IRISII DTSURGENTS.

The Dublin Mail of this mornin7 has brought us
fome very important particulars tefpeding the trial
of the four infargents who were con% ided on the loth
init. They will be read with muds interell by all
who with to know the real hate of fals, refpeling
the commencement of the late d;fgraceful infurrec•
Lion, But how greatly mull thi. Public be furprized
when informed, that the ignorance, want of informa-
tion, and obtlinate fool-hardinefs, which have been
molt induftrioully imputed to the frifh Government,
and on the pretended authority of Mr. CLARKE, whofe
character for loyalty and probity gave fome colour
to the calumny while it remained uncontradided, has
been completely refuted by the evidence of that very
Gentleman himfelf on the trial of thefe men ! We
(hall not dwell upon the circurntlance, but leave it to
our Readers to make their own refisdions on the fub•
joined letter :

DUBLIN, SEPT. 12.

On Saturday la(t I merely mentioned the con-
conviction of the four men tried that day ; the evi-
dence was fhort, but brought clearly to the charge,
for they were taken in New-ftreet, by a watch patrole,
and when arrefted had pikes in their hands. To this
fad two watchmen bore the ftrongeft teflimony.—ln
the courfe of the evidence tome matter came out, not
unimportant, and with which you. and the other
London Prints, willing to be jolt and impartial,
ought to be acquainted. You mull recoiled, that
very early after the infurredion here, I noticed to
you the mifreprefentations on the fubjed, which tome
of the London Papers, in the pay of difappointed
Cation, dire&ed againft the adminiflration of our
good and juftly popular Viceroy. Indeed, the Brag!)
public fhould have been fufficiently inftruded of
thofe calumnies by the mediums through which they
flawed. In one publication it was particularly at-
(cried, that when Mr. CLARKE, of Palmer's-town, an
eminent manufacturer, and a Magiftrate for the
county, informed Mr. Maasosa, Secretary for the
Civil Department here, of an intended riling, his in-
formation was defpifed, and himfelf treated with
contumely and difrefped. Now hear what Mr.
CLARE', as refpeaable, honourable, and independent
a character as any in the county of Dublin, lays
himfelf—ii Having been called on by two of the pri-
foners, Dowliy and Tyrrel, to bear teftimony to their
characters, it came out is his examinations, that hav-
ing been led to fufped, by the obfervations which his
great intercourfe with the working people had ena-
bled him to make, that fomething dangerous was in
agitation among them, he waited on Mr. ?datums
the Thurfday morning previous to the infurredion ;
his information was received with the utmoft atten-
tion and politenefs, and he was requefted to return
to his manufactory immediately, continue his ob-
fervation, and acquaint Mr. M. with the refult." The
next morning he waited again on the Secretary, telling
him that he had had reafon to change his mind, and
to think that he bad been precipitate in the apprehen-
fions which be had expreffed. Mr. MARIDIN, how-
ever, cautioned Mr. CLARKE againft yielding too
much to a feeling of fecurity, and not to relax in his
vigilant obfervation : from this, it was apparent that
Mr. M. had not been without other information, or
without a difpofition to attend to it. Mr. CLARK'
repaired again to his poll, and the circuinflance of
an unufnal fir and commotion among his men, hay-
ing revived his apprehenflons, he loft no time in fee-
ing Mr. MARSDEN on the morning of Saturday the
23d July, and feveral times in the ccurfe of the day,
and found him adopting meafures, as far as depended
on him, to meet any attempt of infurredion ; and,
among others, he confulted Mr. C where to
place military parties in his viciti.tge, and they agreed
on doubling the guards at Chapelizod, and appoint-
ing a ftrong party to patrole between that and Pal-
mer's-town; thus effectually defending the molt im-
portant depots of ammunition, &c. and which, it
appears by the evidence on former trials, the rebels
had intended to attack in the firft inflance.

