ICILIENNT. DECEMBER 18.
We lament to state. that we hare received from
• very tespectable informant. • particular confirms.
tarn of the atrocious acts of outrage lately corns
.pitted altar Johnstown, in Gslmoy lierony.—The
icdividnal who has suffered by this inhuman violence
is Mr. John Minim, brother of the highly respected
Titular Bishop of this Diocese. It appears that
cm the eight of Wednesday the Bth inst. five coos,
the property of Mr. Marom, were shot dead on a
farm of his, at Etrk, near Johnstown in this
county; and that durinic the preceding week seven
eke's, also part* of Mr. Manim's stock. on the farm
allotted its, weer killed—the throats of the animals
losting been deeply cut. The cause of this feroci-
ous satrap is the firmness of Mr. Mariam in con-
stoning to hold land which the former occupants
114d' surrendered. in consequence of their inability
to pay their rent. The perpetrators of thew in.
tiniest, cruelties have also written to Mr. Martini,
theestetsing him with death should he persist in
holding the laud to questiou.—(lliod valor.)

" A Colonel of the Legion expensed • wish not to have
the regiments brigaded before the arrival of the General,
when General Englivh replied, ' The arrangements mode by
General D'Evrertex must be attended to in every respect; I
shall consult his instructions, and examine the dates

senior Colonel, was immediately, according to the
