INTEREST OF BRITAIN, 

 here. It is for this reafon that I think myfelf the 

 warmed friend to Britain, by urging the importance of Jrilh 

 profperity ; we can never thrive to the extent of our capacity 

 till local prejudices are done away, and they are not done'away 

 until we believe the advantage the fame, whether wealth 

 arifes in Rofcommon or in Berkshire. 



Upon the whole it appears, that the Irifh have no reafon 

 to look for relief from this new and liberal fyftem, to any dif- 

 trefs peculiar to the prefent moment ; the fiknt progrefs of 

 time is doing that for them, which they are much too apt to 

 look for in ftatutes, regulations and repeals. Their diftrefs 

 will moftaffuredly be only temporary. The increafe of wealth, 

 which has for fome time been flowing into that kingdom, will 

 animate their induftry ; to put it in the future is improper, it 

 muft be doing it at this moment, and he is no friend to Bri- 

 tain that does not wiih it may continue in the moft rapid pro- 

 greflion } in this idea I fhall not hefitate to declare, that the 

 freedoms granted to Ireland, whenever they Jhall take effect to 

 the benefit of that kingdom, will prove the wifeft meafures 

 for enriching this. That all apprehenfions of ills arifmg from 

 them are equally contrary to the dictates of experience, and 

 to the conclufions of the founded theory.
