DUBLIN, DEc. 1.

Tnr.s day intelligence of a very unpleasant nature
was received in town from Grariard, relative. t 6 a
desperate engagement which took place a day or two
since between the Military and a:strong party of
those disturbers of the peace
.called " Threshers."
The latter, to the number of ion, aisembled in
arms within about ' three miles of Granard, and
threatened immediate destrudion to several persons
in the neighbourhood. A strong party of the Cavan
Militia, quartered in Granard, were immediately
.ordered out, and the Insurgents refusing to disperse,
were fired on, and, after an obstinate engagement,
routed with treat slaughter. Several of them were
and a great number taken prisoners. 'The
jails in that part of the country are full of them: •
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE DONVNS, the ATTOR-
NEY and SOLICITOR-GENERAL yesterday left town
to hold the Commission.

At the Mayo Ele&ion, held at Castlebar, a duel
took place between Mr. W. an Attorney, who acted
as Counsel to the. Returning Officer, and Mr. F. an
Agent, employed on the EtcOlon, in consequence
of a dispute on the hUstings. The fortner.received
Mr. F.'s ball in the groin, and his life is despaired of.

The Cognoscenti who attended the private re-
hearsal, on Wednesday last, at the Opera House,
confidently say " all is confirmed that was reported"
respeaing the great vocal powers of CATALAN'. She
is about five and twenty, and in features much re-
sembles 'Mrs. SIDDONS.

Colonel GRRVILLE is said to be very aalve in pre-
. paring his scheme for private operatic performances
this winter, under the patronage of the higher cir-
cles. BILLINGTON and GRASSINI, it is said, are to
be retained, and- the amusement is likely to make
a dreat noise in -the fashionable world, particularly
as the Colonel, according to report, means to diver -
sifythe treat by poetical 'and literary efisions, and
to crown all with the substantial gratification of a
pie-nic supper.

. .
An unexpeaed pugilistic contest took place at a
public-house in Oxenden-street, on Tuesday even-
ing,. between Jack Ward, of fighting celebrity, and
a Butcher. The parties once befbre had a contest
On the stones, in which the strength of the latter
prevailed. They met again' casually at the place
described, and young Ward, not being satisfied of
any superiority in .the fistic art claimed indire&ly
by the Butcher, challenged him to fight for a sum;
but the latter would not fight for money. Ward;
therefore, rather than be stigmatised, took him at
his word. The fight which followed lasted twenty
minutes. In every round the science of the pro-
fessional bruiser was manifested, and to an ordinary:
penator, it would have appeared that the Butcher.
stood 'no chance. He, however,', contrived generally
to get into his opponent at the end of the round, and
give him a heavy fall, whiCh Sysiem ultimately gave
him the viaory. Ward was su much hurt as to be
carried hoMe.

A dreadful accident happened last week.-.--A.s the
son of a respectable tradesman near Fuihani was
amusing himself with gunpowder, which he had
put into ansolct bellow's pipe, to which he had laid a
train, it took fire before he. was-aware, and forted
the pipe five inches into the tore part of his head
but by the skill and unremitting attention of a Me-
dical Gentleman of that place, lie is now in a fair
way of recovery:

