(1) Charlemonts treachery

Hardy 263. 194

Lord Charlemont accepts the President of the Convention
with for the purpose of defeating frustrating all its ulterior measures, parliamentary
reform included: which and this purpose he accomplishes

Mr Hardy p.283.

It was in the year 1778 that Lord Charlemont, as
it should seem from his own seeking, first came to be at
the head of a body of the Volunteers. "The town of Armagh
"(says Mr Hardy) p. 194 raised a body of men, at the
"head of which Lord Charlemont placed himself. So
long as nothing more was on the carpet their freedom for
Irish trade and independency for Irish Parliament his
wishes and endeavours coincided of course with theirs.
Those of the English King and his Ministers being of course adverse, the
Whigs of England of course were favourable "In 1779"
(so we are told by Mr Hardy p.199) "With the Marquis
"(of Rockingham) Lord Charlemont corresponded, and
"aided all his efforts; but two or three manufacturing
"towns (he adds) "prevailed over Ireland, and its most
"enlightened friends." . . . . Hardy p.199 The Volunteer bands encreased [+] here we have freedom
of trade.
"not more in number than in spirit. Lord Charlemont
"was seen every where among them. He mingled
"his mind with theirs, and was every where revered
"and and followed."

Afterwards in that same year 1779 it was "in
"concert with his friend Lord Charlemont" that Mr Grattan
(Hardy 201) moved a declaration of rights in favour
"of Ireland." Then comes in the Irish style a the panegyric
on the fulmination of Mr Grattans eloquence
"The popular indignation now united itself "(we are told by Mr
Hardy p.202) "in angry but justifiable resolutions, and variety of
addresses
"addresses": for having ,
"ever so long as
as nothing that was done
was seen to aim at any
thing beyond the enlargement
of aristocratical
power at the expense of
monarchical, every
thing that was done was "justifiable."
