any effective amelioration of the Condition of any

Commons of the United Kingdom had been folly end'
faithfully represented in Parliament, as.they have .a
sight to be, according to the Constitution of
-the tountry, long 'ere this, the Catholics of
Ireland, as well as of England, must have bah
1 every cause of complaint removed. There can,
indeed, be no doubt that the best means of
`correcting every minor evil, would be to remedy
the present imperfect state of the national represen-
tation, by which all other evils are produced, aggra-.
voted, or prolonged. But the truth, however, is,
with respect to Ireland, that even of that imperfect
and inferior, that virtual (as it is called) representa-
tstion, which exists in the United Kingdom, it is not
Ineffered to partake. Ireland is, in every sense of
'the word, and beyond the reach of doubt or equivo-
i cation, an unrepresented country; it is deprived, in
i common with the whole 'Empire, of that
fsound,-
svholesome and effectual to which.
v representation,
j.the Constitution entitleb it ; and by the operation ofd
i the Penal Code,' it is further deprived of that spu-
, tieus and inefficient representation, which, such
Its it is, England and Scotland are still suffered

-1 tentatioii, if indeed it be not too chimerical and. vie

hahility which, some how or other, it affords, 4'

p led of want of discernment; of knowing more
of the minutite of arms and of men in the field of
Little, than of cabinets and of the workings of
men's minds, when they have time to reflect. Such
events as these cannot fail to afford instructive lessons
to matikiod. Ambition, which is only increased by
accession of dominion, .appears to have intoxicated

and actions by ordinary calculations. His defenders
may say that his remaining so long in Dresden,''
would have been exempt from censure, if he had
not been forsaken 1:i the moment of combat by so
many whole battaliontrand squadrons. As it is, the
tardily quitting that city brings to our mind his pro-,
traded stay in Moscow. his eye, as we have be..
fore observed, could not but fix itself often on his
garrisons of the Elbe: 6d its neighbourhood: His
