FROM THE MINERVA. THE DEFENCE—No. XXVI. [CONCLUDED.] The British for more than a hundred years excluded foreigners from a share in their East India trade; for a few years past they relaxed in the rigor of this system. We have availed ourselves of this circumstance and shared with them in their East India commerce. But this permission can be viewed only as an occasional departure from a general law; which may be affected by a change of circumstances, the duration of which therefore is uncertain. The loss and inconvenience to which our merchants may be exposed from the prosecution of a trade, depending on regulations arising from inconstant circumstances, and which frequently vary, may in some measure be guarded against, where the scene is not remote, and the alterations in the laws can be known soon after they are made. But in the Asiatic and our other distant commerce, it is of importance that the laws under which an adventure is begun, should be permanent. Losses to a considerable amount have been experienced by some of our merchants, who have undertaken distant voyages in the expectation of the continuation of these temporary regulations. The trade, for example, to the Cape of Good Hope (which the Dutch Government ordinarily monopolize to their own people) was some time since opened to foreigners, and some of our citizens profited by it; but others, who had engaged in large adventures to that market, suffered no small disappointment and loss in finding themselves excluded upon their arrival by a repeal of the permission to foreigners to trade there. It must then be considered as an important object secured, in respect to the principal portion of our India trade, that alone which is capable of being pursued as a branch of our commerce, that the treaty turns a favor into a right, and that our direct intercourse with the British territories in the East Indies, in all respects as broad as that of Great Britain herself, (except in the articles of rice, naval and military stores, when Great Britain is engaged in war) instead of being an uncertain and hazardous trade, as heretofore from its precarious nature it has been, will hereafter be as certain as any in which our merchants shall engage.
It is further alleged by way of objection to this article, that it does not secure to our citizens a right to reside and settle in the British territories in India, without the consent of the British local government. The observation that has been made on a similar objection in respect to the coalting trade in India, is equally applicable to this. The article leaves both subjects precisely in the situation in which it found them. But let it be remembered, that the disproportion between the numbers of the native Indians and the foreigners inhabiting their country, is more than one thousand of the former to one of the latter—that the most exact discipline and subordination among the foreigners are therefore essential to the preservation of the British authority over that country—that no foreigner, or even a British subject, is allowed to reside there, except in the character of a servant of the company, or of a licensed inhabitant—that it has long been held as a sound opinion, that untrained liberty to the Europeans to emigrate to, and settle among the Indians, would in a short time overturn and destroy the British Empire in India—This danger would by no means be diminished by conferring a right upon the Americans freely to reside and settle in India—that we shall be allowed to reside and settle there by permission of the local British government, is fairly to be inferred from the article.—But an absolute right to an entire liberty on these points, might evidently be dangerous to the British government over India—and in prudence could not have been stipulated.
The advantageous footing on which the trade is placed is so evident that those who had no reliance on the objections urged against it, but who, nevertheless, have been unwilling to allow the treaty any merit on the score of this article, have endeavored to show that our India trade is of little importance and small value. Whatever article can be supplied by the India company, may likewise be supplied by us, and some of them on better terms by us, than by them:—The reports of the committee of the directors of the East-India company, published in 1793, when their charter was renewed, afford useful information on this subject, and disclose facts which show the advantages that we shall possess in this trade over the company. They admit, that in the articles of iron, wines, canvases, cordage, arms, and naval and military stores, foreigners can enter into a beneficial competition with them; and that canvases and cordage, and we may add, all naval stores, and several other articles, can always be furnished in India by foreigners, cheaper than by the company.
If we appreciate the advantage we have over them in such articles of supply as are of our own growth or production, as well as in the wines not unusually procured by touching at Madeira on the outward voyages to India, and compare it with the advantage that they have over us in the few articles of choice, which they purchase at the first hands, and which we must import in order to re-export to India, it is probable that our cargoes to India, will on the whole be laid in as advantageously, if not more so, than those of the India company. If we consider the vast extent of territory, the numerous population, and the established manufactures of India, so far from supposing that a free trade to that country will be of little value to a young and enterprising nation whose manufactures are still in their infancy, we ought rather to conclude that it is a country with which we should be solicitous to establish a free trade and intercourse.
