ODE TO THE NEW YEAR. LoWe has Belloua's thund'ring car Dispread the flames of guilty war; Long has she clank'd her scorpion thong, And whirl'd a madding world along. Year after year in gore is dy'd, And seas empurphd roll their tide; The sated earth is drench'd in blood, And rivers pour a fuller flood. Say, father Time when shall we see The world from these disasters free; When IIball the olive blossom bloom, And Peace her loug-lost sway resume I 0 favour'd by propitious skies, Young Janus, fraught with joys, arise! Let ev'ry sun that gilds the sphere See nature blessd with love sincere. In flowing India's spicy groves, The sable native sing nis love* Nor start to hear the blast of war, Borne on the e&ther from afar. Where Europe spreads her fertile fields, And plenty all her produce yields; Way ev'ry drooping art revive, J\ r:" rihs flow from commerce hive. 31 more let Calpe hear the roar, Of ound'rinfir cannon round her shore Her roek, as now, for ever stand, The pride, the glory of our laud. T "n^'th' Atlantic's liquid plain, Where heaven bids native Freedom reign, lie heard no more the warrior's groan, Toe patriot's sigh, the parent's xloan From where blest Titan shews his head, To wiiei-e lie seeks liis western bed, Resound the trumpet's voice no more, Nor navies dread a hostile shore. Let sociallove's unbounded stream, And easy quiet's gentle dream, And public honour, strong and warm, Still each heart, and spread each charm. So shalt transport fill the sonl, t- nd rritc1 affection bind the whole So shall science bloom anew, Aod kindness drop like morning dew. go shal I ev'ry ol i me be known, An'1 e v'ry nation seem our own; So shall Virtue ever die, Bat weti liie plaudit of the sky., 0.

TME TYkOLESE. HOFFER. Biographical account of Andreas TToifer, the brave and loyal Commander of the Ty- volese. Andreas Hoffer is a native of Sand,the princi- pal town in the valley of Passeyr,and,from the place of his residence, has received the appella- tion ofSandwirth, which is as much as to say,the inn-keeper of Sand. He is thirty-eight years of age, tall and robust, and has from his youth worn a long beard, according to the custom of that part of the country. His religious deportment, his virto-ous ex- ample, the uncommon acuteness and depth of his understanding, for a man who has not en- joyed the advantages of a liberal education, together with his modesty and integrity, early procured him the esteem of all the inhabi- tants of bis valley, about 12,000 in number, among whom he was appointed to fill an office which nearly answers to that of a ma- gistrate, or country justice. In this situation he acquired, in the highest degree, the love and respect of his countrymen. Whenever the danger of hostile incursions threatened his native lànd, Hoffer was always at the head of the brave inhabitants of his valley, as their commander I and in all the actions that took place, he signalised himself equally by his courage and sagacity. He is, besides, ac- counted one of the best riflemen in the Tyrol; and in every engagement, whether he be on y t, foot or on horseback, he is sure to carry with him his favourite weapon. Hoffer, as a man who loved and esteemed religion, his country, its laws, and the privi- leges obtained by victory, perceived but too clearly that his already impoverished country could not possibly exist under the yoke of France and Bavaria, and repaired three times to Vienna, to the Emperor of Austria, and the Princes Charles and John, to seek assist. ance, and to ascertain whether Austria was not again disposed to go to war with its ty- rants in hopes that, on this occasion, the oppressed TyroJese, who were still warmly at- tached to the House of Austria, might be able to shake off* the yoke. Neither were these hopes entirely disappointed: he returned, and waited with anxiety for the commencement of a new war. The long-expected day al length approached; and Hotter, with two of his most intimate friends and companions in arms, concerted a plan for attacking the French and Bavarian troops, who then occu- pied the country. It was agreed, that the signal for a general