THE CURATE.—A FRAGMENT. By the late Rev. THOMAS PENROSE. O'ER the pale embers of a-dying fire, His little lampe fed with but little oile, The Curate sat (for scantie was his hire) And ruminated sad the morrow's toil. 'Twas Sunday's eye, meet season to prepare The stated labours of the coming tyde No day of rest to him-but day of care At raanie a church to preach with tedious ride. Before him sprede his various sern-ions lay, Of explanation deepe, and sage advice The harvest gain'd from many a thoughtful daye, The fruit of learninge, bought with heavy price. On these he cast a fond but tearful eye Awhile he paus'd, for sorrowe stopp'd his throte Arrous'd at lengthe, he heav'd a bitter sighe, And thus complainde, as well indeed he mote :— Hard is the scholar's lot, condemn'd to sail Unpatroniz'd o'er life's tempestuous wave Clouds blind his sight, nor blows a friendly gale, To waft him to one port-except the grave. Big with presumptive hope, I launch'd my keele With youthful ardour and bright science frauglite, Unanxious of the pains long doom'd to feel, Unthinking that the voyage might end in noughte. '1 Pleas'd on the summer sea I daunc'd awhile With gay companions, and with views as fair; Outstripp'd by these, I am left to humble toil, My fondest hope abandon'd in despair. Had my ambitious mind been led to rise To highest flights, to Crosier and to Pall, Scarce could I mourn the missinge of the prize, For soaringe wishes well deserve their fall. No tow'ringe thoughts like these engag'd my breast I hop'd (nor blame, ye proud, the lowly plan) Some little cove, some parsonage of rest, The schcme of duty suited to the man Where, in my narrow sphere secure, at ease, From vile dependence free, I might remain, The guide to good, the counsellor of peace, The friend, the shepherd of the village swain. Yet cruel fate denied the small request, And bound me fast in one ill-omen'd hour Beyond the chance of remedie, to reste The slave of wealthie pride and priestlie pow'r. Oft as in russet weeds I scour along, In distant chappels hastilie to pray By nod scarce notic'd of the passing thronge 'Tis but the Curate, every cJÚldc will say. Not circumscrib'd in dignitie alone, Do I my rich superior's vassal ride Sad penurie, as was in cottage known, With all its frowns, does o'er my roof preside. Ah not for me the harvest yields its store, The bough-crown'd shock in vain attracts mine eye To labour doom'd, and destin'd to be poor, I pass the field, I hope not envious by. When at the altar surplice-clad I stand, The bridegroom's joy draws forth the golden fee The gift I take, but dare not close my hand, The splendid present centres not in me." Ccctera desunt.

VOLUNTEERS. Copy of a circular letter from Mr. Secretary Yorke to the Lieutenants in the several counties in Great Britain My Lord, Whitehall, Jan. 14, 1804. His Majesty's confidential servants have thought it to be their duty, on further considering the im- Z, provements of which the volunteer system is capa- ble, to extend to it every useful aid and assistance which it can receive, consistent with a due atten- tion to that principle of economy on which the whole system is founded, and have resolved to allow of Adjutants and Serjeant-Majors on permanent pay to corps of the different descriptions of force, con- sisting of the following numbers, without any z' ether conditions or restrictions than such as may be applicable to the whole volunteer establish- ment. CAVALRY.—To every corps, consisting of not less than 300 effective rank and file of cavalry, and ad- jutant on permanent pay will be allowed.- [Pay when not called out into actual service, 6s. per day, 2s. ditto for a horse.j To every corps of cavalry under 300 rank and file, but consisting of not less than three troops of 40 effective rank and file each, a Serjeant- Major will be allowed on permanent pay.— [Pay when not called out into actual service, 3s. nd. per day, including gd. for a horse.] INFANTRY. — To every corps of infantry (in- cluding artillery) consisting of not less than 500 effective rank and file, one Adjutant, and one Ser- geant-Major, on permanent pay, will be allowed.- [Pay when not called out into actual service, 6s. per day ditto of Serjeant-Major, ditto is. 6d. per day, and 2S. 6d. per week extra.] To every corps of infantry, consisting of not less than 300 effective rank and file, one Adjutant, but no Serjeant-Major, will be allowed on permanent pay.- [Pay, 6s. per day, as above.] To a corps of infantry, under 300 effective rank and file, but consisting of not less than three com- panies of 60 privates each, one Serjeant-Major will be allowed on permanent pay.