Transcribed from the 24 June 1823 edition of The Strabane Morning Post newspaper, by permission of The British Library: We learn that Government has decided on encouraging emigration from the disturbed districts to Upper Canada. We understand that Mr. Robinson has arrived in the co. Cork as an accredited agent to superintend the embarkation of such families as may be inclined to embrace so favourable an opportunity. The most liberal encouragement is held out to farmers who shall be recommended, viz.--A free passage to America, the conveyance of their moveables--on their landing a grant of one hundred acres of land, and provisions gratis for the first year. It is supposed that this offer will be readily embraced by numbers in consequence of the overgrown population in the country, and the general want of employment at this moment. =========================
