THE SPANISH EXPEDITION

During the whole of Saturday night and yesterday, our
city, was thrown into the greatest disorder, occasioned. by
the tumultuous and insubordinate conduct of those troops
raised for Donna Isabella's service. Between eight and
nine: o'clock on Saturday eveningi-ttre Mayor,'Sheriff, anti
a party of the city constabulary surrounded the Waterloo
Glass Manufactot v, in which they had been lodged, in
consequence of the riotous manner in which they were
conducting themselves inside, and they had no sooner ar-
rived on the ground than they commenced smashing the
windows, and never ceased until not a single whole pane
of glass could be distinguished in the entire building,
which is exceedingly spatious and roomy. During the
entire night, numbers of theta were to be seen in a beastly
state of intoxication in different parts of our streets,
shouting, and making the most hideous noises. Oa yes-
terday evening, three companies 'of them were marched
to the Earl of Fingal steamer, then lying at Patrick's-
quay,. for embarkation, and it was with considerable
ditti-
culty that they were conveyed on board. We understand
that'Six of them leapt overboard into the river, and made
their escape—some of them were to be seen fighting and
boxing each other-,--some heaving coal into the river and
at the spectators on the quay, and others in a state of
nudity, marching about the deck of the vessel. At length,
after sonic delay, the steamer gut off, and was proceeding
• at a rapid rate down the river, when she grounded near
the end of the new wall, opposite Penrose's-quay. The
troops had then to be disembarked, and put on board one
of the river steamers, the Waterloo, which reached Cove,.
last night, and there waits the arrival of the Earl of:Fingal
next tide, to convey them out td Spain. We this day
visited the Waterloo Glass Manufactory, where the bat-
talion raised by Captain Galway lies, and although it is
stated that this is the most pliable of any yet raised in
Cork, still we never witnessed any troop, destined so
shortly to enter upon the arduous duties connected with,
immediate warlike service, in such .an awful state of. in,
subtfrdination and want of all necessary disciplipe. Thet
; are 101 extremely disaffected, and coniOain' fondly of a
non gulfiltnentsof the promiAe made, when they were. en-
' of a bOuniy of £2. This Is now pturjijsed them,
wlie)ii they shall • have embarked, taut with this promise,
they-are dissatisfied, and seem to consider it as a fraud
• on the part of the Queen's ambassadors here, and in con-
sequience they on Saturday sold their clothing on the
Coatquay, and surcharged themselves with ardent spirits
. with thearext proceeds of the same. In the,secretarv'S
office, this day, they were boxing one another; while a
bugler, in a state of intoxication, wag bellowing final some
discordant notes upon his bugle. On the whole, they are
the most awkward, undisciplined, and disaffected squad
we ever beheld ; and we wish the Queen many thousand..
more of those Irish patriots, to grace the triumphs of her.
