Whilethesebroodingsentiments werestillinarticulate,anoutburstof savageryonthepartofthefanatical ToryProtestantsoftheNorth brought'matterstoaheadt.Acollision,afterwardsdignifiedwiththe preposteroustitleoftheBattleofthe Diamond,tookplaceonSeptember 21,1795,betweenthePeep-o'-Day boysandtheCatholicdefenders.Of thelatter,fourorfivewerekilled. OnDecember28,thirtymagistrates ofthecountrypassedaresolution dealaringthattheCountyofArmagh wasatthatmomentinastateof grievousdisorderthattheRoman Catholicinhabitantsaregrievously oppressedbylawlesspersonsunknown,whoattackandplundertheir housesbynight,andthreatenthem withinstantdestructionunlessthey abandonimmediatelytheirlandand habitations.Thelawlesspersonsunknown,covetingtheirneighbours' lands,andhatingtheirneighbours' creed,conceivedthehappythought ofeffectingbothobjectsatoneand thesametime.Tosuchapass thingscamethat,accordingtothe historyofthetime,nofewerthan fromfivetoseventhousandpersons were,inthecourseoftwelvemonths, eitherkilledordriventowander homelessandstarvingonthehills.

Francewaspreoccupiedelsewhere butthroughsomeofheralliesshe mightstrikeablowatIreland.So thoughttheindomitableWolfeTone, andhewasnotfarwrong.Itseems almostincredibletousEnglishmen to-day,butitisasimplefact,that inthesummerof1797thethenGovernmentofHollandactuallyeqnippeda_powerfulfleetontheTexel, andputonboard15,000Dutch troops,witheightypiecesofartillery,fortheexpresspurposeoflandingtheminIrelandtoco-operate withtheIrishNationalists.Sixteen sailoftheline,witheightorten frigates-thewholeoftheDutch navy,andalltheirarmy,weretobe venturedinthecauseoftheIrish Revolution.VanLeyden,oneofthe DutchCommitteeforForeignAffairs,remarkedthathehadtravelled throughIreland,and,tojudgebythe luxuryoftherichandextrememiseryofthepoor,nocountryinEurope hadsocryinganecessityforarevolution.TowhichWolfeTonereplied thatonegreatmotiveoftheirconductwastheconvictionofthe wretchedstateofthepeasantry,and thedetermination,ifpossible,to amendit.

III.--ACROSSTHESEA. TheactionoftheGovernmentconvincedWolfeTonethatthesituation wasdesperateenoughtojustifyan appealtotheFrenchtointerveneon behalfoftheIrishpeople.HearrivedinFranceimmediatelyafterthe assemblyoftheIrishParliament, andafewmontlbslater,aftertheInsurrectionActhadbeenpassedinto law,theleadersoftheUnitedIrishmenmetanddecidedtobeginthe militaryorganisationofthecountry.

Buttherewasnodreamoftaking thefieldunlesstheFrenchsentan expedition.Theywerestronginnumbers,buttheyentirelydistrusted theirownabilitytomakehead againsttheEnglishwithoutoutside help. Thathelp,longpromisedthem,at lastwassenttotheiraid.OnDecember15,1796,GeneralHoche,with 13,965Frenchtroopsandtwenty piecesoffieldartillery,andarmsfor 45,001men,embarkedatBrest.Besidesthetransports,therewere seventeensailoftheline,thirteen frigates,andfivecorvettes.Butthe windwasfoul.Rocheandtheadmiralgotseparatedfromthemain body,andonlyaportionofthefleet anchoredonDecember23inBantry Bay."Theinfernaleasterlywind," asWolfeTonecalledit,gotworseinsteadofbetter.Theyweresixdays inBantryBay,within5ooyardsof theshore,withoutbeingabletodisembark.Theyweredispersedfour timesinfourdays,andoneoftheir shipswaslost.Shipaftershipdraggedheranchors,andhadtoputout toseatoat;capedestruction.Atlast itwasevidentnothingcouldbedone. Aperfecthurricaneragedoverthe seaastheyearcametoitsdismal close.ByNewYenr'sDaytheexpeditionwashackinBrestwithouthavingfiredashotgoingorcoming. TheEnglishGovernmentdidnot deservetherespite.Insteadofprofitingbythefailureofliehopesof therevolutionaries,theyplunged moreruthlesslythaneveruponthe pathofrepressionandofviolence. Tenthousandmenwereaddedtothe militia.GeneralLake,whosecharactermaywellbediscernedinhisletters,wasCommander-in-Chief,with afreehandtostriketerrorinUlster.
