POL7'III - . Fon the following animated Specimen - of descrip , tive Poetry we are indebted to an unpublished Work on Ricli aioxn Ham. and its beautiful Vicinity, writ ten by the Anther of Indian Antiqu'ities, and many other works distinguished by learning and genius. SHEEN. in times when barbarous Superstition reign'dy And Rome's resplendent rites the soul enchai&d, At S tic EN, in all its bright insignia drest, Where prostrate kings the hallow'd pavement prest, And mitred priests, while rapt Devotion gn'cl, On high the consecrated chalice rais'd : How radiant blaz'd the altar's chetish'd fire ! How grand the music of the swelling quire ! Now o'er some valiant chief, in battle slain. Symphonious flow'd the solemn dirge-like straitly While o'er his dust, with funeral pomp inurn'd, The glimmering lamp of midnight vigil burled 6 Now, in resounding chorus, roll'd along The full o'erflowing tide of sacred song—. A hundred burning censers breathe perfume, A hun4red tapers light the bl,zing dome, On wings of fire the fervid soul ascends. And tow'rds its parent source enraptur'd bends l The beaten cymbals, and deep• choided shell Sound to the sacred trumpet's solemn swell g Their powerful aid unnumber'd Voices joins And loud Hosannas rend the vaulted shrine Refulgent blaz'd the pidured roofs, array'd In all the dastling pomp of light and shade, While gold and azure charrn'd th' admiring eyes, ,and cherubs floated in cerulean skies! A master's hand had sketch'd the bold design, The fire of gtnius mark'd each glowing line, Devotion's radient symbols flasn'd above, Tice dazzling wonders of redeeming love— the star that sparkling with untivall'd rays, O'er humble fist laz,su • shed its hallovvid The dove, refulgent with the silver wings, What hovering paus'd o'er tordan's sacred springs, Alt, 'Settling on the Saviour's lowly head, Bright as ten thousand suns, its glories shed. All.ll. that in faith transports, in virtue charms, All that in guilt the shuddering soul alarms, Heav'e's awful visions, bursting on the sight, In rays that glow'd insurnrably bright, prom the proud roofs and pidur'd windows stream't4 And thro' the dome in rainbow glory beam'du *The Monastery of Sheen was denoMinated by the founder (Henry V.)

THE THEiITRE. Covent Orden. Last night a young Lady, whose name, we under- It Nfld., is BoLrow, made her first appearance in public at this Theatre, as Polly, in The Beggars' Opera, be fore a very numerous an-dience. Miss Bovroti seems to be about seventeen years of age. Her face is very , pleasing, and her figure light and elegant. Her voice is not very powerful, but is of extensive com pass, and will doubtless be much strengthened by praaice and increasing years. Her tones somewhat resemble those of Mrs. DICKONS, late Miss POOLE, and her figure and gesture reminded us of Mrs. H. JOHNSTON. She sung with taste, and did not, upon the whole, attempt too much—a• fault that seems to be rapidly increasing among all our vocal Performers. There was an evident appety mice of good sense and feeling in the whole of her performance, and we venture to augur that she will display theatrical, as well as vocal powers, well worthy of cultivation, and such as will render her a favourite with the Public. She was encored in some of the Airs; and her reception alto gether was most flattering. Indeed, we may fairly say, that we have not, for a long period, witnessed so very promising a first appearance. . - - MUNDEN resumed the charaeler of Peachum, which he altogether perfOimed so well as to stand in no need of. the " dantnies" by which he fre quently attempted to.enrich the dialogue, and which are now so common on the Stage as to deserve some strong mark of public discouragement. ,SIMMONS took similar liberties in adding slang terms to the dialogue, and, in his 'Filch, displayed too much, of the manners which may be supposed to prevail Dyot-street and its refined vicinity. Mrs. C. KEMBLE has long been admired for her. spirit in the part of Lucy, and that spirit was fully maintained last night. lUCLIDON gave the airs of Macheath with great skill and expression, but was so forcible in " The Ply that sips treacle," that it may fairly be asked, if he does so mach with a Fly, what, would lie do with an 'Elephant ? Signora CATALINI, who has arr;ved in town, is ;about twenty-four years of age. She is handsome, and possesses a fine tigure, rather inclining to the embonpoint. Her talents as a Singer are of the first order, and her voice of remarkable coal- pass ; but she is not profound in her knowledge of music.—Report says that she is to have no less than 8000 i. for her performance next season at the Opera House—but this may be deemed a most ab surd exaggeration. Lord Ttruittow, we regret to hear, did not leave the world in amity with one of 'his Lordship's daughters. This Lady, Mrs. BROWN, it seems, did not marry with his approbation. It is said she was with him at his death, and that he left her only 001. a month, with the express condition that she should not return to her husband. He left 70,0001. td each of his other two daughters. Mr. Illcamtmsog, who was unfortunately wound ed in his duel with the German Baron, has, we are sorry to find, bad a relapse. He is attended by Mr. tyro:, whose prefessignal abilities need no eulogiurn. Married on Monday last, at Exmouth, Devon, by the Rev.

