JOHN BULL'S FOREIGN POLICY.

(From .Psistch.)
O Liberty, could I but see
The Peoples all enjoying thee,
Such high delight would then be mine,
AA man could owe to love or wine,
Or Woman (eel in dressing fine.
Nor give me, though the truth I speak,
The credit which I do not seek.
Could you your tyrannies destroy,
Self would commingle with my j.y
A no small portion of alloy.
To hold you down, your devote arm,
And keep me always in alarm.
Confound them I—they MAIM me no good ;
Abolish, well I know they would,
My Constitution, if they could.
I, too, must arm in selklefenoe;
And armaments involve expense
Expense taxation means—my curse;
Despotic power alone is worse :
Your masters thus myself amerce.
Oh, how I wish I could retrench
But 1 most keep pace with the French,
And for the Rnmiana stand prepared,
The wet whereof I should be spared,
To shake your yokes off if you dared.
Rise, therefore, and your rights amen,
Ye Peoples, trodden In the dirt.
Strike for your freedom, nations brave,
Whom monarchs absolute emigre:
And so enable me to sem
Oh when shall I pursue Reform
Again, moue from foreign storm,
And cultivate economy ?
For that my peaceful aim would be,
My Peoples, if you were but free.

THE Dcc DE MALAKOFF AT KIMMERIDOE.-00

the object of visiting the slaw of bituminous shalt lately

which were illuminated for the masion, and admiring the
elegant and newly-erected coosengdos—the wrought-iron
pier—they proceeded to Himpierldge-bay, where a stone
pier is in course of erection. The interest taken in them
works cannot be wondered at when the extraordinary pro-
perties of the bituminous sold are taken into omideration •
so manifold ars its applications that, besides predating the
finest candles yet known and yielding a gss of great
iWmtn-
nating power, experiments and easlyees snow that It is
most valuable ea a manure. On distillation it yields a
variety of oils, and by a certain simple process the residue
