FROM THE
PHCENIX COMPANY OF LONDON
FOR INSURING
HOUSES, BUILDINGS, STORES, SHIPS IN HARBOUR, GOODS,
WARES, AND MERCHANDISE,
FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
INSURANCE from low or damage by FIRE hath been found a measure of great im -
portance to the happiness of families, and has given additional security to commercial
Ci ansactlons.—The distinguished approbation with which the publit.k throughout Great-
Brit iin received the improved system of this office, occasioned freqnent application for
the insurance of property in the principal cities and towns in Europe and America, and
induced the Company many years since to extend thteir plan to the Western Continent.
The Phoenix Company can refer to the unerring test of experience to ascertain their
character; and. gratified by the unbounded confidence they have obtained upon the
Continent of America, and for the purpose of facilitating to the inhabitants|the means of
effecting insurance on their property, the Directors have fairly determined to extend
ths sum which they have been accustomed to insure in any single risk, and have ar-
Bnnged rates of premium npon the various descriptions of property, which, they trust,
will be found moderate, just, and equitable.—The promptitude with which this office
has adjusted the claims of sufferers, and the solidity of its funds, are so well known, that
it is unnecessary to offer more on the subject, than to refer those who desire information,
to the merchants of Loudon with whom they corresjxmd.
• • In this Office no insured person is liable to any call to make good the losses of
ethers; but in case of fire, the sufferer will be fully indemnified by the Company.—The
Company also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.

To be LET,
Thy guardian power display'd his form ;
On the pole’s top be stood, with watchful eye.
But, hurl’d from hia aerial height
With crush that rent the vault of night,
Fearful, be fled, and sought his kindred sky.
“ Mown, hapless Caledonia mourn
hapless Endor! mourn
The awfiil omens of thy swift decay!
Thy honoured staff, which proudly rose
The terrour of invading foes,
Where the flag flaunted in the glare of day,
Lo! from its lofty station torn,
With shattered trunk, and tempest-borne,
Its fragments block tlie once protected way,
Was there no guardian sprite.
No genius, dear to fame and freedom nigh !
Yes, hapless city, midst the storm ■
Loud was the tempest’s roarl
O awful was that hour, when, urg'd amain,
In midnight roll’d the whirlwind came—
Peal follow'd peal; and vivid flame
Wrapp'd the tall shaft, that wav'd with proud
disdain
Full long the whelming strife it bore,
RENOWNED CITY OF ENDOR,
OH A LATH AND VERY SROFHBT ICK 0
!
Proud city, thou shalt full!
The weeds of woe on all thy glories wait
Symbols and omens dire portend
Thy sad decline, thy rapid end :
Ruin shall shroud thy charms and gorgeous
state.
Thy nodding spires, towers, temples, all
Proclaim the inevitable call
That summons thee to the dark fate.
Thus, as old legends tell, *> 51

Till mom proclaim’d the struggle o'er,
And the riven victim press'd the mournful
Tntrigux more than the arm* of
France has subjugated the European Con
tinent. The extravagant opinion* enter
tained of the irresistible colossal power of
the French Emperour, display themselves
in all the important measures of our gov
ernment. His fancied invincibility has
struck such terrour to the heart* of our
Chief Magistrate and his Minister*,-that
thev have been rendered unfit to meet the
••xigencies of the times. Instead of regu
lating their conduct by the great and ob
vious interests of the nation, they arc gov
erned entirely by foreign politicks, and
are solely influenced by Bonaparte's cam
paigns on the continent. Without striking
nut and adapting any great and salutary
-.vstem of their own, their councils are in
a state of perpetual oscillation, and '.hey
have no fixed plan, unless forsooth h>«till
'.les with England be their aim, which
they have not the courage to commence
nor the means of maintaining with a pros
pect of honour 4||l success.—No efforts
fflre pretermitted to provoke England to a
4eclaration of war, nor are the most abject
<nd degrading compliances neglected, to
purchase the forbearance and compassion
of Franc*. But while an earnest wish i*
betrayed, in all their actions, to bring
about an alliance with France, and an
open rupture with England, they want the
firmness’, perseverance, and energy to call
forth the resources of the nation, to give
effect to their plans. Popularity has more
attractive charms in their estimation, than
all the substantial and invaluable blessings
which weuM flow from a wise and just sys
tem of policy .—But in their eyes i;o policy
is either wise or honourable which ha* not
for It* object the conciliation of France and
the violent Irritation of her adversary.
“ It has long been our opinion that the
power of the French tyrant is declining in
Eui pe. So far from being augmented by
hi* achievements on the Danube, It re

