1 now with impatience am waiting at York,
Hoping soon you'l have leisure to set me at work.
Come shortly dear Belzee, and pray do not dum
ber,
For 1 lately have printed my very last number,
And in it—O matchiefs! all candor defying,
With my usual assurance, and pertness at lying,
To please you dear friend ; this assertion I made,
That 1 all thistime had been Adams' aid I .
But Adams, I told them, began to grow skittish,
A|d refus'd to surrender these states to the British,
So 1 for this reason, (which could not be Wronger)
Determin'd at once to assist him no longer.
Say Belzee, what think you—this cannot demean
• US,
Tho' the whole was my own— l'll divide it be
tweenus —„
As people will judge tn assertion so ci vil,
Must come from great Peter, or else from the
Devil.
And now my dear master, for once hear my
pray'r.
Thy promise fulfil, and make Peter thy care ;
ln, York, pray assist me to kick up a riot,
(For you know I'm unhappy when people are
Save ml'neck If you can ; but what dear, much

PfrTEß' s -pETITION.'"
TO the Gulph of Tartarus, where shortly I hope,
Far my service on earth, to be great as a Pope ;
Wittihope, justly founded, for such ablest meet
ing,„
1 fend my petition to Beelzebub greeting :
Hail ! potent director, of Demons below, —
Pray come to my aid, or I've (truck my lalt blow;
Oue moment's delay, may destroy all our glories,
for hell is to pay npon earth with the tories.
^u need apt be told, how with pleasure quite
Y frantic,
To escape from a halter, I crofs'd the Atlantic ;
Nor need I, rehearse, how bv you kindly aided,
the rightfroi the people, I mortly invaded,
How bleft were my days ! how enchanting my
dreams!-
And government too, teem'd to relish my schemes.
1 scribbled, I bustled, I cring'd and I bow'd,
And was highly carefs'd by the torifi'd croud.
My dearest friend Belzee, 1 then liv'd in clover—
But, alas ! I'm afraid we're nearly done over !
If you, my dear Mentor, this once can relieve me,
I'll set out afrefh, and there's nothing (hall grieve
me :
Your voyage to Great Britrin, you well may re
member—
I think it took place on the firft of September,
When you, from friend Billy, had such a loud
call, and
Concerted the plan of the taking of Holland ;
'Twas then in your absence my sorrows began,
And with forcow I found I must give up my plan.
Your abfe^ce, a moment, 1 found upon trying,
Effeoti^ly leffen'd my talent for lying :
For, what think you, Belzee, thy darling Gazette,
Which so long the applause of the tories had met,
Began to lose ground ; and its depreciation,
P,ov'd a presage too true of its sudden damnation.
1 strove like a He&or, but found it in vain ;
I wrote to Bill Pitt but no answer could gain,
(Tho' probably Billy was busy at work,
Defeating the French with the brave Duke of York)
At length I determin'd to pull the last firing,
So stuck up my quills, and huzza'd for the king.
1 soon found a fubjeft fufficiently mean,
And set up my pipes to the tune of M'Kean ;
But some bow or other, 1 found very soon,
My pipes of perdition were set to a tune,
Which (tho' not a pupil of thine could play neater)
If follow'd, would soon cost the neck of poor
Peter,
Dlfcouraged, I then (hould have yielded to fate,
If you had not come and replenifh'd my pate,
Apd given directions to kick up a brush
with a noted physician nam'd Benjamin Rush ;
But how (hall we ever make up the defeat—
I suppose you have heard of my sudden retreat:
'Gainft Rush and the Demons I could not prevail,
For they pluck'd every quill from my head to my
ent,
Assist Billy Pitt, your forever obedient ;
Inspire him with plans to keep peace from the
nation ;.
And to comfort the poor with new bills of taxa
tion ,
May the king, by oppression, his treasures enhance,
To enable him awhile to hold out against France ;
That thy Sceptre, and his, earth and heaven may
sway
Thy humble petitioner ever shall pray.

Till they meet their deserts in the regions of hell,

lOne Hundred Dollars reward.
WHEREAS some evil minded person
or persons did on Friday evening last
break off the tops and thereby ruined a num
ber of beautiful young growing trees, tty
were planted in the upper end of Broad

derable expence, and would have been a
great ornament and benefit to the public, if
they were not injured by the hands of vio

Portsmouth intend importing such trees
from Philadelphia and planting them in the
Greets and public walks in this town, if they
are to be destroyed by th, nefarious hands of
every villain palling by, without punishment,
the profpea must be at an end, if such prac
