4 TIMID LOVE.’ BT MRS SHAN'T.
O Say not that Arthur will sec me no
more,
His ki ndrtc^s 1 merit, his kindness de-
plore ;
Though doubt made me silent, yet why should he fly,
Sioce the dawn of affection is timid atfd shy?
2\e nourished the wofJIark he brought from the nest,
The flowers he presented I placed in my breast :
V. hen their beauty no longer delighted n»v eves,
Wi.h their last dying odours 1 mingled my sighs.
Bcnea'h yon steep cliff, where the siraw-
bcrrvs g«0'.v, Tho* the sort .n rwdf tumults beats ever
below ; By tht din. light of morning, unseen I
repa’r. To gather the fruit, that my Arthur may
share. Alone in the dusk of the evening I rovr,
With my harp 1 resort to the depth of the grove ;
With secret delight, there I sing all his lays,
And practise the music made sweet by hia praise.
O will he return, his loted haunts to re-
trace ? Will no rash resentment appear in his
Lee ? No more like i blast will he rush thro*
the door. And wrng my sid heart with reproaches
do more ! *

CONFESSION OF MURDER. Monmouth, March 9.
About 27 years ago the body of
a young woman, named Mary Puc i-
ard. was found in a mill pond, in
I he neighbourhood of Longlown, in
the county ol Hereford, with ma-
ny marks’ of violence tberon, and
a coroners jury being summoned, al-
ter a natieat investigation,delivered a verdict <>r Wilful Murder. I he
deceased had for some time
servant with Mr. Gilbert of Clud-
doek and two young men, John Da-
vis and James Jones, being her in-
timate acquaintance, suspicion fell
upon them and ti.ey were in conse-
quence apprehended. Jones had for-
mer!? lived at Mr. Hilbert s ".iih lit i
as a fellow servant; but his ihen
mistress, Mrs. Hopkins ot Ireland,
swearing that he was in her house
allMhe evening, that he wmi to bed
before her & that be did not rise tin
after she was up ; and this being corrobor ted bya boy,who swore that
lie slept with him, and that to the
best of bis knowledge he was
not out of bed till lie arose with
him to go to their usual employ ment,
be was discharged.—Davisalsoprov- ed his innocence. Some time alter
this Jones left the neighbourhood, and took up his residence in Mon- mouthshire, when lie married, and had five children, hut his wife has
been dead some years, aod he is now
in the decline of life. Bring at
length severely afEicled with illness, and fearing the approach of death, he scat a few days since lor the
Rev. Mr. Says* of Trollick, to whom lie made a full confession ol the Murder. He acknowledged that he
retired forest with the boy before his mistress went to bed ; that •
he previously appointed to meet ibe
unhappy girl, who was pregnant by him) he stole out of the house com-
mitted the horrid deed, and returned to bis bed without disfutbing any one, having been but a few minutes absent. lie ill lives though in
a very weak state, and appears much easier in bis mind since flic confession.—His present residence is on Penaltb Common, near the
Hargoed, about three miles from hence.

From the National Intelligencer.
News from France. We have been favnr-.d with the use
of a file of Farit Moniteur* from the 9th to the 21 si Apul inclusive. They are
filled with the acts of the new govern- ment, and the addresses, letters o! ad- hesion, bec. from the various mumci
publics and public characters in Fiance;* and, as the Moniteur is the official paper, contain* n 'thing adverse to the new go- vernment, which, indeed, from the ge- neral aspect of these papers, is proretd- lng in the arrangement of itsafLus with such tranquility, and meets with
little or no opposition from any pail ot
ihe^French nation
Wc shall prepare for our iext a sum-
mary of such features of the proceedings of the new government -s appear to us
most important and have not been be- fore noticed. Mjanwhilefrom the voluminousmassef
addresses, official papers, Ixc which ap- pear in the Moniteur,'we select the two
following from thfc latest French papers in our possession, which will serve as
samples of a vast number in the same
eulogise spirit, and almost in the same
courtly words :
From the Aloniteur of A/iril 20. The Council of Prizes were yester-
day admitted to an audience of Mpnsicur. The Count of Berlier, President,addres- sed the following discourse to bis Royal Highness. Mr Lord,
* Peace in Europe will soon put an end to our labors, and peace am. ng its various nations will find the French in ;r*nquility a*, home.
