A Highland Jacobite War Song. BT WALTER SCOTT. There is mist od the mountain, and night on the vale, Bui more dark is the sleep of the sons of the Gael. A stranger commanded—it sunk on the land, It has frozen each heart, and benuroh'd every band! The dirk and the target lie sordid with dust, Tbc bloodless claymore is but reddeo'd with rust; On the iiillor the glen if a gun should appear, It is only to war with the heath-cock or deer. The deed? of our sires if «ur bards should rehearse, J.rt a blush or a blow be the meed of their terse! lie mute every string, and be hush'd every (one, That shall bid us remember the fame that is flown. But the dark hours of night and of slumber are past. The morn on our mountains is dawning at last ; Glenaladale's peaks are illumed with the rays. And the streams of Gienftnnan leap bright in the blaze. O high-minded Moray !—the exiled—the dear! In the blush «f the dawning ihe Standard up- rear ! Wide, wide on the winds of ihe north let it fly. Like the sun's latest flash when the tempest i» nigh J Ye sons of the strong, when that dawning shall break, Need the harp of the aged remind you to wake ? That daw n never beam'd ou your forefather's e3 e. But it roused each high chieftain to vanquish or die. I O sprung from the Kings who in Way kept stale. Proud chiefs of Clan Ranald, Glengary, and Steal ! Combine like three streams from ©ne mountain of snow, J And resistless in union rush down on the foe ! | Truesoo of Sir Evan, undaunted Lochiel, Place thy targe on thy shoLider and burnish thy steel ! Rough Kepporh,give breath to thy bugle's bold swell. Till far Coryarrick resound to (he knell ! Stern son of Lord Kenneth, high chief of Kintail, Lei tLc i«ag tu tfty »e&iitteft! &oui»J wJKi iu nc eale ! Way the race of Clan Gillean, the fearless and fi cr. Remember G'enlivat, Harlatv,and Dundee! Let lie clan of grey frugal, whose offspring lias given Such heroes 10 earth,and such martyrs to heaven, Unite with the race of renown'd Rorri More, Tolannch the long galley, and sircich to the oar! How Mac-Shimei will joj when their chief shall display The yew-crested bonnet o'er tresses of grey ! How the race of wrong'd Alpine aud murder'd Glencoe Shall shout for revenge when they pour on the foe! Ye sons of brown Dermid, who slew the wild hoar, Resumetbepurefaithofthegre.nt Callam-Mote! Mac-Neil of the Islands, and Moy of the Lake, For honour, for freedom, for vengeance awake ! Awake on your hills, on your islands awake. Brave sons of the mountain, the frith, and the lake) 'Tis the bugle—but not for the chase is the call; 'Tis the pibroch's &titill summons—but not to the ball. 'Tis the summons of heroes for conquest or death, When the banners are blazing on mountain and healh ; They call to (he dirk, the claymore, and the targe. To the march and the muster, the line aud the charge. Be the brand of each Chieftaip like Fin's iu bis ire! Way the blood through his veins flow like cur¬ rents of tire ! Burst the base foreign yoke as your sires did of yore, Or die like \our sires, and endure it no more ! that the defendant would do neither— that frequentlj when a Iked permiflion, he would tell them or wave his hand for them to pafs—that when they came up with him, and in the aft of paffing, he would reto his horfes in before them, and again let bis horfes walk or go on a flow trot— this was often repeated—and the Plaintiff was thu9 hindered in the moft malicious and vexatious manner for rifing three miles. The defendant endeavored to palliate* by attempting to (how the vicioufnefs of his horfes. The jury retired, and in a fnort time returned a verdift for the plaintiff of thirty dollars and costs offuit. From a late Cork paper* Insanity. The prevalence of the melancholy vifi- tation to which the human lot is expofed, gives, at the.prefent juncture, a more than ordinary value to every publication which treat6 of its caufes, or points out a reafon- able courfe towards palliation or remedy. It is a faft, and one which is calculated to humble human pride to the very dufl, that there are more infane patients at prcfent, than ever were known to exift before at'the fame time—and this fad faft, while it derogate* from the noblefl of our pretentions, is calculated to imprefs with an awful fear, and to caufe even the wife and the flrong to tremble for themfclves, in the diftribution of this moll difmal of all fufferings. The following curious table of the caufes of infanity, as they occured in the County and City of Cork Lunatick Afylum commencing the full of January, 1798, and ending the 30th of June, [818, is from a work recently published by Dr. Halloran.

The principal thing that ap¬ peared in evidence againft him, was a con- feflion alledged to have been made by him at the police office, and taken down in writing by a police officer. The docu¬ ment purporting to contain this felf crim¬ ination, acknowledgement was produced by the officer, and the following pafiage was read from it : " Magnan faid he never robbed but twice faid it was Crawford." This, it will be obferved, had no mark of the writer's having any notice of punc¬ tuation, but the meaning he attached to it will be evident from the following mode of printing it. "Magnan faid he never robbed but twice—Said it was Crawford" Mr. O'Gorman, the counfel for the prifoner, begged to look at the paper- He perufed it, aud rather aftonifhed the peace officer,by afTciling, that, fo far from its proving the man's guilt, it clcaily eftablifhes nis innocence* '" This faid the Varnei) gentleman, io tl.e fair and obvious reading of the fentence : " Magnan faid he never robbed— " But twice faid it was Crawford."
