Yet tuft for me, sho' ALL thy absence mourn
The Muse presumes to aft the wish'd return ;

- And all the fond'pray'rtrembles in her lay.
Yet numerous friends thy converse want,
O soon the easy blessing grant;
>Soon mid' th' enraptur'd group appear,
And Beauty's Genii guard thee here !
Pleas'd fee thee in the fochii ring,
(Cheer'd by thy presence) bloom like Spring,
Wisdom and virtue too will guard
The object of their cares ;
Still hover round their lovely ward,
- Still proudly call thee theirs.
In Iranlports bear their darling child dispense

The hamlet mafic,fateyou left us", mute,
The high ton'd viol, and, the fofterflute ;
Will wildly wake to maniac joy and love.
And almost tune in comfy with the grove ;
The vill will smile injtfdear tenant bleft,
More balmy breathe the breezes of the weft,
Flora \nore pkafing gild" her fail rite plains,
f And H^mpfeire Muses fog in merrier frains.
Summer is puji, & now brown autumn's come,
By poet's call'd the Sabbath of the year ;

A fun more temperate, and a ^,.as clear.

To melt the heart and humanize the mind ;

FOR THE MIRROUR.
to JULIA in B # ***n.
[^^,
;d HE meek eyed morn, with deivy beauties
Difpells the iotnbre jhadows of the night ;
While fa, the pale flare fade away,
The gay hours ujhtr in the da, ;
The merry gro-ver, the open plains.
Ring with the plum, minftrels' strains :
While the pure gale with blessed coolness brings
Health and ambrosial fragrance on its wings.
But few, in crowded towns confin'd,
; E'erfee the gold ,u,'d dawn;
None there can drink the flow'r-Jkim'd wind,
A, ending from the lawn.
No fongfers in the groove, there pour the la,
(For groves the, have not) at the bluJh of day.
True, feme lone bird, doom'd to its cage,
Ma, there bewail its fate ;
And mourn, not sing, the Depot's rage,
That keeps it from its mate.
-No tyrants here, hut joyous Freedom reigns ;
Nor will we keep the feather'd race in chains.
Ab ! would theNYMPHfo lov'd,fo bleft,
Attend the Mutes' call !
Tho'weak they fag, their warm request,
The warm regur, of all-
Again this village and these plains adorn,
And make it always — Harmony and Morn !
Julia, the toWn wherein you dwell,
Igrant has mrn, charms ;
/kno w its fam'd importance well,
For Science, Wealth, and Arms —
There from all climes her,ores rich Commerce
brings, {"W;
There bloom the arts, and there PhileniA
There now the trembling pendants court.
Now flap the fauc, gales ;
And there the crew,juft moor'd in port,
BriJk furl the bellying fails :—
Near by free Gallia'sweeping thunder rides,
Rock'd in the cradle of the rolling tides.
But, different f cents the Muse would tell.
Could fee your audience win;
The buttling throng—the rabble yell, ,
And all the market din :.
Still forc'd tho',ck to breathe unwholjome air,
And hear the rattling of the truckman's car.
Yet here no trifling beauties rife,
Though we've nor port nor fail :
Here towers the mountain to the ikies,
Here blofforcs hill and vale.
Ga, o'er-the glade the nibblingfnowflocks tread,
Thefiurd, herds, wind la%, round the mead:
-In morn we walk ; in midday hours,
Their powerful warmth to shun,
We seek where thro" resounding bow'rs
The flower bank'd rivulets run—
Their buz the bees, their brooks theNaiadspour,
Now make 'em prattle, row in cascades roar.
Oft distant from the foetal vill,
I've flumber'd by these streams,
(The bees, the birds, the breeze,the rill,
Havelufl'd me into dreams :)
THE PIERIDES.
England.
LONDON, July 26,—A messen
ger arrived last night from the Earl
of Yarmouth, who is at the head
quarters of the King of Prussia, at
Marienborn. The operations of
<he siege of Mentz were pushed on
with vigour. Hit Prussian M^jef
ty teems eager to make up for the
time that has been loft, and, by
his personal example, gives the
most animating incentives to cour
age and exertion. His Majesty
daily vifitsthe trenches in perlon.
Os all the corquefts made by
the French at the ciofe of the last
campaign, Mentz alone has been
seriously ufeful to them. Before
this place the King of Prussia, end
an army of, perhaps fifty thaufand
men, have been occupied for four
months, in which time all the for
rrtffefs, on the &stern Frontier of
France, might otherwise have been
carried. It will now doubtless be
taken in a few days ; but the cam
paign is too far advanced to expert
'hat any impression can be made
by the Pruffin army upon the
French frontier itfelf.
The French, at Valenciennes,
made a sally in the night, not long
since towards Antairi § »here they
found about 30 Hanoverians nap
ping ; they did not give them
time to awake, for they killed eve
ry man of them, and took off a
field piece.
A squadron charged with some
important mission, is laid to have
failed from Brest. - Its departure
was retarded for some days on ac
Net her lands.
GERMERSHEIM (near Landau)
Jul, 27.-=-On the 22d, at fix in
the morning, the enemy made an
attack upon our right wing. Our
advanced posts fell back behind
the great abbatis, and abandoned
Snicgelbruck as well as Belheim.
The French corps was so strong,
that it was impossible to dislodge
them that day.
A BRICKLAYER working on
the top of a chimney, made a mis
step, and tumbled down the chim
ney from top to bottom : O 1 (ays
a ftanderby, 1 like such a fellow
mightily ; for he is a man that goes
through bis work.
A GENTLEMAN being on horse
back, his servant, who was on foot,
in Broking the horse's buttocks,
received altick : He then aimed a
stone at the horse, and hit his mas
ter on the back, which made him
turn about and ask his man what
was the matter ? Your horse, fir,
(fays he, holding one of his legs)
las lamed me.. Ay, said his mas
ter, he is very unruly, for he has
ticked me on the back, and 'tis
well he miffed my head.
Oft let me o'er the leaf) ruins,ray,
Left painful there, the 'poignant tbo't' resume.
Read a ju, moral in each naked spray,
And mingle mental with the woodland gloom.
No aukward comforter there intervene.
But let Misfortune drop his tear unjeen.
Where runs the muse ? —fret Julia you have
known,
And heal'd such woes as human aid can heal !
This when,ou come the thankful poor will own,
And Jhow that warmth of gratitude they feel.
And e'en their infants jcrabble cro, the room,
And laughing lijp," 0 mama, Julia's come."

" The Ruffians, indeed, had the
power in their hands to do what

But Count Sievers, disregarding
this admonition, found means to
penetrate through the Nuncios, in
spite of their opposition, and to
whifpera few words to his Majesty.
The King answered in a loud
voice ;
TURIN,' July 18.— According
oa true statement of our loss on

Minister, insisted that the King,

The town is not so much dam

p ffage thro' the streets is neither
flopped by heaps of ruins or re

place but want of medicine and
courage. They were Bill provided
with provisions for three months,
and had plenty of ammunition.
The French garrison of Mentz
