The telegraph wire in the nsurrectionary
districts Of Ireland have been cut in all drcc-
tions, and the meagre news received from
that quarter is suppressed for prudential
reasons.
A large Fenian party have been surrounded
by the National troops, in Toomer's woods,
and the chances for their escape look exceed
ingly small.
The band of 800, which retreated to the
wood near Killarney is still at large
The uprising is thus far confined to Kerry
and Cork counties, and it is not believed the
trouble will spread further.

LONDON, Feb. l5.-The Gar has written
note in which he objects to the rising of the
Servians against Turkey.
The Government stated to Parliament
to-day that Colonel Horsefords force was
entirely too small to follow an armed band
Of Fcnians into Toomer's Wood; but that the
Colonel had strong hopes of surrounding the
insurgents and preventing their escape. The
authorities in Ireland have assured the British
Government that the present rising is totally
stopped.
PARIs, Feb. l5.-The Emperor Napoleon,
in his speech before the Corps Legislatif, on
the assembling Of that body, said serious
events have happened in Europe, almost full
filling the great Napoleon's idea, to unite all
the great homogeneous nations, hitherto
separated, and which is the only possible
balance of power in Europe. German and
Italian events have paved the way to it.
Their success cannot disturb France.
stood aloof, and held the peace which Prussia
and Italy made without dismembering Aus
tria. France was just and neutral. In an
other part Of the globe we have been obliged
to employ force to redress legitimate gricv-
ances, and we have endeavored to raise an
ancient empire. The happy results we first
obtained were compromised by an inaus-
picious concurrence OF circumstances. The
| guiding idea OF the Mexican expedition was
on elevated one-to regenerate a people and
implant among them ideas of order and pro-
gress; to open vast outlets to our commerce,
and have the recognition ofservices rendered
} to civilization to mark our path. Such was
} my desire and yours; but as soon as the ex-
tent of our sacrifices appeared to me to ex-
, ceed the interests which had called us across
r the ocean, | spontaneously determined upon
! the recall Of our army corps, that the Gov

prehend that want of cancellation had en-
bittercd relations, which, for the welfare Of
both countries should remain friendly.

the Porte, and to prevent complications.
