GI TIED by lleav'n's peculiar grace,
The boast of C x n t. ct n ac's honour'd race;

Oh ! take again command :
The Nation turns on thee its eye,
For none thy absence can supply,
Return to guard the Land.

Return, Ohl A LIS iciN's purest light,
Like Spring, enliVning, active, brigh.t;

Nor let thy Country pine;
Her loyal Sons will strait be gay,
No low'ring storms will darkest days
But PHCZRUS cloudless shine.

As a fond Mother pours her cries,
In hopes to melt the pitying skies—

Her darling Son away ;
Check'd by the deep Carpathian main,
Whose adverse waves the bark detain,
In some far distant bay :

With anxious eyes she views the shore,
And prays for winds to waft him o'er,

From perils of the Sea:
BRITONS for HIS thus eager wait,
Whose Wisdom could preserve the State-;.
Thus PITT they wish for thee.

Shouldst thou again the Nation guide,
Her great example and her pride,
Blithe Elope would cheer the Land;
All would exulvto meet the foe
Firm Faith in ev'ry breast would glow,
And lead us.hand in hand.

Who then would heed the threaening GAUL,
Her vassals HOLLAND, STAIN, and all
Who dar'd invade our shore
Cu LT U it IL would.cheerfully combine
The widow'd Elm and wanton Vine,
And blengs on thee pour.

In our Paper
of Tuesday we inserted a para-
graph respeding an accident that happened some
time since, near Readings in Berkshire.-,-The cir-
cumstances therein mentioned being erroneously
stated, we take an early opportunity to relate the
fads, as they really occurred : two persons, dressed
as gentlemen, travelling in a curricle, going down ,
a hill about four miles from Wallingford, one of the
horses began kicking ; the chaise was not overturn-
ed, but the two persons juniped out—one of whom
had his leg most dreadfully fradured, in which state
he lay for several hours before persons could be pro-
cured to take him to the nearest village, which was
South Stoke. The unfortunate gentleman then de-
sired the most eminent surgeon in the neighbour.

lent an injury, engaged 11 consultation early the
next morning from Reading, but notwithstanding
every:Cate and attention the patient died early on ,
the following day. We are authorized further to
state, that no conversation respelling settling his
affairs ever pasied from the medical gentlemen, nor
did the unfottunate .man even mention that the per-
son who accompanied hire was a female; neither did
she discover herself till after his death : none of the
medical gentlemen ever slept in the house, and the
Surgeon who attended,in consultation from Reading,
was only with the patient a few hours in the morn.
'ArtEcooTt.—When WILLIAM the Conqueror
invaded this Country, and had reduced nearly the
whole to obedience, he took up his abode at Windsor.
A country Gentleman, proprietor of BUllstrode,, now
in possession of the Duke OfgOItTLAND, alone refused
to submit ; he armed his tenants, and threw up rude
fortifications round his house, and swore he would
hold it out to the last extremity. WILL lAht being
informed, sent word to the brave man that he wished
to have a conference with him; but he, being afraid
of the consequences, refused to come, unless the
King would pledge his Royal word, that he-should
come to no harm. . This word being pledged, the
brave Englishman went to Windsor, seated astride
on a Bull, and held a conference with the King,
who asked him his reason for resisting, to which lie
answered, 4 6 That he preferred death to poverty—
and he would fight for his lands to the last." This
answer so pleased the Conqueror, that he entered
into terms with him, and gave him a charter to hold
his lands by the name of Bullarolle, in allusion to
the manner in which he was mounted, which his
descendants continued to do till within about
tury ago. This is a remarkable example of the
advantage of a man standing up boldly in defence of
his own right.
- - -

The damage sustained by the dreadful fire which
lately happened at Bombay, is computed at six hun-
dred anti fifty thousand pounds ; nearly five hun-
dred horses were burnt to death. The houses de-
stroyed will not again be erelted where they for-
merly stood, which is a measure calculated to guard
against a similar calamity.
