POETICAL ASYLUM THE LIFE OF A BEAU. HOW brimful of nothing's the life of a beau, Thry'ye nothing to think of, they've noi thing to do ; lor nothing to talk of, for nothing they ' know l Such, fuch is the life of a beau, &c

For nothing they rife, but to draw the frefh

air ;

5pend the morning in qothing, but curling their hair, And do nothing all day, but ling, f3unter and IVare Such, fuch is, lie. i i - nntliJnfr nit fit. t rTflV linnfe

they croud, To mind nothing done there they always 4?re proud ; But to bow, and to grin, and talk nothing aloud : Such, fuch is, Sec v. - For nothing they run to th1 affembly and ,;- ball, And for nothing at cards a fiir partner they call : And they flillmufl be beaded, who'v; nothing at all : Such, fuch is, &c , For nothing, on Sundays, at chufch they appear ; For thry've nothing to hope, nor they've nothing to fear : They can be nothing no where, who

nothing are here : Such, fuih is, kt.

If there is fuch a thing as treaion and rebellion againft the govern merit and order of the woi hi, she is the ci imi ual ; and if there'were a competent execu live, ai med with the means of inflicling the metited punifhment, death would be the fen tence. 'I he good of the whole world require thai this offender, hardened beyond all hopes of reclamation, be put out of exiltence,, and if there hjullice in heaven it mult come down upon her. It is a belief, formed from the mod plaufible iufeteiueh, that if England had not interfered in the chfpute between the roy ahlts and republicans or France the affairs of that nation would have been fettled without creating difturbancis beyond its boundaries. England may thcretoi e be coniidered asalmolt the lolc caufe of that unhappy Uate of things which has rcfulted. from the French revolution, and of thofe dreadful evils that have lprung from the lame lource, and overwhelmed other nations. If this be correct (he has been thegrearelt curie that has fallen on the human race lince the days ot that barbanfm who was precminently fliled the scource of God. It is a truth palpable and undeniable beyond all qucttion and doubt, that England Is the causa cauuvun: if not the immediate arid dirccl caufe of all the evils of an cmbarrafled com

States, the world would now witnefs a millenium compared to what it fees. inch as have been detailed are but a part of the very. many provocations we have received from England, and which would have jultilied, and indeed demand from us a declaration of war againlt her. But availing ourfelves of a neutral's privilege to temporife and pat ley with dilhonor for the fake ct intereft, without abfolutely degrading ourfelves, ue have hitherto remained exempt from the evils of war ; but it feems we are no longer permuted to be io. The violence applied to force us from our neutral pofitiou has -become irrefutable. We are hunted by our implacable, purfuer from every Jiole and corner to which we have fled tor a pretext' to retain peace with honor. We have told her, 4 do us but that jultice which we exacl from your enemy, and we remain friends forever,' but fhe mocks at our offers and reduplicates her infulcs and injuries on us". However abhorrent to our feelings and inclinations, it ieems we muft become indrumental in battening thecatartrophe of her fate. She compels her lad friend 'to become her enemy, and, Brutus like, gi-ve her the reluctant, fatal ftab. 'She has wantonly devoted herlcU to ruin Ihe has outlawed herJelf froru the community of nations ; and will foon have fno refource for fubfiltence but in piracies arid plunder. The grafp fhe now meditates on American commerce will probably furnifh the iaff meal to this all devouring monfier before her final diflolution.
