ings throughout the whole country, and
their proceedings are bold and violent

sis. The government are alarmed, and a,e

glish to Ireland, and bringing the Irish 10

on hand, and the consumption of MANY ar
ticles decreases crops of grain have
been very abundant, and well secured -
therefore, they will not want any supplies
from America at high prices"
