ERE Fo . x 'gan, as usual, his Party to rhosose, He shed tear: of the tankard o'er old HARRY HOUSE Lamenting that DEATH, with his all•ctstting sickle At length had cut down that politica/Tickle. • As a man who, alive, from the Cause would ne'er swerve, He hop'd that the CLUB would his menfry preserve. He then gave a Toast that 'twas easy to carry, • And each man fili'd his glass in behalf Of OLD HARRY, After pond'ring, and staring around like an Ox, Mr. Coma E gave the health of his frienel Mr. FOX. This Toast was receiv'd with a shout of applause, And Fox, when it ended, thus empty'd his jaws. " Since I last had the honour THE CLUB to attend, Some events'have oceur'd on which much will depend. 'Tis said, when I spoke of the end of the War, In exulting at Peace I went rather too far; 'Tis said that the War I too much did bewail, And I glory'd too much that its objects should fail. • And what if I did so, with pleasure I own . I'm rejoic'd that THE BOURBONS must give up their throne. But I did not rejoice that Glt EA r Bzt z rA IN should sink By a Peace that degrades lier,at least, as 1 think. I rcjoied when of War we extinguish'd the flame; And when Peace with America heretofore Caine, I rejoic'd not that we had oUR COLON IES lost, But I thought that by Taxes they should not be cross. The AMERICAN WAR I oppos'd, to prevent The Taxing of any against their consent; I oppos'd our FR t.Ncu WAR too, for just the same thing, That ifitENCIIMEN might never be tax'd With A KING. " As I never could wish that such ohjeas should thrive, The news of a Peace made my hopes all revive ; The Treaty we have is a very great Boon, And, I trust, we shall get the Definitive soon. " Allow me, my friends, just to hazard a word, On what I have thought, and on What I have heard : I chiefly allude to our internal State, And I hope what I say will not breed a Debate. I hear that our Ministers mean to pursue, What we never could get our last Rulers to do— I hear that 'tis really their plan to recall, The Two BILLS that were found so obnoxious to all ; Those Bills that so deep in odr liberties strike, And that will not let CIT 'LENS Baas they That THE ARMY and NAVY they mean to reduce, Establishments now of no manner of use ; That for IRELAND they mean to adopt a new plan, To conciliate the fibb, and give power to man : For on this I'll insist, friends, 'till lifc's latest hour, There cannot be freedom unless there be power. And hence in conclusion it follows, of course, That toe have nyfi - eedim bec4tuse we've no firce. " Though such things are reported, I little expect s For I see no steps taken to give them effect. This .Club saw with pleasure the last men go out, Who, intugre our eftOrts,in post held so- stout, And when I with them out new Rulers compare, I for them feel Gi smrethi•ng like kindness, I swear. " I hear there are men in ciur int'rest grown cold, But I do not pretend to know more than I'm told. For nay part I own I no proof can deted, And when I've no.reason I never suspeß. I own lam loth to think ill of ecr CI. yr, And none, I should hope, would desert like a scrub, . But some, I am sure, we shall find in each House, Who for arts of the Ministry care not a----SOll3 : In the Lipper there's NO RFOLK, there's BEDFORD, I say, Both staunch : the Lower there's SttEarty, there's GREY. Such men to suspect would be truly a sin— l4o—there's really no chance that such men will get in. I mention such men as occur to my mind, Not doubting that more in our Club we may find. On men such as these, I most firmly rely, And I'm .sure they as soon would prove turn-cants as I. There may be, indeed, an exception or two, But the loss of all such, we have no cause to rue— Whomsoever they join they will bring but disgrace, They prate for a Arame, just to climb to a Place, With men mt•er-zealous, 'tis often the case. But low as our state is, and though people snub When they now heir the name of our once famous Club, *Though our very last hope of employment now fails, And towards us a gen'ral indiff'rence prevails, Yet of men we'can libast, with a proud satisfaction, Who at afir time may be brought into adion. " And now of myself let me just say a wor&— 'Tis my wish, and dui wish I have often aver'd— 'Tis a wish of my . judgment, and not of my choice, No longer in public to strain my poor voice, wish to eetii‘e, and the 'reason is plain— For do what I din, all my einrtsare vain, But should Opprtirnify ever arrive, toE CLUII may be sure that again I will strive -1211 never—no never, desert our great cause— I return, yen my thanks, Friends"—(tumulpeoul applause).

