THE TEMPERATURE OF THE HUMAN FRAME.

It is a well authenticated fact, that the tempe-
rature of the -Human Body is the same In all cli-
mates—irregularthes being found to be its greatest
bane ; if its functions are regular, good health is
in its natural state. Nothing tends more to render
them irregular than sudden transitions from heat
to cold; yet our necessary. 'avocations—and even
uhr amusements, as well as removing from one
climate to anothernaturally,rendet us liable to
this evil ; to counteract this (and wiJich appears
to be done effectually). Mr. Illll.l.Attn. the Propri-
etor of the East India Warehouses, Cheapside, has
invented his Potent Twine Clot!t to regulate' the
perspiration and from the reports of tie first
expeuince, it is found to answer'the most san-
guine - expectation ; and. will, no dottln,. prove
most beneficial to mankind in every part of the
globe where it is introduced.

hot Probable that our reasoning' upon 'them

si.t.ttire to assert, that they are the only political

must have'felt; as every • lamest .and good man
feels, indignant acid disgusted at the idea of
holding intercourse with these infamous persons ;
but a paramount sense of public duty has com-
pelled them to'sacrifice their private sentiments on
the altar of their country's welfare. We lament
, -
the necessity Of the case, but it they had.no other
alternative before them than that oreither entering
into negociation, or of uniting Europe in a Con-
tinental Peace against us—a peace, too, founded
on opinion, and not, as before, upon com-
pulsion, then, -we confess, that we cannot
conceive it possible that any Minister of Eng-
land should dare to involve the nation in such
a struggle, without previously trying the effect
of a Congress to settle a general PacificatioiL
Such are, and have ever been, our opinions. To
them we. shall immovably adhere, for they are
founded on the sincerest conviction that nothing
but the most imperious motives could have ac-
tuated our Government to adopt the line it has
taken, and. upon a very painful sense of the de-
gradation, and, we will add, moral laxity, in-
volved in the measure of entering into bonds
of amity with so vile and criminal a gang of sue-
cesSttil Ruffians as BUONAPARTE and his myr-
midons.

'We have only to add, as an Observatiln appli-
cable to the conduct of the Allies, that the hoist-
ing of the White Cdckade coidd scarcely be ex-
pected when they themselves put an extinguisher
upon the manifestation of any wish of this sort
on the part of the people of France, by the way
in which they conducted iheinselves towards the
Usurper—for while they treated him as a,rightful
Sovereign,• they virtually treated such of his sub•
jects as Might rise against him as Traitors, and
exposed them, in the issue of a compromise, to
suffer tae punishment of Treason !

By IVILLIAN/ co•wra,

I am a tenant of nine feet by four,
My title no lawyer denies,
From.the ceiling.quite down to the floor,
lam hyd of the spiders and flies.
Oh, Justice ! how awkward it is
TO lie grip'd by thy terrible squad!
I did but indulge in a quiz,
And the uniliave have sent we to quad. •

Dear scandal is out of myreach,
I must pass my dull. utprninics alone
Never hear Mr. make aspeecli,
Nor get audicucefor one of my own!

The people, provOkingly quiet,
My fate with inditierence see;
They are sOunacciistoni'd to riot,'
Their tameuess is shocking to me.

Personality, libel, and lie,
Ye sUppurts of our Jacobin train,
If I had but the courage to try, .
HoW soon I would sport you again !

My ranklings I then might assuage
By renewing my efforts to vex,
By profaning the rev'rence of age,
And attacking the Weakness of sex.

A libel ! what treasure untold
Resides in that dear little word,
More rich than the silver andiold
Which' the Bank is reported to hoard!

But the Bench have no bowels for pity, .
No stomach for high-seasoyd leavin„
And, though we be never §'o••witty,
They trim us when judgment is given.

O ye, who were present in Court,
In pity courey to me here
Some well-nianutactur'd report,
Of a Lady) a Piince, or a Peer.

Do My writings continue to tell ? • -
Does the public attend to my lines?
0 say that my Newspapers sell, • •
Though the mOney 'must go for my fines!

How fleet is the growth of a fib
The astonishing speed of its flight
Outstrips the less mischievous squib
Let off on a holiday night.

'then, who would not vamp up a fudge,
When he knows how it helps off his papefs;
Were it not—that rthe thought of the Jtitlgj
Overcasts him, and giveS hitn the vapours?

But Coati= has got his discharg,c—
The,beast is let loose from his cover;
Like him I shall yet be at large,.
When a couple of years,shall be over:

For law roust our liberty give,
ThOugh law for a while may retard it :
Even Pshall obtain it, who lice
By sappi:lg the bulWarks that guard it.

We, have, seldom witnessed a more spirited re-
vival than in the Comedy of tflid Oats, which was
again represented laSt night at Drury-lane Thea-,
tre before a Nery numerous. audience The cha-
racters throughout have been appropriated jndi-
eiously.. ELLISTON is gradually throwing off the
stiffness and formality Which hung over, his comic.
•efforts, and he gave last night' a very animated
.support to the part of Rover. .BANNISTER is'wisely
retreating into parts suited.to his time of life, and
his John Dory, is a proof that lie can be as success,
ful as he used to be in more juvenile characters'.
Mrs. GLovEtt,:s Lod, ,e/mgranth is a speciaven of
'good sense, feeling, amdpropriety, highly credit-
able to .her talents. 'The Comedy had,. besides,
the strong support of
~MUND.E.N,' KNIGHT, and
DOWTON, and excited throughout much applause.
It was followed by a new ballet, founded- on the
Opera of The Padlock, entitled, Lorenzo and Leo-
nora, composed. by W. llyaNE. The incidents
were tolerably . well preserved, hut, they would
hardly have been intelligible; lithe original piece
were not So familiar to the public.. The ballet' was
well supported by the exertions.of. Young BYRNE,
Miss Smyrn,.and the rest.of the capering corps.

KEMBLE'S engagement, we understand, cop-.
chides this week, and early in the next he de-

from .the Public, and the Public have eqUal
reason to be satified with the rich and classical
treat which his talents afforded theni. His Brutes
last night, at .Covent-Garden, was as attractive
as-at the beginning of his engagement, and be
displayed the same judgment, dignity, and feel-
