Shortly the Stygian shores your ghosts shall share,

"Where surly Charon waits and plies for fare ou est "Yet still, the sport of hope, by fancy hurl'd,

"Wander, and whine, and murmur through the world

"Still through mankind your wanton mischiefs spread; "Till Fate divides your prospects and your thread; ... "Improve the hour, your transient vigor urge;

"Since Jove already grasps the mortal scourgeons "Bigots! for you the earth unlocks her womb; biser "And widely yawns oblivion's darksome tomb

A NEW WEEKLY WORK,

TO BE ENTITLED, THE

CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW.

FOR some time past the British Press has teemed with publications calculated to mislead, and to inflame the public mind. The vilest arts have been resorted to in order to sap the loyalty of the people, to destroy their respect for exalted rank, and to obliterate their veneration for the church ;a similar system was pursued in France, previous to the revolution, and its baneful effects are too faithfully recorded in the present degraded state of the Continent ;-it becomes, then, a very desirable object to furnish the people of this Empire with an antidote to the poison thus widely disseminated amongst them. With this view it is proposed to institute a Weekly Paper, upon the plan of COBBETT'S Register, to be entitled,

THE CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW.

In this work every subject connected with the interests of the public will be fully canvassed; and, upon whatever questions it may be necessary to

enter, such principles only will be maintained as are congenial with the British Constitution. The same motives of loyalty and independence which impel the Proprietors to oppose sedition, will induce them, with no less firmness and zeal, to expose corruption; and, while they keep a watchful eye upon the patrons of tumult, peculators shall never escape notice.

The conduct of public men will form a very material point of discussion, and the Proprietors pledge themselves to meet the subject with perfect impartiality.

A review will also be taken of the diurnal, and other periodical journals, for the purpose of detecting the falsehoods, and repelling the pernicious doctrines occasionally promulgated in some of these prints.

In order to render this work more permanently useful, the principal events of the week, worth recording, together with any interesting public papers, will be inserted in it.
