ALL persons who are indebted to me by bond or note, will please take notice that they are deposited in the hands of Dr. Cramer, of Charles-Town, for collection: As many of those notes, &c. are now due, and the remainder will become so in the course of a few days, it is expected that nothing farther will be necessary to obtain payment than this notice.
Those whose accounts are still open, will also take notice, that I shall be in Charles-Town in a few weeks, when I flatter myself that they too will come forward and discharge their respective balances.

Latest FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, August 14.
The state of preparations on the enemy's coast, and the positive orders issued to the regular army, and volunteers, combined with the opinion of professional men, all tend to impress the idea that the danger of invasion is greater than at any former period. The orders given to the volunteers are prompt and decisive.
August 16.
We have at length obtained authentic, but unpleasing information in regard to the combined French and Spanish squadrons. Yesterday at half past seven P. M. his majesty's ship Hero, of 74 guns, capt. Gardner, arrived at Portsmouth, with dispatches from Sir Robert Calder, stating that the combined fleet had gone into Ferrol. With the ships that joined them at sea and those lying in that port, they consisted of thirty-seven sail of the line.
Sir R. Calder has joined Lord Cornwallis off Brest.
August 18.
Dispatches were received yesterday evening by government, which state that Lord Nelson had returned to Gibraltar on the 30th ult. and that he proposed cruising between the Straits and Cape St. Vincents.
AMSTERDAM, August 8.
Three American ships from Baltimore and Charleston bound to Amsterdam, have been taken off the Texel by the English, and sent for England. The English admiral who cruises before the Texel, has declared that he has orders to send to England all ships bound for the Texel with West-India produce.
GREENOCK, August 21.
Admiral Calder joined admiral Cornwallis on the 11th; admiral Stirling, from off Rochefort, it is stated, has joined also, so that admiral Cornwallis has now upwards of 30 sail of the line, and will probably be still further strengthened by the force under lord Nelson or admiral Collingwood. He is immediately to be reinforced by several ships from Portsmouth and Plymouth, and in a few days he will be in such a state as to combat, with every probability of success, the whole combined forces of the enemy.
SALEM, Sept. 23.
Capt. Israel Williams, who arrived last evening from the Mediterranean, has obliged us with some minutes of intelligence which he had collected. He left Gibraltar the 23d of August; previous to which they had no certain accounts of lord Nelson; the report, however, was that he arrived at Ferrol two days before the combined fleets, and not finding them there, had gone back to Newfoundland in quest of them. Neither had they any particular account of the action between adm. Calder and the combined fleets; the official account of the Spanish admiral was published, and stated that they had gained a victory over the British, which would have been more complete if the French had not unfortunately been too far to the leeward, which brought the whole brunt of the battle upon the Spaniards: Finding that a Spanish and French ship were missing he gave over pursuing the British, and informs that the fleet though much dispersed, had arrived safe, part at Vigo and part at Ferrol.
Capt. W. informs, that a few days after the action the combined fleets formed a junction at Ferrol, & with the squadron in that port sailed for Cadiz, where they had arrived 30 in number, two days before the Friendship's sailing, and with five ships in that port formed a fleet of 35 sail of the line. This intelligence was received at Gibraltar 18 hours before capt. W. sailed, together with a further account, that the Carthagena squadron of 8 sail of the line (the same that was to have joined the Toulon squadron when bound down the Straits, but was not ready) had arrived at Malaga, 80 leagues from Gibraltar only. Just before sunset, says captain W. an easterly wind sprang up, with which the Carthagena squadron probably started, as they were in plain sight from the rock some time before dark, 8 sail of the line and many gun boats; this created a most serious alarm at Gibraltar. All was bustle. The alarm guns were constantly firing, which were heard on board this ship till ten o'clock that night, at which time the wind had increased to a very strong leverant, and the night being very dark it must have
given them a fine chance to pass the gut. At the time the alarm was given the squadron under Sir R. Bickerton was at anchor in Gibraltar Bay, consisting of the Queen of 98 guns, Tonnant 84, Minotaur and Belerophon 74s. two frigates and two gun brigs. This squadron had been some time waiting at Gibraltar for reinforcements from England, to go up and blockade the Carthagena squadron above mentioned. Immediately after the alarm, the squadron got under weigh, it was said to join the squadron off Cadiz, under Sir Rogers Curtis, who according to some accounts had 12 sail, and according to others 8 sail of the line.
