ANOTHER IRISH BRIGADE.

The following suggestive announcement appears
in the Morning News :
" It will be seen by an advertisement which we
publish to-day from the major commanding the
Irish battalion, that all officers and non-commis-
sioned officers of that body are requested forth with
to report themselves in writing to him. Our gallant
and distinguished countryman was in Dublin yes-
terday, and one cf his first visits on reaching town
was to see two soldiers of the battalion now lying
in St. Vincent's Hospital, not yet recovered from
their wounds and the effects of Piedmontese prisons.
The sight of 11Iajor O'Reilly had a touching effect
on the poor fellows, who seemed deeply moved at
this evidence of his genuine interest in his men.
He remained some time with them, chatting over
the events of the campaign, and on coming away
received their warmest expressions of gratitude.
We may mention that Major O'Reilly met yester-
day, by appointment, several of the gentlemen who
acted on behalf of the Brigade at its first formation,
and was engaged with them for some time in refer-
ence to the affairs of the battalion. We are sin-
cerely happy to state that our gallant countryman
is in the best health and spirits."

Subjoined is the advertisement referred to in the
foregoing
" Pontifical Battalion of St. Patrick—Officers and
non-commissioned officers of St. Patrick's Battalion
are requested to communicate by letter (giving their
address) with Major O'Reilly, Knockingin, Bal-
briggan, Ireland."

In a long letter headed "Anglican Interme,ddling"
the News labours to prove that certain agents of
the Ultramontane faction in England are busy at
Paris intriguing against the national character of
the Irish Brigade ; in other words, endeavouring to
have the body officered by Englishmen, in case it
should be again called into existence, the proba-
bility of which contingency is more than hinted at.
The News says :
" We know that an urgent desire exists on
the part of the Minister of Arms in Rome to
have a large body of Irish troops. We know
that—under influences which, with due respect,
we believe to be, in this case at any rate, inju-
rious (in effect) to the interests of the Holy Father,
he has manifested an objection to recogniiing
the nationality of a brigade composed of Irish-
men. We have the best authority for stating
the fact. We know that those English gentle-
men whose valour ambitioned the officering
of mere Irishmen, but was not equal to the pinch
of joining the brave Guides, have the desire and
the pecuniary means of turning the generous enthu-
siasm of our people for the Holy Father to their
own account in this way. We know that should
Irishmen be induced to proceed to Rome under
such auspices, and, finding themselves made mere
implements of, fall into irregularities or miscon-
duct, all the odium and reproach would be cast on
the name of Ireland—cast on us by the very per-
sons who lured our men to Italy without the assent
of their natural guales, and without undertaking
or guarantee as to their treatment or position, in-
dividual or collective."

Waterford has done the thing handsomely by

the Brigade, as appears by the following letter from
Dr. Cullen to the Mayor of the Urbs intacta

Dublin, Nov. 17.

"My dear Mr. Mayor,—l beg to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter enclosing a bill on the
National Bank for £230, subscribed by the citizens
of Waterford to the Irish Brigade fund. I shall
hand the amount to the committee, and I am con-
fident that all will unite in awarding the highest
praises to the generosity of the contributors. As
to any arrangements you may have made in Water-
ford, undoubtedly the committee will approve
them, as their only anxiety is to do honour to the
Brigade, our brave countrymen who fought in de-
fence of justice and truth, of God and religion,
against anarchy, sedition, perfidy, public robbery,
and scandalous infidelity. Everything that we do
to promote their interest is a declaration that we
syminthise with the cause for which they fought,
and that our feelings are with the Pope, and with
the cause of God and the Church, which he so
worthily represents.
" Wishing you every happiness, I have the
honour to be, with the greatest esteem, your obe-
dient servant, " t PAUL CULLEN.
" To the Mayor of Waterford."
