London, Nov. 11.  The following lines were wrote by a
gentleman on Admiral Vernon's bust being erected in a a room
at the Queen Anne's Arms Tavern in Cateaton-Street, where
several gentlemen will dine to-morrow and celebrate that
brave English Admiral's birth-day.
  Britons! with awe this son of freedom view, 
  Excell'd by none, and equall'd but by a few; 
  Who 'midst corruption uncorrupted stood, 
  His heart and hand devoted to your good.
