The Fenian STEPHENS in Paris.


New YORK, December 15.-The Dublin Irish
man, of December -, has the following letter,
translated from the French:
"PARIs, November p.
I" Mr.. Editor,-I take the liberty of writing
to You these few lines to inform you that your
brave countryman, STEPHENS, who escaped SO
happily from Dublin prison, has arrived, safe
and sound, in Paris. He has even been seen
during the past two days, surrounded by nu-
merous friends, dining in one of the great
restaurants Of the Boulevard des Italiens 1t
is needless to tell you, Mr.. Editor, how the
world was delighted on hearing that Stephens
had escaped. We are all convinced that the
day is not far distant when Ireland shall
break forever the Saxon chains which have
kept her bound so long, and will resuscitate,
as they, and rs we all hope in France, great,
glorious and free.
I" have the honor to be, sir,

haired,
