Tall* to the tide waters below, would be of great geu

of the tranfportation to market of large quantities of

be more fafe and left expenfive, by removing the trou

that numerous mill leats on faid river and its branch*.,

Through every feature, opening fair,
Ait image of thy father there !

Her hope, her fear, her foft diflrefs,
As bending oer thy cradled form,

And prays, with all a parent’s fears,

Ah ! babe beloved 5 condemn’d to bloom,
A flowret on thy Father’s tomb ;
Unmindful thou, that forrow’s power,
Hath mark’d the fromlife’s earlicft hour ;
Wrecklefs of many a bitter tear
That flow’d upon thy Father s bier ;
And many a briny torent died

Vet white thy tittle cheek hath prefl
Thy happieft Mother* throbbing bread,
No tongue could urge a ptea like thine
To foothe a breaking heart like mine,
Pour through the broad fo fweet a charm.
And e’en defpair’s fell pang difarra.
hoax at L^minjler- — On Friday laft,
two weil drefled gentlemen, from London,
picket! up a Red Morocco Pocket Book
naar the market in Leomifter. An honed
Farmer from Kilbontom, near that town
: was fortunate enough to witnef the tranf
: action, and adjourned with the principlas to
' a neighboring Inn, to aflitt in afeertaining
the nature ot its contents, and determining
the beft mode of dilpofing of them. After
a Ihort inveftigation, in which the farmer
had little fit are, the prize was eftimared at
2 jjcl. ; and the parties agreed on an equal
participation of this gift of fortune, on con
dition that the farmer, as an acctffary only
fboukl depofit the funi of five or fix guineas,
which included the price cf a quantity of
peafe * hich he had fold in the market, and
ail the loofe calh which he chanced to bring
w ith him. 1 his fair propofal was the more
readily complied with, becaufe the gentle
men from London were of the mod courte
ous manners, and averred that rhev came
not only to fuperintend the eflates of the
Right lion. T. Hartley of Berrington,
fr'ertferdthire, but were willing to take charge
of any otherferfons fr ope: ty, who unified "it
placed in fafe hands, and to great advantage.
1 he preliminaries having been thus amica
bly a*, jutted, and the depolit honorable paid,
the parties feparated whilft fupper was pre
paring, and the farmer took care to attend
in fuch time as might prevent his well bred
friends from waiting, and not regard the
grand dittribu ion of the fpoil. Half an
hour’s delay beyond the peiiod agreed on,
created a little uneafintfs in the farmer’s
breaft ; but one, two, and three hourshav
ing patted, he was induced to fend to the
gentleman s Inn, to remind them cf their
engagement ; when he had the mortifica
tion to learn, that his fritnds had decamped
immediately after receiving his liberal pref
ent, and were then probably able at thirty
miles diftance, to laugh over their fuecefs
and his credulity. [Lon- pap.~\

The negotiations from which all Europe
to this moment expe£fed peace and the rel

on Novofilit20ft’ has returned the pallporfs
which he had received from Milan, through
the mediation of our Court for his million

NOTE

4‘ When his Majefty the Emperor of all
' the Ruffians, in compliance with the withes
j of his Britannic Majefty, had refolved to
fend the undei figned to Bonaparte, to meet
the pacific overtures winch he had made to
the court of London, His Ruflian Majeily
was guided by two fentiments and motives
of equal force, w ith which you are acquain
ted, namely, his deiire, on the one hand,
to fupport a Sovereign, who was ready to
make exertions and facrifices for the general
j tranquility, and on the other hand, fo pro
j cure advantages to all the dates of Europe,
from a pacific difpofition, which from the
formal manner in which it was announced,
muft be ccnfidered as very fin cere.
“ ihe exifting difa reement between
Rufliaand France could have placed inl'ur
mountable obitacles *n the way of a negotia
tion of peace by a Kuflian Minister *, but
his Imperial Majcfty of Ruflia did net hef
itate for a moment, to pafs over all perfon
al difpleafure, and all ufual iormalities.
“ His Imperial Majefty of Ruflia availed
himfelf of the mediation of his Pruilian
Majefty, when lie requeued paflports for
his Plenipotentiary, lie declared he fhouM
only receive them on that particular condi
tion, namely, that his Plen potcntiary fliould
enter direbliy upon a negotiation with the
Chief of the French government, without
a know!edging the new title which he ha$
a (Turned i and that Bonaparte fliould tatve
explicit aflurances that he was ttill animate i
with the lame with foi a general peace
which he had appeared to thew n: his let

“ ibis preliminary a Cura nee was the
