PRII:ITE LETTER FROM BURMA'.

No. 11.
—.8.--

DUBLIN, AUGUST 20.
You'll please to recollect my dear Pat, that I closed
my last letter, in which I seal'd up the grand proces-
sion. As they approacl'd the triumphal arch at the
Rotunda, they were met by Aby Oaby, who never
told his Majesty an atom about any overcharge in
paper, or of a Clerk being such a vagabone as to rob
the country of 5,0041/., by patine' the money into the
pocket of his mas'er ; *crab, bad luck to the wad his
Lordship said about it, or they'd never make him a
Barrowniett ; but there was such fuss and such gale
loping here and there, and TrieneagA yeelagh, that a
body would think the horses were going to start at the
CerreArh.* There was the keys of the City Gates do.
niand'd by a Chap, dress'd in a Scarlet Red, and sent
irons the King. If there happened any good aatur'd
crature near him, tlie'd have given him the wink to
turn thro' Palace-row, and down Granby-row, he
could have got into Sackville-street in two minutes;
but they were not in a hurry to get their dinner,
and accordingly come up to the gate. Oh ! such-
Merther shouts, which prevented the King hear
ing little snore than half of the Recorder's Flummery.
The Ladies kept such bowing, and jigging, and ogle-
in,. Alannans s'on bard, but I believe, if they bit! his
Majesty sing Rrin Benqhf to the tune of the Piper's
.Vssfrott,t hut he'd have bleated directly ; then be
began to how and to scrape in such a way, that the
drum of my care is almost as erect as an old pitcher;
but such an adept has the Whiskey made his Majesty
in the science •f Blarney, that he wore as big a
SAansror in his hat as if it was Patrick's Bay in the
niorniv, ; the sight of which had such an effect upon
three of the old Detz.or,ll from the Aldermen of Shin-
ner's-alley, that they dropt into hysterics, and were
sent into the Lieing-in-llospitalfr, to get a Benediction
from Lector Clarke, or some of his journeymen in
waitin!. When the Procession moved on towards Nel-
son's Pillar, the Major, (Sir reverence to his name,)
was so gurgled, that he rode off cocktail to Liffey-
street, in order to get absolution from Father Louby,
who refused to commune with any man who swap'll
the lash *fur the Conventicle, and desired hint to rash
up to Jemmy Ottien's Widow, or go to the Devil
and shake himself. (lb ! Pat, e' lira, did you see the
tops of the hnuses and the windows. I vow to the
Lord, there were as many petticoats as would cover
the Phoenix Park, and Knocamaroen Hill into the I
har:rain ; ur.d there were the Woodcocksei who
led at the Unian, they Iloat'd back to enjoy the Royal
sunshine, as they didn't do more thins take our money
for the last 20 years., so you may believe me, they look')
Le. gay, and dip'd their bilk in the Sweet Pea wiih as
much impudence as if they never sold their country.—
Oh, bad luck to the Crawkys! and then there were
long (1 urge and Charley, whom you may
remeuiber headed Col. T—t's mob at a County Elec-
tion, and twenty others equally respectable; and there
was hilly S—bth—rp, the glacier, who matl2 a speech
to a fat racer, and thought it was the King he ad-
dressed. You remember Billy? When he met the fat
officer in the crowd, he dropt upon his marrowbones
and thus spoke, " May you live for ever, glorious and
mighty Lord of dis Loyal City, and be de lioky, King
William teas hat a spalpeen to yon, and den yon look
so like a Pat, dat, bad manners to me, but I believe de
first bit of bread you ever clapt into your Royal Mug I
was a Po'aty." The Fat Officer had much to do to i
persuade Billy he was not the King, and actually gave
his name ; but all wouldn't do, Billy should have hit
speech out, and replied, " Areal'. be easy, your Ma-
jesty, dont you tink I'm such an Oreathoet•• as not
to know Royalty; haven't I paraded round de Maine
in College-green, every July dis twenty years back,
and how de devil could I mistake vont. Majesty? Oh,
dat I haven't a drop of Onien fur you.''yt Molly Connor
from Crow-street, standing close, roar'd out, "
Lad leek to via Billy S—bth—rpe, what are you bo-
thering the Gentleman about, don't you see he's no
more like his Majesty, blessings of St. Patrick upon
Lint, *halt you are like me, you ugly squinting son
if a A horse laugh from the crowd silenced
Eil.ty's *Mies, who retired to Pat Mooney's for a
thimble full of sweet pea.
In the interim, the preeession moved on over West-
moreland-bridge and into College-green ; what do you
think, tho' heretofore they wouldn't send an old
woman to gaol for stealing a two-penny loaf, without
a Guard of Soldiers, the devil burn the one of them
was even slimed * Ilse the streets ; there were lots of
officers, but no soldiers. Excuse me dear Pat, for not
telling you that his Majesty has learn'd to speak Irish,
and by the way of instructing him further, they plac'd
nadth Milk a faultAs roth, over the City gate ; so
that you may tell your English friends (or those un-
learn'd in the Dead Languages) that it means " A
Avadred thowsmsd Welcomes to you." Ab, Pitt honey,
were you to see the old black hearted, white liver'd
ragabones, that you well remember, goaded many
poor creatures to destruction, you'd see revenge boil-
ing over in their countenances, because the King
came ever to heal the wounds that have been for tea-

