The Irish News

The first report Of the telegraph concerning the
Cambria's news, it viii be seen by the dispatches
we publish this morning, were unfortunately too
true. The scheme Of the Government to force the
confederates into premature rebellion before their
plans were matured has been crowned with the
success which might have been expected. The
scattered parties Of insurgents who attempted to
resist at different points, without concert of action
without military leaders, probably many of them
without arms, were beaten and dispersed Yet we
are by no means Of opinion that the Irish are
thoroughly subdued or that the spirit of insurrec-
ton is efectually crushed After a few weeks,
when the harvest shall have been collected, and a
uniform plan of action adopted through the whole
country, the people will strike another and surer
'blow, and we are much mistaken if the British
Government does not find it rather more difficult
than it supposes to retain nation in slavery which
Is determined TO be free.
1t must be recollected that all the accounts we
have yet had Of the recent events in Ireland have
come to us through British channels, and we all
know how much credit can be given to statements
put forth by the Tory journals of England. When
the truth reaches us, we may discover that the
Government has not achieved so easy a victory as
do not believe hat the people betrayed cowardice
nor do we believe that Meagher fled inglorously to
the mountains at the first sight of danger. When
we receive confirmation of these things from credi-
bic sources we may believe them, but not till then
acan we persuade ourselves of their truth But
even though the Irish patriots may have been de-
feated in a few skimishes, it does not follow that
the contest is at an end. When at Lexington, in
the year ITS, a few mtiamen were slaughtered
by the British troops, and their comrades dispersed
by the chvalrous Major Pitcairn, it was thought
the spirit Of resistance in the colonies was crushed
for overland that the Government troops would only
have to traverse the country in order to compel the
Americans to return to their allegiance What an
error this was 1t is not for us now TO repeat when
all the world knows the result; but even as the
British Government was mistaken then so may it
be deceived now. A few skirmishes, a riot, or a
mob does not decide the fate of a nation. If the
rebels had been at first victorious it would have
been ridiculous to consider the struggle at an end
and as success is upon the other side it is no more
reasonable to come to any such conclusion. More
blood viii yet have to flow before Ireland be free,
or her chains more firmly riveted.

GEN. CAMERON AND Mr.. BR owN.-A serious
difficulty has occurred at Washington, it seems be-
tween Senator Cameron and Mr. c. Brown, both
members of Congress of Pennsylvania.
Gen. Cameron warmly opposed the nomination Of
Victor Piolet as Paymaster, and Mr.. P was reject
ed. Subsequently, during Gen. C. s temporary alb
sence from Washington, Mr.. P.'s name was again
sent in, and his appointment confirmed. This dis
courtesy Gen. Cameron attributed to the action OF
Mr.. Brown, and meeting him afterwards in the
Hall of the House of Representatives, upbraided
him in language of the strongest description.

Correspondence of the New York Journal of Commerce
From Venezuela

PoRTo CABELLo, July 90, l84S.-I have to in
form you that portion of the Paez, or rather Con-
stutional Squadron composed of eight vessels, ap-
peared off this harbor on Tuesday, the 18th inst,
causing much alarm to the Monagas party here,
for fear that landing of troops might be effected
upon the coast. Nothing of the kind, however, has
occurred. The squadron has confined itself to the
seizure of three four small craft belonging to this
port. But the principal object in view, it is pre-
sumed is to intercept three vessels Of the called
Government party, now repairing at the island OF
Curacao, on their return here.
The British mail packet g Larne " arrived from
ST. Thomas yesterday, and brings us the intelligence
of Gen. Paez being yet at that island. His views
in reference to future movements are not known to
the public. We have obtained no later news from
Maracaibo than that communicated in my last. II
may not be amiss to observe that the constitutional
party continue to maintain a complete naval ascen-
dency, and it is not probable that Monagas will be
able 10 send out any force whatever against it, at
least for some time TO come.
