LOVE AND REASON.

Lova laid to R SAIIOII, know wy pima,
" Nor vaunt tby pedant rules;
" lon the heeded natures four,
" And make the wife(!, fort.
" Itddphilofophy rubraft,
4/ make the dulled py ;
To Ideots lend a gleam of wit,
" And darken wildom's ray.

" I can teach proud and freezing [corn,
" To feel sey potent hill ;
• The fternelt face with (miles adorn,
r The cold with rapture fill."

■ "Cis true," isalsnant REA /ON told,
Too muck of power's thy own ;
• Yet 'di where / refufe ay aid,
" And only, tbcti art known.
• Bet Time, that blunts thy boyiat dot,
• Bids RIA SON'S Altar burn;
• And as be calms the to rerifh bcart,
• /triumph In soy tutu."

TIMOTHY qyAINT.

Yelkerday morning, about t i o'clock, theWeßmin-
flee Cavalry, the London Cavalry, and City Light
Horfe, were brigaded oh Finchley Common, under
the command of General Lu st Lev.- They muttered
four fquadrons. betides a company of difmounted.
belonging to the London Cavalry, and the Flying
Artillery belonging to the City Light Horfe. Owing
to the unfavourable Rate of the ground, occaffoned
by the heavy rain, numbers of them were thrown
from their !thrice; one of them when thrown, thick
fd fait in a bog, that he could not get out without
alSaance, and feveral fell into the ditches, but we
did not hear of any ferious accident. •
The Royal York Mary-la-bonne Volunteers, tom
mended by Lord DU/MAMMON, and the two bane-
lions of the Qncen's Royals, the &It commanded by
Colonel Roars:on, the fecond commanded by Colo-
nel Vorresow, were brigaded together yetterday even-

tattoo of the Queen's, and the Royal York Volun-
were near Ty an hour on the ground before the
arrival of the fecond of the Queen s ; Major General
the Earl of Basso ay, Colonel Poeta:ow, and their
Aids de-Camp, &c. were alfu lonic time waiting. The
evening was remarkably fine ; they made a fine thew,
and palled twice in review, after which they went
through all their evolutions; they fired feveral vol-
UV., and all with much credit to themfelves, and
*Joliet+ to the Officers.
Saturday the different Corps of Militia and Vo-
lunteers in Edinburgh and neighbourhood, marched
to Porto Bello Sands, to fire in honour of the Birth-
day of his Royal Highnefs the Prince of Waits.
The troops arrived on the lands before twelve
o'clock, when the line was immediately formed.
The right, compofed of part of the Royal Artillery
with their cannon, were Rationed on the road to the
eaftward.of the lands. Tice sth Dragoon Gdards
were drawn up on the fea-thore,and the different
regiments of infantry occupied the whole lands from
ppp.: to the Black Suns. • 'l'o the weliward of the
snfantry were two troops of the Edinburgh Light Dra-
goons, and the different Corps of Volunteer Artillery
were polled hill farther to the weltward on a riling
• ground between the poll road and the fends. The
of
cannon,
Militia and Sea Fencbles, with fix piece:
of cannon, were in a field a little to the caltward of
Porto Bello Tower, and two pieces of cannon were
placed on the pier head.
At a quarter pall twelve a falute of 19 guns an-
nounced the arrival of his Excellency the Commander
in Chief, who, with his fuite, went to the right. and
then rode along the whole fine, being fainted by each
corps as he palled. He then took his Ration a little
to the call of the harbour, when upon fignal being
given three volleys were fired in honour of the day,
by battalions, from the right to the left, and every-
corps gave three cheers. 1 he corps on the right then
faced to the left, and matched towards the harbour
and formed in dole column, while thofe on the left
(tome croffing the (mall rivulet, while others came
