And what of real wisdom do I know- More than I did fell forty years ago ? Tho' thrice ten years, and move to thcia subjoin'd, ri: I've, spent" to cultivate 111." heart and mind, Yet much I wish, I want, I ought to know, And more than I have done remains to-do. Now looking bar.k, as from a landing-place, I find I've travell'd. but a trifling space; Whence then can those iU-jndged transports How, Which some each, year in birth-day revels slienv Is it—that they a year have less to live? Or that they are sure heav'n will another give ? All who can say-This day's within my power, It wiH be soon like those whichwellt before Fled too fur distant, ever.to recall- As much a past one, as the lirst of all. Devoutly then my birth-day will I spend, Lament ) he past year—try the next to mend lietii;'a from the busy world, once more Live o'er again in thought each well-spent hour; And thinbng of the hours I've idly spent, I'll drop a tear, then hasten to repent.. "Vben I consider all the years are flown by possession once had made lilY own, And that there's only left.within my pow'r The passing moment of the present hour Before my Great Creator I will kneel, His aid implore to spend that moment well; Breathe out my soul with a relenting sigh, And beg of richest grace a fresh supply; Beg to bemoan my mis-spent time that's past, And grace each day to live, as if my last. To thee, Q God, then here I humbly bow, Thy greatness own, my nothingness avow If hitherto I've pass'd my days in vain, I ask not to live o'er my life again Give me the Savionr and myself to know, A mind superior to this world below 0 give me wisdom to be truly wise, Wise to salvation-this shaft me suffice.

■ ECCF- ITERUII ANOTHER PARODY On Gmy's Ode on the Death of a favourite Cat. 'TWAS on a Itfty gun-boat's side, Which brav'd the sWell of Boulogne's tide, Secure from hostile blow, The vilest of die cut-throat kind, The'gloomy Corsican reclin'd, Gaz'd on the sea below. His conscious pride his face,declar'd; His conscious pride his face,declar'd; His frowning brcjws and dingy beard, His lengthen'd I laiithoni-laws; His coat of F'ru.ssia's deepest dies, llis locks of jet, and bas'lisk eyes. He saw, and grow I'd applause. Still had lie gaz'd, when 'midst the. tide Hie British fleet were seen to ride, The glory of the main; The waving pendants soar'd in view, Full well he ken'd the hateful hue, A sigh betray'd his pain. Ah! oft I've sought," the Consul said, In vain, the English shore to tread, With many an ardent wish In vain I seek to teach the prize, Thost. British tars my threats despise, I. fear I'm food for fish." Presumptuous man !—with looks intent, For England's coast his sails he bent, Nor knew the risks between. Relentless; Fate sat bv and smil'd,, The slipp ry deck his feet beguil'd, He tmllbled beadlong in. Fight times emerging from the flood, He roar'd to every pow'r—but God, Some speedy aid to send No Dauphin came, no Dutchman stirr'd, Nor Talleyrand or Lucien heard— A tyrant has no friend. From hence, ve Frenchmen, learn the fate Of those who by success elate, Are without caution bold Not all that tempts your greedy eyes And savage hearts is lawful prize, Not yours is Britain's gold.

