TABLE A.

Eftimate of the loffes fuftained by Europe through the means of the French Republic.

[The loffes of men and the expenfes of the war are not included here; as England alone has spent many million pounds fterling.]

Lofs of the Dutch by the Bankruptcies of
the Great Nation
Unvalued property; as plate of the church-

es, maintenance of the armies, palaces,
houfes, national domains, property of the
emigrants in the conquered countries,
fortifications, ceded territories, their re-
gular revenues, &c. &c.
Enormous amount of affignats, mandats,

&c. poured out amongst mankind, whereby millions of credulous people were deceived.-Fifty milliards of affignats; whereof (including what was lost by foreigners in the public funds one. third may be taken in calculation A great number of large and fmall "Ame-" rican veffels, taken without a declaration of war, by piracy, which amount in number to more than one thousand; and valuing each with its cargo at only one thousand pounds, the amount is

A number of veffels taken from the other neutral powers together

N. B. We do not reckon the loffes of Great Britain and Ireland in commercial veffels, as the French have loft more than their amount in fhips of war. Total lofs of Europe in money, goods, and territory*

*ROME, Oct. 8, 1798.-A new forced Loan of 600,000 Piaftres was levied by the new government: which is about three millions of Livres, or 125,000l. fterling.

Should any one find this calculation over-rated, he will please to confider that all the countries conquered by the French nation were the most rich, populous, induftrious, and fruitful parts of the Continent, and that this turbulent Republic has at prefent nearly a third part of Europe under her command. She has fo rounded and fortified herfelf, that he is ena bled to keep all nations in a state of perpetual agitation.

Thus then stands the account of the last memorable year:

Whereas now the fingle town of Paisley, fends to Leipfic fair, about nearly eight times that amount; and the trade of Scotland, as before stated, produced in 1796, above fifty times that amount. Such is Union! But let men examine also, whereto is the trade of Ireland; is it not almost folely to Great Britain? And whereto is the trade of Scotland, at this moment? -To all the universe. Union has prefented her with the key of British Commerce, and opened for her the harbours of the globe. So will union of interefts, capital, and skill, operate in favour of Ireland.

Let Ireland examine well this detail of Commercial intercourse.
Let the aggregate amount of this Commerce, during one year at

each

each place, be duly confidered. These are proofs which bring
home conviction upon facts, and difplay through the incontrover-
tible evidence of figures, what have been the refults of Union
to Scotland. Since, therefore, fuch are the confequences to a
country, without thofe natural capabilities from local advantages,
or from animal, mineral, and vegetable refources; what has not
Ireland folid reafon to expect, being fo eminently distinguished
with fuch extraordinary fuperiorities, if once enjoying an equality
of civil and political capacities? Madness, indeed, and not fim-
ple prejudice muft rule the hour-did not fome mental contagion
prevail, of which the great philofopher Bacon fpeaks, men could
not pause a moment upon the measure of an Union. In our con-
fcience, we think that those who oppofe it, are downright ene-
mies to Ireland; they are enemies to its fuffering cottagers, its
ftarving poor, its miferable manufacturers: they are enemies to the
jandholders and the merchant: they are enemies to their torn and
bleeding country, and to themselves,-though not intentionally
to any of these. But we do believe them to be eventually,
and radically, overthrowing the throne and the altars of their
country.
