Pride and boast of patriat fame !

In every clime, co ever/ land,
That rounds this fateful world,

See Britain's flag unturrd ;
Ever-proudly deom'd to wave
Immortal ensign of the free and brave!

AIR.
On victor wing, from Quebec's plain,
A Wets s to iiiaven ascended—
A NILSON, Gsosot's oceaursign,
In glorious death defended ;
And on Corunna's fatal share,
Unequal numbers braving,
With honour fell the gallant Mooar,
In death, an army savant.
Cuosus—With honour fell, &c. &c.

But chief, that glee-lons and that dreadful day,
When fate, suspended in confus'd affright,
Knew not which mighty power to obey,
_ _

Or yield to England Orin France the fight !
E'en in that hour, when ABEACROMBIA fell,
Aid weeping triumph rang the Hero's knell,
And Gallia's reeking standard sunk in shame ;
Egypt's great warfare but bepn,
It's last best glories all his own,
Our Hurcninsew led on, and filrd the void of Fame!
QueU'd the apostate MeNOU'S
While the fue's rout,
And victor's shout,
From Nile's sevenfold stream,
To Albion's shore proclaim,
Not vainly Britons fought, nor Malicious's died,
Then bright thy star, Hibernia, shone,
The pride and strength of Britain's Throne.

Of Gallia's tyrant Chief abhorr'd:

The fall of snow in the neighbourhood of Ban•
bridge, on Thursday, surpassed any remembered by
the.oldest person there ; the turnpike road near
Dromore was completely filled up between the
hedges. The coaches for Dublin and Belfast, with
the aid of the passengers, made good their journies,
till they got about hall way between Dromore and
Banbridge, where both found it impracticable to pro-
ceed farther. The mail coach from Dublin, being in
company with the Newry fly, assisted by the passen-
gers (14 in number) gut those coaches drawn into,
Banbridge ; but the coach from Belfast arriving at
the'same plaee,,some time after, was left in the snow,
where it remained till Sunday, when it was remora;
by the exertinns of some Banbridge gentlemen, Who
I took much trouble in collecting nearly 200 men to cut
open this part of the road.
One of the Martello Towers on the coast of Esse:,
dear St. Osyth, has given way. Its first inclinatiog
was several feet one way : in order to restore it to itS
situation, the ground was excavated on the other side,
and it has now gone back with an inclination in nearly
the same proportion the other way. What is very sin-
gular, though the fabric must have sustained a great
degree of percussion, no crack or fissure appears in
the brick-work.
A monster in human shape has recently been very
active in the neighbourhood of Hampstead, in malt-4
ing unmanly and indecent attacks on unprotected fo.l
males. He met a lady of respectability, a Mrs. B—,
on Friday last, on the road leading from Highgate
to Hampstead, and after treating her in the most in-
human manner left her in a lifeless state near to Lord
Mansfield's park-gate. She was shortly afterwards
discovered by a gentleman accidentally passing, who
conveyed her to her residence.
A very atrocious attack was lately made upon the
centinel pasted at General Floyd's door, in Cork, about
two o'clock in the morning. A man wrapped up in a
great coat passed the centinel at that hour, and hay-
ing given the customary reply to the sentinel's chal-
lenge, and passed on a few paces, 'turned suddenly
about, and discharged a pistol at him, which unfortu-
nately wounded him severely in the foot, a little be-
-1 low the ancle. The centinel immediately fell, and
the assasin fled. Whilst down, however, the soldier
loaded his piece, and fired it in the direction which
the villain had taken, but unluckily without effect.—
As-soon as this daring outrage was communicated to
the Sheriffs, a pursuit was commenced with the most
laudablepromptitudeafter the offender, but he escaped.
A man of the name of John Oughtcn, formerly a
rsident at Kenilworth, but who has for about the last
15 or 16 years beets employed in a brewery at Co.
ventry„ was examined on Tuesday, before C. G:,
Wade, Esq. and committed to the county gaol for
re-examination, charged, upon his owu confession, on
violent suspicion of having wilfully murdered, at
Keailworth, one Richard Whitton, (4 young man of
irreproachable character, and of respectable connec-
tions) on the 20th of October, 1790. Charles Lee,
late a resident of Kenilworth, and who, our Readers
will recollect, was sentenced to fourteen years trans-
portation at the last Assizesior that county, forhaving
Imged Bank of England bills, first made a disclosure
of this lamentable, and hitherto inysterieus transac-
tion. We understand he has beeit detained frost
waili4g with the other convicts from Portsmouth, F
' oaanuication.
