There is a double disadvantage, therefore, in this jimt-

and secondly, the Legislative Body, and the people them-

lic ambition, and, thercin, of one of the greatest incite.

(From the Greenock Advertiser of the 4th of April,1814.)
To the surprize and diappointment of every person con.
nected with the Wese Lud.a colonies, it has been announ-
ced (official y, we areiuformed) that it is net expected
iny convoy will be appoiited tu sail from thence before
the month of May. ‘This unaccountable neglect of the
best interests of the couniry may be attended with the
Mos serious consequences. At the colonics of Surinam,
Berbice, aid Demerary alone, there were upwards of 50
sail of vessels fully loaded on the Ist of February, besides
thout the same wumber in the windward Islands; and, at;
that time it was daily expected that a ship of war would.

Do Idreaw! or do Ll wake!
Il. ihe Son of Storms no mere ?
Hle who bade the wide world shake,
Is his reign of terror o’er?
I dream !—and o’er my startl’d soul
Wild delusion still has sw ay,
Splendid visions o’er it ro I,
In the blaze of noun-tide day.
What but adccam! that he whose rod
Kept o’er the earth despotic sway,
Who breath’d defiance tu his God,
Should like a shade have pass’d away !
What but a dream—that he is now
Bencath the carth-worm, crawling vile,
Who rais’d to Heav’n his darkling brow,
Aud vicw’d its terrors with a smile,
View original What but a dream—that he is sons
Not as the mighty pass away,
But, like a wreteh to nothing burn,
Nor destin’d tu one glorions day !
What but a dream—that he has play’d
With crowns and sceptres at his will,
Now slave and robber turn’d—afraid
fis recreant heart’s blase bluud tu spill!
Besct by those he laugh’d to scorn,
Borne from his conque.’d realms away,
Goade by slaves iguobly born,
By Cossack’s spikes—his route to sway,
He who led armies, now is driven !
And is ¢his thea ne mockury—
N veoLeon woo with Fate hath strivea
fel cévcs—with power to die!
Aid can it be that g.aat inight
On carth now grov'lins lis;
That son of glory fiercely bright
Huth sunk no more to cise ;
Saran thrown down from Heav’en’s height,
Ne'er sunk so low as thee,
Stull proud in Uell—in fallen might
Aud sullen Majesty.
Where is thy Roman virtue now ?
Thy stern contempt of death—
Thou fear'st ta see thy life-bloud low—
Thou fear’st to yield thy breath!
Where is (ny vaunted firmness ilod 2
Ou, where! thou abject man!
Seco dark dishonor round thy head,
$o heard hic’s Gwindled span !
M chought dt least thou would’st have died
The death that heroes dic!
That if noch ind woud pierce they side
Thine vores would wot deny.
Methouch? L saw the: macdey rush
On thousand sear, upborue,
Disdainful view thy tdeebioud ynsh,
Aod die with smile of scora.
*T was ow'dl to an insulted world
Thy ;-roper part to know ;
From such aa height stupendous hurl’d
Never to bave sunk so low,
Yet, since thou art so base, so frail,
Greedy of life’s last sgh,
Tay a ject choice tha. nat avail—
A coward's death is nigh!
Thy guards are Cussacks—are they not
Tyrant—thou’rt now forlorn!
"Tis scarce a hove they have forgot
Thy former bitter scorn !
If they have nut—how sharp their spears!
liow swiftly rous’d their rage !
If they have not—let thy base fears
Thy shameful end presage!
A word—a look, thay rdge provoke,
Then vengeance forth will burst !
Haste then—with womui’s tears mvokey,
eforcy!—thou worm accurst,
Metnuks I sce thy shuddering blood
Crvep to pumber’d streaus,
Not roshing in a generous flood—

Around that salien stream,
Laver to din in Tyrants gore
Vheirsabre’s *parkiing gloam 3
Methink unaided, and uniuourn’d,
{ see thee ' tt to die,
Thy corse d.stigur’d, hated, scorn’d,
On cart... unburied lie !
And was it to a worm like thee,
When clad in kingly power!
That trembling Nations bent the knee,
Thou upstart of an hour!
They name shal! be a taunt of shame,
The future coward’s sting
E’en babes shall mocking lisp that name,
NaroLeon—was a King!
Methought that men would sever know
Thesecret of thy fate,
That fire from Heav’n would lay thee low,
Or change thy earthly state; .
Or, that it fail’d the lightning’s flash,
‘Thyself would guard thy name,
Unseen, beneath the wild wave dash,
An vanish—ioto fame !
But no—no comet ! thou !—no star!
A scourge in Heaw’n’s hand—
Fore-doom’d to pour forth plague and war
O’er Furope’s sinful land!
Thy task is done—Atmictity Gop!
Now casts thee far away,
A wretched despis’d worthless rod,
To moulder and decay.