Lome ton and BEYME.-' . 0011111 HAUGWITZ is likewise at the Head-quarters of his Majesty,, where the Marquis LuccurisiNt is also expetied.. Since the departure of the First Bat talion of Guards, the passing of Troops here has dis continued, and nothing is said of the movements which are made on the other side of Nauenburgh.— if is most extraordinary, that at this time, when all are eager for the least news from Franconia, the Newspapers of that Country contain nothing satisfa&ory. All that is known, is, that towards the -end of this month the whole Prussian Army will be ready for the attack. MUNICH, SEPT. Ig.—Prince ALEXANDER BEE.. TRIER sets out to-night or to-morrow morning for Anspach. • Cartridges will be distributed to our troops to-mor row. The infantry companies will be increased from 150 to 158 men, and two new battalions of horse artiltery are organizing with all expedition. • The army Eas received orders to hold itself in readiness to march. UPPPER RHINE, SEPT. Ig, The letters from Paris are very warlike, and give little hopes that the differences with Prussia can be amicably adjusted. It is now said that the troops from the Camp of toleudon will march to the Lower Rhine and into Holland. We are assured that the Emperor will re pair to 'Cologne and to Dusseldorf. However, as the Negotiations still continue, and the exchange of Couriers is very aEtive between Paris. and Berlin, a hope is still entertained that every thing may be amicably adjusted. VIENNA, SEPT. 20.—The new Prussian Envoy, Count FINKERTLEIN, has given in his Credentials. The Emperor wit set out neat Monday, with a part of the Imperial Family, to make the tour of his Hereditary Territories in Upper Austria. The Bavarian troops are beginning to put them selves in motion. They are to join the French Corps. The last letters front Breslau announce, that the Russian troops are arrived tin the frontiers of Silesia. They write from Lemberg, of the date of the Ist of this month, that the Russian troops are making great movements on the frontiers of Galicia, and that the Grand Duke is speedily expe&ed. It Is reported that the Janissaries at Constan tinople have revolted against the Grand Vizier, and that that Minister had only escaped death by a hasty flight. Wh en the last letters left Con stantinople, the Grand,Seignor himself - was in great danger. BRANNAU, SEPT. 16.—N0 change has as yet taken place here. General ST. HILAIRE Stilt: oc cupies this .City with gOOO men, and no person knows when Brannan will be giVen up to the Aus trians. Tht Army of Marshal SouLT, by _the rein forcements from France, and, the troops sent from the reserve of Marshal LEFEVItE, has been augment . - ed to 35,000 men. RATISBON, SEPT. 22 . —The Corps of Marshal SOULT, hitherto posted at Passau, will, to-morrow, be removed to Ingoldstadt; several other Corps' of French troops are arrived, and more expected to- Morrow. HAMBURGH, SEPT. 30.