STATE OF, IRELAND.

(FROM THE DUBLIN EVENING POST OF TIIURSPAT
Wv have to rep at neart the same tale and almost in
the same words ; but though we shall not allow any fact
to escape, which we tisink ought to be recorded, we can-
not load our columns with all the particulars of the bar-
barities perpetrated in the South, much less shall we in-
dulge in the frightful colouring in which some of ,onr
contemporaries seem to glory. Cork and Limerick are
bad enough, Heaven knows! nor does it require any
&darn ition to rouse the attention of the public to their
c?.tdition.
We have already given two Proclamations from Ge-
neral Rock to the-People of the Comity of Cork. We
have now two more bef.)re as, from which we shall make
a few extracts. One fellow, after talking of the Preci-
pice of destruction, cries—
" lleboli my sword is unsheathed to mow down of-
fenders; my fire is kindled every night to consume their
property, my Resolution is fixed, again, let no person
consider that the rigours of English Laws will sutler to ,
protect an offender of my Regulations. No, for a gal-
lows filled a ith Radicals, or a ship laden with White
Boys cannot intimidate the heart of a true United Irish-
man, inflamed by the Spirit of Liberty.—Tis true we
have been deprived of some of our Associates by hang-
ing and transportation, but this has only increased our
strength.
Article Ist.—That no person or persons shall pro-
pose for or take into his possession, directly or indirect-
ly, any house, farm, or lot of lands, willed from a tenant
by his Landlord, until the expiration of '2 Foxe slier
the 4jection.
" 'ld. That no person shall pay tithe money to the Mi-
nister or any person acting under him.
"3d. That no woolfish Proctor shall sue for tithe money.
" 4th. That no Person shall serves process or proces-
ses for tithe money.
" Any Person or Persons transgressing any of these,
will salter shooting, burning-, &c. &c,

Another is more laconic -
" Let. every men that hears me take entice, that I will
not allow.nn Person work. or have any thing to do with
any P.m thatithe•Tectent is tented oat of it—Tids- will

The terror that these estd similar hotiees-bave inspired
is beyond all &set ii:: ion. Mr. Kntefi a. oentlentan, to
one of whose Tenants the last notice was direotedi ha.
even made an appeal to thejustice of Capt. Rock, through.
the ne‘isp tprre. After stating the circumstances under
which ht tools the farm, and his repeated losses, having
forgiven arrears, &c. he concludes thus-e
" The former opulent Tenant 1 distrained, hut gave
up his-stock, coisisaing of 19 cows end heifers, sin horses,
butte. tackle, au 1 eves), farming iioplement, furniture,
