m FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS MAGAZINE. LINES on FEMALE GENIUS, To PHILENIA ;* occajtoned by reading her POEM, entitled, " Guabi, or the Virtues oj Nature In former days, as ancient poets feign, A strange contention fill'd th* etherial plain, What gojdefs, faireft in angclic eyes, Should o'er herb ight compeers in beauty rife, In make and motion high 3bovc the reft, Sov'reign of hearts and queen of love confef&'d. All wakeful Discord the event improv'd, And the whole sex a gilded apple mov'd. O'er the blefs'd plain the friv'lous bauble rolTd, " TotheJirJl Fair," inferib'd in gems and gold. Who had the faireft face, fit (übje£l then, For universal war of go J s and men. A higher theme has now all hearts inclin'd, Not who's the faircft form, but brightest mind, And hark, how loud the mental contest rings! Apollo's hand has set the tuneful firings, Phi len i a's verse his living lyre divine Admits, and calls upon the sacred nine To name the fair pre-eminent in song, To whose mild voice the dulcet notes belong. To such enchantress he'll consign the lyre, The bright credential of superior fire ; From whose ftritt chords the diapason clear, Mellifluous deep, shall charm th' arrested ear. Extatick airs, that hymn the morning ray, The lark's full note, and linnet's lighter lay, Shall emulate Phi lenia's song in vain, Pier heav'nly harp sublime and seraph strain. And hence shall bigot pride conieft no more The sex's equal claim to claflic lore. Mean is the man who never can bestow A leaf of laurel to a female brow ; When sterling sense and tuneful di&ion join'd, Are the twin-offspring of a female mind. From Albion's cliffs what tides of music flow, When heart struck Seward pours the plaint of woe, When Carter's modulated numbers roll, And Moor e and Aiki n moralize the foul. O woman, favorite of the fowling skies ! \Be thy jufl rights asserted by the wife ! To thy fair fame impartial, they shall find Genius is not to any sex confin'd ; Bound by no Salic Law, to nature true, u Shall give to merit, what is merit's due." * A Lady of Bojlon. BOSTON, Jan. i 5, By an arrival at Salem from India, a Calcutta paper has been re ceived, which gives accounts of the operatious of that inveterate enemy of the English, Ti pfo Sa ib, the fucceflor of the famous Hyder Ali, agairift the Rajah of Travencore. In one battle with the Rajah, Tifipo is said to have been defeated, with the Joss of 1300 men—and in a he is said to have afTaulted the Rajah lines with incredible ferocity and bravery, and after a long con test, obtained a victory. The Rajah of Travtncore is a (lifted by his ally, the Englifli, with considerable bodies ot troops, and ac cording to the last accounts, Tippo, with 150,000 men, was pie paring to attack them—between whom a serious battle was ex pected. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLX Of France, at the date of the last accounts, was fact approaching towards its diflolution—the consequent general election that will take place throughout France, will be the true epocha for the per manent establishment, or final deftruflion of the liberties of that country. That the issue may be the promotion of the bed good of the French Nation, forms the wish of every American. To the.King, they fay, " Hai/, thou that Jhalt a sceptre wield, Unspotted long with human gore ; Th\ rhnklrf y- '' a > To regal tnanny no more. Another Louis views thyJlate, And the great Henry joys to fee Ilis injured country blejl tho' late With Louis and with Liberty." SEMI-ANNUAL LOTTERY.
