to a charge lately d. livered by an Irish (liaison, and observed
that the clergy, whilst they raw red their claims, ought to re-
-collect that they had duties to perform—duties which were toot,
which mold not be pelf...owl by ums-resident clergy. In
short it would seem that there 11144 a fatal:l,o.unit every thing
relating to that u for tower, country. Much was expected from
the appointment of hhe late Chief Co •r; but great as were
the talents of the Noble Lord, those espeetations were not

son to believe that instead of being, as the country was,

hew dim much to bang about a snood state of things.—
Rufertoostely, how. vet, Ministers were implttie enough to

and am/ lent this tountiy to their ambitious plans--the

*host, Ministers acted as if the governors and the governed

M Mie'-e.i-s had meted differently—if they had consulted the
1,11tfe71.11 of the people, the affsi.s of Europe would now
bare a ilsfferent aspect. Instead of taking • part against
those who were struggling for their liberties, Elegised would
have bees the saviour of Europe. It was Mioisters the

which was drank with applause.

Rev. Gestkinais had dictated the meeting illegal. The High
