" done en this side of the water, the Lord Lieutenant
" bad sow the additional sum of 100,0001. which accord-

" ployment of the poor, bat which, where there were no
" means of employing them, would be applied to their

have been a crown a posed io London before esCa-
tholic priest in Ireland should have been called arm
to prepare his parishioners for death from starvation.
But what a horrible reflection that the people of only
two or three counties in Ireland should be suffered
to be in this state. If Herefordshire, Gloucestershire
and Monmouthshire were even approaching *itch
a atatr, would Kent or Norfolk, or in abort,
any other county, enjoy, we will not say a no-
ruent's happiness, bat a moment's peace, until the dis-
tressed counties were as well off as themselves? Where

at; where are all the landlords and all the clergy of

in London ! One thing it is necessary alwsyel Wise
in mind; and that is, that Ireland has not bees go-
verned by jacohies and radicals. Let what may leave
been the cause of these calamities, we, the jecobies and
radical'', have bad no band in producing them, to
which we have only to add, show ns, loyal tnen.if
can, that jecobins and radicals could have prodoced a
worse state of things. Mr. WiLeenvonce ssitlittat,
whatever money was wanted on this occasion, ought to
be gives. Mama SUMneit thought an address to the
'Crown was the proper measure, authorising any
expenditure that might be necessary.—We, fee our
parts, are for relieviag the people, cost what it may.
But, at the same time, pray let ns make this observe-
lion. .Nosey, it seems, is wanted in Ireland. Now
people do not eat money. No, but the moo" will
buy them something to eat. What, then, Me fled is
Meet then, it scrum! Pray observe this reader. Pray
ob hie, and let the parties get out of the concern
if they can. THE FOOD IS THERE ; but those
that have it in their po 'on will not give it with-
out the mot.ey! And we know that the food Is there.;
hot since this famine has been declared in Parlianteot,
thonsande fl quarter* of corn have been i.uported
week from Ireland into England ! It is the
gooney, than, that the poor creatures want, anti that
they cannot have eveept a part ut that is restored
which has hien taken away from them in tax a. To

this point we always come at last; betels she imam-
Cate mane of all the evils that arniet the country.--
In going downward, we next find the debt and elm
coasequences of the war and at the bottom we find
the root of the 'bob, the mast of a reel Reform in
the Commons Roue of Parliament. The evil is rash
eal that is to toy belonging to the root; sad the cure
must be radical or t►ere can be no core at all. Ws
have never yet beard what are the means to make
this starvation cease; and we me firmly convinced
that it *ill' not cease with this season nor with next
nor wit► any season Emit the interest of the
Debt be reduced, and the taxation lowered. There
is so scarcity except scarcity of mosey, amongst those
who labour. To talk, therefore, of sending seed po-
tatoes, and to amuse ourselves with other expedients,
see► as are put forth by the stupid press of Luadon
can only serve to push things ea to a state, to get out
of which there is only one way.
The proceedings of lest night were of very greet
lateral; but we have not room for them until Mon-
day. The Ministers were bard pushed upon the ques-
tion of the Salt Duty; and we hope, rather more than
we believe, that that branch of tsx•gatheriog will be
yet completely taken Oct of their bands.

It is calculated from the nature of the busiaess still
before Parliament that the Session cannot terminate
before the 6rn week in August.
Ten Ktro's Scums* Escoanrons.—After Fes riv-
ing, and Meatier, and re-resolving and revolving,
the Royal Visit to Scotland, it seems, Is inde6oitely
postponed. The followiog paragraph on this subject
appeared is the Courier of last night
We made yesterday, from the Scotch papers, se-
veral extracts, from which it would appear that his
Majesty intended to honour Scotland with a visit this
summer. The intelligence is incorrect. We have
jest been informed, that his Majesty „•ill sot proceed
to Seotlaotthis summer, aor will his Majesty visit the
Costineat."

In the same style speaks the Drigition Herald of
this morning:
We are enabled most positively to state, that his
Majesty will not go to Scotland this year.—lt was CPI,

last, to nodertake the joarney bat ow Monday his

Dublin, August 9.
DEAN Loan Noanuftv,—l transcribe for you a very
sensible part of Lord Itosse's letter to me:—
" As Lord Norbury goes our circuit, and as he is per-
sonally acquainted with the gentlemen of our county, a
hint to him may be of oss—he is in the habit of talk-
ing individually to Otero in Lis chamber at Phitipetown,
and if he were to imreis upon them the consequence
of the meagre. viz. that however they may think other-
wise, the Catholics would, in spite cf them, el, et Catho-
lic membets (if such were eligible;) that the Catholic
members would then have the nomination of the She-
-41(5, and in many instances per%aps of the Judges, and
that the Protestants would be put in the back ground,
as the Catholics were formerly ; I think be would bring
the effect of the measure home to themselves, and satisfy
them that they could scarcely submit to live iu the
country if it were passed."
So far Lord Itosse; but what lie su4gests in another
part of his letter—
•• That Protestant Gentlemen who have votes, and in-
Aitence, and interest, would give these venal members to
understand, that if they will purchase Catholic vote*,
that by betraying their country and its constiti..ion they
shall infallibly lose theits, it would alter their conduct,
though it could neither make them honest or respect-
able. _ _

It you will ,judiciously administer a little of this medi-
cine to the King's County, or any other Merolwrs of
Parliament that may fall in your way, you will deserve
well.

care of it.

Ahoy thanks fur tour letter, and its good intelligence
from Mare Kuria. Jell) is a most valuable fellow•, and

Justice Bayley taking the vacant place on the Osford.
