Not minds of melancholy Brain,
Still Blent, or that still complain.
Can the dear bondage bids :
As well may heav’nly concerts spring
From two old lutes with ne’er a firing,
Or none beside the bass
Nor c4^^foft enhantments hold
Two jpWg fob** of angry mould.
The rugged and the keen :
Samplon’a young foxes might as well
In bonds of cheerful wedlock dwell.
With firebrands ty’d between.
Nor let the cruel fetters bind
A gentle to a lavage mind s
Far love abhor* *b» » „
Loose the fierce tiger from the deer J
For native rage, and native fear
Rue and forbid delight*
Two kindest fouls alone must meet :
Tis friendfoip makes the bondage fwect,
And feeds the»r mutual loves j
Bright Venus pn her rolling throne
la-drawn by geniieft birds alone*
And Cupid, yoke the doves.

A ■■■Republican general be
lieving one of the nu
merous fortrefles conquered
during a campaign^ by the
French, received a meflage
that the commander was^ wil
ling to capitulate. A cartel
of capitulation was propoiM*
and the two commanders, ac
companied by their officers, at
tended, a proposal was made
by the commander of the for
tress to save, the emigrants.
The brave Republican Gene
ral exprefled, in the most ani
mated and eloquent terms, his
regret that he was not master
of the fate of the unfortunate
members of Society, since the
commiflioners of the Conven
tion, with his army, would
never content to any step tig
their, favour. It was then
propoted to him to fuffer two
loaded waggons. Jb! depart
from the town unfearched;
to this he Wkewife objected on
th© above grounds. ' ..

SAY, mighty Love and teach my song
To whom thy (wecteft joyt belong.
And who the happy pairs,
Whose yielding beans and joining hands
Find bleOings twified with their bands.
To (often all their cares.
Not the wild herd of nymphs and (wains.
That thoughtless fly into the chains.
As cuiUm leads the way :
If there be bliss without design,
Ivies and oaks may grow an! twine.
And be as bleis’d as they.
Not sordid fouls of earthly i^uld.
Who drawn by kindred charms of gold.
To dull embraces move:
So two rich mountains of Peru
May rush to wealthy marriage too.
And make a world of love.
Not the mad tribe that hell inspires
With wanton flames; ihofe raging fires
The purer bills destroy:
On Anna’s top let furies wed.
And (heets of lightning dress the bed,
T* improve the burning joy.

Not the dull pairs, whose marble forms
Nene of the melting pa flions warms,

Lags of green wood, that quench the coals,
Are mar y’d just like Stoic fouls,
With Osiers for their bands.

perfectly as if I had been born
in Germany, and if you would
give me a certificate that I was

asked for pen and paper; he
wrote the desired certificate,
and presented it to the emi
grant with these words: “ May
it save your life, and my head
from the guillotine.” The
noble emigrant, taking the
.paper, and tearing it at the

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS,
ENGLAND.
UtK events which have contribut
ed to change the political afped
of Europe, the following deserves
particular attention It proves, in
the molt unequivocal manner, the
। moderation with which the Dutch
I Republicans have concluded the
fidt momen s of a revoiution,when
their indignation of a people lo
long cruelly opprtffed, might nat
urally be supposed io produce the
i most severe, though just ven
geance.
On the 19th of January, the
firft dav of Dutch Liberty, the
Kevolu ionary Committee of Am
sterdam, which had fecrerly exist
ed near a year, delivered to-the
Magistrates of that city the fol
lowing speech—
CITIZENS,
THE Revolutionary Commit
tee, the temporary Representatives
of the People of this city, appear
ip that quality before the Magif
hates of Amfterdam—lt announ
ces to you, that the epocha so long
I desired is arrived when tne Dutth
People will regain those unalien
able rights which they were de
prived of in a manner so tyranni
cal—From this moment the pref
ient government ceaks to exist;
and the Revolutionary Commit
tee, ading with the content a
rmbority of the good people, h;
the diredion of public affa rs t.
til a new Constitution shall be or
ganized by the consent of of the
people.
Every measure of the Commit
tee shall be so conduded as nor to
endanger the public tranquility,
or to molest individuals in their
pedons or property ; the transition
from that oppreflion under which
this viiy has Rf tung groaned to A
ftlte of complete liberty, shall be,
19 a great degree, unperceived
In one word, you shall be convin
ced that the Committee will not,
upon any occasion, depart from
those principles which charader
ize every good citizen, zealous
for the happiness of his conftitu
£nts. In consequences, the Com
mittee addressing you in the name
land by an order signed by the
Commune of Amsterdam, de
clare to you that all your respec
tive fundions, as Magistrates and
Judges, or any others whatever,
are at an end, and from this mo
ment you are considered as private
perfons—Wherefore the Commit
tee declares you incompotent to
exercise the smallest ad of authori
ty, and you must hold yourselves
responsible for any disobedience of
this order of the sovereign people.
The Committee, in the last in
stance, demand of you, that you
difeontinue your fittings, and that
each of you return to your refpec
<jve dwellings without any public
c h^rader: You may be aflured for
your persons and property, that
which
every peaceable citizen has a
tight to exped and receive.
r It is thus we prove to all Eu
rope, in a manner that should
cause those enemies of liberty
(which are susceptible of fent^
ments of modesty; to when
they behold the great difference
between a revolution which despo
tism efFeSed, for the deftrudion
of Dutch liberty, and a revoluifon
which restores liberty to a gener
ous people and which forever ban
ilhes slavery and oppreflion from
the Batavian Ihores ?
