distressed population in Ireland and the Highlands of Scot-

"Queen's Letter to his Grace the Archbishop:of Canterbury
for a collection in aid of tke subscriptions entered into for
the relief of a large portion of the population in Ireland
and in some districts of Scotland.
" Victoria R.,

" Most Reverend Father in God, our right trusty and right
entirely beloved councillor, we greet you well. Whereas a
large portion of the population of Ireland, and in some dis-
tricts of Scotland, is suffering severe distress, owing to the
failure of the ordinary supplies of rood ; and whereas many
of our subjects have entered into voluntary subscriptions
for their relief, and have at the same time humbly prayed us
to issue our royal letters, directed to the Lord Archbishop of
Canterbury and the Lord Archbishop of York, authorising
them to promote contributions within their respective pro-
vinces for the same benevolent purpose ; •
" We, taking the premises into our royal consideration, and
being always ready to give the best encouragement and coun-
tenance to such humane and charitable undertakings, are
graciously pleased to condescend to their request, and we do
hereby direct that these our letters be by you communicated
to the several suffragan bishops within your province, ex-
pressly requiring them to take care that publication be made
hereof on such Sunday in the present or the ensuing month,
and in such places within the respective dioceses as the said
bishops shall appoint; and that upon this occasion the mi-
nisters in each parish do effectually excite their parishioners
to a liberal contribution, which shall be collected the week
following at their respective devellings, by the chuchwardens
and overseers of the poor in each parish ; and the ministers of
the several parishes are to cause the sums so collected to be
paid immediately into the hands of the Bank of England, to
be accounted for by them, and applied to the carrying on and
promoting the above-mentioned good designs.
" And so we bid your very heartily farewell.
" Given at our Court at St. James's, the thirteenth day of
January, 1817, lithe tenth year of our reign.
"By her Majesty's command,
" G. GREY.

" To the most Reverend Father in God, our right trusty
and right entirely beloved councillor, William Lord Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, Primate of all England and Metro-
politan."
