CONTINUATION OF LATE AND IMPORTANT FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
CONDUCT OF PRUSSIA.
HAMBURGH, Jan. 31.
The tranquillity of the North seems now to be secured by the interference of Prussia—A treaty between Napoleon and Frederick William has been signed for this purpose; it consists of seven articles. The allied troops of Britain, Russia and Sweden are to evacuate the Electorate, which is to remain in the possession of a Prussian Administration till a general peace takes place. Count Schulenberg is to superintend the Administration of Hanover.
LONDON, Feb. 8.
The conduct of Prussia has been "strange, passing strange." After her public declarations; the march of her numerous armies; and the hopes held out to the allies, her operation against France could scarcely be questioned—All at once, her armies are ordered to halt; to march back, and to go into quarters on a peace establishment; and it is found she has been in continual negotiation with France; and that Count Haugwitz was on his journey to Paris to put a finish to a treaty between Prussia and France. By this treaty, it seems, that Prussia has stipulated for the unopposed return of the Russian and British troops from Hanover. [They have since left the electorate; and the greater part of them arrived in England about the 8th February.]
Feb. 10.
The first dispatches which Mr. Fox has received from the continent, announce, that the King of Prussia had taken possession of Hanover in his own name; had ordered the oath of allegiance to be administered to the different authorities; had directed the removal of the British arms from all the public offices; prohibited all correspondence between the Public Functionaries and the Court of Great-Britain, and appointed Count Schulenburg Governor of the Electorate. It is also added, that arrangements had been made to shut out British commerce from all the ports of Prussia!!
OF THE RUSSIAN ARMIES.
VIENNA, Dec. 28.
We learn that Alexander, previous to his departure for Russia, sent orders to his generals in the Neapolitan territory, to evacuate Italy, and re-embark for Russia.
SCHEIDAM, Dec. 28.
Immediately after the armistice between Austria and France, was signed, the Russian troops set out on their return home, through Galicia.
The Russians and Swedes are evacuating Hanover.—The British are ready to embark for their native isle, agreeably to the stipulations of a treaty between France and Prussia.
PARIS, Jan. 22.
The Emperor has adopted Prince Eugene Beauharnois, as his son, and allotted to him the kingdom of Italy, after certain conditions are fulfilled by certain powers, and in the interim, the Prince is to act as Viceroy. It is said he takes the name of Eugene Napoleon.
On the 4th inst. at Munich, was celebrated the marriage of Prince Eugene Beauharnois, [son of the French Empress by her former husband, since adopted by Bonaparte,] with the Princess Augusta Amalia of Bavaria.
We are assured that orders have been given to augment the flotilla at Bologne, in as much as the Grand Army will soon return to the coast. Jan. 27.
The Emperor and Empress returned to this capital last evening. The Emperor declines any public honors till his troops return. Addresses, as usual, were presented by the different branches of the government. Jan. 29.
The Rochefort squadron has returned to port, after a cruise of 161 days. It has taken one man-of-war, 3 sloops, and 42 merchantmen.
Yesterday his Majesty, surrounded by the Princes, and Grand Dignitaries, received on his throne, the homage and congratulations of the Constituted Authorities.
All the views of Napoleon are directed to the conquest of the Ottoman Empire, and Constantinople is mentioned as the future residence of the Holy Father.
Extract from His Majesty's Message, on the opening of Parliament, yesterday.
"His Majesty has commanded us further to inform you, that whilst the superiority of his arms at sea has been uniformly asserted and maintained, he has not been wanting in his endeavors to apply the means which were so liberally placed at his disposal in aid of such of the Powers of the Continent as had evinced a determination to resist the formidable and growing encroachments of France. He has directed the several treaties to be laid before you; and though he cannot but deeply lament that the events of the war in Germany have disappointed his hopes, and led to an unfavorable issue, yet His Majesty feels confident that, upon a

review of the steps which he has taken, you will be of opinion that he has left nothing undone on his part to sustain the efforts of his Allies, and that he has acted in strict conformity to the principles declared by him and recognized by Parliament as essential to the interests and security of his own dominions, as well as to the general safety of the Continent.
"It is a great consolation to his Majesty, and one in which he is persuaded you will participate, that although the emperor of Germany has felt himself compelled to withdraw from the contest, his Majesty continues to receive from his august ally the emperor of Russia, the strongest assurance of unshaken adherence to that generous and enlightened policy by which he has been actuated; and his Majesty has no doubt that you will be fully sensible of the important advantage to be derived from preserving, at all times, the closest and most intimate connection with that Sovereign.
