I n”:cif ac H tle qnalified as intawr Lordtbip
reprekuts youtteil to be, to tiiicufs with a.• pctfotis

to whom you refer me the points ton. mention. I
can only fay, that the impreffion made on the minds
of thofe of the lower orders, certainly does not cor-
refpond with the doarinis which your Lordthip re-
prefers!a to be the doctrines of the religion yon prefers.
I have no doubt that your Lordfhip heartily and con-
fcientioiltly embraces and nits uprin thofe dOrines ;
the whole tenor of your life thews that you have done
fo ; but the whole tenor of the condo., of the lower
order! of the people of the Romifh perfitafion thews
that loch doBrines are not ethrtif? taught to them ;
and if I am to judge from the writings, as well'as the
conduit, of tome of the higher orders of the laity as
well as of the clergy. I cannot believe that they are
thoroughly impreffed with the feelings which appear
to guide your Lordfhip's liberal and beneficent mind.
On the contrary, in many inftances it arrears to me,
that the conduit of tome high among the priefthood,
is calculated to excite in the minds of thofe under
their care, hatred to their Proteftant fellow.fubjeas,
and dilloyalty to their Government. I am atfured,
from very high and very refpoltatile authority, that
(at leaft in one diftrift) the Priefts who were inftru-
mental in faring the lives of the loyalifts in the late
rebellion, are univerfally difcountenanced by their
Superior • : and that a Prieft proved to have been
guilty of fandlioning the murderers in 1798, tranl
sorted to Botany Bay, and fince pardoned by the
mercy of Government, has been brought back in

the law he calls HIS jartjb, and there placed as a
martyr, in a manner he atoll infulting to the feel.
inks of the Proteflants. to the jufticoof the country,
and to that Government to whore lenity be owes
his redemption from the punifhmcnt due to his
critnes _ _ _

It is ftrringly reported, that the fucceffor to Dr.
Hossyr (whole difaffeelion was fo mauifeft, that
perhaps Government confulted its difpolition to le.
nity much more than its duty, when it permitted him
to return to Ireland) is to be a man alto notorioully
difaffeeed. If the appointment is to be made in the
dual manner, at the recommendation of the higher
order of your Clergy, I cannot think that much of
loyalty is to be expeeted from thole who recommend
ed filch a man*. If the authority of the See of Rome
loperfedes the ordinary recommendation, it mull be
reconciled that that authority is now Di the hands of
France ; indeed, it cannot be forgotten,. that your
whole Pricithond acknowledge obedience to one
who is the vafal of France, who erifts as a temporal
Prince at leaft only by the permiflion of France, the
'avowed enemy of the Government under whits we
live I under filch circumßances, it cannot be lice
ed, that any &NA and confcientioos means have
been or will be taken by the Priefts of the Roma
perfuallon, to make the lower orders of the people,
compofing their congregations, loyal fubjebs of the
Prnteftant Government of this country.

) Lords and Gentlemen—The prefent mild ad-
minitiration of his Majeay's Government in Ireland,
having grueiondy recalled MC from a painful and
hurniliaiing exile, to liberty in my native country, I
avail myfelf of the codicil opportunity to &licit your
ottention, while I endeavour, by a plain fiatement, to
remove from your minds that odium' which mike-
prefouation and obloquy have long excited again*
me; and which, unreformed, malt render my exit-
ante here equally painful to you and to snyfelf.—
Were this obloquy and mifreprefentation confined in
its dices to my own individual perfon, however de-
rivable the reinaatement in your good opinion
be, I &auld hardly prefume -to intrude upon you ;
but my charatet ideas, in Come degree, that of the
body to which I have the honour to belong ; it inte-
rval; the reputation of many refpedable perfons who
have humanely interfered in my behalf; and what is
*ill of far greater importance. it may poffibly intereft
the reputation of his Majefly's Government in Ire-
land, which, with diferiminating impartiality, bath
looked down upon me, enveloped as I was in a miff
of calumny; bath *retched forth a parental band to
releafe me from impriiimment, to break say chains,
and to expunge the holly fentence which configned
me for a time to fbame and (offering. I (hall be
particularly careful while you condefcend to indulge
me with a hearing, to confine myfelf to what is abfo-
lutely necenry for my exculpation. To exprefs, or
even to harbour refeatment, would ill become me at'

any time. but particularly now. I forgive from my
foul every injury I have received, and every perfon
concerned in inflieing it ; not only religion requires
this at my bands, but common fence and plaice.
When I was arreited and punithed, it was. doubt-
lefs, in the luppolition that I was deeply engaged in

dom at that diiireffing period. To have been pointed

the precipitancy of the proceedings which then af-
flifled me. Had I been favoured with a regular
trial, or even a calm investigation, the error would
have been difcnvered, and my misfortunes would
have been obviated ; but though the sneafures were

that I never figned the death-warrant of any teem ;

my cafe. Immediately upon my arm*, I was
brought into Youghal. where. without any previous
trial. I was confined io a loathforne receptacle of the
Barrack. called the Black Hole, rendered tiiii moll
offenfive by the Reach of the common neeelltry ad-
joining it. In that dungeon I remained from Friday
until Monday, when I was condaded to the Ball.alley
to receive my parlament. No trial had yet 'star-
vened. nor ever after.—l was dripped and tied up;
fix foldiers flood forth for this operation ; tome of •

and relieved at intervals, until I bad received two
hundred and feventy five lathes Co vigoronay end fo
deeply hailed, that my back and the points of my
[boulders were quite bared of the Rear. _ _ _

