      THIRD HIGHI—WXDMESDASr . " The excitement increases as toe subject is discussed . The short reports in the morning papers have filled the public mind with the utmost degree of excitement . Nothing ia talked of but Ireland—nothing written about by the editors but Ireland . The party differences about local polities seem all to iave given place to this one absorbing question , —* shall we" let England master all mankind V It became known , ' in the course of the day . that Governor Seward would f preside , and at an early hour toe room was literally packed with human beings .

      FOTTRTH SIGHT—THUBSDAY , " The excitement grows as each new ^ evolution of the public mind flingsout Hb burning particles of indignation . The evident object of England being la seizs on the possessions « f all those who are not strong enough to resist her concentrated arms , has aroused the quietest and dullest of our citizens to a | sense of her injustice , and a spirit of resistance . Tbs daily press now seises on the question , and from end to end of this great Republic the word is gone forth—DOWN WITH THE ARISTOCRACY OF ENGLANlil The zoom in Washington Hall was again crowded to the outer doors . Tta platform ¦; was again ithronged by the wealthiest of our dtitens-rmaay , whose names we have given in our previous nfi | fc In ; addition to these were present last nighsTE venerable Thomas O * Csnaor , Mr .

We noticed everal strangers on the platform , who took a very evident interest ia tbe proceedings . The chair was taken on motion , by John Mullen , Esq . . Mr . Bergen and Mr . Langton were at their posts , as well as tbe efficient secretary , Mr . B . O'Connor . The first business « f the evening was the receipt of money , and without any appeal to the feelings of those present , the Mends

      of Ireland thronged around the ' tail e , and j commenced their patriotic deposits for the support of Ireland ' s tsuse . Many of these deposits were put in on various conditions—some for the purpose of buying powderothers for the purpose of buying steel ! The . treasnrer , however , took all the mosey with the determination of sending it to the Bepeal Association in Ireland . We saw men give their five dollars , which was probably the result of a whole week ' s earnings ; we give tbe amounts In another place . !

" The day opened beauteously over the city on which the citizans of the commercial centre of our country assembled to testify their respect for the Chief Magistrate of the United States . The atmosphere was balmy as a morning in spring . Not a cloud appeared to threaten with a less brilliant dose , the magnificence of the arrangements for the day . All was in keeping with the important and patriotic duty which our ciHzsns were about to discharge . '

      "At an early hour the streets were thronged with busy crowds . The sounds of fifes and drams , the roar of muiketry met the ear from every quarter , and from every boose-top floated to the brecza some * national emblem , c ? some appropriately devised feaooer . Toe nag-of-old Erin was seen conspicuously in front of tbe Repealers head quarters , Washington HaU , 4 rawa across Broadway , and gave joy . to many a bosam passing beneath its ample folds , as the consideration arose of her present position , and of the idle threats of terrified British ministers ; all felt that it-was foretold ; that the day was near on which » long insulted people would raise it as their national ensign , ¦ amid the rejoicings and plaudits of the civilized world .

Tnsy took lie © in tbe procession beaded by their efficient Marshal and devoted Repealer , James Bergen , Esq ., aceompaniedlby that prince ot good fellows , and- warm-hearted Irishman , his aid , Lawrence Langton , Esq ., who drew up a corps of Repealers on foot , numbering , at ledst , &v « thousand , each- wealing the Repeal badge t the latter ¦ were preceded bybeautUul banners , and a magnificent barouche ( which , on the followiBg two days , was used by-the President of the . United States ) with fouf

      elegant and spirited grey , charger 8 , the trappings of which were covered entirely with . green , ; this contained' some of the exiled patriots of . ' 98 , and Vwo yonths bearing banners , ! oni which were tasteful fOloslona to the struggle of . these States and of Ireland for , liberty from the unjust / and oppressive laws of the same heartless tyrant ; following this barouche were many carriages containing ] the Executive Committee , the Treasurer , and . Secretary of the Repeal Association ; then came four others , in , which were the membera of the Committee of Arrangements for the day .

