tiBLIN, Not. 7.

Oa Tuesday evening an attack was made oil
JONES'S hatiie, at Fortick''s Grove, in :which two of
the villains were-killed on the spot, and two more
were wouulleckanli made- prisdners, from whom im-
portant, intbrmadon, relative to a numerous baniitti,.
associated for extensive der.redatioNS is the vicinity
of Dublin, may be expelled.
Mr..ONS (Patentee of the Theatre-Royal) had'
received private information that his house at For-
tick's Grove, near this city, would be attacked by
a desperategang of armed robbers‘on that evening..
Determinekt to give the, assailants a ?.00d reception,
he procured the assistance of, an O'dicer and nine
privates of the Tippetary Militia, whom he intro..
citiced into the house in the evening ; and, with
Captain GODVREY, of the Peace Establishment, and
Dr. E. Tr,F,voa, waited for the attack. , •
'The soldiers were posted in an upper room ; the
Officer, -with Mr: JeNis and-the other Gentlemen,
remained in-.the parlour... About ten o'clock; one
of the Company having occasion to go to the hall
door, .a banditti of seven armed villains rusied him towardS the parlour, where the foremost of
them observing the Officer to rise with 'a design of
resisting; discharged a pistol, and, we regret to say,
wounded him severely in the shoulder; the shut
was instantly returned, and the robber, fell dead:
The soldiers now rushed down stairs,, and in the
hall,killed'one of the villains, ,who was retreati;z,
and' made prisoners„of two otherS. The renriini'g
three, unfortunately for public justice, escaped in
the confusion. The two prisoners were yesterclay.
morning brought into Dublin, and examinatitms
being sworn, bills of indiAtnent were selit 'to'
the Commission Grand fury,' then sitting, \A Ai.

It cannot be doubted that the -power of heFrench

torn from their (aunties, with hardly any regard to

and still 'maintain, has spread misery and horror
over vast .multitudes of the people---all of whom.

tuation he, n his usual sinypathisin?' manner, pro-
, cured the unanimous consent. of the cabin pas-
sengers and brought-her into the after-cabin. The
cabin passengers, twelve in numl?er,. opened a con-
tribution and:raised three pounds seven shillings for
her support. The, Captain, at whose inquence this
sum was raised, not only returned the passage-
money but added liberally to the.ctmtribution.

therefore, some among you are anxious to interrupt
.me. -From what cause thisinterruption proceeds,

I am sure that you wiaL if you are not already sorry
for any concern you may have,. taken in . the riot
which occqii-eci on the first days of the Eledion;
particularly when rntlian'was,urged to strike

me. In consequence of that 'stroke; Gentlemen,
I was told that it was unsafe for me, to venture here,
at least that if I shOuld, I ought to avoid the crowd.
But'l am not to be intimidated, and, therefore, in-
stead of entering at the private du::r of the hustings,
I came round the Garden, and no .one has dared to

attack me. i•
" In stnding here, Gentlemen, a" Candidate for
vein- favoilr, I must observe that, when others Call-
upbe you 'to attend to what they say they will do;
am justified calling upon you to recolle6l what
I atanally done ; I put, my practice against their
professions; 1 o&r the proof of my life against their

the friendless, or the needy (applause) ? But I can-
not'persuade myself to believe.that any other than
hireling ruffians could be found to abuse me (ap-
plause and hisses). With every regard, Gentlemen,
toryour interest, but with the utmost contempt for
,your insolence, I have only to add, that I thank my
friends, but scorn my enemies.".
A Gentleman returned thanks to the Electors on
Cie Tartrof Sir Samuel Hood,
I.lr. PAULL came forward, .and began by alluding
to, what lie called the boast of the place-hunting
Member for Coventry, the hack of the Treasurer of
the Navy, that Mr. Sheridan would poll five to
one against hiin to-day," and begged the Meeting
to. contrast that boast with the result of the poll.
Instead of being lower in number than the matewho
bad soelcing duped the people by professions of 'at-
tachment to freedom, but who 'had now, by a sean.
dalous coalition, thrown himself into the arms cif
the Court,' he was considerably above him. • tut
such .a result was naturally to be expeeled from the
condua of, him, who,' instead of coming forward
to ask pardon of the people for his apostacy, sought
refuge `from their indignation in the patronage of
the Court—here Mr. Paull dwelt upon Mr. Sheri-
clan's condua respeEting the transfer, -or-tale, as he
termed it, of the City of Westminster to Lord
• Percy, by whom, and his father, the Duke of
Northumberland,.• that Gentleman had been lately
treated wills the utmost contempt. , From this the
klonoureible Gentleman passed on to Mr. Sheridan's
attachment to place—his- coucluti,in plaCe, and, his
Don-attendance. in the House of Commons, in the
course of the last Sessions of Parliament, particularly
contrasted with the attendance of him (Mr. Paull).
The Hon. Gentleman, in cemparing his pretensions
with those of Mr. Sheridan, stated the votes he had
given against any undue increase of the burthens of
the people, and particularly against that provision
on a tax bill whiclegeented to the, property of fo-
reigners in our funds a pretedion refused to pro-
perty of Englishnien ; and also his endeavours al-
most alone to bring tO• the bar of English justice an
English Governor, -',''loin he, in his conscience, be-
lieved to be one of the greatest State delinquents the
history of this country, or perhaps that of the world,
liad ever recorded. After contrasting, still farther,
the claims of Mr. S. to popular confidence with
' which he had alledged, the Hon.. Gentleman
tool notice of the cry of Jacobinism which had been
raised igaiiist But, in ord.er ,shew,that
irovtati6n applied much more to Mr.She-