Capt. W. was informed by the American Consul, and other gentlemen at Gibraltar, that a war between Spain and America appeared inevitable; and that the Spaniards were in daily expectation of war being declared against them by the United States. Mr. Pinckney, whose negotiation had failed, was expected at Tangier every moment; Mr. Bowdoin had thought it expedient not to proceed to Madrid. Mean time the Spaniards treat these things with contempt, and insult and capture the American flag daily; and the common observation is that our Government cannot much longer brook such hostile and insulting treatment.
BOSTON, September 30.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Our London papers, received on Saturday, are to the 14th August; four days later than the previously received dates. From these papers we have been enabled to make but few extracts, as they appear to be extremely barren of even speculative intelligence. No further advices of the operations of Russia, and the other continental powers, who were expected to cooperate against France, nor of the invasion, or the combined fleets, had reached England.
CHARLESTON, September 24.
The frigate Adams is still cruising off our Bar; several of the officers came up to town yesterday in a pilot boat.
The schooner St. Michael, from Baltimore bound to Jamaica, with a cargo of dry goods, was captured and sent into Barracoa about the 5th instant. The orders of general Ferrand, to the privateers commissioned by him, are, to capture all American vessels having on board dry goods to the value of more than one hundred dollars, which are bound to either an English or Spanish port, where those articles are not permitted to an entry, and on this principle the St. Michael will be undoubtedly condemned.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 28.
The late sudden change of the weather must not be looked upon as the most fortunate circumstance for those of a delicate constitution, unless its effects are promptly counteracted by a necessary change of raiment. Its continuance, however, will totally eradicate every seed of the great autumnal scourge, if any such were lurking among us; though from the best sources, as well as from popular belief, nothing that comes nearer to it than the common bilious fever, has made its appearance. As to Yellow Fever, therefore, the most prudent may now lay aside their precautions, and the most timid their fears; for we can undertake to assure them, that for this reason they have nothing worse to dread than a want of gratitude to HIM who hath most mercifully shielded us from that calamity, which may, truly be termed the pestilence that walketh in darkness
and the arrow that flyeth at noonday. If not sufficiently alive to the mercy which hath spared us, let a retrospect of those scenes which surrounded us in the autumn of 1800—let a view of the present forlorn situation of New-York and Philadelphia, with their silent, deserted streets, and their flying citizens, and the distress which even those of them witness who have not felt the barbed arrows of disease and death in their families—and above all, let a faint picture of the bereavement and affliction, which at this moment oppress the widow and the orphan, be brought to the imagination, and we may then have some idea of the weight of our obligations to the great and wise Ruler of all our destinies.
"It is a bad wind (says the proverb) which blows no one any good." We ought, therefore, to derive all the good we can from the "bad wind," or the calamity, which bears like a tempest upon our neighbours—we ought to draw good from it, in the correction of our morals, and in more frequent reflections on the instability of life and all sublunary things. If we derive not benefit in this way, we are not likely to obtain it in any other. To the mere man of bustle and business, it may appear otherwise; but if we had time to indulge a few moments on the subject, we could convince him that what it lendeth with one hand it snatcheth away with the other; and that our commercial and mercantile concerns are more permanently injured than benefited by this sore calamity upon our neighbours. When restored to the blessings of health, the merchants of the afflicted cities, finding the season for fall sales nearly or entirely over, will sell their goods at any price, rather than keep them for the moths of summer. The consequence will be, that if our own merchants lay but a moderate advance upon theirs, they will probably be excused of exorbitancy, for not selling as low as those of Philadelphia, or New-York, and their warehouses will be shunned, when those of the other cities can with safety be resorted to. This argument is used to establish in part the above position, not to countenance any exorbitant profit: on the contrary we hope that as many strangers will resort to our city this fall, who never dealt with us before, our merchants will exhibit a spirit of candor, liberality and urbanity, which will do away both the unjust prejudices which have existed against our city, and the evils which anything like exorbitancy will be sure to produce.
