events IN Paris have changed the current OF men S
thoughts. The unity, the fraternity Of the French
upbraids with our discussions, and breaches the
necessity Of union, thank Heaven, not without eff
feet. A / tends 20 a reconciliation Old and Young
Irelanders desire it. The Cork Confederate Club
has dissolved itself lest it might be obstacle 10

pledge against plsceh hunting though he considers
Il degrading to do so, and declared that he will re-
tire from the agitation rather than be hindrance

Since writing tho above, strange things have
happened Smith OBrien. J. T. Meagher, and
John Mitchell have been arrested on charge OF ex
citing seditlon---the last by his writings in the
United Irishman; = the two former by speeches
delivered in the Confederation and from one Of

Mesgher were on the eve Of departure for France

The Objectionable speeches to be printed and
circulated through bout the country AZ the expense
o. the Confederation, and the principles promu
gated in both are deliberately adopted by the So
se,y. Perhaps should mention what those prin.
eples are IL does not do to be taking it for
granted that the entire matter is understood in
America as It 10 at home. In the frs. place they
stsenuously advised union-union among all Irish

TIE sodiery and police; the practice OF hre arms

hired and weak ones defended; the formation OF

repeat the offence with aygravations.
