In turnpike-making through our <tare,
Where roads are seldom good or straight;
But though with thoughts and views well meant.
Much time in talking has heeu spent;
And though the subject has in Jact
I,ed to a legislative act,
Yet still, we fear, our roads will keep ;
A r.igiag eou.sein mud too deep:
That trees will 'cross the road be found,
Which carriages must all go round.
And giving many thus a squeeze
Between I h" neighboring ST A V DING iree« —
Or some, perhaps, w ho ’sou j>e a nib,
May find their w heels sunk to the huh:
Vet still, though this wtcan‘t but lea”,
We hope tl.at by another year,
The zeal of patriotic friends
For past neglect wilt make nneods—
That travellMrs may hereafter view
Our roads improv'd, and bridges too,
And that some “ extract of a letter”
May tell h”W things have here got better,
And say, “ as it to roads relates,”
I “ We're imilaliiig older slates.”

Ami here. a" we would justice do.
We'd bring our neighbor into view
Our neighbor Hamburg, ’tis we mean,
Wbo from Our banks’s so clearly seen ;
Our last year's record briefly told
Hamburg was THEN but six months old;
Its present age we need not state,
Those maj', Who please,it calculate—
We notice it to say Tis grow n
A sort of busy, stirring town,
Wliere com.nor-c thrives, and w ill, Tis thought—
Where goods ar ■ sold, ami cotton bought;
One steam-boat long from thence has rue,
Another, too, will soon he done—
A loan was made* when last year wanted,
And llh rul sums m e this year granted;
And such bright pro poets now arise
Ar show ft* Founder's enterprise.,
To give Ihe place commercial rank
They: e gol by LAW, Tis said, a Bank,
Which can, with ease, to vast amount
Have hvitntiovt tudisronnt;
And thus increase the emulation
Os thole who get accommodation ; *
And also ran secure remorse
To (hose w lio've nvhj (o endorse.
Ami if, ns probably it will,
The Bank ’* lncal< <l on the hill,
'Twill doubtless make their merchants
Faster than yet (heir hoots boredom
So fast their heels may need a pouilire
To ease the blisters from Batik notice,—
That is, if such effects should Mciv
Follow from Banks ns have done here.
For here we know Tw ould many plra e
To find aCUiTF for Bank disease;
Whether that cure (without disaster)
Were made by poultice, pi'!, or plaster.
I
We'd now an awful scene remember,
Which hapfien'd during last .September,
When roaring winds and rising tide
Spread desolation firmed wide,
U hen trembling beans,and faces pale,
Felt and bewail'd the dreadful gale,
Which furiously for mauyirmiles
Swept Charleston and the neighboring isles.
And with extensive horror spread,
| And numbered many with the deal,
i No finite power, or human form,
Could brave the fury of the storm,
Hut far i n country and in ton it,
Buildings and trees were both bfowndown,
And in the tempest's awful gloom
Parents and children found a tomb ;
Being both by overwhelming waves
Deeply tmgulph'd in watery graves. #
|
But we're admonish'd that Tis time
To terminate our atom d rhyme ;
Our columns then we'll not extend,
But with a wish our verses end.
Now may our friends, both far and near.
I Knjoy full many a happy year;
May their enjoyments daily grow,
And litey be prosper'd here below ;
Or should they e'er alHielion see,
May that a blessing prove to be 5
And tuay their ihouglns aspiring climb
Above the narrow bounds of lime j
May they direct their views to where
The seasons change not, or the year—
Bui where,in happiness mid love,
They'll dwell in brighter realms above.
AVARICE OUTWITTED!
Thi' case of John Eyre, who,
though worth upwards of .£30,000,
was convicted a( the Old Bailey, and
sentenced to transportatipn, for stcal
j in eleven quires of common writing
| paper, was rendered more meioora
-1 hie by the opportunity which it gave
j Junius to impeach the integrity of
| hold Mansfield, who was supposed
to have erred in admitting him to
I bail. An anecdote is related of Mr.
Eyre, which shows the natural de-i
pravity of the human heart. An un
cle, a gentleman of considerable pro
perty, made his will in favour of a
clergyman who was his intimate
friend, and committed it to the cus
todvoft he divine. However, not long
heftWe Ids death, he made another
will, in which he lelt the clergyman
o! ■ ef'jOO, leaving the bulk of his pro
perty to his nephew tint! heir-at-law,
| Air. Eyre,. Soon after the old gen-
I ileman s death. Air. Eyre rummag
ing his drawers, found this last will,
and perceiving the legacy of
for the clergyman, put it into the fire,
ami took possession of his whole, ef
fects, in consequence of his uncle be
ing supposed to have died intestate.
Tiie clergyman, coming to town soon
after, and inquiring into the circum
stances of his old friend's death, ask
ed it he had made a will ? On being
answered in the negative, he very
coolly put his hand in his pocket,anil
pulled out the former will, which had |
I been committed to his case, anti in j
j which the testator had bequeathed I
i him the whole of his forbme. amonnf-1
ling to several thousand pounds, e;:-i
; cepting a legacy ofoOOl. to hisne-'

