The Gentleman formerly styled BobbN ADAI
delicate Anma, and the delicate Plenepo, has
thought proper to publish two letter addressed
to the Bishop of Wf NcnusTEß, charging his Lord-
ship with accusing him " by name of an offence
little short of High Treason." This matter re-
lates to the extraordinau misSion to Russia,which
Mr. BURKE many years ago absolutely charged
on Mr. Fox, as a treasonable act.—As this charge
has been often made, it is very strange that Mr.
ADAIR. never thought of answering it till this
-moment. But " dead men tell no tales."
It will be seen that some paupers have peti-
tioned against the new Poor Bill. This has been
cited by several Papers as a proof of the distress
in which such persons must be,- " as it is the
fire/ time a petition so signed was ever heard of."
The whole tone and character of the petition be-
tray the framers, and confirm its real Objects ;
but it so happens that it is not the first petition
of the sort that was ever heard of, inasmuch, as
'at the period when the revolutionists were work-
ing upon the feelings of the people itt the reign
of Charles the First the same trick was played
off.—Jaume says, VOL vii. p. `277-----" Another pe-
tition was presented by several poor people, or
beggars in the name of many thousands roare."---
' " Such low arts," adds the Historian, " of popu-
larity were affected ; and by, such illiberal cant
Were the people incited to civil discord and con,
vuisions,"—(Jolin Bull.) - •

TO LORD BYRON,
ON HIS VINDICATION OF POPE.
BY THE REV. W. 11. DB.112431014),

Thanks, IlYnos, thanks !—What power of trith tit last
liar - o'er thy S'OUI her inspiration cast ?
What. kind redeeming spirit come to save
Thy fame from ruin, and th' oblivious grave?
Tho' virtue blame thy misanthropic line, •
Yet let her praise one manly deed of thine :
Weep, dm' she must., to see thy poW'rs
Full=sumin'd to soar beyond the bounds of time,
Soiling their beauteous plumage in the dust 4 -
--'et to thy-genius let her voice.be just ;
Hail the glad change, elate with hope to find
Such noble thoughts yet glowing in thy mind ;
And loud exclaim, in Joy's extatic
The lost is found !—The dead is living alili !

great, :Was good, to gird'thee in thy might,
And rifle puissant to defend the right,
When drivellers, envious of the poet's name,
Would tear frcrn Twickenham's bard his well-earn4d fame :
'Twas like thyself to rise in vengeance due,
And with thy .lightningS scathe, the tasteless crew
That mew and bark, and criticise and preach,
To blast an excellence they ne'et Can reach.

Illustrious POPE ! beloved of Att. the Nine !
The fairest wreaths of
that
yet are thine,
Thine all the grades that to truth belong,
Thou voice of harmony,. thou sourof son,* !
Like thine own HoMER'S Joy E I see thee aft
A mighty monarch in the realms of wit, ' • -
And from thy throne suspend a golden chain,.
And challenge all thy foes—a graceless train.
To pull thee down—they all shall strive in vain.
Let the long ranks of dullness issue forth,
The .scribes, and cold-blood critics of the North,
The Cockney bards, the namby:pamby hosts,
The awkward tribes that affectation boasts,
Coxcombs and Apes, the simpering and the silly,
-From sweet Lord FANNY to plebeian WILLY,
The garret's swarms and spawnings.of the lake ;,--•
Vain all their power thy heaven-built throne to shake
Fixed on.th' eternal base of truth and sense,
Of nature, genius, taste,-and eloquence.

Each mise enamoured o'er thy cradle hung,
Dropped dews Ilymettian on thy infant tongue ;
And tuned thy lips to sing of flocks and swains,
The woods green bowers,. and autumn's rich domains,
In lays as sweet as c'er in grove or Mead,
Breathed from Sicilian pipe or Mantuan reed.
Boldly to sing the Critiesart they taught,
In strains so just, with classic lore so fraught,
'That e'en the Stagyritc to praise would bend,
And great Longinus hail thee as his friend.
They gave thee next with magic skill to move
The inmost springs of sympathy and love.
And from thy bosom, pieit'd by secret wb, .•
Bade the full tide of song melodious flow,
With such prevailing power that still the tear
Starts to the- eye, and gushes while we hear !

Now deeper strains of poignant passion roll,
And EloisaN sorrows touch the soul. :
Ye watery jinglers, in assertion bold;
Who cry that Pone, is passionless and cold,
lYlieta have ye heard love-stricken beauty weep,
In tones so sad, • so. eloquent, so deep ?

