The Fenian conspiracy is formidable to England in its unknown extent, its unsounded depths, and a vitality which her immense powcr has been unable to injure. The Fenian movement is. aptatanend, You may be assured of that. We have hardly seen the beginaing, and the end is yet far off. When the excitement and alarm, raised by recent events, bave subsided, and the vigilance of the British government becomes relaxed, there will bo another outbreak as unerpected and more serious than the last, and in which the insurgents will have the advantage of their recent experiences. The Fenian leaders are wily and astute. They thoroughly comprehend the difficulty of the work they have under- taken, and the peculiar tactics to be adopted. The gen- eral plan of action they have decided upon is by no means silly or impracticable. The skill and experience of Lord Strathnairn will avail him nothing in tho con- test, It is thor pian which has always been by rebels against a strong government, that adopted by the royalists of La Vendée in their confiiet with the Revolutionary government of France, by the Spaniards in their struggle with Napo- leon, by the Poles in thelr latest insurrection, by the Greeks, and by the Cretans in the revolt which is now progressing to success. The simultaneous rising in half the counties of Ireland on the 5th of March, at points so widely apart as Drogheda, Dublin aud Cork, demon- strated tho strength of the organization, and as a demon- stration of streneth only, I you confidentially, was tho rising on that night intended. It accomplished its purpose. England is dismayed, and the idea sho en- couraged that Fenianism was an exotic, transplanted by Irish-American propagandists, and that its objects were tapine, pillage and murder, this false idea has, I say, vanished ntterly a deiore the single night, The world sees that the Fenian movement is a national movement, kindred and {dentical, in its constraction, its aspirations and its conduct, with the national mover Poland, Rungary aud italy, aud shat of refote in I pase Proper. - . oT t still maintains procantions in the me- tropoit “Hite Yat.

Count Bismarck on the Reports and Freedom of Debate. a In the sitting of the North German Parliament, on the 20h of March, article twenty-two ‘of the constitutio: declaring that the sittings the Reichstag were to public, was brought forward. An amendment was pro sented by M. Lasker to authorize the publication of re- ports of the proceedings :— M. Lasker said that the object of the modifications roposed was rather to guarantes the rights of the Par- Remeat than the liberty of the proas, article twenty-two being of-no value if the journals were not {ree to pubiish accounts of the sittings. Count Biswancx said :—The confederate govern- ments fear nothing from the publication of the reports. The reasons for which T oppose an absolnte liberty in that respect are based on morality. There arc many things a State may tolerate, but to which it cannot ac- cord the sanction ‘and among those I include the right of insulting one’s fellow citizen without the person offended beiny able to obtain satisfaction, To withdraw that protection ia contrary to public morality, as was ad- mitted by tho rights of man proctaimed in 1791 by the French stitnant Assembly, I have berides for- warded instructions to the authorities that they should obtain the opinion of the government whenever there is reason to prosecute a journal for a report of a eitting. ‘The object ts not to tafringe upon the liberty of the publication of such accounts, bat to not sanction the rigat of imsult, To declaro that liberty would suffer is only a customary @xagzeration.