      ** The whole of the procession , some four mites , was crowded rw | th , citJZ 3 ns wearing the Repeal badge , and on all sides conld be discovered' some distinct mark of the kindly ] feeling of on * citizens for the legislative regeneration of unhappy Ireland . As the horsemen pasaea the monuHientfl erected to the memory of those illustrious Irishmen , Montgomery and Thomas Addis Emmet , In J 9 fc . Paul's cbnrch-yard , the-band halted , and they and the long line ef Repealers faced towards tho tombs , with heads uncovered , and stood in silence while tbe baud played a dirge . The idea was a poetic and a beautiful one , fend was carried into effect with every evidence that it was sincerely appreciated by the Repealers . 4 It took the immense concourse which thronged the square by surprise , and many a heart beat with admiration for the warm impulses of that portion of pur citizens , who so handsomely exhibited the refipect they bore the cherished memories of the dead . I

      " The head-quarters was greeted with rapturous cheers—the great room Of the Hall Wai thronged ttlth ladies and invited guests of the committee , and from the windows were displayed the waving handkerchiefs ot the fairest daughters of our citizens . After having been reviewed by the President , the immense aBd delighted procession separated without having en ' countered , during the day ' s parade , any thing to cause an uncomfortable reflection . There never has been , in these States , so magnificent and creditable a display on the part of our Irish adopted citizens ; and there never was a period at which some similar exhibition of respect for the institutions and chief officers of our country -was more traded than it now is . From some

      few-weakand contemptible presses do we hear it declared that they consider it impolitic to take any part with suffering Ireland as American citizens . We ask such miserable cowards , base cringers to the Tory principles ; we ask those who ever are and ever will be the secret traitors to ; this country , to tell us , -what portion of the citizens of New York did most on Monday last , to show that they understood what was their duty as American citizins ? lWe pause for a reply . , We will ring it again and again in the ears of such men , that the Repealers of ifew York , did themselves more credit in the late reception , and ; escorting of the President of the United States than any other association , no matter for what purpose organizBd , in the whole of the route through which he passed . "

      In addition to the exciting and enthusiastic manifestations of ** sympathy" on the part of the Americans already detailed , a large out-door meeting was holden on Wednesday , June 14 th , which the Truth Teller describes as "the greatest assemblage of human befogs ever gathered together at one time in New York . ' * We subjoin an epitome of the proceedings , directing especial attention to the address adopted to the French people . It is time that the English people ascertained the whole bearings of this " Repeal" question : —

      THE MASS MEETING IN THE PARK "The greatest assemblage of human beings ever gathered together in New-York , for any purpose , Wat that which met last evening at the Park , to sympathise with Ireland . ; At the lowest computation made , they numbered Thirty Thousand , whilst some rated it at Fifty Thousand . At half-post six , the Committee , followed by a large number of gentlemeD , made their way amongst the j dense masses to the temporary stand erected In front of the City Hall . The large flight of ascending steps served for the distant crowd to stand on . The most excellent arrangements were made for the press , and we are sure that every paper in the city was represented there . " On the motion of tbe Hon . John M'Keon , the Honourable Minthorne Tonikins was called upon te preside . "

      "The meeting being called to order the following resolutions were ' moved by Edmund S . Kerry , Esq ., and their adaption moved by the Hon . J . M'Keoo , in a powerful Bpeecb . " Whereas , the Tory Ministry of Great Britain have promulgated ^ solemn declaration that justice shall never be accorded to Ireland , and threaten , that if Irishmen persist in praying for It , they shall be silenced by the bayonet . ' " Resolved , That the friends of Ireland in New York regard , such declaration and threat with mingled feelings of indignation and horror .

      " Resolved , As tbe love of justice Is a natural and irrepressible instinct in the bofcom of every Irishman , we see in this language of tbe Ministry no alternative but carnage and deeaolation , unless that Ministry relent or are driven from their purpose ; for 8 . , 000 of Irishmen , cheered on by the friends of liberty , justice , and humanity thoughont the civilised world , cannot be still under misrule and oppression , and like a horde of imbecile eastern slaves , studiously forbear from molesting their tyrants even by a remonstrance . " Resolved , That tie Government of Great Britain has ever evinced , both in its domestic and foreign policy , a rapacious and cruel disregard of tbe rights and interests of th » people ; that it is a political monster , useful only to a class of -eorapairatiTely Insignificant numbers , covered with the plunder , and stained with the blood of unoffending nations ; and that , however great oar indignation , we feel no surprise at its threatened course towards Ireland .

      " And whereas , although nothing can be hoped from the moral sense of such a Government ; yet , inasmuch as the English ! people , if properly awakened to tbe necessity of enforcing it , have tba power to doso ; and inasmuch as that people are brave , liberal and just , therefore , ' ' ¦ " Resolved , As the sense of this meeting , that the sympathy of nations properly expressed for Ireland is well calculated ¦ to arouse this dormant power , and affords tbe best ] and most effectual means of averting the calamities of civil war , and ultimately obtaining for Ireland the restoration of ber own Legislature .