"His Majesty is most fully persuaded, that whatever pride and confidence you may feel, in common with him, in the uniform success which has distinguished the British arms in the course of the present contest, you will be sensible how much the events of the war on the Continent, by which the predominant power and influence of France have been unhappily extended, require the continuance of all possible vigilance and caution. Under this impression, his Majesty trusts that your attention will be invariably directed to improvement of those means which are to be found in the bravery and discipline of his forces, in the zeal and loyalty of every class of his subjects, and in the unexhausted resources of his great and powerful empire, for sending him invincible at home, as well as formidable abroad; satisfied, that by such efforts alone the contest can be brought to a conclusion, consistent with the safety and independence of the country, and with its rank among the nations of Europe."
DEATH OF MR. PITT.
LONDON, Jan. 23.—Yesterday morning, died, at his house in Putney, the Right Hon. WILLIAM PITT, Chancellor of the Exchequer, First Lord of the Admiralty, &c. &c. He had been ill several weeks. His unwearied attention to business, and the lively interest he took in passing events, occasioned an extreme debility in his system, which deprived him of his usual rest, and led to a general breaking up of his constitution.—An hereditary gout, attended by dropsy, and fever, prevented his either taking or retaining food or medicine; and finished his existence on earth. About 48 hours before his decease, his physician requested the British of Lincoln to inform him of his situation; and that his disease was beyond the power of medicine to baffle. He received the information with perfect resignation, made his will, declared his firm reliance upon the mercy of God, and that he died in peace with all mankind.
The Morning Chronicle , the leading paper of Opposition, thus notices the decease of this great man:
"The world are little acquainted with the true character of that distinguished body of men, known by the name of the Opposition, if they impute to them the indulgence of any secret satisfaction on the melancholy loss to his King and Country of a most eloquent and able Statesman. It was not with HIM that they were at war. They are at war with a system which has marked with calamity every period of his Majesty's reign; which began with making America independent of Great-Britain, and which has now made the continent of Europe dependant upon France!"
"Of the justice of this clear distinction and of the steadiness with which the Opposition have invariably applied it, no proof can so strongly speak as this simple fact—that whenever the illustrious person, who is no more, was at war with that system, HE AND THE OPPOSITION WERE ONE."
"Independent, therefore, of the esteem of many, and the admiration of all, for splendid abilities, and for eloquence rarely equalled, the Opposition, we can venture to say for them individually, as collectively, feel the death of PITT as a great public calamity."
NEW BRITISH MINISTRY.
LONDON, Feb. 8.—The death of Mr. PITT has occasioned an entire new change of the Ministry. The following are said to be the new appointments, viz.
Lord Grenville, First Lord of the Treasury, vice Mr. Pitt, deceased.
Lord (late Mr.) Erskine, Lord Chancellor, vice Lord Eldon.

Earl Fitzwilliam, President of the Council.
Lord Sidmouth, (late Mr. Addington) Lord Privy Seal.
Lord Ellenborough, Lord Chief Justice, has a seat in the Council.— These Ministers form the Cabinet.
OTHER APPOINTMENTS.
The Duke of York, continues Commander in Chief—but great complaints are made of him; and a Council of War has been added to his office. Mr. Sheridan, Treasurer of the Navy. Gen. Fitzpatrick, Secretary at war—Lord Minto, President of the board of Control. Most of the other Officers are changed, and the friends of Lord Grenville, Mr. Fox, or Mr. Addington, (Lord Sidmouth) fill their places.
THIRTY THIRD BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
AUSTERLITZ, December 7.
"General Buxhowden, with a considerable number of other generals, of whose names we are ignorant, have been killed. The Russian general Kutusow is wounded; his son-in-law, a young man of great merit, is killed.
"On counting the number of the dead bodies there were found eighteen thousand Russians, six hundred Austrians, and nine hundred French.—We have here seven thousand wounded Russians, and according to all accounts, three thousand wounded Frenchmen. General Roger Voinubert is dead of his wounds. An hour before his death took place, he wrote to the Emperor; "I should wish to have done more for you; in an hour I will be no more. I regret not the loss of life, since I have been able to participate in a victory which assures you of a happy reign.—When you think of those brave men who have been wholly devoted to you, think also of me.—I have only to remind you that I have a family; I cannot do more to recommend them to your notice."
"Generals Kellerman, Sebastiani, and Thiebault, are out of danger. Generals Marisy and Dumont are wounded, but by no means dangerously."
