Far remov'd from noise and smoke,

Who dreams not, as he fe;ls the oak.
What mischief dire ne brews:
How art may shape his falling trees,
In AID OF luxury and case:
He weighs not matters such as these.
But sings and hacks and news
Perhaps, now fell'd by this bold man,

Or wheebarrow where Oyster Nan

Or else the quack's, perhaps the stocks,
Or posts for signs, OF harbers' blocks
Where smiles the parsons wig.
Thou mak'st, bold peasant, ah! what grief
The gibbet on which hangs the thief.
The seat where sits the great Lord Chief,
The throne, the cobler's STALL
Thou pamperst life in every stage,
Mak'st foly's whims, pride's equipage,
FOR children toys, clutches for age,
And collins for US all
Yet justice let us still afford
These chairs and this convivial board
The binn that holds gay Bacchus' hoard,
Confess the Woodman's stroke;
lie made the press that bled the vine,
The butt that holds the gen'rous wine,
The hall itself where tipplers join
10 crack the mirthful joke.

10 our own national hopes, they must ultimately
depend upon the measures of our own govern
mcnt. II IS difficult to determine what are the
privileges OF our commerce, what are its dam
gers, and what may be its hopes. The Russian
Empire appears not to have changed its pcliti-
cal SITUATION. The Swedes have withdrawn
their buoys, by which they rendered the navi-
CATION OF their coast safe, and the Prussians dis
charge their cannon at every English armed
vessel winch isseen to approach their ports. In
the tanseatic departments, increasing vigilance
is employed against all British merchandise,
or intercourse OF every name, and these de-
partuients have lately been reminded of their o.
bhgations to declare whatever may regard Eng
lish commerce, under the penalties which have
been decreed against all who shall conceal any
English property, fund, or establ ishmcnt of
commerce. The time has also been fixed with
IN which declarations should be made on this
subject
In France the extension of the Empire is still
a subject tondly indulged by the National ann
bition The French preserve the bounds of the

has also received new orders for its boundaries

sis;ance to these changes, and patience with

probably only changes its name without great
