Real Beauty.
All symmetry is JULIA’S foce—
Her cheek’s all bloom—her forchead
faire
‘What lips | what eyes !—yet can 1 trace
But little veal beauty there.
LAURA has pass’d youth's earliest prime,
A sweet, but rather faded Bower:
But LAURA’S charms, invidious Time !
Defy thy beauty-spoiling power.
without fair JULIA’S lip or check,
To fascinate the sensual eye,
LLAURA’S diviner beauties speak,
And to the heart resistiess fly.
They dwell not in the dimplie’s place,
Nor in the eye’s seductive roll :
They shine in many a namcless grace,
A bright intelligence of SOUL.
Happy the man whose amorous sigh
That breast to tender thoughts shall
moye—-
On whom that soul-illumin’d eve
Shall beam with intellectand LOVE.

MORTALITY AND IMMORTALITY:
BY S. OSBORNE.
What is this body !--Fragile, faily
As vegetation’s tender leaf—
Transient as April’s fitful gale,
And as the flashing meteor brief.
When long this miserable frame
Has vanish’d from life’s busy scene,
This earth shall roll, that sun shall flame,
As thou this dust had never been !
What is thy soul ?—Eternal Mind
Unlimited as thought’s vast range~——
By groveling matter unconfined !—
The same, whilst states and empires
charge.
When suns have waned, and worlds sub-
lime
Their final revolutions told,
This soul shall triumph over time,
As though such o:bs had never roli’d !

MINISTERIAL MOBS :—
Or a new way to crush rebellion by rais-
ing one.
The late attack on the prince regent is
evidently a ministerial, trick, merely to
counteract the measures of the mayor
and alderman of the city of London, and
to check the progress of petitions from
various parts of the nation. A ministe-
rial mob has of late years been the policy
of the court party when they find the dis-
tresses of the people begin to excite a
eneral commotion to obtain a redress.
‘he disturbance. which took place
at the time of sir George Gordon’s riots,
have impressed upon the public mind such
a dread of mobbish insurrections, that the
ministry have ever since had recourse
to this mode of suppressing the clamour
against the government. The whole
story of the attack and firing bullets, car-
ries in it a probability, that the whole pro-
ceeding was under the immediate manage-
ment of the prince regent’s party.
Stones thrown that did not break the glass
and bullets fired into a carriage without
any apparent injury are too probable
to be admitted as arising from the designs
of a mob, who were determined to execute
some desperate deed of a sanguinary na:
ture. The proceedings were just cal-
culated to give a tone to the proceedings
of parliament, aud to check the energies
of those members who were desirous to
pursue those measures for the obtainment
of a redress of grievances. The petitions
of the peuple in behalf of themselves, were
to give way for the sympathies to be ex-
cited for the security of the prince regent.
We find that this has already been dis-
played in parliament, and the mayor and
alderman of London have since came for
ward with » submissive address of con-
dolence, that has extinguished all that fire
which was embodied in thei™emonstrance.
The papers will now be filled with con-
gratulatory addresses for the preservation
of his royal highness, and a sufficient bo-
dy of soldiers will be raised to suppress
cvery movement made by the opposers of
the administration. The powerful voice
of the manufacturers will be silenced by
the reiterated clamour against the a-
gents who dared to attack the sacred
person of royalty with pistols & brickbats.
The person of the regent will now be
more sacredly preserved, than the rights
of the people maintained. —Ministers know
the pride of Englishmen in relation to
the monarchy, and they have learnt the
art to suppress all attempts to a national
reform, by representing the person of
imajecty 23 being hozerded in the eqund-;
ble to obtain it. .& Plois” wil become!
ithe order of the dey, {pretty much as
the «reign of terror,”
regent.
in protecting royaity, and all the powers
of Europe will be called on to suppress
a rebellion which strikes at the basis of
“legitimacy.”
This mob trick of the ministry is
the most deceptive policy that can be
adopted, as it deceives the most ignorant,
and even the most Tnzeiligent——such per-
sous beng desirous’ to obtain a redress
of their wrongs if they can effect 1t in a
rational Jnanner, but are alarmed and de-
sist tech their pursyits when they find
that persojal danger thiestens the re
presentative’ of monarchy. | Thus aveithe
virtuous cfforts of ap injure
fled by their opponents, by procuring the
very mischief which theys pretended to
reprobate. A ministerial fob 1s under
a complete system of disgipling; they
knew how to throw stonesfat the prince
without striking him, aud fire a brace of
bullets into his coach withgut doing any
“ essential injury.” «Fhe lord in waiting
can swallow the balls if necessary, or
carty off with as much facility as
M’Ginnis, or any other slight of hand
mountebank.
We hope the peaple of England will
not be deceived by such tricks, but pur-
suc with a steady course the great woik
they have undertaken. And may the
Almighty prosper them in all their un-
dertakings, and bafllc the witty projects
of their encmies.—May king-cralt aud
priest-cralt be consigned to the lowest
depths of perdition.

