POETRY.

The tyansiation of Or,id's Metamorphoses, on
Which Mr. °AGFA is proceeding, promises to be:
the most poetical as well as accurate that baS yet
appeared in our language. We have ektrauted
from it the following passage as a proof of the
general. spirit and fidelity of the woik.

THE STORY OF BOREAS AND ORITUYIA.
Renowit'd in' war, with virtues all his own,
Now brave ERECTITITE mounts th' Athenian throne,.
.Forth from his loins-.a matchless offspring pour;
Four were the monarch's sons, his daughters four.
Two of the maids with equal beauty fraught,
Young Caimset's and haughty BOILEAS
That pins the blooming Panents•for his bride, '' •
To TEgktts this and hated Thrace allied, ''•
Long- bent in 'vain to charms
Witkpatient suit, preferring arts to anus;
lint when soft breath -avail'd not, roaring forth
In.strains of ire too frequent with the North,
Slave that I was! fitly scorn'd he cried ;
Why did I east my native arms aside,
Power, rage, a threatening voice, ablustering-air„.
And stoop to feeble, inefficient prayer?
Force is my attribute—by filmes I urge
Big lowering clouds, and shake the curling surge,
Toss the light bark, uprooted oaksassail, •
Freeze drifted snow, and beat.the earth with hail, •f•
When 'gainst my brother winds loud war I Wage,
High Heaven my theatre, the clouds my stage,
to furiously, in driving discord ntix'd, • ;
We seek the fight, that echoing
.Heaven betwixt,
'Tis I with, when in hollow caves I storm,
Piere'd by -nay mighty arm, asunder parts,
Rolls the big thunder, and-the lightning darts :
And heave 'gainst rocks above my giant form,
Sap craggy mountains, level plains o'erthrow,.
Shake earth anove, and startle ghosts below,:
Strength is. my weapon, strength my sole resource, -
Then why bend suppliant ? Why not snatch•by force, •
in accents harsh-as these stern BORDAS rav'd,
ben high in wrath his icy 'pinions way'd ;-
Wide o'er the world the fanning tempest past,
AJM di:;tant Ocean sltiver'd in the blast.
Now dim vest aloft the king-disphiy'd, • •
veil'd in darknesss, seized-th'idlrighted maid.
Fana'd by the speed, his tires shinedoubly bright.;
Nor stays,the ravisher his giddy iiigbt, .
'Till far from Athens borne his mantle lowers
In northern shies, and sweeps the Thracian towers,
With procrrant womb his Oasvnvaa there ,
Bore to the- King of. Frosts a twin-horn pair,
Fair as her lovely self no silver wings
Yet veil'd their shoulders, like their parent Icings.
CALAIts and Z.Erttus in their youth appear'd
Untledg'd, devoid of feathers as of hvard-: r.
Bqt pinions now their riper age besp,,A,
And yellow dor.-n o'erspreads each nautly cheek:
Titus pitied, they join the Argonauts of Greece,
-To seek in distant ;taints the golden fleece; ,
And dauntless launching from the Thracian shore,
Stcui with bold prow a sea unknown befere.

THE
,ARMY.—After being quartered in Bantry
and its dependencies, for above two years.' and a
half, the :.;d Garrison Battalion marched to Cove,
the end-of last month, to garrison the torts round
Cork harbour.

The 2d Batt. 39th Regiment has removed from
Weymouth to Exeter.

Tuesday the Ciare Regiment left Woodbridge
Barracks for Ipswich, and, were yest4day re-
placed by the 5-Ith; from Ipswich. The 60th are
expeuti:d at Woodbridge-on Saturday from Nor-
wich.

Saturday morning the' Oxfordshire Militia
marched out of Bath for Bristol, there to be sta-
tioned as before the Election; and on. Saturday
night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, part of
the East MiddleseX Militia arrived at Bath from
Bristol. _ . _

In consequence of the removal of the Royal
Military College from Marlov- Sandhurst, the
Senior Department i)f. that Institution is to be
transferred from High. Wycombe to Farnham,.

partment.

