[ The Committee on " Irish Distress *' have addressed the following communication to us , and we cannot refuse , their request , however inconvenient and perplexing , to give it insertion in the present Number , To what reflectious does it
give rise on the Government of Ireland , the Established Church of Ireland , and similar topics \ But we * forbeajr , a . * pre , seat , convinced tjba . t now ' * * U mankind ' s concexa is charity , " J £ pJ City of JLondon Tauernt June $ 0 , 1822 .
The Committee appointed by the Public Meeting suddenly asseinbleu on the first intimation of the great and accumulating discrete of the Peasantry of Ireland , have now been in activity about six weeks . Not a day has passed but something has been done toward fulfilling the duties which the Committee hus undertaken .
The distress which induced the can * veiling of the first General Meetiqg was such as to conMrvce H . that the moat prompt and deeitiive measures were lmr periomsty required i und the accounts
then made known of ihe distress pre . vaUing amongst the Peasantry of Ireland , have bstm more than amply confirmed , by iwmedms correspondence with g * n . tteauw resident in place * ffumroiutad by the iQQM fearful poverty and privation . r I"he bemsvolanee of all elw&em In tji « United Kmgdoip h ajB plated a consutev *

ble sum at the disposal eftbe € 3 otnmln ^ and the greatest diHge » ce and Bttedtiou have been used to distribute with the utmost advantage the « aea » s with which the Committee has been intrusted ; and with thankfulness they acknowledge the
Hberality of the public m pou-ritig i Q the funds which have bee » i ^ eerved . 'Fkesc they regard a » a sacred U \ i » t—one of such importance that their anxiety has become increasingly painful , so hig& does the e 5 tcitem ^ n-t rke courectly to aequit themselves of the task they have w&tte * --
taken . It is well krwxwn thai potatoes cor ^ siftute the chief support of the peasantry of Ireland . Tke Committee , therefore , have prom-ptfy despatched potatoes in large quanthi «« , for seed , for the next year ' s food . The sum of £ 61 , 300 , bekig about two-thirds of £ 92 , 363 . 18 * . Id . the whole amount of co » triku 4 ioHs
received , has been sent in upwards of 330 remittances , to different distile * & of Ireland , in which distress is most prevalent . To enable the ministers of religion to exercise that be » eficeace which so becomes the religion they profess , the further sum of £ 3400 has been placed at th ?> disposal of the Bishops , both Protestant and Catholic—and in all places to which assistance has been sent to
prevent absolute sfcarvattoa , the Protestant Clergy and the Catholic Priest have united with the resideut gentlemen te form local committees . But the months of July and August will , they doubt not , present accumulated horrors , and call for very large additional supplies . The months of July and August may be said to assail the Committee with
fearful apprehension j—willingly would they make reserve for these mouths , which will , it is expected , resound with appalling cries from the dying Peasantry of Ireland . This , however , in the present state of the funds ^ is impossible , for the presslug solicitations still Feeeived by every post claim instant attention and
daily remittances . On the other hand , the Committee feels that it may eouftdently r-ely on the results which will inevitably be produced by the ' * King ' s Letter , " graciously issued to the Clergy o # Great Britain , to urge them to plead with , and to collect from , their respective congregation ^ donations to thetr fellow-8 ubjeets in the most abject
state of poverty and distress . The Committee look up to Him , in whose hands are the hearts of all men , that he will be pleased to in dine them te assist the needy in their extremity , fjiey cannot doubt the exertions wfeieh will be nmde when the sufferings ef Ireland shall be mom known — fully known they can
