Some Selected Reports from Pope's Bath Chronicle
Thursday, November 26th, 1761.
The LADY and the CATERPILLAR.
(Imitated from the FRENCH .)
A Lady fair, to Country Seat confin'd,
Quadrille, Ridottos, Coxcombs, left behind,
To lonely Shade of neighb'ring Grove repairs,
To muse on Conquests past, and study future Airs.
But still the CATERPILLAR'S buzzing Note.
Baffles the Scheme, and interrupts the Thought:
Noisy and rude as Beaus while on he press'd,
The Dame the saucy Insect thus address'd :
"Vile Wretch, whose odious Notes and Looks displease,
Who of their verdant Honours strip'st the Trees,
Fly, e're my just Resentment on thee fall;
Methinks e'en now I feel thy nauseous Crawl,"
"Vain are your threats and overweening Pride,
.
(The CATERPILLAR scornfully reply'd)
That gloomy Form which now offends your Eye,
Shall please, when chang'd to gaudy Butterfly;
With glitt'ring Robes adorn'd of various Hue,
In native Lustre then shall rival you.
Thus you a CATERPILLAR rise from Bed,
Till Borrow'd, Charms the fallow skin o'erspread,
And Nature's Flaws are clos'd with white and red.
Friday's and Saturday's POSTS.
Plantation News.
CHARLES-TOWN, Sept 12.
ON the 28th ult. Attakulla Kulla or the Little Carpenter, and several other Cherokee Chiefs, arrived at Col. Grant's Camp near Fort Prince George, to treat for Peace. On the 30th, (almost all the Officers of the Line present) Col. Grant acquainted them with the Conditions, which consisted of nine Articles; the first of which was, "That four Cherokee Indians should be delivered up, to be put to Death in Front of the Camp; or four green Scalps to be brought in, in twelve Nights from that Day." - They were willing to agree to all the Articles but this, to which the Little Carpenter objected, as being too severe. The next Night all the Indians, except the Little Carpenter and Fellow of no Note, went privately off.
Sept 16. Yesterday the Little Carpenter had a Conference with the Lieutenant-Governor at Ashley-Ferry. The Lieutenant Governor received him with great Civility, but has not yet given his Answer, in regard to the Mitigation of the said Article. The general Assembly of the Province, which stood adjourn'd to the 17th of November, met Yesterday by Proclamation, at Ashley-Ferry. It is believed they will advise the Governor not to recede from the first Article.
NEW-YORK, Sept 5. The only News I have to tell you from this Place is, that there is an Expedition Fleet getting ready, which it is said is destined for the West Indies : We have near 5000 of General Amherst's Troops, encamped in an Island about ten Miles from hence, and about forty Sail of Transports in the River, that are to be joined with some Ships of War from England, which Lord Howe is expected here with. They talk of nothing less than the Reduction of Martinico, and all the French Settlements in the Mississippi, with this Armament.
London, November 19.
Yesterday it was unanimously resolved, at a Court of Common-Council, That his Majesty's Statue be erected on the Royal Exchange, amongst those of his Predecessors; and the Pictures of his Majesty, and his Royal Consort, be put up in the Guildhall of this City.- And that the Committee who were appointed to prepare the late Entertainment of their Majesties and the Royal Family, do employ fit Persons, and give proper Orders and Directions for making the said, Statue, and drawing the said Pictures; and that in order thereto they do make their humble Application to his Majesty, and his Royal Consort our most gracious Queen, that they will be pleased to do this City the Honour to sit for their Pictures, and to signify their Royal Pleasure therein; and that the said Committee do at the same Time express to his Majesty the deep and grateful Sense, which this Court will ever retain of his Majesty's gracious Condescension in honouring their late Entertainment at Guildhall with his Royal Presence, and that of his most august Consort and Royal Family.
It is reported that Lady Caroline Fox will be created a Viscountess in her own Right.
Yesterday Morning a Prussian Courier arrived at the Earl of Bute's Office, with Dispatches of Importance from his Prussian Majesty.
