| Transcript | Extract of a letter from Derry, June 14. "...You cannot conceive the ferment the Presbyterians are in on acccount of the late act. Multitudes are daily arriving here to go to America. There are 5 large ships in this port ready to sail, each of whom will take at least 500 passengers, which will amount to 2500 souls of the most industrious people of this kingdom. We are apprehensive that the spirit of emigration will soon depopulate this country, if some method is not speedily taken to put a stop to it...." |
