to the Cause OF the Disaster.
New York, June 12th-The Tribune says:
O'Donovan Rosa, who was mentioned in
some of the dispatches from London, is
probably implicated in the plot at Liverpool,
from papers found in the possession of one
of the cnnspirators. He is the editor of the
United freshman, published in this city. He
is also prominent member of the Fenian
organization, known as the United
Irishmen." To Tribune reporter he said
last night that he knew neither Robert nor
McKevitt, nor did he believe that they were
instigated by the United Irishmen, because
in that case he would have known Of plot
beforehand. But l am sure" he contin-
ued, that the plot was prompted
by the same spirit that animates our
and which led to the Mansion
House plot All of this skirmishing. as we
can't send her armies into Ireland with inn
punity. 1t is only the beginning of the
trouble. No work of this kind will be done
in Ireland, however, as it would serve
England as an excuse for oppression. / re-
ceived intelligence last December that ex.
plosive materials had been placed in the hold
OF the British war-ship Doterel for the pur-
pose of destroying her. Furthermore, Irish
men in the British Navy have given us as
surances that they are ready to do the same
thing again.
