PROSPECTUS

or A ‘
NEW WEEKLY IRISH JOURNAL,
TO BE CALLED

“THE PH(ENIX.”_
Ofiice, 6 Centre street, New York.

Tun tirst number of the Pnosxrx will be issued on Wed-
nesday for the week ending on the 4th of June next.

The proprietors of this enterprise desire to be as brief
and explicit -as possible, in stating the principles on, and
the objects for, which it is undertaken.

The principle is this : _The capital has been subscrib-
ed in shares of $25 each, to be limited to two hundred,
and the financial department will be under the supervi-
sion of a Committee, to be named by the Shareholders ;
but the policy and course of the Journal shall not be con-
trolled, in the least, by any persons having a pecuniary
interest therein. 1

In this the PH(E.._‘lIX will be entirely different from all
other Irish Journals. It will occupy a position of com-
plete independence. It will announce its own doctrines,
and enforce its own opinions, independent of preconceived
views, interests and prejudices, to none of which it will
ever cater. '

The name PH(El\'IX suggests the principles and objects
of the Journal that assumes it ; being emblematic of a re-
surrecfion and a new existence. Its efforts will be main-
ly, if not exclusively, devoted to inculcate the belief,
and elevate it into a conviction, that it is the paramount

First.——'I‘o disconnect
ciations.

Secondly»-To abstain froyu any participation in the
f-.z:ee of-skeuslag mgmxsgrs to the English Parliament‘. 

Thirdly.-To enter into an extensive, sincere and
brotherly combination among themselves.

Fourthly.—To base that combination on a stern resolu-
tion ; to use all honorable means, and seize on every feasi-
ble opportunity to extirpate. root and branch, from Ire-
land, the English garrison, English government, English
laws, English land tenure, and all the adjuncts of English
usurpation; to restore the soil of the Island to the Irish
people ; and for this end make immediate and continuous
preparation; and regard all legitimate weapons as fair,
all aid acceptable, and every chance a pre-ordained op-
portunity. -

In this will consist the first, last and_chief object, duty,
aim and ambition of the Pncnrzrx.

With the partizanship of American politics it will not in-
terfere. From American factions and cliques, it will keep

tirely aloof. It will not hesitate, however, to advocate
$3 principles of genuine Republicanism here as well as at
home; and it will be prompt and proud to uphold all good,
generous and honorable men, who are true friends to hu-
man freedom, without reference to their political con-
nection in America. It will especially sustain and en-
courage those whose sympathies are in favor of the liber-
tion of Ireland, and expose and oppose the enemies and
maligners of the Irish name and race wherever they pre-
sent themselves.

With what ability Tun Pucsxix will be conducted; with
what interest its literature will be invested; and with

themselves from all English asso-

forced ; how far, and in what respects it will cxcelother
Journals, and commend itself to the educated, high-minded
and brave, this is not the place to say. Ot,:_' its merits or
demerits,lct performances and not promises be the test.

The policy which the Pncnmx will inculcate, and the
principle of action it will recommend, will be under the
sole direction and control of JOHN (YMAHONY.

MR. JAMES ROCHE, late of the Irish News, will be
the Acting Editor, and to him all communications on
literary subjects must be addressed.

NOISELESS
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE

Is rapidly superseding all others for family use’. The
Donnrn LOCK-STITCH formed by this Machine is found to
be the only one which survives the wash-tub on bias
seams, and, therefore, the only one permanently valuable
for Family Sewing.
Read the following testimonial:

...g’_

Messrs. Gnovnr. & BAKER: »  .,,.

Gentlcmen,—-It is with pleasure I acknowledge, after
a number of months’ hard use of one of your celebrated
Sewing Machines, the perfect and entire satisfaction it
gives. We have kept it almost constantly in motion,
making up table-cloths, napkins, sheets, pillow-cases,
towels, &c.,, the most of which are very hard material for
ordinary hand-sewing; but with your machine, instead
of hard labor. it is mere pleasure. Your Sewing'Machine
is now considered an indispensable article in this hotel.

