The ministry must really be in possession Of
grave information to take the measures OF exces-
siye prudence which we yesterday made knoWnt0

| Now is the Canadian government in possession

/ likely? What is certain is that the Canadian gov

madeto the American government. in consequence
of certain representatons which have reached II.
i What satisfaction it has obtained we cannot say
or rather we believe that the Canadian govern
ment has simply received reply from the asn-
Il ington Cabinet that it does not see anything, and
consequently, cannot hinder anything. The re-
mans strongly insisted in the resolutions which
were adopted at their great meeting in jones'
! Wood that the American government should recog-
nize in the Ishnen in revolt the character OF 0el-
ligerents We do not doubt that, before long, they
will succeed. President Johnson, who IS now at
strife with the divisions created in his Own party
by his veto Of the freedmens bill, will take care
to place at his back the Irish population OF the
United States, which, in many places, gives the

The cabinet at Washington has not forgotten
that the armies of the United States which CON
f quered the South, were composed IN great meas
ure Of Irishmen, and the American nation ia great
iy indebted to the generous manner In which the
Children of Ireland split their blood for it, for the
peace which it enjoys to day, and the glory with
which the American flag is surrounded. And wha
ton will not forget is the great haste witt
which England recognized the character Of beiiig

difficult for the cabinet at Washington to establish
favorable comparison for the recognition Of Ire
. land as belligerent or between its case and tha
of the Southern revolt. And France, which rec

| refuse the same favor to ireland in arms?
The short of the whole is that the position o
England in this question il more than critical. I'm
sYmpathies of the world are with Ireland, as thel
were with Poland. And as Jhere IS nothing i'm
n possible in these days, when despotisms diTid
people among themselves, without mutual under
,. standing for the keeping of their prey, it woul
sr not be surprising to see Russia and the Unite
le States pluck Ireland from England, and put tn
"a Emerald Isle in the casket Of independent nations
!, Russia is the rival of England in Asia, and she ma
