Age of Romance, when the Poet was idol

: has shared the Fate of Chivalry. Still,
however, a Poem, which is dedicated to
the Cultivation of social Humourand the
private Virtues, inculcates on Society a
more pleasing and effectual Lesson of ufe

a Spartan Aphorift. But should this idea

TRIUMPHS of TEMPER.
A POOR old Lady had a few cherry
Trees, which produced in plenty, and aft
forded her at Market a considerable Part
of her living ; but standing contiguous to
the Road, were more frequently visited
by Travellers, than the Lady thought
conducive to her Interest. A Perlon
flopped his Horse under one cf the Trees,
and began a Repast on the Cherries,
when feeing the Proprietor standing in
the Doof, observed to her that the Birds
'had eaten her Cherries ;—" Yes (replied
the Lady) but I think they are Wb—'s
Birds.

TRIUMPHS of TEMPER,
IN SIX CANTOS.
BY WILLIAM HAYLEY, ESQUIRE.
Whom the London Reviewers, when enume
rating the Candidates for the Poet-Laure
atfhip, have pronounced, SECOND TO
NO ONE.
OYou, whose Lives on Land are pajs'd,
And keep from dang'rous Seas Aloof;
Who careless Ifen to the Blast,
Or, beating Rains upon the Roof;
You little heed how Seamen fare —
Condemn'd the angry Storm to bear.
Sometimes, while Breakers vex the Tide,
He takes his Station on the Deck ;
Andnow, lalh'd o'er the Vessel's fide.
He clears away the cumb'ring Wreck :
Yet, while the Billows o'er him Foam,
The Ocean is bis only Home !
Still frejher Blows the Midnight Gale !
" All Hands reef top-Sails," are the cries ;
And, while Clouds the Heavens veil.
Aloft to reef the Sail—he flies !
In Storms jo reading, doom'd to roam,
The Ocean is the Seaman's Home !

PHILADELPHIA, June 20.
In our Paper of Monday, 17th
Instant, we published the Libel,
Plea and Replication, refpeding
che Ship William of Glasgow,
which was captured by the French
Privateer Citizen Genet: After
the Council on both Sides had fin
ifhed their pleadings in the Diftti<fh
Court of the United States for the
Penn/ylvania Diftrid, Judge Pe
ters adjourned the Court until
Yesterday, when he delivered his
Decree, after summing up and re
capitulating the Arguments and
Authorities which had been quoted
through the whole of the hearing.
The Length of the Decree prevents
our inferring it at present. It con
cludes in these Words :—
I do therefore decree, or
der and adjudge, that the Libel io
this Cause be dismissed, and that
the Ship therein mentioned be dis
charged from arrest, the Flea in
this Case being relevant."
While General Ardern com
manded in the South, a Piedmon
refe Chaffeur was taken Prisoner.
The French soldiers wanted co cue

ind diffoaded all but one, and them
raising his voice, said to him—
"You thirst for blocd, well! Sav
ige ! I appoint you executioner of
,he army." These words filled
rhe soldier ,wich such horrour—
that he ran to hide himfelf in the
croud.
APRIL S.—'A knot of villains
who call themselves Sans-culottes,
have lately attempted to trouble
the peace of the city, by (earing
(he cockades from the hats of sev
eral citizens, because they were
made of ribbon, but they were soon
after attacked, beaten and arrested.
There are also a number of travel
ling orators —who yet continue to
infeft the squares and publick
walks, but they are far from pro
ducing the effed they wish. And
these eternal denouncers, whose
throats are hired to bawl, begin to
lose credit. The people are weary
of pretended patriots who do but
augWt the general misery.—We
wirtr peace but not the peace
of slavery—we with for liberty buc
not the liberty of anarchy. Yet a
few days and disorder will cease.—
It is the wish of all France ; one
more effort is necessary, all good
citizens must (peak out ; a longer
apathy would be the greatest of
crimes. Let us unite and cruft) the
anarchies who are blindly aiding
the despots to forge new chains
for liberty.
