COUNTY GALWAY.

EXTIZACT OF A LETTER FROM MOYNII (COUNTY
GALWAY), D %TED JANUARY 211.
" On Tuesday night, the esth instant, • large
body of those deluded ;serums, who call themselves
lishhonmen. marched along the road f Mop-
tough to Horse-Leap, in the direction to Tuaiti.
They reached Horse-Leap about five o'clock ill the
morning, and their object bring to compel the in-
habitant* of the village of Hauges', the property of
John Browne, of Moyne, Beg. which Is situated on
a height Oboes the bridge of Horse-Leap, to take
those illegal oaths, for the administration of which
they are associated, they funned themselves into
three detachments, and upproacheal the village by
three distioct avenues. The inhabitants of I)en.
gas., who have ever since the commencement of
these illegal proceedings distinguished themselves
for their loyal and declared determination to resist,
to the utmost of their power, any attempt to coerce
them to take illegal oaths, having had information
that they were to be attacked on that night, were
on the alert till very shortly before the time at
*lnch these disturbers of the public peace made
their appearance, when not suspectime that ally
aggression would be made upon them on that
high!, as daylight was nearly approaching they re.
tired to rest, hot hail slot lung lam down when they
were shinned by some persona who had been sta.
Bulled by them for the purpose of keeping watch,
that the Ribbonmen were approaching; nary imme-
diately started from their beds, touted themselves
in the best manner they could, and flew to meet
the assailants. The leader of this loyal bawl, as
soma as he came ovine gun-shut of the insurgents,
flied upon them ; this tire threw them into confu-
sion; one person, animal with a muskets of-
trugeed to return the tire, but missed tire, and
war, therefore, knocked down by a blow of a
stone—but, iii,traittly recovering, lie fled, fear-
Mg his iiiiibket behind him, which, upon exa-
mination, was faitinl to be loaded with slogs.
The insurgent., now in fall retreat, were pursued
anti mulch injured by stones and other missiles,
which were burled at their heads. By this lime an
uproar was heard in the village by the pursuing
party. It appears that while they were following
one party of the insurgents, another party had, by
:mother roil!, I-ruche/I the vintage, and were pro-
ceeding to enter the boosts, when the villagers, de.
their pursuit, returned to the village to
tiro/eel their wives anti children; here a sharp
Lind close conflict ensued, which, however, was
terminated in favour of the villagers over those
intruders upon their domestic peace, who retired
precipitately upon their third division, who appeared
to act as a reserve, but who had not courage to re-
new the action. Several of the insurgents were
nnut severely, and, it is apprehended, vow, of them
mortally wounded in the conflict. but they were
curried oil by the re-tree. The atomiser of the in-
surgents is computed at 500, while that of the loyal
villagers dal not exceed 100; on the valour and
good feeling of the latter it is impossible to bestow
eulEcient praise; wholly utidiseiplustel, and but
rely imperfectly •rinetl, they have achieved a feat
which entitles thew to the gratitude of the county
