IRELAND. =,
The late partial repeal Of the Union
duties has had so beneficial an effect on
the trade between England and Ireland,
that the leading members of the Irish
commercial interest, to the number of
500, have signed a memorial to the
Lords of the Treasury, praying that
whole may be repealed, and that the
intercourse between the two divisions
ofthe United Kingdoms may be placed
on the footing OF coaating trade.
tits stated, on the authority of letters
from Cadiz, that the trade of that once
fourshing city is reduced absolutely
to nothing from the other
seaports present The same melancholy
blank; and it is under these circum-
stances that he Ministry, despairing Of
meeting thesrgent wants of the State
by means Of loans, have had frequent
discussions as to the propriety of trying
the effects of a forced contribution, to be
levied. without distinction, on the Mo-
bili,y. Clergy, and Merchants. The a.
mount of pecuniary relief to be expect
ed from the commercial body may be
pretty clearly anticipated from the pic
! ture just given Of their situation and
as to the Clergy, when the plan was
laid before them, they are said to- hare
expressed their utter incapacity, n.iti-
gated, however, by protestations- VI
great zeal, to furnish any aid that would
be at all equal to the emergency. The
sentiments of the Mobility, could they
be ascertained, would not, in all pre-
liability, prove more patriotic. The
anxiety manifested BY the Ministers to
resign, or at the difficulty to find per-
sons of the least responsibility to re-
place thems is not surprising This is
! the first consequence Of the counter re-
volution the system which has sprung
out of ithas made the State bankrupt
| without any prospect, either immedi-
ale or remote, of emerging its insolv-
ency. Yet the government is busily
occupied with the Reorganization of the
army, whichis 10 be raised to 10000
