TRIUMPHS of TEMPER,
IN SIX CANTOS.
BY WILLIAM HAYLEY, ESQUIRE.
Whom the London Reviewers; wben'enume^
rating tbe Candidates for the Poet-Laure
atfhip, have pronounced, SECOND TO
NO QNE.
Address to the Publick.
The Work which now solicits thel
Patronage of a liberal and refined Com
munity, has received the most flittering
Marks of Approbation, that have been
bestowed on any Work of a similar Na
ture, in the present Ayguftan Age of Lit
erature. Short has been the Period since
it was firft exhibit d to rhe publick Eye;
but so itrong has been the Tide of Taste
in its Favour, that SIX extensive Editions
in England, and one in Philadelphia, (but
without the Plates) have already been dis
persed; and still, its rapidly encreafing
Reputation demands a new Emission from
the Press. • ¥
The Author is warm with the Senti
ment, that ihofe who devote themselves
to Poetry, should raise the Dignity of a
declining Art, by rendering it as benefi
cial to Life and Manners, as the Limits
of Composition and the Charader of mod
ern Times will allow. It is true, that the
Age of Romance, when the Poet was idol
ized for the miraculous Effea of his Song,
has Shared the Fate of Chivalry, Still,
however, a Poem, which is dedicated to
the Cultivation of facial Humourand the^
private Virtues, inculcates on Society al
more pleasing and effedual Lesson of ufel
ful Morality than the grave Austerity of
a Spartan Aphorift. But should this idea
be Considered, as the delusive Dream of
a delirious Imagination, let us never, for;
the Honour of human Nature, let us ne
ver difurbit !,
It has been observed of those favourite
Poems, which blend the serious and the
comic, t^t their principal Charaders are
represented in a satirical point of View.
The Muse of Tassoni was enraged with'
an Italian Nobleman —The French Eccle-'
fiaftics were ridiculed into the Lutrin of
Boi lean —The Dispensary of Garth 1
was pointedly severe on the English Phy- 1
ficians; and that enchanting Poem of
Pope, " The Rape of tbe Lock," has been'
denominated the best Satire extant. But
Hayley, whose Philanthropy was equal
to his Genius, has given an Air of exalted ;
Novelty to this mixed Species of Poetry,
by beroifing a Character, before unknown<
in Song ; and, as Pope had exhaufted <
the Powers of Raillery on female Foibles, ।
our Bard, his Rival and Successor, has t
portrayed, with as glowing a Pencil, the ,
most engaging Features of female Excel- 4
face. In the Execution of a Plan, so/
novel and arduous, he has alternately j
shifted the Scenes of Narration and Alle- c
gory ; has united the sportive Wildness
of Ariosto, with the serious, sublime.
Painting of Dante : and the moral,
Graces of Young, with the tender War-1
blings of the plaintive Dell a Causea. (

Second Proclamation to tbe French Army.
'•'AT '^ r ' me I published my firft
A proclamation, 1 had founded the
„sentiments of all my corps of the army un
- Ider my command, and all of them teemed
penetrated with the miseries which an an
archical tyranny, exercised in the name
of the National Convention, had entailed
. on our country. All of them acknowl
edged unequivocally that we could not live
. without laws, and appeared to agre& in
opinion, that the reestablishment of the
constitution would restore us to peace and
good order, without which it was impossi
ble for us longer to exist.
" I had not as yet reason to expe& that
there could be the least wavering from an'
l opinion so well founded, and which also
' passed unanimous ; and, indeed, who
1 could have conceived that the generals,
themselves would have fought, through
v their ambition, or bv a spirit of infatua
tion, to alter the refoiution of the army ?
Dampierre, Stetenhoff, la Morliere, Roa
fiere, Chancel, Ferrand, have conspired
against their country, against a good
f cause, against theii companions in arms,
and Against me to whom they made re
peated assurances that! they entertained
.the fame principles with ourselves. I
d shall not reproach them with ingratitude
—their confeienees will one day punish
them fufficienrly, but shall confine myfelf
„ to this observation, that neither of them
esteems the mifereants whom they now
serve. The Jacobins will, in their blind
fury, exercise vengeance on them—for
-several of the number are of the persecut
ed fed; and the anarchists will impute
, to them the disasters that cannot fail to
accompany the rash and sanguinary plans
which that assemblage of factious crimi
: nals will oppose to the regular plans of
attack of the combined powers.
r " The revolt arranged by these trait
- ors has for a moment changed the face of
affairs :-Whilft the Commissioners of
the Convention, assembled at Valencien
nes and Lille, have employed measures
worthy of themselves to mislead the army,
and ftifle the pretended conspiracy which
[ we all regarded as a necessary ad of virtue,
since it is the only means of saving France:
They have employed the arms of mifere
ants and cowards.A
, "On the 3d of this month, fix fanatic
al volunteers came to St. Amand to poig
nard me : I protected them from the fury
• of the soldiers, and sent them to keep
company with the four Commissioners—
- they will augment the number of host
- ages. - 0
" On the 4th, three battalions of Na
, tional Volunteers deserted the camp;
- without orders, and threw themselves in
to Valenciennes. I met them on the 9
- road between St. Amand and Conde, at
- the distance of about half a league from
; the latter place. I was then without es
• cort, as a father in the midst of his child
ren (for such was the lender name the
$ whole army had bestowed on me.) Ihad,
- at the most, fifteen or eighteen pedons
b with me on horseback—when the battai,
f ions were so dastardly as to assail me with
a difeharge of mufquetry. They killed
e several of my suite, as well as several hors
• es. . •
" They ent off the road to the camp
towhieh I wished to return ; and I was
e forced to fate myfelt, with a part of the
officers who accompanied me, by crossing
the Scheldt in a boat, to repair to the firft
Imperial post. As it was nbt our inten-