A PATRIOTIC SONG. WHILE round the festive board we meet, And Bacchus, jolly Bacchus, greet, In spirited libation; His liUral wishes who'd controul, While Mirth and Friendship crown the bowl, And Freedom toasts her nation ? Vnshacld'd yet by Gallia's chains, "While vengeful insolence maintains Intolerable, sway, Britannia still protects her shore, And bids th' insulted lion roar. His enemies affray. My sons," she cries, a sanguiue foe, Whose hearts hatred glow, Presume your rights t' invade 0 Your envy'd laws to equalise, •• Your richest joys economise, u And make your laurels fade- Will Gallic arrogance pretend Submissively your necks to bend, And wear a Tyrant's yoke ? Have not y^ur liberty and lives, Is Your children, property, and wives, Your ev'ry nerve bespoke ? It Shou'd Atheist's nnhallow'd host, Direct their views to Cambria's coast, u Her watchfutsignais rear; May Welcbmen prove a phalanx strong, A .round thc-ir patriot standard throng, W hile liberty is dear. II Invoke the bnIwark of defence, tf That over-ruling Providence, Wou'd storm the angry flood Or teach the human arm to wield Destruction—painted on the shield --p-,xiiiteci on the shield Ip streams of Gallic blood." Nor wou'd the Shepherd of us all, Who sees the destin'd sparrow fall, Our orisons re fuse;' t Wou'd he permit the wolf to roam, Assail his folded sheep at home, Or tender iambs abuse P Then let our banners proudly fly, Britain's strengthened arm defy,- The threats of innovation W hile union floats within the bowl. And genuine snirit warms the soul, And Freedom toasts her nation. CambkobbitankusI

To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. Sin,' 'i Considering Newspapers as an enlightened mode of com- municating ideas to the public, and depending upon your assurances of independence and impartiality, permit me to address the inhabitants of Swansea through the medium of The Gamut*ian, and guard them against an incautious disposal of power into the hands of those who, from the general tenor of their conduct, seem inclined to use it more with a consideration of their individual advantage than for the general welfare. I allude to the plans now pending for forming a con- tinuation of the present canal to Oystcrmouth. This measure appears fraught with such ruinous consequences to the town and trade, that I cannot feel myself justified in with-holding my sentiments. ThcpJan, I understand, is to bring the extension through all the wharfs on the banks of the river; but in this there appears a singular neglect, not to use a harsher phrase, as to keep the level ot' the canal will cause a very material elevation of the present quays necessary, so much so in most places, as almost to prohibit the landing of any goods, at" least without the assistance, of very powerful cranes, .which will render the present high charges of trade much heavier. This in a port at present in its infancy, ought in the strongest manner to be deprecated, as if the expences attendant on trade ex- ceed those of other ports, adieu to all the long-expected foreign consignments, and adieu to the present business, which appears increasing For, as it is a mercantile un- deviating maxim, that the port Whose conveniences are most,anrtattainable at the. lightest expence, will always have a preference, so will the business of Swansea decline as its charges are increased. Though the above' is a strong ar- gument against the projected canal, yet there appears one still greater. When completed, no doubt the clause im- powering the Trustees of the Mumble Light: to budd a Pier there, will be acted upon, and by that means an liai-I)otir sufficiently safe to permit the loading of vessels at Oystermouth will be formed. The obvious consequence- is, that a very large share of the present coal-trade will be removed there from hence, as no vessel will incur the additional port-charges of the river, and the attendant delays, unless she has a cargo inwards and I beg to refer to the Custom-house books, or to your weekly shipping list, to prove the numbers of each. I need not "point out the ruinous effects the change of trade will produce—it must be apparent to the mfast unconcerned observer. Permit me to draw the attention of the proprietors of collieries, merchants, &c. of the town, and to stir them to consult their own interests, and never to sacrifice their permanent interests.and advantages to accommodate any man, let his power and authority be as great as it may. They at pre- sent have advantages but let them beware, lest they in- considerately throw them away. Should a total opposi- tion be declined, let me suggest to them and the projectors of the canal, the idea of a" rail-road along the banks bf the river from the head of the present, and to join the intended canal at the Parade. It would do away the first objections urged again the intended cut, and would, instead of a nuisctiicr, prove a public benefit, Swansea, FebI 15, 1804. SPECTATOR.

