From the New-York Journal. [Description of Corsican General
accused of treason against the French]
I think the character of the above General, and that of our
illustrious Commander in Chief, are so familiar, that the
following selected lines made on the former are well adapted
and very applicable to the latter;---only for the words
Corsica and Paoli, substitute America and Washington.
Hail Corsica! than whose recorded name
None e'er stood fairer on the rolls of fame.
Rapt at the sound, my soul new ardour fires,
[ ] thought impassions, and each strain inspires.
