PARNELL PUT In PERIL.
HIS LETTER TO CLANCY CON-
STRUED AS TREASONABLE

Severe Action by the Government ExA
pected to be Based on the Decision
The Corporation of Dublin Votes to
Abstain from Presenting an Address
to the Prince.
LONDON, March 16.-Mr. ParneIl. it
appears, is to be attacked from an en-
tirely new quarter. The manifesto read
by Mr.. Clancy at meeting of the Nation
alist section of the Dublin Municipal
Council on Thursday last has been sub-
mitted to the Solicitors for the Crown,
TIE manifesto was an expression of the
attitude proper to be observed by the Ma
tiOnal League towards the Prince of
Wales during his coming visit to Ireland.
1t advised Nationalists to maintain an
attitude of reserve, make no hostile dem
onstration, and no expressions of well
come, and declared that the visit of the
Prince and Princess of Wales to
Ireland was inopportune, while
an unspeakably indecent coterie
remained in possession of Dublin Castle.
When MIR. Clancy read the manifesto he
announced that 1t was from Mr.. Parnell,
and in Mr.. SeXton's handwriting. John
Dillon denied the authenticity of the
dOcun on', On Saturday Mr.. Parnell adj
mitted a. Mr.. Clancy's statement was
correct, aud explained that the document
was prepared for Mr.. Clancy's personal
direction and use, and not for publication
at the time as II manifesto. On Friday
the National League issued a manifesto
embOdying the sentiment contained in
the document read by Mr.. Clancy, of
watch the latter was apparently a draft.
The whole matter was placed before the
Crown solicitors, and these lawyers have
to-day rendered an opinion that the mani
festO of Thursday is a reasonable docu-
ment. 1t is believed that the government
Will base some severe action upon the
opinion of the solicitors, and its action is
awaited with interest.
NO ADDRESS TO BE PRESENTED.
A Dublin dispatch says the corporation
of Dublin to-day, by vote of Al to II, re-
iected the motion to present an address
to the Prince of Wales on the occasion of
his visit there on April s. During the de-
bate on the proposed address, Timothy
Daniel Sullivan, Home Rule member of
Parliament for Westmeath county, de-
scribed the proposed visit of the Prince
and Princess of Wales as an attempt to
politically whitewash Dublin. "All the
perfumes of Araby," cried out Mr.. Sulli-
van, ''could not sweeten Dublin CASTLE"
This exclamation was received with
cheers.
The municipal councils of KingstoWn
and Dalkey to-day voted to present adj
dresses of welcome to the Prince and
Princess Of Wales upon their arrival.
The Citizens Committee of Dublin has
decided to present an address to the
Prince of Wales on his arrival here and
to invite the citizens to attend ball to be
given in the Princes honor.
The Dublin Orange League has decided
to present no special address to the Prince
of Wales, his visit having no political
significance, but to Loyalty support the
citizens in welcoming the Prince.
AN ORDER FOR LORD SPENCER.
Premier Gladstone has recommended
Earl Spencer, Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, to the Queen as deserving
to have conferred upon him some
signal mark of royal appreciation
tor the conspicuous ability he has dis
played in the management of Her
Majesty's affairs in Ireland.