“ The flattering reception the A

The repetition of these words,
soy Americano del Aorle, r Is a suffi
cient passport through the empire.
You receive for answer, “ Esia Casa

male or female in the name of the

i stow aims on one of these creatures,
i you become instantly surrounded by
[dozens. • You can see them sitting
lin the doors of shops, picking the
I vermin off their bodies, and if you
[ are not careful, you receive a trans
| for of the same. Thus they live
and repose in the streets, without any
shelter, save the canopy of heaven,
u The ladies in fashionable life are
only seen in the street., between 7
anti [) in the morning, going to and
returning from mass. 'I lie morning
is occupied in preparing for visiting,
or receiving company, from 10 to 11.
After dinner they take their Siesta ;
ut five, order the coach to drive to
the Alameda, a place of fashionable
resul t for five or six thousand people,
every afternoon. It contains fifteen
acres, walled in—four spouting foun
tains, numerous avenues, and u fine
road for those on horseback and in
coaches. The Emperor, with his
wife and children, in a coach drawn
by six duns, with an escort of twenty
four dragoons’, passes through here
every afternoon. Sometimes he is
accompanied l>y r his father and nieces,
in a coach and six greys, with an es
-1 curt of eight. The number of prU
! vale carriages which are also on the
| Alameda, and passing into the coun
try. exceed eighty. They are con
siderably more numerous and more
elegant than in the city of Philadel
phia.” ’
From Iks Host, Dully Advertiser, Dec. 12.
OPIUM TRADE WITH CHINA.
A Chinese edict was some time
since published, announcing the sei
zure of the cargoes of otic American
| and three English vessels at Canton,
for introducing opium, in violation of j
the law, anti the confiscation of half)
the cargoes. Ry a subsequent edict j
this forfeiture was remitted, the vice-i
roy finding dial the merchants, con-j
corned were greatly aillicted, and i
that they “ ;:(/«?• out as under the
agonies of a head ache their supplica
tions but they were forbidden to
sell their cargoes, or to carry away
any ten or rhubarb, and the Hong
I Merchants wore ordered to make a
i memorandum of the names of these
[ ships and fheir merchants, and for
ever prohibit their coming to Canton
to trade. The following is the con
cluding part of the edict.
| “As to one of the four ships, viz.
Coupland and Emily, of Baltimore,
she contained nearly a thousand xcat
ties of foreign gin, worth scarcely any
thing, and if paid for the port char
ges upwards of 14000 tales, from
which it appears that the said ship
came for no other purpose but to sell
opium. Infinitely detestable! Right
ly did Heaven send down punish
ment, and cause Francis Terragoies
to commit a crime for which he was
strangled. This ship should be pun
ished more severely : only as the
three ships, Hoff and the others,'
have had clemency extended to them,
I shall' remit the sentence on all
equally, and shall with her, as with
the others, inflict a little punishment.
“ In a word, as before said, the
Celestial Empire permits tea, rhu
barb, &c. to be sold, to keep alive [
the people of the said nations, j
1 hose persons who are annually |
ken) alive thereby are more than I
10,000 ‘times 10,000. How sufait
stantial a favor is this! Yet these
foreigners feel no gratitude, nor wish |
to render a recompense /hut smuggle j
in A’pium, which poisons the empire, j
U hen this conduct is referred to the {
heart, it must be disquieted—when !
referred to reason, it is contrary to ! i
it. In broad day, on earth, there is j;
the royal law—in the shades after <
death are god-snd demons. These !i
foreign ships pass an immense ocean,, ■
they likewise go through gales of j I
wind, boivierQus seas, and unknown ]
dangers, entirely preserved by the <
condescending protection of the ce- t
lesfial gods; and therefore they
should hereafter rotre themselves to t
feealous reflection, to better repent-j I
mice and to reformation, and alter j
•heir inhuman and unreasonable cun-; <
duct, i,
I !icn will the winds bo fair and
waves stilled, and they will forever
receive die greatest bounty of the Ce
lesta.! Empire. Let the Hong mer
chants, ia ♦'i'c'qH'i.ce to this Edict, i
and minutely inculcate its
contents to ail foreign ships going a- t
nay to their own country, and to all
supercargoes, jequuing*!v mto know <
and understand it. I the Pocchong
Sye having received from the Gover
nor the above quoted document, trans
fer it to the Leal Magistrate to carry
it into effect. Disobedience will in
volve great and heavy consequences.