—Letters from Ber!in;of the 27th, state the arrival there of a Courier with very important dispatches for the French Mini ster, M. LAFOREST, who immediately afterwards had a conference with the Cabinet : the result was nn iediately sent off to the King's Head-quarters at Nauenburgh. AT. LAFOREST has every thine , in teadiness for his departure ; all his effeds are packed up, and the greater part of his German servants are discharged. The King will soon transfer his head-quarters to Hof, where the Duke of BRUNSWICK has - the chief command. • The Prussian troops, as well as the Saxons and Hessians, continue to advance; it is said they will aet offensively. LUCCHESINI is arrived at the Prussian Head quarters, at Museburgh; on passing through Frank fort he gave it as his opinion that the differences between the two Powers would yet be amicably terminated.. -Letters received here from- Dr e sd en a s s e rt, that their Russian and Prussian Majesties, the Archduke CHARLES, and the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, are shortly expe6ted.in that city. PositiVe and authentic accounts have been re ceived here of a Russian Army, of nearly ninety thousand men, having reached to the Frontiers of Silesia. A letter from Paris states, that the young Duke of AHREMBEIiG has been some days there, and that his Highness has received the Emperor's approbation to raise a Regiment of Light Horse, of which he is to be the Colonel. BERLIN, SEPT. 27.—Count GORTZ, the Saxon A mbassador resident at this Court, set out yesterday for Head-quarters to attend the King. Yester day a Courier arrived from Paris, at the French Ambassador's here. He is one of the Secretaries of the Department of Foreign Affairs. The Eleaoral Minister of Hesse, Baron Warm, has left Berlin for Cassel, and set out from that place for the Head quarters of the King of,Prussia. It is said that the Crown Prince of Wirtemburgh goes immediately to Paris, on account of certain family affairs. BERLIN ' SEPT. e7,—The French Ambassador, has demanded his passports, but at present he i s still here. The day before yesterday a Courier frouv. Paris brought him dispatches .of the greatest iin portance, 'in consequence of which a Courier was , immediately sent off to his Majesty at the Head quarters. The French Courier had travelled with extraordinary expedition. A Jew of distinction and character among his colleagues (according to some accounts a Banker of the name of Ertramm) has been arrested, and his papers seized, for maintaining a treasonable corres pondence. Another Jew has been arrested at Furs tenwalde. The H e ad-quarters of the Duke of liatnawicx. n f e feniove.4 to at 'the ttooyis.

The Marquis LuccuESTNi has arrived at the Head-quarters at I.Viuseburgh. The Saxon tnvoy*ill immediately set out for the Royal Head-quarters.: • MUNICH, SEPT. 21.--Since the arrival of a Cou rier from Paris with dispatches for the Prince of I r TELTFCHATEL, every thing here has assumed a de cidedly warlike appearance. The French troops itt Bavaria are concentrating themselves ; they !lave to-day begun to move in all dire6tions. Whe ther this movement is general, and whe'ther the Corps of BERNADOTTE has advanced, is not known; but both these are probable. BANKS OF THE MAINE, SEPT. 28.-.-Several bun. dred Peasants have been put in, requisition in this Country, to expedite the completion of the fortifi cations at Wesel. Leiters from Palermo, dated the ioth of August, have been received at Philippsthal from Prince Louis of liassa Punt PPSTHAL, in which he says he hopes soon to be entirely recovered of the wounds he re ceived at Gaeta. , EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HAMBURG Fly SEPT. 30.

