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. In the lower Castle-yard are the treasury and other offices, and near them are buildings for keeping military stores, and an arsenal and armoury for 40,000 men.

VICE, "

THE COURT OF VICE.

AN APOLOGUE..

By George Lns, Esq.

on a solemn night of state,
In all the pomp of terror sate,"
Her voice in deep tremendous tone,
Thus issu'd from her ebon throne:
This night, at our infernal court,
Let all our Ministers resort;

Who most annoys the human race,
At our right hand shall take his place,
Rais'd on a throne, advanc'd in fame-
Ye Crimes, now vindicate your claim.

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.

THEFT next appears to claim the station,
E'er constant in his dark vocation;

He thought the place might well repay
The crime that labour'd night and day.

FRAUD own'd (though lothe to speak his praise) He gain'd his point by secret ways; His voice in cities had been heard, And oft in senates been preferr'd : Yet much derision had he borne, Treated by honest fools with scorn. His influence on the Western shore Was not so great as heretofore : He own'd each side alike assail'd, Complain'd how sadly he was rail'd: Yet if some honour should requite His labour-things might still go right.

MURDER before the footstool stood,
With tatter'd robe distain'd in blood;
And who, he cry'd, with daring face,
Denies my title to the place?
My watchful eyes mankind survey,
And single out the midnight prey:
Not coward-like I meet the foe,
With footsteps insecure and slow;

Or cause his death by languid strife~
Boldly this dagger ends his life.

Give back, ye Crimes, your claims resign,

For I demand the post as mine.

AV'RICE declar'd, for love of gold,

His nation, or himself he sold ;
He taught the sin of pride betimes;
Was foster-father of all crimes :
He pawn'd his life, he stak'd his soul,
And found employment for the whole :
Acknowledg'd that he gain'd his wealth,
By fraud, by murder, and by stealth:
On one so useful in her cause,
VICE well might lavish due applause.

The haggar'd host bow low the head; The Monster rose, and thus she said: Ye ministers of Vice, draw near, For fame no longer persevere; No more your various parts disclose: Men see and hate you all as foes. One yet remains among your crew,— Then rise, SEDUCTION! claim your due. Your baleful presence quickly parts The tie which holds the happiest hearts; You rob what wealth can ne'er repay! 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;
Whose steps decoy unwary youth
From honour, honesty, and truth;
Which, follow'd, 'till too late to mend,
In ruin, and the gallows end-

Be thine the post. Besides, who knows
Where all thy consequences close?-
With thee, SEDUCTION! are ally'd
Horror, Despair, and Suicide.

You wound-but the devoted heart
Feels not alone the poignant smart:
You wound-th' electric pain extends
To fathers, mothers, sisters, friends;
Murder may yet delight in blood,
And deluge round the crimson flood;
But sure his merits rank above,

Who murders in the MASK Of Love!
