To vent our indignation !
We bit ourhosl, and tore our hair,
Of r6tent grog each took.his share,
Invokfug inspiration;. •"
Dot neither argtuirent nor wit
Would aid- our rid jiteuus caase a bit,
To viard off desperation ! -

Tl:ough in our paroxysms of rage
We're fore'd unequal war to wage,
We still may sisew our spirit;
And though we can't:like Boxxv fight;
'Nor quite. so well as Ji7N4us<yrite, •
Their, pride we all inherit,

We thought our Wits were in fill feather,
When first we clubb'd them all together,

(So foil of zeal to serve the nation)

This sad disaster brought,delay,
And till'd each Patriot with dismay,
Till aided by a shout ! .

We own, to sign our sage Petition
We're press'd weak folks of low condition,
,Ind many a hand did guide
Schoolboys and prentices, 'tis true,
Dependent tradesmen, tenants too,
To swell our list complied.

Yet, had we seen the dire disgrace,
We've brought upon the Patriot race',
We surely hid been quiet
We, therefore, vow, to end all strife,
(And each will bind himself for. lite)
'.No more to join PAT-Rini! I.

The-world's great Conqueror, Historians say,
When countless nations bOw'4l beneath his sway,
Stood, pierc'd with g•rit!f,' on India's fartheq shore,
And wept to think he could subdue nu inure:

And r•i• Mr- BRITANNzA--theti thou too may st weep.

THE ARMY

•It is understood that MiijOl-General REBOW is
appointed to the command of the brigade of Life
Guards and Royal Horse Guards (Blue), in the
room of Major-General O'LOGHLIN, who resigns
on account of ill health..

4temOtints, to the extent of'2oo horses, are ,or-
'tiered immediately tau reinforce thefuliowing I? •-
i.,.ritnents
,in the Peninstila; 3th
.and 1 ith
Light Dragoons ; Ist and 2d. Dragoons (heavy)
King's German Legion ; Ist and 2d Light Dra-
goons, King's German Legion.
The 7th Light Dragoons, the strongest Ca-
valry regiment at this time at home„ is to be re,-
moved from Dublin to England.
The West Kent regiment of Militia have march-
ed from Nottingham, in two divisions, for North-
ampton.
The Cavalry arc in cantonments, three leagues
in front of Burgos. . General CASTANOS, with the
Spaniards, is in the villages, one league in' front of
Burgos. The sth and 7th divisions are also, in
front of Burgos. The environs of the hilt on
which the Castle is situated, are occupied by the
Portuguese Cacadores of the 6th division. The
24th, 4'2d, and 79th regiments, forming the first
division, are, we believe, chiefly employed in the
siege.
The Gua"rds and King's German Legion, with
Gen. PACK'S Brigade, are, we understand, some-
what in the rear of the horn-work.

The squadron at present on the North American
station rolisists.of 3 sail of the line, 10 frigates,
8 sloops, and 4 schooners, viz.

San Domingo; Puictiers, Africa, of the line ; Tenedos, Spar-
tan, Maidstone, Nymph, Acasa, llclvidera, !Bolus; Statira,
and Shannon frigates; Curlew, Sophie, Rattler, Morg,iana,
Recruit,, Tartarus, Colibri, and PL inper slc.Jps; Paz, Juni-
per, 'Bream, ,and Cottle schooners.

This force, however, Ministers do not consider
sufficient. The Hermes sloop is ordered tollali-
faX. It is expected that the Endyntion, and other
frigates of the stoutest class, will also be fitted,
and sent out on the same service.

On Saturday se'nnight a detachment of the 6th
Foot,' consisting of two Captains, six Subalterns,
and 400 rank and file, under' the command of
Captain DEWGARD, embarked at Jersey, with or-
ders to proceed direct to Cprunna. A few days
previous to the embarkation, the detachment was
inspected by Lieut.-General DON, who expressed
in the wannest ,terms his most unqualified appro-
bation of the soldier-like appearance of the men,
and the excellent state of their arms and accon-
tremcnts. The detachment embarked in the highest
health and spirits, and will, no doubt, prove a sea-
sonable and valuable refiircement to the :Marquis
of WELLINGTON.
