published in to-day's Times letter con

He says that despite their sympathies
there Is profound ignorance In England
and the United States respecting each

Of Americans for the Irish In their present
struggle arises from the error Of think

and that the English are Withholding
| from Ireland promises similar TO
| those possessed by the different states Of
| the American Union. Nothing says the
duke, could be more erroneous than the
idea. Referring 10 the right Of each OF
