Tells of his sympathy and support of the American cause in Ireland ;

 Parliament on the death of Gen. [Richard] Montgomery. Balked the 

 attempt of the British Government to secure an address of support 

 from the citizens of Dublin during the war; the people overwhelmingly

 sent to America. Predicts a great future for the United States. Recom-
