" " ° An ODE on LIBERT Y.
HAPPY'^the man, who unconftrain'd
Obeys but nature's equal laws ;
Who fears no power, by might maintain'd,
And boldly vindicates his country's cause.
Fortune's attacks, secure he braves ;
Firmly prepar'd for any chance ;
None tremble at her frowns, but Slaves ;
Whole dastard fears their abjed hopes enhance.
His roving Heps, uncurb'd by dread,
From clime to clime can freely roam:
He goes where choice, or fortune lead,
Freedom his guide ; and all the world his home.
Confeious of worth, his generous foul,
To stoop to lawless power disclaims:
No threats or force his thoughts controul,
He e'en enjoys his liberty in chains.

A Letter from a Gentleman in New-York, to his
friend in New-London, dated the 13th inst. fays,
Capt. Lawrence informs me that at a Meeting at
Guildhall, Fifteen Thousand Pounds fterl. was sub
scribed in half an Hour, for the poor of Boston, &
some others have Accounts that they made it up to
Thirty Thousand Pounds."
" Petitions however were thronging into the
House from all quarters, praying that healing mea
fares may be taken.
" General Gage's Letters being read in the
House of Commons, it appears from one of them
that it had been recom mended to him by Lord Dart
mouth to disarm some of the Colonies, which in his
opinion was not practicable, till he was master of
the country :

hands high, compleat well made every way, car

he is allowed by all, to be as beautiful a feed horse
as ever was brought into these parts. This Horse,
being but half English, the-other half the old Na
raganfet breed, is much preferable to full blooded
horses, and is thought by the belt judges to be a
better horse for mending the breed in these parts,
than any full blooded horse whatever. This horse,
four years past, being but four years old, was al
lowed to cover but fifteen mares, thirteen of which
proved with sole, two flunk by bad, or hard using
the mares: Eleven likely colts raised, some .of

at one year old.-.-Said horse will cov@r at two
dollars the season.