MAILROBDERY.—It is not the least extraordinary
circumstance connected with the robbery of the
Leeds mail7coach, that an interval of three days
should pass without the occurrenceof, a single
fact that can lead to a discovery of the robbers, or
throws any light upon that mysterious transac-
tion, except the foilowing, if it can be considered
as of that description.
On Monday, about noon, we understand, that
the guard, accompanied by two. Bow-street of-
ficers, set out- from town for the-place where the
robbery was supposed' to have
.been committed,
On.reaching Bedford, they obtained infoimatiOti
that three raen.of.a se.spicio,us appearance, with a
light'earavan, had been seen in that and.other
towns on the route of the-niail:coaCh, fin. several
days preriottS the robbery.. . The officers •pro-'_
ceeded northwards in the track of :the caravan,
bat had heard no further tidings. of it so late as
yesterday morning.
A report has been prevalent' in .:the city this
morning,- that all the hags, with a considerable
part of the letters and property, had been fqund
in fields near the road side, about mid-way be-
tween Kettering and Iligham Ferrers. This re-
port, however, is nnlonnded.
annotincing the robbery, We stated that the
gnarl( declared, that he.was not more than.five
minutes in the act of leaning over the root and
conversing with the coachman ;
.and that; in this
interval, .the sixteenliags• were 'abstracted ; but
whether he nflirinett,the s-amein his deposition be-
fore the Lord Mayor, the examination being O-
vate, we have .not the ofaszertaining; - It
is said, that the guard travelled by the side of the
coaoimari, on the box, betweth three and • four
iniks, and that on ,returning to the dickey,' he
discovered I,le robbery—a ,c,tpry more consistent
with probability, than the. one he. told on arriving
at. the Post =office on Tueillay. morning.

If Cookr., .the Actor, had left any property be-
hind 'him, some difficulties might. hate attended
the disposal 'of it, for be 'seemed to consider
theatrical and matrimonial engagements With .equal
indifference; and there are several forsaken dames
who bore the honour of his, name, and might have
asserted their respective pretensions to the
ritancel But, doubtless, unwilling to be the
cause of controversy after 'death, he lived hi such
a manner as..to afford no ground fdr Dosthuthous
litigation.

09 :Monday, evening,
_about eight o'cloCk,. as'
Mr. Iliginbottom, a tailor, was passing through,
a court leading fromMardour streeti to nerwick-
street, he was-attacked by a gang of robbers, con-
sisting. of three or four, who hustled him, knocked
him doWn backwards, and rifled hiS pockets or
three Bankio:i. -England 'notes, • sonic silver, and
other property, with which -they made their
escape. An alarm was given by Mr. Higinhot-
tom, and the
.robbers were pursued, but to no
purpose.

it being still quite calm; the brig.a complete wreck,
quite unmanageable, and in a sinking state, I was
reluctantly compelled to surrender to their very
superior force, conceiving any farther resistance,
when there was not a possibility of an escape,
*could be a vain sacrifice of my brave crew. •

I have to regret to state the loss of two lArave

FRENCH PAPERS..

CONMERATIONS DN THE WAR WlTiltiltUS3ll.

