POETRY'.

, The following Nem is so just a tribute to the
worth and talents of the Gentleman to whom it is
addressed, that we have great pleasure in 'submitting
it to .our Readers. It was written by MisS TUE-
rusts, a Lady whose poetical powers 'have been de-
servedly admired.

VALENTINE TO WILLIAM orprOit.

A pleasing form, a virtuous mind,
A temper gracious, liberal, kind,
A friendship steady and sincere,
A heart incapable of fear, ,
Because incapable of wrong,
Such was the youth who grac'd my wing;
Such was the guide I proudly cho'S'e
Whep Valentine's sweet morn arose ;
The day, the year, are gone and past,
Yet ever shall our friendship last ;
Dalton, farewell ! no longer thine,
Fate 'gives another Valentine;
For tyrant custom has decreed
Thou shalt not to thyself succeed.

Where shall the little lorn one stray,
Or who will point her dubious way ?
Her doubtful .step may tread aside
.Without her lov'd accurtoin'd guide;
Banish'd the harbour of his breast,
She knows not, seeks not, where to rest !
/Ur shatter'd vessel scarce can 'bide
The tossings of life's turbid tide ;
Then let her cast her cies around,
And anchor on the firmest ground ;
Implore some kind extended hand
To lead her o'er life's fairy land,
And point the dangers which await
A female's unproteCied state.

And who so competent a guide.
Who o'er her condutt to presi
As he, whose quick discerning eye
Each little weakness can descry ?
As he whose noble candour proves
The beauty of that truth he loves ?
0 Cr rPom D I though thy bitter page
Announces all the Critic's rage,
The gall which makes vain It'll), smart
Flows from thy judgMenr, not thine heart i
For in thy meek, yet ardent, breast
What gentler virtues stand contest
What dignified humility,
. join'd to the babe's simplicity !
•
0,, Since such thou art, I will not fear

To choose thee tbr th' ensuing year;
The humblest vot'ty of the Nine
Claims a Parnassian Valentino I
And if no talent she reveals,
Her only boast is—that she feels
0 d r romp ! while the tender tear
Bedews thy gentle ANNA's bier,
Dares; thou aver no stone will tell
The name of him who lov'd so well ?
While judgment, taste, and fling, live,
Darest thou aver no friend will grieve,
When Nature's noblest works decay,
And high-soul'd C 11,7010.1) sinks to clay ?

The arrival of the QUEEN of FRANCE and the
Duchess of ANGOULESM E, in this Country, is expea-.
ed by Lours XVIII. before the end of the present'
month. MARIA JosEenA Lours.‘, the expatriated.
Queen of France, is somewhat more than two 'years
older than her husband. She was the eldest daugh-
ter of the late King of Sardinia, VICTOR AMADEUS
by a daughter-of PHILIP V. King of Spain.—
Her younger sister married the Count D'ARTOIS,
but neither of these Princesses Was ever distinguish-
ed by their personal beauty. The present Queen,
whci has resided during several year 4 past at Mittau,
in Courland, entertained the greatest apprehen-
sions at the idea of passing the portion of the Baltic
from Liebau to Carlscrona, in Sweden, but she made
the voyage with great ease, and is now about to
embark for Yarmouth, in an English frigate.
Madame Royale, Duchess of ANGOULESMB, who
accompanies her, must ab:rays deeply interest, from
the, circumstances of her. birth, imprisonment, and-
misfortunes, every mind of sensibility. She is now
near thirty years of age, by no m6ans, handsome,
nor endowed with any extraordinary talents, but
she is amiable, virtuous, benevolent, and inclined
to devotion. Though she has been married above
nine years to the Duke of .-21wootit.tsmE, her
cousin, she has never given an heir to the Thrcme
once occupied by her father ; nor is such an event
considered as probable to happen, at any future
time, by the family, of BOURBON. Her sufferings,
while confined with her father and mother, in the
Temple at Paris,' during the years 1792 and 1793,
were such as to undermine, if not to destroy,
the
strength of her constitution. Even her intellectual
p 0 WeIS Were impaired or enfeebled by those scenes,
at the bare recollettion of which humanity shudders. ,

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF CHANCERY, Ava. ro.

IN THE • MATTER OF LADY AUGUSTA MUERAY, BA-
RONESS AMELAND, V. HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS

LUKE OF SLISSLM.

This day an application was made on the part of
the Noble Plaintiff, by Mr. THOMPsON, praying to
set aside an order made by his Honour the MAsTFAt
of the ROLLS; in last July, for appointing Goardiani'
for the care of her Ladyship's children by the Royal
puke.

