tement among them.

5000 people OIL the ground, (Natives,) they
had three pieces ofcannon stationed in front
of the church, and demanded possession of
it. The Irish Greens, a volunteer company
composed of Catholics, were placed in the
church TO protect il, but it was no go, the
Natives were too strong for them-they sent
in a volley of stones, and the Greens in re-
turn, fred on them, report says one dead
and two wounded, one of them was an Irish
Green. The mob, now, II O'Clock, are in
search of the Greens, but have not succeed
ed in finding him. The mob went back to
the church and said it must be burnt.
