In consequence of the miscarriage of a letter, there was no firing on the 

 22nd, the only perfectly fine night of the whole period ; and though nine were 

 fired on the 23rd, of which six were seen here, none were visible at Dublin. 

 The moon was now so nearly full, and so low, that it became difficult to see the 

 rockets at Armagh : and the results already obtained proved so satisfactory, that 

 it was thought needless to repeat the signals from this station. Indeed, bad 

 as the weather was, it was as favourable as that which has succeeded it.
