JOHN BULL.-r 1 SONG."

Nhilst some of the ancients are lavish in praise,
kshar great charaders brighten'd theifdayi,
II sing you a man not unnoticed by fame,
that shall rival them all, and lohn,Bull is his name:

Ills p.,sture, brave fellow, is liberty's field,
hric'd round by religion, impregnable field I
Of conscience and right, he's so fully aware,
That his motto must strike you ; 'cis--iwich them gwbo elgie.

Constitution his collar, just 1:&s his gold chain,
kihich by magic elastic extends o'er the main ;
where in gr‘and 'amphitheatres of wood, hi's dread roar
Spreads terror or stillness on every shore.

His patience and flower have often been tried,
'the first does him honour, the last is his pride:
`jet sOtcnerous his nature all infry he'scorns;
woe‘to the man that dares play 'with his horns.

Should Boni), once ventnreio come within fe:Ach
13f John Bull, as he iambics alOng' the green beach,
lay you a wageYone.hUndrect.to ten,
lat "'ever say --;€ :p.4riez Fraxcqs," again.

Sorrow, brother Britons, lit's.dteerfully ting,
tong life to Bohn Bull, and his keeper the King,
Nor forget the good lady, Old Enisl,nd, their bother,
For sure the whole w,,rld can't produce such ancithr.

" In the course of the correspondence whicb, it

the only; Dispatch' by which Conditions were pre.=
Scribed to Mr. Erskine for the conclusion of an ar
ran etnent with thiS country, or the matter to which
't related :-.,-that Mr. Smith, in his reply, assured
vlr. J. that no'sucti, declaration had ever before been •

added, that if that Dispatch had been communicated
At the time of the arrangiiment, air if it had been
known that the proposhotiS contained in it were tire .1
°Lily ones on which he was authorised' to treat, an
arrangement would not have been made t
notwithstanding this assurance, Mr. -Jackson, in his

that Mr. Erskine's' instruNkins were at the. time
made known to this ,Government M Mr.
Smith's answer, an intimation‘iad been distinOy
given to him, that sucit, an observation was load-
and especially after the explicit asse-
veratiou of this Governioent,. I:hat they had no
such knowledge, and that if they had had. it, such
art arrangement would tat have been made
that in Mr. Jackson's next letter the came gross -in-
tiinuation had been reiterated, and even aggravated;
and t :at it only remained, in order to preclude op-
Pottuntties which had been thus abused, to inform
411% J. as Mr.:Smith did, that no further communi-
cations would-be received from. him ; and that the
necessity of this determination would without delay -
enlade known to his Govanment,m ,th an assurance
to it at thesame time, that a ready attention would
be given to any communications affecting the inte-
rests of the two nations, through any other Func-

BRIG TON, Disc. 1.

The Manner h which the intrigues of the French
at the Court of Ispahan were defeated, and their ef-
Torts, not only to fix their influence over the Persian
Councils, but to establish themselves in the Persian
Gulph, rendered abortive, does great credit to orr,
Government. The French had aCtually succeeded
negociating a treaty with Persia, by which an
'island in the Persian Guiph was to be ceded to
Them, the possession of which would have been of
the greatest detriment to- us.—The Treaty has been
cone Away, and the French, we believe, have been
exPelled from the Persian Court. A glance at the
Map will suffice to she the great value we ought to
set upon the friendship of Persia. .
In the tempestuous weather of Monday last, as a
barge of 60 tons burthen, called the Rent, belonging
.to Mr. itla.soN, of Maidstone, was passing Oliathwa
readl, between Chatham and the Nore, on its voyage
from. London ,fo Maidstone, laden with grocery aiid'
other goods, of the value of 40001. ; it became ne-
cessary, ip order to secure .the-ves-sel, her
.crew, and
cargo from destruction, .to. nip her on shore. Scarcely
bad that measure with.great exertion been, effected,
and the, crew
.proiidentially, removed into the boat,'
When the barge sunk : she has. been since saved,
but net until she bad been eight 'lours under water.
The gouds,,particiiilarly the sugars, were much da-
maged; the loss cannot yet be ascertained, bu. it
may piobablYraMount to several hundred pounds.--
This tar.fortuitate event most forcibly evinces one of
themany.great advarnages.to result frem the Thames
and Medway Canal, which will afford a complete
inland:Uavigation from London to Maidstone, and
effectually Erevtmc a repetition of So serious an acci-
dent..
By (a PrOclamation isseed by Sir George Prevost,
for apprelieedieg the offenders; it appears, that; on
the 13th day of September last, John Kelly, Mate
of- the schooner Three. Sisteis,,belonging to the pro-
vince .of Scotia, together with one Edward
Jordan, • who, with his family, were passenger's 'on
board the said vessel, bound from the Bay of Cha-
leur to Halifax, mutinied, and, rose on John Stairs,
the master of the vessel, being then in the prosecu-
tion of his voyage ; ,and having piratically got pos-
• session Of 'the vessel, ran away with her, together
with a valuable Cargo of fish laden on board, havitig
previously, with the assistance of the wife of Ed-
ward Jordan, murdered, in a most cruel and bailie-
roui manner, Tho Mas Heath and Benjamin IVra-
tlies, the -remaining part of the crew, and made
-exertion to murder, in like manner, John Stairs,who
-oscaped from, them by jumping overboard, and pre-
served his life in a wonderful manner, by floaling.on
