Monthly Chronicle .

Lord Shannon informs me , that men of three and four thousand pounds a year were employed in escorting baggage and carrying expresses . Mr , John Latouche , who was a private in his son ' s corps , rode 25 miles in one of the severest nights , with an express , it being his turn for duty . The merchants of Dublin , many of them of the first eminence , marched 16 Irish miles with a convoy of arms to the North , whither it was conducted by reliefs of Yeomanry . The appearance in this metropolis has been hig hly meritorious . The corps have been formed of the most respectable Barristers , Attornies , Merchants , Gentlemen , and Citizens , and their

numberis so considerable , and their zeal in mounting guards so useful , that I was enabled greatly to reduce the garrison with perfect safety to the town . The numbers of Yeomanry fully appointed and disciplined in Dublin exceed 2000 ; above 400 , of whom are horse . The whole number of corps amount to 440 , exclusive of the Dublin Corps . ihe gross number is nearly 25 , 000 . There are also 91 offers of service under consideration , and 125 proposals have been declined ; and , in repl y to a circular letter written to the Commandants of the respective corps , their answers almost universally contained a general offer of service in any part of the

kingdom . ' Many prominent examples of individual loyalty and spirit have appeared . Art useful impression was made upon the minds of the lower Catholics by a judicious address from Dr . Moylan , the titular Bishop of Cork . I cannot but take notice of the exertions of Lord Kenmare , who spared ho expence in giving assistance to

the commanding officer in his neighbourhood , and who took into his own demesne , a great quantity of cattle which had been driven from the coast . Nor could any thing exceed the ardour of the Earl of Orrhond , who , Vvhen his regiment of militia was retained as part of the garrison of Dublin , solicited with so much zeal a command in the flank companies , that I thought it a measure due to his Majesty ' s service to encourage his lordship ' s request .