CURRENCE.
TO THE
measure of his overflowing resentment
against a power,whose timely interpositfon
baffled all his operation against Spaln.*-
Hia vengeance, roused and augmented Igr
the unexpected failure of his base design*
upon Spain, was not of that unsettled and
indistinct character to b«. appeasud by x
trifling Requisition of territory which future
events will prove his inability to retain,
and which his present military farce la in
sufficient to keep in quiet subjection while
his operations bin carried on against Spain.
So far from blotting Austi it from the map*
that pewfi single-handed, has so cripple*
ed and ■ disabled him, that he has been
forced to relinquish for an unusual and ,
portentous period, his plant of aggrandize- ’
ment. True he has worsted hia enemy,
he hns forced upon him a dishonourable
treaty, taken from her a portion of her ter
ritory, but her armies remain unconquer
ed, she still possesses all the sinews of
war, the Austrian soldiery coatiuyne undis
mayed, and from the most at|fhentick afo
counts are Individually eager Kerens w the
contest. This is far from anmljhftion. U
* Neither the pride nor ambition of th#
* generous conquereur' have been grutified
by r the issue nf th* contest. Hr Was' not
able to follow up his successes and be has
barn thrown back many yean in hit
scheme of universal dominion. The ac
counts mlit to be relied upon, admit a losa .
the part of France, in the tw<> great
battles of the Danube, of at least 99,000 of
1 his groups. How is this sudden
and immense gap of his army to be sup
plied ? If he was not materially weaken
ed by his immense loss, why was not Aus
tria completely subjugated, and why haa
he not renewed the war of Spain with
that spirit, enterprise and confidence with
which it was commenced I Wo were told
not long since that, a respite of six weeks
had been granted to Spain, that at the e»-
pirotkm of that period he would pour his
legions into S|>ain, and she would fall with
out a blow ; tlut a single proclamation,
a la Americaine, would reduce her to quiet
submission. These six weeks have long
since expired, and Spain is yet free and
daily becoming more able to resist. Her
troops have acquired fresh strength and
spirit, and their patriotick enthusiasm has
been quickened by the noble example aet
them by Austria.
" Let us suppose that the Emperouv h
now marching in full force against Spain,
and Is sufficiently string if uninterrupted
tocatryhis point. Can he leave behind
him a sufficient force to keep Austria at
bay, and secure due submission to the
states of Germany ? Do there not exitt
stronger inducements than Aus
tria to renew the war ? Comjwalively,
she ha* as yet suffered nothing. She well
knows what ia in reserve for her, after
Spain shall be conquered. Let but the
Emperour be again fairly engaged with
Spain, and he will find Austria in his rear,
once more arrayed in all her force against
him. Such an occurrence would be the
signal for a genera! revolt in Germany,
and more business would be carved ont for
him, than his present strength and re-./
sources would qualify him to despatch with
his celerity. Whatever may
be the cowardly apprehension of some df
our wise politicians in this country, there
still exists on the continent of Europe
alone, the’ means to thwart the tyrant In
hi* ambitious schemes. The most intelli
gent men who have lately visited Europe,
are well persuaded from the
they have collected, that Napoleon's pow
er is far less formidable at the present pe
riod, than it was before hl* boasted victo
ries in Austria, and in Spain. They state,
and it require* no excessive blindness in .
fate to believe it, that he ha* not and can
not recover from his Immense losses in
those countries. At the moat reduced
computation 300,000 men have been sacri
ficed in the last twely* months. Hi* con
scripts cannot supply this immense defi
ciency. Franc* I* already nearly drained
