Parting Address of the State Prison
ers.-Previous to the departure Of the
leaders of the late insurrection, they placed
| in the hands Of a mutual friend the follow
! ing address to their fellow. countrYmen
'Fellow-countrymen-lf your efforts 10
procure a mitigation Of the penalties 10
which we are about to be subjected had
been as successful as you desired, we could
not have offered to you more sincere and
grateful acknowledgements than those which
| we now tender, for the sympathy and So
lcitude which you have displayed in our
| behalf
AT this moment, whilst we are bidding
our last farewell to our native land, the re.
Election that our fellow -countrymen have
not witnessed with Indifference our remov.
al from amongst them, is sweet source
of consolation, and be assured, that this re-
membrance will hereafter be n soothing
alleviation to whatever sul1erings it may
be our lot to endure.
Knowing that we address many who
do not concur with us in political opinions,
we do not feel ourselves at liberty to offer
any observations upon the policy by which
this country is governed-upon the policy
which gave occasion 10 our resistance to
British power-upon the policy which
now consigns US TO exile. We are com.
PEELED TO repress even the emotions which
we feel in rejecting upon the awful condi.
ton in which we leave the land that we
deeply loved nor is this fitting occasion
to point out the means by which IFS dis
asters may be repaired but we cannot re-
frain from the expression of hope that you
will not despair Of your country and we
may be permitted to offer to our fellow
countrymen parting exhortation, that
they will lay aside those unhappy dissen-
sions which have so long paraIized the
intrinsic strength of the Irish nation, and
henceiorth learn to love and conf6e in
each other.
we feel that it is not necessary to say
anything to YOU in vindIcation Of our mo-.
tives. Even those who most condemn our
conduct know that we have not been ami
mated by consideration ola personal nature
in hszarding all that was dear to us for the
sake of our native land but we owe it 10
our feelings to declare that, whatever may
be the sacrifices we incur by devotion to
It's interests, our latest aspiration will be a
prayer for the prosperity, the honor, and
independence of Ireland.

The New FORK papers Of Saturday con-
tain their usual one days later news, re-
ceived by Electric Telegraph from Lon
don TO Liverpool just previous to the sail
ing of the steamer. We take the follow
ing items from the Courier:
There are accounts from Rome to the
9Th instant. The city had not yet been
restored to its usual order. Crowds of The
disbanded Roman soldiers were wandering
about the streets in the greatest disorder
and destItulion. The French authorities,
who were establishing themselves, with as
little regard 10 the Romans as if Rome
were actually part of France, were busy
disarmlng the men, and establishing the
government of their own.
Letters from Rome of the 7th, which,
amongst other things, state, that the
French troops were well received in the
towns Of the neighborhood, where they
are in cantonments, particularly at Vlcter.
bo, where the municipal and the respect
able inhabitants went out TO meet them.
Advices from Berlin TO the 1Ith June
state that the negotiations for peace,
which have been so long pending between
the Prussian and Danish plenipotentiarIss,
were concluded yesterday. The general
conditions were drawn up on Saturday,
the 7th, and the initials OF the contracting
parties affixed to the several paragraphs.
but, in its complete form, the treaty was
no, definitely signed till last evening
The terms are honorable TO both parties.
From communications from Copenhagen

ratified by the Danish Government. An
armistice, and formal suspension of hos

days from the date of signature period
