p. M.1A dispatch from Belfast this
| evening says the sole object of the rioters in
renewing the disorders in that city to-day
was plunder. Reinforcements for the
troOps.nOw in Belfast continue to arrive,
but the railway facilities are insufficient to
promptly convey all destined for the city.
1t is the intention OF the military authOri-
ties to resort to extreme measures to sup
press disorders.
Ex-Emperor Napoleon, in an interview
with correspondent of the Telegraph, said
he did not consider the approaching meet
| fhg of the EmperOrs of Germany, Russia
and Austria any indication of danger to the
peace of Europe.
The ex Emperor keenly criticised the ex-
| penditures of NJ. Theirs administration of
the government of France
Slight disturbances have occurred at
Leicester, Maidstone, Exeter and several
other towns in consequence of the early
closing of public houses in compliance with
the provisions of the new licensing act.
New YORK, August ga special dis
patch from London to the Telegram says:
The Orange riots in Belfast continue with
unabated fury, and a regular panic pre-
Fol, I'D
the city. The Orangemen, in bodies of 300
and 400, issue from their headquarters in
Sandy row. and rush through the principal
streets like demons, firing in all directions
II Is apprehended that they will attempt to
demollsh several Roman Catholic instltu-
tions, and large reinforcements of the con
stabulary have accordingly surrounded
them to resist attacks. Several regiments,
including detachment from the royal bar
racks in Dublin, were drawn up to-day in
High street, Donegal street and in the
vicinity OF Linen Hall, ready to charge the
rioters.
The Dragons and mounted constabulary
patrOlled the city last night, but the shoot
ing was as brisk as ever, and in many in
stances innocent victims were killed. Bitter
outcTies are made against the city aUthOri-
ties, who allowed the tends to pelt the
troops with bTicRbats, wreck churches, pill
lage stores and peTpetTate atTOciOus mur-
deTs before they gave the word Of command.
The mode of warfare is cOwardly in the ex--
treme, and people walking quietly along
are shot down like dogs. At this writing
the hospital in Great Patrick street is filled
with wounded and dying, and the screams
OF the sufferers are heartreuding. Several
women have been shot.
The troops can do nothing without the
sanction Of the mayor, who owing to the
great indignation of the citizens, has at
length been compelled to order the military
to engage with the rioters. About dozen
persons have been shot at the sO-Called
BOyne bridge. 1t was at first thought or
der would be restored in q day or two. but
the partiality and bad management of the
authorities have led to the present dread
ful state of affairs.
Many private houses have been torn down
or burned.
Worked mp to q fit of desperation, the
Roman Catholics from the district known
as the Pound Liney and Hercules street
have appeared in the streets TO resist the
atrociOus assaults Of the Orangemen, who,
for the last two or three days, have made
most appalling threats. Responsible citi-
zcns are seized with terror and arc
trembling in their houses with fear. The
ship carpenters, mostly Orangemen, have
joined the rioters with their formidable
weapons.
The opposing parties had several engage
ments last night and this morning, and
separate the Orangemen and Roman Cath
Oics. Several of the soldiers belonging to
the FOrtieth Regiment of Infantry were Sc
riOusly wounded and carried to the hos
pital.
