He's all one as a ship without ruatizr or sails:;
That the roaring of butleting.billows must prove, .
And must drive at the mercy of thund'ring gales.
His cargo's afloat, all his masts by. the board,
A sheer hulk without' ballast she heavily moves.;

A light hearted, jolly, brisk drew man the shrouds ;
He springs upon' deck, he distributes his grog,
Pipes all handi from belnw, and his light canvas crowds,
No thoughts cross' his inindi but of drubbing our foes,
The proud flag of Britain in triumph unferl'd,
A signal, a breeze boys, three cheers awl he goes;
Takes hiS prize,--and'is prlz'd by a wond'iing World.
The Monseerslove to dance, let 'ern dance o'er the main,
With Mynheer and the Don ; tho' they 'scape a salt dip,
Why the French we'll soon teach how to dance back. again,

High on a rock, by ocean lashid around.,
Britannia sits upon 11:1 well fled throno ;
Views the vast maim, and bids her Waves resound,

And calls unmovid the vast expanse her
Bids the
.swoln waters heave their angry heads,
Securely smiling 'mid the bellowing dt;ep,„
Drives back The wild waves to their bitlawy beds,
Till winds are hush'd, and storms are lull'd to sleep.

. The hero 'of Mr. CoLmkN's new Comedy
is said to be a strange mixture of the Doi: or,
Slot-tin:an and Vaunt. rr. This Chara&er we
understand, is worked up with great skill and
humour. It is to be performed by FAwc
if he supports it as Well as he does Dr.Panglcir,
the Author will have no reason to complain.
Mrs.. MERRY is so great,a favourite in Ame-
rica, that she is not in the least inclined to return
to this Country, and has declined very liberal
overtures from the Covent-Garden Manager. She
is in the receipt of a high salary, and generally
makes very profitable benefits. Mrs. OLDM IXO Ni
formerly Miss GEOItG is also in a prosperous
way, and much respeCied.
Mr: MATH lAS, to whom a certain popular
Satire has been long attributed, has. printed an
edition of selett Sonnets from Petrarch, for the
purpose of distributing among his private f:iends.
The work is a bputiful specimen of typography,
and of tasteful. seletlion But why has he not en-,
deavoured to transplant these charming flowers
frOm.the garden of Italian Poetry into that of
Britain, a soil as favourable to . the produalons of
Genius, and if lesi so to those of Love, " the
more the difficulty, the niore..the honour."

The restoration of harmony among-the /our_
neytnen Taylors and their Masters, will not; we
hope, be- injurious to the 'Dames of the.-Thimbb,
who were employed as Substitutes, during the
late Insurreaiths. We rather hope to hear of a
Union
_by .which the breed may be improved, the
Things com;erted into Flints, and the whole gene-
ration so much raised_ in the scale of existence,
that .Nine Taylors may hereafter -rank as so many
Men.

The journernen Taylor! are now presenting
themselves for work, nine at a thvc, in many
places, with the recommendation that they can do
a Man's Work well.

BONAPARTE'S = idea of placing Liberty in a
shell is somewhat extraordinary, and it is rather
difficult to conceive his meaning, except it is an
allusion to the old story of the Lawyer who
swallowed the Oyster, and gave the 'shells 'to his
Clients.

The Defendant who tore an Ad of P;irliament

-The Letter of Sit orntrEY S~tlTt', while he
was in conken:suit at- Paris, addressed to. BON
PAR TE, puts the charatjerof the Corsicm Upstart_
in a Very, imrivoutalite:poira or—view, and shews
that he is, devoid of all 'that generous sympathy
which marks the true hero. He was fully aware
of the situation of Sir I.;IDNEY, but contented
himself with .a cold expfession of pity, ,without
making the least effort to mitigate the diStres4cs
of a noble adversary, though a word would have
been sufficient. .Sir St 11N EY'S Letter is, manly,
eloquent, and larding appeal, that would have
had a due influenei:.nron tiny liberal 'mind. •
