GEORGE CANNING’S ACCOUNT OF
HIMSELF.
My name is Canning ; on the Thespian
boards
My mother play’d her part, a thrifty dame,
Whose only care was to increase her store,
And teach her only son the “ Rule of
Three.” (1)
But I had heard of sinecures, and long d
To follow in the track that, leads to court;
And Heaven soon granted what I so de>
sir’d;
The Gallic sun rose from chaotic night,
And by its blaze,a horde of Sana Culottes
Rush’d, like a torrent, o’er Hi’ affrighted
world—
Threat’ning all crowned heads. The Con
ner wrote,
The lacobins to succour- (2) —I, on place
Intent- wrote, in the -’inti Jacobin,
Philippics against France —and PUt soon
mark’d
The squibs I penn’d, and rank’d me with
his friends,
A chosen band, cf needy, hungry place,
men,
In fortune all advancing. This life 1 led
Until at Waterloo wu met the foe ;
We fought and conquer’d—thank our
lucky stars,
The loitering Grouchy seal’d the fate of
Map, (3)
Who wore that day the crown fat Louts
wears.
F.xulling in our triumph, I disdain’d
A rhyning punster’s life; and having
heard
That Lusitania’s king, call’d by his peers,
His course was bending to the Tagus’
sidp,
I left my native laud, and took with me
The sum of fourteen thousand pounds a
year.
The king came not—but what car’d I for
that ?
I ale and drank, and then came buck a
gain;
Ami, lit avert be prais’d, have liv’d to see
the day
When India hails me as her governor ?
03*
(1) The Rule of Three is of special
use to all courtiers, as enabling them to
calculate the connexion between principle
and interest; ns thus :—Mr. Canning, at
one period of his life, was on the point of
joining the Whig party; and we have thu
authority of a very celebrated writer for
the fact, that just before the breaking up
of the last administration, he was in actual
treaty w ith the whigS tor a place : ‘ Had
they survived twenty-four hours longer,
he would now (says lire writer) have
been declaiming against the cry of ‘ No
Popery,* instead cf Inflaming it.” Now,
we will sn( pose the writer wo have just
quoted to have been in error; and that
Mr. Canning, who is a whig at heart, de
clined coming in under the whirs, for
some valuable and perspac'ive considera
tion r a Lisbon job, for instance; then
the Rule of Three would he resorted to.
to resolve this question—“ If, by a partial
surrender of my principles, (say, one third
i f the total) I obtain 40,000 pounds a y ear,
how much will an entire surrender of
those principles obtain Dividing the
whole of Mr. C’s political integrity into
three parts, the question, according to
Cocker, may he thus staled—
As one-third is to forty thousand, so are
thn e thirds to forty two thousand;
Which sum we presume to be about the
annual value of the governorship of In
dia ; not visible on the books, pet haps,
bn “ tangible" in the pocket.

S Satires, by George Canning, Esq ]
) The const qnences of Grouchy *s
neglect to follow the plans laid down by
Napoleon, and of his tardiness in coming
op at the appointed time, arc well known.
An Irishman was brought before a jus
tice at Bristol, England, on a charge of
having six wives l The magistrate asked
him how he could be so hardened a vil
lain as to delude so many! ‘ Plase your
worship,’ said Pat, ‘I was only trying to
get a good one.’
A gentleman having a pad that started
and broke his wife’s neck, a neighboring
’squire told him, that lie wished to pur
chase him for his wife to ride upon.—
• No,’ says the other, • I shall not sell the
little fellow, because I intend to marry
again myself-*
A gentleman of Leeds, in his descrip
tion of his eloped wilt, says, ««he has a
tongue that cuts like a razor.’

