The Late Riot in Dublin.

. u
London, Aug. S.-A dispatch from Dub
lin says the city is quiet, but that the ex-
citement of the popu1ace has not subsided.
1t is generally thought that the svmpathi-
zers in favor of the Fenian prisoners have
not given up the idea of holding another
meeting in spite of the prohibition Of author
tiles.
The sentiment Of majority of the peo-
pie is in favor of granting amnesty to all
Fenian prisoners; but violent opposition to
the authorities is generally deprecated.
The belief was that the royal visit would
be made an opportunity by the government
for the release Of imprisoned Fenians. The
populace are very bitter against the Prince
OF Wales because he has not interceded for
amnesty.
The whole police force is still on the alert.
and the military consigned to the barracks
to be ready, if called upon, to aid the
police.
Thus far no deaths are reported, but it is
thought that five or ten persons will die of
injuries received in the riot.
Superintendent of Police Howe is in q
critical condition, but hopes are entertained
for his recovery.
1t IS yet uncertain whether the Govern
ment can legally prosecute Mr.. Smyth and
other leaders of the demonstration.
Dublin, Aug. S.-The royal visitors haze
left Dublin. Not cheer from the lined
streets, through which they passed. The
silence was only broken by few Kisses.
The conduct of the police at Phoenix
Park, which is denounced as inexcusably
brutal, has embittered the people.
Yellow Fever at New York.
New York, August S.-Within the past
few days one steamer and six sailing ves-
sells have been quarantined with yellow
fever from the West Indies.
The Boutwell-Pleasonton Imbroglio.
Washington, August S.-Last night,
President Grant sent his private secretary
to Pleasonton, requesting his resignation.
Pleasonton declined to resign, whereupon
the President determined to suspend him,
and appoint Douglass. The matter will
probably be consummated to-day.

pointing Douglass and suspending Pleason-
ton are being prepared.
From France.
THE COURTS MARTIAL COMMENCED
THE ALGERIAN INSURRECTION.
Versailles, August S.--The courts-mar-
tial for the trial of Communists opened
yesterday and the indictments read. Some
Of the prisoners treated the proceedings
with levity.
Advices from Algeria say that the insur-
rectionists have been routed and subdued.
The revolt, however, continues in the pro-

composed. Numerous murders are still
committed by the rebels in that province,
and several forests have been burned.
