Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Dublin, dated September 12.
We have lately had a great election here, conducted with a moderation unknown in England: in almost every struggle the people have prevailed-- our Volunteers still keep embodied, as we still have some internal regulations to make. Alterations in our constitution, and a reform of parliament, are now likewise aimed at, and some commercial regulations to put us on a footing with our neighbours the English, of whom we are now as jealous as you were at the beginning.
Thanks be to God, our struggle has been without bloodshed, and our liberties are established on the broadest foundation, by the virtue of the people. You led the way, and we have followed the illustrious example. England, smarting with the wounds received in America, reluctantly gave us all we asked--having felt our own consequence, and procured a name among the nations of the earth we hope, by God's blessing, to perfect the work, and tear off the remaining badges of our former slavery.