Tt~ E EAT R E.—The Cabinet was opened a se_ cons time last night, at Covent Garden Theatre, and its .rontrnts, particularly those of the musical kind, were very well received by a very numerous Audience. To drop the figure, the new Opera was repeated with undiminished success. It is much shortened, but it is still much too long. — With such music, and such vocal and theatrical merit, a Piece of inferior pteten'sions, would have little danger of critical opposition, or popular dis like.' A Serjeant of the Guards now lying in the UN, per Barracks at Chatham, some time since received a farthing in change for some articles lie bought at one of the s hops i n t h e Barracks, which, upon ex.' amination, proved to be one of, the three wily which were coined in Queen Ann's rgign. He was offer, ed _col, for it immediately, which he refused, and carried it to London, where he got 4001. and a discharge from his regiment. The remaining two farthings, it have been found some time since. ANCIENT EAt R6Oki:, KING'S THEATRE. • THE second Concert of the season was performed last night, under the direetion of the Earl of CHES TERFIELD, for the Earl of UXBRIDGE, 110 is not yet arrived in Town. Perhaps it was the most popular bill ever presented to the Subscribors.— Their MAJESTIES,- the Pit INC EESES, and the DUKES Of KENT and CAMBRIDGE, honoured the Concert with their presen*, with a very numerous train of Nobility and Gentry. Mrs. Bs trOINt being perfealy recovered from her late severe indisposition, made her debut, and Was received with universal applause. In a R s.om, all the delicacies of her voice and execution are heard in the greatest perfeaion. Her first song„ " Farewell, ye limpid springs and floods" (in whien she was encDred), melted her auditors to tears ; and her second, " Sorprender nu' vorresti," a Bravura by fl'Asss, raised them to ecstasy ! In short, her performance was equally -.wonderful and delightful. 'HARRISON', BART'. ENIAN, and the rest of the Performers, sung with their .accustomed interest and effea : and the several Chorusses were given with the greatest correaness and appropriate expression. On Sunday morning last, between two and three o'clock, one. of the Margate Hoys belonging to Mr. SACK tar,, heavy ; laden with corn, which was stowed both in the hold and on deck, and thirty passengers on board, beside the crew, con. sisting of the Master and four Seamen, was - over. taken by the violent gusts of wind, between Birchington and Reculver : she first unshipped her rudder on the sands, : when becoming unma nlgeable, she kept continually. shipping the most heavy seas, and was carried by the violence of the surf towards the beach ; at this awful period she kept rplling and pitching, and the crew, from their wish, if possible, to preserve the lives of the passengers, particularly those of the women and children who were 'on board, barred down the hatchways; shortly after this the vessel struck on the beach, and filled, a tremendous sea breaking over her in all diredions, which washed nearly the whole of those tipon deck overboard, and, dreadful to relate, 25 persons, con sisting of men, women, and children, are said to have perished. In the course of Sunday, the bodies of nine of the sufferers were thrown upon the shore, and 5¢ bodies have been taken out of the cabin of the boy : had it been daylight, it is possible many more lives might have been saved, but the darkness of the night added to the calamity. AmOngst the suf ferers are Mr. John Goodburn, the Master,' whb is Supposed to have received a blow on the temple from the boom; Mr. Thornton, carpenter, of Margate, with his wife and son, whom he was taking up to town to put out apprentice, and, sorry we are to say, they have left six orphans at Margate to lament their untimely end ; Mr. Bone, carpenter, of Margate ; the wife of Mr. Jacob, of Broadstairs; the widow Crow, of Margate ; Mrs. Tatnall, wife of Mr. Tat nail, at the Lord Nelson, at Ramsgate ; and a ser vant 'girl, with a child under her care, with whom she was returning to Town. The few who were saved ascended the shrouds ; amongst these was Mr. Nuckle, of the Library, at Broadstairs. Nothing could present a more awful spedacle than the re peated arrivals at Margate, on Sunday, of various carriages with the bodies of the sufferers from the wreck. A dangerous putrid fever which lately broke out among the children at the Orphan House at Vienna, is fou n d to have, originated i n the children's lick ing the pencils which they employed in painting cotton. The attradions of the Egypt;ana, at thayceum, are rapidly rising in the estimation of the Public ; its visitors are commodiously and elegantly amused in away by which no sensible mind is degraded. The scope of the Entertainment is extended into ,the Regions of Spedrology, 'tis true ; but the Ghost of " Sir Bevis of Lancaster" appears with so natural a kind of illusion, and is so neatly intro duced, that the impression it leaves on -the.speeta tor is perfedly divested of the effed of raree.show representation ; arid, of course,. draws forth the approbation of classical sense, as well as the plaudits of common curiosity. On Saturday last, about one o'clock, a woman about thirty years of age, and extremely well dress ed, was observed to throw herself off the wall of Kensington Gardens into the Serpentine River, frinn which she was soon afterwards taken out, and every means immediately used to restore her to life, bUt without effed, as she had been suiroCated by her head sticking in the mud, the water being very shallow in that part of the river.. The five footpads taken on the Kent Road, were yesterday re-examined, when two of their persons were identified by Mr. Spear, of Greenwich, for robbing him one night about a fortnight ago, on the Kent Road ; and for which offence they are, to rake their trial at the next Assizes. • • On Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, as Mr. Wood, of Southall-Green, Middlesex, was returning home on horseback, he was attacked