CONTINUATION OF LATE AND IMPORTANT FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
THIRTY-FIRST BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
AUSTERLITZ, 14 FRIMAIRE, year 14.
The Emperor set out yesterday from Austerlitz, for his advanced posts near Saratchi, where he placed himself near his bivouac. The Emperor of Germany was not long in arriving there. The two Monarchs had an interview which lasted two hours. The Emperor of Germany did not conceal both on his side and on that of the Emperor of Russia the contempt they feel for the conduct of England. They are a set of shopkeepers, he repeated, who set the Continent on fire in order to secure to themselves the trade of the world.
The two Princes agreed on the Armistice and on the principal conditions of Peace, which is to be negotiated and terminated within a few days. The Emperor of Germany then informed the Emperor that the Emperor of Russia likewise designed to make a separate peace; that he entirely abandoned the affairs of England, and no longer took any interest in them.
The Emperor of Germany frequently repeated, "There is no doubt but in her dispute with England, France is in the right." He solicited also a truce for the remainder of the Russian Army. The Emperor observed to him that the Russian army was surrounded, and that not a man could escape; but, added he, "I desire to do something agreeable to the Emperor Alexander, I will suffer the Russian Army to pass. I will stop the march of my columns, but your majesty must promise me that the Russian Army will return into Russia and evacuate Germany and Austria and Prussian Poland." Such is the intention of the Emperor Alexander, replied the Emperor of Germany, I can assure you, besides you may convince yourself of it in the course of the night by your own officers.
It is asserted that the Emperor said to the Emperor of Germany, when he asked him to come near the fire of his bivouac, "I receive you in the only palace I have inhabited for these two months past." The Emperor of Germany replied laughing, ("vous tirez si bon parti de votre habitation, qu'elle doit vous plaire") "It has been so much to your advantage that I do not wonder at its pleasing you." This is as near as could be understood the words which drop from him. The numerous suite of the two princes were not so far distant but that they heard something that was said.
The Emperor accompanied the Emperor of Germany to his carriage, and caused prince Lichtenstien and Gen. prince Schwarzenberg to be presented to him; after which he returned to sleep at Austerlitz.
Every information is collecting for the purpose of writing a fine description of the battle of Austerlitz. A great number of Engineers are drawing up the plan of the field of battle. The loss of the Russians has been immense. Generals Kutusow and Buxhowden were wounded. Ten or twelve generals were killed. Several aides-de-camp to the Emperor of Russia and a great number of officers of distinction lost their lives. It is not 120 pieces of cannon but 150 which we have taken. The enemy's columns which threw themselves into the lakes were favored by the ice but the cannonade broke it, and two whole columns were drowned. On the evening of the day and for several hours during the night, the Emperor rode over the field of battle, and caused the wounded to be carried away, a horrible spectacle, if ever there was one. The Emperor mounted on a very fleet horse galloped as long as swift as lightning; nothing was more affecting than to see those brave fellows recognize him on the field, some forgot their sufferings and said "At least the victory is certain;" others "I have suffered for these eight hours and since the beginning of the battle I am abandoned, but I have done my duty;" others, "you ought to be satisfied with your soldiers to day." With each wounded soldier the Emperor left a guard who caused him to be transported into the moveable hospitals. It is horrible to say, that 48 hours after the battle, there were still a great number of Russians whose wounds we were not able to get dressed. All the French were so before night. Instead of forty pair of colors we have already had 45 brought in, and our soldiers still find the remainder of several others. Nothing can equal the gaiety of the soldiers at their bivouacs—They scarcely perceive the Officer of the Emperor, but they cry out to him, "has the Emperor been satisfied with us?"
