DUBLIN, SEPT. 6.
A week ago all the Sligo papers announced the
capture of Hayes, the murderer of Mr. Braddell.
This announcement was made in the most pro-
minent and distinct manner, and one of them alleged
the authority of a sub-inspector of constabulary for
the statement, which has turned out to be without
any foundation. He is still at large. But the police
are confident that he has not left the country, and
that he cannot ultimately escape. They are on his
track night and day, and they have driven him back
from the mountains of Kilcommon towards his own
residence, where his numerous friends have formed
a body guard for his protection, and are ever on the
alert to prevent his arrest. The constabulary have
found the chase very harassing, but they are un-
wearied in their exertions. A few days ago he was
actually seen by two constables in [plain clothes,
As they approached they were recognised, and the
brother-in-law of Hayes made a signal by throwing
up his hat in the air,. The police were within 400
yards of the fugitive, but he was immediately sur-
rounded by 40 men, who seemed determined to fight
in his defence, and they saw that it was vain to at-
tempt the arrest against such odds. " A Sub-In-
spector," writing to the Daily .1; xpress, says :
" Capture became impossible, and the constables
retired a short distance towards another party of
police, also in plain clothes, who were in the vicinity ;
having met with them, all the constables returned to
the place, and found a very large number of the
country people still collected, but they could not
again see Michael Hayes. A man was seen at the
some distance on horseback, who may have been the
culprit. The result, however, was that, one of the
police having been sent for a reinforcement, a large
party of constabulary arrived, and made search in
the place and the adjacent county for Hayes, but
without success."
This reminds us of the anecdote of Sir Philip
Francis, who repeatedly interrupted the intermin-
able story of a Royal Duke by the interjection,
" Well?"—" Well ?" " Well !" exclaimed his Royal
Highness, "What do you want ?" " Want ?—a
result, sir," answered Sir Philip. Here we have a
" result" which is nothing. It is natural to ask
why the two constables could not make a signal as
well as the friends of the culprit, so that their party
in the vicinity could come to their assistance. A
man was seen riding off on horseback, which might
be, and probably was, Hayes. Well, there are
mounted police, who have good, well-fed horses,—
why are they not brought into requisition for the
arrest of this great and daring criminal ? Daring
as he is, he is but an old man, and it is really very
disappointing that so splendid a body of young
athletic men, with such resources at their command,
should be so long bailed in such a pursuit. They
are sore at the comments of the press on their faiiure
in this case, and their advocates say they could de-
fend themselves, if it were proper for them to reply
in newspapers. But such a defence would be un-
availing. " Not words, but deeds" should be their
motto. Their only effective defender will be Hayes
as a prisoner. It is now 38 days since the murder
was committed. Of course, it is impossible that
the criminal could escape arrest so long, if the coun-
try people generally did not befriend him, and make
his cause their own. The Government have just
made another attempt to break down the combina-
tion, and induce the peasantry to betray the man
whom they are so infatuated as to regard as their
champion. The Gazette, published yesterday even-
ing, contains an announcement from Sir Thomas
Under Secretary, that the Lords Justices have of-
fered a reward of £3OO to any person or persons
who shall within one month give such information
as may lead to the arrest of Michael Hayes.
The murder of Mr. Fitzgerald has been terribly
avenged. Two men have died on the gallows for it,
and the mother of one of them (Walsh) has lost her
reason, and been sent to a lunatic asylum. While
he was hiding she was constantly on the watch, and
it was chiefly through her vigilance he escaped so
long. When arrested she exerted herself to get
him accepted as an approver. On the day of the
sentence she was seen the whole day passing up and
down before the Courthouse in a state of distraction,
crying "My son !my son !" When all hope of his
life failed her mind gave way, and she is now in the
Limerick asylum in a state of confirmed insanity.
An attempt to commit an agrarian murder, very
nearly successful, was made on Wednesday at
Strokestown. Mr. Walpole, who has charge of five
or six farms in that neighbourhood, has a steward
named Breheny, whom he was commanded, in a
threatening letter, to dismiss. He did not comply ;
and, in consequence, the steward was shot while
entering his own house. The charge consisted of
slugs, which penetrated his neck, back, and other
parts of his person.
The linen trade in all its branches flourishes in
Ulster, and there is a brisk demand and good pay
for labo'ir in connexion with it. The troubles in
American have redounded to the advantage of the
linen manufacturers and flax-growers. The Northern
Whig of this day observes :
" A very marked improvement has taken place
during the past week in the legitimate and trade de-
mand for linen goods of all makes. Up till the pre-
sent a good deal of the excitement which has existed
has been owing to the eagerness of the speculation
rather than the sober influence of healthy trade.
Now, however, it is apparent that the staple manu-
facture of the north of Ireland is destined toflourish
and enjoy a season of prosperity from the very
causes which paralyse the trade of Lancashire.
Linen yarns are substituted for cotton yarns ; linens
are being substituted for cottons; and the fearful
deficiency in the supply of the one material
is endeavoured to be mitigated, to some extent, by
drawing upon the limited resources of the other.
Should the experiment succeed, prices for linens,
especially the coarser fabrics, may confidently be
predicted to go higher, as the comparatively re-
stricted manufacture of Ulster would be a mere
morsel in the maw of the cotton trade. A strong,
steady, continued upward movement has prevailed
throughout the week in all descriptions of yarns,
and, notwithstanding the previous enormous rise in
prices (fully 40 per cent.), the past week has wit-
nessed a greater advance than had taken place's

