MMUDfUm»m*** f Hli NEWS SAT what is tlie NilWS ? cries the grave Connoisseur \ ’ I is the New3 that we want, fay's ihe 'Statefman demure ; The News is the cry, thro country and town. And the News is re-cri’d by the tit and the clown. I. he Merchant wants News, ere his goods he can fell, And the Trads [man requests as the News him to teii : But the fonrces have fail’d, which us oft have fuppli’d, And our own manufacture mull now then, be tri’d ; For to grati y each, and to fuit ev’rv call, Wc’ve a mill or our own, ta grind News for you all. The N ews then from Engthnd, is after this rule. Her Council is weak, her King is a fool, Who much docs refetnble /E fop's dog and his meat, Who grafp'd at the flisdow, and lull all he’d to eat; For ruling with iron, as the Rory relates, • He loft front his kingdom at leaft Thirteen States ; Whofe ftrength was united, with virtue their fhield, And they drove Englilh troops in difmay from the field. The imprefiion then made, ‘twas expected would laft, And he’d (brink from ncu> crimes when he thought of the pdf: But inured to all fin, and fo pra&ifed in guile, Engl and ne're will refrain for any long while. You long fmee have heard of her commercial decree} Of her kidnaping men, when found cti the fea •, Of her murders committed, e'en under our nofe, And the ofFereftv? made through her minilter li fe: Of the treaty that lit shine with Mndijon made, Unfkack’Ung our Commerce, and opening our trade 5 Her miniRer pledging the faith of his Ration, Vo regard all the rights of Columbia's nation. Th Re tr uths have been told you, and ftrange things befide; H nv this nation deceiv’d us. how her miniRer lied, How refus’d to recognize whit Evikine had done, And our fettlemsiu Rood where it firR had begun. Slie then fent out Jackfon. empowered to ufe, Not the language oi peace, but the fouleR ulufe 1 A11 image of England, a tyrant, an afs, With the heart of a fiend, and a forehead of brafa : For the injuries done us, the foie reperation ts to brazen it out, and infuXt the whole nation. Our rulers dilliking thisme‘l)od of treating, They fent the whole group with this Jackfon a packing. Since then from Old England r.o news we’ve receiv’d •, Of her faith or good will, we do nothing h, lieve ; Though (he’s blind to nWjuftice, Rill our rights may regard; And her intere/l lead her our claims to reward. Our ties with the)French, are f.iR breaking afundcr ; Our nation’s abus’d, our merchants they plunder; Trending on in the liens of their vile Englifh neighbours, They dance the fame tunc, and fiiovv us French capers J The emp’ror of France, to extend his domain, H is hundreds has murder’d, his thoufands has (lain ; Suchfuccefs has attended his efforts thus far, Nu power now is able his wiflies to mar That men could invade, without being (lain Through the walls of Old England, which ruleth the main. Let us then be cautious, and mind the old rule, Neither truR to a madman, nor play with a pool ! Of Russia and Prussia, nought can now be rehers’d, The French both have beaten, their troops have difpevs’d, And the titles with which once both nations were bleR, Are added in triumph to Bonaparte's lif ! From the land of Potatoes nothing late has been heard, The green’s no more worn, by the people and laird ; So ftrongly appii’d was the rod of correction, That Ireland now, is in perfect fubjeftion. From feenes thus remote, we now will retreat, In America’s Congress awhile take a feat, Review theii proceedings, take a peep and a fquint, Haflen back to the Argus, in that the News print: With the tyrants of Europe a moment cnntr&ft, The bleffings America’s people can borlt. Here no defpot can threaten, or wave the fell fwovd, But each private man is more free than a lord : The men winch here govern, the people lefpedt, And ihe laws which thev make, aim their rights to protefc, In Congrefs we find, that that body perceive The Prefklent’s right, nothing more to receive From this Jackfon which England ha- fent as a fpy, To examine our Rate, and to tell us we lie : A refolve lias been pafs’d, giving MacUfon thanks, In difniiifing this Jackfon for playing fucli pranks; And the meafures which heR with the times now will fuit We tvuR that their body will fpeedy adopt. Various noware the meafures they’ve under debate, llefpccting our rights, to our trade which relate. Some with to repeal the Non-Intercomfe act, Our Merchants allow their own trade to ptote£l; Tp arm all their (hips, and each other convoy, And the forces of France, and of England annoy. Borne, our National fhips'twHh toman and to arm, And bring to our ports thofe our commerce who harm : jAntl fume wifli that no laws like tliefe Riould be made, Till further returns from king George can be had : But from what we can learn cf the wiflies of Congrefs, They meafures will take which appear to he Rror.gelt; Embargo laws now, they no more will enafl, But pals fach as with force all our rights will protect. The News for the Merchant no profiit will yield, Our Tailors are forc’d from the fea to the field ; The orders of England, the edicts of France Have drove them afliore, to join tbe gay dance, Till Commerce’s prole&cd, our {hips ready made, ^k»l the nation is ready to guard its own trade. V/hile this is the cafe, and the times on all bear, Encourage the people their own cloth to wear ; F,re£t Manufactures, if on trade you depend, TnRead of French pew gates, honed homrfpun row vend. Some Merchants that on our lea boards do refide, With all the gay ploafurcs of wealth arc fuppii’d ; "With England combin’d, their (hips to Ripply, With the Cotton which now at low prices they buy ; Though the number is fmatl, to fucli wick? that are given, . et rewarded they ’ll be, at the dread bar of hesven ! The News for the Planter is, Coffon is felling, In good bagging pack’d, for full a York fliiiling ; So gin all you have, and to market quick take it; Should the price be Rill better, ere the next year you '11 make it: But this waiting a year for the price to enhance, Believe me my friends is a mighty bad chance. We ad vile you to fell what’s remaining on hand, Get the bed price you can, till again your rich land, And before the next year, for your reconipcnce, May each pound of it bring you at lead twenty cents. The News fur the Ladies, we have none now to offer, But our very bed wipes refpedlfully proffer; To thofe that; are married may each day be bled, Refpedled by all, by their hufbands carefs'd ; And to thofe that are fingle wc wifli eveiy joy, A hufband this year, by the next a fne bey ! We the lovers of grog with good News can fur.ply, Half a dollar, a gallon of Whilkcy will buy ; And he that is poor, but who loves a good fip, A full dram can buv, with only a thrip. But take heed my good friends, while with liquor elate, Led a flight touch ofconfcience your joy Riould abate, J.eR fomeibing within you Riould tell the fell news, That your foul’s furcly loft if you much of it ufe. In the chance game of life, the Spor/fman we name, Ami while he names his bet, we his notice will claim, And allure the whole lid, who are eager to win, In the wot Id that’s to come they mud anfwer each fin, And though beie they cheat, and pradlife all evil, They never can dupe their grand maRcr ilie devil! And defpitc of their oaths, or the noife they may make, The gtim tyrant Death will fure win their !af fake ! ■>!.

Mr. Burwell fan! there were two other views o! this fut:j et, which h* had not touched upon.
