Referring to despatch from Cincinnati, da-

tionGL Intelligencer of this morning, to the
purport, that nine Irishmen had been arrested
and held to bail in that city for violation, of
the neutrality laws, we may remark that we
saw yesterday despatch Of the same date
from Cincinnati. which confirms the arrest of
nine Irishmen, and states that about ten or
eleven more would be arrested on that day,
and calls them Irish conspirators We do
not fully understand what was intended to be
conveyed by the term 81 Irish conspirators"
The despatch to which we refer proceeds
also to state, that the "books, minutes, and
papers Of the conspirators were seized, and
that Roman Catholic priests were implica-
ted" and that other high persons seem to be
implicated. We shall await with some inter-
est full account of the matter, and trust that
we may soon learn tohat parties were arrested
and implicated, and the nature and objects Of
the conspiracy" imputed to them. If there
has been conspiracy" in which Catholic
priests are implicated, let the country know
