TO THE KING.
0! MONAPCii, whose blood is the blood of the brave,
O! let not the dark chains of Minions enslave !
The soul which from passions fomented, when free,
Mounts upward, and bids the base panders to flee.
0 ! believe me! the phantom they raise to your view.
Nor to truth. nor to nature. is counterpart true!
'Tis the Damon of Darkness that haunts your bright eye.
And veils from your vision the Angel from high.
'Tis the soul of your child! 0! dogaze bar again.
She has left the sweet Heavens fora world full of pain;
'Dashed the cords which bind mortals imperfect away.
And burst through the mists, like the Monarch of Day !
0! believe me, the doubt of the Schoolmen• is just,

Whether sense does not chef the frail Tenant of Dust;
For, she whom you think your undutiful wife
Is your Charlottes own soul barn again into life.

The LONOITUDE.—A. M. Hoene Wrousky corn.
plains in the Gazelle de France of the illiberality of
the British nation in not granting him the reward
of 20,0001. proposed by Parliament fur the disco-
very of the longitude. This person eeclares, that
" he has -established a new lunar theory, which
gives the solution required." Proud of his discovery,
he hastened from Paris to London, where he imme-
diately waited upon Sir Joseph Banks, who referred
hint to Dr. Young, by wham, he says, " every
thing is done at the Board of Longitude." In the
mean time all his instruments, in spite of his re-
monstrances, were taken from the Custom House,
and exposed to the Board of Longitude, who, after
having minutely examined them, discovered, his
eeeret, .and then, coolly returning them to him, in-
formed Mm that his discovery was not new, and that
the Board had entertained a similar idea. Mr.
Wrousky complains, that not only was he refused
the Parliamentary reward, but even his expences to
London were nut paid, which, he says, was the
snore unjust, as the English unfairly obtained a
knowledge of his lunar theory, and his theory of
refractions. We should be glad that the Board of
Longitude would reply to M. Wrousky's state-
ments.
British and Foreign Schad Society.—The Anni-
versary of this Society was held last Saturday, in
the Great Room in the Freemason's Tavern. Lord
Ebrington took the Chair, owing to the absence of
the Duke of Sussex, from indisposition. The
Report of the Committee, after a handsome tribute
to the memory of the late Duke of Kentaletailed the
proem of the national system of education at home
and abroad ; and contained a statement of the re-
ee;pts and disbursements of the Institution. Mr.
Wilberforce congratulated the meeting on the sue.
eel's of its philanthropic efforts, which, by spreading
the lights of education, would bind the nations to-
gether in the ties of amity and peace. The meeting
was then addressed by M. de Weirhender, the
Swedish Charge d'Affairs ; Gen. Bergamo, of Vent,.
zuela (by an interpreter) ' • Mr. D. Mathews, of
New York ; Mr. Byng, M. P. and several others.—
Some resolutions were then passed in furtherance of
the object of the institution.
We have received The Charleston Courier of the
11th May. George Clark, Henry Robert Wolfe,
James Griffin, and Thomas Brailsford, convicted of
piracy; and of the murder of Captain Sunby and
four others, of the British brig Ann, upon the coast
of Florida, were ordered for execution on the fol-
lowing day. A respite fix the two latter was
expected, on the ground of their having been recom-
mended to mercy by the Jury. A very circum-
stantial account of the piracies in which these men
v.t.re engaged has been published, and discloses a
series of atrocities of the most revolting description,
particularly us relates to the mode in which Capt.
Sunby and his Mute were put to death. They had
ceased all resistance, and had surrendered .all they
possessed, but were stabbed in the act of supplicating
for their lives.
The late Duke of Redford lost his life in a few
hours by. a strangulated Hernia. The following
letter of course particularly claims the attention of
those who have been improperly truated under this
and other alarming complaints :
