tlotrouttrni Stir,
BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
year 1796 i, I had been afflicted with the Lues Venerea ;
which, ft urn its obstinately resists us[ every coarse of medicine
prescribed by the mast eminent of the faculty here, and un-
dergoing severalsevere courses of salivation, and twice dis-
charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last year
my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put-a period
'to myexistence—l had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
nine on each arm, ;old my legs were broke out in a frightful
manner; soy right was dreadfully painful, and had been ni a
state of ulceration fur the last seven years; my left had also
two large' nodes on it, was very touch discoloured, and gave
me such excruciating pairs, particularly when warm in hed,
as nearly to deprive a I, of rest ; iu this lamentable state, I
was recommended by Mr. J. Thompson, (who received so
great a cure by them here), to take your Leake's Patent Pills,
which I began t• do an the inith of May ; in the course. of a
fortnight I began to receive heuerit -i s little snore than a
month the ulcers on my head and arms were soundly healed—
soon atter, the sores ma my legs healed also ; leaving, how-
ever, considerable diseolourations its the skin, and pain in the
bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, are a little
longer perseverance in yomr iovaluahle Medicine, sokstded ;
the nudes disknersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, anti
the nocturnal pains gradually going olf.—l thus became, by
your liberal advice and medicine, perfectly free from all soy
former complaints—have recovered my former spirits a nd
strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which state having
continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew
ma e, I am at a loss its what terms ti express my gratitude, but
beg yon, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make
this my case as public as possihle, as I shall on every ocea-
ion ; in so doing you will greatly

MODERN PATRIOTISM, or, a Few STANZAS, suggested

It is with no slight degree of pleasure, that,
amidst the venom of democratical Writers; whose
productions appear daily in the factions Journals,
we see PoeTs of a loyal description, and of su-
perior talent* and attainments, endeavour to
counteract the poison, and arraying themselves in
the cause of their KING and their Country. The
present work, which yesterday issued froth a loyal
press,,, distilays so much gond sense, knowledge,
and poetical aPii it, that we deem it entitled to so
early a notice in our critical department. We
present the Preface to our Readers, because it
contains sentiments congenial with our Own,
and, we trust, wlth those of the People at large,
respecting the desperate Reformers of these times;
and we extract a few of the-stanzas, because they
pay a well-merited tribute to a distinguished cha-
racter, and are peculiarly applicable at this period,
when he has just succeeded in a contest for Liver-
pool, where his value was 100 well known for
inns to be in danger of tailure, and where his
triumph is the subject of general exultation.

" NOTICE TO THE READER.

" Presumiitg, gentle Reader, that you are at present only
on your way to the following lines, it may be as well to ap
prize you of a circumstance, which I should not otherwise
have thought it necessary to mention, namely, that I ant no
professetl Poet. If acquainted with the Latin tongue, you are
probably aware that indignation is a great promoter of rhym-
ing, " Fatit indignatio yenslm," and to this cause, and to no
other, you may confidently ascribe the present Hight. lam
far removed from the scenes which toy Muse has taken so
much to heart ; nay, it is not impossible that the space which
intervenes may be occupied by rolling seas and fair•spreading
kingdoms. But I have the misfortune (for in these times it
is often a source of pain) to carry about with me.a stsumg
Engli,h feeling; and nu distance can so far affect my optics
as to make me read the scurrilous railings of Hunt, and other
such political desperadoes, without the deepest emotions of
disgust and contempt.

"'These Gentlemen hold themselves up as patriots of the
purest description ; and truly, if patriotism consist in decry-;
ing the most approved institutions of our country, and vili-
fying the most exalted characters-with unrelenting rancour
(to say nothing of darker purposes), their claim must be al-
lowed. But its originality may, perhaps, admit of si►me ques-
tion, All countries, particularly such a: lie within the tro-
pics of libeity, have at times engendered a nest of such scor-
' pions. There are even grounds for conjecturing that the breed
existed, though under a different shape, in times anterior to
history. Mythology informs us of certain cal th-burn giants,
who not contented Vk i t 11 working their way up to heaven, like
Hercules, Pollux, and 'other ancient worthies, by useful la-
bours and godlike exploits, attempted to take by storm the
seat of Jove himself; and we also learn that, to reward their
pains, they were stowed, no doubt as a perpetual examine,
otnier the very mouutains -(somewhat larger than the Derby-
shire hills), by means of which they had carried•uu the in-
vasion.

" Last year, when distress and want of employment had
more than usually laid the poorer classes open to delusion,
the matter was much too serious for the Police of Parnassus.
Parliament and the Laws were alone capable of repressing a
mischief at once dangerous and audacious. It is far frait
lihely that such a crisis way recur; hut in the mean time, Elie
lighter castigatiatis of the Muse may not be misplaced. She
does not aim so high as the vindication of time State, winch,
like the sacred chariot in Milton, is " Itself iiestinct with
spirit hut.she may, perhaps, have fotimi employment not
unsuited to her character and office, in joing justice to those
whose eminent abilities and successfui exertions, in behalf of
good Government and the Constitution, have particularly ex-
posed them to the wrath of such assailants as the Heroes of
Palace. yard, or Spa-Gelds.

" I have endeavoured, in the following Stanzas, to express
the feeliugs excited in my own breast, by reading ass account
of the last proceedings of those meek Apostles; but in so do-
ing Imo not wit bout a hope that I have also expre.sed,t hough
in very inadequate language, the feelings yf every good and
sober in the country—whether Whig or Tory.
" I thcmght, at one time, of quoting here, by way of justi-
ficatioo, if any were needed, of what follows, the particularly
offensive passages of the last Palace-yard Speeches; but on
turning In them for that purpose, I felt so decided a repug-
nance to defiling my pages with such detestable stuff, that I
abandoned the intention. Few habitual readers of the daily
prints are-likely to have overlooked them;. and any one, de-
sirous of refreshing his memory, has only to refer to any
of the London Newspapers published on the 24th of March."

" But, chief, on thee* ►—oh ! p► ice desert must pay !
‘‘'lnise name, the Muse, with clust'ring bhissums wreath'd,
Not idly calls to grace her warning lay,
The mildew blasts of calumny are hreatli'd.

Oh ! blest with firmness, that utimoe'd can hear
The Nlob's mud shwa, or Faction's boding dirge
Anil rancour as from weaknelis clear,—
To strip foul Treas,oti, and her tools to scourge

Though pow'rs, like thine, to noble uses traitt'di
A gifted Muse, for early tlighttrrenown'd;
Wit, ever young, by sober judgment rein'tt ;
And fire, in generous bosoms only found;—

Though eloquence, by classic taste refin'd,.

• " But, chief, on thee," &c: The Right lion. George
Canning.—The name Hof Mr. Canning was prefixed to this
Poem, in the first instance, exclusively because he was the
person most vehemently and scurrilously attached on the oc-
casion which gave birth to it.' But the Muse is also glad to
embrace Cie opportunity that presented. ssf offerine: her tri-
bute of adtuiratiwn to a Statesman, whose eminent talents and
