A LOPE LETTER,'
In answer to Betty Wrinkle's letter* to
the Old Bachelor, Tim Crusty ; Ihe
promising to have him, in order to allevi
ate the grief he exprefled in his former
complaint.
DEAR Jhrivell'd wench, I'm vaifeleftyet;
Condemn'd to foam andjnarl and fret;
„^< M, eyes rain brine with grief and care, ^
S And age bat folded off my hair ;
M, fiver beard in ringlets faros,
And time has turn'd awry my nose;
Neou clouds of sorrow daily thicken,
fm deaf and halt and palsy ft rit ken,
Andrutblefsfate pours down difrefo
T o'erftro my cap of bitterness.
When I remov'd to M—d,
Th' affrighted dames like roe- bucksfled,
J mint'd and ogled, coax'd and foil'd, ;
But poor old Tins could get no bride.
Ithen camebare to this fine city,
Where girls are buxom, blitbe and pretty ;
Their /miles provok'd m, blood to aftion,
And diplan'd blujhes beam'd dijiraaion :
Ob, heavens ! their beauties curft m, fight,
Like fiends who ken the realms of light !
I was fupplanted by frond beaux,
(Those blocks and fqaafas sir est in clothes)
Who coax'd the " fond believing fox,"
With faddle-bags\ about their necks.
Inur'd to frowns and bar/h denial,
1 thought I'd make a dernier trial .•
My pelf bad charms,bo'lwai old;
Iply'd a sordid elf with gold,
Who grinn'd affat, and ghaflly fail'd.
And promis'd me bis only cbild.
B'ing jilted by old Jkin-flint's daughter.
I'd like to 'we gone to b—l by water.
Iwould have curft the toils of love.
And fled to seek a wife above,
. But that Jaid " fometbing after death''
Detain'd old Crafty's fleeting breath.
Delusive bope fam'd over fed,
And poor old Tim was almost dead,
When be by chance beard of your letter,
Whichjoyful tidings made him better.
Come, queen of wrinkles, tootblefs Betty,
I long to know if you bufspretty;।
To Brooklyn hie—our wedding-day
Shall be the twenty firft of May;
Then, dear enraptur'd Betty Wrinkle,
Your eyes with am'reus joy jball twinkle !
I'll drink with worlds offoftef fgbs,
Delicious poi/on from your eyes ;
With rapture kifsJour vestal gums,
,As tbo' your snags wery jugar plumbs. {;:
Come, bonny Bet, come safe my pain,/
And bring your Tim to life again:
We'llfail down life witb mirth andglee,
And none jhall love as true as we.

Messrs. Russell & Davis,
In reading the Massachusetts Sp % the follow

you'll find the officer, soldier, and man of ,ria
honor — You'll oblige me by injerting it, with
a few lines thereunto subjoined, by a Cufomer.
Letter of General Kofciujko, to the Supreme Na
tional Convention at Warsaw.
" YN an affair which equally interests the
I honor of the nation and thatof all the
army, l address the Supreme CbenciL—Up
wards of 130 officers who were taken prison
ers in the unfortunate battle of the 13th inst.
requested to be treated on their parole of
honor. General Ferfen granted them this
charitable and humane treatment. But I
must inform you with regret, that nine of
them were base and abject enough to make
afterwards their escape from the Ruffian
camp, to the ffiame of the Polish warriors,
without remembering their sacred word they
, pledged as officers, and quite heedless of the
dif.greeable consequences which might have
resulted from it, to their worthy comrades
' who remained behind. Let us not add to
so many fatal accidents prepared for us by
fate, the loss of reputation and honor, May
:the government therefore, by infliding an
'exemplary punishment upon those fugitives,
prove to the inhabitants of the country,and
to foreign nations, how much it abhors mean
adions, and that it punishes them severely.
To this effed, I beseech the Supreme Na
-1 tional Council to give orders Without delay,
;and at the proper place, to load with irons
those worthless warriors, and to fend them
under a fafe escort to General Ferferi. But
should they not be at Warsaw, I request the
Supreme Council to fend every where in pur
suit of them, to deliver them up, to cashier
them, and make their names public in the
Gazettes. lam convinced so base a deed
will highly affeft the worthy members of the
Supreme Council, for which reason I have
no doubt but they will readily acquiefee in
these wishes, which I manifeft in the name
of all Polish Officers who are now at this
place."

Extras from a late Charge delivered by Judge
j\ Walton, of the State of Georgia, to a Jury in
that State.
" THE Solicitor General has informed me,
that, among the objeds of criminal enquiry,
is a charge of a parent murdering its bastard
infant. This is a crime so Shocking to na
ture, that the human mind is prompt to con
demn. We should therefore, be cautious.
It is improbable, because it is unnatural, and
the clearest proofs should precede convidion.
Qn this occasion also we should guard our
minds against prejudice.—The crime of bas
tardy is diftind from that of murder ; and
must have no influence on this case. The§
connexion of the sex with man is natural ;
the rites of marriage are artificial ; but the
principles of justice @re eternal, The shame
too, which imperious man has fixed upon the
feeble woman, should weigh in the scale of
V^mercy." :& ~'
