SYMPATnY FOR THE SEPoYs.--We had occasion
the other day to make some remarks concerning
tho merits of the English cause in India, and of
our sympathy with that cause. We also re-
marked upon the brawling of such misguided
refugees as John Mitchell, who are forever spout
ing their "toothlcss venom" against England, in
peace or war. From late Irish paper we cx-
tract the following remarks
s'Sweeter than the voice of love, sweeter than
the warm accents of friendship, dearer than the
mellowest sunshine of the heart, Is the news OF
English discontinue in India to the breasts of
the Irish people. They are delighted, rejoiccd,
and gladdened beyond measure lcdeR they hedr
Of the torture and humiliation Of their ancient
foe There is not a vessel of hers that is
wrecked there is not General of hers who is
slain, there is not battalion Of her service
which is routed and ovcrthrOwn, that the people
Of Ireland do not glory OCer with the greatest
satisfaction and delight. They are consequently
delighted By the intelligence reeeirel iron, the
Eat, where the forces of the Great Mognl are
pounding the armies of Great Britain. Wher-
ever England draws the sword lights the
match, Ireland prays for her defeat, and Mt no
time has she prayed more fervcntly in that way
than she does now, when the patriot Sep0ys IF
India are endeavOring to strangle the British
power, aud sweep it root and branch from the

civilization. 1t occurs to us that the following
iextract from the Paris correspondent of one of
our eastern exchanges is astrongcr rebuke than
any other that could be offered. 1t is just in
point:
