Springfort, Oct. 9.
SIR.—I seed you the following particulars of the attack
od outrage committed upon toe last night at the hour of twelve
o'clock. by en armed banditti, some of whom broke open and
entered my porter's lodge, at the gate of my avenue, and swore
him to inform them of the quantity and particulars of the arms
iu my bombe, and whether I would be likely to deliver them
up quietly. The porter states he decliped giving them any in-
formation. but told them the army would not be given op ;
whereupon they required him to give them a kettle. or any
thing that would carry fire. lie denied haviiig any article that
would suit their purpose. They then asked fur the steward's
house, to whom they went, and from whom thee took lire, and
posted sentinels on the doors of each of there men, commanding
them. u they valued their lives, not to stir out of their houses.
They then proceeded to a haggard in the rear of my dwelling-
louse, which contained upwards of sixty toes of bay, sixty
►egs of wheat in stand, sad 20 barrels of oats in steed, end
ant all oa lire. They next attacked my dwelling-hoes:, with
yells, shooting, en. whistling to the front sod rear, end at the
same time demanding my a• ms, which I peremptorily refused,
adding that I would only part with them with my life. They
said that every geodeman in the country gave up their arms.
gad that if 1 did not give op mine, they would burn my house
and dices. sod • second haggard .f mine—one further re-
itioved then that which was on fire. They then assailed the
minim** of my house with a mixed diaharge of ire-arms and

myself, M►. James Foot (my father), Mr. James Atkin (my
broelier its law). sod a faithful surveet.
~. Thoottook emetitmed for about am hour, the banditti at is-
tenets demanding the arms. which was as repeatedly saswered
by a discharge of arms from the house. I ant, however, sorry
to say oar ire was without effect, except in one Wet:nice :
during the conflict out man came to the end of the house with
a Ilauitteou ; 1 fired at and mimed him : be then ran to the half
dour with We Undies. and some straw, and attempted to set
it on ire, when a shot from one of our party wounded him in
the neck, as he WAS seen to Nagger away, aml was carried °IT
by his comystique. who thereupon led. My father, an old

place where he stood.

also the offices, consisting of . coach-house, bares and potato

hags of wheat threshed ; and on the other side, consisting of s

Sir Hugh Gough, with a party of the 2241 regiment, from
Mattevant, and Captain Heaviside, with a party of the b7th
regiment, arrived about three b'cluek this meroine, but eider-
tonately too late to reader assn talloe.
•• The whole low by 'this outrage may he estimated at from
1001. to 0001. I am. Sir, your very obedient servant,
•• T. W. FOOTT."
The dwelling of a farmer of time same of Donovan, near the
residence of Richard O'Douovao, of DUIIeTWI'S Cove, in the
west of this costal, was foreiby entered on the night of the
let inst. by a party eonsisting of five or six armed mew, with
their faces blackened. Alter abusing Donovan for having
lately takes a farm, they maltreated him and his wife in the
meet Gruel manner, and afterwards robbed the house of 30/.
sod property: We regret to add the man hes since died of his
wounds, and but little hopes are entertained of his wife's re •
covey.
Oe the morning of Sunday last a notice was foond posted on
the ohapel door of Cratioe, civatosoiog persons not to pay tithes
we psia of death.
- Oa the eight of Sunday last, the house of William Park, in
the parish of Dram, county of Roscommon, was set on fire, and
the iatersur of it consumed. Tee only cause to which we can
trace this atrocity i►, that this teoesneut was designed for a
police station.
The dwelling-house of Mr. Joseph Hicks, in the parish of
Kllghisa. comity of Itoecomaion, wee set ea fire, together with
two stacks of emu, in his haggard, by some malicious incen-
diaries, The house, however, war only columned iu part, bid
the corn fell a prey to the lame►.
A spirit of outrage again manifests itself in part of the
barony of Ctanmorris. Ou Tuesday eight a horse was houghed,
and s quantity of corn nialiciou.ly destroyed it the distaste of
