DUBLIN,ijuLY 26.

To the ptoteeling. mercy of that Providence,
Which more than once has bafiled the designs of the
perjured and savage. Rebels of this Country, do we
owe that the City of Dublin is not at this moment
trampled beneath the filthy and disgusting tyranny
of wretches, whose resemblance to mankind is their
only pretension to humanity.
On Saturday morning. various and concurrent
rumours from several parts both of the City and
Country, declared the inunediate presence of danger
to Dublin. Many sources of information were
poured in upon our Government, and disclosed a
situation of peril of 'which no man who was not
intimately acqnainted with the secret progress of
Rebell.ion could have formed the slightest concep.
riot!. Hourly increasing as these ris.nours and in.
formations were, their number commanded credit
'and excited alarm.- Such of the Yeomanry Corps.
as had been lately in military pradice, received.no.
tice to.be in readiness, and such measures as were
deemed most likely to meet 'a sudden effort were
adopted.
As evening advanced, the stir and tumult of the
lower orders visibly increased. In those parts
,of
the Town most distant from military 'ists, men
were observed to assemble in great numbers, armed
with pikes ; these arms were furnished by laden
carts which passed along the streets, and scattered,
as if by accident, their cargoes of pikes. In this
manner Thomas-street and a great part of the Li.
berty were almost instantaneously filled with armed
Rebels. The neighbouring Yeomen, alarmed at
these appearances, tan to arms, and attempted to
seek their different parades z melancholy is our
duty, when -we find, ourselves compelled to relate
that some of these gallant and patriotic gentlemen
(belonging to the Corps of Liberty Rangers) .
were murdered as they passed along, by the infa.
mous assaSsinS.Who lined the streets.. Col. BitowN
of the atm Regiment, riding to his, guard-house in
Cotk.street, was in this manner buitally massacred
by'a band of ruffians who met hiM in Biidgefoot-
street.; Mr. CLA!IKE, of Pahnerstown, an eminent
Manubdurer, was waylaid on the, quays by his
own workmen, and so dreadfully wounded by a
blunderbuss,' that his life was not out of danger
last 'night ; 'and 'Lord 'KILWARDIL NJ the Chief Jus.
rice of the King's Bench, returning with his Ne-
phew and Daughter from Newland: into Dublin,
was,
,with his Nephew, butchered in the open day
in james'a•-street by a party of villains lie.ided by
well-dressed barbarians, who seemed 'but too well
acquainted with the person of this unfortunate No-
Littman. In the mean tittle, a young Officer of the
9th Infantry, who, upon the first alarm, had with
a party of the Barrack Division' proceeded to scour
Bridgefoot.street, Observed in a narrow lane in
that neighbourhood a car and hackney-coach stand.

ammunition, which he instantly sent under an
escort to the Barrack ; be then proceeded to ex.
amine tte coach, from which unluckily alperson
escaped ; but on entering the (loose, Lieutenant
COLTMAN (for Tuck is the name of the gentleman
to whom this City owes so much) discovered in the
upper story a false partition, which being opened,
disclosed a cle.p47t of arms, ammunition and cloth.

to the People of freland, which, in wickedness, nth..
sunlit'', and profligate barbarity, exceeds even
that of the Sheares' in 1798.
These arms, ammunition, &c. were carried to the
stores in the barrack, where they now remain.

It was now twelve o'clock; the drums had beaten
to arms, and the streets were filled wish armed and
anxious yeomen: a general pursuit took pllce, anti
a multitude of prisonerS with pikes in their hands
were brought in from every quarter 'awl lodged in
the difFerent guard-houses, u►►til for wa►►t of room
it was -found necessary to send some of them on

Lord Kt LWARDEN had been brought with merely
the remnant of life into 'a guard-house in Vicar.
street. He heard a loyal yeoman, in the bitterness
of his indignation speak of the necessity of m k.
ing a speedy example of his murderers : " No,"
said the amiable and unfortunate Nobleman, '' let
them not be condemned or punished but by the laws
of their.country." He then asked had his daughter
escaped.—and hearing that she had, he breathed his
last contented.

Mr. PARKER, Serjeant of the Liberty Rangers
Light Company, who had attempted to ,ave Lord

After all eese dreadful' transatlions, it may be

and alarm : the Castle gates wire all d---,adlitional

The Yeomanry cell lotted to patrnle all night.
The in r ping brought accounts of partial insurrec.

