HARK! while I found my trembling shell, And bid the nymph, sweet ccho tell; Wnerc on her velvet couch (he Ii s, Hid from the gairifh burning fluo; How the foul-enlivening fouqd Of thy enchanting lyre, Was borne on Ether's waves around, Fiom each foft-fpeaking wire. Twas when beside the wizard stream, I saw the fun's last golden beam, "With yellow tip the aspiring heads, Of timc-contending oaks, the king of (hades ! I the night ffies buzzing round, I heard the beetle's humming found : My foul to sober thought inclin'd, Thus ran the current of my mind. N » longer now my checks disclose, The beauty of the budding role ; No longer, as in former days, I joy, the sprightly laugh to raise. Of then each lovely, summer's night, 'Twas my enraptured foul's delight, To tread the lonely silent vale, And *' drink the spirit of the gale Or wh<*n the cloudlcfs moon on high, Beam'd forth her radiance from the flcy : To wander o'er the airy hill, Where pattering falls the lucd rill; And fee the wild fl w'r> Aiming bight, Crown'd with the tears of weebing night. ButO! the wondrous change! Now. if delights me not to range, The fields and vall'es, bright and With beauties of the laughivg May. When the fhiill fpiritsof the coming dorm, Th ir shrieks of terror pour along the wind ; And fiercer raging all itu.- grove deform, The branches tear, ana shatter down the rind : Wheri heav'ns bright fires def< ending from on high.

'Twas thus I mus'd, when borne along the air, Thy heavenly notes came trembling on my ear ; Sweet as the gentlest showers Of spring, descending on the flowers, When murmuring Zephyr finks to reft, Soft-fighing on the lily's breast. Ah ! wouldft thou with thy arm sustain My weaned form, and footbe my pain ? And would ft thou all the lingering Eve, With thy foft founds my foul relieve ?

CON IDERING the knowledge of the pro perties and virtues of medicine of such va(l importance and necelfity, in order to adtniniller it with prop ie?y and fafery, I have ventured to off-r my fen ments, (which ate ihe result of a v ety of ex icrimems and observations) to the Public in general, on the medicinal qualities and efWis of the celebrated Spring in New-Leba non. r rom a variery of experiments that I have made (which are too numerous to insert here) it appears that the water is podefied of several valuable properties ; two of the mod important thai 1 have difrovered are an alkalefcenr quality, and 3 deg; ee of fixed air. But the water, with all its pi ope ies, is not an infallible fpecific for every difcife, i hough alinolt every kind of inva lids attend it. i here are a great number who attend the POOL, that might receive benefi'., which do not, on account oi i ne mifapplica i >11 of ihe water.

A variety of similar cases might be mentioned ; but a publication of this kind will nor admit of it. I expeA to publilh more largely, after the en suing season. By i equeft of a number of my friends, in con currence with my own inclination —I have un dertaken to keep a register of every disease, symptom, age and sex of the patient ; with the method of applying the water ; which is an un dertaking that has long been required. Any gentleman that wishes for mj advice,may find me living within a few rods of the Spring, where 1 expect to be able to fatisfy any gentle man's curiosity with regard to the quality of the water, &c. &c From the Publick's Moll devoted, humble Servant, STEPHEN HALL CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 25 THE late misfortunes experienced by the Ot toman arms, have thrown this city into con sternation and fright, but the Grand Signior has abated nothing of his haughtiness and inflexibi lity. It is said that the Sultana Valide, having, at the solicitation of the principal people of the empire, endeavored to employ that influence which ftie had over him, to enduce him to enter, as soon as poflible, into a negociation with Ruf fia, the Sultan treattd her with the greatest liat jhnefs, and confined her to the old Seraglio. lie ascribes to the Divine difileafure all the misfortunes which he has experienced, which he hopes to fofien, by recalling ihe Muffulmen to a more rigid observance of the laws of their reli gion : he has, in consequence, given the ft■ iotell orders that all di inkiug-houfes should be iliu; up, not only in Constantinople, but throughout the empire. These orders have produced a violent fermeir among the people, who, notwithstanding ihe precepts of their Prophet, are much addicted to wine, and a general rifitig could only have been prevented by ttie greatest vigilance. Eight days only have been allowed to the Christians to lay in a store for fix months, and the foreign min ilters have been ordered to give in an account of the quantity of wine which will be necellary for the confuinprion of their households. VIENNA, The public do. not expecft a peace : They can not imagine that our Court will abandon Russia, and remain without allies, or that the negocia tions at Siftovia will terminate by a difinitive treaty, before it is known what the Court of Rufiia may hope or fear from the allied powers who interest themselves in the fate of the Otto man empire. SARDINIA The spirit of liberty is daily spreading. Some very serious risings of the people have taken place in Sardinia. The King has given orders for the marching of 10,000 men, to prevent the meetings, or to disperse the people who may have so aflembled. PARI S, March to. At five o'clock yellerday afternoon te deum was chaunted at the metropolitan church at Pa ris, by way of thanksgiving for the happy reco very of Louis XVI. A deputation from the Na tional Afiembly, accompanied by the Municipal ity, the Judges of the new tribunal, and his Majesty's Minilters, aflifted at the ceremony, which was grand and brilliant. At the conclu sion, the bands of music belonging to the mili tary, at the desire of the people, played several favourite airs, as ca ira : Ou peut-on etre m'teux qu'au fain de fa famille [where can the poor king Sjo ! where will he be better off than in the bo som of his own family '] and Vivs Henri IV. Die people teftified their joy on quitting the church, by repeatedly (homing—" Long live ihe Nation ! Long live the King !" NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