PARIS, OCT: 18,—The observdtioti
cio to Louis XII. haS been Often repeated
" To make war with suceess, yowl-bustfirst .haVe
money ;-2dly, money ;.-7-3dly, nininey."- HOw
much more just and noble is the maxim proclaim-
ed by Hannibal, adopted by Frederick, and of
'which we 'have so often seen the brilliant appli-
cation by that..heio who has surpassed them u.
bath :---" It belongs to war to support war." Must
a nation begin by exhausting itself, in order ,to
inflict vengeance. on ; its enemy should not.
all_ the weight of the contest be made to fall on
those adversaries. Who have provoked it ? The
firsteonsideration, then,' the first duty of the head
Of a great people, is to render sacred and invio-
lable the country which it inkabits. Since We
have seen realised amongst us the Wish which
Alexander expressed when at the point of death,—
since the sceptre and the sword were-placed in the •
hands of the most worthy, have we felt any alarM
for the safety of our frontiers;. Have war, and all
its attendant, scourges, 'deforthed 'the- soil polected
by his powerful arm ?, It was enough 'for him to
sbew himself,: in order to drive them back on the
territory of the presumptuous enemy who threat-
envd them.
14 vain did that enemy confide in the immensity
of distance. This age was destined to see revived
the times of Cyrus and of Alexander. Seventy
days have- 'scarcely elapsed since the first FrenCh
bayonet glittered in the eyes of the Russians, and
already the eagle of Napoleon floats over the an-
cient palace of the Czars. FOr the first time, the
sans of
.the Seine, of the Loire, 'and the Rhone,
penetrate' in o "regions hardly known to their fa-
thers. But the descendants of the Gauls,who laid
Rome in ashes, do not exclaim like their ances-
tors,--Woe to the vanquished! Never did civiliza-
tion obtain a:finer victory over barbarism. It is
the IConquerors who save the vanquishcd from
the effects of . their own rage. A subject of the
ussian Czar dared to' will that MOscow bould
perish,, and the army of the French Monarch
. snatched that superb city from destruction. But
let us cease for a moment to.follow the rapid sweep
of our victorious: legions,- and let us calmly con-
template the wise arrangements which prepared
their triumph, and secure to them its advantages.
Let. us view,, with' DCW- admiration, another exam-
plc of war maintaining war. - Let us lay'open to
the envious. view of our rivals the immense re-
sources presented by the conquered country, and
. of. which the enemy, by his very position, is
henceforward deprived.
. tls soon as all hope of peace vanished, the ar-
mies destined to support• the cause of Europe
against the new Allies of 'England, Were put in
'notion.. From the first day. of -hOstilit-ieS., en-
...,
canyed-on the enemy's:territorY,. tltey Tdruied an
uninterrtipted, chain from the mouth'Of
Nie-
men to the Sources'of the Bug. On thii•Vdse of
1.50 leagues in extent, rested all the i;t opera-.
Lion which now unite in Moscow, the central point
to:Whicli they were directed by the soul of this
grand. movement, The corps engaged never
ceased ti) maintain the closest mutual connection.
But, however valuable to the conqueror this. vast
portiOn of thedomains of his adversary , however
injurious its loss. to the vangnished,--it'Ava's not
till the present moment that the latter must begin
to fee. a;i the depth of his wounds,—all the dan-
ger of his situation. A short sketch will demon-
strate this :
Mo.seow, which all the efforts of P-eter the Great
could not strip of its importance,
.noe even of the
.Tank and characteristics of the true capital of Rus-
iS situated nearly in the -centre of that. Vast
:empire ; the Asiatic portion being excepted.±lts
*surrounding provinces are incomparkibly th,e ost
fertile of, any id those clinies.• The more iipilherly
districts consist almost onifornily of Vast marshes,
impenetrable forests, and sandy plains. The du-
ration and excessive rigour, of the winters con-
,demn this portion of the Russian States -to nearly'
absolute sterility. In the more southern pro-
vinces, on the other hand, we find steppes or
boundless deserts, whose gravelly soil is impreg-
nated with salt, anti totally destitute of Nvood and
water. The .:province of.Moscow.andits agjoin-
ingGovernments, situated between these extremes„
produce in: such abundance all the necessaries of

life; that from that large city, as a sort of general
entrepot, they were spread over the whole surface
of the empirel A single glance at the maps be
sufficie-A to spew; that from Moscow iAtte'all the
great roads of Russia. We may distinguish nine
principal ones,-diverging in all dircc,tions.;:.and

But the Russians, in aiming so cruel a blow at

century, the still imperfect work of their eiviliia-
tion;—have they not done us sonic mischief that
may.balance their own enormous los.ses ? Have.

the finest cities in the world"; they have, without
any advantage to their cause, treated their own
Country more barbarity than Attila ever dis 7
played against an enemy whO had provoked his
fury. While inflicting a mortal. Wound on their

country; they have done us little or no harm,----A
few observations will be sufficient to prove this
double truth.

