Giro thorn back blow for blOw.

But it is not expected that this will be done above board.
Tho revolutionary soldiers will have such a thorough
knowledge of the battle field that no advantages will be
overlooked. The soil of Ireland, too, presents features
that can be made very avacbble obl.clos to invading
and regular armies. Artillery will not bo very effeceve.
There are largo tracts of bog in the country, and the turn-
pikes that traverse them can be ez„sily destroyed, and thus
movements of artillery or cavalry totally prevented. Again,
the roads generally can be cut; and there is so much in-
land water that the best highway in the country could be
flooded by a few peasants in such a manner as to annoy
foreign regular troops, however strong.
We can only exclaim, with Dominie Sampson,
Prodigious !

The Cattle Plague in Belgium•

--.0--

The hzde'pendance Beige publishes the following •.
,t A letter from Douvrain says :—' During the
last month our village has been in a state of deso-
lation. The cattle plague has declared itself in
three farms, and six cows have been killed. It has
now broken out in one of the large farms,
and no leas then ten head of cattle are
killed daily. Wherever the plague has ap-
peared the police have ordered the cattle houses to
be closed with the following notice to be placed
upon the doors :—" Shed closed in consequence of
the cattle plague or contagious typhus." The roads
leading to the sheds are also prohibited for the pas-
sage of cattle, so that silence and cessation of labour
give a mournful aspect to the place."
" A letter from Hasselt says The number of
cattle attacked by the plague is now 55, of which
five were not inoculated and 50 inoculated. Five
inoculated beasts have been slain since the above
return. A new.remedy is spoken of as efficacious—
the rubbing in of petroleum."