attack on the enemy, amounting in number to 27,000, should he given, by saw-dust thrown into the Inn, the •uiiicipal river, which run# through a great part of the country of Tyrol. In all (lie places along tire Inn, where there were persons to whom the secret had been confided, the meaning of the saw-dust was perfectly under- stood they instantly hastened to ring the alarm-bells, in order to collect the inhabi- tants of the districts and vallies situated at a greater distance from the Inn, to form them into corps, and to attack and cut in pieces the en -my, wherever he appeared. Complete success crowned this heroic enterprise: In this affair, as well as in several other vic- tories and engn-lements. especially that near Tnnspruck, when Iheenensy sustained a total defeat and also the taking of Trent, of which the brave Imperial Colonel, Count von Lein- ingen, would not have been able to make himself master, without the assistance of Hoffer and his companions in arms the latter acquired the confidence of h'cmintrymen in such a degree, that he was not only acknow. ledged as Commandant of Passeyr, as he was then caHed and subscribed himself, but as the Commander-in-Chief of the whole country. Hoffer keeps his head-quarters in the centre of 'I'yrof and according to circumstances, occasionally dismisses his comrades to their homes confident that, when he has occasion for them, they will return at the slightest no- tice. He always hastens with them, wherever the danger is most pressing, to oppose, And, as usual, to conquer the enemy. In short, not a single engagement in whkh H-otfer has com- manded, has yet terminated to the disadvan- tage of the Tyrolese he seems destined by Providence to check the destructive career of at blood-thirsty enemy. Had not Hotter 8 achievements exhibited him to the world as a character worthy of ad- ntiratioii, stiil the gold medal of honour, and the cross of the order of Maria Theresa, con- ferred on him by his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, at different periods, would sufficiently attest his merits; as those honourable dis- tinctions are given only, to such as have par- ticularly sigualized themselves, or rendered eminent services to the state.

SCHONECHER. Biography of John George Schmecher, one of the Deputies from the lyrolcse to the Bri- tish Government. John George Schonecher, thirty-eight years of age, is a native of Innspruck, the capital of the Tyrol, where he also resides, and carries on a considerable trade in the productions of the country with Vienna and Hungary and is also a proprietor of a great number of ves- setfr on the rivers of these countries. From his extensive connections in the vici- nity of Innspruck, and along: the whole of the river Inn, Schoncelier possesses the confi- deuce of the people in general. He was en- gaged in all the actions with the enemy, and displayed the, highest degree of patriotic zeal and intrepidity; but he particularly distin- gu ished b imself in the campaign of the present year, and was wounded as command ing oflicer on the inn. In this capacity he proceeded, by water, with the troops under his orders, to within five hours' march of Munich, having formed a well-digested plan for seizing the King of Bavaria and his family, and carrying them off as prisoners to the Tyrol. This pro- ject he would have infalliably executed, had not the columns, advancing by land and water to Munich, received orders to return as speedily as possible, on account of the armis- tice concluded between the two armies; asthe Commanders of those columns were informed that Tyrol was included in its provisions, and were unwilling to incur the censure of disobe- dience to his Majesty the Emperor of Austria. Schonecher has alto commanded the levy. on-maws* in several actions, and done cousi- derable mischief to the enemy. He has likewise been appointed Deputy from the Tyrol, to transact various concerns abroad; and, among other important com- missions, has been charged by his countrymen in conjunction with Major Muller, to lay be- fore the British Government the distresses of their countrytiteu.

