THE MUSE’S LAMENT.
EITe, bring me my lUvp ! let me tfy if a strain
Can remind me of happier days.
When Byron .and Moore strove my favor to pain
Which prosing Bub Southey sought alter in vain,
Though now he is deck’d with the bays.
There was Wordsworth and Woodswonh, and
Coh.eririge, nnd two
Or three more—let me see, Watty Scott.
With Hunt, Quaker Barton, upon whom I threw
A gliinee now and then when I’d nought els« to do,
But they paid me off both Scot and lot.
I declare it* a shame ! here I sit all day long
A prey to a thousand vexations,
Noi a wihh for an ode, not a prayer for a song
Except in the wnv of a mere ding a dong—•
I’m pretty well worn out of patience.
There was Croaker, I lik’d—there was Percival
too,
Who often-times ask’d for my aid,
# Whom the better 1 lik’d as the better 1 Knew
And there was another who signed himself Q,
1 wish they would stick to the trade;
For I m pestered to de.»th with some knights of
the Quill
Who know not the worth of my favor,
Who will write you a rhyme as receipt to a bill,
I wish that Q would, and he can if he will,
Bind them over to their good behaviour.
Your Pindar and Linctus—Efle,you were to blame
When you caught a stray glance from my eyes *,
When 1 said .Not ut home, as each sent up his
name.
You should not have thrown it on sucha poor
train
Such ’tasters you know I despise.
Hark ! Hark ! there’s a voice my attention invites,
I hnv*» heard it I think in times past •,
It h Q—Efi’e run show him up ajid take lights
Quick! this is indeed one of m> lucky nights,
’Tis to pay me & visit at last.
We’l, Effe ! Wf 11 girl! Ma’am, he hade me to sayi
That next week—What next week again ?
I declare Its provoking—its always his way—
Just stops at the doot and says madam good day,
ill sec you next week—should it rain. Q.
The following Jen d'esprit, as it
is aptly called in the paper from
which it is extracted, has been fur
nished us by a (riend, who expressed
a wish to see it republished:—
“Alter hearing the debates in a I
certain great House on the question \
ot giving political power to Roman ,
Catholics in this Protestant conntry, ]
I returned home at three in the morn- .
ing, and being exhausted by the at- |
tentinn 1 had given to all the speak- (
ers, 1 threw myself on a sofa and fell ,
asleep. And as I slept I dreamed, 1
and behold a castle having four fur- |
rets stood before me:—near to this |
building was a crowd of people hold- j
ing a consultation, apparently on
seme important subject. I inquired j
ol a person who was passing, the ,
name of ibe place, and the assembly. ,
He informed me that 1 was on Tower
Hill, and that the crowd was com- [
posed of the neighbouring inhabi- ,
tants, who were considering the (
merits of a petition which bad been ,
presented to them from the wild :
beasts who inhabited the Tower,
praying emancipation from confine- j
merit, and an equal participation in .
all rights and privileges possessed by
every tame and harmless animal in
the metropolis—also admission to the |
Select Vestry of the parish, and a (
share in all offices, emoluments, and j
advantages, at present enjoyed by (
the resident inhabitants and house- t
holders. j
“ 1 thought I was in time to hear (
the petition read; and it set forth, j
among other tilings, ‘ that the brutes f
were, properly speaking, lords of the v
creation, being created previously to
man : that they were also the original |
inhabitants and possessors of the j
British Isles, which were infested by j,
wolves, and other wild animals, be- ]
lore they were discovered by man ; t '
that, although (hey did not deny the v
truih of certain histories respecting
the cruelties, murders, and enormities t |
ol many of their progenitors, nor even a
that they had been sworn enemies (]
both to the human race and to all *,
lame animals, yet that ever since they \
had become their fellow parishioners 0
in »h? lower they had lived barm- S!
lesvly and peaceably, molesting no g
<:. ,!i.id neither biting, tearing, nor p
.ic ..tin? any thing hut their daily {.
f' .d: that, so tar from being injnri
ous, they had contributed very great
iv to ibe emolument and security of f t
the Tower; and that in evidence of
this their good conduct they could \
bring forward the testimony of their I
keeper, and also that of many mon- 1
keys, pelicans, and other respectable 1
and defenceless animals, who had, 1
lived, for years in the Tower with I
them in undisturbed security. For <
