Ireland.  Dublin, April 3. . . We are sorry to hear that the
difference which commenced last Monday se'nnight at
Kilkenny, between the Leinster Fencibles and the town's
people, are so far from subsiding, that they have risen to
an alarming height, . . . [15 lines]
  Colonel Talbot's Fencibles marched into Kilkenny on
Patrick's Day; that evening hostilities commenced, when the
retreat was beating; their drums were taken from them and
broke; and it is even said, the guard who accompanied them
had their firelocks wrested from them and destroyed . . .