The Prefidenr announcing to the Aflembly that on the following Sunday, Te Deum would be chaunred in the church of Notre Dame, on ac count of the improved Hate of the King, that august body determined that it would atiiltby a deputation ar that interesting ceremony. A memorial was read to the Aflembly, dating, rhar many Ecclesiastics, who had not taken the oath before the expiration of .the time limited by the Aflembly, wilhed now to take it ; and praying the Aflembly to pass a decree, that all Ecclefiaflics whose benefices have not already been filled up by fucceflbrs, be allowed to take the oath, and continue in the enjoyment of their Gtuations. LONDON, Ap>il 3 The French king's aunts had very powerful reasons to wish to leave France, it being disco vered that they had been deeply engaged in abet ting, planning and forwat ding the conspiracy of Lyons ; or in other words,in furnifliing inunenfe sums to bring that infernal plot to the wished for end. The bnfinefs is now before a committee of enquiry, and proofs the mod incontrovertible appear against them. The conspirators will be instantly tried and the whole appear in puris na turalibtis. Thursday night lottery tickets were so low as Ceventy guineas—and at that price there were in (lances of some people and their money being soon parted. The late Earl of Strafford was the fourth from the friend of Charles the First, who did not long survive the execution of his favorite upon the fcaffold.

The company present were about 600, of which the majority were Irilh; but in the minority there was not a kingdom, or even a colony in his Majesty's dominions, that had not its proper representatives. Or. Lord ftawdon's health being drank, his Lordlhip, af ter thanking the company, took occasion to ob serve, that all difti ndtions between kingdoms un der the fame sovereign were in fadt idle, except those that tended to promote an honorable emu lation, and a principle of probity. Thus far, said his Lordship, my ideas of Nationality extend, but no farther—For it is my opinion that he who prefers any man from the single circumltance of his having been born in the fame country, to a more worthy candidate of any other, not only in dulges a very reprehensible prejudice, but de grades the cause he wiflies to support. National partiality, within proper reftri<stien, is natural and laudable; beyond that, it is illiberal and unjnft The offenfive remark given to the British Mi lifter at Peterfburgh, is said to be'in substance as follows: ' I am iniftrefs of my own adtions, the free executrix of my own councils ; if mjr measures give offence to the British Court, the British Minister inay retire.' All the convidls, since their arrival on board the veflels at Gravefend, have been stripped of their clothing ; the heads of both men and wo men being closely shaved, they are furniflied with woolen caps, jackets, and petticoats, of blue baize, &c.

Dr. Price lies dangerously ill at his house in Hackney. His complaint is a strangury. It is scarcely credible, but the fa<ft is so, that there are American 2,etlots in this city, who are iufiduoufly employingthenifelves in propogating as opportunity serves, the dodtrines of rebellion. But John Bull is a sturdy fellow, and though he does pay plenty of taxes, he is not very easily to be persuaded that Old England is not the belt place in the world—that King George is not the best King in Europe—and that he does not enjoy as much liberty as is neceflary for the happhiefo of a rational being, Though John Wefley was a thin man, his boneJ will afford good picking to the Biographers, a legion of whom are now brandishing their grey goose quills about his Jife.