      " Resolved , That under these circumstances , we deem it a moral duty of every inhabitant of the United States , of Irish \ birth or Irish descent , and highly praise-worthy and becoming in every citfzsn thereof , to contribute his voice influence and pecuniary aid to strengthen the hands of that band of Irish patriots , who with Mr . O'Connell at their bead , are now struggling to re-establish on Irish soil the rights and liberties of Irishmen .

They solicit not the munlflcent aid ot her trsasares .

It is not enough , however , we believe , that Irishmen

      should have asserted , unanimously , the equity of their claim to be governed SBly by laws enacted by their own representatives . We are solicitous , that the opinion of the most enlightened nations should give additional weight to their own opinions . We are aware , whatever efforts the pride of Britons may make to dispute the foot , that the voice of France carries with ' it a moral . authority which cannot be permanently resisted—as if it were the fate of the Great Nation always t 9 influence the destines of mankind , either by tue wisdom of her sages , or by tbe disciplined valour of her soldier-born warriors .

      " It is under a deep sense of this high mission delegated to Fiance by Providence , that the friends of Ireland now communing with Frenchmen , entreat them , by such legal means as are wont to elicit public sentiment fn their country , to proclaim their sympathies in the cause of Ireland In their universal language—& language made deathless by bo many of the master produotions of the human mind having been entrusted to itakesping . It matters not what puny barriers despotism may opposo to the spread of the thoughts it embodies , on thiSi or any other subject , whether relating to politics or to sdesce .

      Frenchmen 1 Speaking to you in behalf of Ireland , we invoke the remembrance of an alliance of centuries between the Gauls and the Green Isle > We evoke the remembrance of those battle fields where the Berwicka , the Laliy ' a , the Sarsfiold'a , the , Dillon's , the Hamilton's , the Elliots , the Mac Donalds , have mingled their blood witkithe blood of your warriors wherever the white flag or the glorious tri-colour have w » ved . We entreat your sympatbiea for the wrongs of their descendants , recalling to your memory the joyous acclaims with which Irishmen , whether at home or wandering in Exile , have ever hailed your triumphs —the deep sorrow they have ever felt In the days of your adversities . The generous i compassion you avowed for

      Greece ; that which every ? year your representativea express for tbe Pules ; Fienchmen ! we ask them now for Ireland ! for Ireland more . oppressed than Greece , suffering under wrongs even more unmerited than those of heroic Poland . We cannot address individually every Frenchman made illustrious by arms , by science , by poesy , by arts—we single but only such names as fame has wada familiar even to us unlearned mechanics and farmers . We implore Ctiateau&riand to embrace the causa of a people breathing : tbe very spirit attd genius of Christianity—rm % pray Lamartine to make the sufferings of Ireland the theme of some other angeL inspired meditations—we entreat yictor Hugo to awake for martyred Erin , lovely and guilties , like bis own

      Esmeralda , —and like her too , ; remorselessly tortuted—by tyranny and relentless intolerance , —that deep pity far real miseries which the weird accords of his Lyre have so often inspired for fictitious sorrows . We call on Berangerto sing ngaln , —( his silence too , when freedom shrieks , is & pnblie calamity!)—not those notes of mirthful glee which in the wild daya of his youth , gladdened France ; but those mournful strains be modulated jwhen Napoleon fell , berrajed by Fortune—when a generous nature groaned under the sway of foreign invaders . We implore Arago to avert his eyes from theetberial rvgions where alltheydwell upon Is harmony and beauteous order , and to view , for ft moment , a spot on this globe made lovely by nature but rendered hideous by the Wan-inflicted wretchedness of its inhabitants . We entreat the great historians and

      chroniclers < of France- ' Thiers , Michelet , Thiery , Migmt , ViUemain , Barente , Pierre Roux , Tfiebodeaux—to record the wrongs of Ireland , in annals that will never dl ? .

      " The address was read and adopted amid thunders ot applause . While Major Darezac was reading the address to the French nation , the meeting was very agreeably interrupted by the appearance of several Irish Societies and Ward meetings with splendid banners , preceded by a band playing the airs of Ireland , and led to the meeting by Mr .

