’ THE MUSEUM I TO ENGLAND. - From the London Morning Chronicle. Proud Queen of the Ocean! the land ot the fi ee! Once hope of the nations!—What trance is on j - thee ? , , Why. so still, and so voiceless, upon thy blue :j wave, While the Greek bleeds again o’er his forefath er’s grave? Remember the land of the patriot and sage, The lone light of mind in a barbarous age; The ark of bright freedom that %av’d her for ’ man, When Slavery’s deluge the earth overran. The parent of heroes —the bravest and best That e’er smote the plumage from Tyranny’s crest, And left the examples which make us believe What miracles Virtue can dare and achieve. The parent of all that to mind cah belong— Tlie Orator’s power—the enchantment of song The treasures of Science Philosophy’s plan— And History teaching the grandeur of man. Such, Greece, were thy glories when grand and alone Thou sat’st in thy beauty on Liberty’s throne; And thy brows were adorned with the chaplets most rare. Os the beautiful arts which bloom’d lovingly there. And these do we owe thee;—and now that thy ; name Again soars to glory o’er ages of shame, Shall we leave thee unaided to fight on that shore Which Freedom libs written with names we a dore ? Oh, rise! and avert from our age the foul stain, That Greece fought for Freedom, ami fought on in vain! While the Nation that boasts of the Christian’s best fame, §aw her temples consumed in the Mussulman’s flame ! <^h! let not this tale be through time handed down In letters of shame, and with History’s frown, That Britain look’d coldly on Freedom’s dread * lass, Avhile her soldiers were Greeks, and her ban ner—the Cross. The late Earl of Chesterfield was universally Tateenied the Mncxnns of the age in which he he lived, l)r. Johnson addressed the plan of his ‘dictionary of the English Lunguage to him, on that account; and his lordship endeavored to be grateful;, by recommending’ tliat valuable work in two essays, which, among others, he publish ed in a paper, entitled, the World, conducted by ( Mr. Edward Moore, and his literary friends.— Some time after, however, the doctor look great offence at being refused admittance to lord Ches terfield, which happened fay a mi, take of the por ter; and, just before the work was finished, on Mr. Moore’s expressing Iris surprise that Johnson did not intend to dedicate the book to his Lord ship, the lexicographer declared he was under no obligation to any great man whatever, and, therefore, should not make him his patron.— me, Sir,” said Moore; ‘'you are certain ly obliged to his Lordship for the two elegant papers he lias written in favor of your perform ance.” “You quite mistake the thing,” return ed Johnson; “I confess uo obligation ; I feel my own dignity, Sir; 1 have made a commodore An son’s voyage round the whole world of the Eng lish language; and, while I am coming into port, with a fair wind, on a fine sun-shiny day, my lord Chesterfield sends out two little cock boats to tow me in. lam very sensible of the favor, Mr. iMporeJ and should oe sorrv to say an ill-natured hing of that nobleman; buts cannot help think* , >'g he is a lord amongst wits, and a wit amongst lords.” Mr. Glover, the late dancing-master to the royal family, being in company with Picard, the fencing-muster, and the conversation turning up* oil their different professions, each master sup ported the superiority of his talent over that of the other. At 1 ngth words arose very high, and it was agreed to determine the dispute bv arms, next morning, in ilyde-park. The com batants met. When Picard drew his sword, Glover drew his kit, and began to play a minuet, sa mg, “Why don’t you dance ?” Picard was very angry, exclaiming, He did not understand being trifled with. “No,” said Glover, “1 don’t trifle with you; this proves the superiority of uiy profession, as y ou can do nothing without an op ponent: whereas 1 can amuse without the assist ance of any one.” The late lord Bolingbroke, on his return fiom France to England, had concerted, with lady Bo liugfaroke, a Scheme for ingratiating himself with George 1 This was to be by means of a young >adv, whom lady Botingbroke brought over with her, for the purpose of throwing her in the king’s way, in the hope of her captivating him. Bhe was a natural daughter of Ferioljthe Fiench ambassador at Constantinople, by the fair Greek; of whom rile Abbe Frevot has given us so enter taining a novel. The lure, however, did not take. Though the girl was an extremely pretty l>funette, sue wanted that German corpulence which was the king’s taste. Lady Bolingbroke’s Collateral negociutjotis were nevertheless not ab solutely without offset. She had often supped with the king, and made lord Bolingbroke’s part so gi.od, that it was not without reason imagined that, if the king had lived to return from Hano ver, he hud a very probable cliance of coming into die mimStrv, and even of supplanting Wal pole, not at that time so firmly fixed as he was /afterwards.
