The following ore the most recent advicm from
the county of Galwoy :•

YUAN. FEBRUARY 24.
On Tuesday night lest, we are informed, a slum-
ber of Ribbourtien had the audacity to visit the
truantry of Joists Bodkin, E•q. of Anna (situated
withor six miles of this loco). fur the tourpme of
linkreig these industrious people to their present
chino of misfortune by an oath. They determined
on snaking a resistance to them, its which they so
completely succeeded, as to beat oft these rue-
mks to peace, alter a long and deter' ll ill erl engage-
mem. We hear that one of the Ribbon party
was killed, before they fled, sod a number of them
wounded. Vert little itijury was suffered by the
villagers, who all sustained arid evinced • great de-
gree of coolness and courage. A similar attempt
was made last night on the villagers of Corufits,
within a short distance of the ,hove place, by another
party of Ribbonstieli, and who came well prepared
fur resistance, being folly conscious that they would
get a warns receptor's ; Iw sootier was their arrival
wade known, than the Villagers wereia readiness for
an attack, aliich soon commenced ; the conflict was
desperate out both ',idea, and continued so fur some
tome, until some of the It' bbotimen fell consul-
ed. This circumstance, together with the deter-
mined perseverance of the villagers. soon put an
viol to the battle, awl ••untied a sudden retreat
Oil the part of the Itibborituen. Two men of this
village, who evinced a praiseworthy zeal ou this oc-
casion, art, we are sorry to state, wounded, one of
them datigerously from :a ball, and the other slight-
ly from is bayonet. They, we have heard, have also
committed some eXCest+ll u► the ileighbotirborsl of
Duninore, within the last three nights, and broke
open the doors and windows of theft houses which
were shut up by their (miters, who were obliged to
seek shelter in town. We think that the activity
of the Magistrates, aided by the party of horse sta-
tioned in that town, ►hould be a sofni.•ient means of
putting them dowel.— Taunt (:uxelle.)
It has been thought necessary to countermand
the moveineitts of a battalsou destined for Scotland,
and to direct It• march to this county.—//ba)
A report is prevalent in town this day, that an
engagement took place between the Ribbotamen and
a party of the military &tattooed near Holy it 1111 l sit, 111
