TO MARY.

Oh Marr, oh Mate, too lov'd, too unkind!
Tho Met from my bruit has been bauilled by you,
Still, Rill I adore : no relict' I can fintl ;
The image of MART is ever in vices.
I mix ill the throng.ln the hope to alTuage
I~4e ardent affedion eiiiindid by you :
But their wit and their mirth no atteution engage;
The image of MART is Mr in view.
The bailie of life, the (miles of the grett,
The end= Oland of friendfltip are cold without you :
Tho' I'm exii'd your preieoce, cc,:denin'd to your hate,
The image of MARY is ever iu view.
In the dull hour of night, when others repofe,
Kind Sleep is citrang'd from my pillow by you ;
In vain I endeavour myfclf to compofe ;
The image of MART it ever in view.
At eve and at mom, I feel my hard fate ;
My ugh' and my plair.ts I Rill fondly renew :
But nothing can foften the pang of regret;
The image of MART is ever in view.
Ytt hufh. my fond heart ! your fluttering Ray;
No tiorom refpontive will iluttcr for you;
Without hope, my lone hours ere to furrow a prey ;
The image of MART is ever in view.
Oh MART, oh MART, too limed, too unkind!
While fympathy never awakens in you,
My thoughts I devote to your perfot: and mind :
The image of MARI. Is ever iu view.

We have been told that there is a word in the
Hungarian Language with thirty meanings. This is
nothing to the Arabic Language, which hasfive hun-
dred mimes for a Lion, two hundred for a ferpent, more
than risky for honey, and above a thowfand for a

Yerterday a Court of Diredors was held at the
Ealt-India Houfe, when a number of tenders of (hips
were opened, and referred to the Committee in that
department. Captain W. W. FARM was fworn
into the command of the Cumberland ; as was Captain
MIRITON into the Exeter, for China dired. The
Court adjourned at fix o'clock, till tomorrow.
By letters from Babire, received via Madras, prr
Tigris, we are informed that Mr. MANESTY, the Eaft-
India Company's relident, left that place on a mif-
fion to the Court of Tehran, in a Itile nf elegance
which cannot be equalled by any of the Pet ft in nobi-
lity, and hardly furpalled by the King hirnfelf.
One may form Tome idea of the fplendid manner
in which Mr. Maws:me travels, when we add, that
his retinue confifts of upwards of too honks, 3co bag-
gage mules, and 6o camels, with a multitude of ler-
varas and camp followers, which makes the whole
appear like a little army in motion. The procelEon
moves in the following order :—ln the van an ele•
phant ; feveral men on horfeback, who adminilier a
conflant fupply of coffee and hookahs (pipes for
fmoking) during the march ; Come troopers, two of
them carrying uni in jacks; nine led honks, elegantly
caparifoned in the Perlian fathion ; 12 running foot-
men; two gold hit ks and two (liver-dicks, mounted ;
Mr. Ma NESTY ; the gentlemen of his fuit, a led horfe
before each ; 4o Gholams, or Perfian guards, drefled
in orange-coloured clothes, and armed with fhields,
fwords, and carabines, with the Sepoy guards. The
whole made a molt fplendid fpedacle, and attraded
no:. only the attention but the admiration of all the
inhabitants of the villages and towns they palled thro'
on their way to Shiraz, where the Prince was ex-
peaed to meet them, previous to their introduaion
to the Court of Tehran.

of the fort, and, after battering for fome time, the
place was flormed with the lots of about so killed and
wounded on our part. The (hips fuffered a little in
their malts and rigging; 83 pieces of cannon were
found in the fort. The terms granted to the enemy
were the fame offered to them previous to the (term,

plundered at Mirchie fosse time finee, and to rein•
bark us the expellee of the expedition fitted out