In passing before the 28th of the line which has a great number of Conscripti of Calvados and of the Lower Seine, the Emperor said to it: "I hope that the Normans will distinguish themselves to day." They kept their word.—The Normans distinguished themselves. The Emperor who knows the composition of each

regiment said a few words, these few words arrived and spoke to the hearts of those to whom they were addressed, and became their rallying signal in the heat of the fire. He said to the 67th, "recollect that in many years since I summoned you the Terrible." It would be necessary to name all the regiments of the army. There was not one which did not show prodigies of bravery and intrepidity. Here indeed it might be said that Death fled affrighted before our ranks to throw himself into those of the enemy. Not a corps made a retrograde movement. The Emperor said, I have fought 30 battles such as this, but I never saw one where the victory was more decisive, and the chances so little balanced. The Foot guards of the Emperor were not engaged. They wept with rage. When they asked to be employed, the Emperor said to them, "Rejoice that you have not yet been in the action, you are to fall on as a reserve. So much the better if you are no wanted to day."
Three Colonels of the Imperial Russian Guard were taken with the General who commanded them. The Hussars of this guard made a charge on the division of Caffarelli. This charge cost them 300 men who remained on the field of battle. The French cavalry shewed itself superior and acquitted itself admirably well.
At the end of the action the Emperor sent Colonel Dallemagne with two squadrons of his Guard as partisans, to ride over the field of battle and bring in the runaways.
He took several stand of colors and 1,500 prisoners. The guards greatly regret the Colonel of the horse rangers Morland, who was killed with a grape shot, as he was charging the artillery of the Russian Imperial Guards. The artillery was taken; but this brave Colonel found his death. We had not one General killed Colonel Mazas, of the 14th of the line, a brave man, was killed. Many Chiefs of battalion were wounded. The Voltigeurs vied with the grenadiers. The 55th, 43d, 14th, 26th, 40th, 17th—But we dare mention no corps; it would be an injustice to the others, they all performed wonders. There was not a single General, an Officer, a Soldier but was determined to conquer or die.
We must not conceal a trait that does honor to the enemy. The commander of the artillery of the Russian Imperial guards had just lost his cannon. He met the Emperor, "Sire, said he, get me shot; I have just lost my cannons." "Young man," answered the Emperor, "I appreciate your tears, but one may be beat by any army and still have a title to glory."
Our advanced posts are arrived at Olmutz. The Empress and the whole court have fled from thence in the greatest haste. Colonel Corbineau, Equerie to the Emperor, Commander of the 5th regiment of Rangers has 4 horses killed under him, upon the 5th he was wounded himself, after seizing a stand of colors. Prince Murat bestows great praise on the fine manoeuvres of General Kellerman, on the fine charges of Generals Nauzouy & d'Hautpoul in fine on all the Generals, for one knows not whom to name because they should all be named. The soldiers of the train have merited the praise of the army. The artillery made a dreadful havoc, among the enemy. When an account was given of it to the Emperor, he said: Its success gave me pleasure; for I have not forgot that it was in this corps that I began my military career.
The Emperor's aid-de-camp, General Savary, had accompanied the Emperor of Germany after the interview, to know whether the Emperor of Russia adhered to the capitulation. He found the wreck of the Russian army without either artillery or baggage, and in a frightful disorder. It was midnight: General Meerfield had been repulsed from Godding by Marshal Davoust. The Russian army was surrounded, not a man could escape. Prince Czartoriski introduced General Savary to the Emperor. "Tell your master," cried that Prince, that I am going away; he has wrought many miracles; how this day has increased my admiration of him! he is predestined of Heaven, my army will require a hundred years to equal his; but can I retire with safety?" Yes, Sire, answered General Savary, if Your Majesty ratifies what the two Emperors of France and Germany have agreed upon in their interview. And what is it?
That the Russian army shall retire home, by the stages that shall be regulated by the Emperor, and that it shall evacuate Germany and Austrian Poland. Upon this condition, I have the Emperor's orders to repair to our advanced posts, which have already turned you, and to give orders to protect your retreat, as the Emperor wishes to respect the friend of the First Consul. What guarantee must I give for that? Sire your Word—I give it you. This aid-de-camp set off in full gallop to Marshal Davoust, to whom he gave orders to cease all movements and to remain quiet.
