POFF your hats and shew your man ners, Porters, heavers, tars and tanners: Marrow-bones, and tleavers ring, Freedom ! George ! and Riot ! Sing. Sons of Thames and boys of Shannon, Snap yotircrackers, pounce your cannon, Stun our ears in George's cause, Keep the road and break the laws ! Soon as diifky night comes in, Then set up your horrid din ; Every hintfe that dares refufe To illuminate -— abuse ! Break their windows, patriots do, What are window-lights to you. You who fcai'ee have ever known Any thing but steel or stone, Mifchiet's all your liberty, Hearts of oak be bold be free. You by Freedoms gales are waft on, Visit Stanhope, Eaton, Jordan! Slam and flu ft) and storm their gates, Break their democrat ic pates. Girls exalt your voices now, Buftie, romp, and scream for Howe. No mote fliall Howe's vi&crftous name, Be made the feoff of lying Fame ? Fame !—hang the lying noily (trumpet } Singe her tail and break her trumpet} Bid herkifs your " betfef end !"

WHILST busy mortals various schemes pursue, All have some fav'lite object still in view; Thro' different roads each seeks the phantom fame f £ The means di verified—the end the fame. Tliro' ranks of lioftile foes the Soldier flies, Heroic ardour slashing from his eyes, Braves eveiy danger; nay, exultinj bleeds, That future (lory may record his deeds The Mifer't niggard foul, confin'd to felf, Who wades thro' infamy and dirt for pelf: Deat to the orphan's cry, the widow's plaint, (In hopes hereafter to be thought a faint) By pompous will bequeaths the ill got ft ore To build a church—or alms house for the poor! The rigid Moralist, with pen sublime, Preaching in solemn prose— or turirid rhyme, Expedts, while teaching others how to die, His name shall soar to immortality. Since to this fav'rite end all urge their pow'rs, Why lhould we blush to own—this aim is ours ? And while each night we try, with mimic *rt, To banilh care, wake joy, amend he heart, Inftruftion with amusement, sweetly blend, And make gay Pleasure, modest Virtue's ■ friend, Hope, chearing Hope, foretells in such a cause, You, who inspire th' attempt—will fmik applaufc. Where freedom dwells, the Muses will repair, They love thj mansions of the Brave and fair; For here—th' unfetter'd, elevated mind, Can rove—thro' fancy's regions uncon- Can paint each thought—each wish, devoid of fear, No lawless prisons, racks or chains are here. Thrice happy land ! whose sons un daunted stood Again ft opprefiion pUrchased with their blood Their Country's Freedom ! in Colum bia's cause, To guard her liberties—support her laws, Again, with eager haste, they grasp the sword, Hearts, voices, hands unite with one accord. See her brave youth advance !—un- taught to fear, To guard that pile—their fathers— died to rear ; Aw'd by their frown—fell Discord wings her flight To the dark regions of eternal night ; Domestic jars and discontent (hall cease. And all to come—be unity and peace. This blifsful profpccl—our success insures! (Tlio' to condemn or to reward—be yours,) Wliilft from our * motto's plan, we never swerve, You'll not withold the meed—we labour to defcrve. » * Pltafure the means—The end Virtve. From the at Hanover, (N. HJ A Parisian Gazette, of recent date, con tains a pompous description of the " Feast to the Deity." Meili-s. Colon #c Spondee think this entertainment another striking proof of the bnuarrt character of the French—The works of their own Kncr clopcdifts might have prevented the jaco bin club from going to market to collect viands for a feaft to God.

Your Festival is both, inconsistent and ariftocratical; inconsistent, as it militates w ih your vaunted belief in those atheisti cal creeds, which, with more than Roman chathohc devotion, you repeat from our works ; and ariftocratical, as "it virtually acknowledges a Monarch of the Universe, ail idea abhorrent from every principle of hqaliiy.

POLISH AFFAIRS. From the Berlin Gazette. Warsaw, June 24. The Ruffian generaal Derfeldt pro fited by the advantage gained over us at Chelme on theßt.i; he marched im mediately for Pulawi, and pursuing the right bank of the Vistula he has ap proached this pkn • without much in terruption. General Mukionofki has j iti vain attempted to oppoie him, and | equally vain have been the efforts of ; Kofciulko, who is ported eight leagues j from hence, between Varieck and Gnra. | To these cruel alarms are added our | iears ot a famine; we have only eight days provihons left. It is true that the ( lnpreme council has seized all the ma gazines which the emperor had sent by the Viltula to his array; but, ala 3 I how infufficient are those for the con sumption of the vail number of persons contained in this great town. Discou ragements meet us every where. Our great men have betaken themfelv. s to flight, the Burgefles tremble for their property, and the majority begin to muimur. Juiltf 21. On Sunday lalt, about 700 wounded Ruffians and Poles arrived here from the army of Ztiionzeck and other corps. They were conduced with great pomp to the hospital established at the palace of Branicki. At the fame time several Franfifca-.i friars left their cloyfters, and marched to join the army in defence of the liberties of their country. PRUSSIAN-HEAD QUARTERS Konjlie, in Poland, June 28.

Fliis day we are continuing' march to Opozeno and thence to Gnow lodx in order if possible, to cut off all communication between the enemy and Warsaw, and bu'ng them into a very critical situation. A conliderable corps of Ruffian troops is approaching on the other fide of the Vistula, from Lublin and Lithunia. LONDON. !