"The names of the generals made prisoners are, Bubizenki, Wimpfen, Mueller, Zawowski, Berg Veleh n, Strizy, Szetkakoff, Prince Repnin, Prince Siberki, Adrian, Laganoff, Sulima, Mezenkoff, Woeckoff."
"Many more died on the field of battle; besides from four to five hundred officers, among whom are 20 Majors and Lieutenant Colonels, and more than 100 captains."
"The Emperor has desired the Minister Talleyrand to repair from Vienna to Brunn. The negotiations are going on at Nicoloburg. M Maret was at Austerlitz with the Emperor, who affixed his signature, at that place, to the labors of the Minister and the Council of State. The Emperor will pass this night at Brunn."
THIRTY FOURTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
BRUNN, Dec. 10.
The Emperor has received to-day the Prince Repnin, who was made a prisoner in the battle of Austerlitz, at the head of the Russian guards of which he was Colonel. His Majesty told him that he did not wish to deprive the Emperor Alexander of such brave men, and that he, together with all the prisoners of the Guards, were at liberty to return to Russia.
Prince John, of Lichtenstein, arrived here yesterday, invested with full powers to treat.—The conferences with M. Talleyrand go on briskly.
The Premier Adjutant Junot, whom his Majesty has sent to the Emperors of Germany and Russia, saw the Emperor of Germany at Holtenfels, and was very graciously received by him. He has not been able to accomplish the other purposes of his mission, because the Emperor Alexander, as well as General Kutusow, were already gone off for Peterburgh.
His Majesty has received M. Hougwitz at Brunn, with distinguished honor, and was perfectly satisfied with every communication from this plenipotentiary. All intrigues have been and always will prove ineffectual to the wisdom and the integrity of the King of Prussia. The French nation, however, is by no means dependent on the sentiments of any one, and 150,000 more against them, would only have prolonged the war a little longer. Neither France nor Prussia can in this respect be too prodigal of their encomiums on the Duke of Brunswick, the Generals Von Mollendorf, Knobelsdorf, and Lombard, and in particular the king himself. The offers made by the British Court were always declined, as Prussia could not have had a more disinterested and solid friend than France.
BRUNN, November 28.
Head-Quarters, Austerlitz, December 7.
Napoleon, Emperor of the French and King of Italy, decrees as follows:
I. A contribution of 100 million francs (above four millions sterling) is to be raised from Austria, Moravia, and other Provinces of the house of Austria which are now in the possession of the French army.
II. This sum is intended as a gratuity for the army, agreeably to a distribution which is yet to be arranged.
III. The price of all magazines, of salt, tobacco, arms, powder, and other military stores, which the French army has no need of, and which our General of the artillery may not take to France, and the sale of which we will determine, shall be given into the money chest of our army, in order to divide it among them as a gratuity or prize money.
IV. Out of the funds of these contributions, as well as those of Suabia, there is to be paid three months pay to all Generals, Officers and Privates, who have been, or may yet be wounded in this war.
(Signed) MARET.
Napoleon, Emperor of the French, and King of Italy, decrees as follows:
Art. I. The Widows of the generals killed in the battle of Austerlitz shall receive a pension for life of 6,000 francs; the widows of Colonels and Majors, a pension of 4,400 francs. Our Minister at War is charged with the execution of this Decree, which shall be inserted in the order of the day of the Army, & in the Bulletin of law.
(Signed) MARET.
Napoleon, &c. decrees as follows:
Art. I. We adopt all the Children of the Generals, Officers and Soldiers, who were killed in the battle of Austerlitz.
II. They shall be supported and educated at our expence, the boys at the Imperial Palace of Bambouillet, and the girls at the Imperial Palace of St. Germain—the boys shall be provided for by us, and the girls receive a portion.
III. Besides their Christian and family names, they shall be entitled to bear the name of Napoleon. Our Grand Judge will observe, in this case, all the formalities prescribed by the Civil Code.
IV. Our Grand Marshal of the Palace and Intendant General of the Crown are charged with the execution of the present decree; which shall be published in the order of the day of the Army, and inserted in the bulletin of laws. By order of the Emperor.
MARET.
THIRTY-FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE GRAND ARMY.