- [Pay as above, is. 6d. per day, and 2s. 6d. per week extra.] When the corps to which the Adjutants and Serjeant-Majors are appointed shall be called out on actual service by competent authority, these staff-officers will receive the pay of their respec- tive ranks, as in the line. The Adjutants are to be recommended by the Lords Lieutenants, for his Majesty's approbation, in the usual manner; but no recommendation of an Adjutant can be attended to, unless the person recommended has served at least four years as a commissioned officer, or as a Serjeant-Major in the Regulars, embodied Militia, Fencibles, or East India Company's service and the recommenda- I tion must likewise distinctly express the actual period of the service of the person recommended, and specify the particular corps in which that service was performed. Serjeant-Majors may be appointed by the Com- mandant of the corps, from among persons who have served at least three years as non-commis- sioned officers in his Majesty's Regular, embodied Militia, or Fencible forces; and the period of such service, and the particular corps in which it was performed, are to be distinctly specified in the first pay list which shall be transmitted to the War-office, after the appointment takes place. All Adjutants and Serjeant-Majors, who are placed on permanent pay, are to consider them- selves as, at all times, at the disposal, and under the commanding-officer of the corps for the time being, and are expected to give their attendance whenever required, for the drill, good order, and management of the corps. It is not intended by this arrangement, to make any alteration as to the appointment of Adjutants or Serjeant-Majors without pay. They will still be allowed to corps of sufficient strength, as directed by the Militia laws, and as before pointed out by the War-office regulations of the 28th of Septem- ber, 1803. # DOCKS, CANALS, &c. Amidst the warfare in which we are now engaged for our preservation and existence as a nation, it is matter of exultation and self-confidence to reflect, that the most considerable and most important of our public works suffer, comparatively speaking, but little interruption. A scarcity of hands will naturally rather retard the completion of them, and such materials as are wanted must be pur- chased at an increased price, particularly the arti- cles of timber and bricks. THE WEST INDIA DOCKS, occupying a surface of thirty acres for unloading all vessels coming from the West-India Islands and Colonies, have been completed some time since, and there is now suffi- cient accommodation in the substantial and exten- sive stacks of warehouses for such merchants as wish to bond or to house their commodities within the walls, unexposed to fire or plunder, as no lights are suffered at any time, nor any person allowed to remain on board, or within the walls after dark. The excavation of the Dock for loading, which is to occupy twenty-four acres, is proceeding in with great spirit-in the mean while, it is highly gra- tifying to the subscribers, and encouraging to these grand national undertakings, to find that the profits warrant a dividend of ten per cent. on the sums al- ready subscribed, and which the subscribers have begun to receive. THE LONDON DOCK, forming in Wapping, for the accommodation of shipping bringing wines, spirits, rice, and tobacco, and for the whole trade of the port (West and East-India shipping excepted) of such as choose to avail themselves thereof, are in a very advanced state of forwardness, and there is every reason to believe that the Dock of Imports will be ready to receive vessels in the course of the ensu- ing sumner. Immense warehouses are forming, and in particular, a most supendous stack for housing bonded tobacco, which Government are to rent, besides giving every encouragement in their power to the concern, with a view to the security and increase of the public revenue, and to the safety and dispatch of the property of the merchant. THE EAST INDIA DOCK, for the use of the East- India shipping exclusively, is as yet in a state of infancy. The Dock Company have purchased Messrs. Perry's and Well's Wet Dock, for the pur- pose of forming part of the Dock for loading out- wards; and the Dock for unloading is excavating with all possible dispatch, on a site or marsh above, and is to occupy a surface of about eighteen acres, and likely to be completed in the spring of next year. The capital subscribed is 200,0001., there are thirteen directors, of which four must always be directors of the East-India Company. COMMERCIAL ROAD.-In addition to the immense accommodations to trade, a wide road, called the Commercial Road, is nearly paved and finished, commencing at the north-west corner of the West- India Dock, and coming out into Whitechapel, near Aldgate. This road has been used since the opening of the West-India Dock, and the tolls re- cieve weekly from 701. to 801. and are daily in- creasing, and with the profits of houses and lands purchased by the trust, and let, will very shortly yield the subscribers their limited ten per cent. profit on the capital of 50,0001. subscribed.