^ very great advantage to the remote weftcrn dlftri<9:s, as enabling farm- 

 ers, in fucli i ' nations, to forward fat llock to tlie metropolis ; a mea- 

 fure they could not, from the length of journey, attempt before, and 

 thereby oblige the landholders to difpofe ot their llock in a (lore ftatc. 



I find by the perfons who come here from your fide of the water, 

 an opinion prevails, th?t this country is in an unfafe flate for flran- 

 gers to fettle in. Irelaiid, ni tlie year 1798, was in a moll unfortunate 

 and perilous condition ; but happily, the ferment which then raged, is 

 completely abated, and habits of increafed induftry and good order are 

 ftow predominant. I think proper to apprife you of this defirable change, 

 that you may take notice of it in your Magazine, to encourage fuch 

 perfons from your neighbourhood, who may be difpofed to fettle here, 

 where there is a wide field for the employment of intelligent men. I 

 /hall have great pleafure to inform you on any fubjecls you require, io 

 far as in my pow^r.
