TO.-THE SPIRIT OFCHItALRY.
From antique courts and banner'd hails,,
The scenes 0/ancient Chivalry !
The MuXe un-grateful numbers calls, -
Spirit sublime ! on Thee 1 (
She hails thfe from thy airy feat,
/■ Where the wrapt Minstrels throng—
Their harps attun'il to measures sweet,
And rf»:h their melody of Song 1
High,-in the midst, exulting Fame
Ghaunts loud her darling Ofliaa's name,
And, froihng, weaves a wreath to grace
The leftied sons of valour's race ;
Who erit, for Lady fair ditlrell,
Bade throb tbe fcelißg breast :
And there the Mufo fin. 8 wild to thee,
Spirit of dauntless Chivalry !
Amid the foreft's gloomy (hade,
Where labyrinths impervious wind,
Thy foot steps, Chivalry, have itray'd
Some Lady, lorn, to find S
Some Lady, who, by recreant Knight
Bireft of ev'iy foft delight,
Told to the waning moon her woes,
And the night scene of horror chose,
(While the black mountain's (hadow fell
On the long, solitary dell)
And figh'd, as oft (he call'd on Thee,
Spirit of dauntless Chivalry 1 •
Across the wilder'i waste, alone,
She, trembling, pour'd her aoguilh'd groan
(For tftifre the fierce banditti ftray'd ;)
Or, hid beneath the wood-wild Ihade,
She heard the shrilly northern blast,
As o'er her waving locks it past ;
She felt the night dew, deathly cold.
As down her fever'd cheek it roll'd ;
And, while the distant rampart round,
The Castle bell was heard.to fou-.d,
She rais'd her languid eyes to Thee,
Spirit of dauntless Chivalry I
High iu the grated prison tow'r,
Negleded beauty walled flow;
Aad, walling, couiited.ev'ry hour
By tears, that never ceas'd to flow !
There, Prcfecut ion's poniard {hone
Across her humid bed of stone ;
And there, gaunt Vengeance dared, aghast,
While through the iron lattice blew,
.In moanings deep, the wintry blast,
Freezing her lip, *f livid hue ;
While her faint accents call'd on Thee,
Spirit of dauntless Chivalry I
For" ages, Spirit, hall thou been
An alien to this busy scene ;
Np H»bred flame of lib'ral zeal
Hastaght the foul of Man to feel ?
Valour has fnatch'd a transient fame
From falfe Ambition's airy name ;
But Godlike Sentiment, allied
To Virtue, mocking empty Pride,
Hath rarely fnatch'd ftom sorrow's snare
The heart, flow with'ring in despair,
Till Britilh Lady found, in Thee,
The Soul of dauntless Chivalry !

LONDON, June 10.
Our private advices from Hamburgh of
tbe sih inft. informs us, (hat Moreau is at
length but, very fiowly, and ev.
try day fighting. His retreat is less oUring
to the ineffedual attempts tfhich ,he has
made against the very strong position of the
Aultrian* before Ulm, than h s having been
forced *t the desire of Buonaparte, conveyed
to him by C rnot, to detach <»B,oca men,
in order to cover the lesser cantons, which
are much threatened by the Auftrians, and
particularly to support the movements of
Berthier, who is palling into Italy by the
Valain, at the head of more than 25, co
men from Switzerland to the army of re
serve." General Kray, whose army is every
day reinforced, follows him, and will no
doubt pre is upon him so clofelv as to em
barrass him greatly in his retreat.
Tbe death of SUWARROW has at
length bee 11 officially announced to our gov
ernment. It happened May lft at Peterf
burgh.
The forces which failed in different troop
fliips from Portsmouth on the 13d and'from
Plymourh on the :4th of May, under sealed
orders, appear to have been destined for
Quiberon Bay, where they were disembark
ed at Carnac, under the orders of General
Maitlnnd ; and the next day they attacked
and carried Fort Penthievre.
The prefeut expedition to Quiberon is
not undertaken, like the former one in June
1795, with.a view of fomenting in infur
jeftion in the Western- Departments of
France, but to keep the peninsula as a Point
d'Appui, and harbour for our (hips of war,
and thereby to harrafs more tffettually the
trade of the enemy, particularly in provi
sions, between the western coast and Brest;

