Stranger! this spot, all lovely though It seem,
As landscape of the blest, or pact's dream.
Iles seen Wat's visage frOwn. Iseardlis rough vette
Omer to the charge, and 'midst the slain rejoice;
And where this sapling, from the sacred sluire,
Strikes firm its root and bids its branches soar,
A Monarch fell, even when his valiant hand
Was rsis'd to chac invaders from. the land.
Thou died'st not, Auir.i, as soldiers wish to die,
Di battle-rout, and o,atlid by Vistory's cry;
'Vet prowl revenge thy hanour'dalude has known,
For she who sharld the glories of thy throne;
'Wb...n thy brave warriors stood with woe ogoprest—
' Clamed woman's terrors from her widow'd breut,
Made oat rot toshrs the Scottish Lien roar,
\tint southrontuatrona might ant loss deplore
rrl'Ated still the noblest, who no court would PT
Ta power-cloth'd minions el the passing d*
here bring their tribute, that mankinii mil *le
Thy ineinoty claims the booms* of the free !

pearance. The Turnips lasted beyond espectation, and so peat
a proportion of stock remained abroad throughout the Wiper,

quantity of fodder. The pastures will be open for stock collo

eIIILVERN HUN omsms.--The acceptance of the of-
fice of Stewardship of this place (without honour or
profit) vacates a seat in Parliament; but the notion
that it is attended with profit is quite erroneous.
Childers is a ridge of chalky hills, which crosses the
counfy of Bucks, a little south of the centre, reach-
big from Wag, in Hertfordshire, to Henley, inthe
• county if Oxford. This district belongs to the Crown,
and for time jmmemorial has given title to the nomi-
nal office of &eward of the Chiltern Hundreds. Of
this office, as well as the Manor of East Hundred, in
Berks, it is remarkable, that although frequently
conferred upon Members of Parliament, it is not
productive either of honour or emolument; being
granted at the request of any Member of that House,
merely to oadele him to vacate his seat by the ac-
ceptance of a nominal office under the Crown ; and
on this account it has frequently been granted to,
thtce or roar different Members in a week.
The Frenclacompared with the English, are young
in legislativo practrce. In the French Government
projects our bah,, the numerals are all filled up, as in
the amount of pe-alties, terms of imprisonment, &c.
whence it results that the Ministers are often invoked
in very unnecessary trials of their strength, and left
- in minorkies, when they might, by a more guarded
course, have had the credit of concurring with the
majority. Is England they order matters better—
every thing numerical in a bill is left blank ; the num-
ber tote OM in is Isk for discussion in the Commit..
tee, and thereit is rarely made a party question, but
one As whieletbe mkt 'object is to collect the prevail-
ing opision.. Mbn the most agreed on a general prin-
ciple, may Callikteldt esteugh have very difierent
. ideas as to thedetallsotits application.
