From the Monmouth Journal. PARODY. Scots wa ha sic noses red, Scots whom Gin has often led ! Welcome to your miry bed, Or to revelry. Now's the night and now'sthc hour. See the boozy tiplers lour. See the brandy bottle's powerGrog and deviltry ! Sec the waiter comes with more. We arc doomed to pay the score, We will drain our purses lower, But we'll have a spree ! Wha will be a sober knave ? Wha sae wise as 'o be grave ? Wha would be the' bottle's slave ? Let him homeward flee, Lay the chairs and tables low ! Drunkards fa' where'er they go, Noses bleed at every blow ; Let us stand or lie ! Wha for topers thirsty maw ? Bottle-corks wilt freelv draw,

It accord with our views on the subject and is entitled to more respect than all the ridiculous fabrications, false reports, and unfounded affidavits that have yet appeared. We will remark here that Brant, the Indian Mason, to whom, it is said, application was made to carry Morgan to the North, has published in York IT. C. Ohserver, an article declaring the statements' wholly false " Thus have all the statements made by the committee of invest i gation, who proceeded to Fort Niagara, been denied and proved untrue It is now reported that Morgan was on board the schooner Lady of the Lake, which vvas with all hands, lost on Lake -Ontario, in December last We know not on what authority this report is circulated, nor of its truth.

the committee of search, now that the blood on the pavement of Ft Niagara, & the midnight screaWs of the victim, and the midnight blow of the murderer, prove to be the coinage of some western ro mancer; let them search the village of Batavia, the place of course least suspected of concealing him, and let them report the result. We do not know that he is there, butbelieving, as we do firmly, that he is alive, it is our opinion that he is just cunning enough to choose that place of concealment, while men are scouring the snows of Canada, and, lor aught we know the ice of the Arctic Ocean, to discover him. Many an old gen tleman hunts about the house from the roof to the cellar, turning every thing topsy-turvy and male

The Parti Coloured Shield. In the days of knight errantry and paganism, one of the old British princes set up a statue to the Goddess of Victory, in a point where four roads met together In her right hand she held a spear, and rested her left upon a shield ; the outside of this shield was of gold and the inside of silver, and the foi mcr was in scribed in the old British Ian guage : To the Goddess ever favourable," and on the other. For four victories obtained sucessively over the Piets and other inhabitants of the northern island. It happened one day that twa knights completely armed, one hi

Meanwhile money will be pouring into the hands of Morgan and his co adjulors from the sale of his unintelligible books.
