THE BARBER OF SEVILLE.

A comely young lad liv'd, few years ago,
In a street in the city Of Seville,
Who took by the nostrils full many beau,
And soon brought their chins to level.
But alas! Tho he lather'd each don who ap.
pear'd
SO quick, that he gain'd mis- hty favor,
A do7azeNo, one morn, as he took off beard,
As she pass'd, took the heart of this shaver.
The hidalgos he left in his shop all alone,
And FOLLOWED the maid to aa arbour;
Tho he fear'd that he never should call her
his hone,
For she 6arber-ous seem'd to the barber.
By his whiskers he swore his life hung on a
hair,
That nought from his breast could e.razsr;
That his plight was SO bad, he was quite In
despair,
And, in short, he contriv' d--to amaze her.
Says he, "I'm not poer, I've one penny to
shave,
And I've tgue pence to bleed for the vapors !:
To draw out tooth it is three pence | crave,
And charge nothing for reading the pa
pers."
And kiss he adventure as thus he did speak,
But WAS checked by a terrible bristlc--
/" Tho fower call'd rose" says he .blooms
on your cheek,
On your chin blooms sveea call'd thistle.
So no longer object-alI objections I'll stop,
If you wed me, consider the saving,
For each morning before that open my shop,
! Ill give you for nothing a shaving"
His reasons convinced her, and gain'd her
consent,
Refusal, so well had he parted
And when she aas shav'd to convent they
went,
And when they got there, they were mar
80 ried.
But the honeymoon Ger, and his love on the
slope,
She perceiy'd how he'd plana'd TO entrap
her;

suai good fortune should favor Bonaparte il
his designs upon Spain, we have no doubt
that he will soon after direct his attention. to
Austria, and she is in the right to prepare
for what she will have TO encounter. s. 3. '
In another part Of our paper will be found
the decree relatingto the expectation Of bit
ter, cheese and geneva from Holland. No
other articles are allowed to be exported;
and the law referred to, ofthe Esd Of Tan,l-
airy, 1903, prohibits the shipment, except
under bond by the shipper, and two sub
stantial persons in twice the value, that the
goods shall not be landed in England, or a.
ny OF Its dependencies. &
Yesterday a cabinet council was held at
the foreign office, atwhich nearly the whole
ofthe members assisted. The business was
considered to be SO urgent, that some Of
the members received their summons at SO
early an hour as 8 o'clock in the morning.
Vlscount de Materosa, of whose chayac-
ter and mind We have heard the highestre-
port, has been very graciously received by.
some OF the ministers. Hisintervicws with
the foreign secretary have been frequent
| lhe result OF these interviews was sent off
to his constituents late on Sunday night, by
one otthe persons (adomestic) who accom-
panied his loreship to this country. His
iordship was accompanied by four persons,
exclusive Of his secretary.
1t is said that general Dumourier has had
several conferences with viscount Materosa,
and the report vas yesterday, that he had
left town to proceed to Plymouth to embark
for Spain.
A letter from Gottenburgh, received by.
the last mail, states, that gen. Butcher, the
Prussian officer who acquired SO much re-
putation by his conduct in the late Prussian
war, is now with the Swedish army in Fin
land. We have not heard in what capacity
he acts.
The Norwegian Regency have issued an
order to prohibit the capture of Swedish
fishing boats.
Some doubts are entertained as to the au-
thenticity of the letter purporting to be from
the Prince Of -Asturias to the inhabitants
OF the Province from which he derives his
title. Upon the subject OF these doubts we
are not enabled to pronounce decided O.
Onion, but a letter in the Spanish language,
which is said to be the original, together
with several Other letters written in the
same spirie, and directed to the same OBJ
,jsct, have certainly been submitted to 60
yernment. We are also assured, that the
letter ct the Prince OF Asturias was shewn
to several OF the Nobility OF Asturias who
ilesitated to ioin the confederacy until this
invitation was presented to them, and they
recognised the Princess hand writing
The other letters and proclamations are
from various individuals and public bodies
of certain local influence, exhorting those
among whom their influence is likely TO ope-
rate, to rise IN defence of their country
Publications OF this nature are circulated
throughout Spain, and they are said to have
produced extraordinary effects upon the po-
pular mind.

OF battle precisely at the time appointed.
Not word was exchanged by the princi-
pals. The terms of combat were read
to them, aud they immedia ely to * their
respective stations at the distance of ten
PAGES. AT the signal 10 f, given by one
OF he seconds, they discharged their Dis.
tolls nearly at The same instant. Captain
Seddon's FIRE was without effect: Mr.
Daniels took effect, his bail entered the
right side of Captain Seldom, about half
way between the hip and The shoulder,
nearly in the centre of the body. Alter a
short lapse OF time, Captain Seddon, ,heN
challenging party was asked by Mr. Ma.
son, the friend of Mr. Daniel, if he was
sausiled The answered in the negative;
but upon being offered second fire, he
SAID he was unable TO fire again. HIS Sc.
cond, Mr. Alexander, then determined 70
be governed by the advice of his surgeon.
and in few moments observed that his
iriend was unable to Gre again; thai he
was satisfied, and had no further call on
Mr Daniel. Mr. Daniel, accompanied
by his friend and surgeon, soon lett the
ground.
