SAPPHICH ODE-
To the Evening’ Star.
Cloudt/toat around to honour the*, mid Earl'S
Lingers in Heaton.
VVhk.v front the blue ikj trace) of the daylight
Fade, and the gigh.t-wjnds sigh from the ocean,
Then, on thy watch-tower, beautiful thou shineit,
Star of the Evening.
Homewards weary man plods from his labour,
From the dim Tale conies the low of the oxen;
Still are the woods, and the wings of the small
birds
Folded in slumber.
Thou art the lover’s star! thou to his fond heart
Ecstacy bequeathes!; for, beneath thy soft ray,
Underneath the green trees, down by the riser, he
Waits for his fair one.
Thou to the sad heart beacon art of solace—
Kindly the mourner turns his gaze towards thee,
Past joys awakening, thou bid Ft him be of comfort,
Smiling in silence.
Star of the Mariner! when the dreary ocean
Welters around him, and the breeze is moaning,
Fondly he deems that thy bright eye is dwelling
On his home afar off:
On the dear cottage,where sit by the warm hearth,
Thinking of the absent, his wife and his dear babes,
In bis ear sounding, the hum of their voices
Steals like a zephyr.
farewell, thoe bright Star! when woe and anguish
Hung on my heart with a heavy and sad load,
When not a face on the changed earth was friendly,
Changeless didst tbou smile.
Soon shall the day come, soon shall the night flee,
Thou dost usher in darkness and daylight;
Glitter’st throngh the storm, and, mid the blare of
morning,
Melted in glory.
Thus through this dark earth holds on the good
man;
Misfortune and malice tarnhh not his glory;
Soon the goal is won, and the Aar of his being
Mingles with Heaven.
MISCELLANY.
RECOLLECTIONS and REFLECTIONS,
Personal and Political, as connected with Pub
lick Affairs, during the Reign of George 111.
By John Nicholls Esq. Member of Parliament,

author's OPPORTUNITIES.
George 11. difid suddenly about the close
of October, 1760. At that time I was near
ly sixteen years old; so that the active
part of my life has all been passed during
the reign of George 111.
My father was phvsician to George 11.
This circumstance led me to see in early
life, people who were about the Court. I
i casnot say that the nation much regretted
death ot George 11. During the last
K years of his reign the war against
trance bad been carried on with much suc
lif**’ was a: tributed to the energy
I Mr. Secretary Pitt, who was known to
Pe Minister against the wishes of the King.
K CUKE OF GRAFTON.
L The Duke of Grafton, who had been
made first Lord o/ the Treasury, wa9 cer
tainly a man of very feeble mind; he had
about him at that time a secretary of the
yiame of Thomas Bradshaw; and a mis
tress. formerly known by the name of Nan
cy Parsons, at that time bearing the name
of Mrs. Horton, afterwards Lady Maynard.
Those who wished to destroy the Earl of
administration, saw that they
,-sbould very much advance their designs if
o ’hey could separate the Duke of Grafton
im the Earl of Chatham : they had gain-
C oypver the Duke's secretary, Mr. Brad
a/ip; fcttt they could not corrupt his mis
/ins She had the sense to see that the
Yd, bvV honour required him to re.main firm
(forejis connexion with the Earl of Chat
iif sin. She had the sense to see this, and
tabe bad the integrity to tell him so. Her
‘influence for some time prevented the
Duke of Grafton from deserting the Earl of
Chatham. When this was seen, those who
wished the destruction of that Administra
tion changed the direction of their batte
ries; instead of using their efforts to sepa
rate the Duke of Grafton from the Earl of
Chatham, they employed them to separate
him from his mistress. In this th*y suc
ceeded, and married him to Miss Wrottes
ley, the niece of the Duchess of Bedford.
To separate him from the Earl of Chatham
was then-an easy task. Thus fell the Earl
of Chatham's administration ; and, I believe,
the Earl was never after in any publick of
fice.
THE AMERICAS WAR.
