INFORMATION TO THOSE WHO WOULD REMOVE
TO AMERICA.
LITTIR TO I. VAUGHAN'S-Q. JOLT QC 1754.

Many persons in Earns), having directly. or by
letter,. expressed to the writer of this, who is well
acquainted with North America. their: desire of
transporting sad astablidang themselves in that
country. but who appear to him to have formed.
through ignorance. mistaken ideas and expedatious
of what is to be obtained there ; he thinks it may
be useful. and prevent inconvenient. expensive. and
fruitless removals and voyages of improper persons.
if he gives snore clearer attd truer notions of that
part of the world then appear to have hitherto pre.
veiled.

Ile finds it is imagined by members that the in-
habitants of North America are rich. capable of
rewarding. mod disposed to reward all sorts of inge-
nuity ; that they are, at the same time. ignorant of
all the sciences, and consequently that strangers
possessing talent iu the Belles Lewes. doe arts.
&c. must be highly esteemed. arid so well pail, as
to become easily rich themselves; that there are
also abundance of profitable offices to be disposed
of. which the natives are not qualified to dal; and
that having few persons of fausily among them,
strangers of birth must be greatly re►pected, and
of course easily obtain the best of those offices
which will make all their fortunes; that the go.
vernmeuts, too, to encourage emigrations from
Europe ; not only pay the expense of personal
transportation, but give lauds gratis to strangers
with negroes to work for them. utensils of husban-
dry. and stocks of cattle. These are all wild ima-
ginations; and those whop go to America with ex-
pectations fouuded on them, will surely Slud them-
selves disappointed.
The truth is, that though there are in that coun-
try few people so miserable as the poor of Europe,
there are also very few that in Europe woul►l be
called rich ; it is rather • general happy ineiliocri-
ty that prevails. There are few great proprieteks of
the soil and few tenants ; most people cultivate
their own lands, or follow some ha►►dicraft, or mer-
chandise; very few rich enough to live idly upon
their rents or incomes, or to pay the high prices
given in Europe for paintings. statues, and the
other works of art. that are more curious that, use•
fol. Hence the natural geniu►es dolt have arisen
iu America with such talents lave universally qiiit.
ted that country for Europe, where they can be
more suitably rewarded.
It is true that letters and mathematical know
ledge are in esteem there, but they life et the same
time more common than is apprehended ; there be-
ing already existing tune colleges or universities.
vii. four u► New Eloglaird. and one in each of the
provinces of New York. New Jersey. I'eonylva•
Ma. Maryland, and Virginia, all furnished with
learned professors; besides a number of smaller
academies.

These educate many of thei► path in the lan-
gusges, and those sciences that qualify oleo for the
professions of divinity, law, or physic. Strangers
are indeed by no means excluded from exercising
those profession•. and the quick increase of itihabi-
twits every a here gives then' chance of employ,
which they have in common with the natives.
Or civil ofbce• or employments there are few ;
is° superfluous ones as in Europe; and it is •
rule established in some of the States, that un of-
fice should be ►o profitable as to snake it desirable.
The J6th article of the cusistitutiois of
I-
rani• runs expressly in these words :

4` As every freeinau tu preserve his independence (if he
has Hui a sufficient estate), ought to have some prairasion,
gallium, trade, or farm, whereby 11a cosy honestly subsist,
there can Mau necessity fur. nor use in esiahliebiug utlices
of profit; the usual effects of which are, depeudance and
servility %%abet-outing Ureters, in the poasessurs sad expect-
tuts ; faction, couteution, corruption, sod disorder, ainoug
the peupk. Wherefore, wherever au office, through in-
crease of fete or otherwise, het:inure su profitahle as to or.
easiwa waxily tu apply for it, the profits ought to be lessened
by the Legislature"

These ideas prevailing more or less in all the
United States, it cannot be worth any man's while,
who has the mosak of living at home, to espetri...o
himself in hopes of obtaining a profitable civil office
in America. Much less is it advisable fur a person
to go there. who has no oilier quality to recommend
him but his birth. Ito Europe, indeed, it has its
value; but it is a commodity that cannot be earned
to a atone market thou that of America, where
people do not inquire concerning • stranger. who is
he? bat. what can he do If he has any useful art
lie is welcome, and if he exercises it and behaves
,well, he will he respected by all that know him ;
but a were man of quality, who, upon that account,
wauts to live upon the public by some office or
salary, will be despised and disregarded.

NEITRY ADDRESS TO MR. GRANT.
An Adores bus been toted to Mr. Grant by the
Inhabitants of Nevity. We are glad to find that
it does not come from any particular religious de-
nomination. •
The Petitions &pima the Window Tax are in
preparation from Newry. cylow, and Limerick.
Belfast has already agreed to one—and, generally,
the Parishes of Dublin have adopted similar Reso-
lutions.

MEETING OF PAROCHIAL DEPUTIES,
An Assembly of the Deputies from such of the
Parishes as have already held Meetings ors the sub-
ject of the Window Tax, took place to St. Mary's
Vestry-rcons. on Friday.
It was resolved that a General Petition from the
Chien' of Dublin will be the most eligible mode
of approaching Parliament on this important guts-
Lion.
The other Parishes will meet forthwith.
COUNTRY MEETINGS.
The Mayor of Limerick having declined to con-
vene the Citizens. at the request of the preient
Quarter Sessions Grand Jury, " to take into cot:-
indention the ruinous and fatal consequences of
the Wiud"w Tax, and to adopt the most efficient
mea•ures fur iis total reptal ;" the Jury 'hate ad-
dressed their Fellow-Citizens. "requesting a Meet•
ing on the 13th instant, in order to take into con-
sideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament
fur a Repeal of the IVinclow Tex."
CORPORATION OF DROGHEDA.

strange proof of Corporate fully we have witnessed,
strikes ns with surprise. The Corporation of
Drogheda have, in a PANIC, admitted, at their
General Assembly, last week, a Rom' of Strangers
and Non-Residents, to the Freedom of Drogheda.
But this is not ell—we are informed that they hate
also beers considering • projr ct for adrditting to the
Freedom of Drogheda ea *ease ALL, or the 1. r later
sombre of the Freemen of Maim ; and this to
staid against the possibility of a new Election, in
the event of Mr. Wallace not being seated on
his Petition : thus sacrificing their own Corporate
Power sad Privileges, fur the mere purpose of
overbearing and beating down by numbers the
growing strength of their Townsmen the Catholic
Freeholders! We are not yet fully informed sit
t' is subject. as we understand the Meetings of the
Assembly ore secret ; but we shall endeavour to
form ourselves before the neat post on this curious
subject—too curious and important, certainly, to be
passed its silence by us !
