DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE
LONDON, May 4.-The correspondence be
tween Great Britain and the United State.
on the subject of the publication in the
| United States oil Indictment to outrage il
Ireland ia prin ed. 1t consists of dispatch
| from Earl Granville to Sir Edward Thorn
United Ireland, dispatch from Sir Edward
Thornton to Earl Granville, dated June
| 9th, detailing conversation with
Blaine; dispatch from Earl Gran
vile to Drummond, dated July 9th, ex-
pressing satisfaction at the views expressed
by Blaine, and dispatch from the earl ol
Granville to West, dated April 9th. In the
latter the earl of Granville says: 81 think
it well to state that Sir Edward Thornton
reported to me last summer that he had been
confidently informed, through a trust
worthy source, that the government of the
United States was not disposed to take up
too warmly the cause of American citizens,
native or na.uralized, who went to England
an Ireland with the express object of agi-
tatiDg, and then appealing to the United
States for protection. 1t considered there
was no reason why such Aliens should be
entitled TO better treatment than Irishmen
for the same offense."
MICHAEL DAvITT To BE RELEASED.
In the Commons Harcourt, home secretary
announced that the government had determin l.
ed to release Michael Dsvitt from prison.
Smith postponed his motion the land
question pending the governments pro-
posals.
PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION.
A new writ for an election for the northern
division of the West Riding of Yorkshire is or
dered in consequence OF Lord Frederick
Cavendish accepting the post of chief secre-
tary for Ireland.
IN THE COMMONS.
Replying to a question by Mr. Joseph
Cowen, the home secretary said that Michael
Davitt had been released for the same rea-
sons as those for which suspects had been
released. No conditions were attached to
his release except those attached to his pre-
vious liberation.
Mr.. Gladstone announced that the charge
of treasonable practices against Parnell
would be Withdrawn.
Mr.. Forster stated the reasons of his with
drawal from the Office of secretary for Ire
land. He said he could not agree to release
suspects unless he got from them a public
undertaking to cease opposing the execution
of the law. AS he could not obtain that he
could not remain in Office. He would have
released the suspects if Ireland had been
quiet, or if the government had had
full powers, but he could not
agree to an unconditional surrender. He
admitted that the condition of Ireland was
better than in January, but it was still SO
bad that he wanted the government to let
the rules of procedure wait until fresh act
securing punishment for outrages had been
passed. The coercion act he said had broken
up the League, or put it under petticoats,
and the rents were being better paid, but he
feared an unconditional release would undo
all the good effects of the act
Forster, in justifying the arrest of Parnell,
said that Parnell, if allowed, would have be-
come the uncrowned king of Ireland. Fors-
ter declared the proceedings of the impris-
oned members to have been far more danger
uos than individual Indictment to outrage
Gladstone, in reply to the question. said it
had been intimated to him that the "No rent"
manifesto would be withdrawn.
Dillon, OKelly and Sexton stated that |
such intimation was without their authority. |
Gladstone stated that the intimation came
from Parnell. As that gentleman was then
absent Gladstone declined TO make any fur |
.her statement.
Sir Henry Drummond Wolff quoted Glad |
'tone's declarations that the Land Leaguers
have caused outrages, rapine and murder.
