We copy (Tem.-the Cotroopoodeot of Saturday. the
following afaicting statement of further outtages in
the comity of Limerick :
" We have received letters this day from Newcastle,
in the coenty of Limerick, giving an account of one
of the most alarming outrages that has yet occurred in
any part of the disturbed districts. On the 2Stii of
Febrcary, at the hour of two o'clock in the afternoon,
an armed party of the peasantry, consisting of upwards
of two hundred persons, attacked the house of Thos.
Porto:we Esq. if Bedlydaniel, near Newcastle. Their
first object appears to have been the destruction of the ,
gentleman and his family, but as they were fortunately
absent, the wretches directed their vengeance against
his property. The Insurgents accordingly set fire to
the holm, which was entirely consumed. All the fur-
niture of the house, and the farming implements,
:were burned.
' •" Qn the might of the 27th, thirty-one cows were
Anthis fro* Mr. Cart, of the county of Limerick ; and
.tre mike night, a large quantity of bacon. about
cwt. •mu forcibly taken away. by a party of
Wheys, frees the house of Mr. Haves. it
apposed in these letters,
that the Insurgents in-
th
pa to encamp on the mountains, and that the cat-
tle aid provisions which' they have taken away, are
designed for their subsisteoce. It is stated in one of
the letters, that the cattle bad been killed and salted."
This airreisg. thirteen military parties, (horse
end foot.) accompanied by Captain Drought and the
whole of his police, left this city at an early hour,
to make a simultaneous search for arms throughout
the south liberties. They had not returned when
this Paper was put to press.
Two men have been brought in from the south li-
berties this morning. for having fire-arms, which they
denied ; they ere to be tried under the Insurrection
Act.

The Magistrates of the County of Limerick, to the
number of nineteen, after agreeing to certain resoln.
Goss for an application to the Lord Lieutenant to 'ln-
finite the losurreetion Act, thought proper to sign it
io a form which the sailors call a Rowed Robin.
Were these worthy Gentlemen actually afraid of ap-
pearing forward in the application, or did they cooly
elect the fear?
. The Gazette of last night contains an Order in
feast:s/Id at Brighten on the 29th of Febrnary,

lillitia In the present year.
o Tim SINKING Fuan.—" The present scheme of 1
isg off the National Debt, says DIV/D Hume, ap-
ty,"
soma to he an ill con d, if not a fallacious
. The berth's of the National Debt consists not
its being so many millions, or in so many hundred
jaw; bet in the rurality of fazes collected every
ifs pay the interest. If this quantity condone the
tbe lIIMTIIIIIIII admit Nadal's! Deht is the awns,
lbw *vital sore er less. The only benefit which
Iles rant ene MI RIF the reduction of the debt must
be incense 160141/11/11611 glazes for paying the iii•
teeest. The debt, Miefore, is not, as a burthen, re-
damid *es fbrfilhig li the public by all the million
that have been POI i Mid it would requite more ON-
.
sey setel• parolees op the espied. than when the
scheme bops." If, se this writer reuseeked, the bar.
thee of the Natioaal Debt Is felt in the weight of the
tater, and of this se sell.inforined man can doubt, it
is aline way to ease the harden by imposing more
lazes, under the pretence of relieving the nation. The
Sinking Fund, as it has been employed by Ministen,is
a fraud upon the people. It wantonly takes from their
pockets large semi, without really reducing the Debt ;
sad, is its tendency, it increases that debt, by giving
facility to extravagant loans. Its only advantage
must be found is the welfare of stock-jobbers and loan
contractors and is extending ministerial extravagance,
am advantage which one who truly loves his country
woad be glad to destroy. The People, in their Peti-
, Geis is Parliament, should insist on the annihilation
of this fraudulent farce.
