Dublin, July 11.
A first-class sensa- tion has been created in: Dublin and London by the release of correspondence! between the Governor- General of the Irish Free State, Mr. James McNeill, and Mr. de Valera, the President of the Council.

LEGATION INCIDENT.
The letters refer specifically to an incident at the reception given by the French Legation in Dublin on April 24 and also to the refusal of the de Valera Government to
