under the name of Ellis, there was q
similar trapdoor filled with pulleys, by
means of which he could escape through
the cellar. He was in daily communica-
| tion with the county chiefs of the
United Irishmen, and on that very night
on which he declared his love to Miss
| Curran he had received reports showing
that nineteen counties were ready to
rise and join him when he should give
| the signal. That signal he meant to
withhold until the landing Of the
French, though every day of his prepa-
rations in the meantime was day Of
peril for his life. 1t would not astonish
| him to be arrested at any time; hence
he readily believed there was danger
when Anne Deylin gave the alarm.
| When at the end of the lane he strobe
out into the street and ran into n man
who was walking fast, with bowed head
and hands in pockets, as If in deep
thought.
Beg pardon = oh. good evening,
Wylde" he said. What news"
Good evening. Mr.. Em-Ellis.' said
WyIde. I'm just going TO meet Meal
lister in Burkes tavern in Thomas
Street. He's just back from France and
wants to see you"
Good, l hope he has positive infor-
nation as to where we are to expect
our friends Has he told you any
thing?"
Not even a hint. When we met
| there were persons present whom he did
not know, and so he just said that he
fr,h. tn c.an
| Ellis. went to Butterfleld lane and
found no one at home, so | thought d
come back here. | was at Mr.. Curran's s
early this evening and it's all settled
between Miss Allen and myself.
Emmett shook his hand and smiled
beamingly upon him.
Arrived at Burke's they found Nc
Allister sitting alone in a back room.
Porter was ordered for three, to give
the meeting the appearance OF mere
carousal, and when 1t had been served
and the door was closed on them Nc
Allister handed a paper to Emmett with
the three words, From your brother.
The patroit leader read 1t in low
voice with every possible Manifesto
tion OF joy. 1t ran:
Copy of the First Consul's answer 10
my Memoire of the 18th Nivose, deilV-
cred to me 9th Nivose:
The First Consul has read with the
most particular attention the memoir !.
addressed to him by Mr.. Emmett Oh

He wishes that the United Irishmen

protection to all of them that will take

proclamation until a landing shall have
been made on the Irish territory. But
the general who is to command the eX-

letters by which the First Consul VIII

Every person who will embark with
the French army destined for the ex-

prisals Will be made upon the English

the United Irishmen shall be consid-
cred as forming part of the French
army. In fine, should the expedition be

or authority of the country
