neIand in RebelliOn-ShaII we Grant Belli-
geTenI Rightsf

The news from Ireland is very important The
writ OF hdbedS corpus has been suspended by
special act of Parliament and the whole coun-
try has thus been declared in state of rebellion.
This extreme measure appears to have been
adopted in consequence of the rumored depar-
ture OF Fenian privateer from America.
In this particular instance the report was a
hoax, though in the end 1t may possibly prove
only premature. The Fenians in this country
were greatly excited over the news, as will be
seen in another column, and meetings were i'm
mediately held in every quarter to make ar
rangements to meet the emergency.
Ireland now occupies the same position
towards England which the Southern States
occupied towards the United States during our
own Rebellion. The question which mast now
come before the statesmen having charge OF the
anairs Of our Government is, whether it is right
for the United States, in the present hour OF
England's distress to jump at the chance and
recognize the Irish as bellgerents-whether we
should make efforts TO stop any privateers leav-
ing this country, or wait and see il Ireland will
gain her independence before recognizing her
at all.
Were we to adopt the policy of Earl Russell,
the commerce of England would be obliged to
change its flag, and sail under American colors,
as the United States flag had to be changed and
our vessels 10 sail under English colors during
our own troubles. The parallel character Of the
two cases is felt at last even in the English Par
lament; for simultaneously with the Govern
ment announcement that the habeas corpus act
was to be suspended, Mr.. Labouchere gave notice
in the House Of Commons that on the l3d of
February, he would call attention ito the made
quacy of the neutral laws to enable England to
fulfil her international obligations towards
foreign countries." When the Alabama steamed
out OF Liverpool, and the British ship Sea King
alias the Shenandoah, started from O British
seaport on her piratical cruise, nothing was said
then about the 'inadequacy OF neutral laws
To Minister Adams remonstrances Earl Russell
replied that England "could not make new laws
TO meet every new emergency But rebellion
in his own kingdom has made q wonderful DIFF
ference in John Bulrs estimate of the duties OF
neutral nations to friendly powers.
: Meanwhile the question remains What course
will the United States Government adopti This
is point which not only England, but other
European powers, may discuss with interest and
profit because what happened here and what
has happened in Ireland is likely TO happen to
any one of them. There is quaint old saying

BALTIMORE, March 2.-Immense fields of ice,

The Union meeting at the Front Street Thea
tire last night, to support the reconstruction
policy of Congress, was largely attended, and
harmonious. William j. Albert presided.
There were no indications of desire to divide
the Union party, but on the other hand 'all
10y alists were asked to unite against traitors,
Rebels and Copperheadq, and to oppose their
having official positions in our national councils.
President Johnson's previous sayings, that
none but true loyalsts should rule, and that
traitors should be punished, were fully en-
dorsed. The real bone and sinew of the masses,
mostly of the working classes, were present.