-The road is intended to be carried on to the East- India Dock, and to communicate with the London Dock. THE GRAND JUNCTION CANAL, a concern of im- mense importance to the commerce of the coun- try, is now pretty well known to the public.— They have lately experienced some impediment from the drought during the summer but on the other hand, it has enabled them to repair and cleanse the bottom in some parts where it wanted. The sum subscribed for this concern is about 1,350,0001. and when the tunnel and acqueduct at Blesworth are completed, which, it is expected, will be so at the end of this year, this immense undertaking will be considered as quite complete, and well supplied with water, without interrup- tion then the subscribers will begin to look for- ward for a rapid increase of their dividends, which there can be no manner of doubt will very happily remunerate them for their long patience and spirit of perseverance, in assisting a work of this national consequence. IRELAND.-Works of inland improvement pro- ceeding, in many instances without interruption from the war, are giving every day new facilities to internal trade, 500,0001. were granted in the last session of Parliament to the Directors of Inland Navigation in Ireland. Of this sum 22,6691. 5s. 6d. have been issued to the Royal Canal Company, for the completion of a canal from Dublin to Cool- nahay, in Westmeath, for the execution of certain works at Dublin, and adjoining to the LiNey and for the reduction of the tollson that whole naviga- tion 22,8901. us. od. have been issued, upon con- tract for improvements and the reduction of tolls, to the Barrow Navigation Company. Other small- er sums have been expended upon surveys; and, in general, the progress of canal improvement is, by the effect of the grant, now exceedingly active in Ireland. What a splendid contrasfdo these proved facts furnish to the condition of our enemy. France is driven to acts of unqualified robbery, to collect the momentary means for carrying on the war— her army is unpaid, and held to its obedience by the hope of plunder-her commerce is annihilated -she has now no trade but that of murder and rapine—while in England, the confidence and the wealth of the people are such, that after every sa- crifice which the safety of the empire demands, we find millions embarked,in commercial specu- lations. A SUMMARY Of the most prominent Pditical Occurrences of the Year 1803. Though the year 1803 commenced, to all ap- pearances, in a manner prophetic of a long and uninterrupted tranquillity, even appearances did not continue in this situation long for January had scarcely elapsed before a spirit of suspicion and distrust began to manifest itself in the Cabi- net of London, nor was it groundless, as a sub- sequent discovery has most openly demonstrated; for, during that period in which a peace and friend- ship were supposed to exist between the two na- tions, the Consular Government, ever eager to embrace projects of a clandestine nature, let no opportunity escape of gradually sapping the foun- dation of our political security for this sole pur- pose then, under the cloak' of officiality, were those persons who so undeservedly assumed the title of commercial agents, dispersed in every con- siderable port of the united kingdom, who (as it was afterwards ascertained) had procured sound- ings of the different ports, and accurate charts of almost every part of the coast, professedly for the object of aiding the plan of invasion even at that time most probably in embryo. It is also not un- worthy of remark, that at the very time when those mercenary tools of Bonaparte, the commer- cial agents, were so zealously engaged in the fulfil- ment of their secret missions, other hirelings of his were no less actively employed in resuscitating the dying embers of rebellion among the misguided and infatuated inhabitants of our sister kingdom, thus rendering a peace auxiliary to all the mean and ungenerous artifices of acknowledged hostility. While the means of thus invalidating and final- ly subverting the security of these dominions were prosecuted with all possible vigour and secrecy by the Consular Government, no opportunity was lost of encreasing the military and naval force which was then actually more formidable than the war establishment previoa- to the treaty of A- miens, assigning at the same time no plausible rea- son for a measure so evidently demonstrative of an hostile intention, so contrary to the accustom- ed conduct of nations in a time even of sup- posed peace this proceeding carried a greater de- gree of importance with it, as our forces were at that time reduced to a number far below our usual peace-establishment, and, as it was but natural to expect, arrested the most serious attention of the