If Luhin feizv- a rude embrace, And I begin to clatter : The rcgue flares gravely in my face, And alks me what's the matter? Of kiflVs lately he Hole three I fhrierked with might and main ; -Since you don't like them, pert quoth he, Lord 1 take them back again. No, no, I wont, faid I, keep off, They pleafe me much, I fwore Oh, is it fo ? crifci lie, enough ; Then, Mifs, you wilh for more. Foor Colin turns, if I but frown, All white as any fleece is 1 Lubin would give me a green gown, And rumage me to pieces. The one fo meek and complaifant, All filrnce,avr, and wonder ; The other, impudence and rnt, And boiftetous as the thunder. This begs to prefs my finger's tip, So btfhful is my lover ; That fav-ige bounces on my lip, And kilTes it all over. O Modefty thou art fo fweet ! Not wild, and bold, and teazing ; And yet cnclf filter nymph I meet, Thinks boldnefs not unpleultng. This is a wicked world !0 dear ! And wickednefs is in me Tho Modcity's loiwert, I fear Th.t Impudence will win me.

On an appeal from the court of Faihion.

The court being now fufficiently advifed concerning the premifes, delivered in the following opinion, to wit : In the court below, mif Flippant, charged mifs Modefty, with wearing long fleaves,.to hide the blemifhes of her arms, a clofe handkerchief, to conceal the grofs nefs and freckles of her neck and bofom, and feveral underdreffes to prevent a difcovery of the mifhapes of her perfon, contrary to the exnrefs order of that court, and a-

gainlt the peace and dignity of fociety. Thefe charges were not denied by mifs Modefty, who ftated

that there was no authority prevent her wearing what drefs fhe pleafed. It is the opinion of thjs court, that mifs Modefty has been guilty of a grofs impolition on fov ciety, and that her defence is not tenable by the rules of this court ; and that the court afited righteoufly in decreeing that her fleves fhould be cut off fix inches above her elbows ; that fhe lhould go with her bofom bare, for the term of fix months ; and never be per mitted to cover it but with a thin gauze veil, thereafter. That ihe fhould wear no underdrefs, except &c. and that her frock fhould be altered to correfpond with the pre

fent fliapes of her perfon, fo that all the delineations of her form may be obfervable to focicty. From this fentence mifs Modefty appealed ; it is therefore ordered by the court that the faid judgment be affirmed. Ordered that the court be adjourned until court in courfe.

Your legitimate lord, I ought to fay your father, fecks you, come & place yourftives under his banners, his heart bleeds ;o fee you

under foreign domination, you, his faithful ones, return to be the children of Auliria, do not niihmdcr (land his precious title! Aultrian armies, more numerous than ever, more animated, more patriotic will enter your country, look on them as brethren, as children of the fame father ; unite with them and follow the example of all the people who render homage to the Aultrian throne. In a word, behave in every thing as you have done recently to the admiration of the uhole of Europe. Tyrolians ! God is with us, we do not feek new conquelts, but we will bring back to the bofom of our imperial &gracious father brethren who have been detached from him. I Nothing will refill us, nothing can

vanqutfh us, if we unite for our happinefs and for the preservation of our exiltence. Believe me Tyrolians, God is with us. (Signed FRANCIS.

three thoufand waggons, with bag. gage, and all their military chells, is the refill t of the rapidity ofyour marches and courage.
