THE miuSipti OF LOYALTY.

11: tre lone [!.cur of nii,lnight, when thousands were sleeping,
AO the Curtain Of darkness W•is darn from On high,
;I beheld a pale phantom Who. stood by me weeping,
And ilte tear-drop of sympathy fell froth my eye!

Lint while I yet gaz'd in amazement. and pity,
And yet while the wae-array'd figure itay'd neai,
She brtiti through the silence, earth echoed the ditty;
And soft was the strain as it fell on mine ear.

" 0 night," she eicclaim'd; " lend thy sable dominion;
And linger awhile ou the threshold of day;
Till the world shall have pass'd its impartial opinion,
And the words I have utter'd have faded away.

" I have slept in the tomb, anti' liberty call'd me,
When I woke 'midst the conflict of doubts and of feitis;
The shades of rebeilliou and treason appall'd rue,
• And the Genius of France stands before yOU in tears:

" Nor alone did I weep fir the alter'd cdndition,
Which spoke ti:e distress of the land I had lov'd;
I sigh'd not alone for the flights of ambition,
But groan'd at the thoughts of the woes I had provicl:

" In the silence and shade of the tomb, where I nourieh'd
The embers of fire, which ye:gloved iu.my breast,
The yew-tree and night-shade together have flourish'd,
And whispers of hope have been lulrd ipto rest:

" I have walk'd 'midst the graves, I have w•atch'd hi the

pillow,
Where the brave Son of France lax, by traitors unwept ;
He was'dash'd on the tomb by defectiou'; dark billow,
And silent And careful the vigil I kept:

" Qh ! yes, I have stood where D'ENGIIIENT had been slaugh--
W here pale as his own native lily he lies; [teed,
With thy tears of affection his curse I have water'd,
And fann'd the dark leaves of the cypress with sighs.

" It has been my consoling and tender employment
- To pray to his spirit, which mounted in air,
When, lost to the sense of delightful enjoyment,
The Genius of Gallia had sunk in despair.

" I have rous'd from the tomb, 'lt h:Ne rous'd from my sleep-
The light-foot of freedom has trod on my shore; • [ing,
I hope, 'midst my sorrow, I smile 'midst my weeping,
And the dark deeds of faetion.are witness'd no more.

" I have trampled the form ofihe Son of Ambition,
And have guarded the Throne which a Stranger defil'il
Yet raisin's have been heard 'midst the groans of sedition;
I have tningl'd my tears with disloyalty's child.

" I yet must encourage the soft plaints of mourning,
Nor suffer the robes of the grave to' decay ;
I shall see not my ,Irength and my vigour ►eturning,
Till the efforts of.ages have vanish'd away.

" The wound I receiv'd is stiq fresh to my feeling,
The venom of woe can yet ruffle my breast;
But, lo! I forbear; I must not be revealing
The tortures of spirit which trouble my breast."

She paus'd—and the silence awhile which succeeded
Was disturh'd by the tumult which thrill'd on my ear;
The Genius of France in amazement receded,
She exulted in hope, and taowitrembled with fear.

Thro' the gloom of the night a bright radiance was Hashing;
She loOks t'wards the ocean, she shudders no more;
The oars of the bark thro' the white waves are dashing.
,And Peace and Allegiance have leap'd oil' the shore..

MI where is the force of her gloomy prediction ?
li.ts the long lapse of ages yet hasten'cl away ?
She feels, she enjoys the delightful conviction,
That Treason and Faction abandon their prey.

She approaches in haste—on the beach she is standing;
The tears she has shed are now lost in the sea: .
One vessel still follows--her Soe'reign is landing;
Her King has arriv'd, and her country is free.

In the rich blaze ofilight she is veil'd and surrounded,.
Her form appears lost, it nu longer is there ;
It breaks forth again, and the trumpets are sounded;
More glorious her look—more majestic her air.

Shy descends—she advarces—a Sceptre is gleaming;
The Mouarch is near, and the gift is bestow'd
The drums are yet plaYing, the standards are streaming,
And Liberty follows in Loyalty's road.
The Genius of Gallia extends her wide pinions, .
While Peace and Allegiance are yet standing by;
She mounts—bat she yet hoFers o'er her dominions;
She has risen from, earth—she will set in the shy.

CORN-EXCHANGE, APRIL s4.—There was a few arrivals of
Foreign Oats this morning, and the sale of the several kinds
of Gram was dull, the prices being the same as on Wednes-
day, except for Barley, which met -a ready sale at the-last
quoted price.,
SMITHFIELD, APRIL 22.--This day's Market had a short
supply of the different hinds of Cattle; Beef was dearer;
Mutton, Veal, Lamb, and Poll, sold at last prices; and the
trade in general was not over brisk. The sales in the Hay-
market were trifling; Straw has dropped in price; Hay and
Clover. fetched last prices.

'gorses are now ninckeased, as the draft in all
kinds of carriages is considerably reduced; and
the wear and tear in Steam Engines, Machinery,
&c. of every description, prevented by the use of
the Patent ANTI-ATTRITION COMPOSITION, which
is • also in all eases not . less. Alban 300 per cent.
cheaper than oil, tallow, or grease, for the pur-
pose of obviating the destructive effects of frictiOn.
Three hundred French prisoners of war from
the depOt of Stapleton matched through Bristol
on Monday last, having been exchanged for Bri-
tish prisoners taken at Bergen-op-Zuni:l. They
were selected from those who had been longest in
confinement. Many of them were old men, having
become grey in captivity. The intelligence of the
-recal of the BOURBONS having been received in
• that city on the preceding day, the spectators were
much disappointed on finding that the prisoners
had not, in. a single instance, hoisted the white
cockade. The idea of their libeation seemed to
absorb every other consideration, and theopoor
fellows replied to the affectionate greetings of the
populace, who no longer vieretl them as enemies,
with this, simple manifestation of• their feelings,
We now go home, thank God !" Even on Mon-
day last, the prisoners at Stapleton would not be-
lieve that the Allies were in possession of the
French capital ; and on being told that BOON A-.
PARTE had actually signed his abdication, many of
them evinced the strongest etnotions of resent-
ment, declaring that it was all " an mensonge Ati-
gtois" (an English lie !) One old man, in parti-.
cider, exclaimed, that if he were convinced of the
truth of 'the news, be would that moment hang
himself at the lamp-post. , •