MULLER. Biography of JUajor Muller, one of the Depu- ties sent by the Tyrolese to theBritish Go- vernment. Major Muller, thirty-three years of age, is the son of a lawyer of Pludenz, in Voralberg, whose family has been respectable for ages-- Contrary to the wishea of his father, he mani- fested from his infanc.y a strong predilection for a military life, and entered, when very youngs into the Austrian servicei in which he has, since the y ear 1799, made several cam- paigns, as an officer, to the satisfaction of his superiors, and was twice wounded. On the cession of Voralberg to Bavaria, he quitted the military profession, and prepared j to pass the remainder of bis life in peace and repose, in his native country, and in the bosom of his family. li-c was, nevertheless, prevail- ed upon to accept the rank of Captain in the militia, on the general establishment of that system in Bavaria. In this capacity, and as Commandant of a division, he superintended the training of his countrymen* and soon perceived, that they would assiduously devote their attention to the acquirement of military knowledge, if their arms were to be employed in favour of Austria, and not, as was the ob- ject of Bavaria, against their former sovereign. As Major Muller now became intimately ac- qllaintcd with the sentiments of his fellow- citizens, and could rely on their integrity and silence, he advised them to make themselves as perfect as possible in the rudiments of the military art as a tima might soon arrive, in which this proficiency might not only prove advantageous, but contribute greatly to the deliverance of their country from the Gallo- Bavarian yoke. This period fortunately did arrive, on the breaking out of the late war; and Major Muller, as a zealous adherent to the cause of justice, who felt deeply interested in behalf of religion, his native land, his ancient sove- reign, and the former happy constitution oi the country, perceived that, 011 the actual commencement of hostilit ies, hcllOuld have to act an important part, to which he was called, not only by his birth and qualiifcations but also by the confidence and love of his op- pressed fellow citizens, in order to release his almost ruined country from the fetters of slavery, which Bavaria had so strongly rivet- ted. The Major was the person who proceeded to Tyrol, to concert in Nvlltt manner this re- lease should be effected and after the proper measures had been agreed upon, he returned, with astonishing expedition, to organize the insurrection in which he was admirably se- conded by his fellow-citizens, whom he had trained to the use of arms. Placing himself at the head of his courageous and patriotic bands, he not onlv repulsed the impetuous attack of some of the best disciplined troops of Europe, provided with ti-tillei-y and canl. ry, of both of which lie was totaliy destitute, after an obstinate-engagement of four hours, near ITolieticiiis; but drove them, on the same day, with great slaughter, from their positions, and out of his country, to the very drawbridges and gates of Lindaiii His native laud hieing now cleared of the enemy, Major Muller took the necessary pre- cautions, to secure the passes and positions, and to restore the communication with the Tyrolese, by way of Weiller Imenstat to Knutty. As the enemy, who had totally ex- hausted the country, knew that the patriotic insurgents were in want of every thing, but particularly ammunition and money, he gave them no time to supply in any manner, the deficiency of these essential requisites for car- rying on war, but furiously attacked them on all points with a far superior force* The en gagement lasted from early in the morning till night; and in spite of the delierate,at- tacks of the enemy, supported by artillery antI cavalry, the Major and his brave compa- nions came off victorious- As these gallant defenders of their country displayed such courage and intrepidity in these two affairs, and became accustomed to military operations, Major Muller resolved, in conjunction with two of his most intimate friends, who had been with him appointed Counsellors of War by the Emperor of Aus- tria, to make an incursion into the contiguous provinces of Suabia. This expedition was undertaken both by land and water. By land the brave Voralbergers made themselves mas- ters of Kempten, Isny, and Wangen i and by water, of the city of Constance, after an ob- stinate conflict. The enemy, however, began to attack them with a, far superior force, afid especially with cavalry, which was the more dangerous in sueh an open country as Suabia. Accordingly they had no other alternative than to retire in good order, after disarming the three above-mentioned towns, and taking with them from Constance, six pieces of can- non and two ammunition waggons, some hun- dreds of prisoners, 360 sacks of corn, and a quantity of wine. The want of lead was so great, as to oblige w t3 them to have recourse to that belonging to the windows* and persons were employed to go from house to house, to collect the old lead. The Voralbergers likewise conceived the idea of making wooden cannon but as these would at most last for only eightor ten discharges, all the metals in the country were put in requisition. The bells were also taken from the Steepler of the churches and chapels, and with these they foanded cannon and howitzers, which they bored with such skill, that they are not inferior to any others. While Major Muller and his gallant com- panions were thus engaged, they received promises of succours, in ammunition, money, cavalry, and artillery but these expectations were not destined to be realized. In this manner they waited four months, till they received intelligence of ihe unfortunate truce concluded by the Austrian army. To this news, however, nobody would give credit; and for this reason, Major Muller was deputed to the Austrian head-quarters, to ascertain whether it was correct or not. Scarcely had he fulfilled thi. mission* when he was ap-

pointed to another, of still greater importance, and dispatched, in conjunction with Scho- necher, to England, to solicit the succour of the British nation, for his gallantcountrymen. We shall be happy to understand, that the appeal has not been made in vain.

