sothiog can exceed the efithusiasm of joy with
'which the people of IreLud greet the Kt No on his
arrival w that country. It i s exceedingly delight-
*lot to read of the perfea uniformity of opinion, the
shartnony of sentiment thin now prevails among the
people of the sister island. The KING is at this
moment the most popular mail in Ireland, and so
'fervent seems to be the devotion of the people to his
person, that, as one of the Dublin Papers very justly
*reool kw, 4" the word layaliy is far too cold to ex-
press their feelings." This ponu!arity of the K ['no
to Ireland is by no means a new-born sentiment,
-.alai 'ugh it airy, tinder the peculiar circumstances
-of the moment, burst loofa with more than ordi-
'nary animation. While his MAJESTY was yet
Prince of Walea, he was a great favourite with all
classes of persons in that country, and his MAJEI.T'Y
need frequently to declare that he newer should for-
get the confidence ona affection ~hewn to him by
the Parliament and people of Ireland, when on the
'occasion of the late KING'S unhappy itichsposition
to the year 1788, he was, as Prince of %VALES, in-
vested with the title of Prince Regent of Ireland,
void empowered to exercise all the functions of the
office during the illness of his illustrious
father. Every +only knows that on that momentous
nee:loon the P 0: Carat Britain, under the
guidanee of 11r. PITT. and the Parliament of Ire-
land, led by Mr. GRATTAN. adopted different
principles with respect to the right of the Heir Ap-
parent to fill any vacancy in the executive power,
from whatever cause arising and that while Mr.
•Prri and his party declared Rim any roan in the
Icatgdom had as much right to be appointed to the
Renew.), as the Prince of Wahes, the majority of
the Par:ianietit of I relandinsimitly recognised ist his
itoyut flighoess rights equiv.-loft to those of here-
•.l tiry descent, sod prayed him to take up the
rays' sceptre which had fallen from the neiveless
bowl of its unconscious possessor. The principles
on which the Whip of those days in both countr:es
riet•?d accorded perfectly wits the sentiments enter-
tained and ainsweil by the Prince of WaLus, the