May this generosity of the Emperor of the French not be so soon forgotten in Russia, as the fine procedure of the Emperor, who sent back 6000 men to the Emperor Paul with so much grace and so many tokens of esteem for him.
General Savary conversed an hour with the Emperor of Russia, and found him such as a man of heart and sense should be, whatever losses he may have experienced—The Monarch asked him to give him some details of the engagement. "You were inferior to me," said he, "and, however, you were superior in all points of attack." "Sire" answered General Savary, "that is the art of war, and the fruit of 15 years of glory. It is the 40th battle the Emperor has fought." That is true, he is a great warrior. For my part, it is the first time I have seen fire. I have never had the pretension to measure with him." "Sire, when you have gained experience, you will surpass him perhaps." "I shall now return to my capital. I came to the assistance of the Emperor of Germany. He has made known to me that he is satisfied. I am so too."
On his interview with the Emperor of Germany, the Emperor told him: Mr. and Mrs. de Colloredo, Messrs. Page and Pafumonski are all one with your Minister Cobenzel. They are the real causes of the war, and if Y. M. continues to abandon yourself to these intrigues, they will ruin all your affairs and alienate the heart of all your subjects, you who have so many qualities to be happy and beloved.
An Austrian Major having presented himself at the advanced posts, with dispatches from Mr. de Siddion at Vienna, the Emperor said "I will have nothing to do with that man, who has sold himself to England to pay his debts, and who has ruined his house and his nation by following his sister's advice."
The Emperor took the greatest notice of Prince John of Lichtenstein. He frequently said "How is it when one has men of such great distinction that one can suffer himself to be led by fools and intrigues. In fact Prince John of Lichtenstein is one of the most distinguished characters, not only for his military talents, but for his qualities and knowledge. It is confidentially asserted that the Emperor said after his conference with the Emperor of Germany, "That man has made me commit a fault, for I could have followed up my victory and taken the whole Russian and Austrian armies, but, however, there will be some tears the less shed."
THIRTY SECOND BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
AUSTERLITZ December 6 1805.
General Friant, at the battle of Austerlitz, had four horses killed under him. Colonel Conroux and Demoustier distinguished themselves. The traits of courage are so numerous that as they were reported to the Emperor he said, "I need all my power to be able to recompense worthily these brave men."
The Russians, in fighting have the habit of laying down their knapsacks; and the whole Russian army having been put to flight they were taken possession of by our soldiers. A great quantity of baggage was also taken, and the soldiers have found in it much money.
General Bertrand, who had been dispatched after the battle with a squadron of the guards, has brought in a great number of prisoners, 19 pieces of cannon, and many baggage waggons well filled. The number of pieces of cannon taken up to this time amounts to 170.
The Emperor testified some dissatisfaction that plenipotentiaries had been sent to him the day before the battle, and that the diplomatic character had been prostituted. It is worthy of M. Cobenzel, whom the whole nation regards as one of the principal authors of all its calamities.
Prince John de Lichtenstein is come to meet the Emperor at the castle of Austerlitz. The Emperor has granted him a conference of several hours. It is remarked that the Emperor conversed freely with this general officer, who has concluded with Marshal Berthier an armistice of the following tenor:
M. Talleyrand is going to Nicolsburg, where the negotiations are to be opened.
Armistice concluded between their Imperial Majesties of France and Austria.
His majesty the Emperor of the French and his majesty the Emperor of Germany desirous to reach the period of definitive negotiations for putting an end to the war which desolates the two states, have agreed as a preliminary to begin by an armistice, which shall continue until the conclusion of a definitive peace, or until the rupture of negotiations; and in this case the armistice shall not cease until fifteen days after that rupture and the cessation of the armistice shall be notified to the plenipotentiaries of both powers, and at the head quarters of both armies.
