Although the story of the rebellion itself needs not to be told here, certain facts connected with the Artillery arrangements will probably be found interesting. From July 1795, care had been taken to impart some knowledge of Artillery drills to the Infantry regiments in Ireland, the custodians of the battalion guns being required to instruct in each regiment at least 30 rank and file, [Sidenote: G. O., 7 July, 1795.] under a subaltern and two sergeants. At this date the battalion guns were not _brigaded_ on field-days, as was afterwards done; but always marched past at the head of [Sidenote: General Regulations for the march of the army in Ireland, 12 Nov. 1796.] the regiments to which they were attached. The ammunition waggons _followed_ the column. On the 20th February, 1797, battalion guns were issued to the following regiments of Militia, viz., Donegal, Clare, Limerick City, Antrim, Kilkenny, North Mayo, Queen’s County, and Armagh; and one “useful, well-instructed” [Sidenote: G. O., 20 Feb. 1797.] gunner from the Irish Artillery accompanied each pair of guns, which were “to be worked by soldiers of the “regiments.” This had been approved by the Lord-Lieutenant on the 13th February, and orders had been given for the immediate instruction in Artillery duties of over 300 Militiamen. This confidence in the loyalty of the Irish troops shows that the rebellion had but little real hold in the country, except among those with whom it will ever find a welcome, the ignorant and fanatic.
