It is said that he is bound for the Coast of Africa, in order to take possession of the settlements taken by the French there, and next to proceed to the West Indies, to join Admiral Parker, who will also be Reinforced with the Hannibal of 50 Guns, the Dromedary of 44, and 2 other Frigates; which will serve as a Convoy to a fleet of Merchantmen bound for the West Indies, which consists of 200 sails and upwards. Admiral Graves has hoisted his Flag on board the London of 90 Guns which they say is also destined with some other ships of the Line for a secret expedition.

The Guns were fired, and all the Buildings, both Public, and private were illuminated. An Address presented to his Majesty by the Commoners of Ireland. Most Gracious Sovereign. WE, your Majesty's most respectfull and faithful subjects, the Commoners of Ireland, assembled in Parliament, humbly begs leave to assure your Majesty of our sincere Attachment to his Royal Person, and Government. We are very sensible of the of the uninterrupted attention of your Majesty to the interests of Ireland, and of the happy alteration which the wisdom of your Counsels, and the liberal sentiments of the British Parliament, have made in the present situation of our affairs, we feel a double satisfaction, on account of the priviledge now bestowed upon us, both because it appears to be an effectual Remedy for the Poverty of the Kingdom, and because it furnishes us with an incontestable proof of that fraternal affection, which we think ourselves Entitled to expect from Great Britain, and which we will ever endeavour to cultivate, and encrease with mutual sincerity, we humbly beg your Majesty to be assured that we also feel the greatest pleasure to find that the Bond which has always united the two Kingdoms, is more firm this Day than ever, owing to the conduct of our Brother subjects, your Majesty may also be assured, that for our parts we shall never fail in doing the utmost Efforts, to keep up that intimate affection between Britain, and Ireland, which we are firmly persuaded is inseparable from happiness and prosperity.

POET's CORNER. A DREAM. OFT have I mus'd with deep surprize, What fortune painted without eyes! Her eyes at least so muffl'd o'er, That day from night she can't discover, Hence comest (thought I) that Honours places, 'Stead of true men, are thrown on Asses For how, in wonders name, when blind True virtue see, or merit find! Was I one day dame fortunes keeper, She shou'd, at least, squint with one peeper, Then wou'd she see how the World is jogging, How knaves the just, the rich the poor are roguing; Her kind favours hood-wink'd granted, Are heaped where least of all they're wanted; How bold faced knaves, kind receptions meet, Whilst modest merit starves i' th' street This thought took in my brain such root, The strength of sleep cou'dn't drive it out; For in soft Morpheus' arms when laid, Queen Mab kept cap'ting round my head, Methought a Golden throne high rais'd; With Di'mond, gems and jewels blaz'd; The goddess fortune fill'd the seat, Kingdoms lay prostrate at her feet The worlds wide map her canopy of state Her maid, Miss Whim Caprice, appears, Still whispering in the Goddess ears; Thus, ma'm, and thus, your favours scatter, Fill this fool's bags, and that knaves Platter 'Twere fit you dub this blockhead great That ass a Minister of state The goddess swallows her advice Eager as hungry cats do mice, Or right or wrong 'tis all the same Her lawyer, her every thing's Miss Whim Strange blunders now are brought to pass Sir Wisdom's wrote, where shou'd be ass, Embroider'd velves grace the backs Which nature meant to carry sacks That star dubb Lord, with looks elate Shou'd cobble shoes, not botch the state In nature's book, what finds the place Of groom, in fortunes is---- your grace Those bums that on soft wool-packs sit, A porters bench wou'd better fit, Those silk crown'd heads and flowing, Locks What odds 'twixt them and barbers blocks? Generals that they'd true courage wear, Long shining Swords, and powder'd hair; Macaronys,----which for Men I took, Are----apes---- wrote large in natures book Patriots----their names when spelt aright Legerdemainers, clear as light. Ladies----with three foot-heads high around, Were----ladies still wherever found, True merit in a thread-bare suit, For the Company's sport was kick'd about. The King long may he reign I pray---- The King was King that's all I say. The unhappiest blunder that I find, Was, Justice, sword in hand----stone blind Puss scratching at my Chamber Door, Awak'd me, and I dreamt no more. HONESTUS.
