Arrest of decentralization sttil RISING
By an Express run by HARNDES 4 Co. from
Boston, we received yesterday the news by the
steamship BRITANNIA, which arrived at Boston on
Saturday evening, after a stormy passage OF lo5
DAYS. having left Liverpool on the 18th ult
Among the passengers in the Britannia were
ey. Gov. TuRooP Of this State, Hon. HORACE
Mann of Boston, H. D. MAXWELL, Esq. Of Eas-
ton. Pa, and Mr.. MARK, Consul General of Prus-
sie. There were ninety-sight in al.
The name of Mr.. WEED, Of Albany, we regret
not to find on the list.
The news is important. C'CoNSELL has been
arrested by the British Government for nothing
but peaccably holding meetings to petition Parlia-
ment for peaceful Repeal of the Leg slative In
ion between Great Britain and Ireland. Thus
Torvsm in England has accomplished what Loco
Focoism has done in this Countrywide virtual
suppression of the Right of Petition, whenever 1t
shall be exercised IN favor Of an object which the
ruling power does not approve.
This unjust and illegal movement Will give a
great impetus TO the cause of Repeal every where.
O,CopneIl has given ball. and issued frocla-
nation entreatng the Repealers every where to
be patient, peaceful and forbearing. The People
heartily respond to this caution. If he and they
but maintain their present attitude, their triumph
cannot be far Off
The Cotton Market has evinced extraordinary
activity, with decided advance. This will be
good news to the growers and holders in this
country.
Cotton fell on the receipt Of the last news from
this country by the steamship of the 9TH ult.
France is tranquil. SPAIN is becoming SO.
Wales is disturbed. GREAT BRITAIN is compare
lively busy and prosperous. The treaty with
CHINA has been ratified on all hands. DR.. PuSey
has returned to Oxford, with his health restored.
SrAN-Rumors have been afoat that Cadlz,
Carthagcna and Marcia had pronounced. San
Sebastian was about to follow the example OF
Saragossa There we're fears of an encounter on
the 26th, but up to the 9th all was tranquil.
u We publish the Letter Of our Anti Repeal
correspondent in London without omission or mu-
tlation. 1t will be seen that he considers the
rest of O'ConneH the end Of Repeal Wait
while, and see whether he is not mistaken. 1.-The
Is not, we are.
The steps that preceded the arrest of O'Con-
nell were as follows: A great meeting had been
announced to be held at Clontarf on Sunday, the
Sth ult. 1t was expected to be one of the largest
meetings ever held in Ireland. De Gray, Lord
Lieutenant Of Ireland, issued proclamation Tor
bidding it, on the ground of its being sedltleaas'
illegal. &c. Committee of the Repeal Asso-
citation was immediately called, and, on the ad-
vice of O'Connell, the meeting at Clontari coun-
demanded. The proclamation OF O'Connel re-
ouesting the Irish to abstain from assembling at
Clontarf, and submit peacefully to the authorizes
was accompanied with every effort TO prevent
them coming together. On Sunday all the
guards of the city were doubled, and at III
o'clock the whole garrison was drawn up at
Clontarf At every corner were excited multi
tudes reading the Lord Leutenants proclama-
ton and O'Connell's notice. The streets were
thronged with men driven hither and thlthcr by
the troops, cannon were loaded and their muz
zles pointed towards Dublin and the matches
fixing.
But the people, it is said, did not fear them
much, but tainted them with " insulting the
people" In the midst of the people in car
rode Mr. Thomas Steele, head Pacifcator III Ire
land bearing green branch and reiterating the
word home The crowd slowly moved off, This
was on the 9Th. On the 9th and llth great re-
peal meetings were held in Dublin, at which Mr..
O'Conne presided The following letter to the
people of Ireland, designed, it is said, to have
been read at the Clontarl meeting, was published
immediately after the proclamation Of the Lord
Lieutenant.
