trying to drown the noise made by the
secret printing press in the next room.

Imprisonment OF American Citizens in
Ireland.

WASHINGTON, March l6.
The Department Of State sent the
Committee on Foreign Affairs yesterday
copies Of the telegraphic correspondence be-
tween the department and the legation
at London respecting the imprisonment Of
Americans In Ireland under the Coercion
act The cases Of McSweeny and Hart are
especially alluded to. In his negotiations
regarding the former, Mr.. Lowell failed to OBJ
tain from tho British Government any informs
ton beyond that contained in tho warrant OF
arrest, but was assured by Lord Granville that
McS~eenys conduct brought him under the
Coercion act, and thst he could not be released
Harris reputation il bad and no will not prom
Ice to behave better il set at liberty. Lowell
does not believe either OF the two is more inno-
cent than . majority OF the persons arrested.
In answer 10 the departments instructions to
waive, for the present, all discussion OF the
Justice Of these arbitrary imprisonments, but
70 press for early trials Of the American "sus-
pects,' Mr.. Lowell states that her Majesty's
Government has promised 10 give tho matter
immediate attention.
