2 Charlemont treachery

In 1781 at the opening of the Irish Parliament, we
find Lord Charlemont, according to Mr Hardy (p.210.
211.) as anxious as ever for the "Shaking off the domination
"of the British legislature: and accordingly delighted
instead of appalled at the encrease given to the
adverse Ministerial majorities against the ele in the House of
Commons: looking with saying that wil but for that
encrease the subsequent meeting at Dungannon a sort of preparatory
Convention would not have taken place: that
meetin viewing not only merely with appar satisfaction and
approbation the fear under within the influence of which
whatever was done by the Irish Parliament in favour
of the Irish nation was done — those fears without which
nothing to that effect, as by the encrease of those majorities
was made manifest would ever have been
done.

Thereupon from p.212 to p.221 come [+] declaration
of rights passed in the Irish House of Commons on the
motion of Grattan suspicion that the Whig English Ministry
might when in power be liable to Irish Parliamentary
and negotiation with them thereupon.

In England retreat of Lord North's
Tory Administration
in Engl successor of
the She Buckingham
and Shelbournes Whig
administration.

Then comes an account
of the Dungannon preparatory
Convention which
met on the 15th of February
1782. Ulster Volunteers
pt of Corps sending Delegates
143. Resolutions
20, declaration of rights
and grievances, mis
mentioning with "exultation
"the relaxation of
"the penal laws against the
"Roman Catholics", Address
to the Minority in both Houses
saying "We are resolved
to be free" p.212.

From p.221. to p. 238 comes the dissatisfaction entertained
by some of the Irish with Flood at their head, for want of a
perpetual and formal and perpetual renunciation of the claims
of the British legislature to legislate over Ireland [+] [+] the Irish vote of 20,000 Seamen
for the service of Britain
suspended by means of
that dissatisfaction and the history
of the gra £50,000 grant to Mr Grattan, and the temporary decline
of his popularity in consequence of his resisting in concert with
Lord Charlemont the endeavours made by Flood and his party to obtain
this
this additional concession
from the British Parliament
now under the guidance
of Lord Charlemont's Whig
associates.