Her Ladyship's affidavit stated, that in 1802 she
had applied for an injandion to restrain the sum of
40061. a year, which his Royal Highness had settled
on her Ladyship, out of the allowance granted to
hitn 6y his Majesty, from coming through the handS
of his Royal Highness : 'a conditional injundion
Was granted, but the merits of the case never have
been discussed, in consequence of the late Mr. Pitt's
having taken on himself the care of negociating the
differences subsisting between the parties at the time.
This was followed in 1806, by a‘deed of settlement,
under which his Royal Highness agreed to allow her
Ladyship, for the maintenance and education of her
Son, 5001. a-year, and for the like purposes to her
daughter, 2001. a-year ; and it was also agreed there-
by, to appoint the Earl of Moira and Lord Fincastle
Trustees for the payment of those annuities, and
superintendants of the childrens' education; This
adjustment, however, not having proved finally sa—
tisfaelory to all parties, a bill was filed in July last,
praying that an order might be issued tp appoint
guardians for the care and education of the children;
and an order was accordingly made.
The present application, then, was urged upon
the ground that the deed which settled the annuities
for the support of the children likewise _appointed
trustees for their, education, and that the Noble.
Lords thereby appointed, were, to all intents and
purposes, guardians of the children. It was also
stated, that her Ladyship was taken by surprise, and
had not been served with due,notice. The Learned
Advocate urged theiliardship which the latter ap-
pointment would occasion to her Ladyship,. who,
by such an order, would be deprived of the satisfac-
tion of Having her children under her own imme-
diate superintendance, and that she might also be
liable to be called on for payment of 'the sums
advanced on their account, should the order be con-
firmed.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, however, was of *opi-
nion, that the order should-be confirmed; for, as the
Duke of Sussex was not legally authorised to appoint.
a Guardian for those children, it was incumbent on
the Master to dire& the appointment of legal Guar-
dians. The Master Was of curse bound to examine
all the parties concerned in, this matter, upon oath,
in order that proper Gliardians might be chosen. for.
such a trust. .

TIIE ATTORNEY GENERAL V. BULLER, SeC.

A. bill had been filed in this case by. the Attorney
General, on the relation of Mr. Iludell, the rector
ot the parish of Recorden, and Mr. White, vicar of
the parish of Wexnainster, against Mr, huller, Sir .1.
Ilchester, and other', trustees fbr managingti:e cor-
porate charities of these parishes, and of a chaplainry
adjoining ; and it was now asked, on the part of the
Plaintiff, that a receiver should, in the mean time,
be appointed.

Sir Saraußhßomihr..v and Mr. BELL, for the Plain-
tiff, stated, that in the rei7-11-of Henry the \Midi,
the tithes of the lands in these two pat 'sites, and in
an adjoining chaplainry, were made over as a charita-
ble foundation, for the support of a Itedor or Vicar
in each of the two parishes, for the endowment of a
free-school, and the support of a certain nutuber of
• boys, and, after these objects were accomplished, fOr
other goodand chari table purposes within the parishes.
In the reign, of Edward VI. -the trustees of the cha-
rity were ereCted into a corporation ; • and; in of
James I. a decree was obtained, in the Court of Ex-
chequer, designating the objets of-the trust, as al-
ready specified, and declaring that the funds should
On no account be in anyways applied to the use of
the trustees themselves, or .of other persons of
wealth or influence. At the date of thiS decree,
being the 22d of James I. the tithes in question
amounted to I tool. At this moment, nearly at the
distance of two centuries, they did not yield more
than 13001. although it was sworn that the value of
these tithes amounted. to, •if they did, not exceed,
-59001. The trustees themselves were in the actual
poisession, either by themselves or their tenants; Of
a great part of these tithes, which extended over
16,000 acres, and, although it was not alleged
that they granted compositions of their own tithes,
at a lower rate than they did to strangers, it was sof- .
ficient to infer a gross and scandalous breach of trust,
to say, that these tithes were compounded on an
average, at the rate of sixpence per pound. It was
therefore essential to the purposes. of the charity,
that a reeeiver.be appointed.
bap
'• 'Mt. HART and Mr. Tuomse.ar, for the Trustees,
offered to undertake that. notices to determine the
existing compositions should be given at the first pos-
sible moment. In other respects, the general scope-
of their argument went t o shew that there could be
nothing corrupt in the conduct of the Trustees,_ who
meant, to do. good, and at the most were only.
guilty of an error in judgment, which they Were
willing to correct. .That the relators had no 'cause
of complaint they inferred frOm these facts, that
the Vicar of Wexini Lister had a salary of 2001. a year,
in addition to which, a sum of 10501. had been ex-
pended in building hitwa house. As to the other
relator, Mr. Rudell, he had ceased to fulfil the du-
ties of his office ever since the year 1797, during the
whole of which time his family had received the
salary, which amounted to nearly 20u1. a year, al-
though he himself was acting as chnplaiu to a man
of war. From the schoolmaster and boys no com-
plaint. was heard, and as to them, therefore; it was
reasonable to infer that the charity had been duly
administered.

The Logo CHANCELLOR,, esteeming this to be a
question of the very highest importance, should-take
time to consider before he disposed of it altogether.
On this point, however, he could have no doubt;
namely, sending it terthe master to tix what were
the compositions which ought to be paid by the trus•
tees themselves, and their tenants, for the tithes in
question' otcupied by them, it not being atteinpnid
yen to insintiate that there was one or these trustees
ho did not by himself, or his tenants, occupy soinc
part of Ow. iitiles in question. On the general con-
duct td cinititics of this kind, lie was wiry to declare

_.~. ~ ~=.

it 'as his decided. opiuion, from what he had observed,
and from what he had heard iii that Court, that the
-legislative interference was particularly called for.
