Nothing more has transpired about the Boulogne negotia- tions, and
an order has evidently been issued by the Irish leaders of both parties to preserve silence as to their outcome. It is evident, however, that an agreement has been made to avoid bard words and occasions of collision. Mr. Parnell at Tralee praised Mr. O'Brien; and on Saturday the Insup. pressible was suppressed, the editor having received a telegram from Mr. O'Brien informing him that, in consequence of the tone and contents of the Insuppressible, he must withdraw hie name. This means that Mr. O'Brien will not attack Mr. Par- nell ; and on Tuesday Mr. McCarthy, speaking at Manchester, carefully shirked an opportunity of abusing his rival in the leadership. It was at first rumoured that Mr. Parnell, as part of the agreement, would attend no more meetings; but this is now explicity denied. Both he and Mr. McCarthy are to support Mr. Morley's motion condemning the administration of the Crimes Act in Ireland, and it will be interesting to notice which of the two assumes to speak for Ireland.