SELECTIONS. MOSAIC PAVEMENT.—The word Mosaic is a corruption of. and should more properly be ckiled, Musaic paving or painting, notas being invented by Moses, for which we have no authority, but being solely used and ap- propriated for those small and elegant tem- ples, or apartments, termed by the ancients, Museums, as consecrated to the Muses. The finest specimens of Musaic paving in England are in the British Museum, and at the Indie House; the former found in exca- vating for the foundation of the Bank of England, and presented by the Governor and Company (If that opulent establishment, to our National M useum i and the latter found in Leadenhall street, an engraving of which is published.—There were also some fine ones discovered at Bath. Musaic work, doubtless, originated in the East, aod is either the type, or the follower, of their rich carpets. From the Orientals, the Romans acquired the art, and executed some considerable works in this style. In the cupola of St. Peter, in the Va- tican of Rome, are executed, in Musaic, four of the fathers of the church, after paintings by Lanfranc, Saceni, Komanelli, and Pelle- grin *i.-Aiiioiig the other celebrated pictures that have been copied 411 Musaic, are the Mar- tyrdom of St. Patronillo, after Guercino, in the same church 5 and the Sacrament of St. Jerome, by Domenichino, in the church of St. Gitolamo deHa Carita at Rome, the ori- ginal of which is in the Napoleon Museum at Paris. Many of the finest pictures of Raffaelle have been thus copied; and in the Borghesian palace at Home are six tine Musaics, repre- senting Orpheus, surrounded by animals, and supposed to be composed of above nine thou- sand pieces. The Musaics, that are in the palace of the Grand Duke at Florence, are reckoned the finest in the world.-Sir Christ- ophcr Wren wished the paintings in the dome of St. Paul's to have been thus executed; but lie was over-ruled. Had he succeeded, we should not, at this very early day after their execution, have been lamenting their destruc- tion, which is fast approaching; they are now falling off, and, in a few years, it is 11 probable (if no preventatives are adopted), not a vestige of them will be left behind. The following singular anecdote may be considered as the climax of commercial ad- venture, in as much as it shews that recourse can be had to the dead to impose on the liv- ing One of the tribe of Israel imported from the plains of Wagram, and the pestilential marshes of Walcheren, a number of teeth, extracted from dead bodies.- Moses, alive to the spirit of speculation, made a difference of price between the tooth of an Austrian and that of an Englishman. The French being nt war with England, he professed not to have imported anv whatever from that nation. On Sunday hist, the ceremony of the tenure by which the Curacy of Paddington holds certain lands, was performed, by throwing a quantity of bread and cheese over the church, together with a proportionabie quantity of bread, cheese, and coals, delivered to the poor, which was witnessed by hundreds of spectators. Charles Oakeley-, Esq. hIs Majesty's Secre- tary of Legation to America, and eon of Sir diaries Oakeley, Bart. of Shrewsbury, arriv- ed in London in the early part of last week. It is said he is couie home for the express purpose of explaining to Ministers the causes which have led to the rupture of the nego- tiation between the American Government and Mr. Jackson.—There is no truth in the reports so officiously circulated, of the mar riage of Mr. Oakeley to Miss Patterson, of Baltimore. Lord urenvule has intimated his intention of adding a third prize to the two which were before given by the Chancellor of the Univer- sity of Oxford. This prize, we understand, will be for the best composition in Latin prose. His Lordship is to be invested with the office of Chancellor, before a Convocation at his house in London, on the 8th or 10th instant. The Degree of Doctor in Civil Law, was last week conferred on his Lordship by diploma. Lon,-ei,ity.