MIR. o'BRIEN's VIEWS.
In an interview to-day MIR. O'Brien
| SAID he was OF the opinion that the eXecu-
| tive would defeat themselves in trying to
| stem the tide of opinion in favor of re-
| ductiOn Of rents, even Gen. Butler having
declared in favor of produce rent. The gov
eminent, he said, were playing a game of
bankrupt landlords whose estates were
so deeply mortgaged that it was impossi-
BILE for them to meet their engagements
unless they eXacted full rents. He feared
the governments action would lead to
troublous times, butt he was confident that
the English would see the justice Of the
claims of the Irish peasantry, and that
a repressive policy would speedily pro-
duce a revulsion of feeling in England
against the author OF that policy.
