The petition of the Roman C,-holics of Ire
land, 1T feems has been in difcufi IN before the
Parliament of Great Britain, and "there is rea-
Ton to tuppofe (adds the newf-paper) that it will
Terminate unfucctEfully for the D. tition."

more link of that endlcfs chain of corruption
and 'mpodcy, which has been forged and rvet-
fed upon the nation by their boaGed confftu,i