Yours, with respect,
E. HOTCHKISS, Steward.

Thousands of these machines are now valued as precious
jewels in homes where, before their introduction, the
luxury of perfect sewing was never known. They are
offered to the public as an article which never failed to
give entire satisfaction.

THE EiSTABLIb'.HMEN
OF TZIE “UNITED IRISHMEN."
THOMAS REYNOLDS.

Continued from our Last.

apublic bnrclzrn, as odious to his cmploycrs,.as
he was detestable to his country. How many
he had done to death, or exile, it would be dis-
gusting to count; for each name would invoke
some new atrocity in the career of the betrayer.
He removed to London to receive his reward.
The only one, stipulated, was an annuity. of
£1,000. This sum, ample in itself to maintaina.
family accustomed to more luxuries than that of
Reynolds, was only regarded by him as a mere
pittance; and he demanded, at once, a different;
and a higher compensation. , He needed Wealth,
and he needed position. For both some diploma-
tic appointment was necessary. He could com-
mand his own terms. That is one of the penal-
ties that must be paid for informers’ services.
They became masters of their employers by
being possessed of their secrets. However dis-
gusting to the minister, who used Reynolds the
informcr’s arrogance, he dared not refuse his
demand, for if he did, he would play the same
part Birch did in a later day, and the infamies,
he had it in his power to reveal, were, of course,
for more revolting. Accordingly salary and po-
sition were granted him. He was appointed
Consul to Lisbon with a salary of £600 per an-
num. He did not remain at his consulate for
three months in the year, successively, though
he held it for four years. He was always hang-
ing round Downing street, alike unwelcome ‘oo
Castlereagh, as to the uudcrmost serviior in his
office. Reynolds knew, in fact, that he was de-
tested as he was detestable; and, perhaps, he

ates, expressly to shut in the inward hell, which
must be always present to him, ambng a strange
people, where he was chained to his own hideous
sense of guilt and where, despite his wealth and
state he was an outcast. Frequent threats were
made that he would be deprived of his consulate
if he did not attend to its functions. He scoffed
at the minister, and, like the Ghoul in the fable,
still demanded “more!” “ more!” At one time
it was a commission for his son, at another an in-
crease of salary for another son, a clerk, and at
another some position for a relative. Under
whatever pretence, he was always a suitor, and
always successful. The minister often cone
plained and often menaced ; but always yielded
at last, which shows how terrible the secret of
which he was possessed.

When he returned from Lisbon, in 1814, times
were changed indeed. The lapse of years and
the renascent life of the nation, inspired with
new hopes and busied with new pursuits, had
- deprived the information, which lay hid in the
ruffian’s heart, of its importance, and he found
h mself treated not alone with coldness and con-
tempt, but with absolute scorn. He was assi-
duous and insolent, however, in his demands ,
and as a sort of compromise he was appointed
Consul to Ireland,» an appointment, in itself,
sufficiently indicative of the frigidity of the ap-
preciation in which he was held. fiis salary
here was only £300 and he was informed, if he
did not repair to his destination, he would not
receive a shilling. Trusting, however, to his
lucky stars he refused to leave London,
and though now openly excluded from the
society of even the meanest subordinates
of those he so unscrupulously served,» and in
whose interests he had sacrificed all that is dear
to man, his audacity did not forsake him, and his
avarice remained unsatisfied and insatiable.—-
Death relieved many of the men he had in his
power from the terrors he held over them ; and
the_ circle where his evil influence reigned be-
came narrower and narrower. So, too, did that
fof his revels and enjoyments. He had no friend
on earth. He felt the cold hand of neglect
clutching his very heart with its icy fingers, and
he had no more power to repel or evade it than
the dead have to scare away the worms. In-
deed, it may be more aptly said, that his heart
was an empty sepulchre where all had been de-
voured. His name he knew was consecrated to
infamy in the memory, the traditions and the
history of his country. .However the cowl of
faction may screen his hidden rottenness of
heart, he was aware that it was already becom-
ing an object of equal disgust, to those who had
used him, as those against Whomhehad_been used.