BRUNN, Dec. 11.—The Russian Army began its march to Russia on the 8 of December, in three columns. The first took the route by Cracow and Therespel; the second by Kefchan, Lemberg, and Brodi, and the third by Tynau, Balsa, and Ussadin.—The Emperor of Russia is at the head of the first. Independent of the artillery belonging to the different battalions, the Russians lost a park of artillery of 100 cannons, and the ammunition waggons. The emperor has inspected this park, and gave orders that all these pieces should be sent to France. To have taken from 150 to 160 cannons in one battle, is an instance without any parallel.—They had been all in actual service during the battle.
Chief d'Escadron Chapolin adjutant of Marshal Bernadotte, is killed. The Colonels Lacourt of the 5th regiment of Dragoons; Digson, of the 26th Regiment of Chasseurs; Brun, of Marshal Bessieres; Gerard, Adjutant of Marshal Bernadotte; Mares, Adjutant of Marshal Davoust, are wounded.
The Chiefs of battalion, Perrier, of the 36th regiment of infantry of the line; Grune, of the 4th regiment of infantry of the line; Schwiter, of the 57th regiment of infantry of the line; the Chiefs of Escadron, Grambot, of the 2d regiment of Carabineers; Didelon, of the 3d regiment of Dragoons; Bardischen, of the 4th regiment of Hussars; the Chiefs of Battalion of Artillery, Abrist, Ruhret, and Moillard, of the 55th regiment of the line; Brosil, of the 43d; and the Chiefs d'Escadron, Preville, of the 2d Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard, Boyermann, Bonn & Thierry are wounded.
Captain Herve, of the horse chasseurs of the guard, is dead in consequence of his wounds. Capt. Geist, Lieutenant Bereau Babeneg Guvot Fournier, Caded, Bayeux and Menos,
of the horse chasseurs of the guard, and Lieutenants Massager and Rollet, of the horse grenadiers of the guard, are wounded.
Several letters from Vienna say, in positive terms, that Prussia will certainly not engage in the war; on the contrary, that peace might be sooner expected than it is generally imagined.
NEWPORT.
THURSDAY—APRIL 3, 1806.
Remarks upon Mr. Randolph's Speech.
SINCE the publication of our remarks upon an abstract of Randolph's first speech upon Mr. Gregg's Resolution for a suspension of our commercial intercourse with Great-Britain, we have received the speech entire, and are sorry to say it is more insolent and ridiculous than the abstract which we had before received. For we find that this speech not only condemns our trade from the Colonies of a belligerent to the mother country as unjust and fraudulent, but declares in the most unqualified terms, that in attempting to defend it, we should plunge ourselves into murderous and offensive war. But why does he say such a war would be offensive? Merely because the trade is fraudulent? No; but because the Constitution of these United States has given Congress no jurisdiction over any object beyond our Country's fixed and established boundaries! What an ignorance of the plainest principles of our Constitution he has here discovered! Is it possible that Mr. Randolph who has displayed so much eloquence in praise of his own knowledge in politics, should be so ignorant of the Constitution of this Country, as not to know that the third clause of the second section of the third article expressly provides, that whenever a crime shall have been committed not within the limits of any State, it shall be tried and punished where Congress shall by law have directed? Or did he imagine that his opponents were as ignorant as he described them to be; and that consequently they would believe the non-sensical jargon he had uttered? Is Mr. Randolph so ignorant of the political history of his country as not to know that this clause has ever been considered as giving Congress jurisdiction over the citizens of these United States when beyond the limits of our Country's territory? Does he not know that this construction was given to the Constitution when the whole of its framers were alive? And did he ever hear that one of them disputed the propriety of such a construction? When the whole of the territory belonging to this Country comes to be divided into States, what possible meaning can this clause of the Constitution have, unless it be the one we have here given it. If indeed neither this nor any other clause of the Constitution has given Congress jurisdiction over the citizens of this country when beyond the limits of its territory, what right had they to make laws to regulate their conduct when upon the high seas and in foreign ports? What right had they to make laws to regulate their conduct in our very rivers and harbors? If they have no jurisdiction over the citizens of this country when one hundred miles at sea, have they any jurisdiction over them when one hundred yards from the shore? Who that draws the line and say that Congress shall have jurisdiction to a certain distance beyond the limits of this country and no further? Shall Mr. Randolph draw it? He dares not do it. That great mammoth of eloquence will never venture his carcass beyond the water's edge. He has told us so. He is too well acquainted with the kind of food which sharks prefer to trust his proboscis to their ravenous gripe. Has the Constitution drawn any such line? No; for if our construction of it be correct, Congress has an absolute jurisdiction over the citizens of this Country when beyond its limits, and not within the jurisdiction of any other government. But if on the other hand Mr. Randolph's construction of it be the right one, the jurisdiction of Congress is confined to the limits of the territory of this country; and those limits can never be considered as extending beyond the margin of the sea which washes them; because if you extend them one yard from the shore, you may extend them across the Atlantic.
