America "produces uneasiness In some minds,
lest IL should In any way interfere with our
political and commercial relations"
The Dublin Erening Freeman intimates that
the headquarters of the Order (Fenian) have
been removed 10 England, and that about ten
thousand strangers have left Dublin for that
island
IRELAND.
In the language of the kilograms, " arrests OF
Fenians con tinue TO be made" The Govern
men, has moved with a rapidity that seemed to
take the Fenians by surprise. One newspa-
per says. If fully organized, they could not
have fallen into line" so suddenly did the
Government pounce down upon them.
Many of the persons arrested are said to be
recently from America. In Cork, out of n
hundred and fifty arrests third We're from
America. In Dublin, the main body arrested
on the 18th Of February were from America,
and are complimented for their fine personal
appearance. These last were taken completely
by surprise Some of them were in bed. NO
time was given for communicating with
friends but they were hurried OFF to prison
Among the arrests were PATRICK J. NCDOS-
NELL Vice Head Centre of ireland, and sue
cessor to STEPHENS. This is thought to be
great dow 10 the very
ishing STErHESss means of communication,
and narrowing the limits between STEPHENS
and those who are seeking TO take him.
The Cork Reporter of the 22d reports the
arrest of three Fenian Centres in the
Charlevile District: JOHN Dunn, CoRSELIrs
RoHILLY, and Sullivan, mailer.
The Cork Examiner Of the 2lst reports the
arrest of the brothers GLEEsoS, one of them
q brigadier. general of the Federal army, and
the other a captain in the late war. The
Generali is reported as 4 man of extraordinary
stature. In Dublin, ID. j. MYKISs, staff of
the One Hundred and Seventieth regiment,
United States army, and ESEAs DoHERTY,
aid de. camp to General OWENS, United States
army, We're arrested; at the same time, were
taken upwards of forty who described them
selves as American citizens. These Americans
will no doubt appeal strongly 10 Mr.. ADAMS,
our Minister.
Archbishop Cullen, of Dublin, had issued 4
strong circular against the Fenian movement
warning his countrymen against "foolish
hopes" and fallacious promises Of Fenian-
ism, ending in "miserable existence among
felons, in all the horrors of penal servitudc. -
He adds:
Had not Fcniauism been checked In its
destructive career. it would have deluged the
country with infdelity; and, initiating Vol
taire and his impous followers, it would have
prepared the minds of the people for the bar
barous scenes which were enacted in France
in the last century"
The army was closely criticised upon the
suspicion of Fenianism in its ranks, and so in
various departments of the public service
The movement comes hard upon the Irish
,rbp II do
Many of the Fenians convicted III Ireland
are placed in the model prison III Pentonville,
one of the suburbs of London.
1t is supposed that many Of the persons
arrested OH suspicion will be liberated on
examination. OF the number, nothing is stated
to enable us to form an estimate; but 1t must
be large.
IN FRANCE,
The Paris Potrie semi official considers the
"Irish revolt as u protest against the despo,
tism of England" and adds: might will
finally prevail against right; but at present it
seems impossible" 1t concludes:
"The time is only the more opportune to
apprise the Irish that they cannot be aban-
doned by the really liberal organs OF French
opinion, and that all the sympathies Of true
men are accorded 10 that unfortunate people.
The Opinion Nrtionnie (Napolcons organl
speaks Of tho spreading and increasing power
of Fenianism, which Engmnd has at last
opened her eyes TO, and remarks:
A great crime has been committed against
Ireland, ,ohose penoNy England is poyi1ig to-dnp,
as the United States have iustnow paid that OF
slavery and the slave trade, and as the Papacy
is now paying for its immoderate love OF TEN.
England has but felt the point of the nettle
as vet, and it remains TO her, perhaps, TO feel
that Of the sword, whether it be in Ireland or
in Canada. That is the mystery of the future,
and we do not pretend TO unravel it.
But they uhe English) will pray for the
health of their beeves, and they will act with
all rigor toward poor Ireland. Such is the
logic of great sinners such is the consequence
of high treason against humanity, and such
the necessity devolving on power whether
rightly or wrongfully acquired.
Whether they succeed or not in checking the
Fenian insurrection, il is not by yiolence-as
John Bright nobly said i'll the House OF Com
mons-that the uniOnQ Qf Great Britain ond Ireland
con be consolidoted Jut bya ne,o policy aud byjn@
concessions TO the acantS IF the latter country.