menced, being on the range of line wefts about6o2,os

" It is not denied that the protection of the United
States Government would be extended to them in
such an event, but that protection could not be
effected at all times and in all places, nor provide
against those internal enemies whose unrestrained
language and manners are constantly increasing,
and who are but partially kept in subjugation by
the conviction that their masters are armed.

" I submit to you, sir, these observations, with
the request that you take them into consideration.

esteem. Count MEJAN,
" The Consul of France.
" Lieut. Weitzel, United States Engineer and Assis-
tant Military Commandant of New Orleans."

"Head-quarters, Department of the Gulf,
New Orleans, Aug. 14.
" Sir—Your official note to Lieut. Weitzel, assis
tant military commandant, has been forwarded to
me.
" I see no just cause of complaint against the order
requiring the arms of private citizens to be deli-
vered up. It is the usual course pursued in cities
similarly situated to this—even without an exterior
force in the neighbourhood.
" You will observe that it will not do to trust to
mere professions of neutrality. I trust most of your
countrymen are in good faith neutral, bat it is un-
fortunately true that some of them are not. This
causes the good of necessity to suffer for the acts of
the bad.
" I take leave to call your attention to the fact
that the United States force gave every immunity
to Mons. Bonnegrass, who claimed to be the French
Consul at Baton Rouge; allowed him to keep his
arms, and relied upon his neutrality ; but his son
was taken prisoner on the battle-field in arms
against us.
" You will also do me the favour to remember
that very few of the French subjects here have
taken the oath of neutrality, which was offered to
but not required of them, by my order No. 41;
although the officers of the French legion had, with
your knowledge and assent, taken the oath to sup-
port the constitution of the Confederate States.
Thus you see I have no guarantee for the good faith

of bad men.
I do not understand how it is that arms are
altered in their effectiveness by being ' personal
property,' nor do we see how arms which serve for
personal defence (' qui ne peuvent servir qui pour
leur defence personelle'), cannot be as effectually
used for offensive warfare.
" Of the disquiet, which you say there are signs
manifesting themselves among the black popula-
tion, of a desire to break the bonds which binds
them to their masters (` certaines disposition a
rompre les liens qui les attachent a leurs maitres'),
I have been a not inattentive observer without won-
der, because it would seem natural, when their
masters had set them the example of rebellion
against constituted authorities, that the negroes,
being an imitative race, should do likewise.
" But surely the representative of the Emperor,
who does not tolerate slavery in France, does not
desire his countrymen to be armed for the purpose
of preventing the negroes from breaking the bonds.
" Let me assure you that the protection of the
United States against violence, either by negroes or
white men, whether citizens or foreign, will con-
tinue to be as perfect as it has been since our advent
here, and by far more, manifesting itself at ail
moments and every where pour les instants et par-
tout'), than any improvised citizens' organisation
can do.
" Whenever the ',inhabitants of this city will, by
a public and united act show both their loyalty and
neutrality, I shall be glad of their aid to keep the
peace, and indeed to restore the city to them.

A further communication on the subject has been
received from Messrs. Phillips and Son, in which
they state the readiness of their client on certain
moderate terms to make his invention public, so as
to save the trade of the country from the time that
would be lost in the preliminaries of a patent :
" Sir,—We shall be glad if you will allow us te. state that
the insertion of our letter respecting the supply of cotton in
the Times of the 28th of August has been responded to by
many gentlemen and eminent firms, and otherwise attended
with very gratifying results.
" The material produced by our client has been submitted
by him to the inspection of Mr. James Hardy Wrigley,
of Southport, as one of those who responded and a compe-
tent authority on the subject, ant, so far, the expectations
entertained of the article are completely confirmed.
" To finally establish, however, its practical value, and
render it available in the promptest manner, our client has
addressed to Mr. Wrigley a communication, of which we
send you the accompanying copy, in which he engages to
make his secret public property and states tho conditions
on which he is prepared to do so.
" Our client's views and desires are sufficiently disinte-
rested to make pecuniary reward a consideration of secon-
dary importance under the circumstances, and hence we
make no doubt the co-operation required will soon be se-
cured, and shall be glad to receive comet cations from
those willing to afford it in the way propised.
" Your very obedient servants,

Sir,—Since your first letter was to hand I have re-
ceived some very advantageous offers of assistance from
various parties, but it has o3curred to me that a consider-
able period must elapse before the completion of my patent,
and, consequently, before I should be able openly to manu-
facture the raw material ; the season would be rapidly pass--
ing away; neither should I be able to produce a sufficient
quantity for present purposes; nor could the granting of
licenses take effect for some time.
