MR. SMITH 0 BRIEN AND THE AMERICAN
QUESTION.

The Freeman's Joanne/ publishes a letter from
Mr. Smith O'Brien to Mr. Seward, of the United States, in
which, ansoopt other things, he refers to the knotty point
sow at issue between this country sod America. After
dwelling epee the probable comequeneas of • ruptures
between the two countries, sad which he considers could
Dot but be disaatrom to the United State*, he says :--" In
view of these eontingendes do I ask you to lower " the
stars and stripes," ILIA to humble yourself to England ? By
no means ; but 1 earnestly entreat you to renew relations
of amity, if not of affective, with thane who are your
natural frigid., who ought to be your brothers is affeetimit
as they are your brothers by the relation of kindred.
Answer the British in the language of diplomacy.
Quote authorities and precedents to show that you
are justified by the law of nations, and specially by the
example of England, in 'the seizure of these commie-
Moines. Such discussions will give you time for delibe-
ration and for preparation ; but lose sot an hour in libe-
rating the oommtastooers. Send them to the Confederate
headquarters, and tell them to return to Washington as
pleuipmeotiaries duly authorised to treat respecting the
terms of an immediate suspension of arms, and respecting
aa sally adjustment of the questions at issue between the
Noreen and Southern states. If this be the language of
common sense, do not despise it because it COMO' from an
island which has for ages been the victim of misgovern-
ment. I believe that the language which I now hold be-
speaks the sentiments of • large majority of my fellow-
ocuatrymen, sod there is not among the natives of the
earth a people who entertain towards the United States
of America so much affection as is felt by the Irish. Mr.
Smith O'Brien conclude* a the following patriotic terms :
If you make peace with the South there will be no war
with England. Some convenient and plausible pretext will
be discovered for forbearing to resent the affront which has
bees offered to the British thg. &gland would not hesi-
tate to assail you, as she assailed the Chinese, if you were
unable to defend yourselves ; bet when she shall find that
the shores of America are to he protected by a million of
erased men who have profited by the experience of, at lead,
one campaign—when she shall find that every harbour
and every river from the frontier of MMus to the extre-
mity of Texas is about to send out privateers which will
intercept, *yea in Australia, the gold laden vessels of
England—when she remollecte that if she places a regi-
ment ea the borders of Canada, a large portion of that
regiment will amen to the United %tee—whim she re-
flects that Usher go to war with united America she will be
met by 300,000 Ina soldiers who pant fee ea opportunity of
avenging the wrongs of their rem—when she is coesnoes
that five millions of Irishmen inhabiting an island which lies
by her side will sympathise with America rather than with
Ecgland in such a straggie—wben she forebodes, with
gloomy forecast, that the glory of England will fur ever per
away, and become matter of history, if ever France and
America shall unite is bostility to her—when she knows that
the rider of France is watching, like an eagle, for an oppor-
tunity to pounce upon his prey, and that Frame will be sup-
ported by the sympathy of Spain, and the gratitude of Italy,
she will bs slow to encounter these hazards, even in defame
of the Hag that " has braved • thousand years the battle and
the bream"