His residence is to be Jerilsalzsn, in Palestine, and SAIB HALED EFFENDI, the Turkish Ambassador, who has now left Paris, is. said to have concluded a Treaty:with NArOLEON on the subjeo." FROM THE FREIVCH PAPERS. LETTER FROM lIIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH, KING OF ITALY, TO HIS MAJESTY. TIM KING Q 1 BAVARIA. BRoThert, ' It is upwards of a month that Prussia,has been 'artiiing, and it is known to every body that she is ' arming against France and against the Confederacy of the Rhine. We seek for the motives without being able to penetrate them. The Letters which his Prussian Majesty writes ,us are friendly—his Minister for Foreign Affairs has notified to our En voy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, that he-acknOwledged the Confederation of the Rhine, and that he had nothing to objetq against the ar- R,ngeteent ,uade in the South ot. Germany:. " Are the armaments of Prussiit the result of a Coalition with Russia, or only of the intrigues of the different parties which exist at Berlin, and of the want.of reflbaion in the Cabinet--Have they for objet to force Hesse,-Saxony; and the Hanse Towns, to, contra& ties which these two tatter Powers appear unwilling to fOrm ?—Would Prussia oblige us to swerve from the Declaration we have made, that the Hanse Towns cannot enter into any • particular Confederation—a Declaration founded upon the interest of the Trade of France and of the South of Germany, and upon _what England has made known to us, that any change in the present situation of the 'hose Towns would be one obsta cle more, to general Peace?—We have • also de- , dared, ,that the • Princes of the Germanic Empire who were not comprised in the Confederation of the Rhine ought to be at liberty to consult only their, interest and their convenience--that they ought to look upon themselves as perfeffly free— xhat,we should do nothing to induce them toenter into the Confederation of the Rhine ; but that we, would , not suffer, any person whatever to force them to do what would be contrary to their will, their poliev, or the interests of their people: 'Can so just a beelaration have hurt the*Cabinet of Ber lin, and would it oblige us to retract it ?—Among all these motives, whil,can be the true.one?—We • are unable to' guess ; and: the future, alone can reveal the secret of a conduet as strange as it was unexpeaed: - We have been a mouth without payitei, attention to It. Our passiveness has . only emboldened all the intermeddlers -who wish to pre cipitate the Court of Berlin into the most inconsi , derate strife. • " At all events, the armaments of Prussia have brought on the case provided by one of the Articles of the Treatyof the 12th ofJuly, and we think it neces sary, that all the Sovereigns who compoSe the Con federation of the Rhine should arm to defend its interests—to guarantee its terriPory. • -Instead of 200,000 men whom France is obliged to furnish, she will furnish 300,000, and we have ordered that the troops necessary to complete this number be conveyed post to the Lower Rhine. The troops of your Majesty having always remained on the foot-. ing of war, we invite your Majesty-to order that they. be enabled, without delay, to march, with all their camp equipage, and to co-operate in the- defence of the common cause, the success of which, we dare believe, will answer its justice, in case, against our wishes, and even against our hopes, Prussia should put us, to the necessity - of repelling force by force..

LEIPSIC, SEPT. 18.--The Prussians are •at our gates. They are preceded by - a Proclamation in which they announce themselves as friends. 'We re collea that Ne.len the Austrians invaded \ Bavaria aliont . this time last year, they also announced them selves as friends. For the rest, the left wing of the great French Army is supported by Saxony and Thuringen. • The Kerlin Court .Gazette advertises with empha-. sis, a pamphlet which is sold at, the Bookseller UNGER'S. It is entiLlod " Germany and Prussia," ur the interest which Germany-ought to take in the Prussian Monarchy ; by a " Won-Prassian," says the title. lf the 4uthpr thinks himself sufficiently masked by this name of AM-Prussian, he must have a great idea - of - the simplicity of his readers.

It is, however, to be doubted wh?ther these 7 4picus appeals to the . consciences .of Lutherans ran bring on •a War of Religion ; and, at all events, it rtray 'be safely asserted, that.it, will not la;t thirty yeat,, like the pnevihich was terrinated by - th.e Pezite of Westphalia.--:Pubficiste... STOCKHOLM., SEPT. ROBERTSON haS made an ,aerostatic attempt in this city; To witness this nos el spedacle upwalds of 40,000 persons had assembled, w \ ho expressed-the-most eager anxiety. The roofs of the houses, and the very steeples of the churches - . were covered with speetators. About 7 o'clock in the evening the balloon was launched from the great Tower of the Cathedral, but it:shortly canie to the ground., M. ROBERTSON did not remain five minutes suspended in the element. The place where the balloon fell was a few hundred pates from that whence it ascended. The' balloon and the AEronaut' were concluded by the soldiers to the.public square. The weather was as Livourable for the experiment as could possibly be wished, and ,the Governor had or dered all the peasantry in the environs to render the Aerial Voyager every assistance - in their power to_ return with his, apparatus . to Stockholm.. Th,e Duchess of SUDERMANIA honoured the spedacle with her presence, and even condescended to cut the cord that held the lesser balloon, which had been launched' as a ,precursor. Yesterday M.'
