[ESUTEE’S TELEGEAMS.] LONDON, May 17. In the House of Commons last night the matter of an alleged understanding between the Government and Mr Parnell in regard to the latter’s release was under discussion. Several Conservatives reaffirmed the truth of the statements which have been current regarding a compact between Mr Parnell and the Government, and denounced the covenant as utterly infamous and degrading. Mr Gladstone, in reply, hotly denied the truth of the assertions, and challenged proof of the alleged compact.

It is believed the capture has been made in connection with the assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr Burke.
