ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
EXCITEMENT. .


tack was made by a small party of Irishmen,
about fifty in number, upon the tents which
had been pitched for the accommodation of
the Native Americans, on the 4th, in Fish
er's woods. The few individuals in whose
care they we're left having been forcibly en-
PEELED, and, in some instances, severely beat
en-, the Irshmen proceeded to demolsh the
tents. Other exasperating outrages are al
legged to have been committed by the Irish,
among which is mentioned the rending and
burning of the American Flag which float
ed over the 9th Ward headquarters in the
Northern Liberties. The excitement pro-
duced by these acts of unprovoked violence,
increasing throughout the day as the knowl-
edge of them was more extensively dissem-
snated, towards evening was inhamed to the
highest pitch, by the rumor that arms had
been carried into the Church known as st.
Phillip de Neri, situated in Queen street,
above Second, in the suburbs of Southwark
At an early hour, large collection of peo-
pie surrounded the building and evinced
determinations of very alarming charac-
ter. The Sheriff soon made his appear
ance, and in compliance with the demand
of the people for a search of the Church,
about ten o'clock in the evening, accompa-
MED by large body of policemen, entered
the building, and brought forth twelve mus
kets, which were conveyed to the South
wark Hall, amidst the uproarous cheers of
the multitude. And after some further par
leying the mob dispersed
On Saturday, however, the excitement
again commenced. During the whole of
that day, knots and crowds Of persons were
IN the ighborhood-some peaceable, 9TH
'ers using threatening language--on ac-
count of the muskets having been found in
the church. The military were on duty a.
bout o'cleck in the afternoon, under the
command Of Major General Patterson, Brig
adler General Cadwalader and Col. Pleas
anton Of the artillery.
A large crowd ofpersons continued there
all day and evening. About dusk, the mil
1tary took command aud cleared the streets
The Hibernia Greens, Capt. CoIIahan, were
placed inside the church.
The Brgadier General, the Sheriff and
their forces marched and Pat=eiled them for
ahe district, up to late hour in the night,
dispensing the crowds.
Gen. Cadwalader in person, ordered stores,
shops, etc, in the immediate vicinity of the
church to be closed. The proprietor Of one,
a drug store, refusing, he was arrested and
his store closed.
A large number Of persons were arrested
during the night, and placed in the lookup
of the district.
About halfpast 10 o'clock, while the mil
itary were guarding the streets, two large
crowds approached, one down Third street,
from CatharIne towards Queen street, the
other up Third from Christian, both meet
ing at Queen street.
The military ordered them to dispense,
but they shouted in derision. An order
was given by Col. Pleasanton, to Captain
Robert K Scott, of the Cadwalader Grays,
to "fre" The Captain arrayed his men,
but before he repeated the word, those of
the crowd in front of him had ran away,
leaving that portion Of the street clear
In this melee several were arrested some
placed I'm the watch-house, and others in the
church
When the word "fire" was given by Col.
Pleasanton, Hon Charles Naylor (late men,
Der of Congress) rushed out and said ono,
don't FIRE" At which, Gen. Cadwaiader
ordered him uader arrest, and to be placed
an the church.
This created great confusion. The Sher-
ifs officers interfered, and desired his re-
lease, but the General sternly refused, and
Mr. Nayior and the others retained in custo-
dy-
The other party we're more obdurate.-
Gen Cadawalader dashed among them with
his horse, one of the crowd seized thc bril-
die, and the general struck him over the
arm with his sword. A brick was then
thrown at the General which struck him
ON the kuee-
Those in custody in the watch-house and
church were discharged on Sunday morn
ing, except two who were remanded for tri'
al.
The authorities, military, &c, remained
until near 3 o'clock in the morning. Some
Of the military and police continued on du
ty all night
Early in the morning Sunday the crowt
gathered again-went to the wharf, took {
cannon from the brig Venus, another they
dug up and cleaned, and loaded them will
spikes.
These they dragged up in front of thu
church, poised them, and threatened tina
unless Mr. Naylor was released they would
destroy it. Nothing being done, the Grove
rushed upon the building, broke in the sld'
door with battering ram, shattered tn
walls and brought out Mr. Naylor in triumph
This was about IL O'Clock, and there wer
four military companies inside at the time.
About three thousand escorted him to hi
dwelling house in Fifth street, above Prune
where he made speech requesting them
