Gazette Of The United States

In the Irish House of Lords, the motion for an address to his Majesty on the speech at the opening of the session, was made by the Earl of Westmeath, and carried unanimously. The motion for an address to the Lord Lieutenant was made by Lord Viscount Dillon; and opposed by the Duke of Leinster; on which Lord Portarlington said, he was sorry to differ from the noble Duke, with whom he had so long agreed; but in the present instance he felt that it was as necessary in Ireland for Parliament to unite and resist the enemies of the Constitution, as it was in England, where party was laid aside to save the country. He knew not of any parties in this country, but if there were, he was sensible that they should give place to the more important consideration of the public safety.

On the question being put, the Duke was the only dissentient.

[Dence which we expected he would display,] Ireland, with that loyalty and political prudence, but which the English Jacobins hoped she would not, has given the finishing blow to faction. The incendiaries of France, and the perturbed spirits of the phalanx, have now their prospects blasted. Their diabolical endeavors to divide Great-Britain and Ireland, have been frustrated; and France and Faction have now to dread the united exertions of Britannia and Hibernia to suppress anarchy and Jacobin politics.