It is perhaps, no less fortunate for a large district of country, than it is for many of our mercantile friends that the SUPPLY OF SEASONABLE GOODS is better and more apportioned to their wants, than it ever has been with us before.
WASHINGTON, October 4.
Advices have been received from London by our government, as late as the 9th August, when our minister had introduced to the attention of the British government the subject of the recent captures of our vessels under the pretext of their being engaged in an illicit trade between the European and colonial possessions of the enemies of Great Britain.
From the New-England Palladium.
INSURRECTION AT ALGIERS.
We have accounts by the way of Salem, of an important insurrection at Algiers and that it continued to rage on the 3d of July. A Bordeaux paper of the 1st of August, received by capt. Bradford, contains the following article:
Translated for the Palladium.
ALGIERS, July 4.
No favorite, not even a Turk, ever enjoyed an influence over any Dey equal to that which the Jew Naftali Busnah had acquired over the present. He treated directly with the agents of the different powers, and suffered them not to approach the prince, whom he deceived, day and night, by means of his creatures, and whom he governed entirely, by means of satisfying all his whims. Busnah distributed places; he created and deposed the beys or governors of provinces, with whom he always kept up a private correspondence; he fixed the sums they were to send to the dey; he held the keys of the Khanza; he had monopolized all commerce, and suffered no competition; he governed the marine of Algiers, and that of all other ports of the kingdom; the corsairs sailed only when he judged it expedient, and directed their courses according to advices received by him from Europe, where he had numerous correspondents; he took possession of all prizes, without allowing them to be sold at auction; he, in short, violated all the ancient customs which
are here sacred laws. This system was supported by tyranny, mixed with the most notorious meanness, but joined with much courage. A conspiracy was formed against the government four years ago. A price was set upon Busnah's head and the pillage of his stores proclaimed. The prime minister had received fifteen months ago, several strokes of the yataghan, even at his post; the Dey was attacked and dangerously wounded by four Turks; and Busnah was the object of these various outrages. Busnah himself, a year ago, had miraculously escaped two stabs of a poignard, aimed at him by a Turk. He had not been terrified by any of these terrible warnings; he had paid no attention to the advice which had been given him; his insolence, on the contrary, had augmented and become, particularly, for the last seven or eight months, insupportable.
The indignation of the militia was extreme; the unprecedented scarcity that we suffered by reason of Busnah's sending all the grain of the kingdom to the enemies of government; the revolts of the province of Constantine, and that above all the most serious of Mascara; originating from his exactions on the beys, could not fail of increasing it. The 29th of last month, at 7 o'clock in the morning he was shot near the dey's house, with a pistol, which a Turk, named Yahia, fired at him, saying, "health to the governor of Algiers." Some noubadjes of the prince's guard ran, and would have arrested the assassin, who preserved a firm countenance, and taking in one hand the pistol which remained charged, and in the other his yataghan, said, "I have killed the miserable Jew who has so long tyrannised over you! you are Jews like him if you attempt to injure my person." The noubadjes retired, and the Turk went peaceably to his lodgings. Busnah was carried to his house where he died three hours after.
