LONDON,

The aspect of affairs in Ireland becomes more
and more gloomy. Some indications .of
bance have been manifested in the county of
Dublin, and the adjacent districts, though these

have not yet assumed a serious character. Let-
ters from Limerick confirm what we stated yes:-
terday, as to the prevalent apprehension of a ge7
neral insurrection of the peasantry. It is with

leartfeit grief that we observe that the outrages

are rather augmenting, and that they are spread-
ing in the county of Cork, which has heretofore
been remarkable for the good order and peace-
able disposition of its Reasantry.

Our Readers are aware that Government have
extended the provisions of the Peace Preserva-
tion Act to the Barony in which Fermoy
ituated. This measure, however, appears to
be insufficient, in the judgment of the Magis-

rates of that district, for the restoration and

maintenance of tranquillity ; and accordingly,
at a Meeting of the Nobility, Magistrates, and
Gentry, of the Baronies of Fermoy and .Con-
dons and Clongibbons, and the country adjacent
held at Fermoy, on Saturday last (the-High
Sheriff of the County of Corkin the Chair),
it was unanimously, resolved, that a Petition

be presented to Government, requesting, as
the only efficient means of preserving dig
peace of the County, that the provisions of the
Insurrection Act, lately repealed, be immediaterg
acted upon, the Peace Preservation Act havint:
been found, in the opi►►ion of the Meeting, i►i
every instance, except when assisted by the In-
surrection Act, to be insuff►cient. Should Go-
vernment comply with the requisition, (and con-
sidering the character and situations of the parties
with whom the application originates, it is highly
probable that the recommendation will be acted
on,) the application of the Act to the County of
Cork will be equivalent to declaring that part of
Ireland in a state of open rebellion.

The Fertnoy Meeting also resolved unact'
mously, that it is expedient that the Magistrates
should, individually, in their respective districts,
call upon all farmers, and such other persons as
are Well disposed, and administerihe Oath. of
Allegiance to such of them as are willing to taiile
it ;—that Special Constables be sworn in in,eacil
district ;—that a subscription be entered intOy
for the purpose of obtaining private infOrination.;
—and that the high Sheriff, The Lord .rty.hl)or,
the Hon. Richard Hare Thomas Wiiik'er'4, VIA."