From the JVazhington City OateUt,
The story of the Irish porter given by Mr.
Matthews, the comimdian—is full of
that prodigality cf humor for which the
low L ish are so much celebrated
On Ida first being put asho. e in Ireland,
on his way to seek an engagement at Dub
lin, Mathews hailed a lad with a horse and
cart, who stented a likely person to earn
his luggage to the hotel. The fellow
seemed willing to carry the things; but
all that M. could get from him in answe>
to repeated questions was “ Whisht! ”
accompanied each lima by a significant
gesture, denoting the necessity of caution
and siience* At last, on coming to an ex
planation, it appeared that the young
scape-grace hail, as he very candidly as
siind M “just stole the horse and cart.”
Not chunking to trust his trunk to the
care < f the Irish meremy, he gave it to a
man to carry : who, on their arrival at
the hole!, was not satisfied with a shilling
that M. gave him 41 And is litis all you’re
going to gi'me. Mr Matthews: for bring
ing that nw.rdirkig load ?■” which M. des
cribes as a mere snvjfbtx ol a trunk) M.
was not a little astonished at the fellow’s
knowing his name, a.t he hail never been in
Ireland before ; and ha imputed how it
could be Och ! dot *i I know }on well c
uough, Mr Matthews! and don’t I know
that your honor’ll gi’me another six
pence !” M. “ Well, if yo'll tell me how
you came to know me; I will give you
another sixpence.” “W illicit, though—
honor bright ?”-M. “ Yes, I will.”—
“ Why then, did’nt 1 retd your good look
ing name* on the little brass pla’e at the
top of your honor’s truak—blessings on
the Sunt ay schools for it!”—M. Well
here’s a shilling, give ir.eaeixpercgbyck.”
“ Damn the bit a oixpem I’ve got ; but
I’ll run anil fetch one, anC be back in” —
M. “ Not got one ; why I saw one in your
mouth this moment.” “ And is it that you
mane? Would I, think yc, be after giv
ing your Honor a sixpence out of my dirty
mouth !”—M, 41 Well krep the shil
ling.”—“ Ah ! good’ luck and success to
your Honor!—has your mother any more
ofye r”—This is very rich and racy.
Mr. Matthews relates a capital story of
his having prevented a quarrel, by catch
ing witli great presence of mind a decan
ter which one gentleman threw at ano
ther's ht ad tne.ely observing to the for
mer that he was 44 passing the buttle 100
freely.”
A poor man who lived in America while
it was British provinces, was templed by
hunger to violate the British game laws,
by shooting a deer when in th ted; 'the
penally for which was fie pounds, one

king-—btr in case thcoilVnder was unable
to pay, he was to have thirty lasnes.—ln
some short time as cr the offence was com
mitted, the man w s informed upon hy his
neighbor, to whom he gave half the deer.
The informer, in hopes of getting half the
fine, attended the trial, which was before
an old Scotch magistiale. The evidence
being in point, the magistrate obsetveH,
that he was compelled to give judgment
against the defendant who replied, dial
lie had no money 4 Wol mon,’ said the
magistrate, 1 we mon have the lashes then.’
The man was submissive. The magis
trate then thus addressed the sheriff—
-4 Take that mon, the informer, tie him to
yon tree, and gic him fifteen lashes—and
when King George comes over, we will
gie him his half. Half till the informer
and half till the king,’

Singular Fact relative to Leeches. 1
A respectable gendeiuan of our acquain
tance, wliu had lately occasion for the ap- i
plication of leeches, in consequence of a !
severe bruise, was assured of the fact, by
the female who attended him on the oc- i
casion. Although the detail may be rc- t
veiling to our feelings, the circumstance i
deserves to be recorded, as illustrative of t
the natural history of this singular animal. 1
Another gentleman had previously em
ployed this woman, who obtained her live- <
liluioil by the application of leeches, from j
whom he purchased eight. Upon viewing ]
the wound for which they were intended, t
she observed, that eight would be quite A
enough for his purpose ; ar.d, to her aston- a
ishment, insteadof allow ing the leechts to t
suck as usual, until they fell oft' from re- s
pletion, be very deliberately cut their f
tails off with a pair of scissors; not with- v

Standing which, they continued to adhere
as before, whilst the blood passed through
them in an uninteirupled stream. We
should not have ventured to state so sin
gular a phenomenon on any authority, but
such as we deem of the most unexcep
tionable nature ; and we cannot avoid ob
serving, in conclusion, that, in the faculty
of continuing to extract after their tails are
cut off, the ccmmon leech beats no small
affinity to some of those state leeches, call

lic duty, continue to draw from the public
