GRAM) NAVAL AFFRAY.

Dtiatix, Jets 23 —lt is with estreme regret we
state, that on Monday morning last, a most net-
regress and desperate attack was made on three
boats belonging to the Dublin Fishery Company—
an attack which, had it succeedeJ, most have in-
curred the lost of several lives ; but we are happy
to add, that it failed in the principal object, ■nd
partial injury sustained by a few, was the only re-
sell of it. Ahern half-past seven o'clock on the
moraine stated, three smacks belonging to the
above Company sailed from the Pigeon-house
to proceed to fish in the Channel, es easel ; le
their progress they saw a number of wherries,
that ere also usually employed in fiahng, but not
employed by the Company. The three 'marks
perceived, when about five miles to the east of
llowth, that they time chasmd by the other yes.
eels, which were di►ided lulu three squadrons of sin
each; one • herry cartieJ • red nag, end appeared
to bate a person on board who commanded the en-
tire, as orders were issued from it, and promptly
obeyed. One of the ageadroes wised each of the
smacks, which mere abort one mile asunder; wh►n
the crews of the three vessels foetid their pursuers
intent on continoing the chaise, they all agreed
not to rooting"' their coarse, bet return, in doing
which they had to pass their enemies; they, bow-
ever, made the attempt, and came so closely in
contact, that they were nearly grappled, and se.
eerely pelted with large stoned, or rather pieces of
rock, with which the assailants were plentifully sop.
plied. The crews of the smacks consisted of only
four persons each, viz. a Captain, • Mate, a man,
and a boy ; while, on the other hand, the sherries
had from eight to eleven men each ; the latter told
the former, in the most abesioe terms, that they
would cut their throats and throw them overboard,
and shooed the hatchets with which they intended
to cot away their masts and rigging ; notwithstand-
ing the vast disparity of numbers, arid the want of
means to defend themselves, the crews of the yes.
eels behaved with a determination Ugly ch•recler.
kilt of good seamen, and when one of the Captains
was insolently ordered to hoot down his flag, he re.
plied lie would forfeit ►is life first.—(The flags car-
ried by the Company's vessels are green, with the
Union in the corner, and the words " Dublin Fishery
Company," on the ground).—The superior sailing of
the Company's smocks ■lone saved them from the
'destruction, and when all hope of grappling them
was given over, the Admieul issued his orders to a
particular vessel to run down a smack, which be
pointed oat; this mandate Wei promptly attempted
to be carried into effect, but the consequetrees were
injetions to those acting on the offensive alone, as,
in the attempt, they Inst their bowsprit, and were
otherwise very materially injered, when they struck
violetitly against the other vessel, which escaped
without damage, owing to her superior strength.—
The last of the three salmis that reached the lily,
was so nearly overtaken by one of her pursuers, that
they were in the act of throwing a shower of stones
'efficient to destroy every one on board, when the
Captain presailed on them to desist, by promisiug
not to tome oat again for the purpose of fishing;
they then warned hie, that if be did they would in-
tercept and sink him ; the Captains of the three
smacks wets very much hurt by the stones thrown at
them, as also others of the people on board. In-
formations of this outrage base beets sworn at the
Police Office.

PLUNiCET, Aso Ma. HUTCHINSON.

Mr. Grattan made /so speeches doling the Isit
Session of Parliament, and one of those speeches,
no doubt, was another laurel is the wreath. We do
sot stale this tam as. matter of reproach. We sore
it as • compliment to Mr. Gr•ttan'a good sense and
discernment. lie knew it would be a vain effort.
—lie knew be might as sell tell the Atlantic nut to

Sir John Newport (an excellent min) proved by
his conduct during the present Session, that be more
thin laments his fatal support of the Union. Ms.
Hutchinson demonstrates by the impotency of his ad-
mirable spirit on a foreign soil, that it is blowing
wino the winds to plead the cause of Ireland at
Westminster; and Mr. Plunket, by his sound com-
mon-sense attention to the Irish Four Courts, where
he represents Al, clients much better than be can re-
present his country in the Imperial Pa►liament, proses
to the satisfaction of every man, that even his seperie►
intents despair of doing any good to Ireland i• Owl
Eirliament.

We are willing to declare, that we most piously
believe, that that immortal epitomizes of Euclid,

such requisite good sense, feeling, and liberality ;
who has an judiciously and profoundly banished
