ON A COUNTRY LIFE.
WOULD you relilh a rural retreat,
Or the pleasure the groves caninfpire ;
The city’s allurements forget,
To this spot of enchantment retire'.
Where a valley and chriftaline brook,
Whole verdure glides fwectly along,
Gives nature a fanciful look,
The beautiful woodlands among.
Behold the lhady-green trees,
A beautiful umbrage have spread,
Where thelhepherdsmay 101 lat their case
And pipe to the musical lhade.
On the top of a mountain so rude,
In concert with waters below,
Is the voice of a mulical bird,
Whose notes do cheerfully flow*
Oit let me contemplative dwell,
On a feene where iuch beauties appear;
I could live in a cot or a cell,
And never think solitude near.

The American Ladies have hardly
had time to ape fotne English belle who
wanted to hide her lhape lor lhame, than
the falhion is changed—nine months
reasons have altered the lhape—and
round waills are all the rage. “ Pray,
fays Delia to her ffuiband, let me have
h round waist.”
The ladies of falhion in London,
wear feathers exactly of their own
length—so that a lady on her feet is
twice as long as in her bed.
The bucks are all cropped, at least all
Jacobin bucks—long hair is now a mark
of aristocracy. The rage is to crop
coxcombs and to dock horses, lhaving
off the ears of the latter close to the
head. . Whether the cropping of Jaco
bins, is not a prelude to a lhaving of
Cars and heads, we are not informed.
LONDON, March 27.
The late duel fought between major
Svveetman and capt. Watson, has unfor
tunately terminated in the death of both
those gallant oftieers—as the latter died
on Wednesday morning.
The two were natives of Ireland, and
old acquaintances ; they had forinerly
served in one regiment, but from a tri
fling difference of opinion, a little cool
nels arose. Ar the opera, one of the
gentlemen, we are not sure which, trod
on the others toe—in consequence of
which, a challenge was accepted. Each
made his will, and they dined together
in a mixed company the day preceding
the fatal catastrophe. They flood at
the distance of four paces, and fired to
gether ; captain Watfon’sball entered
the major’s lorehead, who notwithflan
ding, had power to walk up and alk his
anugonifl it he was wounded, so which
he replied, mortally—so am I, said ma
jor 6wcetjna.ii, and instantly fell.
Duelling, —[ The iktisfying point of
honour, at 7 paces, is pvemediated mur
der } unleis it is imagined real fear may
impair considerably “the point of fight.
To the law, so idly violated—to focic
ty, so madly injured, what can be the
juflification offconas.]
ALARMING RENCOUNTER.
The Manchester theatre has lately
been the feene ot fome tumult, in conse
quence ot several persons expressing dis
approbation during the Tinging of “ God
i.ive the king.” On Monday evening
lafl in particular, a riot broke out, which
threatened to terminate with much feri.
ous mifehiefand bloodthed. The song
being called lor, a number of gentlemen
an the boxes and pit would not take off’
their hats, on which fome of theoflkers
of the Bth regiment of dragoons, with
drawn swords, proceeded to enforce obe
dience, and in an instant, the whole house
was a feene of drendful confufion. In
the conteff, a number of persons were
cut and wounded ; amongtt the rest,
Mr. Johnf'on Edenfer, merchant, had
his arm cut open from the lhoulder to
the elboww A young officer, not more
than 14 years of age, who was very ac
tive with his broad sword, was thrown
from the boxes into thelpit, but lucki
ly received no damage. At length the
house being cleared of the ladies, and
the persons supposed to be inimical to
the tune, the entertainment was fuft'ered
to go on, at the end of which, ** God
save the king,” was again lung, but not
without much oppolition. Mr. Eden

Hr H E Subscriber is empowered by
X Mr. EVEy of the Bahama Islands,
to receive a fubfeription for his Cot
ton Ginning Machine. Gen
tleman of the states of South-Carolina
and Georgia, who may wilh to become
fublcribers, are requeltcd to fend for
ward their names as soon as convenient,
in order that the fubfeription may be
closed. Mr. Eve will engage to deliv
er the Machine, independent of the pow
er that impels it, in Savannah, for fifty
guineas. On Mr. Eve’s part, he con
trails that this Machine will gin joolbs.
of clean cotton per day, with a small
impelling power either of wind, of wa
ter, or of horses. This machine in a
few days, and with a trifling expence,
can be at cached to any machine in use
for other purposes, fuchas rice machines,
saw or grist mills. Mr. Eve will lend
over a person competent to set them in
motion, and fully to explain their sev
eral powers. From fome small expe
riments that have been made upon the
green feed cotton it appears that from,
150 to 20olbs. can be ginned in this
machine per day. For further informa
tion upon this fubjert I beg leav e to re
ier gentlemen to the underftgned certi
ficate from a refpeflable Cotton Plan
ter of this state, who has been an eye
witness ot the execution done by this
machine, and to various certificates that
have come out at different times in the
Bahama papers, signed by the moft ref
pedable Planters in that country. Fur
rher particulars will be made known
upon application from any gentleman
who may wish to become a lubferiber.
Ths machine has met with universal ap
probation in every part of the Welt-
Indies to which it has been sent.

certify, that, being on a vifxt for
my health to New Providence, one
of the Bahama Wands, I was induced to
make an experiment on Mr. Eve’s Cot
ton Ginning Machine of the green feed
cotton, commonly cultivatedin the back
country of the southern states, and sent
to Savannah for a small quantity there
of, which on experiment 1 found to an
swer. The rainy season letting in a
bout the time 1 received the cotton the
whole was not ginned, but Mr. Eve as
sured me his machine was competent,
from the calculation he had made, to
clean out in good weather two hundred
weight of clean cotton in the course of a
day. The machine separates the feed
Irom the cotton by rollers without do
ing any injury to the llaple, and, from a
sample of feed and cotton in poflelflon
of the lubferiber, any gentleman can be
immediately convinced of the truth of
this opinion. During my ltay in Nas
sau I frequently vilited Mr. Eve’s ma
chine which was impelled by wind, and
never saw more than two people attend
ing the fame, one a grown person and
the other a small boy. ‘Phis machine
is capable ot beingattached to almost any
ot those used for various purposes in this
country ; the continuation appears by
no means complex, and every planter of
consequence in the Bahamas is in the
pra&ice of using them.
