ORIGIN OF THE IRISH ARISTOCRACY.—(By Lord
Chancellor Clare.)—His (Cromwell's) first act was to
collect all the native Irish who had survived the geiiieral
desolation and remained in the country, and to trans-
plant them into the province of Connaught, which had
been completely depopulated and laid waste in the pro-
gress of the rebellion. They were ordered to retire there
by a certain day., and forbidden to.repass the river Shan-
non en pain of death ; and this sentence of deportation
was rigidly enforced until the Restoration. Their adcient
possessions were seized and given up to the conquerors,
as were the possessions of every man who had taken part
in the rebellion, or followed the fortunes of the King after
the murder of Charles I. And this whole fund was dis-.
tributed among the officers and soldiers of Cromwell's
army, in sati.faction of the arrears of their pay, and ad-
venturers who had advanced money to defray the ex-
penses of the war. And thus a 'thew colony of settlers,
composed 4--7
of all the sects which then infested Englan.
Independents, Anabaptists. Seceders, Brownists, Soci-
nians, Millenarians, and Dissenters of every '.de-
scription, many of them infected with the leaven of
democracy—poured into Ireland, and went into posses-
sion of the ancient inheritance of its inhabitants ; and I
speak with great personal respect of the men, when I
state that a very consicl,:rnhle 'portion of the opid-n-t, a
poWer of the kiigdoin of Ireland centres at this day in
the descendants of the motley collection of English ad-
venturer& '