The conditions of the armistice are, 1. The line of both armies shall be in Moravia, the circle of Iglau, the circle of Znaim, the circle of Brunn, that part of the circle of Olmutz upon the right bank of the small river of Trzebovka opposite to Prostiz as far as it empties itself into the Marek, and the right bank of the Marek as far as the mouth of that river into the Danube including however Presburg; but no French or Austrian troops shall be stationed within a circumference of five or six leagues round Holitsh on the right bank of the Marek.
The line of the two armies shall besides comprehend, in the territory to be occupied by the French army, the whole of Lower and Upper Austria, the Tyrol, the state of Venice, Garinthia, Styria, Carniola, the county of Goritz and Istria; in short, in Bohemia, the circle of Montabor, and all the country on the east of the road from Tabor to Linz.
2. The Russian army shall evacuate the Austrian States, as well as Polish Austria, viz, Moravia and Hungary within fifteen days and Galicia within a month. The order of its march shall be traced, so that it may be always known where it is, as well as to prevent all misunderstandings.
3. There shall not be made in Hungary any kind of levy en masse, nor insurrections; & in Bohemia no kind of extraordinary levy; no foreign arms shall be permitted to enter the territory of the House of Austria.
Negotiators on each side shall meet at Nicolsburg, to proceed immediately on the business of negotiations, in order to establish promptly Peace and harmony between the two Emperors.
Done interchangeably between us the undersigned, the marshal Berthier, minister of war, major general of the grand army, charged with full powers from his majesty the Emperor of the French and King of Italy; and Prince John de Lichtenstein, lieutenant general, charged with full powers from his majesty the Emperor of Austria, king of Hungary, &c.
At Austerlitz, the 15th Frimaire, year 14 (6th December, 1805.)
Signed Marshal BERTHIER, J. Prince de LICHTENSTEIN, lieut. general.
SCHONEBRUNN, Dec. 29. Before the Emperor NAPOLEON left this place, he published the following, PROCLAMATION TO THE ARMY.
"SOLDIERS,
"Peace between me and the EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA is signed. You have in this late season of the year made two campaigns—you have performed every thing I expected from you. I am setting out to return to my capital. I have promoted, and distributed rewards to those who have distinguished themselves most; I will perform to you every thing I have promised. You have seen that your EMPEROR has shared with you all dangers and fatigues; you shall likewise see him surrounded with all that grandeur and splendor which becomes the Sovereign of the first nation in the world. In the beginning of the month of May I will give a grand festival at Paris; you shall all be there; and we shall there see whether we are called by the happiness of our country, and the interest of our glory.
"Soldiers during the three months which are necessary for your return to France, be the example of all armies.—You have now to give examples, not of courage and intrepidity, but of strict discipline—may my allies no more have to complain of your behaviour! Conduct yourselves on your arrival in that sacred territory, like children in the bosom of their family. My people will conduct themselves towards you, as they must do towards their heroes and their defenders.
Soldiers, the thought that I shall see you all in less than half a year, assembled round my Palace, is pleasing to my heart; and I feel before-hand the most delightful emotions. We will celebrate the memory of those, who, in these two campaigns, have fallen in the field of honor. The world shall see that we are ready to follow their example, and if necessary, to do still more than we have done, against those who attack our honour, or suffer themselves to be misled by the gold of the eternal enemy of the Continent.
(Signed) "NAPOLEON." "By order of the EMPEROR, "Maj. Gen. Marshal BERTHIER." "Schonbrunn, 6th Nivose, Dec. 27."
The EMPEROR at the same likewise published the following Proclamation:
"Inhabitants of Vienna—I have signed a peace with the EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA. As I am about to return to my Capital, I must express to you the esteem I entertain for you, and the satisfaction I have felt at your conduct, during the time you were under my laws. I have given you an example, which hitherto has had no parallel in the history of nations. Ten thousand men of your national guards have remained armed, and have guarded your gates; your whole arsenal has continued in your power, while I have followed the uncertain fortune of war. I have trusted to your honor, your sincerity, your integrity, and you have justified my confidence.
