The town of Boulogne-sur-Mer, that favourite rc-
treat of English and Irish entigiatits on the Fretl:4
coast, is inlna stale or uproar and confusion, in con-
sequence of a satirical poem publi►hed nod t‘idely
circulated there, with greet industry, on the Ist of
April. A friend has favoured us with copy of ibts
precious saorceau, but which, for obvious reasons,
we decline to publish. It is addressed to %he
Virgins qf the Sins. alluding, it is supposed. to it
Mrs. M. end her three daughters, who lately ap-
',turd at a masquersde in the comomp of these
heavenly damsels. These it represents as actively
employed in Deutsch of husbands, and it also em-
braces a great number of military diameters, includ-
ing some Ofhcers of the 18th Hussars, and several
others, amounting in all, male and female, married
and single. to 34 persons.
The I'oet concludes his piece with a promise td
renew his song on the Ist of May, a promise that
has materially increased the effect of the present
production.
Lord Greenock, son of Earl Cathcart. feeling
hiutself alluded to in the Poem, immediately pub-
lished the fulloiring notice :

" thole Royale de Vollinnalique, Boulogne,
April 1, 11118. .
- -

" Lord Greenock's name having been made stir of in •
rose and scurrilous Libel, which was circulated this morn-
ing in assologne, wherein Ike reputations of several highly
respectable families were attacked iu a Inuit cowardly man-
ner, Lord &remark takes this public opportunity of ale-
elating, that the Author, whoever he may be, is a concord, a
liar, and a scoundrel."

This notice wrs posted up in the Subscription

Reading-room—and several other Gentlemen, who
feel affected by the latipoon, have, in aid of it,
threatened to put all the horsewhips of the place in
requisition for the use of the offender's back, whe-
ther male or female ; but we consider these threats
more likely to promote concealment than discovery.
In respect and delicacy to the fair sex, we shall
not notice the names of the Ladies introduced in
the libel. The following Gentlemen are among
those apparently designated in these peace-destroy-
ing verses :—Lieutenant-Colonel Stavely, Royal

Staff Corps; Earl of Uxbridge, 7th Hussars ; Mr.
Vandeleur, Royal LAocers; Lord Greenock, Lord
Cathcart, Lieutenant-Colonel Evan% Mr. Chatter-
ton, Mr. Lane, Mr. Wallace, Royal Lancers ;
Rev. Mr. Tunney, Chaplain to the Forces.