these, and other reasons, they prayed I
emancipation from their present state
of oppression and unjust confine- ;
inent.’
“ Perceiving the favourable man
ner in which the petition jvas listened
to, and fearing, as the crowd was
rapidly increasing, that 1 might not
be able to escape before the wild
beasts should be liberated, 1 was
happy to learn that counter-meetings
had been held in Lamb’s Conduit and
Cateaton Streets, Nag’s Head Court,
Houndsditch, and Cow Cross; at
which petitions had been voted and
forwarded from the various tame ani
mals in the metropolis against the
emancipation of their wild fellow
subjects in the Tower. One of these
petitions stated, ‘ that since the wild
beasts acknowledged the Lion as
their rightful Sovereign, wherever he
may happen to be resident, and were
perpetually swearing obedience to
his will and commands, they could
not be relied on ns trustworthy sub
jects of King George IV. who was
nothing but a man.’
“ A grave old gentleman entreated
honourable members coolly to weigh
this fair objection—he was, however,
silenced by a shrewd and powerful
orator, who reminded the assembly
that the lions, having for the last 200
years been regularly washed every
Ist of April, had been purged by de
grees of all their natural ferocity, and
would certainly require nothing’ of
their subjects inimical to the peace of
the nation at large, or to the authori
ty of their well-beloved human bro
ther on the Throne.— A loud shout
of hear, hear.' —having confirmed
the solidity of this argument, no one
had courage to answer it. A uolher
petition reminded the meeting, that
the wild beasts were in the constant
habit of maintaining that no faith was
to be kept either with men or tame
animals; and that they were in the
habit of taking an oath, that, should
it be considered for the good of the
wild fraternity, the} might tear and
slaughter other animals as a matter of
eonsequenco.
“Another grave man now entreat
ed the assembly to allow this fact to
possess its just and proper weight
with them; so that, if they would not
listen to argument, they would at
least regard a proof of such nature.
A flourishing fellow, however, quash
ed all this by slating that what the
wild beasts promised on their honour
to the tame animals, or to man, was
of much more importance than all
the oaths they took to their Creator.
“After the Counter-petitions had
all been read, I thought the debate
continued as follows:—‘Mr. Chair
man, all beasts have equal rights—
they have been obedient subjects, and
peaceable inhabitants.’— ‘ What do
you mean?’ replied another: ‘ whv,
one got loose and killed the keeper’s
wife in the Tower; and a relation of
his, at Exeter ’Change, broke out,
and ate two monkeys. Another wild
beast got out near Salisbury, attack
ed the Exeter mail-coach, tore one of
the horses, and killed a dog; and
wherever they have got loose they
have always done the same: and as
for the Tower, if they have lived
harmlessly there, it lias been for this
plain reason, that they have not hud
the power of doing mischief, which
very power you now wish to allow
them.’
“ ‘ But,’ said another, ‘ they may
be let out safely now, for they are
ready to give security; they will give
bonds, and sign and seal any thin"
you please.’—‘ Hang it,’ exclaimed
another, ‘ hut they can claw it to
pieces as soon as they have signed
it.’—Sir,’ said one, ‘ a gentleman has
most unjustly reproached wild beasts
as bloody and ferocious in their dis
positions ; 1 can disprove such asser
tions altogether, and put beyond
doubt the fact, that all wild beasts
have at times been generous, grate
ful, and honourable : in proof of this
universal characteristic in wild beasts,
I will appeal to the story of Andre
ws in history, and to the fable of the
Bear, who so carefully whisked the
flies from his master's face while he
was asleep.’ (
I’il tell you what,’ observed an I
honourable Member; ‘you had bet- \
ter let (hem all out directly ; for they
have grmVn so much stronger latter
ly that formerly, that, if you do not,
they will soon force their way out !
without leave.’ i
“No one present seemed to think *
this argument worth answering, sine !
all remember our successful! op- :
position to the French Revolution, '
and the glorious end of the battle of j ‘
Waterloo. ‘I am for letting them J
out,’ said another, ‘ because I am
sure that we enjoy so much light, | •
knowledge, and freedom now, com-; 1
oared with what we did when Eng-|‘
