 no inconsiderable number of their 

 friends lay in ambush, who, being 

 well armed, discharged a volley of 

 small arms, loaded with ball, swan- 

 shot, &c. at their assailants, which 

 did considerable execution. Among 

 the sufferers, were David Barry, 

 farmer of Fieries, killed on the 

 spot, having received a ball in the 

 breast ; Daniel Tangney, of Cur- 

 rens, a ball in the body, removed 

 to this town, still languishing 

 without hope of recovery ; James 

 Collis of Ballycrisp, skull frac- 

 tured ; Chirles" M'Carry, of Gur- 

 tannuck, dangerously wounded in 

 the side by a ball. There are ma- 

 ny others who received injuries of

 the Exchequer. 



Exchequer, Nov, 2lst, 1812. 

 Sir; — Under the impression 

 which we entertain of the in- 

 creased sacrifices to which the 

 country will in all probability be 

 called, by the pressure upon its 

 resources, in a moment of unex- 

 ampled expense and difficulty, we 

 are anxious to express, through 

 you, our desire and intention of 

 contributing our voluntary aid to 

 the expenses of the war ; we there- 

 fore request you, as the regular 

 official channel of communication 

 from the Exchequer to the Lords 

 Commissioners