-Oti the 210t ult. an inhabitant of Chowbent, completing his 76th year, in. vited upwards of thirty of the oldest men of the village to partake of adiuuer at the Bear'- Paw lun twenty-five of whose ages amount- ed to 2,027 years.—On the same day, two other inhabitants of that place dined twenty of the oldest women, at the King's Head lnu, twelve of whose ages amounted to 1,022 making together, 3,049 years.—When the population of Chowbent is considered, (not exceeding 3000) these, it is presumed, will be considered as rare instances of longevity as any on record. The following curious circumstance hap- pened at the Golden Bear Inn, at Reading, some years ago. A young fox bad been tali-lit to be in a wheel aud turn the jack. After aome time he escaped, and regained his native fields. Here he met the fate common to his species; he was pursued by the hounds, and in his flight ran through the town of Reading, and, springing over a hall door of a kitchen, jumped into the wheel, and re- sumed his occupation in the very plat e where he had been formerly brought up, aud thus saved his life. An extraordinary circumstance occurred, a few days ago, at Beddington-corner, near LIE Mitcham, in Surrey. An elderly w. nian drop- ped down dead, aud fell into a ditch. A Coroner's Inquest was helI, and a verdict given-died by the visitation <f (,od. She was buried at Beddington Church t and one of the men who assisted in carrying the body to the ground Oil his return home from tiie funeral, found himself ill, aud dropped down dead, at the same spot where the woman died. Pursuant to the sentence of death, passed upon him by a Court Martial for an abomi- nable offence, Mr. iSiehemiah Taylor was yes terday morning executed on b^ard his Ma- jesty's ship Jamaica, at Portsmouth. Mr. BeUy. the father of the celebrated Young Roscius, has purchased a valuable Es- tate near Shrewsbury, ukeii which he new re- sides. Profane Swearing.—We copy the following ¡ article from The Argus of Western America. a democratic paper printed at Frankfort (Ken.) on the 21st October.—the same paper adds, that both the persons presented are de- mocratic lawyers. We of the Grand Jury empannelled, &c. for the Circuit of Shelby, in the name and by the authority of the commonwealth of Kentucky, upon our oaths do present Isham Talbot, Esq, for prophane cursing on the 19th day of Septem- ber, 1809, in the town of Shelbyville, before the door of Isaac Watkins' tavern, usiag the words v —" God damn Mr. Jackson, the President ought to dismiss him, and to have him kick'd from town to town, until lie is kicked out of the coun- try; nod damn him."—Contrary, &c. I We also present W. W. Cook, Esq. for profane cursing, on the, &c. ia the town of f Shelbyville, before the door of fsaac Watkins'' tavern, using the words—" <!od damn Timothy Pickerin,g--he ought to be hung."—Contrary to ■ the. Act of Assembly. Extract, &c. J. CRAIG, Clerk." A quantity of guineas, half-guineas, and seven shilling- pieces, were seized last week in the port of Lynn,by the Tide-Surveyor, ready; packed for sending abroad. Z, Saturday, at the Mansion House, a Jew, of the name of De Younge, was charged by the Solicitor of the Mint, under an Act of Queen Elizabeth, with the offence of selling the cur- rent coin of the realm. It appeared that the prisoner had sold 56 guiiieas, for a sum amounting to 22s. 6d. each, or Is. 6d. for each | guinea more than the legal price and current value. The prisoner was fully committed to take his trial. Yesterday, while a countryman was stand- ing in Fleet street, admiring the fascinating z, figures placed on the outside of St. Dunstan's Church, with a basket hung on a stick over his shoulders, some one contrived to lighten his burden, by easing him of a parcel, contain- ing two pounds of tea, a new shirt, and a china tea-pot, whose spout having been acci- dentally fractured, he had just had replaced by a silver one. He deeply regretted the loss of his tea-pot, which, he- said was afamify piece, having belonged to his grandmother. The following instance of the mildness of the season, may he depended on as a fact.