The zealous supporters of the American
War have thrown blame on the War Minis
ter, and the Generals who conducted it. In
this I think they have acted unjustly. 1 be
lieve that Lord George Germaine was as
able a War Minister as could have been
found; and the Generals employed were
myn of the first reputation. It always ap
peared to roetbat the design of compelling
the Americans to submit to be taxed by a
British Parliament, was a wild and absurd
project. The loose texture (if I may be
allowed the expression) of American pop
ulation, rendered the conquest of the coun
try impracticable. Wherever our army
appeared, the people sußmitted; but when
ever our army moved forward, the people
who bad submitted resumed their arms.
We never attempted more .than the con
quest of the eastern side of America; had
we succeeded in that, the war would have
still been continued by the inhabitants of
the back settlements ; and if tbe Americans
bad ultimately been subdued, what must
jlftve been the size of that army which
™inoseo^oforein^abisßSon7andcol*
FecS relenue? iWe no man now
L 5 maintain either the justice or the poh
"ofth* American contest: we a,-e come
*us opinion, although only the short
’space of thirty-si* years has elapsed since
the contest was relinquished. A century
hence, men will wonder how the people ot
England could hare been deluded to en
gage in it. ,
After the defeat and capture of Genera
Borgoyne at Saratoga, a friend of Lord
North said to him, “My Lord, you must
deceive yourself no longer j you most now
see that the whole population of America
is hostile to your designs.” Lord North
replied, “ I see that as clearly as you do;
and the king shall either consent to allow
me to assure the House of Commons, that
some means shall be fouod to put an end to
Bl'UlV llicauo Clinn mv svuuw f .
the war, or I will hot continue to be his min
ister.” I had this anecdote from a friend
with whom this conversation passed. Lord
North was no inconsiderable statesman;
he seems never to have been particularly
attentive to the promotion of his own per
sonal interests, and I have no donht that he
would have preferred to have pursued
those measures which be thought most
beneficial to his country ; but the place of
Prime Minister was pleasant to him, and he
persevered in the war four years longer.
THE KING AND LORD NORTH.
Let me here mention a little anecdote,
which I think does honour to Lord North ;
because it shows that he was sensible to
kindness. In the Spring of 1782, when
Lord North resigned, the King’s resent
ment against him was so strong, that he
meant to withhold the pension, usually
granted to a Prime Minister, on his retire
ment from office. The Chancellor, Lord
Thurlow, represented to the King, that
Lord North was not opulent; that his father
was still living; and that his son? bad spent
a great deal of money. The King answer
ed, “Lord North is no friend of mine ”
“ Th.it may be, Sir,” replied Lord Thnr
low, “ hut the world thinks otherwise; and
your Majesty's character requires, that
Lord North should have the usual pension.”
The pension was granted.
On the Coalition coming into office in
1783, Lord North accepted the employ
ment tff Secretary of State for the Home
Department. Charles Fox had determined
that Lord Thurlow should not retain the
great seal, and the King was obliged to
submit. Lord North, as Secretary of State
for the Home Department, received order
to write to Lord ThUrlow, signifying his
dismission from the post of Chancellor.
He refused to obey these orders, and as
signed this reason, “ When I retired from
office in 1782, Lord Thurlow was the man
who prevented my retreat from being in
convenient to me; shall the first act of my
return to office be to give Lord Thurlow
paio ? I will not do it.” Lord North’s re
fusal was sufficiently amusing to the King,
who had a right to say, “ While I keep
Secretaries 1 am not bound to write my
own letters.” Lord North persevered ;
and after a delay of several days, Charles
Fox, though it was not his department, was
obliged to write the letter.
FOX, PITT, AND BURKE.
A question is often asked, which was the
abler speaker in the House of Commons,
Mr. Pitt, or Mr. Fox? Their situations
were so different, that it is very difficult to
answer this question. Mr. Pitt was suppor
ted by a well disciplined majority, and his
eloquence was calculated to make his mea
sures plausible. He was a very correct
grammarian; but there was one talent
in which he surpassed every speaker I ever
heard. I mean the talent of building a
speech, and introducing the arguments of
his adversaries exactly in that place where
it best suited him to answer them. Mr.
Fox never built a speech; he relied on his
ability to seize weak parts of his adversa
ries arguments and beat them to pieces.