EritrOit, Pssasrarii-rirraa, Dec. 4,
A statement having appeared in the Morning
Papers of this day, signed by 'Captain CLITIt.EROW,
respecting what passed as a meeting between Liens.
General BURTON and Mr. -WHARTON, and which
statement leaves the Public too dutch in the dark re"-
lative to that transaCtion, I take the liberty to re-
.qUest you will insert in your Paper the following
statement as early as you conveniently can :
On the 24th day of last month, MajOr-General
. ESTR received a letter from Mr. WETARTON, wrote
in the county of Durham, requesting him to call on
Lieut. General BURTON, in Upper Brook-street, to
require some explanation on the aubjeal of An attack
made on Mr. WHARTON'S chara6ter, in his Addrest
to the Freemen of Beverley, and that in case redress
could not be obtained, he would a6l as his friend at
any meeting he should fix with the General.
On the; follrfaving day, Major-General ESTR call-
ed at General BURTON'S, and after explaining the
nature of his visit, he requested General litaazs
TON would inform him on what ground he had
founded the aspersion alluded to. General' BUR•
TON not choosing to Comply on' this head, Ge-
neral ESTE desired his pe,rtnission to read Mr.
WHARTON:S statement on the' subject sepposed
to have occasioned it ; which paper being read;
Gen. BURTON said, that be should by no means agree;
to Mr. WHARTON'S statement, but .desired it might
be read a second time, when Gen. BoaTias: made hit
observations upon each paragraph ; Gcnz. ESTE then
observed, that, admitting the whole of the General's
observations to be founded, yet he did not con-
ceive General BURTON to be just;fied in the
public attack he had made on Mr. WtalaToat's
chara6ter; that the offence being of a private na-
ture, a breach of a private agreement, atonement
should lave been sought in a private mariner, befOre
it had been aeted upon in a ,publie one, and entreat-
ed Gen. BURTON:to consult some friend, whose un-
biassed mind would give it a fair consideration.--s
General BURTON declined every thing of the kind.
General EgTE then requested General BURTON to
take a few hours consideration on what had passed;
and he would again call for his determination. Ge-
neral BURTON replied, there was not the least
occasion for giving such triinble, as his, mind
was fixed on the subjeCi ; that the publication had
by• no means been a hasty one, but \vas the offspring
of strong retleation many days after the Eleciicri
ended. Gen. ESTE still pressed a reconsideration
of the matter, in order to prevent his proceeding; to*
the vary disagreeable task enjoined him by his friend
Mr. WHARTON. When General Buttrosr, fixed to
his principle, desired him to prOceed, General ESTE
then read the following propositions; as received frotri
Mr, NV.HARTON.--,
" That Gen.Burron,as a man ofjiistice and honour, should
again address the Freemeit Of iteterfey, arid netituritit them, .
-that,' upon furtlier. Ancittiry, he finds iiirnsel f iiirstalUm Mthe
opirupn he had foruied of the benaviour of iirs la!r Col reattla
at the last Eleetion,and I9nger ascribs to bin; the condua
ha had imputed to him."-4
". That, upon further inquiry into tha v-atisaCtionS of the
late Election, he finds the opinion lie had Nirlied of the equ-
dueit of his late Colleagae, their present RLprese:itative was
erroneous." .
Gen. Burton declared he should not aieree to any such ato:.
position. Gen. t. ste h.tving been authorierd ayNli:Whartax
.accept.any acknowledgment he might think suffiCient; Geri.
Ette proposed that t;en..,Burton 'should draw up 34 propersi_
tion that he himself would accede to, in order to-prevent the
delivery of a message enjoined to Gen. Este, in, case /1".)
pro
per conciliation was offered. General Burton said, that he
should not do arty thing of the kind; that he must abide by,
his own ad, and was well aware that he was answerable to
it, and mentioned a like condua in a former affair. General
Este then fixed the meeting, when General Burton enjoined
his secrecy.

On Monday, previous to the meeting, , General
ESTE talked the matter over with Capt. CLITHEROW;
Gen. BURTON'S Second, and urged every argument
he-could suggest, that some proper conciliatory step
*might be made by General BURTON to set aside the
necessity' of going to extremities, but without of
fect; when the following circumstances took place
near Barnet :—After an exchange of shots, Air:
WHARTON :said, that without designing to injure
General BURTON in his election, and under a mis-
conception, he had stated in a letter to• One of hip
Constituents, that their joint address had not been
written with any view to a coalition, and that he had
so done, imagining Gen. BoaToxr had made a like re-
presentation to his friends; a copy of which letter
he had sent to the Generals and on which the reflec-
tion complained of was founded ; and lie hoped the
General would now do him the justice to explain the
circumstances in another address .to the Freemen:
This the General declined doing, as being a contra-
di6tion of what he had before stated, and which wag
founded on Mr. WHARTON'S Letter.
General ESTE observes, that the ciretirristandeit
herein stated to have passed after the exchange of
shot, may not be corre&ly stated in the Order they
exaaly occurred ; but he does positively aver they
were in substance what passed on the grotind ;' and
that previous to the final adjustment, Gen.'B.traTo4
asked Mr. WitAttroN if he was satisfied, and if not,
he should keep to his ground. Mr. WHARTON said;
that he cane there to satisfy his honour, not private
enmity, and if Gen. ESTE thought he had done stitTh
cient, he should be satisfied; when Gen. BURTdN
said, you have aded as.a brave man; and that he also
bore no enmity, and if you are satisfied, mart willing
to shake hands—or words to that effeat ; when Ge-
neral gsT4.-was of Opinidn the matter should drop;
and the parties advanced towards each other, and
shook 'hands.

