dressed the following letter to the Rev DIR. Spratt,
Roman Catholic clergyman
Very Reverend and Dear Sir: / pray you to
tender the enclosed acceptance to Mrs John Nit
chel for herself and children. The miserable state
to which the country has been reduced by the union
and the different phases of bad government to which
we have been subjected, prevents my offering more
TO that unhappy lady. Very sincerely and respect
fully yours, CLoNcURRY"
Drogheda has sent forward the sum of ESQ. The
Rev. Dr. Blake, Roman Catholic Bishop of Down
and Conner, has sent to and in his letter enclosing
that sum to Z. e. Duffy, says: His (MtchePs)
character, whatever may be said of the bqdness of
his expressions aspirations, is now certainly clear
of all suspicion of selfish views, and has SO much
of the heroic in it that it rather commands admira
ton than iustiiies criticism"
Although John Mitchell is now drawing out a mi
SCRABBLE existence convicted felon,'' the gov
eminent cannot entertain the idea that it has
subdued the repeal ardor On the contrary, it is
evident that the great difficulty yet to come. The
Protestant part of the population coming forward
rapidly and enthusiastically to aid the cause.

and advocating direct resort to arms, was sub

proved of. This document is to be laid for final

From all can learn, and Judging from the infurate
tone of the repeal press, the sentence of Mr. Mitchell
does not appear hold the slightest prospect of
an abatement in the fierce agitation which sprang
up contemporaneously with the publication of the
United Irishman. The influence of Cancellation
Hall, and the moral force humbug having been
long since scattered to the four winds of heaven,
the journals hitherto the organ Of Old Ireland
ism. are mending their tactics, by bouncing upon
the conviction of Mr.. Mitchell as an all-sufficing
reason for the obliteratlon of past feuds and tho
rough amalgamatlOn of the discOrdant elements
into which the once formidable Repeal party had
been split by the memorable secession of 1885,
s.,r. France.

about three weeks the committee will conclude its
labors, SO that the project will be brought before

1t is said that the legitinists becoming very

were to support Henri Cinq in consideration that
