REPORTS have been recently circulated that the
British West India feet had gone towards HALIFAX :
but II so, It would be even more readily available 70
had not moved eastward. For five or six thousand
men to 60 TO Campo Belo Island would be 10 run
into The very Jaws OF the lion. The British fleet
from Halifax would be able TO assault them IN
twenty iOur hours; and the Dlratica vessels
the deluded followers OF hilan but few could hope
to escape with their miserable lives. This second
story went ON TO say that number of men, in addi
ton to those IN the vessels, had gone 20 Maine,
whence they were to cross the once disputed from
tier; and when the united forces of landsmcn and
se0men got TO New Brunswick thev were to amuse
themselves by issuing prOcamatiOns and setting mp

CAMPO BELLo ISLAND AS A PAYING sTANDPOINT.
From The Toronto Globe, ApriL 6
Until feet were gathered to cover the landing of
troops KIllian and Roberts might rule this tiny
spot OF British soil esab ish the irish republic of
Campo BellO, issue letters of marque and reprtsal
and wage war on the commerce of Britain II
IS true that in lew davs The invaders would
be Ousted; that the island affords not the sight-
est advantage as point Of attack on the main
land OF New Brunswick and that the EinneRans
might just as well seize any other small island among
the hundreds Of thousands which own the sway of
Britain. But the seizure would make sensation
in New Ork; Pat add BiddY would not know
whether Campo bellO was in Ireland or New Bruins
wick, and MIGHT be disposed TO make turther in-
vestments in bonds OF the Irish republic TO carry
the great war On the who,e, we are inclined to
lhnk that the scheme wOuld paw, looked at from the
point of view OF the leaders of the FinneRans. Their
