ADVICE WITH A SMILE FOR MR.. adj
CON AND THE NATION,

There liv'd Of yore famous Eaight,
m,n of more than mortal might,
A burly brat to boxing bred,
Who'd broken many Broughton's head,
And rough or tumble, up or down,
Would box the Devil for half a crown,
And this great fayorite OF fame,
Had Antaus for his Christian name.
Now this our famous man OF might,
WAene'er he undertook TO hight,
Prepar'd himself for every round,
Byfalling Hat upon the ground,
And tying at his lubher,s lengths
He gained a vast eucrease OF strength.
To knock him down like slaughter,d cattle,
Blu, made him mightier in battle,
Fo, each embrace of parent dirt,
Doubled his power Of doing hurt
Alciaes. str4ngiea him, It's true,
AS Bonaparte did Plehegru.
Tbo.al,. others say, 10 stop his breath,
He meanly squeezed the man to death,
And sent him packing to eternity i
By rug like that of French fraternity;
Yet that was foul play, and OF course.
Gould not impeach oar champion, tofce.
Now could Wish the nation might
Take pattern by this worthy knight;
Tic down by way of preparation
Of more effective "oppugnaaon.

FROM HALIFAX.

Mr.. Lee, from Halifax, has favored us
with papers to the 18th inst. By British
orders of council, dated Oct. 2Sfh, the
ports of st. John, Sheiburae and Halifax,
are declared open for impostatlons from and
explorations to the United States IN BRUSH
and American vessels. This order is in,
pursuance of an act of Parliament passed
some time since. The British Brig Emu.
lous, of Is guns, capt. Stupart, has had
battle with French corvette OF 20 guns.
The Emuious had IL killed and Is wound
ed. The Frenchman sheered off, and es-
capped. The frigate Juno, from France for
Martinique, fell in with the British squa-
dron, and remained with them two days,
undiscovered, repeating all the private sig
nails. When the squadron was off a harbor
of Martinique, being conveniently situated,
she suddenly made more sail, and ran in.
bicredI6le.h Several vessels from Guada
loupe for France have been recently captur-
ed by British cruizers. One cause of the
delay of the Martinique expedition is said
to have. been dispute between governor
BEcKwoRrH and governor PREvosT, as to
rank.