INTFRCEFTED LETTERS.

COPY OF A LETTER FOUND UPON PRINCE,
LOUIS FERDINAND OF PRUSSIA (1). •
LIELLEVUE, Ocr, 5, 1866.
4.! I received-your letter yesterday, my dear friend,
and it is not necessary to assnre you what pleasure
it has given me. I, tenderly participate in the emo-
tions you feel, dear Louis, In thinking on the great
events which are impending. I have, since the day
before yesterday, no idea but you ; 'and during the
momentary occupations of the day, am suddenly
taken with the thought, of what 'may at that mo-
ment be passing at the army, and your advanced
guard. Nlay Heaven accept the many vows which
are here offered up for you, my most dear friend ;
and grant you the good fortune and success you
merit We here ,consider the Bth to be the day
when the operations are to. begin. Vedtwa has re-
, mixed a letter, from her sister (2), which gives her
no decisive information upon the state ofaffairs ;
'but tells her, 'That Madame VON NARISCHKIN has
been to see her when going to Leipzic ; and that
the Marquis (3) makes them all happy by his affa-
bility, &c, To-day we learn, tiltit the head-quar-
ters, are ab.ually at Erthrth, and that every:Corps is.
moving forward. Yesterday, letters, apparently
authentic, mention that NAPOLEON has been since
the 30th at Auspach. Judge of. my fright, since
your letter , speaks only of the ad of Ootober as
the day when the troops, will be in a state to.
abide the event. Happily, on. 'a calculation, it.
is • ianpossible that that news can be true. The
Gazettes of the 24th, at Paris, speak only of the
Preparations for his departure ; and I flatter my
sett' x%ith the hope, that hostilities may com-
mence. iefore the arrangements of BONAPARTE he-
c: me dangerous to Us.
" The NEALE.; (1).only quitted Paris the 23d, and
at.a ever since on their way to return by Holland and
Hamburgh. Some days before their departure, a
cook came and had himself announced to NEALE,
asking of him to take him with him to you, -pre-
tending that Marquis Luectitsim gave-him hopes
of being engaged by you.. As, however, the Marquis
bad said nothing about it before his departure to
NEALE, and as this man, had neither a certificate
nor note from the Marquis, to prove the truth of what
he alledged, NEALE did not,,choose .to take with
him, upon chance, a man who might mot answer
you, and who might perhaps be a man not to be
trusted: .LA NEALE has begged me to give you an
account of this.

" ANTONY (5) will be very careful of-your corm,
mission for Madame 14. VON. NARISCHKIN. They
are expected every day- ;- 'and, I am very curious to
see her. She must be charming, according to all
description, and evene.criticisms. It tegired a good
deal of reason for me to resist (you know what) at
Dresden. 'Y our 'letter still augments my regrets.---.
ANT. (6) sends you word, that he would not have.
failed to go-to see you at head-quarters, and that he
is distrazited at not having been yet able to execute
his projeets ; but that circumstance, the unfolding
of which he waits for every day, renders necessary
his presence here.
" MONDAY; G.--We have just been informed,, in
a letter from the Queen, of the arrival of NAPO-
LEON a 4. Wurtzburgh. -_She tells us on the 3d, that
he arrived there the I st. For the first moments this
arriVal appeared to me so unexpeaed, and disturbed
my thoughts so ,much, that I began to fret exceed=
iogly' for your advanced guard, and my imagnation
exhibited tome the most unhappy events. MIMI (7),
who had acquainted me with this intelligence; and
with whom I went to pass the evening, was still
, more tremblingly alive_ than me. -We have, ho-w-
-ever, concluded, by discovering; that we were over-
come by a panic quit unworthy of the Prussian
blood. Mini charges me to tell you, that she is
quite ca s: down ; but hopes your soldiers are better
composed than she has been. She, as well as
Princess WILLIAM, send you a thousand compli-
ments ; and are -enhinced with the article in your
letter, which I have road to them: Thefiissure you,
that they think on every point exaelly as you ; and it
:s only train the reasons that .you advance that they
are tilled with fears and uneasiness. May-other cir-
cumstances avert from this country -;lie dangers
which threaten it, and which, unhappily, are not
Virally owing to our enemies (8).
•"M moister begs me to send you the enclosed,
and to add a thousand 'kind things to assure you of the
pleacnre she shall feel, if, for the moment, this money
may be of any use to You. Say to her, I beg of you,
some kind thing on this subjea ; and dOnot forget
the letter promised to your father.'
" The pending events haye no interest for him,
but your success lias, the news of which he wiAli
impatience- elrpeCts. He ha ,been very much alarm-
od at the -moments of repose which are jusunow
clapSed: lie feared that the French would avail them-
selves of them. in a manner dangerous for you.
" Your little Head of Cattage (j) was yesterday
morning

