To the Irishmen OF Cairo
The time has at length arrived when
you should assist by earnest effort the
movement long since begun by Irish pa-
triots In the metropolitan cities of the
union. That England will become in.
volved in the existing Eastern compli.
cations is, according to the matured iul o.
ment of observant minds. an
affirmative fact tor future history.

the European chess-board. Conscious
OF her vast territory and her numerous
and
WELL DISCIPLINED ARMIES.
She tramples on and ignores those inter-
national tcchnicalities so scrupulously
held sacred by the lesser powers; and.
as a consequence Of her rashness, other
nations England being one-to MAIN
tain their traditional dignity, will be
forced to declaration of war. We well
know that England,

giant powers is, we think. inevitable.
Russa, young, large and vigorous. fears

honor is involved, she recks not the
dread OF arbtrament of arms. Now,

lreland's opportunity" This is a stale
and lhreadbare postulate, but it is new

war tomorrow. are the Irish of Amer.
