starving peasantry. Forgetful of every principle of

unnateral state of society in•this unhappy eoentry,
reduced to a state of almost onlrersal bankruptcy....
Commerce and trade is almost completely at a stand;
the labourer and artisan ere therefore reduced to the
most abject misery and poverty. In addition to lbw
many calamities which it has pleased Providence
to visit us with, we have been threatened for years
back with. famine and pestilence, in consequence
of the unwholesome food which oar poor peasantry
were compelled to make use of, made rapid strides
towards reducing this beautiful island to one immense
hospital. All the ingenuity and indefatigable es.
ertions of our hemline and truly learned Physicians,
has not been available to prevent its takiog deep root
in the country. And notwithstanding this *teem's..
lion of misery which we have jest hastily sketched,
such is the cruelty of rulers, that they refused pre.
venting the unnecessary consumption of human food
when applied to for the purpose, and now though they
still perceive the overwhelming advances making h?
the contagion which has been increased by their los.
they refuse to comply with the just demand
of six millions of suffering Irishmen. We hope and
expect our Countrymen will do their duty, as on it
depends whether we shall again be able to walk the
streets withoutepprehension, or being shocked. with

sufferings and misery of oar fellow-creatures—or this
