FROM AN IRISH PAPIER.—Two opulent landlords in
the County of Cork have been lately obliged to accept
surrenders of their entire estates, leased at rank-renis
within the last five years. The tenantry of a large
tillage farm, in Kilkenny, (Listerling, containing
near eight hundred actes), had taken new leases two
years ago at " speculating rates." They all disap-
peared lately, in one night—not :In individual is to
be found—not a vestige by which to trace one tenant,
his child, or servant.

nation. Many-of the slaves of both sexes had bc.o
sent in by the Colonial Rangers. On the I‘2:li Jul;,

while many of its inmates were absent, seeking fir
wild yams, and other vegetable stores, to enable
them to make their retreat to another quarter.—
Jacko made a desperate resistance : he killed two
rangers, wounded a third, and was shot through the
head while in the act of levelling a musket at a
fourth. Ile had been a resident in the woods up-
wards of 40 years, and was considered ac the !ital..
chief of all the camps 14 runaways in the colony.
His male adherents fought thoir way and escaped by
bye-paths, through which the rangers did not dare IC
pursue them.

The attack was made in three columns, under Colo-

Fischer of De Watteville's. The two former were
directed to scale the Fort, and the latter to get pos-
session of a small hill, named Snake-Hill, which the
Americans had fortified, and being situated only
about eight hundred yards from Fort Erie, was of
consequence to us. . This latter column failed in their
object; but the two columns destined for the Fort,
carried the same in a most gallant manner, and ob.
liged the enemy to retire into two Stone Block-houses
inside the Fort, when their own guns were turned
against them. At this time a most unfortunate ex.
plosion took place, which blew up the magazine and
battery, and with them a number of our brave sol-
diers ; and the consternation caused by this was so
great, that we were obliged to abandon our conquest
and retreat to our original position, with great loss
of both Officers and men.
