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, die. 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. ’ ‘ [/6. Feb. I£2L City Hotel—Savannah.
