As to things here. they are fast ripening
TO final Issue between us and our DID, in
veterate foe You perceive that whatever
share we had OF British law, that, even that,
is withdrawn from Us. Lord John Russell
proposed, in the English House of Commons.
on Friday evening last. TO bring IN, on next
day, blii 10 suspend the Constitution in Ire
land, and TO enable the Lord Lieutenant to
arrest and put IN prison any one whom he
suspects Of sedItIouS proceedings, and, with
out trial, keep him or them there until next
March. 1t got three readings IN ten minutes,
and passed the House of Lords on Mon
day. Thus, you see, we are under the
most tremendous and absolute despotism.
Messrs. y Brien, Meagher, and OfGorman,
at once, and wisely, took their departure from
Dublin on Saturday, be ore the overthrow OF
all law should become (Enghsh) LAW. Mr..
Meagher went 70 Waterford Q Brien to Tip
perary, and O'Gorman to limerick and
they defy the British power to take them.
May God protect them You will see by
the papers how anxious the people there
for the struggle. They will die no more by
the slow torture of famine-while their olC7,
food is exported. There are 500 Detectives
tspiesl in Dublin; they found their way into
every club. The Government are in great
alarm. For instance, only last night all the
letter carriers were told to take leave of their
families. and 90 to the Post Office, stay up
all night, and bear arms. The Government
expected the revolution on that night. Near
ly the whole of our now large garrison
now. under arms all and most every night.
On Saturday last the authorities in Liverpool
had information that there were 5000 men
armed and ready 10 burn the docks and ship
ping in Liverpool if the Government attack
ed or fired on us. The Rife Regiment,
which had come over here on Saturday morn
ing, went back to Liverpool the same even
ing. They are concentrating the Army i'll
England on Liverpool, and swearing in spe-
cial constableS. The intention was here not
TO move until the harvest was in. The Gov
ernment want to provoke US before this, and
Mr.. Meagher had much to do to restrain tie
people In Waterford, where he was arrested.
If there was any thing at all of foreign ma
ture to embroi our foe, and take some of all
their power off US, we would be all right.
| believe the people We're never so we'll
armed. Think of Dublin being proclaimed
The arms are well hid. Although the proc
lamatIon is in operation now more than
week, dozen of arms has not been seized.
ln Dublin the people are more cautious than
in the country-but ready; they calculate
results more keenly. Ga yesterday the Gov
ernment denied TO Charles Gwen Duffy, the
Editor of the Nation, aud the other State
prisoners, all access or opportunity of seeing
their friends, and the prison has now IL
mounted guard of constabulary.
On yesterday morning, as early as O'Clock.
a large party of lancers left Dublin for the
country. 1t was not known what was their
destination until yesterday evening. They
were sent with a Government officer and a
warrant to arrest Mr.. OBrien! This will
be the great test. 1t is reported here just
now, he is encamped with thousands of Re-
pealers at Vinegar Hill.
Except the Government hold over unit
next March, under their new BILL the State
Trials in Dublin, they are to commence on
the 6th of August, One of the articles for
which the real martyr, poor Duffy, is in, is
where he proved that there was eighty mil
lions worth of produce now growing in this
land, and where he suggested that forty mil
lions would pay of all our liabilities, and
there would be forty millions for a young
nation to begin with. Lord John Rascal
commented strongly on this in his speech on
Saturday, in bringing in his bill. And yet
eastarve and perish of famine.
The Detectives are giving the Government
Ualue for their pay. This day, eight poor
fellows were sent to Newgate, for a conspIr-
aCy TO Kill three Superintendents of Police,
who made themselves obnoxious to the peO-
pie by their tyranny lately. The fellow who
turned traitor was a detective, aud who was
one of the cOnsplrators

sentative of the English Chartists, has been az
