AIRTT AL E. (an imitation
CANTO Ift.
Here fa![hood fore is putiijhcd,
And tdlentjs liketvife;
The I ale that imp* on Cudoen's k^ad.
Hate aye bifore your eyes.
\ DOWN the dale dull Cudden trod,
His homeward way with clowuilh ploJ,
And thoughtleif mind I ween ;
He whittling fzw the fun go down,
Nor far hed Jcfttlre market town,
Ere derknefs clos'd the scene.
His whiffling ceas'd, his courage fail'd,
While thus bis lot the looby wail'd,
And trembling totter'd on,
£< O had I from the ale-house kept,
4i Nor by the fire-fide idly slept,
44 By day light I had gone.
Now filly loon 'tis ten to one,
Before the rife of morrow's fun,
*' You'll rob'd and murder'd be,
44 My market ca(h how shall I.save P
u Oh ! Spare my life—take what I havr—
44 Hulh—foft—it was a tree !"
I*hus Cudden held his way,
Which through a thickset forrft lay,
With various path-ways croft ;
Loud howl'd the wind ; cold came the night,
Ct ribs, poor ihiv'nng dismal wight,
Ne'er in worse place was loft.
No broken branches caught his coat,
But ftiaight poor quaking Cudden thought,
Some devil had him got,
The moist fleet loon his garments wet,
Ne'er was poor swain so fore beset,
As Cudden was I wot.
Now o'er the Hippy darklin road,
Full many a weary yard he trod,
When lo ! a light he spied :
And soon in sooth a ruin'd wall,
A tott'ring tow'r with tui rets tall
He found himfelf beside.
Heenter'd mongft the ruins drear ;
Each coarse red hair gan crawl for fear ;
He o'er the pavement past :
His steps resounded as he went
Hoarse echoes forth the arches sent,
He reach'd a door at last.
And there the looby tVembling flood,
Nor dar'd to enter though the wood,
Blaz'd cheerful on the hearth ;
His wet cloaths clung his fhiv'ring limbs,
He hften'dlong but heard no
Of woe, ne bursts of mirth.
At length the lubber ventur'd in,
He himfelf and dry'd his skin,
Theft all adown he laid :
But fears ftillkept the loon awake,
Though much he wiOi'd a nap to take,
Yet not a prayer he said.
DiftinQ twelve times a -Jock resounds ;
The hour when Fairies take their rounds
T' irifpett the deeds ot men ;
The hour when mad'ning ghosts burfl out,
And howling through the thick air float,
Unthought of mortal ken.
The hour when Oberon and Mab,
Ar.d Puck, to punish maids that blab,
Blister their tongues they fay ;
The hour when Mab in frightful dreams/
Makes mortals think again the themes,
That fill their thoughts by day.
The hour when witches search the rooma,
And finding cobwebs, seize the brooms,
And mount aloft iu air,
There having gambol'd out their fill,
Descend and mount the maids at will,
And make them snort and stare.
Cuodin's cold fit redoubled came,
An ague (hook his clumsy frame,
He grip'd his purse full fart ;
This money gave the clown no reft,
He thrust it firft close to his breast
His breechen took't at last.
Now fiercer winds wild rock'd the hall,
Loud thunders rent in twain the wall,
And let in ruftiing light :
Cuodin pretending deadly sleep,
Would itillfrom out his eye-lids peep,
And saw a gallant fight.
Ten thousand waxen lights adorn
The glafTy walls, before forlorn,
And dark as dungeon dol'd ;
And ftra ght withoutcn aid of hands,
Up rear'd a beauteous fabric stands,
With throne of fliining gold.
Now Clarions fhrilT salute the ear,
And founding feet approachen near
Soft music fills the sky,
And now gallants all gayly drefs't,
Came riding in, full ten a breast,
On moufen pianklmg high.

LONDON.
ExtraCl of aletter from Bajiia, (Corfua,) Feb. i
THE spirit of liberty prevails more than ever,
throughoutthe whole Island. The Corficans,
who, only three months ago, were liable to severe
punilhment, if they appeared armed, are now all
provided with arms. No violence, no pillaging,
has, however been committed, and no other use
is made of strength than to protect our natural
rights. The firit endeavour was to leflen the
power of certain high families, who had formed
a combination hoftileto the freedom of the peo
ple, and who always oppofecl our having an arm
ed militia of citizens."
In this xra of uncommon revolutions, the
blacks seem inspired with the fame passion for
freedom, that is now so general in a great part of
Europe. In the British Island of St. Vincent a
spirit of opposition to theplanters has beenloi'ip
prevalent, not only among the negroes, but even
among the remains of the ancient natives, who
have outlived the cruelty and oppression of the
European settlers, few of whom are to be found
in any of the Weft India Islands but that of St.
Vincent. Tliofe circumflances ftror.gly evince,
that the opprefled inhabitants are not ignorant
ofwhat isgoing forward in our hemifphei e.
PROVIDENCE, May 20.
Extralf of a letter from a very refpetiai'e gentle
man in Congress, dated New-York, May Ix, 1 790,
to his friend in this town.
" The local situation of your state, its com
mercial advantages and pursuits, the energy and
enterprize of its citizens, combined in conlidera
tion with its former connexions with the nation,
will render it itopoffible that an ultimate fepaia
tion ihould take place.
" It being now generally believed that your
convention wiM rejedt the coirftitution, the mea
sures to be purfaed in that event are in the con
templation of rheSenate. It is probable the re-,
fult will be, that all commercial intercourse be--
tween Rhode-Island and tlie'United States will be
interdicted, as well by land as water ; and a de ;
mand madeof immediate payment of the intei eft at
least, perhaps the principal, of her proportion of
the national debt; while humanity will regret
the evils to be produced by these measures, thei
necessity, 1 am persuaded will juftify them to the
candor even of those who may be the principal
fufferers.—Thefe evils, which I>am confident you
will believe I ardently wish may be avoided, are
the least that can be done under the present cir
cumstances. They may be averted, and I will
not altogether despair, that Rhode-Island will yen
before it is too late, know and pursue the things
which belong to her Peace and Happinels."
CHARLESTON, May 5.
Yefteiday morning about 2 o'clock, a.mandrei
led in a clerical gown, was detected in preaching
to a number of negroes on Prioleau's wharf; but
by his activity, and leaving a bottle of rum and
his gown behind him, he effected his escape.

America has many warm friends 111 this country '

peace and plentywhich abound in America at this!

of the divine favor, and ought to be as Aich ac

millions of people, and in two centuries will neat
