NEW COSSACK SONG.

—..w...
TO BE SET TO MUSIC IN CONSTANTINOPLL
Dinah I to Smismoues towers advance—
The route is free, and Europe sleeps;
The Guardians that should watch for France
Dose on their post. and Freedom weeps.

The Austrian seems co slumber too,
Albeit through half-,but eye he peeps;
While English fleets with sluggish crew
Float passively on Mumora's deeps.
Spur—spar the steed then,—couch the lance,
Luck, now awhile, will bear us through;
Our blest Allies in stupid trance,
Look on and wot not what to do.

Our Drama gathers to a close,
A fire-work fete wiU crown the scene ;
And while the bright Seraglio glows—
Sliout—WaLuxorox sod Assassin !

Yes! ASSIDBILN and WELLINGTON—
In bean and mind true Cossacks botb,—
Such Statemen sun near shoo* upon,
Except all times their master Gorx.

Ricnacusu to the first was wrak,
Pin Cintra's hero far exceeds ;
And tho' he =not write or speak,
He yet can act—judge by his deeds.
He yields all—Russia long required,
Of British Ministers in vain:
'Tis 'Death his sway the PORTZ is fired.
And we is tutu shall rule the main.

Yea!—Joux Batt now must change his key.
And understrap to other States ;
We'll kick him from the Baltic Sea,
And sweep him headlong from the Straits.
Our eagle, too, shall dart his claw
Oa India's shore, without delay,
While Joan may trade to Canada,—
Iceland and blest Botany Bay.
But never, never, shall be be,
What be was once in former day ;
He gives us now a chance—and we
Shall brush him like a dream away.

Ho! comrades, forward to Stamboul
Ere Europe's Powers from sleep withdraw :
The Muscovite is not a fool ;
Live Wm.:Alums !—hutrah—hurrah!

THE LONELY VIDETTE.
Hemm'd by foes, while no star howe'er faintly I ween
breaks night's blackest gloom low'ring over the seem,
Where in perils watch in this woody ravine
lam posted—s lonely eldette ;
Dread fancy I Ay, fain to muse no the years
When trumpets and drums were unknown to my ears.
Sweet times! these fatigues of a camp more endears
To my bosom lung singed by regret,—
Which in spite of the soldier, call down pensive tears,
On the cheeks of the lonely eldest..
It was then to the hardships of camps yet a stranger.
I knew a blest peace I can never forget—
Kind friends and a home far from tumult and danger,
How much envied now by the lonely eidetic !
Who goes there?—it was only the sigh
Of midnight's wild breeze flitting by,—
Oh ! thus wrapt in darkness—by danger beset—
Ye thoughts that impart
Feelings soft to the heart,
Fly, fly, the firm mind of the lonely vidette.

The Superb steamer, from Ostend, with the Empress
of BRAZIL, arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, in safety.

Colonel Yonge was the Officer who wrested the sword
out of the hand of Tippoo Saib, at the fall of Seringapa-
tam. That sword is now in the possession of the Colonel's
nephew, G. A. Yonge, Esq. Harpur-street, Bloomsbury.
Accounts from the Lower Elbe of the 16th August says,
that the last news from St. Petersburgh confirm the sail-
ing of a Russian squadron from Cronstadt ; and the Rus-
sian ships which pass the Sound, are only to replace those
returning from the Mediterranean. The other ships of
the squadron will remain in the Baltic for the exercise
of the crews.

We have an arrival from Jamaica of the 11th July, five
days later than the last accounts ; but no papers have as
yet come to hand.
A Stock Exchange report has been invented this morn-
ing, that the great success of the Russians, and the immi-
nent danger of the Sultan, have caused the latter to have
gone mad : in consequence of which he has been deposed,
and terms of peace have been offered to the Russians.
Accounts from Egina of the sth July state, that the
Sultan has ordered to get together all the corn in the
provinces of Thessaly and Epira, and to send it to the for-
tresses. This has caused great distress to the Christians
in the above provinces. The Turks have signified to
them that they will give them provisions, provided they
embrace the Mahometan religion. Several families, from
fear of starvation, have acee ted the offer.
