IMPROMPTU.
Lord SurriELD exclaims " It is Wrong, I declare,
" To sacrifice men to preserve a poor hare,
" And the dreadful spring guns are so sure in their aim
" That their only design is to render men gamc."

FLINT.

" Oh ! leave us spring-guns," cry the hares and the birds,
" We fear less from them than from Sportsmen, by herds,"
" The latter, indeed, may our blood sometimes spill,
" But we always can hope they are Cockneys in skill."

lands, &c. &c. &c. He was Ambassador from Holland to this
country at the Peace of Amiens. His life was devoted to the
welfare of his country, and the happiness of his fellow-crea-
tures. His sick bed and last moments were models of that
piety and calm resignation to the will of the Almighty, which
distinguish the death of a true Christian.
It is very much to the credit of the Covent-
Garden Managers that they intend to bring for-
ward a Tragedy written by the late Mr. BAILEY,
whose sudden death is well knoWn to the public,
as it is said that the comfort of his family in a
great degree depends upon the success of his
dramatic production. On this occasion whatever
may be the merits of the work, Benevolence must
smooth the brow of Criticism.
Miss FOOTE, it seems, has had an abundance
of liberal offers from Provincial Managers, so
that al the end of her season at Covent-Garden
Theatre, she is likely to reap such a plentiful
harvest as will enable her to resist all matrimo-
nial overtures that may not be founded on reci-
procal affection.
STATISTICS.—By the Census of 1824, it ap-
pears that the republic of Hayti contains 935,335
inhabitants. The regular army amounts to 45,520
men ; the National Guards to 113,328. France
would be mad to attempt the conquest of such a
power, situated at such a distance from Europe.
