Inthe yeag 81 i6H Or 1912, many thou
sands of poor innocent people Of the county
Of dublin, stunning tho fury Of the English
eoldiery, fed into the thickets, which the
soldiers actually fred, killing as many as
90 De turned. And as to the rest of the
famine. -. -. -.
,., Not only BY land, where We read, some
times, ofeeveh Thousand Of our people, men,
women, and children without discrimina
ton, being destroyed by these demons
not only were the Irish pursued on the land
hut even on the sea. We read that there
was Flaw passed that If any Irishmen we're
found on board ship by his Msjosty's, CRUZ
sers, they were to be destroyed. '.The
Earl Of Warwick. - (this is Clarendon's
accoant)--'the Earl of Warwick" lie says,
"a often Us he met an Irish frigate, or such
freebooters ss sailed under commission, all
the seAuien who became prisoners who DO
longed to the nation Of ireland, they tied
them back to back, and throw them over
board into tho sea, without distinction as
to their condition, for they were only Irish"

know nothing and said nothing, because his
Msjeaty could not complain of it without
being concerned in it, in favor Of tho rebels
in ireland.
Agais:-"The Marquis Of Ormesde sent
Captain Anthony Willoushby with $50 men
Galway, from thence to Bristol, to look
| after and follow party Of men who were
10 the service of tho King, and actually
fought for him. The ship in which they
were, was taken by Capt. Swanley, who
threw seventy Of the soldiers, who we're
Irish, overheard, although these same sol
against the rebels during all the time Of tho
war" You will ask me, "Was that Captain
punished for the murder ." Here is the
punishment be got. In JEne, l644, We read
in tho Journal of the English Honse Of
Com mons, that Capt. Swaniey was called
into the House,. and had thanks given to
him for his good service. and achain of gold
equal in value to f2O0; and that Capt
Smith had another of 4lOO in value given
him. E"Sir Richard Gronville was very
much esteemed by the Earl Of Leicester,
who was Lord Lieutenant for Ireland 81
and more still by tho Parliament, for the
Irish, hanging old men who were bedrid-
den, because they would nosl discover
| where their money was hidden; and old
women, some of them of quality, after he
had pIundered them, and found less than
he expected" .'7~ " e. o."
In a word, they committed atrocities
which am ashamed and afraid to mention.
The soldiers tossed the infants taken from
| their dead mothers' bosoms on their bayo-
4 nets. Sir Charles Coote saw one of his
soldiers playing with child, throwing it
| into the air and then splitting it upon his
bayonet as it fell and he laughed aud said
che enjoyed such froiic 1' They brought
children into the world before their time
by the Cesarian operation of the sword;
I and the children thu. brought forth in
misery from out the wo'ubs Of their dead
mothers they Inundated and sacrificed in
the most cruel and terrible manner. l Am
afraid say, again, am afraid of ,our
blood and mine, to tell you the one-tenth,
ave, the one hundreath part Of the cruelties
people.
Now, ask you to contrast this with the
manner in the Irish troops and the Irisf
people behaved. 81 took Mas" says LORD
Castlehaven, "and found in it garrison
of English soldiers, seven hundred strong
and saved the life of overy man amongs
them, and made them o present to Gene
raj Oliver Cromwell, with the request that
in like circumstances, he would do The
same by me-" But 1t was only few day
later the town of Galway capitulated
Crom we'll promised quarter; but as soon q
he entered, he took the governor Oh III
} town, and all Of the officers of the army
and put them all to death.
"sir Charles Coote, going down int
Munster, slaughtered every man, woman
and child he met on his march: and anon
others, was a man named Philip Ry an, VIII
} was the principal farmer Of the place, WHOM
! he put death without the slightest hesita
tion. But some of Philip Ryan's friends
; brothers and relatives, retaliated somewha
