^. vi NOTE. In 1778, when the dissatisfaction of Ireland with the English system of restrictive commerce and manufactures was assuming serious proportions, Franklin, with his natural shrewdness, endeavored to turn it to America's advantage. In the following address he pointed out that the United Colonies were not merely fighting for constitu- tional, but for commercial liberty as well, and that it was the interest of the Irish to make common cause with the Americans. This address was probably p...rinted on Franklin's private press at Passy, and a large number of the broadside were put on board a Dutch smuggler, (i. e. French) at Brest to carry to Ireland. 5 Here they were discovered by an En- glish privateer, whose commander de- livered them to the captain of His Majest)^'s ship the Portland, by whom they were forwarded to the Lords of the Admiralty. They thus became part of the files of the Admiralty office, being transferred with these to the Public Record office. This address has hitherto escaped notice, and is not printed in any of the editions of Franklin's works.
