 very ridiculous movement has been ssartsd a New York, to effect repeal of the act of Congress Of i599, imposing ssye:e penalties upon any elsi oi the United States, who shall be guilty of kt ,iBg military expeditions against EAiions with whseh we are at peace. A petition has been hs nd- the Congress oi the United States. praying the peal of the '.no-interfereDee' act.
 All these act should be indignantly frowned dow by all good citizens, especially by those of Irish birth. To say nothing ol the folly and nalnsss o making the United States party 10 a quarrel be- tween lwo portions of Empire Nith which we are al peace which would be the inevitable result of inc repeal of the law of l799, what possible sdvan- tage 10 thc cause of Irish IadepeEdsBee can foss from such movements Ireland does bst Want mencr arms 10 achieve her liberty.
