mond branch of the Irish National League,
has received an official notice from Presl-
dent Fitzgerald of the postponement OF
the National Convention, which was IN
contemplation for the 9th and 10th ofJuly at
Philadelphia, Pa. The cause for the post
ponement is clearly set forthin the circular
letter as in consonance with the expressed
wish OF Parne, ga, S9oie9 To- President 6iix, he
ter the session OF Parliament. The lead
ing motive underlying the postponement
was the anxious desire to have Parnell
and other leading members of the Home
Rule party in Parliament present at the
convention, which would be impossible II
the convention was held in July as con,
templated. The date remains to be liked
hereafter.