      •¦ Mr ; Carr moved the , following resolution which was adopted , unanimously' ] Resolved—That believing that the cause of Repeal is the causa of Freedom and good government , and that the success of the cause ia essential not only to the happiness of Ireland , but to the interest ! of true liberty throughout the world , we astthe happy subjects of a Free Government cannot but regard with feelings ef the strongest Indignation the threat to check the agitation ot the subject by the bayonet and the sword ; and that in case the oppressors ol , Ireland should attempt to cany such , a threat Into execution we would recommend them not to waste all their , energies upon Ireland , but to reserve some ot their military resources for tbe Canadas and the United States . ' " Mr . Melvilleand Mr . Barberalso addressed the meeting , when Mr . M'Keon moved an adjournment .

      * ' Mr . Melville then called for three cheers for ' Inland , O'Connell , and Repeal , ' which were given with a spirit we never heard equalled . ; The evening being fine and still , the cheering was heard in several streets surrounding the Park . " We cannot conclude this setting forth of the Movement in America in aid of the Repeal of the Irish Union , without giving the Leading Article of the Truth'teller ot the 15 th of jTune lapt ; the paper from which we have extracted the matt&already given . From that Artiole the people of Great Britain will-learn what are the feelings , desires , and

      expressed intentions of the , American " sympathisers . " : It ia of the last importance that they should bo learn them . We give the article at full length , that thbremay be no possibility of misconception or t misunderstanding on the part of the reader . Here it is , every word : and it is of the greatest consequence . Let it be well pondered overand let it prompt to a right and just course of action .

      proposal of Mr . , Mullen , in the * second day V proceedings of the New York Repealers ] . Once let Ireland be stricken , and there is not a society of Irish Repealera In America that would not furnish its quota of money , men , and military atorea to the straggling patriots of the Green Isle , despite the efforts of the general Government of the Unit « a States to the contrary . Let Ireland be Stricken by the first Saxon mercenary . ; and the moment the news arrives here her manufactures will be flung into the s « a from every ship bearing her colours in our harbours by the outraged people of America , from Boston to New Orleans .

The Irishman of New York would be the first to retaliate ou the oppressors of their father-land , there will not baa Bptiah ship left entire in the harbour of New York on tbe evening of that day when the news arrives that Ireland is stricken !

      " This is the resolve of the Repealers of America 1 and they have the power to put it into execution at every port ef this great Continent Let Ireland be stricken by 3 single hostile shot—let any of her sanctified c ! ergy or her indomitable champion O'CouneU , be arrested in their ! peaceful agitation , then would the 250 , 000 Irishmen' in London , the 80 , 000 Irishmen in Manchester , the 190 , 000 Irishmen in Liverpool , the 80 , 000 Irishmen [ in Giasgow , be called upon by the voice of nature and country to retaliate J And what have they not int their handa to accomplish ? Have they hot power t ' o destroy the commercial power of England by a Hiraulta . neoua burst Aye , the whole of hex manufacturing piles could be given to the flames itt . a single night ! iand would be given , ; were the bloodhounds of Toryism let loose on the people of Ireland . "Ibank beavenl the people ef Ireland have outgrown toali manacles—have established a foreign policy sufficient to ] check the foe and even subdue his power , if that be necessary to their freedom and

      happiness . " France , the old and natural enemy of England—France the old anil natural friend of Ireland—will be again , In the day jo ! trial , on the side of virtue and Erin . But the people of Ireland are a match even as they Btand for tbe Peelites . Subtracting from the eight and a half to nine ! millions , which compose the population , tbe 500 t ( Episcopal Protestants who ar « supposed to be so -wedded to the Established Church , that they would even fight to uphold the corrupt mass ; subtracting these , we pay , from the population of Ireland , there yet remain eight millions , whose interest clearly is the well-being land happiness of Ireland . Hew is this power to be dealt with ? They are sober , anted , and disciplined . They are led to the fields of meeting

      even now , by their ( Clergy , and led back and dismissed with military precision . ! They are instructed from the altar of God , on ttie duties they owe him—and from the same sacred tribunal , and by the same consecrated lips , they are leetured on the duties they owe to liberty and their native land 1 What force has Peel to smother this combination of spiritual , moral , and physical power ? The sabre 1 Ah ! the pike would confuse as truly as the sabre i Let Peel remember the battles of Wexford , Eoniacorthy and Vinegar HilL Let him remember ' the Castlebar Races' anil Ballinamuck ! The pike did all in those places ! and } though by bis Anna Bill and his police he hath disarmed tbe Irish people , we tell him even from this , that a million of steel pikes could be manufactured and sent to Ireland in two weeks