"Inhabitants of Vienna, I know that you consider that war as blameable, which a Minister devoted to a foreign power has kindled on the Continent. Young Sovereign is informed of the conduct of that Minister, and has in consequence acted entirely according to the great qualities which distinguish him; and I now hope, that hereafter happier days will arise for you, and for the Continent.
"Inhabitants of Vienna, I have shews myself little among you, not from contempt, or vain pride; no, but that I might not diminish the feelings of esteem for that Monarch with whom I was desirous to conclude a speedy peace. As I am now about to leave you, receive from me as a present, your arsenal untouched, which by the laws of war had become my property; make use of it for the maintenance of good order. All the evils you have suffered, you must ascribe to the calamities inseparable from war;
and every kind of indulgence with which my armies have treated these countries, to the esteem which you have deserved.
(Signed) "NAPOLEON." "By order of the EMPEROR, "Major-Gen. Marshal BERTHIER." "Schonbrunn, 6th Nivose, (Dec. 27.) Year 14."
Among the other changes which are to follow the peace of Presburgh, the German Elective Body is to receive an accession of two Members. The Duke of Brunswick, and the Prince of Hesse Darmstadt, are to be exalted to the dignity of Electors. We should not be surprised, if the King of Prussia should, on the first opportunity, become the head of the Empire. These two new Electors, created, no doubt, for that special purpose, will give him a majority, should he be disposed to contest the election of a king of the Romans.
The Wirtemburgh news-paper states, that upon the request of the Austrian Emperor, Baron Thugut was permitted to be present at the conferences at Presburgh; from whence it is inferred, that even a peace between France and England was an object of the deliberations: Baron Thugut having before conducted the negotiations with England, is supposed to have been well acquainted with the subject.
Letters from Vienna, of the 22d inst. confirm the nomination of Count De Stadion, formerly Minister from Austria to St. Peterburgh, as Minister of Foreign Affairs. A Treaty of Alliance offensive and defensive, is said to be on the point of conclusion between Austria and France.—Bosnia, Wallachia, and Servia, are to indemnify the Emperor for the loss of Venice and the Tyrol. To the Governor of the latter country, his Majesty has written a most impressive letter, lamenting the imperious circumstances that forced him to give up the Sovereignty of that Country.
The contribution on Austria-Prussia is 60,000,000 of francs. All the French conscripts have received orders to return home.
Fifty thousand of the French Grand Army are to remain in Germany until every thing is arranged.
The Archduke Charles, on his return to Vienna, immediately solicited marks of distinction for the officers and soldiers that had signalized themselves under his command in Italy. They were readily granted by his brother.
NEWPORT.
THURSDAY—MARCH 27, 1806.
Several Communications, and other interesting articles, unavoidably omitted.
FEDERAL CONSISTENCY.
The Federalists say that the most eloquent speech ever made in the Congress of the United States, is that of Mr. John Randolph upon Mr. Gregg's resolution for a suspension of our commercial intercourse with Great Britain.
What does Mr. Randolph say in this eloquent speech? If a right summary of it has been given, he in the first place tells Congress that they have been ten weeks in session, and have done nothing. For this neglect of duty he gives them a severe reprimand. He then goes on to inform them that if they had been disposed to do something, it was wholly out of their power; for it was nonsense to think of fighting England. He proves this fact by his glowing metaphor of the mammoth and the whale. He then proceeds to tell them that England in her dispute with this country is in the right; that Mr. Madison's pamphlet upon the subject is a wire-drawn sophistical performance; that if we should go to war with England, or suspend our commercial intercourse with her, it would give France such an advantage over her, that Bonaparte would probably succeed in his meditated invasion; and that after he had conquered England, he would come and conquer us. He concludes this fiery harangue by saying, that he knew nothing about the subject he was discussing. This we believe is the truest part of his speech; for every part of it shews this to have been the case.
