OONSof Chiefs renown'd in story,
.Ye whose Jame is heard afar,
tic who rush'd to death or glory,
Welcome from the toils of war.
When for con^ueft late assembling,
Madly arm'd the frantic Gaul,
Europe, for her empire trembling,
Doubted where the Borm might fall.
Britain, from her sea-girt Ration,
Guarded by her native oak,
Heard the threat with indignation,
Well prepar'd to meet the shock.
But the foe her thunder fearing,
Pled her navel arm before,
And far distant widely fleering,
Seiz'd the fam'd Egyptian fhorc.
There in vain her boasted legions
Vow'd to keep the wide domain,
Eager for the torrid regions,
See Britannia plows the main.
Ye whose Siresof old oppofing,<
Check'd the haughty Roman band,
In the shock of battle clofir.g,
Erec'd the Caledonian land.
You our guardian genius naming,
Tothe toils of battle bred,
Chefe to hurl her vengeance Earning,
On the foes' devoted head.
Methinks, old Oflian from his Ration.
On the Ikirts cf yonder cloud,
Eyes his race with exultation
—Hark ! the Hero speaks aloud—
" Bon of Chiefs renown'd in Rory.

DIED]— In England, EMILY SPENCER,
^1 36 —who reigned the Venus of England.
She was of low origin, and was seduced almeft
from infancy. She early became mistress of a
person of high rank, who gave her a splendid
establishment. At this time, and for years after
wards, the beauty of her face was confessedly
unparalleled ; and she was prevailed upon at
different times to fit to the late English Appel
les (Sir Joshua) when he was defircus of deline
ating on canvas an idea of a most beautiful an
gel. Alter paffug through those feencs of dif
foation and folly which - generally mark the
progress of women in her unhappy situation, and
running the gauntlet of prostitution, the became
attached to a poor person, and had two chil
dren.—Her reverse of fortune preyed upon her
mind ; she had recourse to dram-drinking, by
which (he soon became the feeble representative
of a beautiful ruin ; and died in childbed a short
time since, in the 36th year of her age. Thus,
and thus early, terminated the life of a person
who for several years had so much the com
mand of personal splendor, and the possession of
perfcnal beauty, asto be the envy of all those
female fashionables and frequenters of public
places, whom education: had not taught to know,
nor sentiment to feel, that an hour of virtuous
domestic felicity is worth more than an age of
levity and folly :—
Let coxcombs fatter, and let fools adore,
Here learn tb: lefcn to be vein no more.

M EDLEY —No. 231.
On the Encrcafng Population of the Uni
. ted States.
, The rapid encreafe of this country, as well
so numbers as in wealth and strength, very af
ionifning, and has rarely had a parallel since
men began to multiply upon the earth. The
population of the Hebrews in the land of Egypt
has been for mere than three thousand years.a
renftant theme of admiration. Within the
compass of four centuries, they multiplied from
Seventy five fouls to fixhundred thousand grown
men : and if we compute the women and chil
dren to be in proportion to the men, ns five to
ene, their whole number that left Egypt was
three millions and fix hundred thousand.
The iucreafe of population in this country
has been still greater thantfat of the Hebrews
io Egypt. In left than two centuries, and from
very fmail beginnings, we have grown re the
vaR number of between five and fix millions.
The las: ten years have increased our numbers
twelve .hundred thousand. According tc -bis
ratio, that is computing four millions (which
was nearly the number of the inhabitants of
this country, ten years ago,), to produce an in
crease of twelve hundred thousand, in ten years,
the whole number of the inhabitants of the U
niu! States, in half a century, (f my .haffy
computation is corrc&) will amount to but. lit
tle short of twenty millions t and, at the clofa
of the prefect century,it will amount to between
seventy and eighty millions.
: Indeed it is not expedited that the increase of
population in this country will be as rapid, fc?
^hundred or fifty years to come, as it has been
in the last ten years; but unless some dreadful
cajamuy fliould bcfal it, our nation within a cen
tury and even within half a century will proba
bly be exceeded only by a very few among the
nations of the world. [Balance.

r INFLEXIBLE JURORS.
On Wednesday fe'night, at the Seftons
of Kdlarney, the Jury withdrew to deliberate
concerning their verdid, they remained confin
ed till the following Sunday, without being a
blc to come to any agreement. By this time
two ofthe Jury were so enfeebled, from confine
ment and fitting, that they were not ableto en
dure theit fufferings any longer, and pa an affi
davit being made feting the peril of their situ
ation, and their inability to hold out, two Jurors
were withdrawn by content of the parties, and
no verdia was returned. So much pertinacity
in principle has not, perhaps, ever occurred on
any similar occasion. Lon pap.
Os all poverty,that of the mini is the most
deplorable.