. . nith play things, and
especially. with a sabre, whidh I had given him. He
is at present.perfeetly at his ease with me, and amuses
himself much among the children. He is very fond
of R,k.r.yZivi L. . . .

" The light horseman, who brings you this letter,
is affeaed as deeply with the account of the eqthu:
siasm and attachment of the troops - towards you,
my good Louis. He particularly extols the Saxon
Cuirassiers, and SChirnrnelpenni4g's

stopped him at one 'of the posts to drink your health,

"- There was an A ssassi•nation,cummit teci. 3 ester-

he was out shooting or hunting, to -come. to the '
house between eleven o'clock and midnight, on the

accident whi::11 the Chevalier had met with in his

to attempt his enterprize—what, doubtless, was the

out for help, when he gave her-two stabs in the, bo-

escaped by the taper going out; and he seized, in- H

The host and lodgers assembled to seek the murderer,
and he was fowid in the parlour, stabbed with the

to wound his mistress. The latter was not mortally
wounded, but the servant has not yet come to a state
of sensibility, although she still lives. Every possi-

in the room, where the beginning of the scene took

COPY OF A LETTER FOUNI UPON AN AM.
DE-CAMP Of PRINCE LOUIS, VERWNAND
OF' NOISSI A.
"I this instant learn that Lomov arrived yester-
day after dinner at Berlin. The'weather is- bad, and
it is too late to hope to see him to-day ; hut I have
just sent to bid him come, to me to- morrow morn-
ing ; and you may well think, my good friend, of the
impatience I shall f feel until I embrace him. Depend
upon it, I shall excite some scolding for not having
learnt the particulars till 24 hours after his arrival.
If we are to believe the news that some persons have
received from head-quarters, it was the Bth that the
last Courier sent to Gen. KNOBELSDORP was exped-
ed to return, When military operations are to coki-
mence. I confess, however, that it appears too little
like probable, that an epoch so determinate should
be fixed upon before-hand;and.so publicly, for a per-
son to believe the news.
" In the scarcity of news here, the arrival of a M.
VON MUNSTER (1 6), a persori a confidence, I be-
lieve, with the Council of Anspach or Bareuth, has
,been much spoken of. He has returned by the: way
of Switzerland, after a stay of some months at Paris
2.; d other parts of France, particularly the Southern
provinces, and from thence he proceeded to the head-
quarters, futruished with news, with warnings, de,
scriptions of spies, projects of conspiracy, &c.
We haVe looked upon it as astonishing enough to,
find him in the secret of such important intelligence;
but what has especially injured the credit given him,
was to find he bad contrived means during the few
hours he was at head-quarters, to get to the bottom
of the- most important secrets of‘the army. He ap-
pears initiated in all its plans of operation, and that
recovers me from the inquietude I felt upon the
subje& of a spy who is absolutely with Hohenlohe's
army, a General of firigade, and follows as a horse-
shoer and farrier, but whose
.description M. Vox
M. has given. For the rest the same General
of Brigade has had proper tine to be duly apprised,
for all this is so publicly spoken of here, that M.
LAFOLET has been, I should think, informed of:it
before ourselves, to whom news arrives twenty-
seven hours later than to the inhabitants of Berlin.
The VEDOVA (17), who is well acquainted with him,
related all to me under the seal of secrecy, which I
found was,already ill-guarded, and I but come froM
a company where every body took their part in the
story. He spoke before the Prince Royal of a con-
spiracy that was ready to burst out in France, and
the chief of which was his friend, and every Mem-
ber known to him. The child said to him :
" How does it happen that, knowing all these
things, you should thus speak of them ? And how
can BONAPARTE, who is so well informed of all that
I passes, remain ignorant of it i" I give you some
