ABSTRACT

The touching exposition given by major political issues secret committee of their situation its petition for succours preferred in the name of their whole nation, having excited among all the French Republicans those sentiments of generosity and benevolence which they take delight to manifest towards oppressed people, the executive power has determined to come to their assistance in a manner that must fulfil their highest hopes. The English policy has constantly kept up there a leaven of animosity and jealousy between the different religious sects, whose fanaticism, excited and directed by the court of London, prevented the rallying of the strength of Ireland against the common enemy. The prohibition to acquire landed property, or even to hold it on long leases, and which has but very lately received some slight modifications, has forced most of the farmers to become day-labourers and servants to the usurpers of the estates of their ancestors.
