dtlfautllJe refund of the 19th of September last to allow then
to present their Vitra/Mee directly to your Majesty, was aft
founded upon motives drawn from the old constitutional
right of petition enjoyed by the Estates.
Your faithful Estates have deeply lamented the maw
any then met with to allow them to carry their Weds
to the steps of the throne, because the relied

highest flmMee of the state government to recognise the

The right of consultation flows from the spirit of the I.

the meounts of the dims from famine in Ireland, came
together in a public meeting on the Orb of February last, And
made a voluntary contribudou of 15,000 dollars. This offer-
ing a committee have placed entirely at my disposal, with no
ocher restriction than that' it be applied with the least pos-
sible delay, in order to alleviate, in the most general and
equitable manner, the sufferings of the people of Ireland, by
the purchase of food for their relief." Mr. Baneroft in-
closed • draft for the amount. In acknowledging the com-
munication Lord John Russell replied: " It appears to as
that the best mode of dispensing this magnificent contribu-
tion is to transmit it, without delay, to the central relief
committee in Dublin, presided over by Lord Kildare. I
shall, accordingly, send the amount to him, with a copy of
your letter." He adds: " Her Majesty the Queen has seen,
with the highest satisfaction, the manifeeM6 of generosity
and charity of a nation sprung from the seme origin se ma-
stless."
