It maybe rousidere4 as one of ,the-,most grati-
fying-blihjects for National Triurriphs, that the fe-
ma-e -part of,otir population hayeohytrine:l an in
-tellectual ehara'eter, which we. may afsrm, with-
out incarring the imputation of prejudice, places
ttbent:in general above the 'women Of any other
'There is hardly a department of Lite=
nature in which some of our fair countrywomen
have not distiognislte4 .Ithetatelves, and prod need

Marion. The Autiror of the present poem, aS.our
Readers in gentral will perceive:by the title'
page; and which, doubtless,. many of them know
front nearer information, has' given" Tatty produc-
tions to the world, all of*hich are calculated
promote thrNioterests morality, to exercise be-
aevolent affections, and to instruct' the rising ge-,
aeration. It, Was natural to et.:pect that a pets
so active cau-e of virtue woul,l he employed
with zeal in that of patriotism, and the work be-
fore us shews that the fair author is animated
with a laudable impulse of national pride, and is.
also anxious to render due homage to the heroes
and Pote:ltates of other countries, wilt): haCT co-
operated in the deliverance of Europe. Of course,
it was impossible, while she was paying a jast
tribute of praise to those who removed the yoke
of tyratmv,' that she should not cast a propor-
tionate odium on the Tyrant. .The todowing
passage gives an outline, of his char:it:ter, :and
some traces of the fatal effects of his MOrdinate
• power and remorseless ambition :
" And where is Ht--the moan of blood and crime?
ONteast of nten—dis,,wted irixerY
clime—
Lilie the destroying angel, sent to stied
The cap of iengeance o'er a nation's' head':
Not his the ha'e lisarper's name alone,
A tyrant's mandates, and a blood-stain'd throne,
Rapine and murder marl: his fatal reign.: '
Famine and fear, and war (a direful train) ; •
Nations despoii'd, and kingdoms fill'd with woe ;
Plains plenteOus once, no longer fruitful now ;
Given to the flaming sword in ail its ire,
To uesolation, pvstileuce, and tire •
To vengeance uncontroul'd—to ev'ry ill,
Demons alone could prompt, and could fulfil.
" The peaceful village, village now tio more,
In smoking rniusshews his tiend-lilie pow.r.
None, time are left of all its blooming train;
None, none to tell its tale of woe remain—
To point where kneeling beauty vainly sued -
To one whilst hands a-father's olootl einbru'd,
To spin e her trembling yet in virgin chant's,
tor tier's an aged mother's nidow'd_arnts. _
And there's au infatit groupe, whose helpless years.
Can only lisp their griefs, their hopes, their fears.
o'er pm sad heap a lonely mourner stands, •
Ills crutch all trembling in his palsied hands ;
With streaming eyes amoogst that heap'of slain, • ",
The ride, the glory, of the village train, •
Ile views dreaded sight) his age's boast,
prouns'd eanstort there foc ever lust;
The prop, the pillow of his unary head,
Ail gasa'tl with wounds amongst the f,:stering dead:
&a,:s frill :with specelit.:9a:sarro‘y's streaming eye,

After drawing an 'affecting portrait of a yoilng
WOUlan, whose husband had fallen a victim to the
havoc of war, paThiting the miseries whigh BUuNA-
PAUTE has brought.' on other countries, anti
r, glancin, at several incidental topics, the Author
directs her ittention• tow,ards the head of tile'
-Rouse of llougßoN, whom she addresses in the
following manner :
" Illustrious Exile! Exile now no more,
Oh! as you press again your native shore, '
In gay perspective may thetfuture
Ana co:word's dearest blessings long be thine!
And as the painter gives• the darker hue,
To bring each bright tint brighter to the view,
' May the strong conflict of rtinemher'd woe
But serve to heighten joy's contrasted glow !
fan, tried by silent grief, and every woe
The atait cold suffer, and the monarch linoyt !
Con. firm in faith and hope—return to bless
Thy long-lost sons, and teach theta happiness :
The happiness those monarchs only prove,
'Who. find their safeguard in their people's love,
Reign in their hearts, aiaj see their equal laws
ProtUct the peasant's as the prince's cause,
Tell them that liberty's polluted reign,
And the wild laws of her licentious train,
(Laws seal'd with blood, that sanction'd every crime,
And bore her banner thro' each ravag'd
l=ust no more—but them' they uYejtee,'
And let t.neut boast a nabler liberty :
.• That !Marty exulting Britons uWil,
g:odes her sciatic' and defends her throne
Protects her altars—guards her circling shore,
Alike the birthright of the rich and poor.
Then dear as oar's, shall monarch prove,
Arid, like our own, deserve a grateful nation's love."

The Poen' concitnies with the following allu-
sion, stilt continuing to address the French Mo-
n,,te h, an allusion at once elegant, poetical, ;rod

pious :
" Gc then, relic of a cherishid race,
Long boy thy hand a peaceful.seeptre grace.;
And as ae.ark her plate of holy rest
Vorind .ilongiciried) on Ararat's green breast,
4lay thine, its perils and its watideringS'o'rer,
Rirpose its safety'on its native shore :
Cu! and with holy gratitude confess,
'that God is gracious, and but wounds to bless."
