& a meeting of a Priest, Doctor and
LawYs r, and a number of other people—
the following converfaiion took place.
° 7'"' Lawyer, Doctor,and the Priest,
• I All met one day at a large feaft:i
Both rich and poor, and old and young
Assembled in the general throng.
The Priest advanc'd the firtt in rank,
Appear'd to be exceeding crank,
And gravely tothe people said,
I love jour fouls, but not jour bread ;
I only must a living have.
And that it all that I do crave.
Believe my Dodcine and my Notes,
Or you are all a pack of Goaty ,
Believe my words, and all st well,
'Twill faveyou from the pit call'd HELL.
He then fat down upon his feat,
When he had blam'd thefauce and meat.
The Doctor then made this reply :
Belie ue me friend, I will not lie ;
I give you health and length of days,
And baffle death ten thousand ways ;
And 'tis my bolufts and bowls;
Tuat save your lives if net your fouls.
We make the old grim Tyrant flee,
When be our beetling balsamsfee.
We give you case, we give you rest,
M, pills of Opium ca< m your breaf.
What good would health and riches do.
If you bard pain must undergo :
And this yo&Lev'ry day may fee,
The Priest don't prove h.s word like $;.:,
He crams Religion down yourthreats,
And bids you swallow, or be Goats.
He tells you his perfuifon's bed ;
He flatters feme, and frights the rest.
1 do not deal in juch away,
But ride and fudy night and day,
To give you health, and quiet case,
And for it take but mod rate fees.
Tee Lawyer fat exceeding still,
Nor ftirr'd his head, nor mov'd hi# quill ;
For there no money he did fee,
To flatter him to make a plea.
But he at length began and said,
The, tell you they don't want your bread;
But 'tis your fouls, and 'tis jour health,
And not your money or jour wealth.
Alt bo' they makeyau this believe—
My friends beware, they you deceive.
Had you no money in your purse,
Nor bread to /pare, which is fill worse:
fl he Doctor'd bid you all farewell,
Ibe Priefl would let you go to NELL ;
_ _Nor rive %ra,ray'rs. nor give you bowls
To save your bodies, or year fouls.
I am ihe men, believe in me,.
I plead your cause, and fit you free.

BOSTON, April 3 .
^liter cditny,.
By Capt. Williams,of the fehoo
ncr Fanny, which arrived on
Wednelday lait, in 14 days
from Guadaloupe, we receiv
ed the following IntereJling
Proclamations, issued by the
Commiflioncrs at that bland.
DECLARATION
Os the Commissioners delegated by the
National Convention of France, to the
Windward Islands,
'TO ALL THE NEUTRAL NATIONSTRA
DING WITH SAID ISLANDS.
EIGHT hundred Republicans, and two
French frigates have conquered the
Bland of Guadeloupe; eight thousand
men, chosen troops,fix line of battle (hips,
and twelve frigates, must yield to that cou
rage, virtue and love of ones country thatl
animate a Republican breast.
With so inconsiderable forces, but en
tirely devoted to the triumph of liberty
and equality, we have overcome all obfta
clet,and finally drove from this fertile, and
mow free country, the remainder of the
English pilfering horde.
The vile facellites of GEORGE, those
infamous promoted, and supporters of all
kinds of robbery,afhamed of their defeats,
and unable to refill a generous enemy, en
deavor to fatisfy their infatiate avidity, by
plundering, under frivolous pretexts, neu
tral vessels.
Nay: They exhaust all the resources of
graft and perfidy,in order to rob them with
impunity, and they are going on in the
footfteps of Charles Gordon, Commander
at St. Lucia. John Vaughan, of glorious
memory in St. Enftatius, and Benjamin
QJI 11
c!Bw# pretend to colour this their plan,
der, by an insignificant proclamation,
which declares the Bland of Guadaleupe
in a state of blockade ; as if it was poffi.
ble to block up such an extensive Coast !
What moment do they choose, for is
suing such an extravagant proclamation ?
Have not our Hoops of war, and other ar
med vessels, within.thefe few months, ta
ken, funk, or burnt, eighty eight of their
veffeli ? (which may easily be proved, by
the sentences rendered in the court of com
merce, of this Bland, and the registers,
and other papers belonging to said vessels.)
Are we not ready to attack their own
colonies, and there convince them of the
impassibility of such a blockade.
But rob they mast ! That is the great
principle of the English military service.
in such a corrupted Government, no pre
fer. Antean be obtained, but for money;
and money must be had, no matter by
what means : If they cannot get it from
their enemies, they are base enough to
turn piCTds, and ransack neutral vessels,
who are not able to defend themfeives.
From this (ketch of the sordid inten
tions of the English, the dignity and inde
pendence of neutral powers requires, that
they Ihould be on their guard, and provide
against the perfidious vexations, which this
pretended blockade prepares to their trade.
We do therefore on our .fide, formally
declare, that we shall never deviate from
the principles of equity and, benevolence,
which have directed their operations, dur
ing aad after th^ taking of this Inland:
And that all neutral vessels (hall be here
well received, and protested, as far as it
lies in our power ; we allure them, that
the English rhodomontades infpiie us only
with pe<fe& contempt, and-that our ene
mies thall foen have rcafon to repent of
their rafanefs and inference.
This our prefcntl&claration, (hall be
officially tranfmittud to the refpedive
Governments of the Blands of St. Barthol
omews, St. Croix, and St. Thomas, and
further to the Congress, and the Legisla
tures of the different States in America,
through the means of the French Minister
in Philadelphia.