Yahia confessed to his comrades the action he had committed, and asked them if they were determined to defend him; he said, that if they would not, he would fly to the mountains. They all swore to die rather than deliver him up. Deputations from the other bodies of militia came to him, and made the same oath. A great number of inhabitants imitated the same example, and wished to kiss the hand chosen, as they said, by Providence, to deliver their country from the monster who had oppressed it. In the evening the Dey pardoned the assassin by sending him his chaplet, according to custom. It was necessary to accompany the body of Busnah with a numerous guard. The people were for burning it, and stoning those who carried it—The 30th very early the militia issued from the barracks; they massacred all the Jews they could find in the streets; they then went to the houses and stores of Busnah, which were broke open and pillaged. The Moors and barbarous population of the Pickets and Koubils, joined with the militia; they broke open the doors of all the Jews, and the plunder became general; they were encouraged by the cries of joy of the women in the streets and on the terraces.—After some hours of this dreadful havoc, the Dey, whose guard had remained immovable in the palace, dispatched some members of the Divan to the barracks, who were ordered to say to the militia, that the prince loved the Jews as little as they, and that if they desired it he would only suffer to remain in Algiers those who possessed the mechanical arts, the number of which was fixed by the convention anciently made by Barbarossa with the Hebrew nation.
This step of the Dey had the effect to calm the militia, who retired quietly to their barracks. The Echouch's and the Noubadjes stopped the carnage and pillage by degrees, and acted as a police guard the remainder of the day. Government caused the dead bodies that were found in the streets to be drawn by slaves to the place of Babel Oude, amidst the acclamations of an immense crowd. Nothing occurred on the 1st inst. except that the assassin of Busnah presented himself in arms before the Palace of the Dey, saying he had been informed he was to be punished, and was ready to submit to the sentence. The Prince sent him for answer, that his word was sacred, and that he had nothing to fear. The Jews carried the dead bodies from their houses to the burying places escorted by Casiabadjes. It appeared, however, certain that there were in the barracks many conspiracies forming to attack the palace and massacre the nobles. The difference of parties, and of opinions, upon the person who should be chosen to govern, but above all the gold which was lavished without measure, caused their projects to miscarry.

the 2d inst. all the Jews were embarked which could be contained in an imperial ship then in the port. The days of the 2d and 3d inst. were tranquil. The militia had it in their power to have stolen, and have been much offended that the excesses were attributed to a desire of pillage. They have returned freely every thing that had been carried to the barracks. It is in the houses of Moors, and in the hands of the Piskris and Khails, who have carried them to the mountains, that all the riches of the Jews are secreted. Various accounts are given of the number of deaths, but it is not so considerable as was first imagined, that of the wounded is considerable. There are fourteen or fifteen thousand Jews at Algiers who were rich in diamonds, pearls and jewels of all kinds. The most miserable Jewess carried on her head a Sarena of gold, which cannot be worth less than 300 dollars, these have all been taken from them. The losses of the Hebrew nation in this article are incalculable. The Aga has been at a few days journey from Algiers. The new Bey has not been able to get into, and the old is still shut up in Oran. Ammunition is sent by water and land. More than 1200 individuals, men, women and children have taken refuge, for the most part naked, in the house of the French Com. General, where his Majesty's flag has protected them. The government has caused it to be announced in the barracks last night that the Moors have intentions hostile to the Turks, and has engaged the militia not to lay down their arms. Is this a finesse in the government who wish to turn the attention of the militia from themselves? Or is it the result of the bad news received from Porren? Be it as it may, the government has this morning caused to be hung at the gate of Bab-Azoun three Moors, in whose houses it is pretended arms and powder have been discovered. The massacre and pillage of the Jews at Belide did not take place as has been reported.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the suite of col. Hammond to his friend in Augusta, (Georgia.)
KASKASKIAS. Eastern side of the Mississippi, Indiana territory, July 13, 1805.
On Saturday last I arrived at this place in company with col. Hammond, after one of the most fatiguing journeys perhaps ever performed through a country which might be said to be settled with Christians.
