11IR LASS THAT LOVES A SAILOTI, *

A SONG,

Wfitten and Composed by Mr: DlRDtri.

'The Moon on the Ocean was dimm'd by a ripple,
A (fording a chequer'd delight;
The gay jolly Tars pass'd the word for the tipple*
' And the toast—for 'twasSaturday night;
Some sweetheart or wife,
. hav'd as his lite,
Each drank and wisled he could hail her ;
But the standing toast,
That pleas-'d the most,
• Was the wind that blows,
The ship that goes,
And the Lass that loves a sailth„

Some drank the King, some his brave ships,
And some the Constitution,
Some tray the French, and all sit& rips,
Yield to English resolution ;.
That fate might bless
Some Poll or Vesi,
And that they soon might halt her;
But the standing toast,

BOON APARTE with an iminensdy long sword, which

extended over. tile. Continent:mat:TlT a bloW at
Jo.Ur4 Butt.: in giving this strike he had mowed
chiwin several of his sobjeds,.and three Frenchmen
were represented writhing in the agonieS'of deAth,
while the point of the weapon just reached tharibs
of JOHN BULL, who was made to eiclaiM,
Diable, he has scratched me," From the same
sou ce, we are also informed, that in a conversation
with some of the M►litary ()dicers at Boulogile, on
the subject he `rower erected there, it was ob.
s(lved, .that the. Emperor had chosen the wrong
materi,ls—he sViuld not have used stones,' and
fixed thein with mortar, but if he Meant to cele-
