THIS extraordinary roan was born at Bon
chnreh, in the lflc of Wight. He was left an
orphan at a very early age, and apprenticed by
the parish to a tailor, a species of employment
ranked to his enterprising spirit. As he was
one day fitting alone on the ihopboard, calling
hisms towards the fea,he was Ormk with the

DOTH fin present itfelf, lock upon it as it
niuft be, with tears, or foal! be in torments, if
thou committed the lead fin, and died impeni
tent, thy foul is loft, and thy redemption ceafeth
forever: Or, if thou committed this fin, and
dost repent, yet what cloudings of the face of
God ? what breaking of the bores with David ?
what bitter pangs ? what painful throws ? what
shadows of death ? what terrors of hell may
seize upon thee, before thou canst make thy
peace, or fettle thine assurance ? Wilt thou give
way to fin, because it is dele&able ? or because it
is pardonable ? who loves poison because it is
sweet ? or who drinks poison, because he may
have an antidote, feeing it will work to his
trouble,ifit work notout his life ?I have 2 precious
foul, shall I lose it for a lust ? I have a gracious
God, shall I venture him fora fin ? No, I will
always reje9 that for which I am sure to lose
my peace, likely to lose my foul.
The (brill horn blew;* ac that alarum knell,
His guardian angel took a last farewell !
That funeral dirge to darkness hath resigned
The fiery grandeur of a generous mind !—
Poor fetter'd man ! I hear thee wbifp'ring low,
Unhallow'd vows to Guilt, the child of Woe ;
Friendless thy heart; and canst thou harbor there
A. wi(h but death—a passion but despair ?
The plunderer came:—Alas! noglory smiles
For Congo's Chief, on yonder Indian isles;
Forever iall'n ! no lon of Nature now,
With Freedom charter'd on his manly brow I
Faint ! bleeding! bound! he weeps the night
And fay, fnpernal Powers! who deeply scan
Heaven's dark decrees, unfathom'd yet by man,
When shall the world call down to cleanse her
feme,
That embryo spirit, yet without a name—
That friend of Nature, whole avenging hands
Shall burst the Lybian's adamantine bands ?
Who, Aerniy marking on his native foil,
The blood, the tears, the anguish, and the toil,
Shall bid each righteous heart exult to fee
Peace to the save, and vengeance on the free !

Lo ! once in triumph, on his bourdlefc plain,
The quivered Chef of Congo lov'd to reign;
With fires proportion'd to bis native sky,
Strength in his arm, and lightning in his eye;
Secur'd with wild feet his fun -illumin'd zone,
ihe spear, the lion, and the wools his own :
Or led the combat, bold without a plan,
An artlNs savage, but a fearlefs man !
-INTERNAL Nature! when thy giant hand
Hao hcav d the fioods, and fix'd the trembling
land ;
When life sprung startling at tby plastic call,
Endless her forms, and man the lord of ail;
Say, was that lordly form infpir'd by thee,
To wear eternal chains, and bow the knee ?
Was man ordain'd the flavo of man to toil,
Yok'd t+h the brutes, and fetter'd to the foil ;
w/ogh'd hi a tyrant's balance with his gold ?
No ! —Nature lamp'd us in a heav'niy mould !
She bade no wretch his thankless labor urge, ,
Nor, trembling, take the pittance & the scourge;
No homeless Lybian, on the flormy deep,
io call upon his country's name, and weep !

Mr Robert Randall, who died in New-York
on the jth June, has left the principal part of
his estate (which is estimated at upwards of
£3°>°°°) for the establishment of an afylura
for infirm and disabled seamen, to be called
Ite Sailor's Snug Harbour.
General Hope
in an a&ion near Alexandria, being pursued by
a party of French horsemen, and drawing his
sword to defend himfelf, it dropped from his
hand,by a (hot which took off 2of his fngers. At
this critical moment, a grape (hot took horse in
the belly, killed him, and covered the General
all over with his blood and entrails. The French
feeing the General lying on the ground in this
ficuation thought he was dead, and rod< off to
another part of the field; and the General re
covering from his fall, got up, and looking
round, found all life French friends were gone,
he quietly walkedpack to the English camp,
with only the loss of his two fingers.
ing round Bunnofe, and following the ±(lim
pulfe of his fancy, he quitted his work, and ran
down to the beach, when he cast off the painter
from the fitft boat he saw, jumped on board and
plied the oars so well, that he quickly reached
the Admiral's (hip, where he entered as a vol
unteer, turned the boat adrift, and bade adieu
to his native place. Early the next morning
the Admiral fell in with a French squadron,
and in a few hours a warm action commenced,
which was fought on both sides with equal
bravery. During this time Hobson obeyed his
orders with great chcerfulnefs and alacrity, but
after fighting two hours he became impatient,
and inquired of the sailors what was the object
for which they were contending ? On being told
the action muff continue until the white rag at
the enemy's head was struck, he exclaimed,
"Oh, if that's all, I'll fee what I can do.' 'At
this moment the (hips were engaged yard arm
and yard arm, and obfeured in the broke of
the guns. Our young hero took advantage of
this circumstance, determined either to haul
down the enemy's colours, or periffi in the at
tempt. He accordingly mounted the shrouds
unperceived, walked the horse of the main
yard, gained that of the French Admiral, and
afeending with agility to the main-top-matt
headf ruck and carried off the French flag, with
which he returned; and at the moment he regain
ed his own ffiip, the Bririfh tats shouted " Vic
tory," without any other cause than that the en
emy's flag had disappeared. The crew of the
French Ihip being thrown into confusion,in con
sequence of the loss of their colours, ran from
their guns, and while the Admiral and officers,
equally surprised at the event, were endeavour
ing to rally them, the British tars- feiztd the
opportunity, boarded the vessel, and took her.
Hobson, at this jundlure,defeended the shrouds
with the French Admiral's flag wound round
his arm, and displayed it triumphantly to the
failure on the main deck, who received his
prize with the utmost rapture and astonishment.
This heroic action being mentioned on the
quarter-deck. Hobson was ordered to attend
there ; and the officers, far from giving him
credit for his gallantry, gratified their envy by
brow-beating him, and threatening him with
pu.ufhment for bis audacity ; but the Admiral,
on hearing of the exploit, observed a very oppo
site conduct. “My tad, (said be to Hobfon,) I
believeyou to be a brace young man ; from this day I
order you to -walk the quarter deck ; and accord
ing to your future conduct, you shall obtain my
patronage and protection.''Hobson soon
convinced his patron that the countenance shewn
him was not niifplaced. He went rapidly and
fatisfadorily through the fevcral ranks of the
service until he became an Admiral.
