The Morning Post editorially asserts that
the American Government is strongly op-
posed to the Fenians, and would do all its
power to defeat them it says that President
johnson and Secretary Seward are animated
by the most friendly sentiment towards
England, and the latter has communicated
the Fenian movements to the British cabinet.
Neither the British public nor government
will readily forget Stewards honorable and
amicable conduct.

ment will collapse and be settled in bene-

New York, Oct. ID.
The Times of to, day says, the steamers
City of Boston and Erin, which sailed from
this Port on Saturday, are said to have taken
out million dollars in bonds, for the use
Of the Embryotic Irish Republic. 1t is cur
rently reported that as soon as those bonds
reach Ireland, matters will assume more
definite form. A proclamation also printed
here, will be spread abroad and cast
throughout the land, so we'll guarded, in
every avenue, that there is no possibility Of
the British Government obtaining the docu-
ments, or interfering with the plan. 1t is
claimed that the bonds have nearly all been
subscribed by many people whom the
government least suspects. On the other
hand; the British Government claim to have
knowledge of all the bonds and have an
agent on board the steamers in question,
who will at the proper time seize and turn
them over to the Home Government. In all
probability both of these steamers will be
thoroughly searched before going to Queens
town, at least before any passengers, or
freight is allowed to land war vessels are
by this time stationed at Queenstown for
this express purpose.