We say with Mr. Randolph, we are ashamed of having said so much upon so plain a subject; and nothing but an apprehension that the bold assertions of this bully-bug blusterer, might mislead the judgement of some of our honest fellow-citizens who are not particularly acquainted with the Constitution of their Country, could have induced us to notice his contemptible sophistry. We will therefore close our remarks upon this part of his speech by observing, that the consequences which would follow the adoption of the construction which he has given to the Constitution, are too obvious to require an explanation, and too absurd to permit any rational being to acquiesce in such a sophistical construction. For who is there of common understanding, who is not able to perceive, that should this construction of the Constitution once obtain, the most atrocious crimes might then be committed with impunity within sight of our shores. And yet Mr. Randolph has the modesty to tell us, that the Constitution was made for the PROTECTION of the people of this Country, and that if we adopt his construction of it, we shall find that security which its establishment was intended to insure! What a fool he has made of himself, in attempting to make fools of others.— (To be Continued.)
Our readers have no doubt observed, that in our last paper, Isaac Wilber Esq. and Gen. Simeon Martin, were both mentioned as candidates for the office of Lieutenant-Gover-

for his State for the ensuing year. As to the circumstances relative to the nomination of the latter gentleman, except those contained in one of the resolutions of the meeting which originated him, have ever been published, we have thought proper to insert a few of them, for the benefit of our country readers.
The evening previous to that on which he was nominated, a number of the citizens of this town, composed of both Republicans and federalists, but principally of federalists, met at the State-House agreeably to notice, and adjourned to meet at the same place the next evening. This adjournment was occasioned by the badness of the weather, which prevented the citizens from generally attending. The next evening they met again; and resolved, first to endeavor to obtain the election of some person in this town, to the office of Lieutenant Governor for the year ensuing; and secondly to support Gen. Martin as a candidate for that office. They then appointed Constant Taber, Esq. and Gen. Daniel Sheldon, a committee to wait on Gen. Martin, and request him to permit his name to be made use of, for the purpose, mentioned in their second resolution.
Mr. Bissell, Having by mere accident, perused a letter, written by a friend of mine to his correspondent in Congress, which, as it will serve to exhibit a portion of the public mind on the recent ELLIOTISM of Johnny Randolph, is communicated for the Rhode-Island Republican.
“Dear Sir, Your favor has, at length announced to us the long-looked-for decision of Congress, respecting the non-importation of sundry articles from England. Many are of the opinion here that it does not go far enough; though at the same time condemn the conduct of the eleven Republicans, that voted against it. With what kind of reasoning can such conduct as theirs be supported? Because they cannot do great good, will they do harm?—At least they ought to have gratified the public with their reasons why they have thus voted. The British will include the 11 in the 34 as their friends. Johnny Randolph will assuredly be ridiculed and despised by honest Republicans. Not all his flowery Eloquence will secure him from the lash he deserves. But it appears however by your vote in Congress, that he has not brow-beaten to scorn our men of worth and integrity;—and we hope they will persevere to the end in supporting the interests, the honor and the liberty of our Country. We are all puzzled here to tell what will be the issue of those great things which have lately occurred;—Bonaparte's success in effect with Britain—the difficulty with the Spaniards—Miranda's expedition, &c. all which are big with great events which time alone must bring to pass.—Our merchants are at a stand and cannot determine what to do with their ‘cock-boats.’ But as trifling as may appear to the commerce of the United States may appear to this ‘blustering rascal’ we hope in due time to see the wheels of this vast machine in successful motion, whenever it shall be for the greater good of our country.”
Yours, &c. Bristol, March 29, 1806. FOR THE RHODE-ISLAND REPUBLICAN. BRAN-NEW LOGICK, OR AN INVINCIBLE PLEA FOR BRITISH DEPREDATION ON AMERICAN COMMERCE.
BY LANCASTER LOYAL, ESQ. Candidate for a Peerage or a Pension. ARGUMENT. The potent arguments of Lancaster Must bid your dullest, cleverest Yankee stir, And fly to your silence, whom they bit on, As Bonaparte convinces Britain,— Endear the courtesy of capturers, Turn grievances to semi-raptures, Present, without a step on folly's see, The GOLDEN RULE of British policy, And prove, that power by weakness curst is, The longest—in the sword of JUSTICE, (Which tho' 'tis admit you're both and coy all, She finds full faith in LANEY LOYAL.)
