MR. FENNO,
I fend you a Poem oj the uell-hnown Del la Crusca, zvhtcyt, 1 be
lieve has never been printed in America ; few, even of his grcatejl
admirers, have etcr Jetn it, as it is not included in the Bi itifh Album.
HOWARD,
THE PHI LAHTHROrE
AN ODE.
Written by Robert Merry, Esquire, under thefigrature of
Del la Crusca
THE roving Zephyr's gentle gale
That flutters in the flowery vale ;
That liovci s on the high hill's fide,
And curls the river's rtpling tide;
Shall oft, BENIGNANT HOWARD, shed
A winnow'd fragrance round thy head,
When chance at lultry noon thou'rt laid
Beneath the Afpin's quiv'ring shade.
At night no dissonance shall rife,
To chace light fiumber from thine eves ;
Near thy abode no found be heard,
Unless the melancholy biid,
Thar leans her bosom on the spray,
Shall warble all her woes away.
Yon pearly moon that beams so bright
Upon the fable breast of night,
Has seen thy wandering footfteps go
To (liores where distant billows flow,
Where Europe owns a Sultan's nod,
And {"marts beneath a Tyrant's rod.
Yon pearly moon now fees thee roarn
O'er Britain's Ifl'e, thy native home,
Explore each prison cell to cheer,
Sorrow and lonely want and tear :
For still compafTion bids thee wend
Towards him who has no other friend ;
Towards him who all forgotten lies.
Deep channels funk around his eves.
While from their balls' diftra&cd glare,
Looks forth the meagre fiend despair.
Alas for many a tedious year
His only folate was a tear ;
But now by time the source is dried,
And that hft ifolace is denied.
Methinks thro' forme small grate afa'*,
He nightly woos the POLAR STAR ;
That ever fettled as his woes,
Is all the fympithy he knows.
Yes, yes, in fancy, can I feel,
The keen delights that o'er thee steal;
The look of thanks, the wretch's prayer,
In Ihort forgctfulnefs of care ;
The fond wife's fmilc, the child's caress,
And all the luxury to bless.
O HOWARD, not the Poet's lays,
Tho HAYLEY celebrates thy praise ;
Nor yet the SENATE'S loud applause
To hail thee firft in Virtue's caufc;
Nor e'en the public's just design
To give the STATUE and the COIN ;
Can one cncreafing bliss impart
To that which centers in thy heart.
On earth thy recompence is giv'n,
Already iscommenc'a thy hcav'n.

DR. KIPPIS, the well known and much re
l'pe&ed editor of Biographia Britannica, in
the address he delivered on the interment of the
late Rev. Dr. Price, said, " The joy which he
(Dr. Price) derived from the French Revolu
" tion has been strongly displayed to the pub
" lie, and it has occasioned a difcuflion that will
" only tend to the defeat of the enemies of free-
" dom,
" May I never poiTfefs the head or the he3rtof
<e those who Jo not exult in the emancipation of
" twenty five millions of people from a wretch
" ed tyranny and def'potifin ; in the diffufion of
" equal happiness among ftich numbers of men,
" and the prospect which is now afforded re
" fpeding the gradual melioration,. and the
•" growing, perhaps too rapid improvement, of
" the fitate of the world in general ! Amidst the
•' strange eccentricities and obliquities of the
" human understanding, we have feci) it to be
" possible for the Revolution in France to be at
" tacked by all the power of genius, by all the
" richness of imagery, and by all the lustre of
" flowery and diverfified language but the
" molt brilliant efforts of this kind are now no
" inoTe tliah the corrufcations of the nothern
" lights, which diverge into a thousand lines,
" and entertain the eye with their various ap
" pearances, but Which at belt present only a
" splendid confufiun, and foonend in total dark
" ness."
COURT or KING'S BENCH.
Westminster-Hall, July 16.
Oldham vsrfus Emerson.
The plaintiff, an eminent ironmonger in Pol
born, had in April last purchaleda horh?from the
defendant for 601. for which sum he got a receipt
with a security that the horse was quiet, steady
free from vicc, &c. &c. But, when the plaintiff
began to ride him, he would flop, plunge, start
and go back (all which the plaintiffs servant and
several oihers swore to) upon which the horse
■was lent back to the defendant, who said he
would write about him to a Mr. Rainbridge, his
owner, who lived in the country, and would'pro
vide the plaintiff with another horse ; but after-'
wards refufed to give him either another horse,
or his money : to recover which, this atfion was
brought.
Mr- Erftine, for the defendant, insisted, thaf
he never intended to rescind the contract' and
that the plaintiff should have brought a special
adtion on the cafej instead of one far money had
and received ; he knew the horse was high-bred,
and blooded before he bought him ; and if he
afterwards met the fate of "Johnny Gilpin, from
his ignorance in h jrfemariihip, it was not the
defendant's fault. Belides, the defendant only
a<fted as deptuty for another. Mr. Erlkine then
called thirteen witnefles, some of them gentle
men of property, who all knew the horse; and
declared that he was gentle, well broke, well
worth the money given for him, and that little
boys used to ride him ; and that any man who
could not ride him, was not fit to ride at all.
■ Lord Kenyon said, that although the witnefles
on both fides differed very much, there wa3 no
ju(V reason to discredit either ; a horse might
one time be quiet, and another time thereverfe.
The plaintiff's servant was thrown, and himfelt
in danger of his life, as appeared on evidence ;
and therefore the horse could not be said to an
swer tlie purposes for which the plaintiffgot him.
As to the defendant's acting as a deputy, the
plaintiff, at the time of the contradi, provided a
gainst that.
The jury, after deliberating for some time,
gave their opinion, that the plaintiff fliould get
back his money, and that each party Ihould pay
his own corts : which was agreed to.
Gondiifxjn of M. Muguet's speech in the National
Jtfembly, on ths fubjttt of the King's inviolability.
"In vr,in some unquiet spirits, always dellrous
ofchange, have persuaded theiufelves that the
flight of one individual could change the form
ot Government, and reverse all the (yltem of your
constitution ; in vain have they wished to play
upon you their errors, and persuade you that
iheir opinion was that of all Frenchmen ; in vain
fonie other persons, still slaves in the mid it of a
free people, always courtiers, never citizens, re
garding only one man, when they ought to at
tend to the Stare ; guided by personal interest,
when they ought to be directed by the public ;
bowed under the yoke of habic and prejudice ;
devoted to an ancient idolatry, and aflerting the
principles of monarchy which are not attacked ;
attributing to the reprefenratives of the nation
intentions which they have not difcovered—h'ave
wilhed by partial opinions to influence your de
termination, and anticipate your decrees. The
National Aflembly, without giving way to the
exaggeration of the one, or the scurrility of the
other, before it determine further refpedting the
King, will allow their spirits to calm, will ad
vance towards the end of its institution, and will
complete the Confliturion, which,whateverevents
may follow, must in all future time be the centre
of union for the friends of liberty."
