One wise-acre holds up the word Revolution ;

Another would new mould,obr fam'd Constitution :
put the'staunch, faithful friends, in our perils rift tried,
These restless state-rnongers would chace fronlour sloe.

They tell us their study is all for our good,' •
But their aims are, in spite of their arts, tindersibOd":*
They will lessen our taxes - our burtlienS withdraw !,
What comes next ?—from the Corsican toiecei4eUW

See our females dishonour'd, our sons from us torn,
To fight foreign battles to'distant clients borne ;
Our harbours choak'd up, our rich fiehis left untill'd,
Our cities bunt down, of with misery

Should we shrink now, my brethren, these, horrors would

come,

And in letters of blood would be written our docot :
Penny wise, and pound foolish," tvc'd then to our cost',
rind we'd been, when the whole of our substance was lost.

Let's perish first—aye, let us tug to the last
Our allls at stake the dread die Irath been cast :
While we've one penny kit, let us give it, •to save
Our country, or fall while we're free as we're brave.

Like ours, the Frenchdemagegues once loudly prated ;
'Like ours, to the people their grievances stated :
They swore they'd untax them, and make them all equal ;
The people believ'd them—but, oh! mark the sequel I

A great nat,on, enslaved by the slaves it exalted,
Now crouches to one who from those slaves revelted ;
Ey upstarts and cut-threats arm plunderers feerd,
They're now indeed equal I—in bondage all rul'd.

Their tyrant our strength aid our happL:ess views
Like a demon malign, like a demon putsUes .
Our utter destittElion : proud, insolent, vain,
It mads him that we should command the -wide main.

Let him threat, ler him foam, for our army and fleet
WiP ne•' er their trophies lay low at his fee'.
Subdue us ! Let him drtd his ColleayueS in sin
Catch the beast, ere they venture to hatter his skin.

31e rises majestic, he stalks to the shore,
His eyes flisliing fury, and awfUl his roarL
The LION Or E NOLAND !--7110'w old Oct AN)fiiies,
As the sounds thunder o'er it, at which Galliatinaices

Great Liberty, hail ! still shall Britain's hold'sons
Protect thy last soil, while the blood: in thein rtins
United, resolv'd in so glorious a cause,
We'll die for our King, for our homes, for ouf

lobn Rull at his monarch may now and then grumble,
iiut ne'er will I;ermit b !se assai!,r.!, to mumble;
like anal and wife jarring, their o'er,
St. I better they love thAn they. e'er did before.

Tarty-nine yegs the Tatr;arch O'cr ti has teigred,
Ty not one breach of h;th, one unfeding aeistaisi'd;
In each priiate duty religionSlyjusi—
As a Sovereign unost tighten: s, most trite to trust;

Under him and his.fathervve've fipurlsh'd r.n3 fought,
,And we'll still.fight as English, Scotch, I.riSlinietrought ;
OUr wives and ourcinidren shat stilt around Us,
For with Heav'n on our side, tht wfiole earth can't con-
found us, .

To th'ALmicirry hope th:ft, these IsTdnds are dear;
WhiTe we fear His high pom.'er, we've nought elso,to fear
With one heart, with crie kids join, then; 'and sing,

on the •plaintiff to shew cause why .he sitonld not
pay the defendant :1.1%; sun; of 45... ex-
penses attending thz.; :irrest of the CetelitlAnt,, under

The defendant had been; -discharge.d • from prison.
~under the Insolvent A& of 180 )- the plaintiff, being
-*nor int of the defendant's haying taken tltp keellehl
of the A&) some time afterwards arrested him : he
was talv-n to, a took-up house, where he:'rernained
tear a week before he was bailed, during which
time-the expenees incurredanyiunted to CI. 14s. A
clause in the Mt provide:, That any
.person having
tobt'ained his discharge under the
,A6l; arid- b-eihg
affer`W,ards arrested for a debt cantraeted Oreious'w
sncli'disettirge, a discretionary pirier'shoUld be fridg-

low such parts of the'costs attending that arrest, to
the person arrested, as be should thMk proper:' An
application had,been made to the Cuurt in the, pre-
,sent case, and a rule granted, calling on the plaintiff
to shew cause why he should not pay the expences.
In spewing cause against the rule, Mr. Ager
pro-
duced the plaintiff's affidaviiistating his ignoranc.e. of
the defendant's having taken the bei.efit of the A6l,
and that the defendant had delayed producing his dii-.-
eharge,,for the purpose of -misleading _the plaintiff ;
ns soon, however, as the plaintiff had learnt. that the
defendant had been so di,,chargecl, the Attorney'
bad immediately stopped the proceedings, and ten-,
dared to the defendant a sum equal to all the ex-
pence's which would have been incurred, had the de-
fendant produced his discharge immediately on his
being •arrested. The Judge (15e.asitsti A LL) was of
opinion that the defendant was only-entitled to the
tmlence of the bail bond, he having « ilfully delayed
producing his discharge, for the purl- ose of increas-
-ing the expences.—Rule discharged.