Every one who has bestowed the slightest attention upon the foreign manufactures consumed in our country, must have observed the general and increasing use of those of India, owing to the better terms on which they can be procured from Asia than from Europe. Though no document is at hand that will show the value of the annual importations from India, it is stated by Mr. Coxe, in his view of the United States, that the amount in value of our importations from Asia is more than one fifth of the value of our whole annual consumption of foreign commodities. It is true that the porcelain, silks, nankeens, and reas of China, form a large portion of this annual importation. But after a full deduction on this account, a great and profitable branch of our commerce will be found in our trade to the East-Indies. It should be remembered also, that it is not the consumption alone of our own country that regulates the quantity of India goods that we import; other countries have been supplied through us with the fabrics and productions of both India and China—The treaty will enlarge this demand.*
Several circumstances calculated to give our trade with Asia an advantage against foreign competition and a preference to our trade with Europe, are deserving of attention. First. The direct trade between us and Asia, including the East-Indies as well as China, cannot be prosecuted by the British East-India company, their ships being obliged to return directly to the port of London and there discharge.
Second. The difference between the duties on Asiatic goods imported in American bottoms direct from Asia, and the duties imposed on the same goods imported in foreign bottoms from Asia or from Europe; being on all articles a favorable discrimination, and in the articles of teas, the duties on those imported in foreign bottoms being fifty per cent. higher than on those imported in American bottoms.
This particular difference of duties on Asiatic goods, imported in American and in foreign bottoms, so favourable to our own navigation, will not be affected by the right reserved by Great-Britain to impose countervailing duties in certain cases; that right being relative to the intercourse between the United States and the British territories in Europe.
Third. The European intercourse with Asia is in most cases conducted by corporations or exclusive companies—and all experience has proved that in every species of business (that of banking and a few analogous employments excepted) in conducting of which a competition shall exist between individuals and corporations, the superior economy, enterprize, zeal, and perseverance of the former will make them an overmatch for the latter; and that while individuals acquire riches, corporations engaged in the same business often sink their capital and become bankrupt. The British East India company are more overburdened with various terms and conditions, which they are required to observe in their Asiatic trade, and which operate as so many advantages in favor of their rivals in the supply of foreign markets. The company, for example, are obliged annually to invest a large capital in the purchase of British manufactures to be exported and sold by them in India; the loss on these investments is considerable every year, as few of the manufactures which they are obliged to purchase will sell in India for their cost and charges—besides from the policy of protecting the home manufacturers the company are in great measure shut out from supplying India goods for the home consumption of Great Britain. Most of the goods which they import from India, are re-exported with additional charges incurred by the regulations of the company to foreign markets, in supplying of which we shall be their rivals, as from the information of intelligent merchants, it is a fact, that Asiatic goods including the teas of China, are on an average cheaper within the United States than in Great Britain.
Fourth. The manufacturers of Asia are not only cheaper here than in Europe, but in general they are cheaper than goods of equal quality of European manufacture—So long as from the cheapness of subsistence, and the immense population of India (the inhabitants of the British territories only being estimated at forty millions) the labour of a manufacturer can be procured from two to three pence sterling per day, the similar manufactures of Europe aided with all their ingenious machinery is likely on a fair competition in almost every instance to be excluded by those of India. So apprehensive have the British government been of endangering their home manufactures by the permission of Asiatic goods to be consumed in Great Britain, that they have imposed eighteen per cent. duties on the gross sales of all India muslins, which is equal to twenty two per cent on their prime cost—The duties on coarser India goods are still higher, and a long catalogue of Asiatic articles, including all staines and printed goods, is prohibited from being consumed in Great Britain. The British manufacturers were not satisfied even with this prohibitory system. And on the late renewal of the company's charter, they urged the total exclusion from British consumption of all India goods, and moreover proposed that the company should be held to import annually from India a large amount of raw materials, and particularly cotton, for the supply of the British manufacturers.