THE GENERAL OF DIVISION -2 TO HIS COM- PANIONS IN ARMS. "SOLDIERS, "The sea is passed! The boundaries of nature have yielded to the genius and the fortune of the hero, the saviour of France and haughty England already groans under the yoke of her conquerors! London is before you! that Peru of the Old World is your prey. Within twenty days I plant the tri-c'oloured flag on the proud walls of her execrable Tower!—March! the road to victory is open. In order to render that happy- victory certain and inevitable, your commander here oilers you.some advice, brave Centre, at the same time that he renews, upon the enemy's soil, the sacred promises tliat you" have already twice received from the august head of "the state. I know there are amongst you some who are in- triguers and fomenters of disturbance, and I shall know how- I to punish such. I know, also, the pretext which malice will employ to seduce you from your duties, and from the path of honour. No, my children! it is not with a view to de- prive you of your rewards that we exact of you a temporary and short forbearance, which military prudence and the force of circumstances demand. It is not to defraud you of the gifts awarded to you by Bonoparte, that we point out to you the only course by which you can attain the enjoy- ment of them. Once more I pledge the faith of Govern- ment, which only reserves to itself, among the enormous treasures that you are on the eve of conquering, the armies and fleets of the enemy; while it destines their monuments of their arts to decorate the temples of the Capital of the World, and to become an eternal record of your victories. Towns, fields, provisions, cattle, gold and silver- I abandon all to you! occupy those noble mansions, those smiling farms. The properties, the families of your enemies, are all your own; all is destined for your wealth, or for your enjoyment. An impure race, rejected by Heaven, and which has dared to be the enemy of Honaparte, is about to expiate its crimes by disappearing from the. earth. Yes, I swear to you, that you shall become terrible! W nat does malIce intend r I only require from you the forbearance ofsome few days, and caution you not to. be deceived by the artifice which the wisdom of the Consul has contrived to ensnare the credulous nativesofth.tt .miserable country. True, I have proclaimed protection and saiety; I have promised to pay for provisions; rape, plunder, ami devastation, are prohibited under pain of death. Soldiers! woe to the wretch, who for the premature indulgence of his! vengeance or his passions, shall dare to commit the public vengeance, or the fortunes of all. Every thing has its sea- son. Cajole, divide, disarm, that immense population" which despair alone can render invincible. This is the ob- ject for which, at the present instant, all efforts and all wishes should concur. This is the object prescribed by i the providence of government, and the safety of the army. Soon—and the hour of a just retribution already strikes —the. signal shall be given:-—Expect it in the posture of the j tyger, and observe also his silence.: Then spring upon your prey, give way to your feelings, take your enjoyments, and gather without risk, the mellow fruits of vS-tdrv all will then become your duty except senseless pity, equally unjust I to your country, and cruel to injured humanit y. iViay the enemy of France perish to his foundation! May the name of England be lost and forgotten! Xnow, that lleaven and the First Consul have conspired for its ruin and total obI i- i vion. Then may that guilty island, formerly wrested by Ii the sea fron: France, purged from the monsters that inhabit it, return within its legitimate boundaries, having expiate its numberless crimes. May it be regenerated by that mas- ter-stroke of policy, that can only render it worthy of be-' coining once more a. portion of the continent, and a. province of France. Perhaps the proud conquerors may not disdain to carry to it their generous race. Perhaps they may de- rive a sentiment of joy, from compelling the wives and daughters of the conquered, to give Frenchmen toFVance! "Soldiers, the country is your own!