pardon of all whom I have injured in any way.

In reference to the attack on the van, I confess I nobly aided in the
rescue of the gallant Colonel Kelly and Captain Deasey. It is well
known to the whole world what my poor country has to suffer, and how
her sons are exiles the world over; then tell me where is the Irishman

treated like murderers and robbers in British dungeons?

May the Lord have mercy on our souls, and deliver Ireland from her
sufferings. God save Ireland!

WILLIAM PHILIP ALLEN.
