The Duke of York's Lamentation.
TUNE-THE TEMPEST.
CEASE ye French and Dutchmen, cease now,
Give me time to re embark;
In pity, ah ! do not more tease now.
I'll be off if you'll but hark -
My army to you I'll surrender,
Artillery, baggage, without fail;
N But to my pcrfon be ye tender,
Anddet me to my country fail.
On my knees I'll beg your favour,
And confefs to you my fault ;
But be kind in your behaviour, 1
For mercy lake command a halt.
'Twas PITT alone was at the bottom ;
'Tis true lie duped us—as for me,
Would to God that I had fade him,
_ Anti Sent him to eternity. ^'
Brave General Brune feeing York in tears, fir,
lAnd .feeling for Jiis wretched plight,
Cries out, indeed 1 do much fear, fir,
. That you are more than half aright :
And if you promise to fend over,
Sweet Billy Pitt, I'll let you go :
But never venture again the rover,
For to me your fafety you do owe.
Abercrombie next came forward,
Grief had almost chok'd his breath :
Brune, you know I'm not a coward.
And yet lam afraid of death. ,
Our Anglo-Ruffians can't Hand battle,
With French and Dutch, 1 must allow,
No more than just so many cattle—
To you my fafety let me owe.
Spike up the Park guns now for ever,
Britannia mourn my wretched fate ;
Oh ! that a ball had pierc'd ray liver,
Or foot me through my braihlefs pate;
Then in the grave would lie together,
Disgrace, and York of noble blood ;
'Tis thus Britannia's laurels wither,
Great Brune has plump'd me in the mud.

By the fair Trader of New-Providence,
we have received Bahama Gazettes to the 4th
nit.—An arrival there from Glasgow had
brought foreign news to the 7th Dec. only
• —of course nothing new. The only arti

contained in three proclamations from Gen
eral Bowles, the Indian chief. The firft of
thefe, relative to the agents appointed under
the treaty between the United States and
Spain, .to draw the boundary line, has al
ready appeared in the Mercantile Advertif

ligence, but as official advertifements.]

WHEREAS some evil minded person
or persons did on Friday evening last
break off the tops and thereby ruined a num
ber of beautiful yoyng growing trees, that
were planted in the upper ena of Broad
ftreet, in this town the year past, at consi
derable expence, and would have been a
great ornament and benefit to the public, if
they were not injured by the hands of vio
lence—And as many of the inhabitants of
Portsmouth intend importing such trees
from Philadelphia and planting them in the
