TRAM, APRIL 13.

Tin 3 day five of the nineteen unfortunate men
found guilty at our Assiyes, for the attack no Major
Place and the party of the 77th regiment, at Irg-
',wily, within one mile of this town, were marched
in here for the purpose of receiving a part of their
sentence—namely, public whipping; but an ex-
pectation of their pardon bring entertained, their
punishment was put off until the arrival of the
Dublin mail. At the 11111 l tient we are writing
this, the coach arrived, but brought no respite
for those 'miserable men. In cuosequesice of
which the neetaniry preparations for floggisig
Were instantly put ig teadinesss and they were
whipped, one by one, after a car, throng!'
the principal streets. We never remember to wit-
ness so great an assemblage of people—the punieli-
meat being so novel amongst tio. end we tru►t it
will long continue so; nothing is to be heard in our
streets but the cries of the wives ■nd children of
those deluded sufferers. A strong guard of the
horse and foot quartered here, and a party of the
police Amin/ed.
GALWAY, APRIL 15.
The execution of Daly, Finley, and Lavley,
in this county, as leaders of the Ribbon baud►ttt,
has had a most excellent and timely effect um the
minds of the deluded peasantry. Our letters from
different parts of this great county speak of returning
loyalty, a submissive übediesice to the kiss,
tension to their rural duties; every where the plough
and the spade is seen at work; and the arms that
these ill-advised people obtained, they are giving
tip daily ; indeed this is not to he 'sondemd a►, as
those unfortunate people are most anxious now to
give information against one smother. ever since they
found out that their captains !lad applied all their
tributary offerings to their oan purposes, mid nut
to thin use of the cense it was required for; and that
their treasurer had eloped with the whole deposit.
