ADDRESSED TO
The MARQUIS and MARCHIONESS of EXETER,
"PITH WISHES OF MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE SEA-

£ N.

Welcome, kind welcome to the infant year,
Which storms, and coid And wintry tempests bear,
.When winds in snow their ruthless passage trace,
And sleety atoths jostle in their race.

the feather'd tribe sit mournful on the thorn,
Which neither flower, nor bud, nor leaf adorn.
.The beasts of foret seek their torpid rest,
With hairy horror, and with shaggy crest.
111.

Yet welcome kindly to the infant day,
That tells another rear upon its way,
When May again shall ail her charms unfold,
And Ceres shall again be clad in gold.

So harbingers the Robin's Warbling throat,
Sings lo Paean with-instinaive note,
And, joining in prophetic voice with Man,
Counts other years with those already ran.

Where princely Burghl/ey bade the Palace rise,
Which shews'hini as magnificent, as wise,
Where soar the turret, and the vaulted dome, '
Mirth, 'warmth, and conifOrt find a lasting home.

Where nowayset and a oßit x.:. join,

Sweet Robin carrol, and the_ banquet share,
And pay with gratitude your homage there.

For the life a Citizen saved amongst the Ro-
mans, a Civic Crown was given. What remunera-
tion should await the individual who-has been-the
means of preserving. the lives of hundreds of our
fellow-creatures ? Medallions of public bodies are
intended to .commemorate aas of national impor-
tance and-dee' ds of individual heroism. Mr GREAT_I;EAD, of,South- Shields,- has been lately presented
-with "the Honorary Medal of the Royal .Humane
Society, for his ingenious invention of • the Life..

GRiATHEAD, in a Letter to Capt. REED,

It may not be uninteresting to present our readers
withia copy of the letter which was sent by the
Emperor jostm 11. on the day of his death, to the
lately deceased Field Marshal Count de LASC r. It
is as follows:
" My dear Marshal LASCY—The impossibility
with my 'trembling hand of writing even these few
lines, is the sole reason which necessitates me to
employ that of another, at a moment when the
period of, my departure is approaching with hasty
steps. I should ' ungrateful indeed were I to
quit this life without expressing my sense of the
obligations which, 'OA so many accounts, I owe-to
you. It will he a source• of gratification to me to'
-have manifested those sentiments to the whole
world.—Yes, my esteemed Friend, I take a pride
in acknowledging, that whatever importance may
have been attached to my charater, it is to you I
am indebted for it ; it is you who have 'formed it ;
it is you from whom I have derived all the infortna-

tion I ever possessed ; it is you from whose instruc-
tions I have attained a knowledge of mankind. In-
dependent of my personal obligations, it is to you
ihe'whole army is indebted for its formation, its.
discipline, its tnilitary'appearance, and the esteem
in which it is held. The confidence reposed in
'your deliberations, your attachment to my person,
which no circumstances or events have ever been
alpable'of altering, renders itimpossible for me to
thank you in terms adequate' to your deserts. I be-
hold your tears flow for my sake. The tears of a
great and wise man are the'richest tribute that can
be paid to Tnir memory. Receive, with tender
sympathy, lily last Jarman ;,and be assured, that
quitting only pain I reel in qung the world," arises
froin the necesiity of leaving that small circle of
friends, of which certainly you ate the most va-
lued.—Adieu! Remember your most sincere and
affedionate friend, - " JOSEPH."
