The Address from the City of Cork, has been doubt leas presented to his Excellency ere now ; and we anti cipate that reception, and immediate answer to it, which the high respectability of the Deputation, and the intel ligence of those who sent them, deserve. We shall, in all probability, be enabled to present it to the public when next we appear before them ; and in the mean time we leave those who, with professions of loyalty on their lips, are renegades to every true p►inciple of it in their hearts, to the pursuit of that work" which they have assigned to themselves, of encouraging a recep tion of the daring outrage on the Marquis Wellesley,by representing that which has already taken place in the point of view iu which it is set forth in that following placard, copies of which are plentifully disttibuted, and the authors of which are well known. £OOlll5 or TOR 'MURAL CITI S SYS 011 COIN.

We his Majesty's most enlightened and liberal sub jects, the undersigned Citizens •f Cork, beg leave to congratulate your Excellency, on your late providentia escape from a dreadful and treasonable plot ; deliber ately tormed and daringly attempted to be carried into effect, by assassinating your Excellency with an empty bottle and a watchman's rattle. " While we look with horror on this deeply conceived plot, we cannot help feeling the most heartfelt satisfac tiOnott the opportunity it affords as, and all truly, liberal, and enlightened citizens, of retorting on an intolerant `faction, those charges of murder and assasioation, re bellion and disaffection, so unjustly charged upon the true patriots and emancipators of their Country; but so torioasly imputable to this exterminating and bigot tad banditti. "We cannot soffielently admire and appleud your Excellency's calm and dignified demeanour; so heroic ally evinced whilst. with an Empty Bottle in your Eye, and a Watchman's Rattle at your Ear. in the midst of excessive heat and alarm, your Excellency was pleased to listen to, and enjoy an air so peculiarly adapted to the moment. as that of " Here in cool grot and mossy cell ;" and we most earnestly iecommeed it to,sll your Excellency's &censors, as a proper Air to be substi tuted for thoseeee melees and ill adapted Tunes heretofore Geed on ell State occasions. " Long may your Excellency continue amongst us, and thus afford us frequent opportunities of testifying oar Loyalty to that Sovereign (to whom we omitted a congratulatoryAddrese. on his escape, when shot at in the City of bonitos) and of repeating our attachment to the Illustrious House of Hanover. and our Glorious Con ititntloo."

An extraordinary Police is ordered to be stationed in the Barony of Rathcoorath, County Westmeath.— , (Ibid.) (TROY TUC DUBLIN TRUMAN'S JOURNAL.) ENNIS. JAN. 4.—lt is our painful duty to mention this day an unfortunate circumstance which occurred at Moyhill, in the barony of Inchiquin. Lieut. Franklin, of the Revenue. proceeded with a party of the army, stationed at Ennaiatymon, to the plats above-mentioned, and seised and destroyed some illicit malt; be was returning, when a young man. about 21 years of age, named Hehir, came to him, and begged to get back the bags, which he alleged were bags be lent the person who had the malt, for the purpose, as that person stated, of taking corn to market—this Lieutenant Franklin thought proper to refuse, on which Hehir be came exceedingly insolent and abusive, whereupon the Lieutenantattempted to arrest Hehir, who fled into a bog, where he was pursued by the Lieutenant on horseback, but his horse getting stuck in the bog, he drew a pistol from the bolstor, and ran after him on foot, till he over• took him, on which Hebir perceiving the Lientenaat to be some hundred yards detached from his party, and thinking, no doubt. be should be able to overcome him, for that purpose, struck at the Lieutenant several times with a two handled wattle; the Lieutenant then (as our informant states,) and not till then, fired his pistol, a hall from which unfortunately entered near Hehir's right eye, and came out somewhere at the back of his bead. The lieutenant proceeded directly to En aistvmon, and sent Dr. Finucane to see if an thing could be done for Hehir, who is still living , wi th how ever. we fear, little hopes of recovery. Lieutenant Frank lin was sent into our gaol yesterday evening. escorted by a party of the Ennistymon Police, under a warrant from Tomkihs Brew. It.q. where, we suppose. he must remain until the result of this melancholy affair is known. However, if the above statement be correct. in case of !debit's death, the Coroner's Jury, which we would here suggest, ought to be respectable, will, we have no doubt, give Mr. F. his liberty, by bringing in a verdict accordingly. We understand, from unquestion able authority, that an investigation was this day held before Major Warburton and Boyle Vandeleur, Esq, Collector of Excise, relative to the above circumstance, which we are happy to say, terminated most favourably to Mr. Franklin. the particulars of which bare been transmitted to the Hon. Board of &mist., in order that Mr. Franklin may be admitted to hail." LiTI FM AT LUNG'S Hurat..---John Long respect fully begs leave to inform the noblemen and gentlemen, who have honoured him with their patronage, that he has purchased the Claremont Hotel, opposite his late re sidence, in which the business will be carried on 'till his house is rebuilt. J.

Herman, Portugal, and 31aileira wines, is not injured by the tire. Mr. Long begs to infer his grateful acknowledge ments to his neighbours for their assistance doting the fire, and particularly to Messrs.
