Eaton Travers, and Lieut. p l prin, of the royal marines, forced their way into the battery in the most gallant style, under a very heavy fire of musketry, obliging more Ulan treble theirnumbers to fly in all directions, leaving behind about so men and 50 stand of arms. The guns, which were 24-pounders, were then thrown over tt.e cliff, the magazine; &c. destroyed, and the two rem.iining gun-vessels brought off. The zeal and gallantry cf all the officers and crew in this affair, could notthave been exceeded, but I cannot find words to express my admira aui at the manner in which Lieut. Travers commanded and headed the boats' crews, and landing party, setting the most noble example of intrephlity to the officers and men under him. Owing to haling winds the ship was unavoidably exposed to a raking fire going hi, but the foretop-sail-yard shot away, is the only damage of any consequence. I have to regret the loss of one marine killad, and two are wounded. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) HENRY DUNCAN, Captain. To Sir Edward Pellew, Bart.

He endeavoured to excuse himself, saying, that be had been detained by important business— but, as his duty required that all his time should be devoted to the school, the Trustees refused to admit any such ex• cuse, and then he stated broadly that he had been engaged in the business of the New Association, to one divis►on of which he said he was Secretary. The nature of this Asso ciation was inquired of him, and he gave the following. account : That it was an as;ociation instituted for the purpose of separating Ireland from England, by force of arms— that it had also for one of its objects the extirpation of he resy—that, however, the most active person he knew of in it was a Mr. Fi,hrn-, a Protestant,. sho assured him, and the other pers,Jas lie engaged in the plan, that it had the sanction oi:;1 - ,e Catholic COIMIllitt?.?, and Mr. Hay was their Private Secretary—that he had been supplied a b1un !.:71,-r.,s, and many others were armed—as it was easy to prca...rf alms out c f the Stores at the Castle !—and that an attack was shortl , , to be made in Dublin, as they were assured that the rison was at present very weak. Euch was': substance substance of the statement made by this man. The xstces adjourned to the next day, and then called hi .::fiire them. liking sober, he wished to con retract the facts, but being closely pressed, he ad mitted that he had become a member of such an Associa tion, and repeated the account he had given the preceding evening, with this addition—that he believed the name of Fisher was not a real, but an assumed name. The Trus tees instantly dismissed him from his employment as School-master, and endeavoured to make him sensible of the crime he had committed, and of the evident falsehood of the representations that had been made to him. " On Thursday, the 2d, those facts were communicated, for the first time, at the rooms belonging to the Catholic Committee in Capel-street, to Mr. Hay, in thepresence of Major Bryan. The Gentleman who made the communi cation was not present at the examination of the school master; and it therefore became necessary to ascertain the facts from some person who was. This could not be done until Friday. On that day, several Members of the Catho lic Committee met at D'Arcy's, in Earl-street ; and the facts Loring stated to them, they unanimously resolved to communicate the entire transaction to the Attorney-Gene ral, in the presence either of Mr. Grattan, or of the Knight of Kerry ; a precaution which, circumstanced as • the Members cf . the Catholic Committee were, they thought prudent, and could not be improper. Neither of those distinguished Gentlemen were in town on Friday ; but cwiresses were sent them, and also to Lord Fingal, who was at Killeen Castle ; and early on Saturday morning the three arrived in town. Tt was the opinion of those Gentlemen that they e.ht, in the first instance, to wait on the Attorney• Gen- `1 Mr. 3.
