WHEN Time, who steals our years avav.

he memory OF the past will stay,

Then, Chloe, when thy beau.y's flower
Shall feel the wintry air,
Remembrance will recall the hour
.. When thou alone vert Fair.
Then talk no more of Future gloom,
Our joys shall always last;
For Hope shall brighten Gays to come,
And Memory giid the past.
Come Chloe. fl ,he seniai bowl,
l drink TO love ana thce;
Thou never canst decay in soul,
Thou'it still be young for ne.
And as thy lips the tear drop chase,
:. Which on my check they find.
So Hope shall steal away the trace
Which sorrow leaves behind
Then fill the ,bowl--away with glooms
Our joys shall always last;
For Hope shall brighten DAYS 10 come,
And Memory gild The past
But mark, at thought of fu,ure years.
When love shall loose its soul,
My Chloe drops her iimid tears,
They m'ngle with my bowl
How Ike this bowl of vine my fair,
Onr loving LIE shall Acct;
Though tears may SOMETIMES minple there's
The draught will still be sweet.
Then fill the bowl-zway with gloom.
Our Joys snail always last;
For Hope will brighten DAYS to come,
And Memory gid the past.

If any credit is to be paid to the French
deserters who arrived at Deal from Bou-

is not very well satisfied with Bonaparte's

on his tent, where it remained all day but
at night It was torn off and tranpled I'M
der foot by the soldiers. Another circum-
stance they assert, which is very probable,
viz. that very often, when the wind sets
in shore, the boats in Boulogne harbour
are much damaged from their being so
numerous and close together the rolling
of the sea dashes them one against the o.

a globe, intended for the coronation ofthe
Emperor Napoleon, is already finished, &
