DOUCLAS,beiow arrested at Sailing, by pider of King 'AMES,
the interfered and ttneatened serious Tumult.

With grief the noble Dou Gt. AS saw
The people rise against the law,
And to the leading soldier said,
Sir jouitl, of Hyndfofd, 'twas my blade
That Knighthood on thy shoulder laid;
For that good deed, permit me then,
A word with these misguided men.—
"' Hear, gentle friends ! ere yet, for me,
Ye break the bands of fealty..
My life, my hon Our, and my cause,
I tender free to Scotland's laws
Are these so weak as must require
The aid of your misguided ire ?
Or, it I suffer causeless wrong,
Is then my selfish rage so strong,
My sense of public weal so low,
That, for mean vengeance on a foe,
Those chords of love I should unbind
Which knit my country. and my kind ?
Oh, no ! believe, in yonder tow'r,
it will not soothe my captive hour
To know those spears our toes should dread,
For me in kindred gore are red ;
To know,.in fruitless brawl begun,
For me, that inotner ►vails her son,
For me, that widow's mate expires, •
For me, that orphans weep their sires,
That patriots mourn insulted• laws,
And cursesthe Dove L. A s for the cause:
0 let your patience ward such ill,
And keep your right to love me still !"

It has been erroneously said thatHoRNE TooKE
has visited Sir FRANCIS BURDETT in the Tower, as
the former has long been in a.state of health iluq
prevents him, from leaving his house.—lt is not to
be doubted, however, that the Baronet has all the
advantage of his advice, though, to do him justice,
he seems to have made such a progress in the poli-
tical system of the Wimb/edon Btformer, that he,
may set up for himself as a Constitution-monger,
particularly as he can profit by the experience of
other tried friends,