Three fourths of Moscow are in ashes. Doubt-
less we must deplore this frightful' calamity, the
effect of barbarism Without example but this mis-
fortune, falls entirely upon our enemies, and can-
notendancrer.the existence of our legions, as some
persons, adopting an -opinion totally destitute of
foundatio'n, might fora moment believe. Suppose
Paris _burnt, could the army which occupied the
Beauce, the Orleanais, and Picardy, in short, the
provinces from ;which it 'derives Subsistence,—could.
this army want' provision ?—Certainly not. Very
well, our position is exact:y siinilay.to the case
we have now .put. But there is one essential re-.
mark, which modifies. the comparison to, our ad-
yantage:: althost all parts of France are rich and
well peopled, consequently two hostile armies
could there find abundant resources. The same,
cannot be. said of Russia. The central territory
of that vast empire alone presents the advantages
of,fertility ; the, remainder is- comparfiti,Vely a de-,
fert, as uaproductive of men as of -the means of.
subsistence. Our entrmnce into Moscow and the
position of the enemy, driven from all his internal
proVinces, sufficiently, tell how little we have ,to
fear frobi the threatS, contained in' h,i's ridiculous
proclamations, of reducing.: us to the most severe::
privations. Far from being ourselves exposed to
them, we are. even like;y to famish St. Peter
„
burgh this winter; and. our army,, nterposed be:.;
.tween the enemy and his two capitals, already
closes the channel ,of all those supplies which are.
indispensably necessary for its support. But while,
_amidst resources ,of every kind, Our soldiers enjoy
repose from their fatigues in Moscow, partially
saved by their courage,, the Russians, thaaks to
the
.4ilful manoeuvres of their. General, will want
every thing in their own country. The,enemy is.
flyingto Casan, 500 leagues from St. Petersburgh,,
mid 300 from Moscow : the latter city should have
been the bulwark of the empire, the rampart of,
his army, the depot of his stores, the centre of
his communications, and the:granary of his-sub-
sistence ; andin it our army, :naster of all its move-
meats, is. deriVing new strength to finish on the
confides of Asia the reduction of those barbarians

whom it has marched to combat f,-oin the extre=
mines of Europe..t.
One great inanll of the 18th rentury blamed
another for employing his pen in writing the his-
tory of Russia. The same reproach will not ap-
ply to him who shall contunie it to that period
when it becomes a chapter in our annals. It must
always be with the most lively curiosity that the
philosopher will 'inquire. what the Muscovites

were, what they wished to be, and what they are
become.

English companies and English warehouses were esta-
blished in Moscow• for the commerce of the Caspian, which is,
extremely various and productive. . The hemp, -f ox, .

Sir TuogAs TtIRToN must have been lamentably

entertain the Surrey Electors, upon the conclusion
of the poll; but personal attacks upon Lord. CRAW-

atiti jOze trucks iii the stable. What respect
could,the.Baronet have for the understanding of
the good
.people of Surrey,- if he could suppose
that they .would be gratified by such gloss and.
pointless ridicule. Yet the Baronet appeared, to
be somucirdelighted with his own humour upon
these elevated subjects, that he dvielt on them for
some time with eyident self-complacency. We
-need
not, indeed, ask what respect be could have
for the understanding of the Electors, nor can
there be any doubt of what they .must think of

Mr. SOANE'S new front in Lincoln's Inn-fields•

first Architects in town, and is really to be classed •
among the most elegant embellishments of the
metropolis it is painful, therefore, to find that
it is the subject of a continued hostility, which
seems to indicate envious, persecution-rather than
public spirit. This is not the way to encourage a
liberal zeal in those who are 4isrsed to cultivate
the Arts, and have the means to display their taste
and science for the improvement of genius and the
advantage- of the public. What would Lord Bint-