These facts are noticed to show the advantages to be derived from a free access to the India market, from whence we may obtain those goods which would be extensively consumed even in the six manufacturing nations of Europe, did not the security of their manufactures require their Exclusion.
Perhaps from the certainty of the rights which it confers, it may invite foreign capital to extensive enterprizes, in which the United States will be an entre-pot between India and a great part of Europe.
Great Britain has made it a serious point, in which she has in more than one instance succeeded, to engage foreign powers (the Emperor was one) to renounce establishments, for carrying on the trade with India, from their own territories: yet this treaty opens all her territories to us. And yet it is not only denied merit, but criminal, in this very particular.

Foreign Intelligence. LONDON, September 16. The passage of the Rhine by the French Arms ordered by the Convention lies with a view of forcing the German Empire to a peace, than to prop its own tottering authority, and to overthrow, by the sanction of victorious armies, that part of the nation which is against the decree of re-election. September 25.
By letters from the Hague of the 15th inst. we are informed, that a report is in circulation there of an embargo having been laid on all foreign vessels, the motive of which measure was not yet known. In consequence of a regulation of the Representatives of the People of Holland, all the inhabitants of that City, who held any considerable offices under the ancient government, have left it, and repaired to their respective provinces. We learn from Vienna, that preparations are making there for the reception of the daughter of Louis XVI. who is to reside in the Imperial palace, called, Die-Burg. By a gentleman just returned from Paris, we are informed, that by a secret article of the Treaty of Peace between France and Spain, the latter is to furnish the former with 23 sail of the line.
ELBERFELD, Sept. 8. The French having effected the passage of the Rhine, the baggage of the Austrians, with a number of waggons and cattle, arrived here the night before last, and several houses were appointed for the accommodation of the wounded. About 11 o'clock the whole Austrian army arrived, and this day their rear guard: they have proceeded on their way to Schwelm. At nine o'clock this day the French army arrived, and pursued their route thro' this place, partly towards Solingen and Dusseldorf, and to-morrow, we are ordered to provide quarters for 1200 Infantry, under the command of Desebre.
NEUWIED, Sept. 8. Our troops on receiving the news that the French had effected the passage of the Rhine, at Dusseldorf, received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march, and were under arms through the whole of last night. We were here the more apprehensive of an attack from the French, as we had heard for the two preceding days a violent cannonade. The inhabitants however, having in some measure freed themselves from the fears of a cannonade, had begun to bring back their goods which they had before begun to move for the greater safety, when this day a heavy shower of balls fell upon our town, and several parts of it were set on fire at the same time: happily, however, the flames were soon extinguished. At present every thing is quiet again. To night the battalions, which are to reinforce the Prince of Wittenberg, and Count d'Erbach, who command on the Lower Rhine, will set off. Their place is to be occupied here by a detachment from the environs of Mentz; and vigorous measures are taken to prevent the enemy from crossing the Rhine in this neighbourhood. The imperialists have taken a strong position near Uckerath.
According to our advices from the Lower Rhine, part of the French, who crossed at Oerdingen, met with a vigorous resistance from an Austrian advanced post. Count d'Erbach, with several troops, came to it's aid, but was obliged to retreat, being in danger of being surrounded by another French column. He afterwards joined the Duke of Wittenberg behind the Sieg.
HAGEN, Sept. 9. Austrian troops are passing through here continually: the Duke of Wittenberg is already here. The poor Austrians have had no bread for three days; but, notwithstanding, they behave exceedingly well.—All the French Emigrants have left us. General d'Manstein, and Counsellor Rempentrop, from Ham, are here, providing accommodation for their troops. Yesterday we heard a heavy cannonade.
