And bend obesant at Tyrant's throne
Vassas to him Shal, this become your lot,
And Freedoms sacred charter be forgot!
I'D rather, torn from competence and home,
Eat the vile scrap, solicitude obtains;
Cold, through Kamtscatka's frozen regions roam,
Where, yeiPd in night, eternal winter reigns,
Than see my country to injustice cover,
And own the mandate of Despot's pos er---
Arm, Frecmen, arm Delusion's veil is rent

Csved in eternal snow Sanoides dwell;
Mil Atric's scorcliing sand, and tutid air,
Or where dread Upas darts her venom fell,
Yet, would my heart, to patriotism true,
Breathe its last sigh, o Liberty, for you
Arm, Freemen, arm loud sounds the trump OF

The clang OF conflict rends Won eastern sky

Alone intent TO conquer, OF to die
Whi'e, the pale Despot-struck with terror fed
And left his lcgions numbered with the dead.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

Mentor, from Londonderry to New-York
arrived In Boston, the 2Sth ult. having left
that vessel off the Capes. He furnished a
paper, containing London dates to MAY 90.
but which is principally occupied with the
examination, trial and execution of Beiling-
ham, the murderer of Mr.. Pcrcival.:s In
consequence of the death of Mr.. Percival,
there mad been necessarily some changes in
the administration. Earl Liverpool had
been called to the head of the treasury, and
Mr.. Vansittart to act as Chancellor of the
Exchequer. Marquis Wellesley and Mr..
Canning refused to- enter into any arrange
ment with the present ministry as had al
so Earl Mora.--The King continued to en-
10Y uninterrupted bodily health no amello-
ration or modification of the Orders in Coun-
ell had been determined OH ; nor had there
been any important changes in the political
character of England. With characteristic
iiberality, the Parliament had provided for
the education and support of Mr.. Percival's
family and for the erection of monument
to his memory.
The latest accounts from the continent
state, that Bonaparte had set out for the ar
my of the north, and that the Emperor Of
Russia was also on his way to Join his ar
my.
A Londonderry article of May %, states,
that severe and wanton impressment had
been made in that port, by Lieut.. Morgan,
OF the schooner Barbara that the occur
renee had excited considerable emotion in
the town, as the circumstances attending
1t were of an upjustifable and lawless cha
racter.
EXECUTION OF BELLINGHAM.
This unhappy man was executed on the
18th Of May, without the occurrence of any
tumult, or the expression of any other SEN
timent than that of pity for his de!usion.-
90 He endeavorcd, to the last moment of his
existence, to Justify the act which caused
his nnrimely end. He disavowed all per-
sonal enmity towards Mr.. Percival, and G.
ven laiuented that he had fallen in his way
instead Of Lord Leveson Cover, whose lite
he more ardcntly sought but the Justice
and propriety of avenging his private grie-
yances by the assassination of some of his
Majesty's Ministers or Servants, was unaI-
terably rooted in his mind''
