Of Sir W B.

WE knew this gentleman when he was a Lt. in the N-y, but little did we think then, we fhould ever know him an and capable (as no doubt he is) of

Of Governor Eli_s!

THIS gentleman's fuccefs in life, is a proof that merit does not always pafs unrewarded, we remember to have feen him in the dress and occupation of a common failor in the Mediterranean, in which capacity he earned his paffage to England! yet to our aftonishment we have feen a letter under this ingenious but Irish gentleman's name, giving fo dreadful an account of the intense heat in an infant Colony of ours in America ; that it would have deterred every reader, never to go there! except he had been bred an Anchor Smith, or born under the torrid zone.

Of Col. L-m-t.

Ometimes a man is punished for Nor doing his duty; Col. Lt has fuffered for doing it! this gentleman (though born in Ireland) cannot conceive, that a man can be in a particular place in company with five hundred other men, and yet be seen there by nobody-not recollecting, that it was at a particular time, when every man thought it beft, to look to himfelf.

May live to fight another day.
And he, who well maintains his ground,

THERE is something uncommonly fingular, agreeable; and entertaining in this Nobleman; the very Lady whom he married, and with whom he is no longer connected; announced herself, for fome time, to be the happiest woman on earth; we must therefore conclude fhe is now the moft wretched.
