mia is not yet it an End. The 1 aft Accounts Irom
thence import, that the Infurgents have plundered
- (amonglt many others) the Eltate of the Count de
Scafgo fch, and driven away the Count and Coun
tefs, after ftripping them even to their Shirt'and
Shift. Amongft thofe who treated them with fuch .
Indignity are fad to be forne old Servants who .
lived in the Family twenty Years ago. After pil
laging and deftroying one Caftle belonging to Count
Ferdinand Kinlky, they were preparing to act in
the fame Mahner with Regard to another .Callle,
and threatened even to mtirder his Children ; but a
Battallioh of Infantry happily arriving in the Inte
rim, the Commandant defired them to retire,' and
on their Refufal, and having the Audacity to at
tack the Soldiers with Pitchlork and Staves, he
ordered them to Be fired upon, when upwards ct ".. ; "
fifty of the Rebels were killed 7m the Spot, the -.
