e to desperation and outrage, do they imagine that
the people of England will stand quietly by and see every
interest of the country—its ships, colonies, and com-

FURTHER ARRESTS OF THE SEDITIONISTS
IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS.

The government have shown still more determination to
put an end to the Jacobin writings of the Dublin papers.
It will be seen from paragraphs elsewhere that informa-
tions have been filed against several of the repeal leaders,
and on Saturday and Sunday further arrests took place.
On Saturday evening last, at half- past eight o'clock,
Charles Gavan Duffy, the proprietor of the Nation news-
paper, when on his way home was arrested on sworn in-
formation for sedition, alleged to have been published in
the paper of that day. This gentleman is by far the most
influential and able of the sedition leaders. Mr. Duffy
was brought to College-street Police-office, and the ma-
gistrate, Mr. Tyndall, was shortly after in attendance, be-
fore whom informations were sworn, and Mr. Duffy was
infprmed that he was committed for trial at the ensuing
commission, to be held on the Bth of August.
Bail was offered, but the magistrate stated it was not in
his power to take it.

About half-past nine o'clock, Mr. Duffy left the Police-
office, in a covered car, for the gaol of Newgate, accom-
panied by the officer who arrested him, followed by an
outside car with police.
The Nation publishing office was entered by the police
when it was known that Mr. Duffy was arrested, and all
writings, documents, books of accounts, &c., and news-
papers, were carried off, and are retained by the police, in
whose custody they are to remain, the magistrate declining
to accede to the application for their restoration.
The Police-office, while Mr. Duffy was there, was
crowded. It is said that both he and Mr. Martin will be
tried by a special commission, for the purpose of bringing
them to a speedy trial.
On Saturday night, Denis Hoban, printer of the Tn ..
bune, was, subsequent to Mr. Duffy's committal, arrested
and sent to Newgate for trial on the above date.
On Sunday last, Richard Dalton Williams, of Mount-
pleasant Square, in the county of Dublin, and Kevin Izod
O'Doherty, of Hamilton-row, in the city of Dublin, pro-
prietors of " the Irish Tribune " were brought up on
sworn information before Mr. Tindall, the magistrate at
College-street Police-office, for publishing certain sedi-
tious articles in the publications of the Ist and Bth July
instant, and were committed for trial at the ensuing com-
mission, on the Bth August.
Mr. Tyndall was asked to admit them to bail, but re-
fused.
