(From the Mitlin Papers of Monday. Nov. 19.)
DISTURIiEI) DISTRICTS.
From our intelligence, received this morning, we can
perceive no symptom of returning tranquillity in the
Southern Coutt.ies.
About one o'clock, on 11'editesday morning, the
house of the Rev. Henry 13.wati, Vicar of lit uree, C -
ty of Limerick, was attacked for arms, by a numerous
body of insurgents, colisisting, it is said, of tome hun-
dreds. 7.11 r. Bevan, with his son, and servant, made a
stunt resistance, and finally succeeded in compelling the
b inditti to retire. with several killed or wounded. The
p.trticul.uss of this affair are highly creditable to the cool
intrepidity of the Revetend Gentleman and his assist-
ants. The banditti forced the back gate leading to the
yard, but a brisk fire from a window that commanded
this point prevented their approach. Being foiled in
this quarter, they next proceeded to attack the front
door, winch was soon smashed by their sledges. They
now called to Mr. Bet an to silt render his arms ; but
having taken his station at the landing of the staircase,
lie was prepared, and replied, " 0/1114 on, you shall
first have the full betivfit of them." The banditti were
intimidated, not one would enter, and as they crossed
the door, either Mr. Bevan m sun fired. In this
state both parties remained for nearly three hours, and
Captain Rock, dressed in a blue corn, pantaloons, cock-
ed hat with feathers, and a white sash, appeared, when
y gMr Bevan fired, :mil the shot probably took
effect, as the Captain cried out ' minder, and the gang
were instantly thrown into confusion. The party tiiiw
retreated, and were seen bet weeit Briiree anti Chaile-
ville with a car, on which were three wounded men.
The reports of the arms discharged. during this attack,
were distinctly heard at the different houses for some
miles round, and yet none cattle to Mr. Bevati's assist-
ance, which shows th. terror that the marauders have
inipres,,ed on the minds of all tlitougliout the country.
Mr. Bevan deserves the hilliest praise; and if his ex•
ample were followed, the banditti would soon cease to
disturb the peaceable and well disposed portion of the
community.
On Thursday morniug a party of the 40th regiment
had a skirmish, in the comity of 'Kerry, w ith a hotly of
the marauders. In considerable numbers they attacked
the house of Mr. liewsmi, near LtSIOWVI and the fir.
ing was heard by Mr. Church, of (imam trd, a distance
of two miles. Mr. Church, jut. C opt. Ball, Lieut.
Quads, with Mr. Kitson, chief constable, and twelve
privates marched to Mr. Ifewson's house. They took
a circuitous route towards the mountains, as they ex-
pected the banditti to retire in that direetion, which
accordingly happened. The marauders were challenged.
and desired to surrender their arms, but they fired at the
soldiers, who discharged one volley in return, and int•
tnediately applied the bayonet, whit It dispersed them in
all directions Five prisoners, with six horses, two
muskets, and a carbine. all its excellent order, were
taken, and brought in n Listowel.
Between seven and eight o'clock on Tuesday evening,
three men entered Mr. Vize's horse at Fir-hill, atid or-
dered hint to deliver up his arms; lie gave them a pis-
tol, and they retired seetitim:ly satisfied, but to a hew
Minutes ten men reunited, and having draggtd him out,
they placed hint on his knees, and presenting a pistol to
his h.ad, threatened to shoot him if he did not give
them more arms, which, they said, lie pus-vsseil. In
this painful situation Mr. Vlze was kept, until they
searched his house, wit it they retired. Ott Friday
morning a party of the banditti ut.jted the house of J.
Kelly, Esq. near Limerick—they searched fur arttia, but '
having before carried off his blunderbuss awl musket,
they found nothing, and, as usual under such disap-
pointments, they treated the inmates very toughly.
Ott Friday evettind„ Mr. T. Stevens was robbed of
two muskets, within a quarter of a mile of Limerick,
which he intended to deposit for safety its that city.
By letters received from Mill.street, county of Cork,
and us vicinity, it appears that there is tint a gentleman's
residence from Katittirk to that town, with the excep-
tion of I)rtsliatte Castle, the seat of Captain Wallis—
and Itathroe, the seat of pcitis M'Carthy, Esq,—that
had not been visited by those nightly disturbers, who
