Ty/taik stelea, with treacle aim,
WouNlat Otto& the dauntless heart of Fame,

We muck thy death-dennuncing boast,
ranee every Briton proves a host,
And spurns the threaten'd stroke I
No menial hope our ardour fires—
We burn with no unjust desires,
We raise no ruthless hand;
But, warm with patriotic zeal,
With fervor guard the public weal,

Which dignifies the land !
1 ill repay the Muse's smile,
(So prone my sadness to beguile},
To choose so mean a strain ;
But should, by chance, her humble art,
Root out the tiger front thy hear,
She will not sing in vain!
Futile the wish! but, Tyrant know,
' Whilst cowards dread thy threaten'd blow,
Our hearts undaunted beat;
Britannia's Sons a valour feel,
That bids them spurn the sharpest steel,
" We'll peribi or di.:at I"

HASTINGS, SEPTEMBER 7.

This beautiful summer retreat bids fair soon to
rival Brighton, and the hitherto more noted places
of fashionable resort.

The situation, both in point of scenery and mild-
ness of the air, certainly exceeds any place of the
kind on the southern coast ; and what is of great
consequence to the invalid, the bathing, which is ex-
cellent, can be accomplished at any time of the tide,
without the slightest risk or inconvenience.
The rides towards Winchelsea, Battle, and Bexhill

are indescribable, especially that on Fairleigh Downs,
near die Signal Post, where you at once command a
♦iew over several hundred miles, comprehending the
Srires of 42 Parish Churches, innumerable ruins of
Castles and Cathedrals, the remains of Saxon magni-
ficence, and bounded on the south by the newly
erected Tower Napoleon, at Boulogne.
Our correspondent, who has visited most watering
places, further observes, that there appears to be
something in the air of Sussex peculiarly favourable
to the ladies. He says, it might be going too far to
say they are all handsome, but from the time he en-
tered Sussex at Trant, till he quitted it at New Chapel
Green, he never once saw a plain one.

DUELLlNG.—Saturday morning, early, a meeting
took place on Blackheath, between a Mr. H. of Air-
street, and a Mr. S. of Marchmont-street. The first
shots were given without effect, and, on the second
ire, Mr. H. received a ball in the wrist of the pistol
arm. A surgeon being in attendance, the wound
was dressed, and is in a fair way of doing well.

The most successful shots in Suffolk, on the Ist of
September, were Sir Thomas Gooch, and the Hon.
Charles Bagot ; the former killing 27, and the other
S 3, brace of birds. Mr. Bigot missed only one shot
iu the course of the day.
Lord MIDDLETON commenced the hunting season
on Wednesday and Thursday last, at Meriden, in
Warwickshire, with a superior stud of horses and fox.
hounds. A brace of foxes v.ere killed each day, with
most excellent running. His Lordship has taken a
house at Leamington Spa, where he proposes making
bis residence during the hunting season.

Lady Lavie and family, having received permis-
sion of the French Government, will, in a day or
two, set out for Verdun, to reside with Sir Thomas.
A cartel is ordered to be in readiness for her Lady-
ship's reception.
The Alien Office has stoppid the giving of licences
to foreigners to go to Gravesend. It is said that this
regulation is to prevent a certain description of per-
sons in this country from communicating with vessels
going to Holland and France.
The Southampton coachman was shot at on Tues-
day night last, between Bagshot and Frimley Grove,
but fortunately the ball passed near his head, without
doing him the least injury.

The town of Leicester was thrown into the utmost
confusion, a few days ago, by the propagation of a
report, by some persons of a most malignant (lisp°.
aition, that several transports, having on board the
Leicester Militia, had been wrecked, and the whole
of the men drowned. The inhuman hoax was hap.
pity soon exposed by the arrival of the public papers,
wh)cli stated that the regiment were sate in quarters
at Dublin.
