New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1848-08-22
The News from Ireland.

The startling intelligence contained IN the let
tiers published 10 yesterdays Tribune has ere
ated no little stir throughout the City. We have
placed the original letters in the hands Of the sh
Directory, with statement Of the writer's name
occupation, aud probable means Of information
To the gentlemen comprising that body, reference
may be made by those who wish farther Particu-
lars on the subjec. The writer Of the letter has
brother residing in New York, whom we also
named and introduced to the Directory.
We make no comments on the news but we
assert tina, the author Of the letter wrote IN the
fall conviction of the truth Of bis statement
The general opinion Of those conversant with the
state OF things in Ireland is that whatever may be
tb. facts of the case there is no doubt bot that
these letters give the current belief Of the people IN
Dublin The improbable and conflicting chsrsc-
ter Of the English accounts, affords, we think, very
good evidence Of desire 70 conceal the true char
acter Of the news.
The following extract from the leading editorial
Of the Dublin Plot Of the day on which the letter
was written, seems to hint at the possession OF Sc
cret intelligence or the knowledge Of important
runors, the mention Of which was prevented by
the Censorship. In any case, il stands in open
contradiction 10 the English boast OF the revolt be-
ing suppressed and the country quiet aud orderly.

The possibility of Disgusting for time any in
telligence Of Importance, has not long since been
exsmplfed in the follow ing translation given by
the Russian journals to the account of the French
Revolution, which was for some time believed in
Warsaw:

The English authorities have adopted censor
ship not much less stringent than that of Russia,
over the Irish press, and it appears probable that
they would desire to conceal the fact Of severe
conflict in the hope Of concentrating the troops
and crushing the revolt before the remainder OF
Ireland could be aroused.
