The speech of the Right Honourable John, earl of Clare, lord high chancellor of Ireland, Monday, February 19, 1798, on motion made by the Earl of Moira : "That an humble address be presented to His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant to state, that as Parliament had consided to His Excellency extraordinary powers in order to support the laws and defeat traiterous combinations in this country, we feel it our duty-as those powers have not produced the desired effect-to recommend the adoption of such conciliatory measures as may allay apprehensions and discontent" (Printed by authority.).
