On the city from the Pay and Potonme, so take care of your-
selves, for -I fear we are getting into innohtrouble. I know tile

tion, whenever Madison or -Barney's name is
Mentioned., The. dethroned Tyrant 'is scarcely
more execrated by the people of Paris, Lyons, or

people Of Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's. Curses
are poured out upon hint daily by thousands of
nioutbs, for bringimz the enemy upon them :with-

bISORDEttS" IN 'IIIILLANO

Journal.]

In your Paper of Ttiesday last, you inserted
.from The ..Lilacrick. Ckrbnide, au Accumit of the
horrible assa,sination of Mr. Faw.cett, near Ca-
shel, on licidav, tile 2211. The: account is gene,
correct, but:there are some pat:tieulars; with
which I have.. been favoured, that 1 will briefly
state. •

The unfortunate Young Gentleman wllo fell d
victim to Popish barbarity, was not the fatlier of
the two youths 'who so nobly,defentled their fa:-
ther's house on Christmas day lastj when atta'eked
by an n arred banditti, while ,the Were at
Chinch ; he proves to he the eldest of the two,
who, with his father and .about six others, were
pos!ed up at Clonotilty forassassination, for being
Protestant Yeomen, and signing the Protestant
Petition. He was then only 17 years of age,
when he displayed F,tich resolution
,and courage as
have been equalled by few. Ile and his younger
brother, of about II years,of age, were the only
persons' left in the house, which induced the mur-
derers to 'cherish the idea that they would fall an
easy prey, and that they would obtain possession
of the yeomanry arms in the hous6.
In this, however, they were Completely disap-
pointed ; for, on their approach,. the eldest irn-
inediately barricadoed the front door, which the
villains finding- secured-,, repaired to the back,
which by this time was secured. alfo. One of
them was now-seen 'watching with a piece aimed
for the firstperson xvho should appear at the win-
dow, which the late youth did, when it. was im-
mediately discharged, the contents of which were
lodged in the window frame.' fellOW hating
fired, ran towards the house., under the window,
When young Fawcett fired, and as he stopped-
raked him on the back. Ile then repaired to the
rear of the house, which was now attacked;
When, on seeing the-hands of one on the top of
the door, endeavouring to:force it open, he
pointed his piece in the direetion to hit the body.
The shot prpduced the efteet intended, the' fellow
fell, exel,timing with a great oath, " `fake the
away, for I have got it." They now desisted
from any ftirther attempt, and carried away their
wounded:i

it, now appears, front the statement of -a Priest,-
that the first fellow that was shot was one 'Jacket,
lead escaped the Minds of justice for assassi•,
Dating a person of the name of Bishop in Cashel
just before. Of the Wound he received from
Fakvcett he.died, as he was afraid to apply for
tnedical assistance, though he lingered for some
time. T,he other villain's name was Buckelly,who
soon expired. ,
On the day that Mr. Fawcett fell lie had been
in Cashel all the forenoon, and was returning
hOute bet Ween the hours of three and four o'clock.
He had not proceeded more than half a mile,
when he was shot, and fell from his horse ; anti
although crowds were seen in. every direction im-
mediately running to the spot, et not.an indivi-
dual would describe or give they, least account of'
,the assassin. T have been informed that the. High
Sheriff of the'County threatened to quarter troops.

,Without.
effect. - •

Will any one presume to say after. this, anti
such murders as arc daily committed, thae there
is not an absolute necessity to carry into effect the
late Bill passed in Parliament for the security of
,this Country. Or will any seditious old %roman
give us a lecture on .he tranquillity of the coun-
try ; if go, none hut The Evening Post will insert
it, or its seditious admirers'read it.

On Sunday' last, the 280 Augnsti as Mr.
O'Reilly, agent to the Nugent estate, was riding
within half a mile of Muilingar, a 'ruffian ad-
vanced close to him, drew a pistol from his breast
and instantly shot him dead, leaving the body on
the road without taking one pennyrwOrth of pro,.
