daughter of the upright and enlightened Lord Kilwarden presented herself to the guard stationed there, half distracted with the horror of having seen her father and cousin, the reverend Mr. Wolfe, torn from their carriage by a set of desperadoes, and mortally pierced by her side with pikes. For some time the soldier on duty, observing her without shoes, covered with mud, her frenzied eye and faultering voice, regarded her as a maniac. It was the first information of this insurrectional movement which the government received, or having received, regarded.

By George Lns, Esq. on a solemn night of state, Who most annoys the human race, Eager for praise, the hideous host All spake, aspiring to the post. PRIDE said, to gain his private ends, He sacrific'd his dearest friends; Insulted all with manners rude, And introduc'd ingratitude; 'Twas he infus'd domestic hate, And party spirit, in the state :: Hop'd they'd observe, his mystic plan. Destroy'd all confidence in man, And justify'd his high pretensions,, By causing envy and dissentions. INTEMPERANCE, loud, demands the place He'd long deceiv'd the human race; None could such right as he maintain, Disease and Death were in his train.

Like Judas, with a kiss betray; Hence come the starving, trembling train, Who prostitute themselves for gain; Whose languid visages impart A smile, while anguish gnaws the heart; Be thine the post. Besides, who knows You wound-but the devoted heart Who murders in the MASK Of Love! MANNERS OF THE ABIPONS AND SOME OTHER SAVAGE NATIONS IN THE PROVINCE OF LA PLATA, IN SOUTH AMERICA.
