Emraa from The Farmers MuJsum.

Extract fran the Farmers Malsum.
The celebrity of Buonapartein driving
from Toulon to CorGca, from Corfica
to Malta, from that iiland of Knights
to Alexandria, a port of the Gypfies,
and thence, perhaps, 6 to Thebes, TO
Athens, or the Lord knows where" "
reminds us of Swift's lines upon the
celebrated Charles Mordaunt, Earl of
Peterborough.
"Mordanto fills the trump of fame,
The chriRian world his deeds proclaim,
And prints are crowded with his name.
Knows every prince in Europe's face,
Flies, like a fquib, from place 10 place,
And travels not, but runs a race.
So wonderful his expedition,
When you have not the leaf fuipicion,
He's with you, ike an appartion.
Shines in all climates, like far,
In tenate's bold, and fierce in war,
A Lnd commander, and a tar"
Buonaparte, in his route to the Eait
Indies, is compelled, by a London Ge-
ographer, to travel through the burning
deGerts of Syria, or through the inhoi-
pitable fands of Suez. If he can el-
cape admiral Mellon, he will Jog mer-
rily along to Aurora and the Ganges.
The French can elevate balloons and
expand the parafol. As TO heat, men,
who have been overwhelmed with the
lava from the volcanoes Of Paris, can
tolerate the comparative mildnels Of
Allan funs.
