving .T“ Sir Francis §
a sort of hireling patriot ; in shorty a mun als
most as despicaglo as if he were a toolu gulps
er of false oaths under a borough-monger §
almost as«despicable .3 if he were a journeys
man in the work of corruption. Yet is Mu:
O'Connor a gentleman of ancient family and
of independent fortune; having his poueuiont
in lands, beiog one of the owners of his nas
tive countryy and baving of course, all thd
mbtives that a man can possibly have for pres
venting that country from being robbed, foff
nveventing profierty from being taken fronk
the ownera, of whatever description the robs
ters may be, or under whatever name they
may approach. With this preface I thall
sibmit the Narrative 10 my readers, beseechs
ing them to reflect, that lr{ohm are not only
men as well as themselves, that they have nof
only feelings as well as Englishmeén § but thak
Englishn en posscss no rights, to the enjoys
ment of which Irishmen ar® not fudy enticiedy
and that, to deny this proposition is to detlare
open war ageinst the people of lreland, and