man wounded was carried by. but not before. But l
heard persons say to the officer," D—n him, unhorse
him."—(A laugh.)
Mr. Hansoe--That is most improper. Upon my
word it Is a partial concern.
Mr. Haewee--It is certainly impriver, bait it did-
not proceed from any of the Jn ars.
Witness—lt was the persii!e near me who said
" d—n hies, unhorse him !" There was nobody in
the window with me. There are about tea houses
between my house anal Cumberland-gate. I could
not speak for the house nest tee, for there was a ve-
randa anal balcony there, which intercepted a good
sisal of the view of Tyburn turnpike, I was at such
a distance from Cumberland.gate. that I could not hear
cries pf " Shame, shame!" I heard no cries of
M Shame!" until the man was carried by u
If such cries had been uttered by a great many-
voices at Cumberland-gate, I might have heard them.
I think a man in a halcamv oppo..ite Cumber!and-
ffate should have seen better Class me. Idi t! not se
any persons struck with the swords at all.
Mr. HARMIVI—Other gentlemen have better eyes
than you, for they saw a great many.
That might lie, 1 can only speak of what I saw.
Re-examined by Mr. 118)180N-1 saw stones iu the
air before the firing.
By Mr. Hann re—They fired down Oxford-street.
By a Juror—l did not see Honey killed. Ile
might have been within thirty yards of may house.
My house is near Quebec-street, bat a veranda woual
prevent me seeing all that was done.
By a Juror—l cannaat say how niany brick, were
thrown from the Park wall. 1 should snppnse the
men brought ammunition with them. Tho wall is nut
six feet high.
Mr. Williain King sworn.-1 reside at 45. Great Port-
land-street, Oxford-road. I am a student in physic. Ott
Tuesday, the 1-Ith, I was near Cumberland-gams, in t so
Park first, and afterwards in the street. The first thing
I saw was the procession coming through the Park. it
passed through the gate into Oxford-street, whilst I was
standing at the rails of the Park. I passed through di-
rectly after it, and I saw several of the people take hold
of the horses' heads, and endeavour to turn them down
Oxford-street. They succeeded in turning four of the
leading hoses. A party of the Life Gnarls then route
up. drove the people away, and turned the hearse to-
warch Tyburn-gate. l saw a great number of stows,
thruwn that time before the horses were turned, anal be-
fore the hearse came np to the gate. The stones were
thrown at the soldiers, but they hit every one. I was
hit on the lint by one, and I knocked away two others
with my hand. There were two or three soldiers
Me at the time. Just as the hearse passed thrones. a
part of the iron railiug of the Park was pulled down by
some people, who swung at both sides. The people were
pulling them at both sides, and pulled down part of the
pillar of the gate. The people uses! the brick• that
were underneath, anal flung them at the soldiers in the
street as they were riding up to Tyhurn-gate. I stood
by the corner of Cumberland-place at the time. I heard
several of the people ask each other to get the rails out
to attack the Life Huard*, and when they conlil not suc-
ceed they used the bricks. I heard a man within two of
me say so to another. There had been Do firing at this
time. I saw then, try to pull the railing asnoaler, bet