English Government, by whom it was very pru- dently deemed advisable to take immediate mea- sures for the support of the honour of the British Empire against a conduct so openly treacherous. A message was accordingly sent by his Majesty to both Houses of Parliament, intimating in the most forcible manner his doubts of the sincerity of the French Nation, and recommending every possible exertion for counteracting their inten- tions, at the same time acquainting them of a cor- respondence having taken place between the two countries on the subject. So unexpected a mes- sage from the throne after so short a peace, created in the mind of the public no little degree of sur- prise, and was considered as nothing less than a prelude to more serious events; nor was this opi- nion at all diminished by the accounts which were soon after received of the contumelious and haughty behaviour of the Chief Consul to Lord Whitworth, our Ambassador at the Consular Court: a conduct that betrayed in the strongest light the mean and ungovernable temper of the Ruler of France, and afforded to the English Am- bassador a most illustrious opportunity of dis- playing that noble and elevated greatness so pe- culiarly characteristic of himself and his country. These repeated insults and aggressions on the part of France acquiring daily audacity, very na- turally provoked the indignation of Great Britain and, as no attention has b^en paid to the frequent and urgent remonstrances of the British Court, terms were at length proposed by the latter for the accession of France, founded principally on the restitution of some colonies ceded to her by the treaty of Amiens, and on the emancipation of Holland and Switzerland, with some others of inferior importance with these terms the Consu- lar Government obstinately refused to comply, at the same time presumptuously menacing the inva- sion of this island, if a recommencement of hosti- lities was to be the result. No alternative was now left-the English Ambassador was consequently recalled, and war declared by his Britannic Ma- jesty, the only means remaining of ensuring the independence of our kingdom, to which such an- other peace as that obtained by the treaty of A- miens, would be far more dangerous than the most bloody and inveterate hostility. Scarcely had this new and serious change in the politics of Europe taken place, when an order was issued in France for the immediate detention of all Englishmen who might then be in that country, by which means several hundreds of our nobility and gentry, then on their travels, were put under the severest restrictions, where they still remain prisoners of war. Such an un- exampled breach of hospitality such an outrage against the laws of nations, (it might have been rationally presupposed) would have been produc- tive of similar measures in this country, where equal opportunities were afforded for their exertion; but very different indeed was the conduct of Eng- land in this, as in all her other actions, she was guided by that predominant national principle, generosity, from which no provocation ever so daring, could have compelled her to swerve. As this was a war between England and France, it must consequently happen that France would demand the aid of all her subjugated allies in the contest, there can therefore be no surprise that Holland, in a very short time after our rupture with the French Republic, made an open declara- tion of hostilities against this country, assuring us that it was with the greatest reluctance she was compelled to the measure. The die being now cast, and war having be- come the unavoidable result, the eyes of all Eu- rope were immediately directed to France, and the issue of so important a contest became the object of universal speculation. Although there appeared at this period no continental attack which France could with justice have made, it was no difficult task for her, with such a Ruler at her head, to convert that into justice which to others might seem the most unprincipled agression. Such was the present case; for a month had scarcely elapsed before the French penetrated in- to the Electorate of Hanover, assuming as a pre- tence for so lawless an incursion the relative situa- tion of that state in regard to England. A short contest with troops as unprepared for so sudden an assault as they were unequal in numbers, made the now unfortunate, though once happy Hano- verians, the unresisting victims of French tyranny and ambition. No sooner had these barbarian conquerors obtained this fresh opportunity of putting into practice the fraternal embrace, than the Hanoverian capital became the theatre of the most insolent indignities and the most savage enormities in short, all their actions in this now subjugated territory but served to confirm in the most glaring manner, that character which their former