near Notting- Hill, en the Uxbridge road, by four footpads, who robbed him of kis watch 'and money, but in pulling his watch out of his pocket the chain broke. Very shortly after the Bow-street Patrole, being informed of the robbery, went in quest of the depredators, and near criiven-Hill apprehended three men, on one of whom they found a large pistol, and on ano ther, part of the watch.chain belonging to Mr. Wood. On Tuesday evening a man. was appreherded by a party of the Bow.street Patrole, at Palmer's Green, near Etlatonton,_ . on suspicion of baying been guilty of divers footpad robberieS in 'that •neigh bourhood, Yesterday he was examined at Bow saw, when his- person was identified by a labour ing man who resides at Palmer's Green, and who, in company with another man, was -stopped on that road on the night of the roth of January last, by five footpads, who beat them very severely, and robbed them of what property they had about them. Ten footpads have been apprehended by the Row_ street Patrtile, on the different roads about London, within the last ten days, all of whom have been sworn to for highway robberies- PARIS, Ftn. 6. We have this moment received a Pdper from Nev. , -York, dated December is, containing an ac_ count of the lait events in St. Domingo. Its con. tents are as follows : ACCOUNT OF THE EVENTS WHICH HAVE PASSED IN THE NORTH OF EA. DOMI% - (1.4 FROM SEPT.: 7, TO NOV. 4., 1801. Having left the Cape in order to install the. Tribunals of Appeal and Cassation at - ‘rarAies, Ge. neral DES6AL INES took me aside to communicate to me a letter which he had received from Gonaives.. At that - moment I received•one directeA to my self, which informed me of an insurreaion iii the North. We immediately returned to the Petite.: Riviere, at the same time - giving orders to . the 4th dcrlii-brigade which happened .to be then at S r . Marc, to matc quickly as possible to Gonaives. h as " Having - arrived at GorLdvcs Oct. z 4., we learnt that the Chief Of Brigade, VERNET, had set out for Plaisance, with a battalion of the 7th demi-bri. gale, and a detachment of 01,2 battalion of Gonal,.es, to which a great number of Citizens had 7oluntari. ly joined theMselves, as well as some Members of the,Civil Authorities. . On the approach of General tifERNET, the re bels took to flight, alter having committed seveLat outrages in the town of Plais,,nce, as-siissinaied a number of the Citizens, and called out, as they fled —" General MOYSE is for us !—lle is our Chien —lt is' he who supports us " I passed the night at the Cocherel.—At one o'clock in the morning of the isth two companies of my Guides arrived. At day-break I went to Gonalves to give my last orders to General IjES - - SALINES, and immediately after I set out for the Cantor of Loverture. " .The . sarne day, .General DEssAtANEs, at the .head of the first battalion of the ch. deini_t;rigade, Marched to Plaisance, having orders to march suc cessively through • all the revolted parts of the ,North. Arrived .at the town of Levert are, I there found the Military Commandant, CLAUDE MAR. TIN, at the head of the. Troops of the Line and the National Guard; which, on account of its zeal, de serves much praise. I was highly satisfied with the dispositions he had made. The best order was maintained in the'town . and canton, ail was trail. quii, and the labours of agriculture had not been for • a moment suspended. ' The news arrived there that the town of Marmalade had been taken by the rebels. " Next morning at break of day, I went to Marmelade with two companies of the battalion of Gonaives, commanded by Citizens JEAN CHARLES and Coco. I: wished to leaVe the COMlllaDdialt, CLAUDE MARTIN, at Loverture, erittusting him with the tranquillity of that.quarter. He repliA that he wished to folloW me; and that he was cer... tain, that notwithstanding his absence, his quarter Would remain in tranquillity. We soo:4 perceiVed the rebels comingto-- reconnoitre:us; . but after the first discharge, .they fled with incoßceivable speed. I had given orders to kill none that could he made ptisOners. But it was difficult to restrain the indig nation of my brave comrades, enraged at a concha which might refled disgrace on themselves. " On. the same day, 061. 26, I entered Mar. melade. The rebels fled on all sides, towards Lod friere, threatening us with General IVIorsE. " At Marmelade I received the news that Ge, neral DESSALINES had entered. Plaisance. He in forMed me that his first care, on his arrival there, had ben to re-establish order, to panish the guilty, and to shew no mercy to those who had embrued' their hands in blood.—They were all put to death: " The same day I learnt from report, that Gen. MoysE was at Dondon, and immediately after I was informed that CHRISTOPHER SELLY, the Com mandant of Marmelade, had received a letter, an nouncing the arrival of General AiloysP. with a con siderable body of troops at a place named Bois pen, about half a cannon-shot from Marmelade. " I ordered him to come to me, and to leave his troops where they were. When he came, I said to him, " Every thing tends to convince me that yoU are the author of this revolt. The Rebels every where give out that they aft in your name. It is for your honour to justify,- yourseif, and the first means you ought to employ is to restore every thing to order ; for if you be guilty, your 'rank of a General Officer shall not save you; you shall be punished more severely than any other person." " I asked him how many men he had ordered to be punished at Dondon:. .11e . replied, none. I asked how many- he had caused co he arrested. He made the same reply. • "'How," said I, " ne you .Com, mander of the Department of the North—have you conic from a quarter ►vlierc the most horrible assassi, nations 'ate committed, and yet have neither;.Pu nished nor arrested any one , ? Here are your. or. ders—Return to Dondon ; 'cause all the guilty to be arrested, and send them under an escort to me, that I may interrogate theM.", (To be co'?!tinued.)