WHEN Pagan gods, their treaties, kept on, THE SEAS (we grant) belonged to Neptune,— No more right then, to regal Prow, Was England's claim, than other's—now. When Dardan broke the stale delusion, She took her turn at revolution, Dethron'd by Christian Laws adepter, The Heath'nish dog took his sceptre. But oft, to make the tenure valid, She'll compliment him with a ballad, As befits, to one estate, are coy, And bless with parvicular joy. Since Britain wields the awful trident, She'll keep the charter too,—and ride in't, Thou to the wide world's wider wonder, She's Pōrah! 'tis without his blunder. Long as Leviathan shall sweep, In royal form, beneath the deep, Her fleets stop, in vast terrorism, Shall ride and run down all before 'em.
Since she, (which is refused to no man), Has tak'n a kingdom up from common, And by politic toil and taste, Chang'd to a realm the wastey waste;— Since long possession and th' eclat on't, Gives title, more than royal patent,— And since she's urg'd, by Quince's notion, To play the lion on the ocean,— Spent cash and blood left rous'd annoy it,— Pray let her Goodship enjoy it. Almighty thus in arms and awe, She gives commercial realms their law,— This, as their strength is, marks their stations, And flowly passes laws of nations. Succeeds not then, conclusion hollow, You're law is then that you're bound to follow, And should Directory run aiken, The followers, first, must do so too. Since England boasts the power to bind, Can the not alicet and rejicet? The maxima all good jurists borrow, Laws good to day—are bad tomorrow. Great Pitt, tho' fly as Opera Glass, Discerns not ALL that comes to pass; Can't help his country from her sin, With half the ease he helps her in, His optics fail, in plight forlorn, To pierce a Haax, or turn a corner, To him, tho' gravid times impend, Accomplice comes but with the end: Enough for him, when call'd to greet 'em, To have a fund of law to meet 'em. Her influences why have you spleen in, And make a rumpus 'bout their meaning: When Pitt decides will ye arraign 'em?— When Scott approves will ye explain 'em?— Laws must attend, while fate is hurrying, Like minute men, on case occurring, And how their strength may be impeded, Time will direct, when they are needed. Long has she boasted a morality, Of such a high-born, noble quality,— It claims a priv'ledge, when hard thrust 'tis, To fool George White, in dodging justice. Thus vulgar pleas, when fully spent, Are reinforced by precedent, Whose courteous aid his knottiest cases, Like fawn-skin gloves and Levant passes, While thus, to back a capturing warrior, The knights a judge, and fees a lawyer, Who mind not equity nor Bacon, But end, for which the ship was taken; Who faithful all the trial through, Keep the great object broad in view, And having a hard trial lost, Just tax your owners for the cost. As Monkey's fail'd a lous'y lurch in, Will cuff your ears and leave off searching. Thus oft as bold ambition ranges, With policy her nature changes, And will-rash enemies hard rake her, For schemes, to which her plans take her? What dunces beholds long Allen walking, O'erlooks the Bank and blats the flocking. We've made far more than good our motion, That England CLAIMS to rule the Ocean, And prov'd the problem quite as clear Her laws, with veering times will veer. 'Tis now high time to take, kind reader, Refreshment for yourself and pleader, For who, at once, on case of moment, Can speak or hear a whole huge comment:— That tho', if Yankies won't at war go, Will now and then just filch a cargo, Shall eke as clear as light be hinted, When next Republican is printed.

STREPHON AND EMMA.
STREPHON.
CUPID took a dart. And dipp'd it in your eye; He aim'd it at my heart, And then he let it fly.
His aim alas was true, Then pity me sweet Emma, For you, and none but you, Can heal the wound he ga' me.
I am but sixty-seven, And you are past sev'n teen, Come then my life, my heav'n, Bless your poor lovelock Swain.
Here on his knees—look down on him, Smile—and 'twill ease his smart, For heav'n's sake do not frown on him, 'Twill break his tender heart.
His fate to let him know, Most fervently he prays ye, For he must go to bed to you, Or else he must go crazy.
EMMA.
Rise Strephon, quickly rise, And be no longer sad; In me it hardly lies To let a twain like you go mad.
STREPHON.
Odzoooks! what do I hear Emma! EMMA. Strephon! what have I said to you?
STREPHON.
My duck, my dove, my dear Emma! Shall I then go to bed to you. Bristol. T.
