A lovely charmer trip along?
Should a fair wand'rer hither rove,
To her enchanting, artless fong?

Whose cheeks the rofe outvie;
Beauteous as Venus, queen of love,
And charmer of the sky:

It is my Delia,-gentle maid,

The nymph whom I revere:
By mighty love my bofom's fway'd,
And the reigns empress there.
Then, thepherd, tell to her my pain ;

Ah! he may piteous prove:
No longer let me figh in vain,

With her, I'd fhare my humble cot,
And, lingering, die for love.

And freely part my fold;"
And happier, fure, would be my lot
Than thofe who fhine in gold.

In the midft of the extraordinary expenses of the war, the plan for redeeming the debts of the ftate has been ftrictly adhered to in confequence of which, a fum amounting to more than twentyfive millions of rials has been paid off in the course of this year. This money has been depofited in the cheft with three keys, to be employed in paying the royal bills which have been iffued to that amount.

The fucceffes of the French army have infpired the Venetian arifiocracy with the greateft terror. As the Auftrians fly in all directions into the territories of the republic, and many even take refuge at Meftre and Fuftina, the conquerors, it is feared, will purfue them as far as Lagunes, and threaten Venice itself.
