- ~BOURBON WAR.

The French are going on with all possible speed.
The war appears to be, what we always said it would be,
eery popidar. It has already given, by the aid Lrf the
Old Mice itol ether nears-plpers, about ten millions
of English Money to the French ; and, the French
government can keep drawing from us in this way, finless
we go to weer. There have been statements in some of
the London papers, that our people are getting
ready. This is regularly denied 6y the Courier. Aow.
as to the fad, that is uncertain ; for we believe nei-
ther side. But the denial is midis; and it Is also
certain that the Taylor and Barber, who own the
Coarier, would not publish such denial, if they
were not ordered to do it ! Therefore,: their Masters
must wish it to be believed, that they are mot.prepfiriv
fbr war.. This is worth attention, and a .gjeat.deal
more attention than a bawling clap-trap speech from
Anna Brodie's men. It is shocking to'hear some of
the impel holdintont hopes, that the, Spanish Bonds
may by wank something, even though the French sne-
ered ih Spain ! This is really criminal. Flowerer,'
those ilia keep such Bonds now ought to be +41)014'

tluenothing can exceed the entlidsiasm for, war. Ile
tell. us that it is wholly false that there is opposition in
the-public mind of France ; and that it is not 'true that
there has been any disinclination expressed by any
part of the army. Indeed, we never thMight there would
be. lie says that the senseless botanist; the poor stale
old jests, which were put forth last Taesday, will be
ridiculed in France ; and he agre'es with nOlt on 4 opinion
that if the Bourbons still wanted an argunient for goa
keg to war, they hare it in our manifest elan* and hi