and was covered with wolves, that i 1
jeople will not suffer themselves to!'
)e torn to pieces as they used to be j *
brmerly.’ I a
“ Another advocate for the claims,! r
rho had been conversion with many
oreign menageries in the course of
■is life, appeared to thinly that so
ar froin there being ary real grounds
or alarm, the wild heists, when re
eled, would from the Natural prin
ciples of gratitude and self-interest,
re found among the meat orthodox,
aacif.c,and loyal of all His Majesty’s
subjects, and even affqrd considera
ble assistance in keeping in order
:ertain refractory animals, who, un
der the present systen|, were often
showing their teeth, aikl giving him
considerable trouble ;ind as this ad
vocate was known to be much in the
secrets of Government, his notion
seemed to take surprisingly with all,
except with those whoppprehended,
that, when the wild beasts should
once feel their own strength, they
would set np for themselves, and on
ly concede to this modern champion
of their claims the privjlege of being
devoured last.
u Another Membcraffirmed, that
‘ times were completes altered, and
that therefore wild beasts and every
thing else must be altered too.’—
Yes,’ said one, ‘ but wliat has made
the alteration ? Has knot been the
putting down the powjrof these fe
rocious animals ? If you are sensi
ble of the blessings of fight, freedom,
security, and peace, thin keep them
while you have them; and if so
you will continue those under con
trol who have never allowed thest
blessings to other animals than thost
of their own fraternity.’ lie alsi
added, ‘ Suppose ycu let them out
and they should begm their old trick:
of tearing and devouring, how an
you to get them in igaiu ?’ He was
however silenced by cries of‘ Order
order!' and a reprimand from th<
Chairman, that h’n expression i oh
tricks' was unparliamentary, am
that any reference to future evilcoult
only he speculative.
i: Tlie facts which had been brongh
forward were, however, deemed like
ly to have some effect on the mind
of impartial hearers, and it wa
therefore considered advisable to di
vert them from close consideration
and in order to effect this, [ though
a lively little old man stepped for
ward as a volunteer with a violin un
der his arm, and said, ‘ Mr. Chair
man, I will sing you a song on tlii
subject;’ on which he began, and
thought I never heard a more musica
voice than that of the old man. II
skipped round and round like a bin
on his perch, and brought such melo
(lions sounds out of his violin as mad
all the people cry out ‘ Hear, hear!
and dap their hands with eestaev'.—
The following, I thought, was hi
•ong;
‘Through this grand conciliation,
‘Wo sha 1 boa happy nation.
4 Loving- crows each savage beast,
‘ Grateful for our favours past.
1 Blessed nay when all are free!
4 Lot them out, my friends, and see.’
<£ Now, I suppose, it will be allow
ed that there was more sound thai
sense in all this, yet it had such ai
effect on the hearers, that they seem
ed indisposed to hear any one else
and there was a general cry of ‘ Ques
tion, Question/' A Member indeei
ventured to say, ‘Mr. Chairman, oi
a subject of this serious importance
to us and to our children, is it to hi
supposed that we shall allow our
selves to be fiddled out of our oh
English understanding and commoi
sense ?’ But, perceiving that he wa
against the question, they soon cough
ed him down; and only one mor«
speaker would they listen to: thi:
was a bald-headed man, who pleaset
litem much by reminding them tha
there was once a lioness who used It
suffer her keeper to go into her der
whenever he pleased; from whicl
circumstance lie asserted it was prov.
ed that wild beasts were by natim
friendly to mankind; and after dwell
ing most forcibly on this wondrous
piece of disinterested hospitality, lu
added, ‘one good turn deserves
another.’
“ J his was enough—They were
now ripe for emancipation ; and stran
gers being ordered to withdraw, !
was most happy to find it possible tc
obey the command, lest I should fee!
(he fraternal hug of so many lions
tigers, bears, and leopards. Just as
h was passing All-hallows Barking,]
thought some one had conveyed the
joyful result of the meeting to the
lower; and the universal howl,
growl, and scream of exultation emit
ted trom the dens of the various ani
mals terrified me so greatly, that I
(woke, and behold it was a dream.”
A soldier of Gen. Marion’s Bri
gade, named Lcvingstone, an Irish

