One day in company a shining Belie,
To shew how tar she could in wit excel,
Thus to a Gentleman was heard to say :
" If 1 mistae not, Sir, the other day
.4 Your bait was red, and now 'tis chang'd to black,
" And does itsjloming colour wholly lack ?
" But I suppose," (then archly around) '
" If we inspect it; dy'd it will he found." •
" True," said the Gent, " and when I saw you last, •
" Your hail., methoUght, was of a greyish cast;
" Besides, 'tw'as lank and thin, and currd not then,
And now, but for your tongue, I scarce could ken
" In-you, the self-same Lady, wiose'grey hair
" Of late had nearly driven you to despair;
" But Atkinson's. fam'd 'Fluid and his Dye
" Have work'd strange wonders both in you anasl.''
The Gent in-trinmOi laugh'd; thel,ady, wounded,
•Hung down her head abasti'd, as one confounded. ,
The above lines are founded on fact; and the original map
be se--n, and reference given to the writer, by applying at the
Proprietor's, 43, Gerrard-street, Soho-square, Loudon ; and
sold-by most Perfumers in ToWn'and Country.

THE.LATE REV. JOHN WESLEY.---It may not
be amiss at the present time to call the attention
of those whom it may Concern, to the following
extrAt- from a publication of this venerable and
truly pious divine, on the subject of " Separation
ocn the Church," dated " April I 790,"*n0t quite
twelve tminths.ptior to his death:—
" I never had any design of separating from the church.
I have no such design now. I. do not believe the Methodists
in general design it, when lam no more seen,. I do, and will
do, all that is in my power to prevent such an event ; never-
theless, in spite of alt that I -can do, many of them" will se-
parate from it ; (although, am apt to. think, not one-I;7lif,
perhaps not a third of them.) These will be so bold and in-
judicious as to form a separate party, which consequently. will
dwindle away into a. dry, dull, separate party. In Hat oppo.
sition to these, I declare; once more, that I Jive and die a
member of the Church .of, England ; and that none who re--
gard,my judgment or advice will ever separate from it.
(Signed) JOHN WESLEY."
By the above extract it appears, that Air. Vas
LEY was the unintentional founder of a nurneroui
ect, which" is fully proved by those his alulost
lug words.

FOR. THE SUN.

ED-ITOl{,-1 wil; confess to you, thit,ivith-

nut any very -elevated prepos%essions in favour of
the lioetality of our ultra liberal Opposition,
without any very exalted notion of the delicacy
or 'olheitince of their Official Oracle, I was„as
'much surprised an -di7;g,trsted Cwhi.ch is saying a
.great deal), On rtadini:, in the !Horning Chronicle,
'.t3 first record of the ctrocious aild diabolical
attempt Upon the Lire of the Duke of Wellington,
the folloWing paragraph r.-
4‘ 'rhe primate Letters from Pa'ris'spealt of -rnt
AliFArR•Ot the shot SAID to be fired At -the nuke
of IVELLitsio'rot4 as a DE'Vt6B on the part of
Ilros'e whop wish 'tor a pretext to keep the Allied
Armies in France. Sortie say it was the Report of
a detonating ball. Will there be a Green Bag and
a Secret Committee ! ! !"

Now, Sir, is there a. truly British heart that
naturally revolts from the alien crime of assassina-
tion, which must not turn with horror and dis-
gust from this base attempt of a Faction, in the
very moment of anattempted midnight assassination
being made known to the Public, to throw an air
of ridicule upon the AFFAIR, and tO shelter the
Assassin, by throwing round his crime an air of
doubt and ridicule! Is the guilt incurred by our
great Captain, in tearing the bloody laurels from
the brow of BUONAPARTE, inexpiable in the eyes
of the Party ? Can the crime of having' falsified
every prediction of the infallibility of their Corsi-
can Idol be washed away by nothing short or the
bloOd of his Conqueror ? Must the Coorpteror
find Pacificator be immolated to gratify the disap-
pointed ambition of those who look only to disaster
and national disgrace, as the means of sating and
gratifying it ? Or, is the glory and exaltas ion of
the man, whom the " busy mockers' and ballad-

mongers of the Party laboured to laud► down, as
" the gallant Baron of Douro," so insupportable
tl3 to require the proffer of a premium to any des-
perate wretch who may remove him from their
view ?