Leaving for the present the consideration of the non-sensical contradictions which this speech contains, we will examine it in relation to the fine things which the federalists have said about it, as well as in relation to other parts of their political conduct.
The federalists say it is the best speech that ever was made in that house. The speech lays

that England in interdicting our trade between the colonies and the mother country, has acted conformably to the principles of justice and the law of nations. Now it is not very consistent in the federalists to bestow such encomiums upon this speech, when they have read so much, said so much, thought so much, and written so much, to prove that the conduct of the British in this particular, is unjust, and contrary to the law of nations? If Mr. Madison's arguments upon this question be sophistical, and Mr. Randolph has knocked them all over at one blow, so are the arguments in the New-York, Philadelphia and Boston Memorials sophistical; and Mr. Randolph has necessarily laid the arguments in these memorials as low as he has those in Mr. Madison's pamphlet, it would still be evident that if they were sophistical in one of these performances, they must be sophistical in all of them; for the sentim uti expressed in these memorials and in Mr. Madison's pamphlet are the same.
Mr. Randolph's dolphins metaphor of the mammoth and whale, is evidently one of his cogent arguments in opposition to a navy establishment in this country. This part of his speech the federalist particularly prides. Yet we hear these same federalists continually speaking about the necessity of a navy. A young federalist in England, no longer ago than last fall, wrote home to his friends that he was ashamed to acknowledge himself an American, because we had not a navy sufficiently strong to protect our commerce from the illegal seizures of the British cruisers. He said we ought to have forty ships of the line, a proportionate number of frigates and smaller vessels, and then we should be respected. And notwithstanding the republican satisfactorily proved the annual expense of such an armament would greatly exceed the annual amount of the revenue, and would not be one third strong enough to protect our extensive commerce against the piratical depredations of the British navy; yet the federalist said that it was an excellent letter: That it contained very sound logic! and must have been written by a very found head. Now Mr. John Randolph has made a speech, and told us it is nonsense to think of building a navy: And this speech the federalist says is the best that ever was made in Congress. What consistent creatures these federalists are.
We will now examine Mr. Randolph's speech in relation to its own merits. We have before given a summary of the positions which it is said to contain. We will give another short one, that the reader may not forget what those positions are. He said that Congress had been sitting for ten weeks, and had done nothing; that they were exceedingly reprehensible for this criminal neglect of their duty; that if they had been disposed to have done something, it was wholly out of their power to have done it, because we were not able to cope with England; that there was nothing at all to be done; because in our dispute with her ourselves were the aggressors; that if we should go to war with her, it would probably prove her entire destruction, and eventually end in the ruin of this country. What an assemblage of eloquent contradictions do we here see. We are first told that it is nonsense and madness to think of going to war with England, because it is in her power to crush us at a single blow, and then, that poor old England lies wholly at our mercy. What a poor old creature she must be! Now who is not charmed with such charming and such manly logic as this is; and who is not delighted with such a delightful creature, as the delightful speaker, of this delightful speech.
The following Communication has anticipated our further remarks upon Mr. Hunter's Resolution.
Mr. Hunter's Resolution has the appearance of being the voice of the Legislature. This with the public may excite surprize, until circumstances which accompanied it, be made known. It had been expected by every member of the Assembly during their session, that they should rise at the close of the week. Accordingly on Saturday afternoon they were in movement to depart. After one third of the members, we presume, were actually gone away, Mr. H. saw fit, at the late hour of five in the afternoon, to bring forward his Resolution, and obtained his object in the event of its being passed, by the House. Mr. H. must certainly have foreseen the abortion of that object, had he for a moment contemplated that the circumstances of its birth would have accompanied the resolution in its issuing before the public. He could not have been ignorant that a resolution so unlike the political sentiments of R. Island, could ever have found its way into public view, unattended with observations relative to its origin.
