London, 22nd June.
Mr. Gladstone has announced the revised financial clauses in which it is proposed to preserve the existing taxes for six years, during which time Ireland is empowered to establish new. taxes for herself. But meanwhile she is to contribute to the Imperial Exchequer one-third of her revenue as also the proceeds of any special war tax that may be levied—Ireland is afterwards to collect and manage her own taxes, except the revenue from the Customs, Excise and Post-office.
Mr. Redmond, the Parnellite leader, has announced that he will oppose these clauses.
