lI.ISTINGS. AUGUST 30.

In travelling along the Suffer Coati, I have been
highly gratified to fee the patriotic fpirit which per.
vades all ranks of people, and the ardour with which
they arm againfl the French. It is impoffible perhaps
for more unanimity to be (hewn on fuch an occafion,
than I have obferved in this town. The Fiffiermen

Rance of a privateer, fuppofed to be French, ap.
proaching, about a fortnight ago, near to this town,
and efcaping untouched, although five 24 pounders
were fired at her from the battery, point out the ne•
ceffity of fuch gun boats, which would have been
manned and at fea in a few minutes ; as there are
always plenty of hands ready on the beach, and
defirous of volunteering their fervices ; and on fuch
an occafion would no doubt have given a good
account of her.

This morning the Volunteers of this town, for the
land fervice, muttered on the Cattle Hill for the fira
time, in number about 200, flout and able bodied
men, divided into two companies, under the command
of Captains MILWARD and WHISTLER. Too much
praife cannot be given to thofe Gentlemen, and alto

PRIVATE LETTER.

The neweß eircumllance I have to inform you
of is the arreft, it Dundalk, in the county Louth,
of t 3 perfons, charged with having been concerned
in the recent irifurreftion : they were apprehended
through the alivity of Joint Noe, Efq. a Gen-
tleman whore intelligence of lls his loyalty, and en-
ables him to difcriminate when he can belt ferve his
Sovereign and his Country. His brother Samoa':
PACs, F.fq. alto took in that town, a rebel leader, of
the name of Hunter, and found in hi% poffellion a rebel
uniform, nearly completed, made of fine green cloth,
long coat and pantaloons. A woman was alto
brought up from Dundalk, charged with intending
to potion the foldiers of the 67th Regiment quartered
there. Thus it is that the inilruments of the provi-
fionary Government obferve the promifes they make;
and the profeffions of honourable warfare and mode-

ration !!! Thole prifrners were examined to-day
before the Privy Council. A prifoner, of the name
of Farrell, was alto examined. Since Wednefday
the direCtions to the yeomanry, litc. have come di-
reelly from the Lord Lieutenant, and from him only.
The attention, the unwearied attention which Mr.
Wic KliA 14 pays to bufinefs, at this important cries,
is alfonifhing ; and if mutual powers, applied with
indefatigable aCGduity, can develope the defigns of
treafon, we have every confidence and hope to affume
from the adminiftration of Lord Ha RDWICE Z.

I fend you the following, as the official return of the
rebel aorta found on the night of the 23d in one de-
pot : it will give you a better idea of the extent of the
confpiracy than probably you have yet received ; this
I afrure you, that had our Government been equally
prepared, we would have cru(hed the int-once:ion the
night it broke out. La( night Mr. Robert Emner,
brother to the Dirtflor Emmet, was apprehended at
Harold's-crofs by Major SIR! ; he was harboured
there by a Mr. \Vhi:e, whofe whole family has been
taken into cuhody. Emmet paired under the name
of Hughes; he endeavoured to make his efcape by
leaping out of a window. Major Slut leaped after
him, purfued him acrofs a garden, and caught him
by the leg as he attempted to fcale the garden wall.
I believe the evidence again(! Emma is complete ; I
underhand fcveral arras will immediately take place
of fome confequence.
