The intelligence from Ireland will disappoint
the anticipations OF many. The instruction, IL

The prompt and energetic measures of the
English government have quelled IT, With but
little bloodshed.
On Saturday, the 29th ult, intelligence was
received at Kilkenny that O'Brien, Meagher,
Dohenny, O'Reiy, aud Dillon had been pro-
claimed traitors by the government, and that re-
wards Of 1900 and 1900 were offered for their
apprehension. Notices to this effect were post-
ed all over the country
On the same day the County Inspector Trant
started with 40 or 30 men men from Kilkenny
for Ballingarry, about 2 miles distant, where Il
was understood that Smith OBricn was station
ed with large body of armed pcasantry. A
battle took place. Six of the insurgents were
killed and several more wounded. Inspector
Trant threw his men into n strong slated house,
and succeeded in holding IT until reinforced By
$50 soldiers and 100 constabulary. The insur-
gents were then beaten off,

Very great aid has been rendered to the Gov
eminent by the Catholic Clergy, who have at
every point set themselves against the movement
II is a fact, we believe, that O'Brien and some
others Of the principal leaders are Protestants,
which may account for the want Of sympathy by
the clergy. Many also said, "the time has not
yet come"
Most Of the English papers represent the re-
bellion as at an end, but their statements arc
doubtless TO be taken with some Deductions
The London Herald of the 4th says:-
The rebellion is not put down; and unless
the disaiiected portions Of Ireland be permanent
~ occupied by armed men, ever prepared TO act
with vigor it may break out afresh before the
middle of next week. Lord Clarendon does
not think the rebellion put down. Within the
last three days he has proclaimed nearly one half
Of Ireland under ban"
Lord BrOugham brought up the subject in the
Peers, August 8.
In his opinion the real remedy for the evils
under which Ireland had so long labored would
be found in judicous system of colonization
and in the suppression of Illegal assemblies and
seditious clubs. The Marquis Of Lansdownc
said that though the Instruction in Ireland
might be said to be suppressed, yet the state Of
that country would require the greatest care and
precaution for some time to come.
Under that conviction her Majesty's Govern
nent were resolved to make ample use of the
means confded TO them BY parliament The
ed there was no danger Of an actual outbreak, it
was still admitted that an extensive conspirayc
against the Constitution existed in Ireland.

King Charles had requested 10000 troops from

A long and close battle had been fought be-