The vicissitudes which we have met with are almost innumerable. We have now come as well as I can be informed by my journal and other information about 850 miles and were 46 days out to this place. There are very few parts of the western country I admire, the land is either mountainous or low and flat, the high land is healthy and there is excellent water, but the manner in which it lies makes it difficult to cultivate. The low land is extremely fertile; all kinds of grain grow luxuriantly, the water however is intolerably bad. The only tract of country which seems desirable to settle in, is Cumberland tract, Gallatin, from which I last wrote you. There are vast numbers of prairies in this territory, they are level plains from 12 to 2 miles square, scarce a twig or switch to be cut off of them; grass grows to a great height; early of a morning, just as the sun dawns from the eastern hills it gives the prairies a beautiful appearance, and there being nothing but green grass, a diversity of flowers, with now and then a clump of oaks—the prospect is almost picturesque—always beautiful or grand. This country is badly watered—hence people are deterred from settling in the interior, and an act of congress preventing slavery, prevents emigrants, particularly those of opulence; it seems more than probable, it will be years before there will be refinement of manners, or that the arts and sciences will flourish here. But a man who travels should leave all his prejudices behind him, and not write his friend any thing but what is correct. I must do these French the justice to say, that I believe they are much more honest and peaceable than the Americans, who are settled here, and who are mostly dissipated. Indeed the Americans of this place seem to look upon a stranger as one whom they shall never see again, and think themselves privileged to pluck him. This place (Kaskaskia) was settled two years before Philadelphia, and the first bell ever imported in America, I have seen hanging in the Roman church—Although this place is now so desolate, it was once settled by a number of French of the first character and fortune. To see the low standing chimneys and large buildings tumbling into ruin, makes me feel considerable regret, and must fill any person of sensibility with awe. The only tribe of Indians here, are the Kaskaskias, they are about one hundred in number—and live in huts in the suburbs. I have just returned from seeing them, where I set a squaw to make me a pair of moccasins. They can produce about forty or fifty warriors—are small Indians, and seem to be in a miserable situation. On Tuesday last, col. Hammond, set out for St. Louis, leaving Mrs. Hammond at col. Edgar's—Our wagons and horses are about four miles out of town, at a place we got to rest the negroes and recruit the horses.
Gen. Wilkinson passed through here a few days before our arrival and arrived at St. Louis on the 4th inst. The troops, citizens, and several hundred Indians, were drawn out and stationed at the foot of a high bridge where the general had to pass, to salute him on his arrival, with direction, from the commanding officer not to fire a salute till he had crossed the bridge. But just as the general and his escort had got on the top of a bridge 30 or 40 feet high, they commenced a fire, which together with the yell of the Indians, threw the general, corps and the officers, &c. escorting him into a general confusion; several had like to have been tossed off the bridge, I learned no accident of consequence had happened.
Loaf sugar 75 cts. per lb. Brown do. 1 dol. per lb. Tea and coffee none.
It was with difficulty the citizens could procure a few of these articles at St. Louis, for the entertainment given gen. Wilkinson, on his arrival; they had to give one dollar a pound for a barrel of brown sugar, which was all that was to be had in that city. I have not tasted tea or coffee for many weeks past.
Just as I was closing this letter, I received accounts from col. Hammond, at St. Louis, he informs us that he has rented a house, and intends being with us here to-morrow. I omitted mentioning to you, that we are a next neighbour of Mr. Bell formerly of your city, he is much dissatisfied with this territory, and will leave this early in October next for Georgia; the old gentleman is much respected here.
MARTINSBURG, October 11.
We are informed, that two companies have been formed for the purpose of cutting a canal on each side of the Ohio, so as to admit boats to pass and repass with convenience. [Mer. Adv.]
Col. Burr left Lexington on the 4th ult. He is said to have gone from that place to Vincennes, from thence to St. Louis, thence to Nashville, Knoxville, Charleston, and then by water to Orleans. [Ibid.]