• JYo more dtvioiom, your royal high- ness has sold; bo my lord, we shall not have them under a government which it«ell wills that all the public powers shall be wisely regulated, and the rights cf individuals sufficiently guaranteed.
Under such *u*pictt our government will revive, and under such a paternal administratibn exhausted France will recover her strength end happiness.
< Let Monsieur tutiit with kindnets the vow* and homage of the Council o
Prizes. The members which compose it have doubtless not long to serve the
King your august brother, in those
functions which war alone renders ne-
cessary ; but they esteem tbemselve*
happy in being yet invested with z o4m-
racter which permits them to deposit the expression of tbeir sentiments m the
bosom of a Prince who is a worthy de-
scendant of the great and good Henry Hi* royal highness replied, in sub-
stance,'and with a touching affabi fy it Xhat his august brother will without
doubt be disposed to keep account oj the services rendered by the council o;
Prizes, and that his majesty, rcho l
enjoy no happiness but in the happiness of all the French, would employ all his
means to assure the prosperity of France
and concur in all measures to consoli-
date the tranquility of Europe.”

SOLDIERS, You hate followed the example giver
by your Chiefs 1 he Marshdeol F; <*nce
the Generals and superior officers have
,11 auhered with eagerness to the bril-
liant and happy revolution whfch ha
lAen ph.ee, and you have partaken o»
sentiments so nohle. All hearts
hemvelvcs around the throne, ano
throughout the nation all bless the re
turn of ihe august and legitimate dynas- ,, oi n e Burbons. who alone coulJ br;ng repose and happiness to this bcaulilui
kingdom. A devotedness so general has pene-
trated wrh sensibility Monsieur, the
brut her of the King, Lieut. Gen of the
Kingdom—My hist duty has been to
converse with his Royal Highness on the
interests of the army ; and what has oecn
h»v joy in finding in his expressions aii the effusions of a prince wi o desires to
be the father of his soldiers ! How live
ly an emotion have 1 cxpeiitnccd in re-
ceiving the assurance of his Royal Highness that he was only the iaithtul
interpreter of the wishes of the King his august brother !
The condition of the army 8c of each
of its members will then be constantly the object of the paternal solicitude of the government The glory with which tt has not ceased to cover itself in tb«
t curse of war so fertile in lliustriou* feats of arms, is regarded by the Bour- bons as a precious portion of the inhe-
ritance which restores to them the love ot the F;ench.
Officers and Soldier* give loose to a
confidence which will not be deceived, brh.-io before )ou the rewards and con-
sideration which ought to belong to the
glorious army of a Xing of France Ali
grades ot rat.is will be maintained : and
if, in li.c new organization destined to repair discrd'T, and to re-establish the principles of the military esta-
blishment, tome parts of it should^ be
suppressed ; the situation of the officers will not be picjudiccd.—They shall be
icpiaccd in existing corps, or pensions shall be assigned lucnt analogous to
their respective rank and services. Flow sweet is it to me to transmit to
my brave conuades the noble ideas and
promises ot the Prince Lieut* Gen. ol
Kingdom ? But whilst it has pleased him to announce the beuificcnce of cur
august King, 1 ought to guarantee that *1_II ■uiftiknui #liilia* illv UinvipnnS' OHU WII va
(he army shall be observed. Soldiers ! Render not vain tbe confidence of his
Royal Highenss in this respect; and let the honor ot your flag always remain pure and unstained ; in ali steps, let or*
uer and subordination reign in peace as your valor has shorte in wat ; v* u
will thus respond worthily to the love *1 a piinee whose presence has made

Paris, April 20.
