(ram twit CORE CHRONICLE OE 111101.0T4
We presented in aft lad a statement of such partien-
lan as melted se relative to the disturbed state of this
misty, is the seislaserbeed of Macroom, and from
Senn to Baldry. I. asitetaace the account was correct.
and all the material feels gives; and the only mewl.
meets to it we have sew to make are, that some names
were omitted, and that of Captain (who we are gratified
to perceive is now Major) Piteciarence inserted, he not
being at that time is Macroom, but employed on another
writ* in a different dirtied's., as will appear from this
Gestinsan's letter. Lord Bantry himself commanded
the party of Kenny and army which advanced into the
Oleo of Gorrgan Barra. and was it not for the judgment
and skill displayed by his Lordship in keeping possession
of the oily pan which led ion this ragged and moan-
tainoes district by a party of his Lordship's force, great
hers wield have bees entertained for his safety and that
of tbe gentlemen who accompanied his ',lordship on this
swanks. •
The ensiessintion between Macroom and Bantry is,
we apprehend. sot as yet entirely open even to the military.
Tits whole of the coantry is that direction as far as the
tops 0 the hills can be considered the country, and the
read geesralty tons at their bottom, is in possession of
the peasantry, who manifest every hostile disposition.
bet they bayou° fire arms, and are only armed with such
weapons as they could seise upon at the moment. It
appears thessitsfatuated people make others, who may be
tiiamtd for p7ace, join them by the sound of horns,
leader threat of instant death, sad the party which we
anottered in our last, entered this district from the
seigitbserbood of Ababollig, rimed dot peasantry from
their botiq and threatened to set Ire to their houses un-
less they Silted with them. Prom the following letter
which we received this day express from Macroom, and
which is met circumstantial is its details, it will be per-
eeived that die military have gins a good account of
their costing is contact with these deluded and besotted
people, and that they have suffered in such a way, as
will. we trust, pet as end to their maddened god foolish
protects.