The following Letter was sent by the Right Hon. William Pitt, to Benjamin Heath, Esq. Town-Clerk of the City of Exeter.
"Sir, - I desire you will be so good to present to Mr. Mayor, and to the Chamber of Exeter, my respectful and grateful Acknowledgements for the distinguished Honour which they have been pleased to confer upon me. Conscious of no Title to such eminent Favour, I can only feel more sensibly the Extent of their Indulgence; and forming, as I do, unceasing Vows for the Continuation of those public Blessings which have attended on national Union, O shall ever particularly rejoice, among the general Prosperities of my Country, in the Increase of the Trade, Opulence, and Lustre of the City of Exeter. -Accept, yourself Sir, my Thanks for the very obliging Manner in which you have communicated to me the Resolution of the Chamber. I am, with Regard, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant,
W. PITT
Twelve Men of War and two Bomb-Ketches are ordered to join Admiral Saunders in the Mediterranean.
Several large Ships in the River are getting ready for Privateers, in Expectation of a War breaking out with Spain.
Letters from Spain, by the Groyne Mail, say, that there is as great Expedition used in raising Forces and building Ships as was ever known; which makes it imagined that War will soon be declared by that Court against some European Power.
By a private Letter from France we are informed, that about eighty Seamen were going by Land from Boulogne, to Rochefort, where some Men of War are ready to receive them ; that the flat-bottomed Boats at Boulogne and Dunkirk are all laid up; that the French intend to make an Attempt upon Belleisle this Winter, and that they expect to see the Brest Squadron joined by 40 Spanish Men of War.
Letters by the New York Mail, say, that they had a Report that 1800 Spaniards were lately landed at Martinico from the Spanish West-Indies, intended, as supposed, to assist the French in Case any Attempt should be made by the English on that Island.
By Letters receiv'd from the India Ships just arrived from the Malabar Coast, we have an Account, that in March last the King of Candia having had a Difference with the Dutch on the Island of Ceylon, in the Beginning of that Month came down with a large Army to their Settlement of Point De Gall, took. the said Place, and put every Body to the Sword; and from thence went to their principal Settlement of Colombo, which they took, and cruelly sacrificed every Body there; and that they have cut down all the Cinnamon Trees on the said Island.
BRITANNIA : An ODE.
I.
BEGIN, celestial Choirs, or aid the Song,
Wake into willing Voice the Lyre,
The Sons of Liberty inspire,
Till Hills and Vales rebound
With Joy the grateful Sound,
And willing Echo joins the tuneful Throng
II.
But first, Thalia say, what glorious Theme
To Merit sacred shall these Strains pursue;
What Hero's matchless Deeds and deathless Name,
Claim from Fame's Trump and echoing Praise their Due.
Envy in vain her snaky Tresses rears,
In vain Detraction clasps her soaring Wings;
Charm'd into Mildness, each attentive hears,
And drops her poison'd Darts when sweet Thalia sings.
III.
Shall we seek in ancient Story
Fictious Themes for British Lays,
While our free-born Sons of Glory
Live unknown to Fame and Praise ?
While Merit scorn'd in Silence grieves,
And durst not wear the Palm that Virtue gives?
IV.
Rise, rise, Britannia, loud proclaim.
The Hero you consign to Fame;
See, Fame aloft her golden Trumpet bearing,
To thy glad Shores from distant Realms is fled,
Wreaths of choice Flouretts round her, Temples wearing,
Fresh cull'd to deck thy fav'rite Hero's Head.
V.
Thus sang the Bard;- when from the sounding Main
Reverberating Echoes fill the Plain.-
"'Hail ! Britain, shall thou happy Isle !
"Where Liberty and Virtue smile ;
"Where George with Justice bears the Sway,
"And freeborn Subjects pleas'd obey."
VI.
Thus Neptune spake, as from his oazy Bed
He gently rais'd his cerule Head :
"Here take my Trident, adds the God,
Thy Voice the subject Main obeys,
I'll seek my starry first Abode;
"Hawke, Rodney, Saunders, claim as thine the Seas.
