Several ladies have applied to us for our opinion aa
to the probability of a war, the reports in the town, from
the number of couriers that pass, spreading terror among
them for their own safety and that of their children. We
beg to assure them that, so soon as we pereeire the least
indication of even the probability of war, vre'shall pub-
lish a Supplement detailing the grounds upon which our
opinion is formed, and cautioning them for the future;
but, at present. there is not the slightest appearance of
the harmony between the two Governments being dis-
turbed. We request all, therefore, to remain quiet and
calm; we read daily all that is passing at both seats of
Government ; we have a most enlightened correspon-
dent at Paris, who has access to the best and earliest in-
formation, and our readers may rest 'assured that what-
ever we may consider necessary for them to know, shall
be laid before them at the earliest moment. „The num-
ber of couriers is the result of stock-jobbing, or the en.
terprise of the London journals : those wkoknow Bou-
logne and its idle inmates will not pay much attention to
their gossip.—Boulegne Gazette, Sept: 2. •
LoNGuvirv.—Died, a few days since, in Killarney,
a cat and a parrot, belonging to Mr. John M`Seehy,'
New-street, both at the advanced age of 86 years. The
cat and parrot had been given to him by the late Sir
Aubrey De Vero Hunt, of Curragh House, county of
' Limerick.--Dublin Packet.
