fore landed, and, led on by.the First Lieut. Eaton Travers, and Lieut.
plprin, of the royal marines, forced their way into the battery in the
most gallant style, under a very heavy fire of musketry, obliging more
Ulan treble theirnumbers to fly in all directions, leaving behind about
so men and 50 stand of arms. The guns, which were 24-pounders,
were then thrown over tt.e cliff, the magazine; &c. destroyed, and the
two rem.iining gun-vessels brought off.
The zeal and gallantry cf all the officers and crew in this affair, could
notthave been exceeded, but I cannot find words to express my admira-
aui at the manner in which Lieut. Travers commanded and headed
the boats' crews, and landing party, setting the most noble example of
intrephlity to the officers and men under him.
Owing to haling winds the ship was unavoidably exposed to a raking
fire going hi, but the foretop-sail-yard shot away, is the only damage of
any consequence.
I have to regret the loss of one marine killad, and two are wounded.
I have the honour to be, &c.

CONS,

'IIL IN IRELAND.

• •

DUBLIN, J. 7.—The f9llowing is given as a correct
statement of the facts relative to the discovery of a trea-
sonable association in Ireland:—
About eight days ago, a Meeting was held of the
Trustees of the Charity School .belonging to the Cathoric
Chapel in Church-street. .1 he School-Master neglected
to attend at the usual hour, and arrived in a state of in-
toxication, as the Trustees vere about to disperse; be was
severely reprimanded for his absence, and required to
state the reason of it. He endeavoured to excuse himself,
saying, that be had been detained by important business—
but, as his duty required that all his time should be devoted
to the school, the Trustees refused to admit any such ex•
cuse, and then he stated broadly that he had been engaged
in the business of the New Association, to one divis►on of
which he said he was Secretary. The nature of this Asso-
ciation was inquired of him, and he gave the following.
account :

That it was an as;ociation instituted for the purpose
of separating Ireland from England, by force of arms—
that it had also for one of its objects the extirpation of he-
resy—that, however, the most active person he knew of in
it was a Mr. Fi,hrn-, a Protestant,. sho assured him, and
the other pers,Jas lie engaged in the plan, that it had the
sanction oi:;1-,e Catholic COIMIllitt?.?, and Mr. Hay was their
Private Secretary—that he had been supplied a b1un-
!.:71,-r.,s, and many others were armed—as it was easy to
prca...rf alms out c f the Stores at the Castle !—and that an
attack was shortl,, to be made in Dublin, as they were
assured that the rison was at present very weak.
Euch was': substance substance of the statement made by this
man. The xstces adjourned to the next day, and then
called hi .::fiire them. liking sober, he wished to con-
retract the facts, but being closely pressed, he ad-
mitted that he had become a member of such an Associa-
tion, and repeated the account he had given the preceding
evening, with this addition—that he believed the name of
Fisher was not a real, but an assumed name. The Trus-
tees instantly dismissed him from his employment as
School-master, and endeavoured to make him sensible of
the crime he had committed, and of the evident falsehood
of the representations that had been made to him.
" On Thursday, the 2d, those facts were communicated,
for the first time, at the rooms belonging to the Catholic
Committee in Capel-street, to Mr. Hay, in thepresence of
Major Bryan. The Gentleman who made the communi-
cation was not present at the examination of the school-
master; and it therefore became necessary to ascertain the
facts from some person who was. This could not be done
until Friday. On that day, several Members of the Catho-
lic Committee met at D'Arcy's, in Earl-street ; and the
facts Loring stated to them, they unanimously resolved to
communicate the entire transaction to the Attorney-Gene-
ral, in the presence either of Mr. Grattan, or of the Knight
of Kerry ; a precaution which, circumstanced as • the
Members cf. the Catholic Committee were, they thought
prudent, and could not be improper.
Neither of those distinguished Gentlemen were in
town on Friday ; but cwiresses were sent them, and also to
Lord Fingal, who was at Killeen Castle ; and early on
Saturday morning the three arrived in town.
Tt was the opinion of those Gentlemen that they
e.ht, in the first instance, to wait on the Attorney• Gen-
