Basseterre, (in St. Christopher's) Feb 5. The following
little piece, whose greatest merit is that it flows from the
heart, spurning at despotic insolence of power, was sent by
a correspondent in St. Croix, to a gentleman here, we
publish as a tribute due to natural liberty, and to shew our
own countrymen the happiness they enjoy under the mild
dispensations of the British laws.
When heaven, indulgent, bless'd this land,
With peace and plenty crown'd,
Like heavenly dew Von Proik's hand
Dispens'd his kindness round.
