IRELAND . The Belfast Riots . —The disarmament of the theological belligerents at 3 i « lfast is proceeding-, and so is the inquiry iiito the late outrages . Several muskets , pistols , &c , have been secreted by their owners in places beyond the limits of tie district mentioned in the Proclamation . For in this document the usual Governmental tendency to blunder has exhibited itself . The old boundaries of tlie town weje referred to , and not those established in 1853 . Hence , certain parts of . Belfast are exempt from the action of the Government announcement ; and here the weapons are stored for any future occasion . In the meanwhile , soldiery and constabulary axe poured into the town in vast numbers- On Sunday , no positive disturbance took place , but a great many shots were fired during the day , apparently at random . The Rev . Mr . Hanna persisted in attempting to preach in the open ah' ; but the Mayor stopped him , and sent him home .
The Irish Sympathizers with Sepoy Feuocitv :. — The Nation- amuses itself with gloating over the mass-acres committed by Neua Sahib a »< l the other Indian murderers , and by rubbing its hands with glee at our reverses . It even implies that the British have exhibited cowardice in their encounters with the Sepoys ; although , if this were so ( and it is glaringly false ) , it would reflect as much on the writer's own countrymen as on ' the Saxon , ' considering the large number oi Irish there , are in tbe British army . On the other Hiand , however , the Roman Catholics -and Liberals of the town of Carrick-on-Suir have held ji meeting to express their indignation at the posting in their town of a seditious
placard , and to inaugurate a subscription for offering a reward of 1001 . towards the discovery of the authors of the document . On . Sunday morning , a placard , written ia a bold hand , was posted on the chapel gates , Caxrickon-Suir , setting before the Militia of Ireland ' the glorious example of the Sepoyb . ' "We call upon you , ' Bays tho placard , " to know whether you will become food for powder in India , or rather whether you will not imitate the example of the Sepoys , and burst asunder the chains of slavery in which you have been so long bouud ? Now is the time to avenge all your wrongs on tho head of tho accursed Saxon . Follow , then , tho glorious example of the Sepoys , and unfurl the green flag on your national hills . "

A convention has been arranged at Ilavimnali with . New Granada , providing for the Inundation uf claims of American citizens . "The President , has put forth in advance , " says a writer from Xew York , " his manifesto as to Kansas . Several well-intentioned persons in Connecticut- wrote him a letter , telling him in a polite way that he was very naughty for allowing Governor Walker to use the troops to put down the Lawrence paper rebellion , and arraigning other acts of his administration . The President thought it necessary . to meet this arraignment , and replied in a letter which has attracted a great deal of . attention . in political circles . He says that he found the present territorial laws in force when he entered on the duties of his office—created by a body recognized by
his predecessor and by Congress , and enforced by the preceding Administration . There were no other laws then existing in the territory , and no opposition to these laws , except from persons declared to be an rebellion . He then argues that no other course was open to him but to recognize these laws as the starting point for all changes in the government of the territory -, that , adopting them as a basis , on them he would build up , or lend the Federal aid to build up , a just system , impartuil to both parties , which should permit the public will to have free expression , and that expression to become law . The constitution that may be framed shall be submitted for ratiiication by tho voters inscribed under the territorial law , and , when ratified , will be the only fundamental law recognized by the Central Government . "