Although much damaged, (he was within a
(hort period ready ior sea. Lord Nelson
had previously been landed at Syracuse, in
consequence of a severe illuefs.
By Mr, Arthur Pagett's servant, who ar
lived on Sunday from Palermo, Govern
ment also received difpatcbes from Lord
Keith, of a very recent date-and of consider
able importance. Hit Lordship's difpatch
«s after dating the furrerlder of the citadel
of Savona on the 13th of May, in conse
quence of famine, mention, that on the
19th of the fame month the Magistrates of
Genoa requeited permiflion of Gen. Ott to
fend a flag of truce to Gen. Melas, which
was granted. The nature of the message
was not known, but it is supposed to con
tain an offer to surrender up the city on
certain conditions.
*lo*
Mr. jackfon's dispatches from Tunis con
firms the report of the march of Gen. Melas
towards Piedmont for the purpose oi at
tacking the army ol Reserve, before it re
ceives additional reinforcements. It is
stated that the whole of Buonapart's army
did not exceed 19,000 men on the 15th of
May. Moreau is certainly drawing off a
part of his army from the Danube, to sup
port the projefts ot the Chief Consul in
Italy.
June 9.
The movements of General Melas jgsinft
the ldt wing of the army cf Italy have
been attended with complete fuccels, and he
has by a very masterly stroke diniinifhed
the number of his enemies.
The struggle that is to decide the fate of
Genoa, will probably take place in the
plains of Piedment, where the Auftrians
cavalry are encamped in very considerable
force. The Biitifh fleet, under the com
mand of Lord Keith, has rendered the molt
ufeful services to the common cause ? but
MaiTena seems determined to hold out to
the last extremity.
LONDON, June 8.
' The result of the different affairs of the
advanced Polls Gnce the arrival of the ar
my in its present position, has uniformly
been to the advantage of the Audrain*.
No very material alteration has
place in the ILte of continental affairs fmce
our lafl number. The operations of Gene
ral Kray appear to.have been diredled with
great judgment, and notwithflanding the
impetuosity of the French in their advances,
Imperalifls have fuccecded in firming the
torrent of invalion, and opposing an effedlual
barrier to the further inroads of the enemy.
It is evident that the victories claimed by
the French in their official dispatches could
not have been as decisive as they have been
reprcfented, fmce they have b.een compelled
to linger so very long in the career of
victory before the walls of'Ulm.

At the last datts the Austrian army was
oa the left of the Danube, and in the en
trenched caitip at Ulm. The French army
tfas encamped round Ulm. Moreau with,
the centre was at Doledingen, -on the right
bank of the Danube ; General St. Suzanne,
with the left wing kept up the blockade
of Ulm upon the let t lid". The left wine: "under
Leourtse. is in the t ivirons of Memmin
ge», an d (Iretches out parties to Kempten
and to the frontiers of the Tyrol. The
left wing under St. Suzanne hadfuftained a
severe attack from _ the AuftriacS. under
General Sztarray. butrepulfed them with
loss, and maintained his pnfitions. Some
accounts Rate that .a battle is expedrd ;
others that General Kray intends 'o fall
back after throwing a garrison ifito Ulrh.
In the mean time the divificn of this army,
under General Vandamme purfucs its fue
cefsful career. The important post of Feld
kirch has been taken by it, and a greac
quantity of valuable (lores. This place is
the key of the Grifon country, and the
latter rtuift soon fall into the power of the
Republicans. The Austrian corotnander ia
•the Voralburg cut off from the main a my
found it necessary to rr treat into the Tyrol.
> The suspension of aftive opevations of
the French army of the Rhine, may have
arisen from the arrangements.to ,co perate
with the attempts for the new mvafioo of
Italy. The divi'fion of General Lorge has
been detached from the right wing under
Lecour'se. These troops reinforced by
others from-different parts of Switzerland,
are intended to pass the St- Gothard, and
to form a junflion with the army ol Re
