POSTSCRIPT.

Since these papers were sent to the press, the Commons of Ireland have, in their address to his Majesty, resolved, unanimously, "that it is not by temporary expedients, but by a free trade alone that this nation is now to be saved from impending ruin." And the Lords have in their address unanimously entered into a resolution of the same import.