—My brave compa- nions, let those inhahit ltwho will: It is Bonaparfci himself who gives me authority to insure to every one who desires to reside in these beautiful plains, as a faithful colonist of France; a house, furniture, and lands—in short, a lot splen- did ahd secure. All those who shall preier to return to their native homes, shall be henceforth exempted from every spe- cies of service, parochial or uiiiit'avy. They shall,-however, be permitted to carry off, w ithout molestation, every article of which they may be respectively possessed at the disband- I ing of the army (which shall take place immediately after the conquest), not excepting the women of the.enemy" whom hey may honour with their partiality. Finally, my brave brethren in arms and fortune, I can with safety swear ro you, that thyrt' shall not be found one in the army unprovided for, or discontented; and that your riches ami your plea- sures, joined to_ the respective ranks and brevets of honour, •winch are designed for you, shall fill up the measure of' your recompense—a recompense worthy of your noble achievements, and.stich as Bonaparte will .not. blush to pre- senttoyou. "Remain then assured of all these benefits, dutifully ohey- ing the orders of your commanders; delivering up those, who may attempt to ioment-dislurbanees auwlIgst >ou awl ohsen jJlg the strictest discipline and. duty in the presence of the enemy. ——————— GKNKRAr. OF Divrsrox. Cili.F DE L'E-r", The following is an extract of a letter received from an ejnmeiit inerchnut in New-York, dated 8th of January, .1804: The threatened invasion of Endand creates great in- terest in this part of the world, for. on the issue of that event depends our political existence. Even the fax-oarers of the French Government acknowledge this; so that the present is a moment of unusual anxiety, particularly a- mong commercial men. I, for one, am sanguine in the expectation that the British nation will continue for ages to 'd maintain that decided superiority it has long possessed and I look upon the vain boasting of the Corsican as an idle chimera. This Government is on the eve of taking possession of Louisiana. Whether the acquisition will be bendicial to the United States, time will only determine; themnigation of the Mississippi is a'dcsirable object, but I anr afraid it will too lUueh enlarge the territory of the United States. Adventurers from all parts are flocking to New Orleans. Many will undoubtedly return disappoint- ed. It will, necessarily require some time before com- can follow this new channel. When it does, I am persuaded, a great deal of business will be done between New Orleans and New York." The New York Gazette of the 8th ult. contains the following artide:- If Britain falls, the wopld is at the mercy pf a single man nothing but Almighty Power can set bounds to his conquests. The Princes wlio now stand aloof, and bless themselves in security, will lick the duftofbis feet. Where is the safety of the United States ? Where, is the boasted purchase of Louisiana ? Will he who has over-run Europe, and not a few," who finds nothing able to controul him, and drunk with success, will he regard treaties, or dread a feeble opposition ?—No—at present he will promise any- thing; but let hirn once, accomplish his purpose, and he will perform only what insatiable avarice suggests, myl, unlimited force can execute. Our distance is no obstacle, if the fleets of Britain be subdued; he will have ships and men more than enough to dictate to us, without, a timely and vigorous use of ou-r resources." The Rev. Dr. Clarke, ye}l known by li-is former political writings, has lately replied to-the book written by M. llau- terive, Secretary of State in France, under M. TrHeyrand, wherein Britain and Russia are accused of being the au- thors of the present disorganised state of Europe. In this answer, the learned author has exposed the gross ignorance of M. Hauterive on most of his subjects, and not only re- futed as an historian and politician, his grOundles calumnies against Britain and Russia, but has fully developed the dan- gerous designs of- France against these two powers. The Emperor of Russia has on this occasion conferred on this au- thor 'the .most flattering..proof of his approbation. Dr.. Clarke has been honoured with a letter, accompanied by a mark of Imperial favour ajid distinction, composed of dia- monds of considerable value to be worn by him. LAW. In the Court hf King's Bench, on Wednesday, Mr. Man- leymoved for leave to file a criminal inlbrnjation against John Beanhum, an overseer of the parish of Newtown, Hampshire, for refusing to afford proper relief to Joseph Ciorman, an out-pensioner of Chelsea Hospital, who was travelling on foot, with his wife, to Scarborough; and be- ing taken,suddenly ill in the parish of Newtown, applica- tion was made to the overseer for relief, which, he denied. The. poor soldier, with" great difficulty, proceeded to N ew- bury, about two miles further, and there every possible at- tention was paid to him he was placed under tho care of a m'cdical gentleman, of the name of Lamb, but he continu- ed ill, and shortly alter died. The affidavit of Mr. Lamb stated, that had the deceased