the Irish Nationalist situation this morn
ing, SAYS that on its own responsibility, and
without recommending II to either side
with any motive beyond its ressonableness,

lively and rapidly accomplished, the Journal
urges the return TO Paris forthwith Of Messrs.

from each section thereof. proceed to that
city, and there, with a full knowledge Of all
