Dublin, April 3. . . The misunderstanding between the
inhabitants of Kilkenny and the Fencibles, is likely to
increase to a most dangerous height of rancour. Several
lives have already been lost in the different rencounters,
which are continued from day to day with unceasing violence.
The officers of the Fencibles were excluded from the
Assembly and no friendly intercourse whatever suffered
between them and the town's people. . . [7 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. . .
[combat between the Fencibles and the inhabitants of
Kilkenny.]