FRANCKFORT, Sept. 10. All that we positively know at present respecting the crossing of the Rhine by the French, is that that enterprize has been made with success. With regard to the details of this expedition, a variety of letters dictated either by passion or credulity, speak so contradictorily, that we are as yet unable to form no one precise idea. If we may credit some of our gazettes, the Austrian troops commanded by General Count Erbach, who, on the 10th inst. in the morning, were still at Angerort, two leagues beyond Duffeldorf, and at Kayserwerth, and the troops commanded by the Prince of Wittenberg, which were behind Duffeldorf on the same day, formed a junction on the bank of the Sieg on the 7th or 8th, that is to say, that the former marched from 10 to 12 leagues, and the latter from 15 to 18, in two days; but armies do not travel so fast. We have every reason to think that the troops which were seen near the Sieg were marching to the succour of those which covered the Rhine from Duffeldorf to Angerort, and which will be obliged to retreat by the Wipper to Solingen and Elberfeld, as soon as the French shall have made themselves masters of the right bank of the Rhine, by the possession not only of Duffeldorf, but the territory above Duffeldorf; for of the four points at which the French are said to have crossed the Rhine, there are only two at which their having passed is certain. It is now certain, that on the night of the 5th, 20,000 French crossed the Rhine below (and not above) Urdingen, turned by the woods of Duffeldorf, the extremity of the Austrian line at Angerort, and forced them to retreat precipitately on the morning of the 6th. During this operation, which was covered by a false attack opposite Urdingen, the French effected another passage, far more important, and more dangerous to the Austrian army: 3000 of their volunteers crossed the Rhine, a league above Duffeldorf during the night, attacked a redoubt constructed in the village of Ham, and took possession of it. It appears that when masters of this post, they received a very considerable reinforcement, and invested Duffeldorf, of which they obtained posses-

on. By this operation the army commanded by General Count d'Erbach, might have been cut off from the rest of the troops which defended the Rhine above Dusseldorf: but it would appear that, being seconded by the Prince of Wurtemberg, he took advantage of the moment when the French were not yet in force at Dusseldorf, to accomplish his retreat towards the Wipper. There is even a report that he defeated them.
NEW-YORK, November 25.
On Thursday last was concluded the arguments of counsel in the libel of Don Diego de Pintado, against the French privateer La Vengeance, Capt. John Berard claimant; and also in the two informations which had been filed ex officio by the attorney of this district against the same Schooner. The remarks of the counsel upon the evidence and law, consumed more than a week.
The following we understand, is a summary of the allegations of the parties and of the questions of law arising out of them.
The libellant alleges, that a Spanish ship, the Princess of Asturias, was made a prize of upon the high seas by a French privateer La Vengeance, but that the said privateer was furnished, armed and fitted out in some port of the United States, and therefore prays the district court to restore the prize to its former owners.
The Captain of the privateer admits the capture on the high seas, but denies any armament within the United States, and also protests against the jurisdiction of the Court.
The first information also stipulates, that the privateer had been seized as forfeited to the United States, because "she was fitted out and armed within some port of the United States, with intent that she should be employed in the service of a foreign state, to cruise upon the subjects of the king of Spain, and yet at peace with the United States, and because four swivels and ten guns had been procured within the United States, for the equipment of the privateer, with the intent aforesaid, &c.
The second information states, that the privateer had been seized as forfeited to the United States, because she had, during a certain prohibitory act, exported from the United States, certain cannon, muskets, and gunpowder, to Port-de-Paix.
To this first information Captain Berard filed a claim, and to the second a claim was interposed by the French consul residing at this port, denying the several charges aforesaid.
Many witnesses were examined, and a great number of affidavits were read upon the hearing, which had been taken at Port-de-Paix and Cape-Francois.
