IRELAND
In Ireland, there has been no outbreak yet. The habeas corpus act had been
suspended. Troops are constantly arriving from England, and are almost
immediately sent south, principally in the counties of Kilkenny and Meath,
where the danger is most imminent. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has sent
his family to England.- The Government seems fully prepared for any
emergency, but pikes will be numerous, though in the hands of an
undisciplined band, and barricades may be attempted.- A proclamation has
been issued suppressing all clubs. Sir Charles Napier's squadron has arrived
in the Cove. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of O'Brien, Meagher,
and others, and a reward of £600 has been offered by the Government for
their apprehension. They have escaped from Dublin, and are now engaged in
drilling men in the provinces. The Government has refused stamps for the
circulation of the "Felon" and Dublin "Nation" newspapers, so as to prevent
their circulation through the mails, and the police are ordered to seize and
destroy copies, wherever found. The constabulary force, has every where been
largely increased.
