(To THE EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR.") SIR, --May I express

to you my appreciation of the wisdom, fair- ness, and generosity of your attitude towards the Irish peace and the Prime Minister. It is what I should have expected of you. I may add that I have long held that if the Sinn Fein Irish got their way their State would be one of the worst governed in the world. We shall see!—I am, Sir, &c..

Gao. Ozanne, Colonel.