VII.
Tritons attend - declare around,
Let Gallia hear the grating Sound;
Neptune finds his Power is vain,
For Britain only rules the Main :-
Let distant Shores to her glad Homage pay;
Britannia rules,- let distant Climes obey !
VIII.
Britannia, pleas'd awhile survey'd
The Conquest these her Sons had made;
Then she bespake the God; - 'To distant Climes'
This Truth thy Tritons will declare in vain,
How Neptune here to me his Pow'r resigns,
And hails me Empress of the subject Main.
IX.
Long have the Nations known no Pow'r but mine
Could brave the Fury of the swelling Waves,
Long have each foreign Shore and distant Clime,
Known these could ne'er be subject unto Slaves,
While my brave Sons their vengeful Thunders roll,
And stretch my Sov'reignty from Pole to Pole.
X.
Fame, round these honour'd Heads thy Laurels twine,
Triumphant Trophies to their Merit raise,
To thee Hawke, Rodney, Saunders, I consign,
Let Echo catch their Names, and waft around their Praise.
To them shall future Bards oft' string the Lyre,
And late Posterity their matchless Deeds admire."
Ireland.

STRAHANE, Nov. This Day Andrew Knox, of Prehen, Esq. one of the Knights of the Shire for the County of Donegall, coming to this Place with his Lady and Daughter, was met by John M'Naughton, about three Miles from hence, with three Ruffians armed; M'Naughton desired Mr.Knox's Coachman to stop the Carriage, or he would blow out his Brains, upon which M'Naughton immediately fired a Pistol into the Coach; and Mr.Knox returned the Fire, but neither Shot did any Hurt. M'Naughton then ran round the Coach, and putting his Head and Arm in at the Window, fired a Pistol at Miss Knox, and lodged three Slugs in her Side, just under her Stays. Mr. Knox at the same Time fired a Pistol, and shot M'Naughton in the Shoulder; upon which he went off; but was soon after taken, and lodged in Lifford Gaol. The young Lady lived but four Hours after she received the Wound.
London, November 21.

Wednesday last Robert Greenstreet, (Journeyman to Mr. Souch, Sen.

He had demanded 50s. of Mr. Souch for five Weeks Wages, but his Master refused to pay it 'till his Quarter was up, as by Agreement.
To the PRINTER of the
Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette.
BATH, Nov. 25, 1761.
SIR,- The inclosed humorous Order I received Yesterday; and will risk the Author's Displeasure (whose Name I'll keep secret) sooner than conceal it from the Public : If you'll give it a Place in your next, you will oblige your humble Servant,
William Clement.
Wade's-Passage.
SIR,
FURTHER, to taste of Lottery Fare,
I'd buy One-eighth of Chance and Share,
You'll say- "This Venture's very small !"
Better, perhaps, than none at all;
Sometimes from small, great Things proceed;
(I hope 'twill now prove so indeed.)
When first I ventur'd on my Purse,
Twas better much, - but now much worse :
Yet if for these you'll give me Trust,
I'll pay you, Sir, on Sight the first.
But, Friend, if you expect my Thanks,
Pray let me hear no more of Blanks :
May your next Letter bless mine Eyes
With - "Sir, your Ticket's drawn a Prize."
You know I've Blanks already got,
And hope no more will be my Lot.
Yet shou'd this Venture be the same,
I'll neither Fate nor Fortune blame.
I, in this Case, no Gods invoke;
You know, my Friend, that's all a Joke;
Nor on the Stars bestow my Curse,
For making one bad Matter worse:
Dame Fortune's no such Saint of mine,
I pay no Off'rings at her Shrine:
She has no Right t' expect 'em, sure;
Poets, you know, are mostly poor.
So I'll not Chance, nor Fate confess,
Tho' Blanks I've more, - but Money less.
You'll ask - "what then my Muse intends ?"
This Moral, Sir, she recommends :
Since God's own Hand directs the *Cast,
Each Lot is right, from first to last.
Your's sincerely, &c.
