110 On OF LORDS.

When Empires prefs'd. and finking with the weight
Of Wars and Fadtions, touch the verge of Fate,
hat Should he be in that portentous hour,
(While all around him tempefts darkly lowr,)
Who plac'd, foul-trying Ration! at the helm.
Shall gaide to fafety, and to peace the realm
No common genius mull inform his mind
To whom the talk, the mighty talc's affign'd.
Such mould he be, as few have yet been fern,
Though Safe, fall watchful, though in forms, ferene ;
Not rally proud, nit groveling in the daft;
Though kind, though generous, yet, feverely juft ;
Who knows, who venerates his Country's laws,
Who dares with fearlefs heart offal her eaufe ;
Who, Ready Patriot, fees but her alone,
And to her intereft gladly yields his own !
Lives there the man in whom filch virtuefiiw
Such varied powers in union who combines
Yes, MOIRA lives, MOIRA by Nature blcft
With all that warms and dignifies the breaft
In him unite to work his Country's weal,
A head to counfel, and a Geer: to ferl—
A heart by virtue forto'd, where happy blend
The Subjrdts Guardian, and the Monach's Friend ;
And his an arm that oft in mortal fight,
On Britain's foes has prov'd its dauntlefs might
To him all eyes with fond expedance turn;
To him all brealts with pious friendfbip burn;
Soon may the Nation's hope, the Nation's pride,
Card by her voice, Britannia's Counfels Guide !

DIXON Dia, Bart. by the Rev. Maamanu e
LEWIS, AtiXANDIt MACLEOD, of Muimvonfitie,
Efq. late of Jamaica, to Mils DALMAHOY, filler of

THEATRE ROYAL, Ditußy-Law a.--TheTrstgedy
of Julian and Atari was performed for the fecond
time laft night. No piece perhaps was ever fo much
altered and improved in the fame period of time.
From the firft it contained excellent materials. Now
they are arranged fo that the intereft is increafed
as the piece advances, and the fufpenfe of the au-
dience is kept awake till the dropping of the cur-
tain. The piece was extremely well received.
A Court of Common Council met yefterday to
thank our gallant Officers and Seamen for their
viCtory off Copenhage,n. Previous to this taking
place, Mr. WAII %lAN defired that the proceed.
ings of the Court might be read on the King's re-
covery from his former illnefs, when it appeared
that he had been addreffed immediately on his re-
covery. He therefore, before any other bufinefs
took place, moved tint a loyal Addrefs be prefent-
ed to his MAJESTY, on his late happy recovery,
alluring his Majefty of their affeetionate regard to
his perfon and family, arc.
I his motion was oppofed by Mr. Deputy BIRCH,
who laid, the Houfes of Lords and Commons had
not yet addreffed the King, and it would not be
decent or proper for them to do it.
Mr. COWLEY Paid that the Court was an inde-
pendent body, and therefore it was not to wait for
the Houk of Lords or Commons, to do any thing •
they thought right and proper to be done. Our
Churches were every day thanking the ALMIGHTY
for the King's recovery, and' his Majefty was now
I performing all the funEtions of a King, and there-
fore he faw no objeCtion to the intended Addrefs.
But if he heard any thing in the debate that might
lead him to think that his Majefty was not fuffi-
ciently recovered to receive them on the Throne
with convenience to himfelf, he fhould in that cafe
be for deferring the Addrefs.
Sir Warxre Lewes infifted that it would be
highly improper for that Court to addrcfs his Ma-
jefty on his recovery, until the Lords and Com-
mons had done it.
Mr. GOODE/MERE (Aid, that if the motion had
come from the Miniderial fide of the Court, no
objeition would have been made to it ; but as this !
Addrefs had not bctn cooked by the Deputy, it I
was not palatahl.:.
The previousqueftion was, after the tshole day's
debate, put and carried ; fo that the Addrefs was
loft by a large majority.
Sir WATRIN LEWIS'S motion to thank the Offi-
cers and Seamen for their gallantry, was obliged
to be deferred till the next Court.
A Duel was yellerday morning to have been '
fought in Hyde Park, between Mr. F— M—v,
of Parliament-greet, and Mr. D—e, of Chirles-
ftreet, St. Janses'sdkiare. The parties, attended
by their feconds, named on the ground about fix
o'clock, with each a cafe of pitbs,and were pro.
ceeding to the untal preliminaries, when they were
interrupted by the appearance of feveral of the •
Bow-(beet Officers, who put them under an arra,
information having been privately communicated
to Mr. Foals, the preceding night. The panics
were afterwards brought to Bow:ftreet, and obliged
to give bail for keeping the peace.
