FROM THE ENQUIRER.
THE RUIN OF ROBERT EMMETT!
TUNID — Coolin.
THE night was far spent, and the de^-winged Freeze
Flung its gems on the blossoms, its sighs o'er the trees;
The moon's wac'ry beam fainter gleam'd on the flood,
When Ellen, Tweet Ellen ! ,et fought the wild wood.
Her bosom was base, and her white-swelling breast
Throbb'd with anguish by deep seated sorrows oppreft;
She thought on the hours when with Robert she Gray'd,
When the wild-rose she pluck'd, or repos'd in its Bade.
When with blushes of sweetest confufion o'erfpread,
Whilst her true lover's bosom foft pillow'd her head :
She own'd the foft flame that was fanh'd by her sigh.
Drank the bloom of her cheek and the beam of her eye.
But Robert the darling of Erin is gone,
The wheel of oppression has crufh'd her brave son ;
And the heart-broken Ellen droops craz'd and forlorn !
Sweet filly ; by furrow's stern ploughfhare uptorn!
Thro' the wild wood at midnight on Robert she calls,
Nor the chill dewy Mail, nor the thunder appals;
And (hatches of old songs so tenderly lings,
As though zephyrs had breach'd on the harps gelden,ftrings.
O thou! who the bolt of its rage can'll disarm,
Can Gill the wild wave and the raving blast charm;
Let the balm of thy mercies Ellen's sorrows beguile,
And blast the oppreffora of Erin's green ide!

Marcus Aurelius used to fay, he would not part with
the little learning he had acquired for all the gold in the
world; and that he had more glory from what he had
read and written, than from all the victories he had won,
and all the realms he had conquered.
D'Arezzo, a celebrated lawyer in the fifteenth century,
purloined, with the assistance of his servants, several pieces
of meat from a butcher's (hop. Two of his scholars, of
doubtful character were put in prison far the theft. D'A
rezzo in vain accused himfelf: it was thought he didfo
to refeue the youngwnen. When the affair was blown
over, and the ftudent&fet at liberty by paying a certain fam,
JVArezzo brought undoubted proofs that he had been the
thief. On being asked why he committed an action io
unlike himfelf, and of which no one would have fufpe&ed

The inhabitants of the town of Ports
mouth, are requested to notice, and
observe the following Regulations,
wade and published agreably to law ;
for the preservation of health in the
town.
ALL persons having vaults overflowing, or
whose contents are so near the furface of
the earth as to be a nuisance, or having ftagnaled
waters in cellars, dung in heaps, or filth in or a
bout there yards, barns or houses, are to have fetch
nuisances removed immediately, before the warm
weather (hall commence. It is the wifli of the
health Committee, to lave trouble to Inch persons,
and to themlelves, but the cleaolintfs and health
of the Town must be provided for, and if such
•nuisances are not removed within thirty days from
this day, they will be removed as the Law directs.
And it is rrquefted, that information be given of
filth left in any part of the town, such information
will be thankfully received, and the way it came
will be concealed.
All (inks running on the furfaceof the ground
in the streets are to be funk below.
No dead an : mal, offenfive lubftance, or filth of
any kind is to be left in any streets, lanes, alleys,
or on any wharf or dock, and every person offend
ing in this particular must exped to be prosecut
ed and fined.
And in regard to Quarantine —
The Health Committee have found that the
health of the inhabitants has been greatly endan
gered, and the town has buffered much in time
past, from deceit pradifed, and Life hnfwers riven
by vessels arriving at the Port, when hailed from
the Fort. It was therefore thought proper and ne
cessary in the year 1803, when Quarantine com
menced, that all vessels from the Welt-India
Islands, the Dutch and Spanish main, from the
Streights of Gibraltar, and from ports within
them, or from any port or place where any corita
giotis distempers (hould in fad be prevalent, (liquid
—on their arrival at this port, immediately come to
anchor for infpedion ; that the lives and health
of the citizens might not be endangered by infec.
tion brought to town. The commanding officer
at Fort Conflict * was to bring all such vessels
to an anchor, and hold a red flag as a signal for the
Health Committee to repair on board, or fend
some suitable person or perlons on board, for the
purpose of iofpe&ion and examination. —These
regulations were made and carried into execution ;
careful examination took place on the part of the
Health Officers. In cases where no sickness had
taken place during the voyage, and no infection
apprehended, the vessels had permits to come di
realy up 10 the town— Where infedion was found,
or justly fufpeaed to be on board, or where sick
ness was or had been on board, or death during the
voyage, the vessels were carefully Imoaked and
cleansed, and when fufficiently purified, permission
was given them to come up to town, or go else
where at their pleasure. The fame orders and reg
ulations were continued, were in force and duly
executed the year past, and will be continued and
ftriaiv enforced the current year ; and if any mat
ter, officer, or any person on board any ship or
veffcl that fliall arrive at this harbour, from any
ports or places before mentioned, after the rgh
day of May next, and before the firft day of Nov
ember next, than be guilty of giving a falfe report
when hailed at the Castle, or mail come up to the
town, or fuffir any of the people, or any passenger
to go on fliore, or (hall fuffer any person to go
on board any such vessel, or carry or fuffer any
thing to be carried on fliore therefrom, before be
ing visited and infpe&ed as a'orefaid, every person
so offending, (hall be dealt with as the law direds.

stout in proportion to his uncommon height, and ,s
every way well built, except that he has natural.y
a small stoop in his (boulders.He has a counte
nance, very open, and expressive of a good difpefi

ways among the mod noisy and active, on an oc
calion of merriment, when aflociated with those <r
his own rank ; and on fueb occasion, always liberal
to a fault, lo as to have brought himfeif frequently
into very great difficulty by thus inprudentiy cos
trading debts. He is very illiterate, so as not to'
know ^ letter; yet in conversation, makes ^ ny
unfueccisful endeavours to speak words in uic a
mong those of a higher lev& than bimlelf. Hets
besides very awkward and unpolished in his de

Davis is a man well built, sad somewhat flout— be
is a very eccentric charaaer ; and his oddities im
mediately difeover themtelves to a person upon ac
costing him—he is a very great flutterer ; particu
larly when addrefting a Granger ; then he is fomc
times, for the space of many minutes, prevented
from speaking, and is very frequently induced,
when this is the case, to be difeouraged to far as to
difeontinue all attempts, at utterance. —When be
loses his diffidence, and is enabled, by being embol
dened, to speak freely, he discovers himtelf to pot
fefs a very inferior capacity, which he particularly
manifefts by being a very great bragadotio—he is it
very great thief; and his propensity to ftealiog is to
great, that it can be asserted with confidence, he
will every where practice it. This disposition, if
not his mean appearance and down look, will forn
difeover him to be a very great scoundrel, wherer.
er he may reside.
Ten Dollars will be paid to any per

which may ntcefcily attend the apptehenlion—lt
is requisite that the deserter, when apprehended, be 1
