A NEW IRISH PAPER;

INT IT ULED
" 'FIX CONSTITUTIONALIST, on., CORK MORN•

ING POST."
TO THE PUBLIC.
AT the urgent requisition of numerous and
zealous Friends, and also, in deference to the strong
sense of the necessity for such an undertaking which exists,
tbwArins and SAVAGE have adopted the resolution of en-
gging in the establishment of a PUBLIC JOURNAL, and have
Advanced a considerable way in the most extensive arrange-
Ments for the handsome and effective execution of this design,
The Journal which they hope in a short time to present to the
Public favour will be established upon one simple founda-
tion, equally dear and interesting, and that iS—THE MAIN.
TWINING OF THE GENUINE AND VITAL PRINCIPLES OF
°UR GLORIOUS CONSTITUTION, AS ESTABLISHED
Ix CHURCH AND STATE. This brief exposition of the
Mother principle upon which their undertaking rests, the Pro-
prietors humbly conceive is sufficient to recommend it to every
real Friend to true Civil Liberty. For no thinking man can
ridstake the character of the present times—can view with dis-
regard the drift of those desperate theories which are pressing
with the full force of their hostility and power against those
Institutions which should be held by the British race amongst
things the most sacred; because, it is within those Institutions
that the spirit of British Freedom is enshrined and preserved,
--and because, it is owing to those, and to the immeasurable
energies of which they form the salient spring of supply, that
we are indebted for the immortal triumph obtained over that
tawdry despotism, which was the offspring of the French Revo-
lution ; and to the same source also is Europe indebted for its
redemption from an afflicting and a grinding military vassal.
age. By means of those Institutions, as the fountain-head of
our national power just such as they have been handed down
to the living generations, UNCHANGED by metaphysical ex-
periment, and UNSACRIFICED to abstract projects about go.
Ternment,—the noblest and the grandest ends have been ob-
tained : the Confederation of a hostile world has been defeated
and crumbled at one time,—at another, the languishing Na-
tions of Europe have been refreshed, their fears converted to
Aeurage, and their despair to hope ; and, during . the mighty
tentest, in which the powers of the British Empire were un-
"riled in such awful virtue and splendour, the enslaved mind
Avery where was taught to pant for disenthralment,—and to
a 1 Nations, Communities and Sects, something of a generous
desire was imparted for that Liberty which for so long a time
has been the happy enjoyment of the genuine Sons of the
English Constitution !
For obligations of such paramount value, and for results so
splendid and illustrious, much is due to the jealous anxiety with
Which the principles of Constitution have been guarded by
the manly reason and spirit of the Empire—much to the reverential
zeal with which our Civil and Religious Institutions have been
Protected against the inroads of spurious and profligate theories,
and of those blasphemous experiments that have covered with
cranes so many other Nations and States ; and a vast portion
those able and honest men who presided over the destinies of
the Empire. The spirit which served to resist those awful en-
croachments upon the national welfare is the offspring of that
so,sher thought that still directs and influences the course of
-uritish Public Opinion, even when its counsels are unheard
and its operations unseen amid the occasional uproar created
by popular infatuation. To act auxiliary to this spirit—to sup-
Port it, and to nourish it by all the means which truth and
reason abundantly supply, is at least a generous and an ho-
nourable task ; and it is one, which the loyal and enlightened
°,l' every description, it is to be hoped, will not grow weary of
coeenng in the execution. To them the Proprietors of THE
~
,t4-)NSTITUTIONALIST; or, CORK MORNING POST,
took with honest confidence, in die attempt which they are coin-
lhencina•
The Proprietors intentionally avoid resorting to those prefa-
tory recommendations which generally usher in the publication
of new Journals—the Public have long had an opportunity of
"etermining concerning their characters, and to this they ap-
Pe-al.—They trust it will entitle them to public confidence when
they affirm, that the CONSTITUTIONALIST, on, CORK.
MORNING POST, will be published with sound and honest
Pretensions to the public favour—that no expense or trouble
0%11 be wanting to render it a handsome example of typogra-
lglical industry—that they have formed the most efficient con-
nexions for procuring the EARLIEST and the most AUTHEN-
iC intelligence—that they have engaged able and experienced
terary support—that the most rigid impartiality shall be ad-
hered to, in the reporting of the Debates in Parliament—in re-
tording the public occurrences, and all other matters and cir-
cll. Instances, whether political or otherwise. To those essen-
tiol, elementary duties, in the conducting of a Public Journal,
the Proprietors pledge themselves to add a continued, anxious,
44(0, diligent attention to the Commercial, Agricultural, and
mranufacturing interests of their Country—an industrious re-
Rani to all Judiciary and Magisterial proceedings in this City,
,4nd to all other matters of what' may be deemed local inte-
'est. It is in truth the earnest purpose of the Proprietors of
the CONSTITUTIONALIST, to deserve the favour and
confidence which have invited and encouraged them to the Pe-
riodical Press ; and it will constitute their most ambitious re-
Vital, if the Patrons who have called them to their new post
all be satisfied.
To the busy orders of life, and to advertising friends of all
"Ascriptions, the CONSTITUTIONALIST will hold out
more inducements than can be specified in this place, as from
the encouragement already received, and the extensive circu-
lation which the Proprietors anticipate upon the surest grounds,
too greatest publicity will be afforded to WANTS and DE-
IIt`ES, not only in this Province and Ireland in general, but
la the Sister Kingdom.
The Proprietors hope their Journal will afford some excite-
.l,llent to that mass of talent which they are convinced slumbers
ttt comparative rest in this City and County, and they trust they
!hall succeed in inviting some share of its exertions to the
'Paie which shall be always reserved for Literary contributors.
oflt may not be out of place to remark, that the present mode
dispatching his Majesty's Mails for the South of Ireland,
live
i.asdsposed the Proprietors to select a Morning instead of an
lung Publication ; as by that plan, though at no small in-
Teasel to their labours, they will be enabled to give both their
3wn and Country Subscribers the most recent intelligence, atth e
usual charge for Newspapers in this City.
_
soliefting from the Public a generous share of their pa-
t'onage, E. and S. have again to add that their warmest en-
7erours shall be used in inculcating LOYALTY TQ THE SO-
% REIGN—SUBJECTION TO THE LAWS, AND VENERA-
TION- FOR THAT GOVERNMENT UNDER WHICH WE