Beside the questions of fact which naturally occurred, we understand several law-points were made for the court's consideration, particularly the following:
 1. Whether the armament stated in the libel, if proved, makes a forfeiture of the prize, and obliges a neutral nation to restore it to the original owners.  2. If such restitution be the duty of a neutral nation, whether the necessary interposition does not appertain conclusively to the government or executive of the country.  3. Whether the privateer be liable to forfeiture in the hands of a bona fide purchaser.  4. Whether the value of the articles exported, ought not, according to the act, to amount to five hundred and fifty dollars, to occasion a forfeiture. 
The Counsel for the libellant were, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Troup.
The Counsel for the claimant were, Mr. de Ponceau, Mr. B. Livingston, and Mr. E. Livingston.
The pleadings were very lengthy, and it is agreed, that all the gentlemen acquitted themselves well; but as the matter is still sub judice , we deem it improper either to state the arguments of the respective counsel, or to hazard any opinion about the event, as much property and some national questions are involved in the controversy. We are confident that the learned judge, in whose hands the causes are, will do justice to all parties.
Mode of preserving butter.
Mr. Printer, The following extract from the Gentleman's Magazine for August 1795, appears to be highly worthy of republication; by giving it a place in your paper, you will do an agreeable thing to your fellow citizens of the country and will oblige
A FARMER.
The following mode of curing butter is practised by some in the parish of Udny and that neighbourhood which gives to their butter a great superiority above that of others:
"Take two parts of the best common salt, one part sugar and one part salt petre, beat them up together and blend them completely. Take one ounce of this composition for every sixteen ounces of butter work it well into the mass and close it for use."
I know no simple improvement in economicks greater than this is when compared with the usual mode of curing butter by means of common salt alone. I have seen the experiment fairly made of one part of the butter made at one time thus cured, and the other with salt alone. The difference was inconceivable. I should suppose that in any open market the one would sell for 30 per cent more than the other. The butter cured with the mixture appeared of a rich marrowy consistence and fine colour and never acquires a brittle hardness nor tastes of salt; the other is comparatively hard and brittle approaching more nearly the appearance of tallow and is much saltier to the taste. I have eaten of butter cured with the composition that had been kept three years and was as sweet as at first. But it deserves to be noted that butter thus cured requires to stand from three weeks to a month before it be began to be used.
If it be sooner opened the salts are not sufficiently blended with it; and sometimes the coolness of the nitre will then be perceived which totally disappears afterwards.
HUDSON, Nov. 19.
Extract of letter from an officer in the western army, to his friend in this city, dated Fort Fidin, Hancock county, state of Georgia, 30th Sept. "I am sorry to inform you, that a few days ago, five Indians came into this neighbourhood as friends, and after getting somewhat intoxicated with liquor, they broke open a chest, for the purpose of getting more liquor (as is usual for them in such a situation) without however intending any other harm. They then sat down near the house from whence they took the liquor, and got quite intoxicated; while in this situation a militia Capt. with some men came upon them and made them prisoners, and after having conversed with them some time, tied them, and cut their throats one by one with a knife, scalped them and threw them into the river. Government has not as yet interfered, but this act of cruelty and inhumanity, disgraceful even to the very savages, calls for the severest and most exemplary punishment; the Indians will take satisfaction, and as their laws require two for one, I soon expect to hear of the murder of some innocent families."

So virulent are the Jacobins, says a correspondent, against the President (finding him rather in their way,) that in the Chronicle of yesterday, and in Edes's Funding system Paper, they have aimed at preventing the ministers from noticing on the approaching thanksgiving the Friend of Columbia . They should have proceeded further, and requested the prayers of all good men, that Jacobinism might be triumphant, that Anarchy and civil war with all its bloody adherents might pervade our land so that they might have an opportunity of stepping unperceived into the political saddle. Contemptible sycophants! the clergy of America cannot be played upon in this way; they are independent, and will feel it to be their duty to pray for the constituted authorities. Our clergy are really independent. In general, they are neither beggars nor rich men. Their farms are far inferior to their parishioners; but they are known in the different towns where they reside, to be men of discernment and Republicans--great were their exertions in the American revolution; and no one can believe that they are "Old Tories and Aristocrats" now. Their prayer, it is presumed, uniformly will be--"PEACE TO OUR ISRAEL," and punishment to TRAITORS. Mercury.

