to this the ahtoute impofiihty OF purifying

take It for granted that yleneuye like Months

On the whole We conceive that the naval o.
peratIons ofFrance were to be directed To two
points. With as large force in the w. Indies
as they could poilibly difpa,ch, they intended
TO levy contributions for paying the expenre of
the equipment aud to invade thofe Britt, il.
lands, which their troops were efficient to con-
quer. AS foon as they received Intelligence of
the arrival of Britifh fleet, they were then TO
return to Europe. The Touion feet. faid a

ratius. Unable TO meet the Britih navy en-

leave Melton behind them in the W-eh-Indies,

nous rejection oftheir petition for redrefs of
grievances, confpire to mark out that Hand
as the mott probable point of attack. What
would be the fate OF fuch prrious project,

Their weight my limbs n, more can bear:
But no one ioo,hs the Orphans an.uiib,
And no one hears the Or,han's PRAYER.
Hark, bark! for fure Tonne f,oti,epsnear me,
Advancing, prels'dthe drifted fnow

You lee no guilty. wretch implorc YOU,
No wan,on kneels. with feign'd difpair:

Oh grant the famiih'd Orphan. Prayer,
Perhaps you think my lips offending,
vi Virtuous forrov's feiCrl tale;
Then marx my frame, with anguifh ,remblipr,
MY hollow eyes, and features pale.
Zen fhould my nory prove ideal,
Too well sheie waited limbs declare,
My wants, at leaf, are no, unreal,
Then, tranger, grant the Orphans Prayer.
Hesgcne! no mercy man will thew me.
In prayers no more I'll waite nv breath:
Here on the frozen earth I'll throw me,
And wait in mute dirpair for death.
Farewell thou cruel world, to morrow.
No more thy icorn my hear, will fear.
The grave will fhield the child of li,rrow,
Ard Heaven will hear the Orpban', pc,y.,
But thou, proud NAN, the besgar rcornipy.

Thy heart ihall ache to hear at morning,
hat morn'ng found the beggar-dead.!!
