The different posts on the town-wall were guarded with the utmost vigilance, and intrusted to the pro- tection of the )''eomen infantry, supplementaries, and armed inhabitants, while the North Cork mi- litia undertook to defend the barracks. It was ex- pected that General Fawcett, now supposed on his march from Taghmon to Wexford, must fall in with the insurgents, and thus keep them so well em- ployed on that side as to afford a favorable oppor- tunity for a sally from the town to attack them o...n the other. It was, therefore, resolved to try the success of this manoeuvre, and accordingly. Colonel Maxwell, with two hundred of the Donegal militia, and Colonel Watson, with the Wexford, Ennis- corthy, Taghmon, Healthfield, and Shilmalier yeo- men cavalry, marched out to the encounter. They had advanced as far as Belmont, when Colonel Watson, eager to reconnoitre, proceeded up the hill farther than prudence would permit, and was shot from one of the outposts of the insurgents. The Donegal militia then retreated to Wexford, preceded by the cavalry, who pressed upon them very much along the road.