It is remote however from our disposition to alledge any inconsistency in his principles or conduct. His politics have ever been those of the Anglo-American School. An effort therefore to fortify the forts and augment the navy of the U. States, so long rung thro' an infinity of changes, is only a combination of principle with practice.
Such pretensions while they exhibit for their object a defence of the Union against a British enemy , are prettily colluding with British Policy , while attempting to bring forward plans, condemned at present as anti-republican and of course repugnant to the interests of America .

COMMUNICATION.
Instances are not unfrequent in which apology defeats its own intentions; and instead of extenuating an error, exaggerates its consequences by giving celebrity and emphasis to facts. The affair of the interment of our late Chief Magistrate, however facetious in itself, might have passed off, unnoticed in the procession of common events, had not an attempt been made in a public paper, to palliate the buffoonery of its management. Who after reading a communication in a late number of the Phoenix, but views the proceedings more like the fiftitious solemnities of a holiday-ceremony, than the obsequies of a funeral. It reminds us of the faux pas of the ancient Ethiopians, who, intending to defeat the design of Eratosthenes, accomplished it themselves , in passing an edict prohibiting the mention of the " arson ," by recording and giving publicity to the sacrilege .
Mr. Bissell,
The possible apprehension that "An Elegy on a Rich Man," published in your paper, of the 13 inst. might give umbrage to the feelings of any valuable friend, induces the writer to declare, that his pen was not governed by the slightest sentiment of disrespeet for the deceased, nor the remotest disapprobation for any of the surviving confederates: He hopes that the good nature and understanding of the reader will prevent him from attaching the serious imputation of a profane disquisition to a poetic effusion, which was solely the result of a facetious moment, and the offspring of an unoffending heart: And were the reader persuaded that nothing but the impotence of illiberality and ignorance, however nurtured in the OBDO-RACY OF AGE or immaturity of youth, could impute to such an odious production, an unworthiness of motive, he would suspend his sentence at least until deliberate examination. The writer however reposes in the confidence, that he cannot, by such careless prolusions, prejudice the heart of friendship, candour or intelligence; —from such alone he expects—from such alone he solicits a continued indulgence to a claim in their good will.

POETRY.
From the Shop of SIMON SPUNKEY, Esq.
THE OLD MAID'S COMPLAINT.
TUNE—"MARY'S LAMENTATION."
MY hey-day of beauty is fled; The pleasures of life are all o'er: What a fool I have been not to wed! When I might have had twenty, or more.
The spring of enjoyment is past: Soon winter succeeds to my May: Exposed to the pitiless blast, I sigh my existence away.
How alter'd, alas! is my case, Since erst, at my beauty's levee, Each handsome young man in the place Was pretty near dying for me.
The young Misses, flirting about, At me point the finger of scorn; While I can do nothing but pout, And wish I had never been born.
Ye fine ladies, take my advice, And make a good use of your beauty; And not be so coy and so nice, That nobody ever can suit ye.
Don't hesitate—now is your time; Get marry'd, dear girls, if you can: Get marry'd, I say, in your prime, To any good passable man.
DIALOGUE.
For the benefit of despairing Lovers, when their Mistress discard them.
CHLOE.
FALSE lover, turn; thy oaths forego! All oaths in love are wrong; The more you swear, the more I know That love can't hold you long.
Remember how I heard you swear To DELIA in the grove; 'Twas "love me, DELIA! love me, dear! "Or I shall die with love!"
ALBERT.
Sweet CHLOE, shut those ruby lips! 'Twas true, I lov'd her then; But, if she did not tell me fibs, She lov'd me not again!
And he that on his knees will whine, As dogs do to the moon, For one that heeds him not, I ween, Must be a filthy loon.
