TO AN EAGLE IN A CAGE.
Rain is thy lot, proud Bird, that wont'st to ow
To height untravell'd by anotner wing
Save thine ! that height to which you rode Won
Gives to remembrance but a keener sting!
Wu it thy ravenous beak, or, tyrant claw,
Lord of the barren rock and mountain glen!
Which made thine appetite alone thy law
Aping the reckless tyranny of men P
Was it the lambkin 's bleat of innocence
When last you pounc'd front Heav'n upon your prey,
That rotted your tender gaoler's nobler sense
Of indignation at thy murderous sway P
For this, imperial Bird! it captive thou
Art doom d to linger thy remaining years,
Then—may we hope at length that virtue now
And gentleness 61)441 dry up this world's tears!
Then may we hope, that perjur'd vows, above
Recorded yet shall render Europe free,
That Monarchs shall but seek their subjects' love,
And the world's Tyrants seal our liberty!
Then may I deem that him whose flight was thine!
None jealous of a people's righ. detain
In hopeless • Exile, nor that '• Right Divine"
Hugg'd once again by fools has forg'd his chain!
Then will I, deaf to all that's truly great,
Deaf to God's voice, whose pity I implore,
Help Prom the Captive Chief to bar his mate,
And wish the Son to see his Sire no motet
Yet—Royal Bird—if, mr.n encaging thee
Abuses thus Ileae'ns delegated trust.
No wonder, if to kindred titles true,
Kings tread all titles but their own, in dust!

ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIAN AMBASSADOR AND
THE FAIR CIRCASSIAN.

aivre, APRIL 25.—About 3 this afternoon His
Majesty's schooner Pioneer attired in the roads,and very
shortly after the boat behnignig, to the Customs put off
front her under a witty. Site had no hoard the Persian
Ambassador and suite, who on landing were greeted
with another salute from the guns at the heights. As
the schooner had been seen for some lime before her ar-
rival, there was an amazing concourse of people assem-
bled on the beach, and the novel "attire of the arrival of
ten or a dozen persons habited in silks and turbans,
with daggers and long beards, in no small der attract.
ed the attention of the inhabitants, whose curiosity had
been raised to the highest pitch by the different accounts
of the beauty of the fair Circassian, and had not a
coach been provided at the water's edge, I much doubt
if his Excellency and suite would have reached the inn
without consiikrable difficulty.. The crowd followed to
Wright's Hotel marly as fast as the carriage, it being
reported by some that the fair female was in a mask,
under the habit of a ni de attendant, whilst others stated
that she would not be landed till the middle of the
night. In about half an hour, however, after the arri-
val of the first boat, a second bait came into the har-
bour, and landed the Circassian beauty! She was at-
tended from the schooner by Lieut. Graham, of the pre-
ventive service, and two black eunuchs. She was
scarcely seen; for the instant she landed she was put
into a coach, which conveyed her to the inn. She hid
on a hood, which covered the upper part of her head.
and a large silk shawl screened the lower part of her
face, across the nose, from observation ; therefore her
.eyes, which arc truly beautiful, and part of her forehead,
were the only parts of her beauties that could be seen.
She is of the middle stature, and appeared very interest-
ing. Her look was languid from illness, arising from a
rough passage. She was conducted to a bed-room on
reaching the inn, bin no one was allowed to attend her
but the eunuchs.

The Persian Ambassador and his fair Circassian and
suite arrived on Tuesday afternoon, about five o cloc;‘,
at their new residence in Charles-street, Berkeley-square,
from Paris. The cayslentle consisted of four camages.
They entered town by Westminster-bridge, and passed
up Parliameut•street, Cockspur-street, and down Pall-
mall to their destination. His Excellency and his corp.
'union rode in the first carriage, the blinds to the side-
windows of which were down, and most maliciously
obstructed the curious eve of the passenger, ea3er to
catch a glimpse of the lair Circassian. The knit carriage
in the set was an open landau, in whir h were seated the
black tunnel's, in the costume of their country and
their callimg. Many persons in the tome stopped and
are 1. (((( s of the persons who conmposed the
e,s,deule, A few, who, from the appearance of the
black eunuchs, suspected it was the Persian Ambassador
and suite, billowed the cavalcade to Pall-mall, expecting
to see it stump at Carlton-Minx.. it is needless to add.
that they were disappointed.

MONDAY, STAY 3, 1919

A Dutch Mail ha' just arrived, bring:ng Papers
of Tuesday lust. The Second Chamber of the
Stows General, after a discussion of much length,
have agreed to five projects of Law relating to the
Excise and Customs. An article from Stockholm
states, that M. Berquis, who has returned from St.
Bartholomew, has published a work, containing
some curious information respecting the Black Em-
pire of Ilayti. The financial system of Christophe
is excee.lingly simple, Ile claims one fourth of
the property of bis kingdom, while he adjudges ano-
ther {Louth as the portion of the negroes, and the
proprietors are permitted to enjoy the remaining
half. Apprehensive of nothing so seriously as an
invasion by the French, he is represented as storing
his treasure on the summit of a lofty hill, defended
by artillery, and which, doubtless, he considers to
be impreguatle. It is pretty clear, however, that
should ever the dominions of his sable Majesty be
inva.led by his dreadful foes, they would hardly fail
to attack his hoarded and levy their eontribu-
