insurgents encountered a small body oil po-
lice under Mr.. Blake, the County Inspector
and at first the overwhelming force Of the in
surgents compelled the little band o: the
constabulary to retire. They secured their
retreat into a small house on the borders OF
the common of Boulagh, near Balllngarry,
which having fortified, the insurgents al
vanced headed by O'Brien, lie called up
on the beseiged to surrender, which was an
swered by a volley from their muskets. which
killed several of the insurgents. Dillon was,
it is confidently stated, wounded in both
legs. The Roman Catholic clergyman ar
rived at the scene OF strife whilst this was
going on, and implored the people 10 abstain
from violence. O'Brien, it is said, melted
the people to set fire to the house, or pull it
down, but not being seconded, he appeared
Disguised with the command, mounted a po-
liceman's horse, and took the direction to-
wards Urlingford. BY this time a large boz
dy OF regular troops, cavalry artillery and in
fantry, came pouring in from all quarters,
the insurgents had disappeared, and the mill
tary bivoucked on the field. Various state
ments have been put forth. tending TO show
that O'Brien is scarcely in a state of insani-
ty; his dress and department being aliogeth-
er such as to justify this belief.
The intelligence of the appearance of MIR.
O'Brien in open arms against the govern
ment, created deep sorrow and alarm. The
utter disproportion of strength to cope with
the authorities, the want of money, commits
sariat and supplies; the absence of all or
ganization and resources, showed the whole
affair, from the beginning, to be untterly
hopeless. From England a continued stream
pf fnrNaa NopSicIIpn of Cavalry Infantry
and Artillery, poured Immediately into Ire
land, and an immense fleet of war steamers
encircled the whole coast. The Felon, Ma
ton, and other papers were seized, the types
carried away, and e~ffectual steps taken to
prevent their temperance. Nine counties
were further proclaimed und er the Arms Act,
including Kerry, Galway, and seven baro-
MES in Cork county, Wexford, Queens coun-
ty, Carlow, Kildare, Wicklow, and eight
baronies in Kings county Westmeath, Ueuth
and four b%aronies in Cavan, Farney, Monagh.
an; two baronies in Armagh; and the barony
of Newry, in the county of Down. Meantime
numerous arrests have been made in Dublin
and in various counties
From the latest ad vices received from the
disturbed districts about Balingarry, where
Gen. Macdonald has established his head
quarters, every thing continues peaceable,
with the general impression that the moment
the troops are withdrawn dissatisfaction would
again show itself. O'Brien is supposed, by
the most cool hearted people writing from
the spot, TO be concealed in some of the
mines in the neighborhood of some Of his
late exploits.
