But it is My painful Duty to "observe, that the Disturbances in Ireland, to which I "adverted at the Close of the last Session, have greatly "encreased. A Spirit of Insubordination and Violence "has risen to the most fearful Height, rendering Life "and Property insecure, defying the Authority of the "Law, and threatening the most fatal Consequences, if "not promptly and effectually repressed.
