Poetical.

FROM THK WASHINGTON GAZETTE. Give me a demijohn of gall, K A pen of cane reed, split with a broad-axe, A sheet of paper broad as Congress Hall, And vig'rous nerves as tough at coolers' wax. Let me be starved and poor arid meanly clad, Encircle me with duns to make me mad; Coddle my skullpit with the flames of brandy, Then let me write how much I hate a dandy. Ye mincing, squinting, smockfaced pretty things, With corsets laced as tight as fiddle-strings; Cho ik'd as" a toad and supple as a cat, About the waist D iharp, the pate B flat Ye cringing, superserviceable slaves,

Ye self co'npiicent, brainless, heartless

knaves; Yc lizard-looking apes with catfish cills,

Ye scoundrels, go and pay your Taylors

of the continent. While waiting for the decision of the cabinets, which it is not difficult to foresee, our ministerial journals have suddenly changed their tone. The Quotidienne (but it is not ministerial,) is very frank upon the subject. It loudly confesses the importance of the declaration of Mr. Canning it censures his conduct with severity, and threatens, tor the future, a dangerous re action The British cabinet (says this journal ) must not be astonished, if their own principle be applied to themselves. They can have nothing to object, if it should happen some day that ttussia. taking advantage of some of those insurrections so frequent

in India, should acknowledge, influenced by the interests oHts commerce, the independence of Bengal. Ceylon, or the kingdom of Mysore This emancipation, it is true, would injure the interests of the East India Company, but the fact could no longer be doubted, for the people of India had long since given evident proofs of their stability.