conduct in Italy, Switzerland, and Egypt, had so generally acquired and so justly deserved. This measure, while it was observed by the other powers of Europe with the most unaccount- able ennui, was resented by the English Govern- ment alone in the only manner which existing circumstances admitted. The enemy's troops had occupied the banks of the Elbe and the Weser, by which means all English trading vessels were excluded from a free navigation up those rivers, in consequence of which the British Government put them into a state of blockade, a measure prompted by every sentiment of a just and neces- sary retaliation. While the rapacity of the French arms was thus felt abroad, the presumption and arrogance of their councils were no less visibly demonstrated at home: it has before been observed that Bona- parte had declared his intention of invading this kingdom, and that even antecedent to the recom- mencement of hostilities for this chimerical and romantic purpose were the shores of France and Holland covered with troops, and their harbours crowded with gun-boats destined to bear the fierce invaders to our coast. As these preparations were forwarding with every possible activity, they afford- ed to the British tars many noble opportunities of impressing on the mind of the gasconading ene- my, the sore and galling recollection of the supe- rior courage and dexterity of an English sailor about this time it was, that the port and town of Granville were almost demolished, and several other ports very materially injured by our bold cruisers. Affairs were in this posture, when a most serious and alarming disturbance in Ireland awakened universal surprise; that country, though not pro- bably in a state of absolute security, was generally supposed to enjoy a comparative tranquillity, as was evident from the astonishment with which Ministers themselves beheld this irruption. How- ever contemptible the event might have appeared in the eyes of some, no reasonable proof can be adduced in support of so erroneous an opinion it was undoubtedly of a very important nature, and if not so timely and effectually suppressed as it was, might very possibly have led to a rebellion equally horrible and bloody with that which stained the annals of Ireland during the last war. That this was a project planned by the duplicity of the Consular Government, in the interval between this and the preceding war, admits of very little doubt, and particularly acquires greater probability from the circumstance of a vast quantity of arms and ammunition having been imported into Ireland from France and also of an envoy from the Irish Provisional Government being actually at the time in the French capital. This sudden insurrection, together with the ne- cessary means of defending the country, occu- pied no small attention of the British Parliament at this period the suspension of the Habeas Cor- pus act in Ireland, was consequently an immedi- ate act of the Legislature and from this and the very great zeal and gallantry displayed by the Irish yeomanry, most of the rebel chiefs were apprehended, who, by a merited death, have since atoned for the barbarity of their crimes, and once more was the country tranquillized into ap- parent security. The protection of our political independence becoming now paramount to all other considera-1 tions, several acts were passed for increasing our military force, among which was one for raising an army of reserve of 50,000 men, which, in con- junction with the voluntary exertions of the kingdom at large, rendered "our military force immensely superior to any recorded on the proud- est pages of our history. A number so prodi- giously great as 700,000 soldiers (of which the volunteers alone are 400,000) will probably at some future period, require more than ordinary proof. While so glorious and patriotic an una- nimity pervades every class of the community, it must be peculiarly gratifying to observe all party distinction in Parliament buried in one common inclination to preserve the safety and independ- ence of the British empire, against the violent and unruly ambition of the tyrant of France. Thus terminated a most eventful year, in which we have seen France and England in peace and at war, invasion threatened, Hanover taken, Ire- land in rebellion, and, to crown the whole, the most brilliant instance of unanimity and patriot- J ism that every brightened the annals of history may it still continue to display itself with that splendour with which it has hitherto shone, until it has proved itself an impregnable barrier to the ambitious views of that man, who, from desires of an universal and despotic rule, has dared again to intrude upon the peace of Europe, and the world January, 1804. vl MARKED.—At Bath, Mr. Thomas Edwards, jun. of Newport, Monmouthshire, to Mrs. Kernan, daughter of the late J.
