attempted to attack them. All the at;lle.
~, ammunition, and baggage of the army
were lett to the enemy, and among the
rest, the generals cabinet, with bis letters
and instructions, which the French court
afterwards made great use of in their
printed memorials and mauifestoes. The
loss OF the English in this unhappy affair.
amounted to seven hundred mer. Their
oihcers, in particular, suffered much more
than IN the ordinary proportion of battles
in Europe. Sir Peter Hacket fell bv The
tirst lire, at the head of his regiment, and
the generals sec, etary, son to governor
Shirley, was killed soon after. Neither
the number of men which the enemy had
IN this engagement, nor the loss which
tney sustained, could be SO much as guess
ca at, but the French afterwards gave out
that their number did not, in the whole ex.
coed four hundred men, mostly Indians.
and that their loss was quite inconsidera.

concealed IN such manner that the En-.

SO long, that they never stopped until thew

injected those troops with their terrors =.

Washington, however minute, cannot fail
to be particularly interesting to every citi-

nature and consequences as that of Brad

FARE THEE WELL.

Fare thee well and il for ever.
Still for ever, fare thee .eR---
Hven though unforgiving, never
'Gainst thee shall my heart rebel
Would that breast were barred before thee
Where thy head 90 oft hsth lain.
While that placid sleep came DER thee
Which thou ne'er can'st know again
Would that breast by thee glanced over.
Every inmost thought could shew,
Then thou would'st at last discover
twas not well to spurn it so--
Though the world for this commend thee
Though It smile upon the blow,
Even its praise, must offend thee,
Founded on another's woe
Though my many faults decreed me-
Could no other arm be found
Than the one which once embraced me
To inflict eureiess wound
Yet-oh. yet--thyself deceive not
Love msy sink by slow decay,
But by sudden wrench, believe not,
Hearts can thus be torn sway,
Still thine own its life retaineth-
Still must mine--though bleedinR--beat.
And the undying thought which paineth
is-that we no more may meet
These are words of deeper sorrow
Than the wall above the dead,
Both shall live-but every morrow
WAKE uS frOm WloOWo DEL.
And when thou would'st solace gather
When our child's frat accents flow
Wilt thou teach her to say-"Father 20
Though his care she must foregol
When her little hand shall press thee
When her lip 70 thine is prest--
Think of him whose prayer shall bless thee
Think Of him thy love had bless'd.
Should her lineaments resemble
Those thou never more may'st see
Then thy heart will softly tremble
With pulse yet true to ma
AL my faults, perchance thou knowest---
All my madness-none can know
All my hopes-whefe'er thou goest--
Whither--yet with thee they CO.
Every feeling hath been shaken,
Pride--which not world could boeSS
Bows to thee--by thee forsaken,
Even my soul forsakes me now
But tits done-Rll words are idle
Words from me are vainer still /,
But the thoughts we cannot bride
Force their way without the will,
