Such Kings, like flars, with influence unconfined, - Shine, with propitious afpelt on mankind : * Favour the innocent. reprefs the bold ; And while they flourifb, make an age of g1ld! ' : & W alter. - - g » ES, gracious Monarch ; y%,s. thou Father " oi thy people ; yes, tmiverfally becloved ~ Sovereign ; the tender, tender tears of thy 5l ', “cern, ' which throbs &t évery : heart, and melts in every eye, pathetically exprefs their venerable efteem; their filial love of thee ; their filent and dejected grief, more Tpeakingly thun all the powers of eloguence, procliim thy tidde to that blifsfal reglon, where good Kingsreft in’ undifturbed pléafure ; where cares, and fears, and anxieties ceafe ; where honours fade not, and where joy is endlefs 4 o0 o0 o Oh how plesficg o yield our breath, and pay the laft fad neceflary debr,lamented by the voice of general love ; bewailed by the tear of univerfal affc@ion ; embslmed in the precious memory of reverential, gréateful efteem ! How pleafing to die, as it were, in the arms of regretful weeping anxiety ; toleave a longer defire of us behind, and to ceafe to exift, ’ere: we ceafe to be valuzble and neceflary ! .... This was the happy lot.of our departed Sovereign ; on whom the favour of heaven feems to have fhed its choiceft bleffings. ~Formed: by nature for royalty, he exrly thewed thofe great and fhining qualitics, which adom the princely disdem: Undsunted courage diftinguifhed him in the'field ; firmnefs snd fortitude, tempered with mild clemency, and melting compaflion, befpoke him worthy to fuftsin the difficulties of empire. -3Tig true the glaring s&s of conqueft, and the founding ‘eclat of military prowefs fillsthe trumpetof Fame with the loudeft breath : but the ftill and noble virtues which caltivate and bléfs a peaple, as they merit the higheft honour, fo do they add the trueft dignity to the man. Grores the I1d, had enough of the fireof heroilm to “have won him immortsl renown in the tented field, had he been luftful of fuch glory ; but he was happy enough to move in another, and a better [phere’; and to fhire, Jike ‘a good' ftar, with = benign inflaence, on mankind.... He was a friend of liberty; and though born a King, he was not only anxious to fecare that firft of blefings to his:own fubjefls,but he may be juftly ftiled the general affertor of human liberty ; and it may bz faid of him with the ftriGteft truth; that he neverdrew the fword in any ather caufe: No other canfe could have prevailed with aPrince of hisgenerous nature todraw the deftrac- tive fword. For can we imagine, that HE, who fcarce ever figned the neceffary inftrumiént of gondemned male- fa@ors execurion, without tears, and'moft uneafy reluc- tance ; can we imagine, that HE, who could fhed the itying drops over his brave young General's grave 5 ... Sut HE, could commiffion the inftruments of ruin, without concern; or fend forth the minifters of devafta- tion, without the moft prefiaz neceflity-? - The fplendid virtues of heroifm may render us eminent in the tongues of men ; the endearing virtues of huma- njty can alone render us' beloved by our neareft friends _and ‘domeftics. .. . Afk them, and they will tell you;-if their brimful Kearts will allow them utterance, that their gracious mafler was not more great, than good ; that every locial excellence adorned the man ; that they have loft the Friend, the Father, the ‘Benefsétor! Uniform and regular in-his a&ions ; {teady in his atachments ; giave, calm, and magnanimous i his difpofition ; and admirable for his moderation and ftrict temperance. ... The fun’ rarely found him afleep on hispillow ; but with it’s rays faluted “the illuftrious King ‘beading the fuppliant knee before the throne’ of the King of Kings ! And it deferves remarking, that at this bour, when he had juft performed his morning duty, and ficted himfelf, a3 iz were, for heaven; the call to glory came; and without a pang, slmoft without & groan, the kiad hand of his heavenly Father, reccived his foal to: himfelf-! Received him, after having indulged him to us, for a long ferics of important’years ? and blc® him with fuch felicities, as have rarely fell to the Tot of Kings,to the lot of the moft tavoured and happy of Princes. For it was His, to fee bis people wited in the firmeft concord, and moft friendly union ; fach as Britain never before ex- peérienced, fuch &a her annals canriot parallel, in her moft fortunate days ! It was His to fee indigent faZion perith, . aud languifhing party wafte diminifhed into death ! It was' His tofee a thankful -harmonious - people joyfully concurring with all-his commendable meafures ; and contending how moft to exprefs their zeal & their love ! It was His to fee the flag of his kingdom ride triumph: ant over the fubje@ deep ; it was His to behold the Britifp Lior