MoRE BLnDy HUMsuGs In IRELAND
The New York Journal Of Commerce, Of the
23d, says: The Irish Repealers in this
country are making themselves ridiculous
By swallowing every absurd story Of great
battles in Ireland. deIen, Of the British
troops, &c. The Tribune Of this morning
Inns telegraphic despatch from Philadel.
phia announcing TINT
"James Lsferty, Of Kcnsing,on, receiv-
cd letter by the Cambria, dated County
Derry. August I'd, which states that the
British forces and The RepeaIers had fought
q severe battle, (probnbly in that county. }
in which 5000 British troops and 1000
Contederates Ind been killed."
We give the above for what il 10 worth,
(ndds the Tribune.) remarking only ths,
there is no doubt Of the receipt of the letter
referred to, NJ il comes from reliable source
In Philadelphia.
This is clearly diffcren, battle from that
of "Slievcnnmon," published exclusively
by the Tribune las, Monday, in which
5000 British troops were killed md wound.
cd. including Gen. Med 'naId killed. In
the Derry battle, 5000 British troops were
killed, according To the above letter To
Jnmes LatierIy, making total Of 1000
10 two engagements. Pretty we'll for be.

II is little remarkable that m one can
get tho news except the Irish Repealers.-
We ourselves had arrangements bv which
we ought 10 have received. and did receive,
intelligence from Ireland To the latest mo.
ment, Blu, the Rcpcalers ou,strp US entire
~.
Now, 10 be serious: The only bnttle In
Ireland down to the date Of the latest advi.
ces received in this country, WINS the affair
of Bousgh Common, on the Goth ultimo,
which resulted in the dispersion of the in.
surgenis BY the Police, without resortiny 10
the military mt all. Ses eral Of the insuI.
gents were killed.
For ourselves we do not believe there
mW he anv very bloody battles in ireland;
and for this reason chiefly. that the British
inrce in that country is too great to render
success on The par. Of the insurgents prob
able. The latter are badly armed, sni
without discipline. They may have physi-
cal courage enough, but they will not, We
suspect, be in hurry TO display il, with
out some reasonable chance Of success.