He did this with extraordinary skill and
success.
The style of a publick speaker must ne
cessarily depend on the audience which he
addresses, on the ends which he wishes to
obtain; perhaps in some degree on his own
personal situation. Considered in this
point of view, Lord North was certainly a
very good speaker. His pleasantry and
good temper were well suited to turn aside
the impetuous attacks of his adversaries.
To form a true opinion of Mr. Burke's
merit as a speaker, he also must be viewed
in the same manner. His importance de
pended on his standing high in the opinion
of that party which had placed him in the
House; for this reason, he always introdu
ced such passages as captivated admiration;
and though his speeches were often inju
dicious, and rarely had the effect of bring
ing others to think and act with him, ex
cept they were previously so disposed by
being of the same party, yet he never
made a speech in which there was not those
brilliant passages which the Roman authors
call Purpurei Panni. When he brought
forward the impeachment against Mr. Has
tings, he laid on the table of the Honse of
Commons twenty-two charges. 1 was un
der the necessity of examining those char
ges with attention. 1 think they were a
master-piece in that style cf comDosition
which Mr. Burke thought himself author
ized to use. They were a happy mixture
of assertion, of evidence, of inference, and
of invective, so dexterously blended, that
it was extremely difficult to unravel them j
but admirably suited to influence the opin
ions of those who read negligently.
Demosthenes is considered as the ablest
speaker of He addressed his
speeches to an audience highly intelligent,
and actuated by an opinion that the people
of Athens were entitled to hold the first
place among the Greek Republicks. The
same arguments, addressed to a British
House of Commons, would have appeared
ridiculous and contemptible,
the character which I
he riiipJeyod at the commencement of Me reign ;
that he wa* sober—temperate—of domestick ha
bits— addicted to no vice—ewayed by no passion.
The whole tenor of his life hes justified the im
pression which was first received of him. Those
who approached him formed another opinion ol
his character; in which, how ever, the event hna
shown, that they lieve been totally mistaken.
They thought that he was a weak man, and that
we should probably have a reign ol favouritism.
These ideas were entirtaincd even by sagacious
men; but they were conceived erroneously.
George 111. was not a weak man. His objects
were little, and injudiciously chosen; but no
monarch ever displaysd more dexterity in hi*
choice of means to obtain thus® ohjects. So far
from his lif* having been aoaign of favourititm,
he does not appeur ever to have entertained
kindness for any minister whom he employed,
except for the Earl of Bute: and after he found
that this nobleman wanted the courage necessary
for his purposes, he seems to have withdrawn all
his favour from him, and never more to have
wished to replace him in office.
The wish to be his own minister, and to exer
cise his power personally, was ttse leading feature
in George the Third’s character, through his
whole reign. It influenced hisdomestick, as well
as his political conduct. Theru does not appear
any interval in which this sentiment wa9 suspen
ded. The miseries occasioned by his reign have
all flowed from this source. Like other mon
archs, be was desirous of power. But it was not
the desire of becoming a military conqueror, or
even extending his dominion* It was little more
than the desire of appearing great in the eyes of
his pages and raids de cham.irt, that it might be
said, “ The King gave away such a bishoprick,”
pr “ appointed to such an eifflploy meat.” It was
the little object of a little naiad.
The reign of George ltf. has from its com
mencement exhibited a struggle between the
King’s persona) wishes and <he opinions of his os
tensible ministers. The two first wishes which
he seems to have entertained, were to break the
power of the Pelham fiction, and to restore
peace. These wishes wire judicious. But the
instrument he employed t> effectuate his objects,
was unfortunately chosei. The Earl of Bute
was not qualified to be a minister. He was re
moved ; and from the tine of his removal we
may date the establishment of the double cabinet;
viz. secret advisers and oitensible ministers.
