TULLAMORE, a poft-town of the King's county, 

 Ireland, fo called from the river Tullamore, which divides it 

 into two nearly equal parts. This is a neat thriving town, 

 owing partly to the well-direfted exertions of the proprietor, 

 lord Charleville, whofe demefne extends to the fuburbs, and 

 partly to the advantage of the Grand Canal pafllng dole 

 to it. Here are a barrack and market-houfe ; and, what 

 is of ftill greater importance, the linen manufadlory has been 

 introduced with a profpeA of fuccefs. Tullamore is 46 

 miles W. by S. from Dublin.

TULLUSHOSTILIUS,in&o^/-fl/4)',wase!eaedking 

 of Rome, after the death of Numa, in the year B.C. 672. 

 He began his reign with rendering himfelf popular, by 

 dividing a portion of the regal lands among thofe who had 

 no fuch property ; but deviating from the courfe purfued 

 by his pacific predecefTors, he contrived by a ftratagem to 

 engage the Romans in a war with the Albans. The 

 Albans dechning a combat, TuUus propofed an union be- 

 tween Rome and Alba, and for the accomphfliment of this 

 objeft, that the principal Alban families ftiould fettle at 

 Rome. To this propofal the Albans objefted, but it was 

 agreed that the fuperiority of either city Ihould be decided by 

 a combat between three perfons of each city. {SeeCoRlATH 

 and HoRATii. ) The fuperiority of Rome having been 

 thus determined, Tullus proceeded to punilh the Fidenates 

 for their alleged mifconduft in the Alban war ; and having 

 fummoned Mettius FufFetius, the Alban diftator, to join 

 him with the troops of his nation, the diftator apparently 

 complied, but in an engagement that enfued proved trea-

chcrous. The Romans, however, obtained a complete 

 viftory. TuUus and Mettius praftifed the fame kind of 

 diiTimulatiou : whilft the former courteoufly received the 

 congratulations of the latter, he fent a body of troops to 

 demolidi the city of Alba in the abfence of its foldiers, and 

 at the fame time ordered the Roman and Alban troops 

 to attend him in his camp unarmed, but he privately in- 

 ftrudted the Romans to provide themfelves with fwords 

 under their garments. Charging Mettius with perfidy, he 

 ordered him to be feized, and to be faftened between 

 two chariots, and thus to be torn afunder, as an emblem of 

 his attempt to diflblve the union of the two ftates ; the firft 

 and laft example, fays Livy, of a punifliment in which httle 

 regard was paid to human laws ! His accomplices were alfo 

 put to the fword ; the reft of the Albans were conveyed to 

 Rome, and henceforth formed one people with the Romans. 

 Alba, with the exception of its temples, was razed ; and for 

 the accommodation of thefe new inhabitants, mount Cslius 

 was taken into the compafs of Rome. 



Having fubdued the Fidenates, Tullus made war againft 

 the Sabines and conquered them, and then fummoned the 

 Latin towns dependent upon Alba to acknowledge the 

 fupremacy of Rome, wiiofe country, on their refufal, he in- 

 vaded. In his old age, however, he exchanged his military 

 prowefs for the weaknefs of fuperftition ; and terrified by 

 prodigies and apprehended tokens of the difpleafure of 

 the gods, he had recourfe to a variety of expiatory rites. 

 The manner in which his life terminated has been dif- 

 ferently reprefented. Some fay that his palace was flruck 

 by lightning, which deftroycd him and his family ; whilft 

 others have charged his murder on Ancus Martins, his fuc- 

 cefibr, who is alfo fufpeftcd of having fct fire to his palace. 

 He died, however, after a reign of thirty-three years, during 

 which he enlarged the fize and population of Rome, with 

 little addition to its territories. Livy. Dionyf. Hal. Gen.

TuLLY, a townftiip of New York, on the S. line of 

 Onondaga county, 14 miles S. of Onondaga; bounded 

 N. by Otifco, E. by Fabius, S. by Corllandt county, W. 

 by Spafford, which was erefted from tlic W. lialf of TuUy 

 in 181 1. It is now formed of the N.E. quarter of the mili- 

 tary townfhip of TuUy, the S. half being Preble, in Cort- 

 landt county. Its waters are fmall, being head-ilreams of 

 Onondaga creek, and alfo of Tioughnioga creek, of Che- 

 nango, of the Sufquehanna, &c. Tlie whole is well watered 

 by fprings and brooks. Like Spafford, this town has ridges 

 of hills on the E. and W. boundaries, but its vallics are 

 extenfive, rich and produdlive. Tully flats are much ad- 

 mired. The fettlements commenced about 1796, and the 

 lands are held by right of foil, principally by farmers from 

 the eaftern ftates. In 1810, the population was IC92, and 

 the fenatorial eleftors 67 ; but thefe aggregates are now 

 diminiflied nearly one-half by the erection of the town of 

 Spafford from the \N . p;irt in iSil. Tully is now about 

 five miles Iquare.
