Right Reverend Doctor Doyle, Catholic Bishop of
Kildare, to Mr. Dunno, Secretary to the Kildare
Catholic Rent
Old Derig, Sep 10, 1924.
Dear Sir,-I am greatly indebted to the good
people OF Kildare for the expression of their thanks
to me, conveyed in your very oblgng letter of this
month.
81 am happy to find that the late general dis

who suffered as well as those who administered re
lief, resolved to collect The Catholic Rent.
great characteristic Of the Irish people is
patience IN distress Our spirit has not yielded to
oppression and like the ruins of our ancient great

what we were and excites us to exerlion, that we

accordingly stated ia the official accounts not TO

his despatch, presses for supply OF fre-ships, IN
order that he might complete the destruction OF the
remainder of the Turkish vessels, before they re
covered from the panic and he then proposes to
encounter the Egyptian fleet. There seems to be
every probability that the Greeks will very speedily
annihilate the Turkish marine, unless the unhappy
conflict with England should retard their success.
The proclamation Of the Ionian government, had
excited great sensation in London. letter, II is
said had been addressed to Mr. Canning on this sub

and il was reported that the minister had expressed
in The most unequiyocal terms his good wishes Tor
the Grecian Cause.
All the material facts in the Greek Admirars des.
patch were confirmed by German papers, which
likewise contained the report that the Egyptian fleet
had been dispersed partly by storm, and partly
by the Greeks, and had retired to Gambia 1t appears
that the Persian war had actually been renewed,
which the Turks were wholly unprepared for. This
unlocked for occurrence, connected with the revolts
in Syria had so multiplied the difficulties OF the OF
tomans, that the overthrow OF the throne OF the Sui

the views Of the Porte, gives account OF second
battle (of which lately had reports by the way of
Smyrna) between the conjoined Egyptian * Tur-

King replied, that he was not prepared 10 turn to

The Chaplain was appealed 10, and he was OF the
same opinion with the Queen Rochester suspect

chaplain, slid out OF the room TO inquire among the
servants, it any Of them copversant with the
Bible.-They named David the Scots cook, who
always carried a Bible about him; and David being
called, recollected both the text and where 10 find

returned to the King. This text was still the topic
OF conversation; and Rochester moved to call in
David. who, he said, he found was we'll acquainted
with the Scriptures. David appeared, and being
asked the question: produced his Bble and read the
'ext' (Judgesix l3) The King smiled, the Queen
asked pardon, and the chaplain blushed. Roches-

text since It was produced; but he was mute. He
therefore requested David to interpret il, who i'm

three OF their irigates, besides small vessels and
capturing so transports. The object of the barba-

CUBAsGEn1E.'
From Africa most foully torn,
And hurried DER the wide-wide sea-
0 how my heart with Joy would beat,
To see its plains, SO dear to me
Twas there, Fathers, Mothers care
Watch'd DER my childhood tenderly;
And ever, with my growing years,
Their love became more dear to me.
Twas there, in boyhood's happy days,
ran, leap'd augh'd. with hearty glee,
And found charm in every spot,
That made those scenes most dear to me.
Twas then, my Zara's innocent smile
Caught my young heart and there that We,
Year after year, have lived and loved:
And is not lara dear to me?
And there the pledges of our love,
Beneath the widespread cola tree,
Have played in artlessness and Joy,
And made my home thrice dear to me.
And yet the white man coldly asks
The Christian, pious. kind, and free
The husband, father, asks to know,
II Africa is dear to me
Ask thy own heartily wife-thy friends
Thy children they shall answer thee
Most dear, yes, dearer than my life,
Is home, sweet smiling home, to me.
O send me- then--O send me home
Graved on my heart thy name shall be,
And Heaven for thee shall hear my prayer,
In that loy'd Land, SO dear to me-

Ertract Of letter from an american officer on
board u s. ship John adams, to his friend in
BaHimors, dated
"PAssAGE ISLAND, Nov. 10th, 1924.
lou Will, no doubt hear great noise abou,
Commodore PoRTER taking Spanish Town in
Porto Rco--the Circumstance are briefly these:
The Governor, imprisoned the commander Of one
ot the small schooners under his command and
allowed him to bc grossly inSulted-As soon as he
heard OF 1t, Commodore Porter proceeded there
with two schooners aud the boats and part of the
crew OF this shlp-he took two OF their batteries,
spiked the guns, and marched with TWO hundred
men to the town (Foxanda) about two miles in The
interior-he there found the Spaniards drawn up 10
give HIM battle, halted his within pistol shot
OF their forces, sent flag ordering the Governor
and the captain Of the port, the two principal offend
ers, to come to him and make attonemept or have
their town burnt-they chose the first, and in pre-
senee OF all our officers, begged pardon Of The off,
Ger nsulted, expressed great penence and prom
iSed 10 future TO respect all American officers, who
might hereafter visit the place.
1.-The Commodore then marched into the town
merely to show them he had them in his power,
and then returned to the boats and left the place.
No disturbance took place, and not man left the
ranks from the time they landed until they embark
ed, having been more than three hours from their
vessels. Self defence rendered it necessary 10
spike their guns, and this is all they can complain
of-they had by some means been appraised Of our
intention OF visiting them. The population of the
place is about two thousand--the country very
thckly settled-Before we left them, a force Of
three times our number, with field piece, had as
sembled, and in presence of, and within pistol shot
OF this force, the Commodore made them humble