The result of the Election in the different wards in Philadelphia for the Inspectors of the General Election, has been favorable to the Constitutionalists, who have gained eleven out of fourteen wards. This augurs well to the Friends of the Constitution and M c Kean.
The votes given by the Constitutionalists were 1198, while those by the Snyderites (who no doubt brought all their force in action) amounted only to 901.
It is believed the majority on the side of the Constitutionalists would have been much greater, had not the inclemency of the weather (which never hinders a democrat from an election) prevented the attendance of many friends who were absent from the city.
In the Northern Liberties (Duane's strong hold) the Snyderites were successful; they brought to the field 591—their opponents 377.
Thus there is a majority in the city and Northern Liberties in favor of the Constitutionalists of 83, without including Southwark and all the other districts in the county of Philadelphia—in all of which there will be, says the Philadelphia Daily Advertiser, majorities for the Constitutional Tickets. [Washington Federalist.]
On the 21st ultimo Mr. Pennington's spacious sugar house in Philadelphia, with the utensils and a large stock of materials, were entirely destroyed by fire. The loss sustained it is said cannot be less than $60,000. [Ibid.]
The politics of Pennsylvania, to use a simile, are now rolling on in impetuous billows to a flood tide, but whether M c Kean or Snyder shall sink in the "vast deep" is yet problematic. The exertions made by the constitutionalists and
the friends of the people in support of the respective partisans will, in all probability, be uncommonly strenuous. According to the following article from the United States' Gazette of Philadelphia, the friends of M c Kean and the constitution have been so far quite successful.
It seems that the friends of the constitution are carrying all before them in the township elections.
In the borough of Lancaster their tickets had 416 votes.
The friends of the people could muster only 176 of the people to vote for their ticket.
The constitutionalists in Germantown carried their inspectors 97 to 7; and in Frankford 46 to 10.
At the meeting at Wolmelasdorf, Lancaster county, there were 109 electors for M c Kean and only 3 for Snyder.
We hear generally that in Delaware and Chester counties the friends of Snyder and the people suffered a great defeat, but have not learned the particulars.
Our country has scarcely concluded a peace with one foe; when a more formidable seems ready to take up arms against her. The Tripolitans have scarcely learned that the American flag will not tamely submit to insult and injury, and that Americans will not, like some European states, pay tribute where no tribute is due; when the Spaniards, regardless as it would seem of individual right and national respect, treat us with the utmost arrogance, and appear determined to put both our patience and our prowess to the test. The time apparently is not far distant when this country must either debase herself by submitting to indignities the most disgraceful, or meet this insolent enemy in the fight; which is the more honorable alternative let such men as Bainbridge and Eaton decide. [N. Y. D. Adv.]
The city inspector reports 96 deaths during the week ending the 27th ultimo. [New-York Herald.]
It is said, that GIDEON GRANGER, Esq. Postmaster General, died lately at his seat in Connecticut. [Poulson.]
To Drunkards.
AN EXTRACT.
"A MORE affecting spectacle cannot be exhibited, than a person into whom the infernal spirit of drunkenness, generated by long habits of intemperance, has entered. It is more or less affecting, according to the station the person fills in a family, or in society, who is possessed by it. Is he a husband? How deep the anguish which rends the bosom of his wife? Is she a wife? Who can measure the shame and aversion which she excites in her husband? Is he the father or is she the mother, of a family of children?—See their averted looks from their parent, and their blushing looks at each other? Is he a magistrate? Or has he been chosen to fill a high and respectable station in the councils of his country? What humiliating fears of corruption in the administration of the laws, and of the subversion of public order and happiness appear in the countenances of all who see him! Is he a minister of the gospel? Here language fails me: if angels weep, it is at such a sight!
