[FEoM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF cHE rRIBUNEi
LONDON. Oct 22.-Within forty eight hours OF
the appearance of the Land League manifesto the
League ceases 10 exist. The Government has sup
messed il. The "No Rent F." manifesto was in We'd
nesday's papers Mr. Forster's proclamation dccar-
ING the League an unlawful and criminal associa-
ton is published in the papers Of this morning. IL
is in fact dated October 20, and appeared in the
official Gazette on that day. and 1T was known IN
Dublin by . in the afternoon. There are those VINO
say that the course OF the events which have ioi-
lowed so rapidly each upon the other was pre-
arranged, or at least iorc seen. According to TINS
theory the League had been expecting the arrest Of
Nj. Parnel and the Government knew that the ar
rest " would produce the manifesto and the League
in its turn was aware that the manifesto
would he the signal of its own dissolution. 1t
would lie very unusual to find things tranSacting
themselves III an anticipated sequence of this SORT
nor is il very important TO know whether they ana

aud far-sghtcd purpose on the part Of the Govern
Incnt than they have been credited Win. PTclr-

Mr. Parnel was IN jail. BY Monday most of his leu

Dublin and had been steTnly put down; every
day and every hour gave some rcsh token of the
determination OF the Government 10 Resume its law
ful sway over Ireland. The League staked every
thing on its manifesto the day following. II
might might not have answered its purpose If the
Governments had been content 10 look IDLY on. But
the Leaguers knew perfectly well that the Govern
Inent would not aud iuld not look on any longer.
They knew they signing their own death war
rant. The truth WAS probably told by one OF them,
who was asked by a correspondent why they issued
q manifesto which was certain 10 bring rhc Govern
mcnt down on them. " lie informed me that the
Government had already So hardssal them that the
agitation could not 60 on, and therefore they took
the bold step while there was yet time, knowing it
was their last resource, and that il they were to 60
