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.

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 nan by birth, meeting with an arm 'd party, on a night profoundly dark, tuddenly found a horseman's pistol tpplied so his breast, and ]teard the mperious command, “ Declare ustantnneously, to what party you telong, or you are a dead man.” 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 now which side of the question you re pleased to favor.” “ No jesting,” eplied the speaker; u declare your 1 principles, or tire.” “ Then by 5 J—.—rejoined will not die with a lie in my mouth. American, to extremity, you spal peen ; so do your worst, and be damn’d to you.”—“ You are an bon- - ' ost fellow,” said the inquirer ; “ we i are friends ; and 1 rejoice to meet a man faithful as you are to the cause n of our country.” Ii i To the Elitorofthe Aurora. J At the present moment, when the ( attention of the public has been so „ much excited on the subject of duel- 3 ling, from the very extraordinary a 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. “Passy, (near Paris,) July 17,1784. “ Dear Sir , —I received yester day, by Mr. White* your kind letter of May 11th, with the most agreea ble present of your new book. I 1 read it all before 1 slept. * * * ! It is astonishing that the murde- | rous practice of duelling, which you so justly condemn, should continue so 1 long in vogue. Formerly, when du els were used to determine law suits, ' from an opinon, that Providence would in every instance, favour truth 1 ■ and right with victory, they were - more excusable. At present they decide nothing. A man says some ' thing which another tells him is a lie. > They fight; but which ever is killed, 1 the point in dispute remains unsettled. ■ To this purpose, they have a pleasant > little story here: A gentleman, in a > coffee house, desired another to sit ‘ farther from him. Why so ?—Be ■ cause, sir, you smell offensively. I That is an affront, and you must I fight me. 1 will fight you if you in sist upon it: But I do not see how 1 that will mend the matter ; for if you • kill me I shall smell too; and if 1 kill • you, you will smell, if possible, worse 5 than you do at present. How can • such miserable sinners as we are, en ? tertain so'mucli pride, as to conceive' t that every offence against our imagin • ed honor merits death ?—Those pet - ty princes, in their opinion, would ■ call that sovereign a tyrant, who ( should put one of them to death for a I little uncivil language, though point- I ed at his sacred person. Yet every ‘ one makes himself judge in his own I cause ; condemns the offender with ■ out a jury, and undertakes himself to ? be the executioner. “ Our friend ***** -# # * s “ Willi sincere and great esteem, I have the honor to be your most o bgdient and most humble servant, B.

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 cape with impunity. 0 cs It is impossible not to the address with which Mr c” 3 j ford has extricated himself from!! 1 predicament in wh the detection of those errors in hi. f P ort him ; and that he h I since been able to retain any share the public esteem, does evince that h , ,s **cally what his friends call hi! “ a giant in intrigue.” A Republican-, NEXT PRESIDENT Our respects to the “ Loui sv i| Advertiser” (saith the editors o fth Richmond Enquirer) and we tak leave to assure him, that if Mr. Cra ford has any scheme on foot • if! has been “ very successful in enlist . ing under his banners” any of“d, i editors of the United States,” We ar t notin the secret.
