ASSOCIATION. 1
It is with iabisiie concern, we,
names are he.-iiito fubferibed, have
perceived the effects praftifed by the
enemies of our parent date, to dtlfemi
nate the feeds of difcootent, and by
falfehood, to pro Yoke to disloyalty, sub
jects, who owe ihe many and superior
bl- fftngs they pcfiefs, to a generous and
foilering empire. At a time, when de
tinning and wicked men, by every art,
are endeavoring to fcduce the easy and
credulous minds of our fellow-fubjefts ;
when foreign emissaries, or seditious
characters, are concealed among us, la
boring to detach our afTeiftions from oOr
sovereign and our dearefl iutcrells, our
country and posterity : when we know
that similar endeavors originated in the
borrid purposes of destroying every sa
cred right annexed to social comfort,
and that by such arts, at firfl equally
specious, the tflercilefs hand of deflat
ing power has attained the fupreftie au
thority in France ; a power usurped bv
fabjecis that have murdered a lawful i
and acknowledged sovereign, Louis j
XVI. king of France; and in the name
of a people, have publicly and formally
renounced all religious duties, and the
worship of a Deity ! A power that has
p.-rfecuted and destroyed the ministers j
of the e.lablifhed Roman Catholic !
Church ; has plundered the temples,
and profaned the Holy Altars of God !
When we know such effects to have pro
ceeded from the specious purposes of re
forming evils, and generating the com
mon good, we ffcel it the duty of every
honest fubjeft to come forth, and exert
himfelf to check the progress and pre
vent the execution of such baneful de
signs. (
When we consider our happy situa
tion, that we possess a liberal and free
constitution, and are supported by a
great and beneficent nation, in whose
blefiings we liberally partake, that we
live in the full and undisturbed enjoy-,
ment of our Civil and Religious Rights,
withotit the burthen of .taxes, prta the
charge of supporting ths Governmerit
of Society.
Wht*h we place these comforts in con
trast with the slate of those countries,
that youtd seduce us into their miseries,
by uniting our strength and possessions
to relieve their distresses ; when we fee
that even in the attempt to give such
relief;, we are to facrifice our loyalty,
our jnvti,
cits, and thai «. •}'

at LONDON May 23.
This morning Mr. Brooks, the
, King's Messenger, arrived with dispatches
°, from his Royal Highness, the Duke of
™ - -York, dated May 21.
By the fame conveyance we have let
l terj- from our correspondents in the army, j
We find as w£ yefterdsy stated, that
the allied armies under his Royal High
ness had met with a check, in which
from five to eight hundred men were
a jj killed and w6unded,- and some pieces of
light artilery wefe loft/ leport said to
' the number of thirty.
General Fox's brigade, which was
detached from the main force, fuffered
most.—They were furronnded by the
French, but always drove them who at
-3 a tacked them in the iVmtj
-* e " The 43d have loft 180 men—the
fourteenth and thirty-seventh about 100
ige each 5 but it is supposed that the molt
sja- of them are taken prisoners. Brevet
the Major Brown ofthe who command-
Ed the regiment, in the absence of Ma
jor Rufs, was (hot through the'body
and left in the iicld. Captain Cook who TH
commanded the 37th regiment, Sir C O
Rofs being tick, was killed. Colontl Com
Ludlow, as we have stated has loft, an V
arm.
Sir William F.rlkine, who command- -pj, e
1 ed another column, wasfaid to have met
with a very superior number of the p
French at Comines, to which he had p rol
advanced* The Hefiians who were
with him, fonghi. mod bravely, and g
the Emperor's troops, who were to
join fomeof the coluitius, caine up op- "
portunely, and obliged the Carmag
noles to retreat.
The above check, by no means so
confidcrable, as it was at firft represent- Thi
ed, has not had much effedt upon the
•spirits of the British army. On the TIII
20th, his Royal Highness gave it out b
in general orders, " That he thanked
the troops for their bravery and good To
■conduct in the late engagement with the j
enemy, who, owing to their great fu- W1
periority of numbers, and the ground
on which they engaged, had obtained j
some tiifling advantage, in their having rp n
been obliged to abandon to them some (
of their t but he traded that p o|
fueh a ciretimftance would not dispirit
the army he had the honor to command,
and he hoped that in a (hort time, they '
would repay with interest, any loss they
' had sustained."
Colonel Craig, Adjutant-General of
the British army ia Fianders, arrived in Bi
town this morning.

From a Boston Paper.
THE Star, that paves the blue serene,
Or fparkjes on the brow of even,
Courts from the Sun that lucid mien,
Which gems the glittering mine of
heaven.
The Breeze, that spreads its Caflia
wing,
Perfumes the breath offcentlefs air
From rich bouquets, which jocund
fpi ing
Selects gay parterre
Thus too, Philenia, miife supreme,
Whose clear, rtflefting pages thine,
Like the translucent chryftsl stream,
The Mirror of a foul Divine :
Thus, from thy lyre Menander's ear
The song -iufpii'd vibration caught ;■
Thus, from thy hand, his temples wear
A witaih, which thon alone haft
wrought.
To thee his muse afpir'd with pride,
And feal'd her carrol with thy name,
Whose signet gave, what heaven deni
ed—
A pafiport at the door of Fame.
True Merit {hines with native light,
Obscurest (hades ne'er cloud its blaze;
For, diamond-like, it gilds the night,
And dazzles with uuborrow'd rays.'
Hence, ivith a zeal of equal flame,
The Wotld has with Philenia vied,
While admiration wing'd hei" fame,
And modest merit blufh'd to hide.
But, ah, thy ltivifh praise forbear!
'Twere tiiaduefs to believe it due;
For norie, but Nature's fondeft care,
Deserves a glance of Fame from you.
To me no charmS of verse belong ;
The tints of every " ClasTic" grace
Mild Contemplation, nurse of song,
Beafn'd from thy mufe-iHiirnin'd face_
: When thy " lorn Pathos" fills the gale,
Wild Fancy learns of Truth to weep,
• Romance forgets her tragic tale.
And Werter lulls his griefs to fieep,
; Serene, amid the burlling ftoriii,
You check the phreneied paffioti'i
i scope,
' And, radiant as an angel form,
1 Sinile bn the deSth-carv'd urn of

I Thy inagic tears leave {lander tttute,
