A letter from a military fiiend in the County
Limerick, informs us that no picquet service i-
Pyrennees, or throughout the Peninsula war, (
the harassing duty which he and his comi
peirience in that country. The management .
insurgents exceeds all belief. A (ew nights ago
very strong military force scoured the disturbed,
trict, in a circuit of eighteen miles, in search f•
and their trophies were—an old rusty sword, .
bog duck-gun ! "Jack Rock," who is at once
leader and the secretary, writes his threatening!,
and his warnings from so many places far ,
from each other, that he misleads and harasses
military beyond measure, by his apparent übiquity.

a window, the shutter of which had been well
the evening before, and could only have been
down by a person inside the house; yet it '
moved, and laid aside without any none or
whatever. Having done this, they threw •
into the room into which they entered, r
noise in their first proceedings. They
went to the parlour where the candles:
had been burning the evening before, and,
stuck some pieces to the walls, to give light i,
'sages, they proceeded up stairs, taking a

right hand where the maid servants lay,
charged at their peril to make no noise.
UR'S room was on their left hand, of whit
pear to have been aware, without having