Now I leave to you and ever y candid, honeß man,
who reads your Paper, to judge what degree of credit
ought to be paid to thole accounts which have ap-
peared in fome of the London Prints. To fabricated
anonymous letters, as horn Dublin, couched in lan-
guage which no Gentleman could acknowledge, is
oppofed the tellimony on oath, and in the face of his
country, of Mr. C , than whom, I repeat, there
is not an honeßer or more refreelable Gentleman in
the city or county of Dublin. I would not, perhaps,
have dwelt fo much on this, but to prove to you,
that you have a right to believe me, alien I freak of
faels within my own knowledge, and palling under
my own eyes.

jobs Hay, alias Ilaya, was convifled to day, with.
out the Jury retiring from the box : the principal
evidence againll him was the fame as on the trial of
Felix Rourke, namely, Mabaffy and Ryan ; the one
proved that the prifoner had piked the dragoon at
whom Routh fired the blunderbufs, and the other,
that the fanguinary wretch alfo piked the dragoon's
horfe after he had fallen : it appeared alio, that the
prifooer had fled the next mori.:ng after the infur-
ration to Edenderry, a confideraLle dillance from
this city, and where he was taken. The convinion
was, confequently, as clear as poffible, anJ required
no hefitation.

The Duchefs of YORK'S own regiment of Light
Dragoons were on Wedoefday reviewed on the plaid
near Folkeflone by General CARTY/R10:314T. They
took the field at fix o'clock, and went through their
different mantzuvres in excellent flyle. General
CARTWRIGHT proceeded to Dover after the review. '
On Saturday forenoon, his Highnefs Prince Wit,
mast of GLOUCSITIa took a fail acrofs the water from
Liverpool to Chefhire, and afterwards returned ter
Knowfly to dine with the Earl of Deasy. On the
Sunday morning his Highnefs went to church ; af-
ter fervice the Prince, accompanied by his fuite; the
Mayor, and Col. BnLrow, honoured the Lyceum
with a rifit a he was highly pleafed with the magni.
ficence of the aruelure and propriety of the internal
condue. He very politely accepted the offer of being
an honorary Member of the Library.
Tuefday his Highnefs accepted the invitation of
Capt. Cotikurrr, to dine on board la Paiscassta
floop of war, of 26 guns, Rationed oppofite Liver-
pool, and about five o'clock proceeded to the booth
pier, where he embarked in a twelve oared barge,
accompanied by his two Aids de Camp, Gen. Bea-
son, Cel. BOLTON, and many other officers of dif-
tinelion. At the moment of embarkation a royal fa-
-1 lute of 21 guns, was fired from la PRONG ass e, and on
his•going on board, the royal flandard was hoilted at
the main, the union at the fore, and a broad enfigix
at the mixers top mall head. A band of mufic Rruck
up and the whole of the 'hip yards were manned.—
The Shores on each fide the River were lined with
fpeltators, and on this fide efpecially an immeoft
concourfe, probably not lefs than twenty thoufand
perfons, were afl'embled to witnefs this novel and
pleafing fight. All the boats which ufually ply up-
on the river were put into a Rate of requifition to
do homage to the Pews on this occafion, and the
river was alma covered with them. The evening
was ferene and calm, the water confequently unruf-
fled by a wave, and the whole exhibited a fpethela
in a high degree interefling. At fun fet, on the firing
of the evening gun, the flags at the fore and mizen-
mails were hauled down, but the Royal flandard
continued flying till his Highnefs returned on flame.
FIRE.—On Monday night ha, between nine and
ten o'clock, a fire broke out at the Livery Stables of
Mr. GILDING in Parr-ftreet, behind Duke-Rreet, Li.
verpool, which, from the nature of the premifer,
burnt with tremendous fury. The difcovery of this
terrible calamity was not made until the fire had
reached fuch a height, as to render it impoflible to
get out the horfes, and it is with extreme concern,
we add, that fix of there ufeful animals fell victims
to its devouring rage. In this concern, all our read-
ers, we are perfuaded, will participate when we add,
that four of them belonged to Gentlemen of the Cr
!fairy, and were employed in that honourable and
important fervicc. The alarm bell sea, rung a little
befere ten o'cock, and every poffible of flance was
inflantly given. Doachments from the different
military corps affembled, among the foreasoft of
whom was Lis Royal Higlinea the Prince of GLOW'
Milt and Stuff. He continued upon the fpot till
twelve o'clock, aiding by his counfel, and animating
by his pretence and example. Happily for the neigh-
bourhood the flames extended no further, though
confiderable Almage was done by the removal the
furniture f. .m the neighbouring houfes.-.4snertca