But lo ! Belinda bursts upon'the sight,
A star of joy !-a seraph of delight !
Girt with her sylphs ia matchless grace she moves,
Like I'aphian oddess with her playful loves.
What charms divine her radiant form invest ?
Th' immortal cestus glows beneath her breast,
With witching power her influence to dispense,
Thrill 41-ery heart, and rivet every sense.
She, lu'veliest daughter of the sportive muse,
In accents sweeter than ambrosial dews, .• ,•
Winning as love, and.smiles to which arc given
Tte sweet-enthralling agencies of Heaven,
Claims for her bard the bard's immortal name,
And.what rash mortal dares contest the claim ?

'lf roused by wrongs, by bitter slander wrung,
Provoked by dunces, and by witlings stung,
From Satire thou In.st scif& th'.avenging
And winged her shafts upon a wprthless foe,
.Tho' Prudeneelinger to approve the deed,
The muse awards thee her triumphant raced.

Iligll-mindedl3YuoN, be it thine to tell
With what stroag powers he strikes the ethic shell,
The springs of virtue teaches to explore,
And how to truth he does not stoop but soar,
An eagle flight, how far beyond the wing
Of envious claws that scream and think they sing !
Yes, he soar'd upward by the heavenly road
That leads to Immortality's abode ;
Taught the calm paths-of happiness to scan,
" Anti justified the ways of. God to man." . .
0 theme sublime ! how far beyond the aim
Of those who now would blast the Poet's fame.
-0 theme sublinie ! most worthy of the art,
And power, and genius of the Poet's heart,

•
Long may'st thou live, 0 BYnoN, thus to guard,
As well thou canst, the glory of the bard. -
The grateful Huse in.after time may raise •
Some bard for thee G 6 to trim thy withering bays,"
And shield thy fame,. when witlingst fops, and clowns,
Would from thy temples steal thy laurel crowns.

A son of song, (if worthy of the,name)
E'en now, in Erin, lights for thee a flame
That seldom glows in this ungenial clime,
Where no excitement wakes tne rage of rhyme.
A hapless land, where, oh ! her shame to own,
No bard is honthired and no muse is known.
This act of thin; like Charity, shall hide
A crowd of faults, and spread thy glory wide.
O blest with genius, why that genius wrong ?
Why not to virtue dedicate thy song ?
Oh ! I could-weep to think a soul like thine
E'er laid one offering on corruption's shrine.
But ere repentance, come too late, has shed
Her tearful vial ti'er thy hoary head ;
While yet thy star, with undiminished force,
Flames in its highest sphere, pursue the course
Where wisdom loads, and to her native skies,
Plumed with her, pinions, let thy geniA rise;
Rise with the spring of renovated youth,
The all the matchless energies of truth
Then with thy great pricursor shalt thou know,
Virtue alone is happiness below."
With his shall fature ages reed thy name, •
Bright in the zodiac of poetic fame ;
And e'en the present, won to kindness, raise
Her proud Memorial of thy well-earned praise.

l'„,11 We regret that-we had not an earlier opportunity of gra-
tifying onr Readers with the above admirable.vmdication of our
great ethical Bard. We are, however, surprised that the Au-
thor has overlooked his countryman AloonE, who, whatever
may be the tendency of some of his juvenile productions, cer-
tainly possesses no ordinary degree of poetical genius.

Yesterday the . Rev. Sir W. BLOMBERG per-
formed Divine Service to the KING and his
Household, at the Palace. The Duchess of ,
Gloucester, the Princess Augusta, and the Prin-
cess Sophia visited the Duke and Duchess of
Clarence yesterday.—:The Princess Augusta at-
ten'led Divine Service yesterday at the Chapel
Royal.--,Yesterday Prince 'Leopold attended
Divine SerVice•at the German Chapel.
ANECDOTE OF DR. PARR AND SIR JAMES
MAC KINTOS U.—Son-it years since, Sir JAMES,
then Mr. MACKINTOSH, dining in a large party
with Dr. PARR, the conversation turned upon an
Irish Roman Catholic Priest, who had been exe-.
cuted for treason at Maidstone. Mr. Mackintosh
was most violent in his observations, upon the cul,
prit, who had already paid the penalty of crime;
so violent and so .severe, that the Doctor, who,
with all his wrong headedness, had then a touch
of humanity in his composition, turned round,
and petrified Mackintosh, by saying,—'' Sir,—
the criminal who has been hanged was an Irish-
[nail—he might;havc . been. a Scotchman : he was
a Priest—he ,night have been a lawyer : he .was
consistent—he might ha.:c
_been—AN APOSTATE"
