His Excellency SIMON, Earl of HARCOURT, Lord Lieu

Speech to both houfes.of Parliament, at Dublin, onTuef
day, the loth day of October, 1775.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
YOUR distinguished. loyalty to the King; yourjuft atten
tion to the honor and dignity.of hi§ government, and
your well regulated zeal for the peace and happiness of yoiir
country, have made so sensible an impression on my mind,
during a three years residence AH}opgft you, that, encouraged
by the experience of what I have seen, it is with the most sin
cere fatisfadion I meet yog again in Parliament.
I am persuaded that you entertain a grateful fen fe of the
blessings you enjoy under the mild and firm government of
the belt of, Sovereigns; and his Majeily relies on the known
zeal and loyalty of his fubjeQs of lreland, that, whitft his.gQ-.
vernment is disturbed by a rebellion existing in a part of his..
American dominions, you will be ready to faew your ipvjp-,
lable attachment to his person and government, in the affi,gt@,
of his just rights, and in the support of his legal authority.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
I h^ve ordered the proper accounts and estimates to. be laid
before you, that you may be enabled to judge of the provi
sions necessary to be made for the ordinary expenses of his
Majelly's eilablifhmenrs, and for difeharging an ARREAR
which has been unavoidably incurred. ..
My Lordsand Gentlemen,
lam happy to inform you that, since your lad meeting,:
his Majesty's tender concern for the welfare of this kingdoms
hath induced him to pass several laws in the Britiflr Parliament
highly beneficial to your commerce, your manufactures and/
ys^r, agriculture.-
By the aft wh^h extends, the great advantages of Britifhi
fifhtries to Ireland^ a.fource of indudry and- wealth is opened
tp you, which has. made other nations .great and flourishing.,
Let me, therefore, recommend to your earnest attention, the,
improvement of advantages tending so ebvioufly to promote
your navigation and trade, in the pursuit of which you may
depend upon my warmest assistance and support.
The aft which allots theclcthing and accoutrements, ne
cessary for his Majesty's forces, paid from the revenues of this
.kingdom,to be exported from Ireland, is a particular mark
of the reyali favor-; and even^h'at which allows the importa
tion of rape feedinto-Great-Britain from this kingdom, under
certain regulations, connefted-with those salutary laws passed
in your laffifeffion, form such a fydem of -agriculture and im
provement as will, I crafty fecu-re riches and-plenty to the peo
ple of Ireland.
A bounty granted by Great-Britain upon the importation of
f^x-feed i^fomarleed a recommendation of the linen manu
faflnre, that it becomes -needfefsfor me to urge the raeft per
feve'ring application to that ftsple of your country.-
The Protettant charterTchoaL, an-inftitation eilablifhed on
the , principles of wisdom and humanity, and so peculiarly,
adapted to the prefect fate; of circumlUnces of this kingdom,
are eminently entitled to your consideration and care.
On my part, you may be affur^d that LGall continue faith
fully to reprelent your loyalty and zeal tohis Majesty ; and
rbat I shall chearfud-y co-Operate with you in c whitewer,inay
,-n u to advance the prosperity and happin^^^Qh thwy kipg
