The Statesman.
London, England, 1821-08-29 00:00:00

.eloquently transplanted Mat shamrock to his heart,
inhere it has been watered with the tears of Rural
gratitude in return for the wild overflowing' of a
generous-h-arted people: They saw their Monarch
realising in one enthusiastic hour the speculations of
their most admired statesmen, and their most Woe;
trions orators ; they saw the genius of firattan and
Curran embodied in the Royal act, and they bailed
the moment with a rapture of delight creditable to
the heads and hearts of a great community. But
when f/o• King goes—when the rays of Royal bene-
ficence are withdrawn—what light is doomed to take
their place? Nothing—nothing but the Sfolute
hook can preserve the present feelings of the Sove-
reign in Ireland. Were it nor good fortune that he
were always to remain with ns, we would sanguinely
anticipate the same delightful warmth we have en-
joyed for the last month. The demon of discord
would not dare to skulk abroad ; the lightning 3f the
Royal eyes would con ume him ere he retired to his
retreat, and the people's happiness would he firmly
established. lint this cannot be—the King cannot
remain—therefore the Statute Book should imme-
diately contain the spirit and example of that King.
• • • Ile cannot, it is true, le,4islate fur 1.. e.
land ; but he may discourage the spirit of discord
—be ran withdraw his countenance from those who
wonld perpetuate the rancour of party distinctions
—be can riumintend to the Impe,ial Legi.bit:tre
to carry into effect the Royal wishes, and to reduce
those principles to law which have now united tiie
entire people of our country. This, most excellent
Sire, you can 41o; and we hope do not presume
too much when we conclude by expressing our con-
viction, that there is nothing which the grateful and
generous heart of our King can do, to make perpetual
the present e bilious era, that will not bedone—to put
cn a firm, an immoveable basis, that temple of which it
remained to Ileorge the Fourth to be the founder.

At the meeting at Lisburn, belt' on the 11th inst.
to address the King on his arrival in Ireland, after the
address hail been moved and seconded,
JniiN IlaNynex remarked, that, unused as be was
to complimentary modes, and from long and deeply-
rooted habits, P rem (rum the unsubstantial stuff of
which addresses were made, yet, on the present occa-
sion he was not disposed to give a negative to it,
merely considered as a matter of compliment. He was
induced to act in this manner, as the prospect of the
King's arrival had produced at least a. temporary con-
ciliation between parties, where a feud had long been
injurious to the best interests of the country, and he
was inclined to attribt.te this highly desirable concili-
ation to the personal act of the King. Ile hoped. or
rather more correctly to express his feelings, he most
anxiously wished it might be permanent. Yet Ireland
bad not achieved this good, so far as it went, without
great stains of eharactei ; for the historian who shall
hereafter record the visit, must notice the silly osten-
tatious preparations, and the mistake that the pageant
of a day will confer substantial wealth on a nation ;
for, after the pageant passed away, Dublin was likely
to be more deserted and a blank nit had been be-
fore. To obtain favour in a quart-r, Ireland
had generally sacrificed the the Queen, and,
on a subject of infinitely mo
sequence, had de-
serted the cause, the all-import ause of reform.
