THE PIERIDES.
SONNET, to a Nightingale.
From Charlotte Smith's elegant Sonnets.
POOR melancholy bird, that all night long
Tell'fl to the mooan th, tale of tender Woe;
From what fad cauje can fab fWeet sorrow
And whence ibis mournful melody of song ?
Thy poet's muffing fancy would translate
What mean the founds that swell thy little
breast,
When fill at dewy eve thou leav'ft thy nest ;
Thus to the lifening night to sing thy fate.
Pale farrow's viaims wert thou once among,
Tbo' now releas'd in woodlands wild to rove ?
Or bafttbou felt from friendsjome cruel wrong ?
° r ^'F tbou martyr of disastrous love ?
Ah ! fongfrehfad ! thatfueb my lot might be.
Tofigh and sing at liberty — like thee !
HILARITY.
London, March 21.
ONE of the Privates in.the weft
" Efftx Militia being placed as
a Guard over the French Prisoners
at Deal, they requested he would
procure, them a Pack of Cards,
which tie did when off his Duty,
but he divested the Pack of the
four Kings. The Frenchmen, dis
covering the Deficiency, said the
Pack was imperfect, having no
Kings. The honest and ready wit
ced Soldier replied, 9 If you can
fight without a King, surely you
can play without one."•
TWO Men riding from Shipton
to Burford, and feeing a Miller
riding foftly before them on his
Sacks, resolved to abuse him ; so
one went on one fide of him, and
t'other on the other fide, faying:
Miller, now tell us, which art thou,
more Knave or Fool ? Truly, fays
he, I do not know which I am
most, but I guess lam between both.
English Articles.
A Taste for Prominence, it should
seem, is the leading Principle of
feminine Fashions, which, if re
°ftri&ed in one Part of Dress, must
be indulged in another. Now,
that Toupees no longer nod tow
ards the Chin, nor game BoJoms
vie with Hips of Wool, another ar
tificial Prominence has been con
trived, where nature alone should
be left to place one. This, how
ever, if not ornamental is defenfae ;
for it is conftruded of Tin, and,
though known by the Name of a
tin Apron, might be called the
maiden's Shield.
The unmarried Ladies certainly
take the lead in the prevailing pro
luberand Diftindion: An Astron
omer to behold them, might justly
infer, the Signs of the Zodiac had
been deranged, and that the Twins
had got too near the Virgin.
AN Irishman, the other Day, bid
an extraordinary Price for an Alar
um Clock, and gave as leafon,
“ That as he loved to rife early,
he now had Nothing to do but
pull a String and he could wake
himfelf." ________

I March 3, 9 o'Clock at Night.
I “WE wrote you this Morning
,lby Express, informing you of the
^Motions of the Enemy, of the Re
|treat of our Troops quartered at
:Aix la-Cbfylk, and of the Sufpen
|fion of the Bombardment of Mae
\flricbt. Since Morning, General
IThouvenot, Chief of the Staff,
[by an Activity and Coolness above
Jail praise, has been able to rally the
[Battalions which were difper fed
jin this Town, and to make them
[return to Herve. The Citizens of
iLiege having teftified a Desire to
"[form a Body for the Defence of
Aour cause, we have delivered them
12000 Mufkets,' and they will
[march to Morrow against the Ene
[my, not as a separate Body, but
„I mixed among the Ranks.
J 66 At this Moment we have fin-
Jifhed a Conference with Miranda.
.[Valence and Thouvenot, and we
[have every reason to believe, that
[after the Measures they have tak
[en, they will be able to preserve
Ithe Country and City of Liege.
L " We have with pleasure learnt
Jfrom General Miranda, that the
[Siege of Maeftricht was railed with
[great Order, and without much
l[lofs, though the Enemy, during
Ithe Blockade, fired 30,000 Can
[non (hot. We loft only 20 Men,
land these fell by their own Im-
prudence." Signed, &c. &c.

" Liege, Marcb q..
66 We are determined not to
quit our Post till the last Extrem

three o'C/ock. The Enemy at
that Time advanced against Hen
ry Chapelle, at the Distance of 2
Leagues from Herve. We repair
ed to Liege, where we (hall remain
till we are able to resume the course
of our Operations.
" We expeft that the Event
which is about to take Place, will
increase our Difficulties, but, how
ever great they may be, they Ihall
not make us yield.
" P. S, We have just .learnt,
that the Enemy have been repuls
ed, and drived into the Woods of
Aix-la Chapelle."
