They stripped him of every thing, even of his razors, par mésure de sureté générale; and he was two months without shaving.

At the end of eight months, General O'HARA grew so ill, that his Surgeon absolutely insisted on his walking in the Court of the Palace, or Prison. At first, they were allowed to buy their meals, but afterwards forced to feed all together *.

During General O'HARA's stay in prison, he daily saw the numberless victims of ROBESPIERRE'S † cruelty led to execution; and was as constantly given to understand that the same fate was preparing for himself. Two Monsters, more atrocious than any except their Master, ROBESPIERRE, were his companions at table. Their names were JAUBERT and LEBON. The former had saved many women of rank, on certain conditions; and, what is

General O'HARA had a black Servant, whom he brought up from his infancy the poor fellow, on being seated opposite to his Master at table, burst into tears, and declared he could not eat before him.

+ There were persons called des faiseurs des Listes, and these Lists were made as they pleased, and of course only those persons who could buy these wretches, had a chance of escaping. General O'HARA confirms the truth of Madame de Bois-BERENGER's heroism, which is related by Miss WILLIAMS and others, and says, that the intrepidity of all the victims, either innocent or guilty, was astonishing. He one day met another Madame de BERENGER in the Court, with her hair cut off; and on his inquiring the reason, she answered, "Voudriez vous 66 que je me laisasse toucher les Cheveux par ces Gueux de Boureaux ?" for she knew she was to be executed immediately. Children of ten years old were slaughtered, as well as old Men and Women of eighty. The poor Duchess of ORLEANS was confined in a room in the Luxembourg, without attendants of any kind, although she had lost the use of her limbs. The female Prisoners used to get to her by stealth, and take her out of her bed in the morning, and replace her in it at night. She was absolutely in want of common necessaries.

After a detention of fourteen months, General O'HARA was removed to a Maison d'Arrêt, where he had the liberty of walking about Paris, accompanied by a Gens d'Arms, and at length, on account of his health, was allowed to go to Chantilly, where he remained till he bought his way out of France in the beginning of July, 1795.

POETRY.

FOR the two following Poems we are indebted to unknown Correspondents.

They could not have reached us at a more seasonable period.

JAUBERT used to boast of this in the Luxembourg. LEBON was guilty of a trait so atrocious as to surpass all ever read of in History. At Arras, where he was Supreme, a very beautiful woman applied to him to save her husband-he promised to do it on the conditions above-mentioned, and after having driven her to this dreadful extremity, told her, that next morning he would deliver her husband into her hands. She came, and he told her she might return in two hours and receive him; she came again, and he led her to a window, from whence she saw her husband's head taken off. So far the story has had its parallel: but what followed surpasses all belief. In an agony of despair, she turned to this human tiger, uttering execrations on him, and Vive le Roi! He ordered her to instant death; and when she was brought on the scaffold, as he stood at the window, he cried out to the Executioner "Attendez un instant;" and ordered her to be exposed naked to the waist for a few minutes, before her head was severed from her body. Such a trait alone, would serve to dishonour a whole Nation; and this monster escaped, and we believe still exists!!

The former, we trust, describes the feelings common to every Inhabitant of this Country.

The second, we know too well, is expressive of the sentiments of our Enemies.

FOR THE ANTI-JACOBIN.

Lines written at the Close of the Year, 1797.

LOUD howls the storm along the neighbouring shore,
BRITAIN indignant hears the frantic roar:
Her generous Sons pour forth on every side,
Firm in their Country's cause-their Country's pride!
See wild Invasion threats this envied Land:
Swift to defend her, springs each Social Band;
Her white rocks echoing to their chearful cry,
"God and our King," "England and Victory!"

Yes! happy BRITAIN, on thy tranquil Coast
No Trophies mad Philosophy shall boast;
Though thy disloyal Sons, a feeble band,

Sound the loud blast of Treason through the Land,
Scoff at thy dangers with unnatural mirth,
And execrate the Soil which gave them birth,
With jaundiced eye thy splendid Triumphs view,
And give to FRANCE, the palm to BRITAIN due;—
Or, when loud strains of gråtulation ring,
And lowly bending to the ETERNAL KING
Thy Sovereign bids a Nation's praise arise
In grateful incense to the fav'ring Skies-
Cast o'er each solemn scene a scornful glance,
And only sigh for ANARCHY and FRANCE.
Yes! unsupported Treason's Standard falls,
Sedition vainly on her Children calls,

While Cities, Cottages, and Camps, contend,
Their King, their Laws, their Country, to defend.

Raise, BRITAIN, raise thy sea-encircled Head,
Round the wide world behold thy Glory spread,
Firm as thy Guardian Oaks thou still shalt stand,
The dread and wonder of each hostile land;
While the dire Fiends of Discord idly rave,
And, mad with anguish, curse the severing Wave:
QUEEN of the OCEAN, lo! she smiles serene,
'Mid the deep horrors of the dreadful scene;
With heartfelt piety to Heav'n she turns-

From Heav'n the flame of British Courage burns-
She dreads no power but Hrs who rules the ball,
At whose "great bidding" Empires rise and fall;
In HIM, on peaceful Plain, or tented Field.
She trusts, secure in His protecting Shield-

GALLIA, thy threats she scorns-BRITAIN shall never yield.

"ARMY OF ENGLAND,"

With Notes by the Translator.

GOOD Republicans all,

The Directory's call

Invites you to visit JOHN BULL;

Oppress'd by the rod

Of a KING and a GOD *.

The cup of his misery's full.

Old

General DANICAN, in his Memoirs, tells us, that while he was in Command, a Felon who had assumed the name of BRUTUS, Chief of a Revolutionary

Old JOHNNY shall see

What makes a man FREE;

Not Parchments, nor Statutes on Paper ;

And stript of his Riches,

Great Charter, and Breeches,

Shall cut a FREE Citizen's caper,

Then away, let us over

To Deal, or to Dover

We laugh at his talking so big;
He's pamper'd with feeding,

And wants a sound bleeding

Par Dieu! he shall bleed like a pig!

JOHN, tied to the stake

A grand baiting will make,

When worried by Mastiffs of France
What REPUBLICAN FUN!

To see his blood run,

As at Lyons, La Vendée, and Nantz*.

Revolutionary Tribunal at Rennes, said to his Colleagues, on Good Friday, "Brothers, we must put to death this day, at the same hour the "Counter-Revolutionist CHRIST died, that young Devotée who was "lately arrested." And this young Lady was guillotined accordingly, and her corpse treated with every possible species of Indecent insult, to the infinite amusement of a vast multitude of spectators.

*The Reader will find in the Works of PETER PORCUPINE (a spirited and instructive Writer) an ample and satisfactory Commentary on this and the following Stanza. The French themselves inform us, that, by the several modes of destruction here alluded to, upwards of 30,000 persons were butchered at Lyons, and this once magnificent City almost levelled to the ground, by the command of a wretched Actor (COLLOT D'HERBOIS) whom they had formerly hissed from the Stage. From the same authorities we learn, that at Nantz 27,000 persons, of both sexes, were murdered; chiefly by drowning them in plugged boats. The waters of the Loire became putrid, and were forbidden to be drank, by the Savages who conducted the massacre. That at Paris, 150,000, and in La Vendée 300,000 persons were destroyed. Upon
