In common with others, we have felt the influence of the changes that have successively taken place in France; and, un- fortunately, a portion of our inhabitants have erro- neously supposed that our civil and political institu- tions, as well as our national policy, might be ita- proved by a close imitation of Franze. opinion, the propagation of which was made the and became the chief employment of the French agents residing among us, crea ed a more considerable divi- sion among our people, and required a greater watchfulness and activity from the ernment, than could beforehand have been apprehended. 1 em sorry to make tbe remark, and shall stand in need of your candor in doing 50, that a large pro- portion of the emigrants from Ireland, and especi- ally in the middle States, have, "pon this occasion, arranged themselves on the side of the malcontents, (the democrats who mipporied Mr. Jefferson). I ought to accept from this remark most of the en- Ightened and well educated Irishmen who reside among ua, and, with a few exceptions, I might con- fine it to the indigent and illiterate, who, entertain- ing an attachment for freedom, are unable to sever ciate those salutary restraints without which it de- generates into anarchy. It would be injustice to those of other countries; yet, being a numerous, though very minor portion of our population, they are capable, from causes it is needless now to ex- plain, of being generally brought to act in concert, and, under artful leaders, may be, as they have been, enlisted in mischievous combinations against our goverpment. This view leads me to state to you without reserve the hesitation that I have felt in your case; on the one hand, we cannot object to the acquisition of inhabitan's from abroad, preven | capital and skill in a branch of business that, due caution, may, without risk or difficulty, aud with # pasos as well as private advantage, be estab- lished among us; bnt, on the other hand, if the opinions ot such inhabitants are likely to throw them into the class of malconteuts, their fortune, skill and consequent infiuen e would make them tenfold more dangerous, and they might become a disadvan instead of a benefit to our country. You mast sensible that I possess no eufficient means of forming an opinion respecting your sentiments; but tue mo- tives which lead me to interfere with your govern- ment to restrain the emigration of the personsabove alluded to, oblige me to observe a due caution on the present occasion. At the same time, I desire not to act with illberality, and should be unwilling to bring upon my country the slightest impatation of egg What Mr. Wilson (the American notice, I have been sbundautly honored by friends; and yet extraordina: meen to pry little at:ention to their assiduities, but to shall Icave it to be deended defend itself.

Tn the summer people of Ireland for their emancipation completely defeated; after every a:med body hai been dispersed or had surrendered, except a few mea that had taken refuge in the mountains of Wicklow: while military tribunals, house-burnings, shootings, torture, and ‘every kind of devastation were deso- lating and overwhelming the defenceiess inhabitants, some of the State fab hago then in confinement, eu- tered into a negotiation with the Irish ministers for effecting a general amnesty; and as an indacement, offered, among other things not necessary to the examinationof your conduct, to emigrate to such country as might be agreed upon between them and the government. When | consented to this offer, for one, (and it was the case with the pret majori- ty), Lcolemnly declare that I was perfectly appris- ed that there was nolegal grounds di:covered u which to proceed against me. I further knew that uence of of my friends, informed them that there was no in tention of preferring a bill of indictment against me. Somuch for the personal considerations by which I might have been actuated; and now, sir, to return, The offer was accepted, the bloody sys- tem was stopped for a time, and was not renewed until after your interference, and after the British ministry had resolved openly to break its faith with ng. On our part, we performed our stipulations with the most punctilious fidelity, but in such a manner as to preserve to us the warm- est approbation of our friends, and to excite the cae diseatisfaction in our enemies. Government soon perceived that on tne score of interest, it had calculated badly, and had gained nothing by the contract. It was afraid of letting us go at large to develope and detect the misrepresent aod calumnies that were studiously set afloat, and bad therefore, I am convinced, determined to violate its engagements by keeping us prisoners as long as possible. How was this to be done? In the com- mencement of our negotiation, Lord Castlareagh de- clared, a3 a reason for our acccding to government's possessing a negative on our shoize, that it had no ‘worse tee view for our tion than the United States of America.

How, then, is it possible that, you could have been a dupe to the misrepregentations of the British gov- ernment? There remarks I address, with all becoming reepect, to “the first man in the country.’ Yet, in fact, sir,1 do not early see in what consists your euperiority over myself. It is true, you bave beén a resident minister at the Court of St. James; and if what I have read in the public prints be true, and if you be apprised of my near relation- ship and femily connection with the late Sireoha Temple, you must acknowledge that your interfer- saint my belog permitied to emigrate 2 America, against my being per e 2 ica, is avery ariour instance of the caprice of fortune. ut letthat pass. To what extent I ought to yield to you for talents and information, is not for me to decide, In no other respect, however, do I feel your excessive superiority. i private character and conduct are, hope. as fair as yours, and even in {bore matters which which aristocratic pride is accustomed to value, I should not petition. My birth certainly will not humble me by ihe comparison; my paternal fortune was probabl) much greater than yours; the consideration in whic! the name I bear was held in my native country was us great as yours is ever likely to be, before I had an opportunity of contributing to its celebrity. As to the amount of what private fortune I have been able tosave from the wreck of calamity, it is unksown to you or to your friends; but tw» things I will tell you—I never was indebted, either in the couutry rom which I came, nor in any other in which I have lived, to any man, her than the necessary credit for the current expenses of a family; and am not so circumstanced that I should tremble “ for my sub- sistence” at the threatened displeasure of your friends. So much forthe past and the present—now for tke future. Circumstances which cannot be centrolied, have decided that my name must be em- bodied into history. From the manner in which even my political adversaries, and some of my co- temporary historians, unequivocally hostile to my principles, already speak of me, I have the consola- tion of reflecting, that when the falsehoods of the day are withered and rotten, I shall be res; ond esteemed.