At that moment, a letter was banded to the of-
ficer prefiding. written, I tinderfiand. in my favour
by the late Hon. Capt. O'Barss, of Rofiellan. It
happily interrupted my puniarrnent. But I had not
hitherto fhaken the triangle ; a difplay of *feeling
which it kerns was eagerly expeded from me. To
accelerate that rpeiltacle, a Wire Cat was introduced.
armed with (craps of tin or lead. (I judge from the
effed, and lions the defcription given me:) What-
ever were its appendages, I cannot eafily forget the
power of it. In defiance of flame, my waillhand was
cut for the finning firokes of this lacerating infirn-
mem. The very fira lath, as it renewed all my pangs,
and (het convulfive agony through my entire frame.
made me (hake the triangle indeed. A feennd
flilion of it, penetrated my loins, and tore them ex-
cruciatingly : the third maintained the tremulous ex-
hibition long enough—the fpedators were fatisfied.
I thould fpare you, my Lords and Gentlemen, the
difgufling minutenefs of this la& detail, but it will
be found materially conneaed with a moll dreadful
charge which appeals upon the minute of a court
of inquiry, held to inveltigate my cafe the year fol-
lwing in Youghal, tinder Gen. GRAHAM. by order
or the Marquis CortswAttis. Before this Court I
was not brought ; nor Any friend of mine fnmmoned
thither to (peak for me. It was even a fubjed of
female remark in the peifon-fliip, that while I lined
there among the fail.ws, my trial, as they termed it.
was going on in Yougbal. With the proceedings of
that Court I am to this day unacquamted. It was
ordered I know, in ermfequence ef a memorial upon
my firuation, banded to a dillingnilhed Nobleman.
and by him prefented at the Cattle ; I was nut con.
fulted with regard to its contents. Unfortunately
for me, it was penned with more seal than accuracy ;
letting forth, among other hardasim that after my
punithment, Ihad been left without medical aflame,
(on the report. I prefume of a fitter iu.law, who
vit:ted me within the interval between the whipping
and apothecary's arrival) ; it further !rated that I
had been whipt and thrown into a Juni/tog; intlead

thrown into • dungeon and whipt. This inverfiow

that he would allow me but two minutes to deter-

of raper, while the &mind fwore terribly at the fame
time, that he would blow my brains out if I perlia-
ed longer in my refund. Under this impletfitm I
fcribbled a note to my brother, which they mftantly
cried out was what they wanted ; :he lirecife expref-
lions of it, I do not at this moment recollea : it pur-

heard the fentinel fay, that during my entire pundit-

paper I had OR written would alturediy hang me.—
I exclaimed that their dreadful threats had compel-
led me to write it; which exclamation being carried
to the Officer, be returned the next day : he called
me to the gaol window commanding a view of a
gallows, whereon two men were hanging ; their bo-
dies fo liloody, that. I imagined they were red jack-
ets. A third halter remained yet unoccopi-d. which
he declared was intended for me, fboull I pet RR in
difclaiming the aforefaid note. " Look, Aid he, at
the& men, look at that rope, your treatment than
be worfe than theirs, if you difown what yon wrote
yeflerday ?' adding that it was Rill in my power to
get fret. I imagined from this, that he wanted
money from me ; or a favorite mare which I bad oc-
cafionally lent him. My anfwer was, if jou liberate
me you Dull alwayf find me faithful; there is no
thing in my power that I will nut do. Do not then
attempt, Paid be, to exculpate yonrfelf, and fo re-
tired. I now procured paper, whereon I wrote a
formal proteß.againft what he extorted from me as
above; that, timid I be executed, this prota might
appear after my death. I wrote a fecund, with the
fame de:ratchet I left them both after me in the
gaol ; a nfive, that thonld they be found in my
polleffioni they might cede me to be treated with
additional finerity. Neither did I afterwards, while
'n gaol, openly affect my innocence for that reafon.
Now, fo little &edit forms to have been attached to

might heisting enough to forge a fimilar declira-

Ardent creation, very 'trivial in it felf, but which,-as it
gave rife to a rn,:it injurious mifieprefentation, I
feel myfelf bound to notice. Six or foot of Dolor
Coppinger's Clergy had been engaged to dine with
him on the following day: he was p!eafed to afk me
to ininthem ; which, having done, I was fince. in ad-
dition to my other croffe,, extremely mortified to
learn, that this plain private repaß was magtiii," in -
to a molt fumptuous banqoet, given hratunr of
Mr. O'Neil's return. This glaring t
utill..tement,
which of irfelf would not have affected my Orditi try,
has been the caufe of milzh uncafinels fine: ; as
feemingly conflated with an iiititilation from a ie-
fpatable charafter in Dublin, informing him that a
perfonage in that Metrop lie of high rank, and rico
power, miffed by this fable intelligence, had com-
plained that Doßor Coppinger reflored me to my
parilb, as a Martyr in ttiumph ; with infult to the
offended juflice of the laws, Sec. Ste.
I am neither commillioued nor qttalified to vindi-
cate the charaeer of Dollar Coppinger, in this or in
any other particular : I can only exprefs my farrow
at having been thus the unintentional cattle of this
painful imputation. His thatailer, wherever it is
known, will be its own Support; little does it Rand
in need of adventitious aid, much lcfs of that which
my poor depreciated fuffrage- can admininer. He
has, I learn, drawn up a narrative, which fuch mif.
reprefentation, if long continued, will call upon him
to publifh.
I have now, my Lards and Gentlemen, to apolo-
ise for the tedious length of this elucidation, which
humbly fubmit to you, in the hope that I am not
now in your mind the fort of perfon you hive been
taught to confider me. I will alto hope that the ur-
gency of my cafe will effeenally plead in excufe for
my prefnmption in thus publicly addreffing you; a
liberty I (ball never again, upon any account, &Guts.
