The New York Express says that Mr. Rob-
erts and his friends Of the Senate. intimate that
the document is bogus. The paper has, never
uneless, created a great stir amongst all the Fe-
mans, especially in New York.
[From the New York Tribunel
The Whereabouts of Stephens are still not TO
be made public. We are AT liberty TO STATE
however, that the reports of his being in
France, or in any other country than Ireland,
are entlrely without foundation. President
stephens Is, and has been ever since his escape
from British shackels, within less than one
mile from the place at which his arrest was ef-
fected. This we learn from good authority.
