BUFFALO, June a. lSG6.-TO he officers
dad soldiers Of he L,sh army IN Bgdalo-
BROTHERS: Orders having been received
from President ROBERTS requesting you 10
return to your homes, it becomes my duty
TO promulgate said order in this Depart
ment Having been but day or two among
You, and witnessed with pride your manly
bearing and soldierly conduct in refraining
from all acts Of lawlessness on the citizens
Of tins city, it grieves me TO part with you
so soon. / had hoped to lead you against
the common enemy Of human freedom, and
would have done so had not the extreme
vigilance Of the Government OF the United
Statcs frustrated our plans Il was the
United States, and not England, that i'm
peded our onward march TO freedom. Re
turn 10 your homes for the present, with the
conviction that this impediment will soon
he removed by the representatives Of the
nation. BE firm in your determination TO
renew the contest when duty calls you forth.
Let your present disappointment only
prompt YOU 10 renewed energy in the future.
BE patient, bide your time, organize your
strength, and as liberty is your watchword,
81 will finally be your reward. In leaving
this city where YOU have bountifully shared
the hospitality Of its citizens, ] beg of yOu
20 maintain the same decorum that has char
acterizcd your actions while here. In is
suing this order cannot refrain from re
turning my thanks 10 Gen. BARRY for his
marked courtesy while IN the discharge Of
his duty a an officer and gentleman.

Brig. Gen. Comd'g Irish Army at Buffalo.

sCANLAN.
BUFFALO, June l4.-On behalf of the
Irish army which has rendezvoused in this
city for the past few days, the undersigned
beg to return their most profound gratitude
To- the citizens Of Buffalo
Coming among YOU as strangers, and stig-
matized by those in British interests the
courtesy and aid'you have so generously ex-
tended, Is therefore the more appreciated,
aud is characteristic of that indomitable
love of liberty which Is prominent feature
in the American people. Those who have
thus shared your hospitality, are now COM
pcllcd 10 return 10 their homes without ac-
complshing the object dearest TO their
hearts, and for which they were ready to Of
fer up their lives
That the present effort has failed is simp-
ly owing not to the British bayonct, but 10
the extreme anti-Republican measures
adopted by Government officials in main
tanning neutrality which has long since
been ignored by England and which the
American people are under no obligations
10 in any way enforce its stipuiations. As
the issue is freedom against despotism, we
hope ere long, with the aid Of true men in
Congress, 10 be in a position TO wipe off
every vcstige Of British rule and interest, not
only in ireland, but on this continent. In
conclusion, it affords MS pleasure that the
conduct Of the men has been such As not TO
disgrace the cause and to merit your general
approval. Very respectfully,
J. w. FITZGERALD
MICHAEL SEAMAN.
