and, liedihe, as he did not understand Italian, it wield be laser ti

wadi apply to my friend Peter Pinder. She approved of my Weir
sad 'spouted me to invite this celebrated poet to peas some Jays at
Merton, together with Viganoni and C. Itoredino, performs as the
Italian Opera We all met there, and Peter Medal wrote tits fakir/iv
rues, which I set to music :

Pleased would I strike the lyre to love,
But vain the wish, the labour vain ;
For lo ! the chords rebellious prove,
And pour to war alone the strain.
Change as I will the rebel string•,
The harp of martial glory sings !
Yet who, alas! can blame the lyre,
That pours a sound to Britons dear
The song shall future heroes fire,
And bid them kindle as they hear ;
Through dangers seek the wreath of fame,
And bleed to gain a Nelson's name.—Harinenieon.

Szcomp SIOFIT.—We extract from the India Gantt, ,
published at Calcutta oa the 3d of March last, the following very
curious IMUligraph Reports are in tows ofa very important natut.,
bat we have not been able to trace them to say certain authority. It I-
I said that the Xing of England is dead, and !kat a revolution he'
taken plow in Prance. We shall look with anxiety for further par-
ticulaaa.* The fatal illness of his kW Majesty was not publicly ar..
nouneed in London until the lith of April ; and when the mail, which.
arrived in India on the 3d of Manske, hit England, it was not eVt I
whimpered that his health was anted. The news of the Revolution 1:,
Fame cannot reach Calcutta for two or three moat's' to come. W,
nu easily imagine the surprise of the Calcutta editor to find the rnmcur,
sthimis reached him so long ago, so surprisingly confirmed in both pa-
dashes. Campbell speaks of coming events casting their shadows b,
fans them, but a shadow of four or five months is an extraordinary on—
to be sure it had to travel from Paris to Bengal What will Sir Walter
Scott say to the Calcutta rumour ? IVill he lapse into his old belief ?
