THE LAND LEAGUERS AND THE TAMATAVE INCIDENT.
The news from Tamatave is described in Mr. Piirnell's paper, the Irishman, as a "delicious morsel." That journal exults in the supposed fact that " the (iallic Admiral frightened the soul out of a British Consul," which is the; Irishman's way of stating that Mr. Pakenham's death was accelerated by anxiety and excitement. The giltant Admiral, says the organ of the Leaaue, "would stand no nonsense from British bullies, nor tolerate the treachery of an English missionary who was secretly basking the enemies of France and did not perhaps fancy he vronld be found out and properly punished by a sailor of the Republic." The Nation, which is the second voice of the same organisation, treats both, the .English and the French aa "robbers" in Madagacar "and other couatries thet might be named," and predicts that the "most truculent set of tyrants in the world, the Gladstone Cabinet, will now have something •filae to. think of than devising new schemes of transportation for our people and new encines for the repression of the Irish nation's will." -:
