DISTURBED DIS From our ititelliaence ' received this morning, we can perceive no symptom of returning tranquillity in the Southeast Colin irs. About one o'clock, on Wednesday morning. the house of the R. v. Henry Bevan, Vicar of I3ruree, Coun ty of Limerick, was attacked for arms, by a numerous body of insurgents, consisting, it is said, of tome hun dreds. Mr. Bevan, with his son, and servant, made a stout resistance, and finally succeeded in compelling the b.ntlitti to retire, with several k Melt or wounded. The particulars of this affair are highly creditable to the cool intrepidity of the Reverend Gantleatian and his assist• auts. banditti Intend the hack gate leading to the yard, but a brisk fire from a window that commanded this point prevented their approach. Being foileil io this quarter, they next proceeded to attack the front door, which was stem smashed by their sledges. They now called to Mr. Beim' to surrender his arms ; but having taken his station at the landing of the staircase, he was prepared, and replivd, " Coin: on, you shall first have the full benefit of them." The banditti were intimidated, not uric Windt] enter, and as they crossed the door, either Mr. Bevan of his son tired. In this state both parties remained for nearly three hours, and Cipsitt nook, dressed in a lilac coat, pantaloons, eeck ed hat with feathers, am, a w bite sash, appeared, when young Mr Bevan fired, and the shot probably took effect, as the Captain cried out murder, and the tang Wee instantly thrown into confusion. The party now retreated, and were seen between Bruree and Cherie. ville with a car, on which were three wounded men. The reports of the arms discharged, during this attack, were distinctly heard at the different I es for soliw miles mend, and yet none came to Air. Bevan's assist ance, which skews tit. terror that the marauders have impressed on the minds of all throughout the cotititrv. Mr. Bevan deserves the highest prance; and if Ins ex ample were followed, the banditti would moo cease to disturb the peaceable and wail disposed portion of the community. Ott Thursday morning a party of the 40th regiment bad a skirmish, in the comity of Kerry, with a body of the marauders. 1 n considerable numbers they attacked the house of Mr. I lewson, near Listened ; and the fir ing was Finial by Mr. Church, of Gertenard, a distance of two miles. Alr. Church, jun. C Lieut Quade, with Mr. Kitson, chief &astable; and twelve privates marched to Mr. Ilewsort's hnu.e. They took a circuitous route towards the mountains, as they ex pected the banditti to retire in that direction, which accordingly happened. The marauders were challenged, and desired to surrender their anus. but they flied at the soldiers, who discharged one volley in return, and im mediately applied the bayonet, which dispersed them in all directions Five prisoners, with six hareem, two muskets, and a carbine, all in excellent order, were (Aril, and brought inol.istowcl. Between Bevan and eight o'cloe• cut Tneselav evening, three meet cooled Mr. Vize's house at Fur-hill, and or dered hint to &liter up tuts arms; he gave diem a pis to!, and they retired seeutiintly satisfied, but iii a pew minutes ten men returned, and hating dragged 1111111811, they placed hint out Ins knees, and presentiug a pistol ' Ills ht ad, threatened to shoat hiin if he did not give them more arms, which. they said, he possessed. In this itairaltil situation Mr. Vize was kept, until they se:acme.' his house, when they retired. On Friday iiiiii mug a party of the hanlitti visited the house of J. Kelly, Esq. near Limerick—they searched for anus, but having belore carried off his blunderbuss and musket, they found nothing, and, as usual under such disap. pollen:taus, they treated the Milieu., very . ..roughly. On Fiiiiay eveiting, Mr. I'. Stevens was rooked of two muskets, within a quarter of a mile of Limerick, which he intended to deposit for safety in that city. illy letters received front Miq-strert, county of Cork, anti its %Milky, it appears that there is not a getitleenait's residence from Kanturk to that town, with the eteep lion of I hislume Castle, tile seat of Callum) Wallis— and Rathroe, the seat of Denis MlCarmy, Estiazetliat had not been visited by those nightly disturbers, who prowl about in watch of army. In most instances the% have succeeded. Oit Monday night a large party sur rounded the residence of Charles M'Carthy, Esq. of Church-hill, and immediately forced open the neck dour; Mr. NlsCarthy awl Isis sous being theta in the Ct ttttt ty of Kerry, no opposition could be offered. After searching the house most minutely, they obtained a sword and two slim Mulches, wilt which they appearee sit thsappointed that they proposed sweatioe a female in the house as to where ally oilier anus could lie found. They then proceeded to the houses of two tithe-prat. tors, and destroyed their valuation books and all their tunes; alter thus they took the route to Italhrl+e, and broke some windows, but offered no further violence. On Thursday a Altering of Ma g istrates and C.:Ault, melt of the comity of Cud: was held at Butte am, winch was tiumeinitsly and resiteetaltiraitentled. Alter the 11 , .n. H.

They complain of the re •al of the police from some parts, and the re duction in others; but let them arm and support those who deserve protection, at their own expellee, and they would soon restore tranquillity. ( From the Limerick Papers of Saturday.) It is currently reported that Mr. Drought, a very efficient Ala,ostrate of the King's Gounty, is to superin tend the liolice establishment in the liberties of this city. The head-quarters of the police will, it is stated, be fixed at the main guard-house, George's Quay. DARING ATTEMPT AT MURDER.--'Phis between five eat: six o'clock, John M'Queen, of the OM Ili , ..thlanders, a sentinel posted at the King's stores, in llardvk,, whilst walking from his box at the corner of the station to the extreme end of the building, an assassin rushed from under the shed, near the stores of J. Kelly, where the villain had concealed himself until the soldier was within two feet of him, when he fired a pistol At his head—the sentinel had heard some noise in that direction, and was appniaching to ascertain the LJuse, when he put up his hand to compress the light, and at that instant the shut was fired at him—two slugs were lodged iu Ins hand, and tile powder completely burned the hair oil that side of his head, and so stunned him that he could not see the ruflim, but heard him re treat towards the cross-lane leading to the linen-hall.— One of-she parish watchman, on hearing the shot, came to his assistance, an l the guard having been sent for, a fruitless pursuit was made. The mayor and magistrates have offered a reward of forty pounds for the apprehension of the perpetrator. Dust. sr, Nov. I9.—The Committee of the Nationa Testimonial have called a general meeting of the sub- scribers, in tic held at the Royal Exchange, on the 29th instant, fur the purpose of receiving the report of the Cotonntiee, and deciding upon the testinuouial to I e erected. It is with great regret we find that the gross amount of subscriptions already paid into the hands of the treawrers, falls very short indeed of those expectations which we, aommott with our cotemporaries, indulged in when this matter was first agitated. We are somewhat at a loss to account for the disap pointment.. The distreas of the tunes, doubtless, are unusually heavy and extensive; but we cannot think Ireland is even yet so poor as to he unali!e to make a larger 'gait/gal enhicription than eleven thousand imilindsl The Duke of ))))) is hy no means popular among leis counti poen ; yet our national subscription to com memorate the visit of our gracions and patriotic King, who lives in the heart of every lrishutan,does not amount icvabove two-thirds of the slim which was raised to build a trophy to perpetuate the Duke's fame ! Surely there is something very strange and unaccountable in this! Al itch advantage was anticipated from the exertions of certain gentlemen, who professed, and undoubtedly felt a great interist in the success of the subscription during the late circuits. Any efforts of this kind, however, if indeed any such were made, appeared to have failed altogether. . _ With the exception of, we believe, a couple of hun dreds of pounds from Waterford, nothing, literally no thing has been received from the country. "Inere was a meeting in Cork, hut no subscription that we have heard of took place there. To be sure, it is not too late. But if the counties do intend to subscribe, they certainly should not proerasti [late any longer. Galway has taken the lead, and we trust its example will be generally followed. SOUTH AMERICA, Letters from Rio tie Janeiro to the 29th of Sep tember, received by way of Jersey, contain the fol lowing intelligence :- 66 We learnt some days ago that General San Atartin had entered Liuta ut the point of the buyoriet. ani that the ecarcity of provisious had previously become so great within the city, that American Hour sold at one hundred and twenty dollars the barrel. This news is confirmed by letters from Buenos Ayres Monett by the sloop Samuel, in 14 drys from that place, where at aria brought by a ihesuren;4li across the Continents. The Blossom slo .p Aral the Beaver b, ig of weir have arrived, to reinforce the squadron tat this station. it itippettcs that the news front Lima wall prevent the Aurora frigate from doubling Cape limn, and that me voyage both of that vessel and of the Alati icy bus been ermine, initiled.