On the 4th April Bonaparte reviewed the troops at Fontainbleau, and the mar-
shals and generals (faring learnt ibe re
volution which had taken place at Paris
conferred together and spoke so loud
that Napoleon hca'd them. He effect- ed however, not to listen, and the review
being ended, Marshal Ney eoicred the
palace with him, and followed him to
his cabinet, lie asked him it he knew
of the great revolution that bad happen ed at Paris. Bonaparte answered tha
he knew nothing of it. Ney then hand-
ed him the Paris newspapers. He seem
ed to be reading them with attention in order to gain time lor an answer.
Marshal Lefebvro entered, and said, •viih an animated accent, to the ci de-
cant emperor—“ You are lost I you would not listen to the advice of any ol
your old servants: the senate has pro- munced your destination.** These word# made so awful an impression up- jn the man who was accustomed to re-
gard himself as above all laws, that he
burst -into a flood of tears. Afte£ joint
moments of leflection, he wrote an act
f abdication in faver of his son. Af- terwards he proposed to march for Ita-
ly with the the 20 000 men he had at
Fontainbleau, and join Prince Eugene He repeated several times—** If I ar-
rive, I am certain of being acknowledg- ed hv all Ttalv ** H« a<r*in reviewed his
tioop-?, and his c ountenance was pole Sc
altered He lemained only 8 «r 10 mi-
nut? s upon parade, & having re-ente»cd the palace, sent for the Duke oi Reggio, Sc asked whether the troops would follow him ? 14 No sir l” answered Victor, “ You have abdicated.” To which Bo-
naparte replied, 44 Yet—but upoo cer-
tain conditions.” Victor replied—*4 The soldiers will not understand such subtle- ties. They believe that you can.no lon-
ger command them.” “ Every thing is said, then, which can
be said upon this project. Let us wait
for news from Paris,” said Bonaparte. The marshals, who had been sent to
Paris, returned and Ney entered the first.
“ Have you succeeded ?” asked Bo-
naparte. “ Partly, Sir,” answered Ney. 44 But
not as othe Regency. Revolutions ne-
I ver go backwards. This has taken its ! course ; it was too late ; the Senate w ll
to-morrow acknowledge the Bourbons.” »« Where then, am I to live with my
family ?’* «» Where your majesty pleases: in
the island of Eib», for example—and with a pension of six millions ”
*' Six million* ! that's a great deal, since I am nothing but a soldier I see
I must resign myself. I bid adieu to all my companions iu arras*” Hiving said this, he was silent
BOSTON, June 9. j
The following statement is handed us
by the collector of cur shipping news* We pretend not to say how much it is possible to divine of the intentions of the enemy, from the conversation of their officers in the presence of ou»* own peo- ple. We have been informed from o-
ther sources of the arrival of large rein- forcements at Halifax.
Captain Buntin, of the schr. Maria, of Ntwburyport, who wss captured on
Sunday by a barge of the Nymph, end csrricd on board that frigate, states that
t^e left the Nymph on Tuesday afternoon —that the frigates in the hay were on
that day joined by the Bulwark 74 io a
short passage from Halifax—and that be was told the Bulwark on the same day had sent into Portsmouth despatches td our government, and that 14 days would be allowed for an answer. He was tf-d farther, that the enemy were shortly to be joined by 4 ships of the line with pre- parations for attacking the towns on the coast, and that the frigates had orders to burn, aink and destroy every coaster which they could take At our latest datea from Halifax, the Bulwark was there.
The officers further informed Capt. B. that 100 sail of transports had trrived at Halifax from England, having on board ibout 10,600 troops, and. that 60 sail more were shortly expected All these statements of the conversation of the British officers are confirmed by another person who was on board the Junon, and w ho came on shore at the same time.
