P.)—The belief appears general in Belfast that Bamonn' De Valera the lrisa_republican leader, will not accept the terms of the British government for a settlement of the Irish question, which falls far short of the republican ideal. It may be assumed that the outstand- ing feature of the governmental offer is fiscal control, which implies dominionism for-Ireland outside toe six northern coun- ties, and, unless a special provision is made to the contrary, it is believed likely to prove the strongest lever. for forcing Ulster to join with the southern parliament. Tie prospects, so far as actions may be judged, are not_disconcerting to the northern cabinet. Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, -has left for Scotland with his wife and daughter to join his sons who now are on fioliday there, and John Miller Andrews, Ulster minister of labor, wio is also president of the Ulster Unionist Labor Association did not attend the monthly meeting of that body last night.
