that the United States Government may be aroused
from what is here boldly termed shameful ethargy
to act at any moment in behalf of the rights and
lives of its own citizens. The French troops in
Northern and Western Mexican States have been
driven ignominiously to the coast and are heInned
in a few port towns, whence they are liable to de-
camp on board their vessels of war for safety and
disgust Mazatlan is besiegedits streets barricaded

in the rear.
Fighting has occurred. in which the Liberals,
aided b. Americans recently enlisted had been vic
toFious. The antipathy Of French and Imperial
Mexicaus to the Americans IS increasing. Instances
OF Americans having been thrown causelessly into
prison and III. are subjected to growing insults, and
threats of indscriminae slaughter of Americans are
boldly made by the Mexican Imperial authorities
in certain towns 1t is time, it is actually necessary
that war vessels be dispatched here by the United

Archbishop McCIOskey On Fenianism.
From the N Y Times EETsG

FTVul Tue ~ L. l1neS,l
The cog ent reasoning of Archbishop McCloskey
against the Fenian movement. presented on Sunday
in his remarks at st. Patricks Cathedral, should
commend itself heartily not only to Irishmen but to
all others who have the true interests of Ireland at
heart. He said:
IF our people persist, as unfortunately they have
persisted thus far in movement which all sensible
men and all true friends Of ireland consider one
of folly which must result in nothing but destruc-
ton and mischief, it will not only incite England
to oppress Ireland still more, and to riyet still
more securely the ch aims upon her people, but it
will incite perhaps the anger and disgust of the
American people themselves against us. And !
say in all the sincerity of my heart that | look
to this movement with feeling of deep appre-
hension, for the of the spirit that has been
evinced by those whose counsel the people have fol-
lowed in this movement, that will raise up against
Irshmen, first Irshmen, and then as Catholics, In
this land spirit of persecution equal to that under
which they have so long groaned in their own land
appeal to all men. and beg of them for their own
sakes and for the sake of their religion and their
God to Withdraw themselves from movement that
has already gone too far The reason alleged for not
listening to advice from bishops and clergy in this
matter Is shat they say this is political movement
and that therefore the bishops and priests of the
Catholic Church have nothing to do with it, and must
stand aside from it, That's true Bishops and priests
have nothing to do with it, They say that this move
ment has nothing to do with religion"