slid not succeed. There were stones flying about in all
directions at the tine. 1 had seen several of the soldiers
struck repeatedly before this, anal panic/Oasis, one
young officer struck with three different isticke. Prior
to this I had not seen the Life Guards cut at the people
—they only fiourisitted their swords in the air, hut did
not strike any one. If any man had been rut near Cum-
berland-gate I must have seen it, hut I did not see it ;
mean prior to the pulling down the rail.. In a little
time after I heard a person address the crowd. I saw
one man in the act of throwing a stone, I took hold of
his arm, lie said I was a King's man.
Mr. HARMRR.—I object to his giving any conversa-
tions which lie had with persons unknown.
Mr. Ha neon.-1 will not insist upon it.
Witness.-1 was struck by that man and two more
for laying hold of his arm ; he struck me and kicked
me. I saw two or three with slaves in their IMO*, near
Cumberland-gate, but they slid not interfere. They sver.
not funeral staves. I saw the firing commence.
think it might be about ten minutes between the throw-
ing of the stones and the firing.
Couonaa.—Did you 'weeny noise ?—Yes, the stones
were flying as thick as hail. If I was above i could rot
see flown. I saw seven or eight soldier!, who were cut
severely, fire amongst the people ; the others fired per-
pendicularly, and others slanting. In that ten minutes
between the stones and the firing the troops appeared to
me to act with the best temper possible. I dial not see
Francis shot. I cannot say whether it was in the be-
ginning or ens' of the firing.
By the Coitossite.--Tbe people took to their heels
after the firing, anal ran down Cumberland-street The
people thought beforethat they were firing with powder ;
hut when the man was shot they ran up Cumber:and-
street.
By Mr. Ilanatte.--1 was in the Park when the pro-
cession arrived. I know Mr. Bowman ; I have met bins
at Mr. Robinson's. He is a respectable man. 1 did not
see any man rut. I shoots give credit to Mr. Bowman s
asserti•on, if he said he saw persons cut at. 1 kft the
Park immediately after the hearse. 1 could not see
what happened in Oxford-street before the hearse went
through. A man might be cut at outside, and therefore
the people might be thereby irritated.
Mr. liessaox.---I object to your putting cc.nstructiont
on his evidence.
Witness—,-There was not more than a minute befcre
I was odt in Oxford-street. 1 saw no stoppage given
to the procession at the gate. I saw no ohatrnction till
the hearse went through. I went with it. That is a
public thoroughfare, but I did not see the gates
cloyed upon the people. I did not mind the gate. I
only minded the stones hying. A person at Loyd
Bagot's would have seen better than me.
Mr. Itaameaea-How did the man strike von 11--. With
a stick. •
What band slid he use it with ?—Uas •
Ile was about to throw a • stone—How could Ire
throw that:—Oh. he had the stick in his right band..
--(A laugh and hissing.) .•
Mr. Henson—That is most diegracerel. I have

observed this conduct before, and I must protest
against it.

Mr. Maxim and the COSIONSIII—k is most im•

proper.
Witness-4 know there were stone, theown.io 0 ford,.

say whether any cause of irritation had bees given or.
tsot to the soldiers before the stones were thrown. A 4.
