IRISH OUTRAGES.

ATTACK ON TOR VILLAGF. OF GLANASHEEN.
We copy thefollowing narrative from the Cork Ad-
Fertiserof Friday. It bears the appearance olbeing
highly coloured :
oThe following is a detail clone of the most Oat
attacks that the history of the present disturbances
afferds:-....0n Tuesday night last, a most desperate
attack was made about nine o'clock by an immense
Fa" of insurgents, on the Palatinate village of Gl.l-
„,sheen, on the Castle-Oliver estate, where four police-
/on were stationed. Several hon-es were laid in
aihes, and it Wa,. the intention of the rebels to Lave
warned the whole village, and to have murdeted
the inhabitants.
The insurgents were distinctly heard to say, that
ot one should be allowed to escape. Two of the police,
rith two of the Palatines, were„on guard, who heard
the rebels approaching, and instantly challenged
ti:ent, on ehich the rebels filed a s olley, fortunately
without effect. The police and palatines returned
thefine, and kept it up for some time. Another
tarty of the rebels set fire to several bf
which, with the furniture, &c. were totally
co !sawed. The small party of palatines, with the
four policemen stationed there, must soon hateav been
overpowered, but, providentially, that mo c
and most zealous Odicer, lieutenant Lightbodv, ot
the 71st
the
on rat! ole, about two miles
distant, who saw tne flames and heard the shots,
and arrived in sufficient time to tire a volley on the
in the pursuit, they found
rebeh, ‘...h0 fled ; and,
ow man dead, aed took two of them prisoners.—
sir. Lighthody :till continued to pursue them to-
wards the County of Cork, in the direction of Done.:
mile; but the di:.ficulty ot the mountain pass and the
ea:kotss of the tight, prevented any more prisuners
being taken.. A ball passed rimier the arm of one of
die police without doing much injury, and no further
tern WAS sustained by the police or the army. No
doubt many of the rebels are woun4ed, for the party
cithe 71st Regiment nearly expended all their am-
munition. There has not been so premeditated an
attack since the Chutchtown business.
"The rebels called on the police several times to sur-
render their arms, and that ne injury should be done
to them. However, they were soon made sensible
teat the police and palatines were determined I,)
port that character of loyalty to their Kinn. that they
had evinced when tried in the year 1796'. A pala-
tine schoolmaster, whose house was on fire, attempted
to get through the roof on hearing the rebels declare
that he was a Protestant devil, and that not one
should be spared. Ile had a miraculous escape, be-
ing fired at repeatedly."
