A PROCLAMATION.

·ER COX,

We taking into our most serious consideration, the just and necessary trade of Magazine making, in which we are engaged, and purour trust in the Irish people, that they will be bountifully pleased to purchase our Irish Magazine for town and country, and do, by and with, the advise of our editors hereby command that a day of public sale be observed, in those parts of Dublin, called Abbeystreet, on the first of April next, being fools day, that so we and our friends may, (by reading the Irish Magazine,) obtain full and sufficient information against the numerous enemies of Ireland--and with the most patriotic fervour, to send out magazine up to the South and down to the North, for the purpose of inducing our readers to pass those heavy judgenents on all such enemies to Ireland, which they have so justly deserved-and to implore their good will to us, and their assist ance in circulating our Magazines, which will contribute to the restoration of peace, plenty and independence, in Old Ireland-and we strictly charge and command that the said public sale be atten

tively and dutifully observed by all our loving readers in Ireland, as they tender the favour of the Irish people, and would avoid their wrath and indignation, and upon pain of such punishment as we may justly inflict (through the medium of the Irish Magazine) on all such occasions as contemn, and neglect the performance of so patriotic and necessary a duty,-and for the better and more effectually advertising the said sale, we have given directions to the most exalted of the pedlars, and the right worshipfull and right excelent, the news hawkers of Ireland. to compose a form of publication suitable for this occasion, to be used by all booksellers and itinerant traders, and exhibited in all places of public sale, and to take care that the same be finely dispersed throughout their respective counties.

Given at our warehouse No. 150, Abbey-street, the first day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ten, and in the 3rd year of the Irish Magazine. BLADDERCHOPS, BOBABIL, CLARKSVALL, CHATGUZZLE, LYRICAL, CANTWELL, BOR, FREEQUARTERS.

MR. COX.

I am a Roman Catholic inhabitant of this village, and have a growing family of sons and daughters, I had taken considerable pains to instruct them in their religious duties, and been very successful; and I can with truth aver, there were not children in the parish whose general deportment did bespeak a more thorough knowledge of their Christian Doctrine.

Some two years back, a great rich Roman Catholic came to live in our neighbourhood, Fame had been lavish in her praises of this man, he was described to me as one whose example would edify our ignorant poor, and who, by the prudent expenditure of his fortune would alleviate their dis

[blocks in formation]

Edification, his example has given to our children in this village, where all we can boast of is pover. ty and virtue. Being at mas in our Chapel, on a Sunday in the month of August last, imagine my surprise and horror at seeing my eldest daughter standing up with the most indifferent apathy, daring the clevation; none can conceive what I felt at that moment, but some parent like me, whose years were devoted to the instruction of his children, and who had seen the fruits of all his toils likely to be blighted by impious maxims or bad example. On my arrival at home, I remonstrated with the girl, in terms of mild expostula tion for her indecent conduct at the chapel. She burst into tears,

and assured me that Mr. the great money broker, never knelt down during the mass, and that a gentleman who had been so well educated, and had such opportunities of knowing the differ ence between right and wrong, would not have acted in that way had such conduct been irreligi ous. This misconception of the girl, obliged me to explain to all my children, that the laws given by the deity for the regulation of our conduct in this world, imposed the same obligations on rich and poor, that wealth, instead of making men more religious, did in general make them more vicious, and that education, which ought to teach humility and decorum, very often made men proud and deistical-I had the pleasure of finding my observations made that impression I wished, and my children from the oldest who is sixteen to the youngest, who is but seven years of age, now holds this money broker in the most contemptuous light. I never proposed any further advantage to myself. In this matter, than teaching my children their duty, but meeting one of your maga zines a few days back, in which was a letter from a citizen, thanking you for banishing blackguards from Denmark-street chapel. am induced to make this comm!! nication, in order, that by your publishing it, (if it is worth a place in your excellent magazine) this rich Roman Catholic may, hear that his indecent conduct has not been without its usual conse quences, and that he may be assured, if he does not in future, behave himself with as much re

THE IRISH MAGAZINE AND A CARLOW PHILOSOPHER

This Erudite gentleman has interdicted the sale of our Publication in Carlow, we are in complete possession of his charitable objec. tions, and but for the respect in which we hold the Sacerdotal character, we could easily shew that his zeal is blind, his interference unwarrantable, and his statements respecting the Magazine unfounded in fact, This Gentleman we understand, is a Professor of Ethicks' and Cookery, and being extensively read, must ere this time, be informed, that JULIAN the Aposate forbade the introduction of the Greek and Latin poers into the Schools of Italy, lest they might Heathenize the Christian Children. With a like laudible anxiety for the welfare of his pupils, this Rev.

Gentleman pronounces an ANATHEMA against the Irish Magazine, and we will venture to predict that the Philosopher will be as successful as the Apostate was. However we will make an equitable proposal to him ; we are not accustomed to receive money for Eulogiums as the Edinburgh and other Reviewers are; but we promise that we will prove him in our next number to be a more luminous moral Philosopher than EPICTETUS, PLATO, or SOCRATES, a greater Metaphysician than DON BALTHAZAR DE OROBIO and a Cook far transcending APICIUS. If he will in future allow the people of Carlow to read the Orange peeling, Corn cutting Irish Magazine.

FORE.GN AFFAIRS.

The English Journalists, who have se frequently killed Bonaparte, are now as busily employed marrying him, not a disengaged young woman of his vassal kings, to whom they have not alternately allied him, on the more and childish calculation, that he seeks a companion, to share his throne, and gratify his ambition, with an alliance, with what is called royal blood. So much has the head of the new Dynasty towered above such petty and childish ideas, heretofore, so current in public esteem, when ignorance guided public opinion, that his enlarged views, are regulated by a political and solid greatness, which all the blood of his Sardinian or Saxon deputies, could not either raise or depre

ciate.

The trade of England is most

inveterately and efficiently attacked by the policy which invariably governs the Corsican councils. Not a single port, town or community, on the continent, with the exception of Spain and Portugal, but are interdicted from dealing in any species of British property, and even the rifling advantages deriv ed by a connexion with the two countries now open to commercial intercourse, must inevitably and speedily be extinguished, as the armies of France, are spreading their veteran strength over the entire peninsula. One rapid and lasting calamity to the prejudice of what England calls her staple manufacture, will be the loss of Spanish wool, which is the only material to be had in the universe, for the making of superfine cloths.
