SECOND EDITION.

EVENING MAIL OFFICE, 12 o'cr.ocK.

We stop the Press to state, that it is said an Express has
been received at the Association Rooms, announcing that
Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald had resigned yesterday, at Four
o'clock, and that consequently Mr. O'Connell had been
declared elected. The fact has- not readied this Office;
but our readers are prepared fer such an occurrence.

(Prom the Dublin Freeman's Journal.)

ENNIS, SUNDAY NICHT, 12 O'CLOCK.

The streets at ills moment are crowded to excess, in the
expectation of Mr. O'Connell's arrival. Several troops at
cavalry an 4 infantry have arrived by forced marches here
this day, and also several pieces of cannon, ordered from
Athlone ; but notwithstanding which 1 am happy to in,
feria you that every thing remains quiet.

GORT, SUNDAY EVENING.

If 1 may use the expression, " tremendous" prepara-
tions are made in (Ilse there should he any rioting or dis-
turbance. There are at least 3,000 troops surrounding
Ennis. A company from Athlone, en forced march, are
now passing through this town, having been ordered off
at almost an instant's notice, and. the Barrack-master of
this town has just got orders to have quarters for tw•
troops of cavalry, who are to march in at day-light to-
morrow morning, on route to Ennis. If any untoward
circumstance should arise, it is too much to be feared that
Peterluo will be but a sham fight to what may he expected
here. You, hear no other name as you pass along but
O'Connell'e. The report here is, that there was rioting
in Ennis yesterday. -
It is not supposed the Ministerial Candidate will be able
to poll one hundred in all. The Sheriff is determined, at
least as far as he has gone as yet, to act fairly, and with
strict impartiality ; and as to the assessor, the very name
of Mr. Keatinge is a pledge of his impaitiality and unbend-
ing integrity. Mr. Fitzgerald seemed to admit the title of
Mr. O'Connell, if elected, to take his seat in the House,
and to vote there also. The Right Hon. Gentleman
pledged himself to take no advantage of Mr. O'Connell's
religion, This was, at all events, candid.
You cannot conceive, much lest can I describe, the ex-
citation which pervades every bosom here. The town is
full of useless military and police, who might be better
employed elsewhere, if the Government have any duty for
them. The streets are at this moment as silent; if not
more so, than Sackville-street, and the electors are deter-
mined not to taste spirituous liquors till their champion is
chaired.

TUESDAY MORNING-ELEVEN O'CLOCK.

The polling commenced at ten o'clock, and at this hour
Mr. O'Connell has received double the votes of his adver-
sary. Since the break of day Mr. O'Connell's tally-root
has been surroundeil by several thousand freeholders, who
continue to pour in from all parts of the country, in
coaches, ea, s, gigs, &c., preceded by hands of rustic mu-
sicians. Notwithstanding the unparalleled excitation of
public feeling, the slightest breach of the peace has not cc-
curred.—Victory is certain.

(From the _Dublin Morning Register.)

At a separate meeting of Catholics held yesterday at the
Corn Exchange, the Rev. Mr. L'Estrange produced a
lively sensation by announcing a letter from Mr. O'Con-
nell. It was one addressed to Mrs. O'Connell, and dated
at Ennis, at four o'clock on Monday morning. The fol-
lowing is the portion of it that related to public affairs :
"It is four o'clock. lam just twenty -four hours out of
bed. Such'a day was never known ! I spnhe to upwards
qffive hundred thousand persons from time to time. I
have every reason to be satisfied that Victory is certain."
The Rev. Mr. L'Estiange stated, that many accounts
sustained the opinion, that " Victory is certain." One of
the leading agents of Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald wrote to his
family, " that his heart was broken, and that there was not
the satisfaction of getting one promise from a freeholder
that could be relied upon."