Mr. FENNO, I OBSERVE in your paper of last evening, under the Richmond head, that a motion made in the House of Delegates in Virginia, for "leave to bring in a bill for subjecting lands to be sold under execution for the payment of debts" was negatived. It is easy to see how this may affect the merchants of this and other states to whom the Virginians are and may be indebted: I would therefore suggest the consideration of our Legislature (which is now about meeting,) whether justice and policy do not require that a law should be passed exempting real estate in this state from sale under execution for satisfying any debts that are or may be due from any of our citizens to those of Virginia, or their assigns. There is frequently much equity in the Lex Talionis .
A sufferer by their Law of VIRGINIA.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
M. FENNO, CAN it be true that the Assembly of the State of Virginia have lately refused to make lands liable for debts due to their brethren of the other States? Those States where Republican principles have destroyed this vestige of the feudal and arbitrary system. Is there now a power to compel Virginia to alter a law so injurious to their honor, and to their professions, while their neighbors continue to file themselves Democrats and Republicans? If the other States tamely suffer such an arbitrary infringement of that equality which formed the basis of the Union, will not the Virginians despise them hereafter? Will they not bring forward their general tables to prove by defeat, the difference between their Patricians, and the Plebeians of the other States? Will not their Nobles attempt to dictate to the commons of the free States, on all political and important questions? Yes, Sir--if they are tamely permitted to pass such an important advantage over the other States of the United States, our children will suffer for it; and if we do not restore their fathers' rights; therefore it is my fixed opinion that some thing ought to be done immediately to bring them to a sense of justice and their duty as good Republicans, to which title they have no pretensions, if they add to the holding of slaves the entailment of lands to the rich families of the State. The entailment of lands is a bad law, which places a species of property out of the reach of creditors, or States who have made no such laws in return, or be too much reproached. How will a member of Congress from Virginia dare to hold up his head among freemen, who despise hereditary honors, and who have a right to question the honor of men who, while they, the Republicans, have virtually effected the establishment of an Aristocratic Nobility. AUE REPUBLICAN.

Mr. FENNO, FUEL being so dear in City, oak wood selling at 7 1-2 dollars and hickory at 12 dollars a cord, it is worthy the attention of the patriotic philosopher and mechanic to devise means for lessening the consumption thereof. A general idea of the use of clothes, and tight &c. is to keep out the cold; whereas they are to keep in the heat. We should consider if there be no heat within, that tight hot and warm clothes would contribute but little towards producing warmth to any object; they should turn their attention to the use of means of retaining the heat, by preventing its escaping up the chimney or thro' any holes in upper part of the house or room, which it will have liberty, because heat being lighter than cold, will ascend quickly by any conveyance, the rich air will pass, and cold air will supply its place below. These ideas are new to me--I have

The emigration to this country this fall surpasses that of any other season--and we are informed, that the banks of the Monongahela, from M c Kee's port to Redstone, are lined with people intending for the settlements on the Ohio, and Kentucky.
As an instance of the increasing prosperity of this part of the state, land that two or three years since was sold for ten shillings per acre, will now bring upwards of three pounds.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
Petitions are likely to be in circulation in Virginia, New-York, New-Jersey, and in some of the lower counties of this state, addressed to the House of Representatives of Congress, praying that they will withhold their aid in carrying into effect the treaty with Great Britain.--An attempt, no doubt, will be made to procure signers in this country, but, it is hoped, the inhabitants will consider their own interest, and act accordingly. It is admitted on all hands, that the surrender of the western posts will be of the utmost importance to this country, and as the United States had but half the bargain to make it could not be expected that every article of the treaty would be decidedly in our favor. It therefore behoves the inhabitants of this country to be silent respecting it, until by experience it is proven to be inimical to the interest of the United States.

