Then looking about ns for the enemy, we find hina here--heie your midst where he is most vulnerable and convenient to our strength ; and have sworn ta srretch forth the armed hand of Ireland and grapple with himi- The baitle has com- menced, and we pledge ourselves by all the sacred memories of struggling liberty to fol- low it up at any cost to eitlier of the two al- ternatives--the absolute political indepen- dence and liberty of [reland or the demoli- tion of our arinies. Wa have no issue with the people of these Provinces, and wish to have none but the most friendly relations. Our weapons are for the oppressors of Ireland. Our blows shall be directed only at the power of England. Her piiveleges alone, shall we invade, not yours. We do not propose to divest you of a solitary right you now enjoy. We will assail and assume only the rights that are claimed and en- joyed by the Government of Great Britain, the right to make her American possession, the field, and base of opperation, the field; and base of operation in a war against an enemy. We come to install ourselves in her prerogatives, and furs them against her in a war for Irish freedom. We are hese, neither as mauraders nor robbers, for plunder, or of liberation ; the friends of liberty against might and wrong, to conduct this contest according to the laws known to honorable warfare, in a manner worthy of the high object we aim for, and the sublime sentiment that actuate us. In a word, our war is with the armed power of England, and not with the people, not wilh these Provinces, against England upon land and sea,juntil Ireland is free. And all who raise arm to defend her, to frustrate or de- feat us belong to the common enemy, and as such will be dealt with. As we know how to recognize the services of our friends, 0 also do we know how: to punish the depredations of our foes. Our work for Ireland accomplished, we leave to your own liee ballots to determine your national and political standing and character, and shall rejoice lo see, and assist to make, these almost himitless colonies spring fiom the fool of a foreign throne, as free and inde- pendent, as proud as New York, Mas- sachuselts, or Illinois. To that yarning for liberty and aspiration after National Inde- pendence, which swells the breastof every true son of every land to your own manl ness, we leave thoee questions for settle- ment, confident that the dwarfed develope- ment of your vast resources and natural wealth under the chilling influences of English supremacy in wretched contrast with the national dignity and stupendous material prosperity of your neighboring people of the United States, under the #ti- muli of self-government and demoratic institutions, constitutes a stronger argument in favor of co-opperation with:us and of the revolution i in your political condition which theism v than any diseus of the question involved, "which we could offer here. To lsishmen throughout these Provinces, we appeal to the name of seven centuries of British iniquity and Irish misery and suflering, in the mame of our murdered sires, our desolated homes, our desecrated alters, our millions of famine graves, our insulted name and race to stretch forth the hand of brotherhood in the holy cause of Fatber-land, and smite the tyrant where we can, in his work of murdering our natioy and exterminating our people. We eon- jure you our countrymen, who from misfor- tunes inflicted by the very tyranny you are serving, or from any other cause, have been forced to enter the ranks of the enemy, not to be the. willing instrument of your coun- ry's death or degradation.

PROCEEDINGS AT THE HEADQUARTERS oF PRESIDENT ROBERTS, The Fenian enthusiasm suffered no abatement yesterday, although the con- course of people in the viemities of the several newspaper offices was less than on the several days preceding. Of course there was an unlimited amount of general discussion in all circles, American as well as Irish, but the novelty of the affair eg- hausted, there was less of tumult and of hurrying to and fro than upon the first news of the inception of the invasion. AT THE ROBERTS HEADQUARTERS, No. 706 Bieadway, there was the usual ex- hibition of business activity. Bulletins marked " Official," and signed by Presi- dent Robeits, were posted upon the wull at intervals. Among these the most import. ant were the following :-- " None wanted to join this movement except old soldiers. WM. R. ROBERTS, Pres. F. B," Or again : " All persons in want of transportation are hereby ordered to rendezvous at the foot of Canul streetut 5 p. m.--steamer St, John. g WM. R. ROBERTS, Pres. F. B.? Or yet again : " There 1s reason to believe that the main movement has commenced. General Sweeney's forces are in motion. WM. R. ROBERTS, Pres. F. B." About three hundred Fenians left-in the steamer ¢ St. John' for Albany, at 5 p. m, yesterday. MEETING AT THE MOFFATT MANSION. A meeting of the Centres of the many New York Circles was held at the Moffat Mansion on Monday evening, to discuss the present state of affairs in the Fenian Bro- therhood, Several speeches were made in lavor of Roberts and Stephens, when a vote was taken, which resulted in favor of sup- porting James Stephens and the principles he advocates. RECRUITING AT TAMMANY HALL. According lo - previous announcement, Col. James Kerrigan, who has been come missiened a Brigadier by Gen. Sweeney, opened the large room at Tammany Hall last morning, and the following uotice was conspicuously posted : 5,000 LABOURERS WANTED. TRANSPORTATION SUPPLIED. To which some one had facetiously added: «By the Briush Government" No sooner were the doors opened and the Grren Flag ol Enn was displayed from the balcony, than hundreds of men congregated mn front of the buildings, and in the City Hall Park opposite. Some litile delay oe~ curred 10 making he preliminary arrange= ments, getting rolls ready and filling up commissions for persons desiring to become leaders of a "gang * of men. In a short lime several such appointments were made, the work of enrollment was commenced, and each table was surrounded by a crowd of hard-looking men, many of them veterans, who, with anxious looks and vehement gesticulations, grasped the pen and placed their names on the labour-roll of h nor 'There were five or six tables furenrollment scattered through the room, and each agent, according to his populanty, had a crowd of adherents and sympathizers. The work ot eurollment was quite brisk for several ours, and at the close of this, the first day's pro- ceedings, about eleven hundred stout, able= bodied labourers had been engaged. One, of the officers of General Kerrigan's staff 1.formed our reporter that-he had a contract to bujld five miles of railroad, and had but a short time in which to pirborn the work.