roufed to unufual courage, and viftorious in every quarter of the globe. It was His, to receive valusble acquifisions to his crown ;5 ‘and conqucits ofthe " moft im n natare; 3 -mhade fill more imiportantand re valuable;: bjche notable conduct and unequalied xy of thole who giined them I'For, to :the glory R - T s o of our King, and cf ous times, let it be remembered, that no period can produce & more plenti‘ul harveft of truly gailant end beroic ¢finns. But let ue #dd, to the peculiar telicity of our deceafed monarch : It was His, to fee his fubjels of thefe happy ilands, rejoicing smidit all the delights and blefings of peace, while war’s dread- ful teriors thook a'moft the world sround ! It was His, to fee commeree flourith with unwonted vigour ; to fee the riches of nstions paured into his Bardsars, and his Exchange the grand mart of the globe | To fee, wealth abound, the aris flourifh ; benévolence rear. aloft ber would add a fuperla‘ive luftre to every age! Happier Rill, if heaven had indulged bim with the fight of honorable peace reftored to oppreft mankind +... There had then remained liutle of felicity:shore to bave been prefented to his view. ... But this pleafing . . truft, for his eyes; to whom the fcepters of. : delcends ; snd to whom the monarch of ourilove muft have refigned iz with peculiar fatisfaétion, . For, once more ; it was His to [ce, not only a nunigzous pof- terity, to f{ecure happy snd uninterrupted luecefiion in his line ; but to behold a truly royal grasdfen, heir of his virtues, and of hiscrown 5 and eafily manifefting all thofe qualifications, which are neceffary to conftitute the good King, and the great man ! So that we may truly apply to bim the words of the facred writer, Thou fbalt ksow alfo that 1hy feed fhall be great; and thine offpring as the grafi of the earth. Thou fhalt come tothy grave in a full age, like as a fback of corn, inits feafon | Oh mayeft thou live, ever live, gracious Sovereign, in the faichful remembrance of thy people! and can we fail €o remember thee with tendereft efteem, who for fo many years haft ruled over ue, out general Father ; and fecured to us the moft invaluab®¥ bleffings ! Reft, reft, blefled fhade ; may the fulleft joys of immortality reward thee ! while the tears of thy people ... tears fhied amidft the loudeft scclaim of joy™® ... befpéak their forrows, and confirm ‘thy goodnefs : heppier farto die, amids fuch filent atteftations of undiffembled regard, than amidft the wordy edulstions of an mpplauding univerfe! ..... while for ourfelves we will transfer eur allegiance and affeftion to the heir of thy throne; end of thy glories.... whole psincely virtues: we contemplate with an heart- felt deliglit : virtues, which bloom fo early, and fo fair, that we doubt nat, but the favour of Pravidence will continue to blefs us under his aufpicious reign ; and fecure to us that nanimity, eredit, homour, and all thofe important felicities, which digni’y and diftinguifh the glorious zra | ¢ Animated with the tendereft affe@ion for this bis native country, ( our rifing monarch,gracionfly affures-us, in words, which are.fe/t by every Britith breaft):hat ie enters; with chearfulne(s,-into his arduous fituation ; and will make it....not oply his endeavour to profecute the prefent juft and necefliry war, in'a man- ner the moft likely to bring,0n sn honourable and lsft- ing peace....But....he will make itthe bufinefs of bis life to promote in emery thing the glory and bappinels of - thefe kingdoms, to preferve amd STRENGTHEN the conflitution both in church ani flate I” Oh may the favour of ommipotent wifdom continually dwell with him, and gracioufly effit him in all his royal defigns | lomg may He live and reign in the hearts of his approving fubj:&ls; long may the choiceft comforts pitch their delighted tents around Him ! and late, very L.te, full of days snd [u!l of glory, like hisilluitrious grandfire of bleflzd memory, may He cxchange a temporal for an eternal crown, amidit the tender ‘tears of a numerous pofterity, of &nunanimous and affeGionate people ! 4 M E N. : - % It was obfervable, that amidff the triumph of the preclamation many eyes were wet with tears i and in par- ticular fome of thefe concerned in the jayful part of the ceremony, could not witheld the natural and affeltionate draps, while their bands adminifired to she chorus of con- gratylation. s g TPPIRTDLLIPOROSROIEED “ King flony: Famaica, OZlober. 20. ] ¥ HE Number of rebellious Negroes is increafing very fall; and by & letter I received Yefterday from St. Jam.s's;, em informed, that the People in that Parith are in a bad Situation, as they have not People to fend after them, for moft that have been eut in Parties have returned fick, great Numbers of whom have died. {#Goad only knows when:there will be an.