      from tbe first hostile movement he may make . When the French landed ] in Eillala , in 1798 , to aid the patriots , they distributed muskets amongst the peasantry—but the peasantry soon flung them away , and rushed to the charge with their favourite weapon , the pike ; and history tells how they made General Lake and 20 , 000 regulars fly before . them ! Every nation has its favourite , weapon , The pike igallfieen ) is the favourite weapon of the Irish . Every parish smiddy knows how to make it—every peasant know ? baw te use it i A million of pikes could be . manufactured in a month , in Ireland : ( so in physicals Sir Robert would not have it all bis own way . " Again , what may the force be that the Tories could bring ? The ninety jor one hundred thousand military which they call the ' Queen ' s troops' are one half at least Irishmen , and ; Catholics—and is ii too much to add—are Repealers . Does the history of despots

      furnish no instance of volunteers from their seared slaves rushing to the standard of liberty ? Ay , many ! And are we to be told that the army of Ireland contains no Marshal Neys ? j no Mehemet Alis ? Forbid the thought , Goddess of ( sacred Liberty I Then where are those troops of tbe Queen ? Not twenty thousand are to be found in all Ireland , England , and Scotland . The balance are distributed over all parts of the eatth , where they are ukzh&Z , to uphold the blood-stained Sag of Britain , Not a thousand men can ba spared from all the Queen's possessions abroad . Sir Robert cannot attack Ireland with ft fo < ce leas than 200 , 000 armed and disciplined men . ] These cannot be armed and disciplined by a magical invincible process . We must see and hear the thing . ( And the moment we do see and hear it , why , then we may possibly put the Irish people in possession of ja counter-force of which the following is just a alight specimen :

      " James Bergen , [ of New York , xb authorised to pledge the $ ruth and ! honour of a distinguished American practical engineer and protechnist , whose name is knowu to some member * of the Executive Committee of the United IrUb Bepeal Association , but who For obvious reasons would at present remain unknown ' , that he is tbe inventor anil sole possessor of a new destructive projectile , by which be is able , with tbe greatest secresy , accuracy ^ and , certainty to destroy , at one shock , any edifice in England , or asy ship upon the Irish coast ; aud that jupon the instant when it shall be known that British steel has , on Irish soil , drawn Irish blood , he will , as an American hater of despotism , take tbe necessary measures to place this power at the disposal of Daniel O'Connell and the Irish people . ••

      " 'He also declares , his willingness to assist tn fortifying the Harbours of Ireland upon this new , cheap , and terribly effective plan ; and having tried it , he can con * vince even tbe chance victor of Waterloo , that tbe combined Navy of England could not enter Cork Harbour without the certainty of destruction to every ship and to every man . He ja ready to go to-morrow , and asks no man's aid in this enterprise . ' , "Now , who is ' James Bergen '? We will tell Sir Robert that he is a relative of Sisbop Biggins , and the Grand Marshal of the Repealers of tbe City Of New Yorkf

      " Sir Robert will perceive that the Repealers of America are armed at all peints . And as we have taken the trou . le to send him a copy of this paper , and have sent another to Prince Albert , the Government of England will see their way pretty distinctly we guess , by the spectacles which wb furnish them with to-day . ! " We are not leagued together , here for the injury of the English nation . We , believe the English nation , as distinguished from ! xhe aristocracy , are Btrongly in favour of restoring the Parliamentary power of Ireland . This is attested by Mr . Mooney in his judicious address on the ' Fourth Night . ' The great body of

      the people of England have already declatea unequivocally for Repeal . And the great body of the people of England are aa tired of Tory and Whig rule as the people of Ireland . Sir Robert then will have to carry the war into Birmingham , Leeds , and Manchester , as well as into Dublin , Kilkenny , and Limerick . " Tha Fands and the . Factories— -tbe Rents and the Tytbes—the places and ] the pensions—the possessions abroad and the monopolies at home are at stake on tbe one Bide , and the resolute millions of England and Ireland are prepared on the other side to risk their lives on the issue I .

Do not suffer yourselves to be trepanned into any secret society of any sort . Follow the advice of your patriotic clergy ; and when ever that sanctified body call you Into the field in defence of your libetW , the people of America will openly arm in your support There Is no force in America than can or wfll stop them in their determination .