FROGMORE FETE, AN ODE FOR MUSIC,
For the first of April,
BY PETER PINDAR, ESQ.
'TWAS at the royal seat on Frogmore Green, With Britain's gold, uprear'd by Britain's Queen; To charm a court, a Princess turn'd her head; At length deliver'd was her brain, And, lo! on Frogmore's happy, happy plain, 5 Wonders on wonders soon were brought to bed.
Sublime the Pair of England late! Staring with most enormous state, The family of Orange by their side; 10 With all the pretty offspring round, That struck the mob with awe profound; Sweet State! untainted by one grain of pride!
And bold beside them sat each patient peer, Carpmcal, and courtly Chesterfield, were there; Macnamus, flat-clad Sal'by, 4 own friends, Jealous, 15 The Guards of England's Sovereigns--furious fellows!
With combs, puffs, powder-bags, their temples bound, In golden letters, Guinea Pigs, around. But Pitt and Grenville were not there, 20 To whom a puppet show is dear--
Want of decorum on a certain debt, Kept off the Pair from royal sport, Whose want of manners put the court. Like four small beer, indeed, upon the fret.
And now to charm our gracious Q--and K--, 25 Ascending on a public stage, The tuneful wonder of the age, Hight Inledon, arose sublime to sing
Of war he chant--glorious war; Of millions, millions, sent afar. 30 To aid of falling monarchy the cause; When lo! the lofty great all smil'd applause.
Of taxes now the great musician sung-- The court, the chorus join'd, And fill'd the wond'ring wind; 35 And taxes, taxes, through the garden rung.
Monarchs first of taxes think: Taxes are a monarch's treasure: "Sweet the pleasure, "Rich the treasure;" 40 Monarchs love a guinea's chink.
And now to avarice he turn'd the strain, That suck'd a nation like a sponge-- And down to dissipation's maddening train, Who in distres a people plunge. 45
Now to poor France his plaintive voice he tun'd-- When, mark! the melting audience almost swoon'd! The song far now a graver subject chose-- 50
"Who is to pay performers that compose "This charming fete of Frogmore?" were the words: 50
With much surprise, And rolling eyes, Folks heard the syllables, that flabb'd like swords; Now voices came--"Mine Gote!--enuff, enuff."-- 55
"How! how! what, what? stuff, Inledon, stuff, stuff!" "We pay! no, no! mine Gote, we haf more wil." "Go, go to Parliament--ask Pitt, ask Pitt." 60
With loaded subjects, ah! we see A fete in the next degree: When soon appear'd the emblematic brutes, 60
That kick'd, and spurr'd, and lash'd their hacks-- And well with such tame fools the treatment suits, Off gallop'd, for royal amusement, the asses; 65
'Mid the haycocks they scamper'd and knock'd down the lasscs-- Girls squall'd, the Court laughed, and the Jack-asses bray'd, 65
At the sight of the legs by the tumult display'd. A Couple leap'd down from their state to the Prancers; Musicians and Racers, Tune-grinders and Dancers; 70
Shook all by the hand, who, in compliment cle-ver, Roar'd aloud, "Kings and Queens, Fun and Frogmore, for ever!!"
* The reader will, at the first glance, perceive a resemblance between my Ode , and the celebrated Ode for St. Cecilia's Day , by Dryden, and know perhaps to which he must yield the preference. In spite of all the praises bestowed on Alexander's Feast , I dare pronounce it, a downright drunken Bartholomew-fair scene; the poetry too, not superior to the subject: whereas the Frogmore Gala was of the order of sublimity; and as for the merits of my Muse on the glorious occasion, (though indeed I could say a great deal in her favour) my good old Friend, the Public , must decide.
