For the PENNSYLVANIA PACKET.
LE T others toil, their empire to extend
By baneful conquest, for a felfifh end.
Let Britain's Monarch aim at lawless pow'r,
And on our western world his vengeance fhow'r;
Or fend his fertile minions to destroy,
What Heav'n's decree forbids him to enjoy. #
While you great LOUIS, with a God-like mind,
r°rfift in your resolve to save mankind.
When George vindictive hurls the venom'd Reel,
The rankling wound he gives, affuafive heal.
As with new poisons new fpecifics spring,
So you're Heav'n's antidote to Albion's King.
When wing'd by rage his eager navyfl es,
To execute that wrath which never dies;
Like friendly sylphs that watch o'er fprights malign,
Let thy D'Onvilbiers check the wild design:
Or may D'Estaing, with well tim'd aid, once more
Scatter your raving thunders o'er our shore;
And fill each treach'rous heart with deep difinay,
While the true patriot hails the joyful day.
Long mail mffguided Britain vainly strive,
While you, Protestor of the w@rld, fur Vive;
While Heav'a directed policy inclines
Your counsels, and our various force Combines ;
While France and these United States conjoin'd,
Their mutual irt'reft in the union find.
No more shall partial laws grind down the land,
Oppreflion rule, with flow, but heavy hand,
Or seeming public good, abridge our rights;
But hence, uncheck'd we'll mount to glory's heights ;
Approv'd by all the just, by Heav'n and you,
While pale Britannia sickens at the view.
As the fond parent fees a fav'rite son,
Thro' all the dangers of his childhood run,
Venture, at length, on the world's busy stage,
And in the paths of wealth his hopes engage ;
Jn honest rapture he the youth surveys,
With fafety treading o'er life's flipp'ry ways:
So will you view these States with fond furprize,
Which, by your foft'ring hand, are help'd to rife.
Go George, deluded monarch ! search your mind,
Strip it of passions dark, fallacious, blind;
Let truth and candour the refwit declare,
And shew the vain and wretched thing you are:
How falfe ycrar joys, all ending with a fling,
Nor can reflection soothe the pains they bring.
While LOUIS, arm'd in honor, justice, truth,
Rises more noble, from the ftrffieft proof;
Rever'd on earth by all the good and wife,
Favour'd above by HIM who rules the Ikies.

A Cerrefpondent baa favored us with the following Piece
of Oxford Wit.
UPON the treffel pig was laid;
A dreadful fqueaki@g, lure, he made:
Kidpig flood by with knife and steel —
“ Can'ft not lie quiet? Why dost squeal?
“ Have I not fed thee with my peafe?
" And now, for trifles such as these,
“ Dost thou rebel ? — So full of visual—
" Can'ft not be cut and flafli'd a little."
To whom thus piggy in reply—
<'How canfl thou think I'll quiet lie ?
" Or that for peafe my life I'll barter"—
“ Then pig%y you must show your charter,
" Prove you're exempted more than others,
« Or go to pot like all your brothers.
(Pigfruggles)
" Help, neighbours help, l —this pig's so strong,
« I fear I cannot bold him long—
" Oh help, I fay! See, by my Blunder,
He's gone and broke his bands affunder.
Exeunt omnes.
Pig running, Killpig after him,
neighbours following, God
knows whither !
