LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 20.
THE intelligence received from Ireland has na
Wildly excited deep anxiety and alarm. Dublin,
Cork, Vtiaterford, and Drogheda have been placed by
proclamation under the special provisions of the
Peace Preservation Act, with V..° view of enabling
the authorities summarily to disarm all whom they
have reason to regard as disaffected, and to take such
other measures for the more effectual maintenance of
order as may for the time be deemed needful.
The reasons which have impelled the Irish govern-
ment to the adoption of this peremptory and decisive
course are as yet unknown to us in detail : but quite
enough has already transpired to satisfy all reasonable
friends of freedom and of peace that the necessity of
the case was imminent, and that delay or irresolution
would have been an act of merciless weakness
and treachery to the unwary and nnwarned people,
whose properties and lives might have been seriously
endangered by the criminal folly and infatuation of
a few daring and desperate men. For we are con-
vinced that, as compared with the mass of the popu-
lation in either town or country, the dreamers of an
Irish red republic are bat few; and we have not a
doubt that by the prompt and vigorous measures now
taken, after so many months of forbearance on the
part of the government, the neck of secret conspiracy
will be completely broken, and the weakness and
futility of such attempts made manifest to all men in
future.
The only infraction of the public peace appears to
have occurred at Carrick-on-Suit, a small and very
impoverished town, about 13 miles from Waterford.
A catholic clergyman, the Rev. P. Byrne, having
been arrested for seditious language used at a club
meeting, or ratLer review, held in the neigh-
bourhood, the people flocked in great num-
bers to the place where he had been temporarily
confined, and demanded his release. There did not
happen to be at the moment any magistrate within
reach from whom orders could be obtained ;
and the subaltern officer of police deemed it more
prudent to accept the offer of two respectable per-
sons to act as bail for thenev. gentleman's appearance
when called upon, to incur the risk of an
unecual collision with an excited mob. The military
were not called upon in any way to interpose ; and
no violence would seem to have been sustained by any
individual; nor any injury to property. That the
circumstance will be exaggerated and misinterpreted
we do not doubt; but, on the other hand, we confi-
dently anticipate that a great reaction will set in
among large classes of the community, who have