been taken proper care of, when first afflicted,-his- disorder would not have proved fa- taL-Lord Ellenborougii recoiuniencled^an enquiry into the facts through the medium of an indictment. It was decided the same day, contrary to the doctrine of the Court of Common Pleas, that all the British sailors who had been made prisoners and sent into the interior of Rus- sia, during the misunderstanding between the two coun- tries, are entitled to their full wages during the time of their imprisonment. thursday, Mr. Spencer, a surgeon, and one of the Cor- poration or'Wells, received judgment for printing and pub- lishing a libellous hand-bill, against Charles Wm. Taylor, Esq. the candidate retih-aod at the last election, imputing to him, that he was a convicted adulterer, a notorious gam- bier, the oppressor oftne poor, and, in short, that he Was guilty of every vice without one solitary virtue." The sen- teane was, thnthe,paya fine of 1001. to the King, and find security for his good behaviour for three years. Saturday, John and Michael Hedges were brought up to receive judgment for defrauding the Commissioners ot the navy, as coopers employed in the dock-yard at Depl- ford, to the amount of 32421. 7s. lOd. for work supposed to be done and materials found. After a suitable address from Judge Grose, on the enormity of the offence, they were sentenced to a fine of 5001. each, to be imprisoned six months in Newgate, and during the first month to stand on the pillory opposite Somerset-Ho.nse, in the Strand. Mr. Wilson, innkeeper, at Basingstoke, a married man, who carried oil' Elizabeth Woodbyru, a young lady under age, and vho afterwards disobeyed a writ of Habeas Cor- pus, requiring him to bring said Elizabeth Woodburn into Court, was brought up to receive judgment, for his con- tempt in not obeying the said writ. Justice Grose passed sentence, which was, that Mr. Wilson should pay a fine of 501. and be imprisoned SIX months in Newgate." The case on which a tide to shew cause was granted on the 3d instant, against Mr.-Wilkes, an attorney of the Court, was heard .on Saturday, when it appeared that Mr. Wilkes had acted as a fair, honest, and honourable practi- tioner, and that .10 imputation ought torest upon him. A case was on Tuesday exhibited at one of the Westmin- ster police cilices, in which a surgeon of some eminence was charged with occasioning the death of a woman by the most wanton and criminal neglect. If the circumstances are as reported, we fervently hope-no impediment will be suffer- ed to obstruct the course of justice, or shelter the inhuman perpetrator from public indignation. Naval Improvement.-f-A Lieutenant in the royal navy has just received the thanks of the Right Hon. the Lords Com- missioners of the Admiralty) for his excellent plan (which he has communicated to their Lordships) for the purpose of keeping the squadrons of b'S Majesty's fleet upon their star tions before the enemy's ports in blowing weather. This" plan is likewise of the utmost utility, t.o prevent a ship from falling into the trough of the sea: and, in a gale of wind, to keep her from the danger, of being drove upon a lee-shore, where there is no anchorage.—-It wIllalsq be found of great importance, in case a ship should lose her sails, carry jtway her masts, lose her rudder, get becalmed after a strong gale in a heavy sea, or become otherwise in a distressed situation, —The above invention is rendered invaluable, by its being at once upon so plain and easy a principle, that it may be comprehended in all instant; and two or three seamen can, at any time, construct the whole machine in a few minutes, out of a part of die ship's materials, witlvout an y loss or cx- pence whatever as the'machine (after it is done with) can with ease betaken to pieces, and those parts which compos- edit used again for their ordinary purposes. A hint to the Clergy-—Every precaution seems to have becnjEdiciously arranged for removing the infirm persons and cattle near the coast, in case of invasion but it does not appear that any precaution has been taken to secure the parish registers in such case. This is of such public im- portance, that we .would suggest to the clergy to have a firm box made in every parish fit to secure the* registers or any valuable archives, &c. which may, in case of invasion, lie easily conveyed to a place of safety by any cart which removes the sick. The birth-day of the celebrated Scottish Bard, Robert c c Burns, was celebrated on tltc28th iiltv by a number of his admirers, at 'the cottage where lie was born. An ode, pre- pared for the occasiun, and composed by one of the Bard's sons, was recited by the gentleman who" presided. But we derive more solid satisfaction from hearing, that in addi- tion to the ,5001. in 3 per cent. annuities, raised by sub- scription, in favour of Mr. Burns' widow and children, they have recently received au addition of 1001. from the discri- minating beneficence of Sir F. Baring. It also gives us pleasure, to find, that Mr. Addington has taken under his pa- tronage Mr. Burns', eldest son, Robert, whom he intends to place In one of the public offices. Theatrical*.