Good God, Sir, are we so deeply inoculated
.With the French p 1 ilosophisin ; are we so strong-
ly tainted with the principles of Yircobinism
(which comprehensive term embraces the over-

throw of the whole pure Christ inn scheme, of
dory to Gad on high—and peace and good-will
towards man), as to sit 'down tamely under an
insult thus offered to the feelings of the Nation,
and to the dignity of our nature ? No, let souse
public vehicle be formed to convey to the people
of Europe our Protest against the principles of a
Faction which, in despair of obtaining its object,
attempts to give power and influence to the mis-
sionaries of Blasphemy and Sedition—and holds
out encouragement to assassination, by making
every unsuccessful attempt an object of ridicule or
doubt !

You trill perceive, Sir,. that there is no injus-
tice in this charge, because it is not made upon a
single or solitary instance. The-system is proved,
by a repetition of the same mantruvres, which
were previously successful, in encouraging a ge-
.rieral opinion among the ignorant classes of the
community, that the attempted Assassination of
tie PRINCE., REGENT was a fabrication of Minis-
ters—not only by throwing an air of doubt upon
evidence which was unquestionable, but by an
artifice to disprove facts which were open to the
investigation of •every man in the kingdom.
Thus, until some fatal catastrophe occur—until
some noble victim is offered up to the malevolent
srmbition of an unprincipled Faction, an air of
doubt is to be thrown over the schemes and plots
of traitors and assassins, in order to cherish and
ripen them into action !—The PRINCE REGENT had
incurred the high displeasure of these men by re-
jecting them from his Councils—and when we
trace the effects of disappointment upon the am-
bitious and malignant passions'of our nature,
when released front the obligations of m✓ral and re-
ligious restraint, we may account, though we blush,
for the motives of their base policy;—but in the
case before us we can trace none but the viciously
refined motive, arising from the disappointment
and frustration of their hopes in the do7unfall and
zubjugation of the Country, from which the valour
and energy of our great and magnanimous Gene-
ral essentially contributed to rescue it. Thus
has he fallcn'ender their inveterate and unceasing
barred ! And surely it Britons have eyes to see,
and intellect to comprehend, they cannot he nil's-
taken—or be further deluded ty to the objects and
wishes of that portion at least of the faction
which unblushingly identifies itself with the dregs
of democracy and with " acquitted felons !" Can
the constant defenders of such men as DESPARD
and O'CoNNott, can the. contributors to the sup-
port and elevation of HoN a, who is unknown to
the Public, but as the author and distributor of
blasphemous libels, %rho are the ransackers of.
Prisons a►nd Bride ells, for specitrecs of irno-

'sense, purity, anti pitiriolisai tie Disciples
And High PrieSis' of ARBITRARY Povi'Ea—ihe
xtra-nfficiat iiii•ert of the banished Usurper
Of a People's riightS, and the Tyrant of Enrope ;
can, 1 say. 'such men, Who, professing the same
Creed, ahjiire Os heretical all tile high principles
of our great forefathers, and not may impugn the
Motives of ALL who adhere to the support of the
Constitution—but direct thiair bitterest anathemas
against every man, Who, by the wisdom of his Coun-
cils, or the magiinintity of his cduiluct, has con-
tributed to uphold his Country during the peri-
lous crisis it has had to soStaii, ;—can such men
he trusted because they eail theasclues PATRIOTS ?
It tlieFe are individuals (and such I am grieved to
'Say there are) to be found in the ranks of this un-
principled Faction, who May shrink from the im-
putations thus charged home Upon them, let them
cothe out from among. them ; let then, reflect that
until they &hew themselves ashathed of their eon-
federateS, they are tainted ‘Vith their infamy—
and go forth to the Country identified with it'.
If ever there 'teas a crisis in the History of this
Country Wthtu honest men were called upon to
declare themselves, and to unite in the face of the
People, we are kow arrived at it. If we wait
'till the INFERNAL MACHINE burst, it will be lea
late to save the Empire.
