ALEXANDER THE GREAT.

Tots, It way the opinion of certain Philosophers,
iose who, at vai ions periods, had made a ;neat
le world, subsequently to their death, appeared
again in other characters, or rather as the same
in other situations.

tjecture has caused many whimsical speculations,
e afforded much amusement to the world, and con-
\iofit to those with whom they originated, most of

the good luck to live before I was born. I have
:d very much their good fortune, and been tempted
Providence of not having actPd very handsomely
not permitting me to come into the world a little
Lt I might have had a share of the harvest instead
a of the gleanings. On reflection, however, I have
made shift to console myself by thinking it might
r late than never."

,dea I am now confirmed, as notwithstanding the
iges to which I have alluded, I have at length made
7 which, I trust, will immortalize me, as it certain=
hero to whom it refers. Not to keep you in sus-
lave discovered that KIT HU rc HINSON is Alexan-
'eat !! ! This, Mr. Editor, Ido not desire you to
y word. If you consider the mad conduct, the
It ideas, the inflated language, and self-importance
ITCHINSOI4, I am sure you will he satisfied that in
►facedonian lunatic still lives. It is true he has
IA that he has no more worlds to conquer, as he
lid, but I should not be surprized to learn.that he
ly mourns that he has no more PEItCEVALS to
but one Lord CAST LEREAGH to conquer.

ent triumph decreed to him at Cork. may, I think,
ompared with his former triumphant entry into

. -
Babylon. 1 am confident Mr. tiUTCRINsuN thought so.
The Babylonians in Cork cou'd .cconpare it to nothing else,
it was mere spite that made certain snarlers, who former-
ly passed for teen of sense, declare, while they looked on,
that the Cork people were light headed.
This ~ vas to celebrate a vidor.m, which the people
of- no country in the world (save Ireland,) would have dis-
covered to be a to mark the py of he
Pdt/dits.for the success of Mr. II in an election which he
tot. The order of it was as follows:

" About cue cr'eltid:, the Gentlemen who were to form the procession
began to w.settible in the Nratli Alain-street, in front of the Exchange,
at Cc•rk. Soon after tine ( hair arrived, accompanied by the Band of
the 1-oY:ii Cork Leition, were pheed in a neatly bbilt host, ele-
vated upon 14 itArriave dr.twn by four flue horses, the ridersadresscd
I•ght blue jaclsch. Upon the arrival of the Chair, the streets were
tlirtaivri atood, to sittfocatioa. The windows were tilled with beauty
and ftbl,ion—A 11)1111:u: de ctt peisoni stood ~tit on the whitlow stools,
:rad on Il.c r.. 44 of tlit,p3.......tiumbets ct re seen on the roofs of the
houses, all j tiling in the eencral
At four 0'..10H; the proevs,ion began to move forward, its the

After these Gentlemen, wire en-ried, the Chair, in which the Ho.
ntotrahle Patriot, Christopher Hely Hutchinson, was placed. Tf,e
ht iL:111 13 feet, with a can,pv highly trnanwnted with crimson and
crllow itttiti, at the top of which Was a Crown and Harp richly gilt—
the soppiaters yellow, el.twitied with Sliamroc and Laurel—the arms
attached to the suppotters, scarlet maroon, with gilt balls rind silk
fritiLes—the platform cove red with carpet and maroon, on which
tt
phlced an .t rat chair, elegantly finished in burnished gull:, with a beat

On tic centre of the back of tl:e Chair was the Crest, a Came

Fintilei Geri& Cruceni."

Ai Mr. Mitchinson moved along, l e wai aceive:i with ttie molt un-
boaiukcl auchnotations—every hat was un--every voice was raised,
seitl handlierchiels waved from every window. At length the Patriot
arrived at'Nl'Dowerb, where he addiesscd his friends in uearly the fol.
lowing words :

Gentleman, the triumph is not mine (this was eery properly stated—
thc triumph ass not his) but yours.—Gentlemen, the tiovernment have.
endeavoured terdivide the people, aided by a wicked faction in your
City ;- hut, Gentlemen, bar the help of God, their wicked attempt will
be unavai!ing. They went to prevt at the Boman Catholics from having
any share rn the privileges and advantages of the Constitution—they
want to separate my family iroin you, Gentlemen, but they hive
failed—never were ic so closely attached (applause). Gentlemen, I,
nuderstand the Chair is in danger of falling—rat this moment fears
were created with respect to the Honiairsible Mr. Hutchinson in the
Chair)—but, Gentlemen, if I should fall, I fell among my friends v..
(Thundering plaudits.) Gent!en.eu, you may depend upon it that my
life end hot energies shall he for ever etrivloyed in the cause of he-
lot!! ! But it my energies should fail me, you will still have many of
my name and family artiong you, able and t qually willing to fight your
battles.--I request, Gentleman, as y,:u value the great cause in which
we ore ell engaged, and as you esteem my good wishes, that you will
preserve tranquillity and peace, and now return to your respective
homes. (Aye, aye, universally.)
He then threw liiinself among the crowd, and was carried in the
arms of his friends to the hotel, from the windows of which he ad.
dressed them, than Ling them for the honour they had done him, 'and
intreating them to retire in peace. A thousand voices answered him
awe wits." He retired, loaded with blessings, and in a few minutes
the pl.ice was clear."

Now, Sir, I say nothing of the speech, though turned int*
black verse it : very we:l for Alexander, as the elm,