- The hostler of the Marquis of Granby public house, at Thames Ditton, on Sunday morning found a magpie's nest, containing two eggs; when the nest was discovered, the.oid bird was silting. In many particulars there appears a simi- larity in the ancient customs of Ireland and of Wales; in the royal household, amongst the ancient Welsh, "the Judge of the lialace" (the court in which this Judge presided, was the principal court in Wales) among other presents received the tongues of all theafi- malsslaughtered for the household this pecu- liar and remarkale custom may possibly receive explanation from the present given to the officer called" Watchman of the Palace," who guarded the King's person whi1.e he slept; to him were given, as symbols of his duty, the eyes of all animals slaughtered for the use of theonlare kitchen—There is, in the old Irish Histories, mention of like customs in the courts of some of the petty Princes or Caciques. It should, however, be observed, that these symbols carried a signification of suitable gravity for, an unjust sentence was followed by deprivation of office, and loss of tongue, and so, a want of due vigilauce iu the Iloyal Watchman." Ptfice^—Row-Street.—Yesterday morning was brought to the office, in the custody of Adkins, Anthony, and Harry Adkins, Richard iVright, alias Black Dick, a most desperate and well known character, charged before Mr. Read, on suspicion of having committed divers felonies in different parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland but the charges that are particularly alledged against him are, being concerned with Stockton nd Edwards, who were apprehended by Adkins, a few months since, iu Liverpool, for breaking open and robbing the Whitehaven Bank. of notes t5 to the amount of 14,000/ and for which they were executed about a month ago at Carlisle, and for which a true bill was found against the prisouer at the last Assizes for the county of Cumberland. The prisoner is also charged with his brother William Wright, about two months ago, in the robbery of Messrs. Crosby and Wright's warehouse, at Westbury, in Wiltshire, of cloth to the amount of about 9001. for which he was apprehended with his brother Wjlliam, and a man of the name of Lee, at the Black Lion, at Exeter, from which place the prisoner made his escape, hy letting himself down by the bed clothes, with only his shirt oil he however, took care to have withhim his share of the money he bad re- ceived, for the sale, of the cloth they had sold to a man of the name of Lloyd, which he ac- complished by securing it in a handkerchief, and tying it round ius head; and he contrived to escape out of that county, by prevailing on a cottager to go and purchase him some clothes, and accounted for his state by saying he had just escaped from a press-gang. I11- formation being sent to the Office, that th* prisoner, and his companions were travelijiVJ; as hawkers and jiediats with a cart, in Lnij* cashire, Adkios had no doubt but he \as the man he wanted, and he has been it: dilj&ent pursuit of him ever since. Oil Sunday hft traced him to the neighbourhood of the Kent road, and about haif-past three o'clock h. saw him walking with two other persons* near the Bricklayer's: Arms Adftins knowing him to be élviolOllt character, behaving been heard to say, he would not be take:! without committing murder, contrived to get behini the prisoner, and seized'him by his arms, and* held him in thai state till Anthony and Harry Adkins came to take charge of him. AdkioS, then went after the ivvo persons who were ill. his company, who-had- made off, suspecting them to have some of the stolen property* In the mean time, the prisoner made a despe- rate • -ffort to escape, or to get his hands to his breeches pockets. Adkins returned it-ii- mediately to their assistance, and beat liina violently over his leg? with a large slick, till he agreed to surrender and go quietly. On searching him, two primed and loaded pistols u were found in his breeches pockets, which. there is every reason to believe he would haves discharged at the officers, if he could have got at them. He was committed for further exaisiirwtio2* uest Monday.