—A new play, called The Soldier'* Daughter, was brought out at'Drnry-iane on Tuesday, and met wltla a very flattering reception. It is said to be the production of Mr. Cherry, the comedian. The soldier's daughter (per- hmuedb.y Mrs. Jordan) is ayoHng widow, full of lire Hnd vivacity, who, ill the course ot the drama, gets another hus, lJand, a young merchant. The rest of the piaYls made up of love, distress, whim,' with one character to personify treachery, falsehood, and avarice, which, of OLirse; iiiect with due rev.-ard. The Epilogue, by Mrs. Jordan, was very happy. S'x'recounnendedacorp.of/('- male -volunteers—-Ihe oid maids to be pioneers—-the widows sharjr-shooti'rsthe married women fusileers, and these to be aided by battalions of light troops. The Durham-Agricultural Society, at their last meeting, unanimously resolved, that none of the members will, in fu- ture, hire any servant, who does notproduce a certificate of good behaviour from the last place of service.—A resolu- tioll which, it is ;fiuch wished, should be generally adopted. The Bishop of Meath ( Dr. O'Bcirne) is one of the most distinguished agriculturists in the sister island; his Lord- ship's principal attention is paid to the improvement of the breed of catlle, and for thispurpose he has imported some of the fineset North Devon stock, at a considerable expence. A few days since-Miss S. Smith, of Dorchester, met with lei r( the following shocking accident:—Being alone at, her bro- ther-in-law's C. Cozens, t:sq. she went to the cellar to get a small cleft of wood, when returning up the stairs, a current of air blew her muslin gown against the candle, which im- mediately xaught fire, and burnt with great rapidity; she ran to the door to alarm the neighbours, but ill vain she then returned from the door, and fell down in the passage in a fit occasioned by the fright, where she was soon found by the servant coming iil, but in a most dreadful state. Her clothes around her body were entirely burnt, her arms al- most, burnt to a coal, and from her neck downward the fire had so penetrated as to make her a mostshoeking spectacle, notwithstanding which she lived about fourteen hours, was perfectly sensible, and related the above account, though m the niost excruciating pain. The father of an industrious retailer of fish, in Wells- street, Hackney, expired in a fit of apoplexy on Sunday last. Though this man was notorious for a vai-iety of wretchedness," the sum of .371. in notes and cash, was found sewed up in the waistband of his breeches. A blind beggar, on Friday evening, dropped down dead in Long-lane, Southwark. By papers found on his person, it appears that he was entitled to* prooerty, amounting to 2001. a year. A forged check for 7411, was presented for payment at a respectable banker's in Lombard-street, on Tuesday last, and duly honoureu. It appears the party proceeded im- mediately to the Bank, ancf changed the irotes for smaller ones. A man named Hansard is" suspected to be the-per- son gn i Ity of the forgery. Edward Cowssl, only 15 years -old, was tried at the late Manchester quarter-sessions, for setting fire to the factor^ of Messrs..Newton and Co. near Knotmill, by whom lie was employed. It appeared from the evidence of a yaun»- -girl, likewise employed in the factory, that on the night of the of December last, one of the workmen went round, its to put out the candles, and very uninten- tionally left the snuff of one of t '.em burning..The young offender took th<: snuff of the candle on fire, put it into some waste cotton,, and blew it so as to the cottou on fire,; then he placed it on the lfoor of>>the room, laid a heap I of cotton rovings upon it; and, threatened to kill the girl (who alone was present) if she gave any alarm, swearing-the factory would be down before the morning which certain- I., would have been the case, if the watchman had not discovered it in time by die smoke and smell. No motive could be assigned for the lad's conduct, except wanton mischief, and the Court sentenced the to be kept in solitary confinement arid hard labour in the New Bailey prison, for two years, and to be twice whipped once at the j commencement, and again at the expiration, of his im- prisonment.
