but I was then unacquainted with the pride of the great and the
Irifery of the people. I conceived that benevolence w.:a their
chlrader, and that they cshiNted !inducts and indulgence to the
other clans.; that all its their reipeeltive remakes* enjoyed happi-
ne s, and p;rtkipated equally In the advantages of a free cad'.
union ; and that while the one was luxurious, the other was coos
tent. But I was grofsly deceived. The man who has an income
of only 100 l a year pays 31. to the State ; and the man who has
40,c00l gives only aoool. So that the one has 951. left, and the other
38,0001 !!! Ye tif the man worth 931. mentions his poverty and
the wretchednefs of his half Rarving children, the man of 40,c001.
will tell him that he nould m t :ramble on that account, and that

no attention to the cries and tears of his family. In &art, there is'
no eonfideration of the poor matt, who is regarded as the property
of the rich, born for the visit of employments, and deftined by
nature to he a (Love. You will not be furprized to leans, that the
parode which \drainers and their creatures make oldie zeal which
imitators all claffes in the common eaufe, and thtk determined re-
folution to march againft the enemy, is nothing more than mere
oftemation. The fpirit of the Coantry, at the general call upon
it, has not yet manifefted Idctf ; but, tinkle I am deceived, when
it don manifclt ittelf, it will be not 10 aid, but to refift the Go-
vernment.

" The Army of Referee, and the Levy in Mafa, are not to
aft. according to law, until they receive a fecund (mutant. It
is then we dull be ambled to judge how far this plan will be
predicable; and how it will accord with the fentimenta of the
Nation.

" In Ireland, the people are ripe for revolt ; their grievances
urge them to this drc.ulful enterprise. Thefe grievances have
been amply detailed in a late pubhcatian, written by Mr. Never
holm, a Member of the lett kith Parliament, and they have been
recently tli;cuffed in Parliament by Colonel Ilutehinfun. Thofe
two Perfousges, with a manly firmi.efs, which does them the
higheft honour, have implored the Adminiltration to redrefs their
grierances, and pointed nut the means. Give the frifh,' (aid
th, y, what you foletnnly promifed them before the Union—that
which contributed to the accomplifhment of the Union. Give
them freedom, and you will find them the belt fuhkets under his
NlA:idly. But if you do not, inturredlion will follow infurreditio,
until the whole Empire is chat( nto its very balls.' No attention,
however, has been paid to this honourable appeal, this awful warn-
ing ; and notwithttanding the deftsuil ion with which we are me-
naced by an eternal enemy, the . . . abfolutely refutes to
evert internal convulGon by yiekling to what Minilters had pro-
'anted to perform. A fatality attends us ; Goo only knows how
lung this win laft.

I can (y little to you of the affairs of India. The hoftlle aps
pcarances in that part of the world have corifiderahly elepriffed the
Funds, and as-far as I can leapt, the Court of Dircetors are very
much d (Unified with Lord Welleflcy. Should the good fortune
of his Lordfhip ever abandon him &mid he exicrience the flight-
ed check, be will fall from his kat of fplendour, never more to rife.
I can confidently alfure you, that the flighteft failure in the
molt in figuificant enterp. ire will be (WC:lent to di Itroy his popu-

that it Is apprehended, that the large force which he is colkaing
in Italy, is deltined fur that emintry. If thife kart are well found-