By the arrival of the ship Ann Maria,

have received London papuvs to the 14thy

of popular uneasiness, arrests of rowers,
&c. A meeting was adverused tobe held
at Manchester, on the 10th March. Onl
the proceedmg day, the printer of the note
ficaticn, and an orator by the name of Jou-
ston, were arrested and lodged in sale cus
tody. The meeting was beld notwithstan:
ding the next morning, and by 9 o'clock
about 9000 persons were assembled. he
avowed plan was to march to London, to
present petitions for parliamentary reform,
and about one thousand actually set outon
the journey. = Arrangements, however, had
been made by the magistrates to interupt
the execution ofthe project, and about il
o’clock, whilst the speakers were display-
ing their oratorical talents, the magistrates,
officers and troops, came suddenly upon
them; ard took the leaders, managers.
and orators, with all their papers, intosafe
custody. The ringleaders were sent to
prison. ' Some peace Jers, troops, &c.
set off after the persons who had proceeded
on their way to ‘Loudon, expecting to be
followed by their leaders with money, &c.
and before night 200 of them were lodged
in prison. Several of the principals were
sent off to London.
At Glasgow, 14 persons have been com-
mitted on the charge of conspiring against
the government, and taking an unlawful
oath. :
The following account of the execution
of Cashman, cne of the Spafield rioters, is
taken from the London Star of March the
12th. ;
EXECUTION OF CASHMAN.
A considerable crowd of people continu-
ed nearly the whole of yesterday evening,
viewing the preparations making mn Skin-
ner street for the execution of Cashman,
the sailor, condémned for being concerned
in stealing fire-arms during the riots on
the second of December last, from the shop
of Mr. Beckwith, gun maker, in that street
and in front of which the execution was
ordered to take place. A very large ares
was formed by posts sunk in the grounc
and connected iron chains, and the platform
was erected in the innermost part. Al
the streets and avenues leading to the
place were also barricaded, to prevent the
access of carriages or horses. The work-
men in the course of these operations,
were assailed with much groaning and
nissing from the multitude. “is
The unfortunate convict took his leave
of his friends during yesterday afternoon
with great composure. He said be had

GUESS WORK.
When I hear parents biustering and
scolding, I gucss their children are saucy
and disobedient,
Wien 1 see many whips stuck up ina
merce too.
When I hear small children swearing at
each other out of doors, I guess their pa-
rents quarrel and fight in the house.
Wien 1 hear children ery for any thing
they want, 1 guess they have been paid to
ciying before; and when I sce puvents
give them what they want before tiey stop
ciying, 1 guess they wil know how to got
what they want next time. -
VW hen Isee children permitted to stare
a stranger in the face, and to meddle with
his whip, hat and gloves, 1 guess the pa-
rents are squatiers, and the children aie
brought up ior rogucty.
When I hear children permitted to ask
strangers a great many impertinent ques-
tions, 1 guess they will never be able to an-
sw many: pettiaent ones.
When I heara child tell its parents it
wont, I guess it was never made to mind,
and never will be, til some evil officer
does it. : ;
When hear parents threaten to skin
their children alive, I guess their children
know they wiil lie, and wont mind much
what they say.
When 1 hear parents threaten to beat
their children’s brains out, I guess if they
are legitimate children they have none to
spare, and it they should strike where
their brains lay, I guess they would siiike
are.
Whe I see children indulged in tale.
bearing, I guess their parents have few
good neighbors.
When I hear parents use unchaste con-
versation before their, children, I guess
they will see the time when they will wish
they were well married. : :
When 1 see parents laugh. at the lies
their children ‘tell to deceive and play
tricks upon others, I guess they will cry
when they hear the end of the play.
When 1 hear children call their parents
fools, I guess they tell the truth.
