No bulletin relative to the operations of the army had been pnblifhed by government for the two proceeding days, and, trom the general omplexion of our private advices, we are appreiienfive that they Were in polRffion of no intelligence, the tjuhliea ion of which would afford any fa- cbfaction to the friends of order and iron qnHity.

It is added, hat five pieces of artillery fell into the lands of the rebels during the root of his maitlty's troops, the furvivincr part of whom effedfed their retreat with confide rable difficulty.

A many troops as can be fpared f rom o tber parts of the country are on theii march towards the infurgent counties of Waxford, Carlow, and Wick low ; but as the difaffected ifate of the North, as welt a the South, renders it unfaf to draw the military in any great n ambers from :hofe quarters, 10,000 men, including fe veral . cgiineiifsot cavalry, are immediate ly to be Cent from England, tor the pur pole of aid inn thofe who are at preftnt an march to attacK. ise "The inra be fpeedily fubdoed, and the eohnrry tod.