During the interval of l ord Chatham’s abseuce
from the cabinet, the Kitg contrived to have the
question of taxing the American Cojonies again
brought forward. By playing man against man,
and faction against faction, he at length obtained
his wishes, and the American Colonies found
themselves reduced to the alternative of uncon
ditional submission, or explicit and avowed re
sistance; they chose the latter. While the King
was thus pursuing this otfject of reviving the dis
pute with America, he seems to have employed
that maxim of the politician, Divide eI impera ,
with much dexterity. The late Earl of Shelburne
told a friend of mine, that “ The King possessed
one-art beyond any man he had ever known ; for
that, by the familiarity of his intercourse, he ob
tained your confidence, procured from yo* your
opinion of different publick characters, and then
availed himself of this knowledge to sow dissen
sion.
The war began in 1775, and was continued for
tight years, when the King, much against his
wishes was compelled to relinquish the contest—
he was compelled to relinquish it, because he
could find no man who would consent to be the
oitensible minister for carrying cn the war. But
he still retained so strong a desire to continue the
contest, that he could not refrain from employing
his household troops to affront the Earl of Shel
burne, the minister who had made the peace.
The Earl of Shelburne would not submit to the
affront; he resigned, and the King found himsell
under the necessity of appoDting the Coalition
ists his ministers. These gentlemen came into
office strongly impressed with the opinion they
had formed of the king’s character; viz. that
nothing could induce him to relinquish the wish
he entertained of being his own minister. ! re
collect the answer which Mr. Fox made me when
I once put this question to him—“ Whether it was
not possible for him to conciliate the king?” He
replied, “ No, it is impossible; no man can gain
the King.’’ And I believe Mr. Fox's answer was
just.— London Monthly Magazine.
HENRY I. (CHRISTOPHE) EMPEROUR OF
HAYTI.
A more singular character than this mulatto
emperour has not appeared in the world for n,ny
centuries. Born a slave on the English island of
St. Christophers about the year 1766, he was. on
the capture of that island by the French, carried
to Cape Frangois, and there sold as a slave. His
master destined him for his cook, and he was
brought up accordingly, and is said to have ex
celled so much in his art as to have been head
cook at one of the most celebrated taverns at the
Cape. The revolution of Franoe extending to
St. Domingo, Christophe, like his brother blacks,
attained his liberty; and, being of an active dis
position and enterprising spirit, he became a lead
er,-.ad discovered some military talent, when
acfihjkjunder the celebrated Toniseant. The
princ”es of morality were no guides to him: he
had a command under general Le Clerc, and be
trayed him. .He acted under Dessalines, and on
his death seized the supreme power, and styled
himself,Henry, king of Hayti. Had he shewn the
same moderation as Petion and Boyer, be might
have ruled with honour, and died like the former,
universally lamented. But bis ferocious disposi
tion caused him to be dreaded, and in the end to
perish by his own hand. Like Buonaparte, every
thing must be military with him; he had been
well instructed in tacticks by the European offi
cers under whom he had served, and the military
post he has established shew his great judgment.
On the plains of the Cape he built a delightful re
treat, which he called Suns Soitci, and a town
round it, fortified by bulwarks and redoubts,
which shew he was conscious of the instability of
his power.
Yet if any thing could compensate in a king
for cruelty, Christophe may be regarded as a sov
ereign who attended to the welfare of bis subjects.
He placed schools on the system of Mr. Lancas
ter in every town, where male children were
taught both the French and the English
languages, and arithmetick. He administered
justice by some excellent regulations, and estab
lished an appeal to bis state council. But the
great amount of his army shew his military pen
chant. He kept on foot twenty regiments of in
fantry, two of cavalry, a large body f guards
most splendidly accoutred, and a regiment of
women, called the Amazons, of which his queen
was colonel. His court was gay, or rather taw
dry. Although possessed of s much power, and
so many of the blessings of life, he was conscious
that his cruelty bad gained him the hatred *f many
of his subjects, and he began to prepare to en
counter the daDger. He kept his army full, and
amassed great treasure; but his repeated acts of
tyranny caused a conspiracy to be formed against
him. On the 6th of Ooctqber. 1620, the insur
rection took place; and he them found that a ty
rant cannot depend even on his own army: they
deserted him ; he retired to Sans Souci, where,
to avoid falling into the. hands of his enemies, he
did justice on himself. When Buonaparte as
sumed the title of emperour, he did the same, and
seems to have attempted tp imitate him in many
other respects.
