o'clock, an armed boat ran alongside his Majesty's transport the
Caroline (letter A), commanded by Captain Blown, with the
intent of takinrpossession (as they said) of the vessel. The Cap-
tain placed the British ensign across the gangway, telling them
if they entered the vessel it mast be over the British colours,
upon which these nocturnal visitors retired. His Majesty's Con-
sul, Mr. Jacques, has very promptly instituted an inquiry into
the cause of this proceeding, and by whose order it took place.

The Marquis of QUEVISBERRY •is arrived at Mon-
tague House, Whitehall, from his seat in Scotland.-
It is conceived in the west of Scotland, that no
general measures of violence are likely to be at-
temptel; but that an univeral system of begging is
likely to be resorted to in those places where no work
has been provided for the unemployed.

The Irish Papers, received this morning, represent
the spirit of disturbance, which has lately broken
•ut in some of the northern counties of Ireland, as
rather on the increase. It would appear from, the
following extract from the Toone Gazette, that the
combination among the lower orders has assumed
somewhat of the same complexion as that among our
own Radicals. Tice initiated become solemnly bound
to abstain from the consumption of tobacco, &c. and
41 other articles subject to a duty : •
We are sorry. to learn, that those misguided and deluded
wretches, under the denomination of Ribbon-men, are making
.their appearance in our Cosusty, and that.to an extent which we
were beferrnot aware of. If we are to give credit to rumours,
these villains amulet to hare the hardihood of venturing within
four and six miles of this town, sweating in all classes as they
proceed, but doing •no other injury. We understand that they
mean to prevent, by these oaths, the use of tobacco, snuff, and
spirits, and all other articles subject to duty. The only positive
account we have of their midnight visits is, that Friday night
last, nearly two thousand of them assembled at Moylough, and
were proceeding to their unlawful swearing, when their plans
were frustrated by the timely interference of that zealous and
spirited Magistrate, the Rev. John 0' Rorke, wfio, at the risk of
his life, headed a party of twelve soldiers only, who were lately
qUartered there, and placed themselves in a position to give them,
on their approach, a warm reception. The unfortunate fellows,
not thinking of what was in store for them, advanced, shouting
and ha:using—at which time the military got orders to Are over
their heads, merely to deter them, and which proved successful,
as in a very few minutes not one of them was to be seen. We
heir ese ImeWitis-killed, and some more wounded, u there
was 10.4 ion fora considerable distance, in the direction they
were Warted: On the return of the party they discovered one of
theta concealed in some bushes, who they secureb, and next day
=relied into tills town, under a warrant from the above-nanted
Magistrate, on his way to the County Jail. Galway. This car.
immures*, we trust, will act as a salutary kiteie to their other
deluded brethren in this quarter."
