Dublin, In Aggregate Mekine usscmhled, beg leave, with all
hutuillty, to approach your Majesty's Throne, with repeated
assurames of that zeal aad attachment that have ever actuated
us towards your Majesty's most .gracious Person, and every
branch of your Illir:trions tainily, most humbly intreatieg
your Majesty's.acCustorled regard and attention towards us, in
coontriott with the rest of your Majesty's subjects.
• Anxious as we have ever been to contribute every thing in
our power to the kippiwt ofyourMAjesty's Crown and dignity,
to the Protection of eitr country against foreign as well as do-
mestic enemies, we ennead withhOld expressing our grief and
surprise, when, instead of being 'toootry nourishing and in
prosperity, As has been represented to your Majesty and Par-
liament, oar trade? commerce, and manufactures are at au ebb
lower than has ever *en remembered; credit and public con-
fidence nearly annihilated, as instanced by the numerous bank-
ruptcies daily accruing, to an alarming talent, heretofore la*.
known.

We regret. that at this fleriorl your Majesty's Petitioners
should, its common with the rest of their Irish fellow-subjects,
have been burthened with a weight of taxes, oppressive in their
nature, and grievous to ail, more especially to the trader and
manufacturer ; and we have to complain, that these oppressive
taxes were introduced at the clusi of the last Sessions
s. ithont any previuus intimation given to our Representatives in
Parliamtat, and without *dee regard to the real and substantial
interests of Ireland. .

That your Petitioners, with all humility, beg leave to ex-
press to your Majesty their strong conviction, that the prospe-
rity, happiness,•and peace of Ireland (which areso intimately
connected with those of Great Britain), can only be obtained
by having a resident Parliament, who alone would be capable
of knoWitig the real wants of this country, and of adwinister-
ing to its necessities pritinpt and efficacious relief. •
We, therefore, intreat your Majesty to take tho distresses and
misfortunes under which this part of your Majesty's dominions
DOW labour into your most graelouscoosideration.
Sire, we are the more imperiously called on, at this critical
period, to make these our most earnest supplications, from dye
regard and veneration for your Majesty, and our anxiety for.
the succession and prosperity df your royal Rouse ; as we
would deprecate nothing so much as an alienation of the afec-
tioos of your hlajesty'ssubjects from youx parson, family, and
government. We, therefore, humbly implore your Majesty's
gracious attention titthis our Petition ; and that you will be
pleased to direct your Majesty's Ministers to have an Act pre-
pared against the (pectin of Parliament for the Repeal of the
Act of Union, so that a Parliament may bescalled in Ireland to
co-operate with your Majesty, in devising andwrying into ef-
fect those measures which shallappear best calculated for. the,
permanent prosperity of Ireland. •
And your Petitioneni will ever pray.