mperious command, “ Declare
ustantnneously, to what party you

I lie situation being such as to render
t highly probable that it might be a
British party,he very calmly replied,
1 1 think, sir, it would be a little
aore in the way of civility, if you
"ere to drop a hint, just to let me

At the present moment, when the (

much excited on the subject of duel- 3

course which the southern duel has f
taken, it may be perhaps interesting (
to your readers, to see the opinion of
Dr. Franklin on this practice. It is
contained in the following letter to
tile late Dr. Percival of Manchester.

It is astonishing that the murde- |

so justly condemn, should continue so 1
long in vogue. Formerly, when du

■ and right with victory, they were -
more excusable. At present they
decide nothing. A man says some

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
NO. 111.
The friends of Mr. Crawford have
maintained an inflexible silence on
the subject of the erroneous account
he gave of the state of the finances in
his report of 1820 to the two houses
of Congress. It is certainly good
policy in them to forbear the discus
sion of a subject which will not so
well bear the light. We have often
seen a cunning advocate in a court of
justice when he had a bad cause, do
his client more good by pretending
that it was not necessary to say any
thing, (when indeed he had nothing
of purpose to say,) than he could pos
sibly have done him by the most la
bored harangue: But certainly
those who believe that Mr. Crawford
is neither the wise nor the good man
that his friends represent him to be,
should not suffer a transaction to
pass into oblivion that either evinces
the weakest head or the worst heart
that ever fell to the lot of any man,
who, In a government so little corrupt
as ours, had raised himself to so dis
tinguished a station.
Although we are not among the
number of those who believe in she
infallibility so commonly attributed
to Mr. Crawford by his friends, yet
we cannot believe lhat he is so gross
ly ignorant as to be unable to make a
common calculation. It is yet in the
recollection of many persons, that
this gentleman was once in his life a
schoolmaster. He must, during the
time he exercised that profession,
have attained to some proficiency in
the fundamental rules of arithmetic
which has not yet been entirely blot
ted from his memory.
Taking it for granted then, that
the error of seven millions in the cel
ebrated report of which we are speak
ing, could not have originated in mis
take, it becomes a matter of curious
speculation what motives induced
Mr. Crawford to attempt so daring
an imposition. As this gentleman
never puts much to hazard unless his
object is an important one, it may be
well supposed that he did not risk
his reputation for truth and honesty
on a light occasion. The object,
whatever it was, must have been a
tempting one that induced a man of
his ambition to endanger the reputa
tion he had gained with a too confi
ding people by a life full of artifice
and intrigue.
in order to gain some insight into
his motives on this occasion, it may
not be amiss to look into the views of
the party lhat support this gentle
man's pretensions to the presidency.
It is now pretty generally understood
that Mr. Crawford is at the head of
what is called the economical party,
that has assailed with so much ran
cor all the useful institutions of the
country. He might feel himself
bound in duty to give all the support
his official situation enabled him to
do, to this party in their efforts to de
stroy our little army, curtail our navy,
and stop the further progress of our
fortifications on the seaboard.
No more eligible way might pre
sent itself than to represent the state
of the finances to be worse than it
really was, and the necessity of bor
rowing largely -to meet the current
expences of the government. This
might induce many persons, who
were otherwise friendly to the views
of the executive, but who were alarm
ed at the idea of a further increase of
the national debt, to come into the
views of the reforming party, and
thus a majority might be gained over
to she support of their measures.
That these were really the views of
Mr. Crawford on this occasion we
will not assert, for who can with un
erring certainty trace out the plans
of a “ giant in intrigue ?” but that his
false statement of the amount of the
finances was calculated to produce
the effect we have mentioned, is what
every man who reflects on the sub
ject will discover.
I his will receive additional con
firmation when we recur to the fact,
that a member of Congress, who was!
known to act upon the views of the
treasury department, shortly after
this report was made, availed himself
nf the panic it was likely to produce,
to move for the reduction of the army
to a single brigade. The subsequent
md very fortunate discovery of the
furors nf this report prevented, fin
some degree,') ,ts producing itg fu|
eftect upon the representative s of K
people but this is no reason 1
the author of so barefaced a mi.!'
resentutjon should be suffered , P
