A proclamation leeued bp the Nation, aiista at Dublin et the outbreak of the recent revolution reads aa follows: Tht Provisional Government of the Irinh Republic to the people of Ire land: Irishmen and Irishwomen, in tha n*me of God and of the deed genem tiooi from which you received the old tradition* of nationhood, Ireland, through us, summons her children to her flag and strikes for her freedom, having organised and trained her manhood through her secret revolu tion organisation, the Irish Kepubll. can Brotherhood, and through her op en military organisations, the Irish Volunteers, and tha Irish citizen army. Having patiently perfected their discipline and rueolatety waited for tha right moment to reveal itself, she now seises that esc meet, and, sup ported by her exiled children la Amer ica, sad by her gallant allies in Eu rope, by relying on her own strength, she strikes, la fell confidence ef vic tory. We declare the right ef the people of Ireland to tha ownership ef Ireland and to the unfettered control of Irish deetiaiee to be sovereign and fauto raasibte. Long usurpation of that right by a foreign people and Govern ment Has not extinguished that right, Dor etn it «v«r be uUnfulihtd cx eept by the destruction of the Irish people. Id every generation the Irith people have asserted their right to national freedom and sovereignty. Six tiraoe daring the pait throe hundred years they have esavrted it In anas. Stand ing on that fundamental right, aad again asserting it la arms in tha fact of the world, we hereby proclaim the Irish Republic aa a sovereign, inde pendent State, aad are pledge odr lives aad the lives ef our comrades la anas t» the cause of it* freedom, ita wel fare, and ita exaltation among na tions. The Irish Republic is entitled to, aad hereby claims, tha allegiance at every Irith men and Irish woman. The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights, aad aqnal opportunities to all ita citisaua, and doclaraa ita resolve to pursue the hap piness aad prosperity of the whole na tion. and nf all ita parts, cherishing •® *ke children ef the nation squally, aad oblivious of tha differences, aare foliy fostered by aa alien Govern ment, which have divided the minority from the majority in the past. Until our srasa have brought the opportune moment for the establish ment of a permanent National Gov. eramaat. representative of the whole people ef Ireland aad elected by the suffrage of all her men and women, the Provisional Government hereby constituted will administer the civil and military * flairs ef the republic, h> trust for the people. I We ptaee the cause of the Irish Re public under the protection of the Most High God, whose bleating we in voke upon our arms, aad we pray that no one who terras that came will dis honor it by cowardice, in humanity, or rapine. In this supreme boor the Irish Nation must, by its valor aad discipline aad by tha readiness at its children to ascribes themselves tar the eomatoa good, prove itself worthy at the august destiny to which it is called.