"In pointing out the many evils produced by ardent spirits, let us not pass by their effects upon the estates of the persons who are addicted to them. Are they inhabitants of cities? Behold their houses stript gradually of their furniture, and pawned, or sold by a constable, to pay tavern debts. See! their names upon record in the dockets of every court, and whole pages of newspapers filled with advertisements of their estates for public sale. Are they inhabitants of country places? Behold! their houses with shattered windows, their barns with leaky roofs, their gardens overrun with weeds, their fields with broken fences, their hogs without yokes, their sheep without wool, their cattle and horses without fat, and their children filthy, and half clad, without manners, principles or morals. This picture of agricultural wretchedness is seldom of long duration. The farms and property thus neglected, and depreciated, are seized and sold for the benefit of a group of creditors. The children that were born with the prospect of inheriting them, are bound out to service in the neighbourhood; while their parents, the unworthy authors of their misfortunes, ramble into new and distant settlements, alternately fed on their way by the hand of charity, or a little casual labour.
"Thus we see poverty and misery, crimes and infamy, diseases and death,
are all the natural and usual consequences of the intemperate use of ardent spirits.
"Death has been classed among the consequences of hard drinking. But it is not death from the immediate hand of the Deity, nor from any of the instruments of it which were created by him. It is death from Suicide. Yes—thou poor degraded creature, who art daily lifting the poisonous bowl to thy lip—cease to avoid the unhallowed ground in which the self-murdered is interred, and wonder no longer that the sun should shine, the rain fall, and the grass look green upon his grave; thou art perpetrating gradually, by the use of ardent spirits, what he has affected suddenly, by opium, or a halter. Considering how many circumstances from surprise, or derangement, may palliate his guilt, or that (unlike yours) it was not preceded or accompanied with any other crime, it is probable his condemnation will be less than yours at the day of judgment."
Among the many advantages arising from cultivated sentiment, one of the first and most truly valuable, is that delicate complacency of mind, which leads us to consult the feelings of those with whom we live, by shewing a disposition to gratify them, as far as in our power, and by avoiding whatever has a contrary tendency.
They must, indeed, have attended little to what passes in the world, who do not know the importance of this disposition; who have not observed that the want of it often poisons the domestic happiness of families, whose felicity every other circumstance concurs to promote.

BALLAD—By Dibbs.
IF ever a sailor was fond of good sport, 'Mouset the girls, why that sailor was I, Of all sizes and sorts, I'd a wife at each port, But, when that I saw'd Polly Fly, I holl'd her my lovely and gov'd her a kiss, And swore to bring up once for all And from that time black Barnaby spic'd us to this, I've been constant and true to my Poll. And yet now all sorts of temptations I've stood, For I afterwards sail'd round the world, And a queer set we saw of the devil's own brood, Wherever our sails were unfurl'd: Some with faces like charcoal, and o- thers like chalk All ready one's heart to o'erhaul, Don't you go to love me, my good girl, said I—walk, I've sworn to be constant to Poll.
I met with a squaw out at India beyond, All in glass and tobacco pipes dress'd, What a dear pretty monster! so kind and so fond, That I ne'er was a moment at rest, With her bob at her nose, and her quaw, quaw, quaw, All the world like a Berthelmy doll, Says I 'You Miss Copperakin just hold your jaw, I've sworn to be constant to Poll.'
Then one near Sumatra, just under the line, As fond as a witch in a play, 'I loves you,' says she, 'and just only be mine, 'Or, by poison, I'll take you away.' 'Curse your kindness,' says I, 'but you can't frighten me, 'You don't catch a gudgeon this haul, 'If I do take your ratsbane, why then, do you see, 'I shall die true and constant to Poll.'
But I 'scap'd from them all, tawny, lily and black, And merrily weather'd each storm, And my neighbors to please full of won- ders came back, But, what's better, I'm grown pretty warm. And so now to sea I shall venture no more, For you know, being rich, I've no call, So I'll bring up young tars, do my duty a-shore, And live and die constant to Poll.