Still the Yeomanry continued to increase ; seq.,

gallant and loyal Citiv.ns who required them, and
Sunday night and last night the Various guards Were
mounted by this admirable army, as to the year
1798.,
Letters from Belfast speak of an attack on that
town on Saturday night,' which was repelled by the
Yeomanry with extraordinary loss to the rebels.

As barbarous and inhuman an a& was committed
by the' Insurgents near M

heard of with concern : a party of them searched f
a gate-keeper (to His Grace the Duke of Le art.

murdered in revenge his' infant child, as it was

SELWYN W. GODIMEY,

Mr. GARiOW stated, that this was an Aaion by
Mr. Selwyn, who was.one.of His Majesty's Coun-
sel in the Law, against the Defendant, as'Church.
warden of Woodford, for ousting him of his Pew
in that Parish Church. Against Mr. Clcdfrey,
the Defendant, he, made no persortal complaint,
for it happened that that Gentlemtm, as church.
Warden', was obliged to a6l under the ,direelion of
the Vestry, and they having met in conclave, had
taken it into their wise heads that Mr. Selwyn .
had no right to his Pew. He should, however,
slow that he had a clear right, ;as-an appendage to
the ancient house which he inhabited. He should
prove, that the Pew had, beyond the time of me_
miry, been .attached. thitt House, though the
Vestry now wished to dispossess the old mansions
of their right, toAnalie room for the new race of
gentry
,from London, whu had of late years built
their villa: in that parish. He ought, however, to
state, that Mr. Selwyn, was no further interested
than as the tenant of the mansion which he occupied.
The proprietor of it was a Mr. Gould, and he was
unfortunately insane, and- therefore 'Mr. Selwyn,.
as a Man Of honour, was the more, aexioui that
none of the rights of his landlord should he lust
ie his hands, while he was in sin heleleis
condition. With resped to' the right old Pew in a
church, it might be obtained by twit minks, either
by a "(teary or a iirerei.itrioe, wt ich presumed one,
and he should be able to in.,ke out his title on the
latter ground. I k should chew, that SO heig back

t.tin J:%ckson ; he Was a very good sort of a m-0),
but teitertulately was lint 1063 of going to church:,
his Lady, however, went, tied she sal. in the same
Pew. When blie died the Vestry thneght they eetild
coax the Captain t 2 give up Ike Pew ; they accord-
ingly represented to the Captain, that as he did not
care for the Churalf, might as well let them
pr4e of his Pew ; but,,however imwidindhe -was to
occupy it himself, he would lett give 'up his right,
alt snore 1‘ by Gee-7.e, that tatlß.r than give tip
the 'Pew he would even go to church himself." Mr.,*
Selwyn sn, cerded tri the'''house on the 'death of
k; nn ; and the Vestry, thinking .tbet
Lawyer would be careless about th 6 church, made
',mother attempt to get it from hirti ; they were,
hio'we'ver, mistaken, and Mr. Selwyn as rigidly
maietaieed hii right as his predecessors. He should
produce the evidence he had 'stated, which. he con,
coded would entitle hitn'to the Vettlid Of the Jury.
Several very ancient Withesses were accordingly
called, who all agreed that the families stated by.
Mr. GARRow used,'the Pew in question, and that
they considered' it as belonging' to the house,--:-
The widow. of Dr. Cave csia, durieg their tic.
cupittion of the !Muse,' she considered it so touch
su,appendag, that she should have been as much
surprised at seeing a stranger there, as if she had
found one in her drawing-room without invitation.
Mr, Serjc Int Stettieisttit for
.the Defendant, ad.
duced in evidence some letters of Mr. SelSeyn, ini
whieh he grounded the right on 'a
, granted in
16.28, and no' prescriptiOn. He' ,also piosinced the
copy of the faculty, whirls 'appeared to be merely
personal to the grantee, and therefore he contended,
' that a presctiptfem founded on that right could not
be extended 'beyntel the right itself. Upon exa.
mining the-Lenity, it ruined out that it related
to another Pew, aid therefore the Learned Judge
held',, that the Plaintiff had Made out a good title by
.
prescript ion.

Vertlid for Plaintiff—Datuages is. being merely
to ascertain theb
