DUfILIN, JUNE 18.

The Mornittl; Papers of this day contain the
follotving
" Vatious rumours,. of an unpleasant nature,
were in cirdulation through town yesterdily it
Was even asserted, tlt4t several hundreds of per-
mins it`d been obscrv'ed passing through_Cdilege-
green, before eleven o'cl'oek,-on Thursday night,
some .of them- exclaiming " Liberty or Dt.tatly;'—'
We tbirrit •this accomit • must be greatly exag-
gerated—as siich an assemblage :could not have
been collected in the numbers reported, without
cxeitini 43lhe inquiry and _ can, how-
ever, 'assert, from unquestionable authority, that
in slonsequence-of orders from -Goilernment, the
different POlice Magistrates reinained at theirye-
spective -Offices durnig'the night, and in case of
necessity, were diieeted to apply for ...ssistance to
Genentl Meyrick. The garrison, we kno:x, were
under -orders to act at -a moment's notice, and
Several Officers' whO were at the Theatre, were
sent "for, and directed to join"' their respective
rcy,iments immediately, and the guards were
.donbled upofir all the Canal bridges.
As far as we could ascertain `the matter, no
cause appeared to
.justify those measures ; and we
hear tMtt the milltaity Stationed at .Ntos, Kilcock,
rid the other towns in the county of Kildare,
‘vcre 'also under arms the whole of Thursday
night.
`'YAt an early hour yesterday morning, a con-
siderahic military force left tcitvn, LolEmarched in
the direction of Kleock. We have not heard,
front any authority deserving of .credit, of any cir-
' cutusamice which could have made-such vigilanCe.
necessary ; nor is it our wish to excite ..any une-
cessary alarm • -but having good ant horty•for the
facts we have stated, we feel it our duty
to coin-
ntt►nicate them to the Public withone ComMent."

"A considerable portion of the garrison- of this'
city %vas utijer ruins on Thursday night. Ac-
counts, Avitich reached Government front sonic
Magistrates of Kildare-,- gave rise to this unusual
circutnstance. Symptoms of inquietude have,' it
is said, for-some dstys evinced thenfselves' in this-
district. On Thursday, it would'seeni that they
attracted the particular notice of the Magistracy.
A edmmunication' with the Executive Authority
was the consequence., and the precautionary step'
tipwhich we hank ariuded, as well'as the diSpatch-'
ing 'of a hody of cavalry towards the supposed
scene of disturbance, followed as matters of
course. IVehaVe not heen incurious enough not
til inquire`what thoe 4chionstratioOs.were which
attracted—so much -attention.. We received, u•is'
usual, a variety of incOnsistent answers, hut that
upon, which n.!(.0 reljani:e conid.be placed,.qnoted
a total suspension" of WOrki, was ob.servable
on Thursday among alf.:the labouring-ClasseS, .anti
which could not , be, traced to any kitown cause.
Letlhe symptoms of-41rursdpy, however,. lie as
they may, there is reason to sippose, that things.
'are now at least cOnidi2i-ably tranquil."

be able to state whether a .p9o},a,conspirlicy to
