Americans know nothing Of Ireland or

been unjust. Dublin swarms with magn:t1-

being ranked with any In the world. Oi,he

There is j stsenation Of trade, aud a rever-

The exports Of this vast city, with q popull l.
to one and d half millions Of dollars annuall:.
For this there plust be n cause, and the ou1y
one apparent is the gross treatment Of Eng
land toward her sister u, Ireland. Manu-
iactories have been started here, mills put
mo E operation, potte.7es, mines &c, but In
Ireland might have become, have come over
and bought them up and then closed them.
In this way the only manufacture LEFT
to Ireland Is that OF flax, nor would

surtcited wit ID accounts Of Fcniap swiad1rs

this kind OF patriotism here. The Fcuia1,s
