Don Juan Cantos hi, iv, v. London
-1821. 12 mo.
This production we are assured by a recent
letter from London, comes from the pen of
Uyron, the author of the first two canto*.
The continuation has been so long prom
is-d t t public curiosity Iv.s lost some
th liter of its edge, and we think the pres
ent work upon the whole, inferior to its
predecessor, but it has great beauties,
which, in spite of the grossness and unhap
py tendency of some of the passages, will,
we have no doubt, cause it to be general-
Iv read. We are only able to offer a
brief sketch of the poem with a few ex
tracts in the present namber, intending
to resume the subject in our next.
The third canto begins with the con
tinuation of the loses of Juan and the fair
Il iidec, with which the original publica
tion concluded. Love in general forms
the subject of some slant'us in the true
spirit of the author.
“Oh, Love! what is it in this world of
ours
Which makes it fatal to be loved? All
why
With cypress branches hast thou wreathed
thy bowers,
And made thy best interpreter a sigh?
As those who dote on odours pluck the
flowers,
And [dace (hem on their breast—hut
place to die—
Thus the frail beings we would fondly
cherish
Are laid within our bosoms but to perish.
In her first passion woman loves her lo
ver.
In.all the other# all she loves is love,
Which grows a habit she can ne’er get
over,
And fits her loosely, like an easy glove,
As you may Hod. when’er you like to
prove her;
One man altme at first her heart can
move;
She then prefers him in the plural num
ber,
Not finding that the additions much cn
cumber.’*
• * '• ■’ * * »
Tie following stanzas relate to the
feelings of Lambro on approaching his
own abode.
“Arriving at the summit of a hill
Which overlook’d the w hite walls of his
home,
He stopp’d—What singular emotions fill
Their bosoms who have been induced to
roam! _ _ ,
\Vith fluttering doubts if all he well or ill,
Willi love fur many, and with fears for
some;
All feelings which o’er-leap the years
long lost.
And bring our hearts back to their start
ing-posi
The approach of home to huabands and to
sires,
After long travelling by land or wa‘er.
Most naturally some small doubt inspires,
A female family’s a serious matter;
(None trusts the sex more, or so much
admires, >
But they hate flattery, so I never flat
ter;)
Wives in their husbands* absences grow
subtler,
And daughters sometimes run off with
the butler.
He finds his daughter, however, to his
great surprise and indignation, revelling
with Juan. At one of these feasts a Greek
minstiel sings a patriotic hymn, applica
ble to the present period. We extract
Some of the stanzas.
•The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece !
W’ljcre burning Sappho lov’d and sung,
Where gre.v the arts of war ami peace,
Where Helos rose, and Phoebus sprung !
Eternal summet gilds them yet,
But all, except their sun, is set.
The Sciaii and the Teian muse,
The hero’s harp, the lover’s lute,
Have found the fame your slimes refuse ;
Their place of birth alone is mute
To sounds which echo further west
Than your sires’ ’lslands of the Blest,’
The mountains look on Marathon —
And Marathon looks nit the seat
And musing (litre an hour alone,
1 dream'd that Greece might still be
freej
For standing on the Persian’s grave,
I could not deem myself a slave.
A king sat on the rocky brow
W’hich looks o’er sea-born Salamis;
And shins, by thoi sands, lay below.
And men in nations; —all Were his!
He vounled them at break of day—
And vhen the sunset where were they?
Anl where are they? and where art thou?
My country? Ou thy voiceless shore, I
The heroic lay is tuneless now—
'l he heroic bosom beats no more!
And must thy lyre, so lung divine,
Degenerate into hands like mine?
’Tis something, in ti e dearth of fame,
I tiongli link’d among a fetter’d race,
To feel as least a patriot’s shame,
Even as I sing, suffuse my lace;
F r w'ltu is left the poet here?
For Greeks a blush—for Greece a tear.
Must we tint weep o’er days more blesi ?
Mns. we but blush?—Otidfalhers bled.
Earth! render hack from out tlty breast
A remnant of our Spart and dead!
Os the three hundred grant but three,
To makes new Thermopylae
What, silent sutl? and silent all?
Alt! no; —the voices of the dead
Sound like a distant lot reel’s fall,
And Answer, ’Let one living head,
But one arise—we com., we come!’
'Tis but the living who are dumb.
In v«in—-in vain: strike oilier chords:
Fill high the cup with Samian wine!
buttles to the Tutkish hordes,
And shed the blood of Svio’s vine!
Haik! rising to the ignoblecall—
Ho* unsweis each bold bachanal'.
•an have the Pyrrhic dance as yet,
Wnere s the Pyrrhic phalanx gone?
,|-n° fc " c h let-sons, why forget
the nobler and the manlier one?
♦ °tn-T* htUeis Cadmus gave— 1
nuiik y e fie meant them for a slave! |
Eiil high the bowl with Samian wine!
We will not think of thenv* like these!
It made Anacreon’s song divine:
He served—but setved Poly crates—
A tyrant; but our masters then
Were still, at least, our countrymen.
The tyrant of the Chersonese
Was freedom’s best and bravest friend!
That tyrant was Militaries!
Ob! that the present hour would lend
Another despot of the kind!
Such chains ns his were sure to hind.”
Then follow some characteristic lines of
the author. 0
“Thus sung, or would, or could, or
should hnvo sung,
The modern Greek, in tolerable verse;
If not like Orpheus quite, wl*> n Greece
was young,
Vet in these times he might have done
much worse:
Hisstinin display’d some feeling—right
or wrong;
And feeling, in a poet, is the source
Os others’ feeling; but they arc such
liars,
And take all colours—like the hands of
dyers.
But words are things; and a small drop
of ink.
Falling, like dew, upon a thought, pro
duces
That which makes thousands, perhaps
millions, think;
’Tis strange, the shortest letter which man
uses
Instead of speech, may form a lasting
link
Os ages; to what straits Old Time reduces
Frail man, when paper—even a rag
like this,
Survives himself, his tomb, and all that’s
Itis.
And when his bones are dust, Itis grave
a blank, #
His station, generation, even bis nation,
Become a thing, or nothing, save to
rank
In chronological commemoration,
Some dull MS. oblivion long has sank.
Or graven stone (bund in a barrack’s sta
tion
In digging the foundation of a closet,
May turn his name up, us a rare deposit.
And glory long has made the sages
smile,-
’Tis something, nothing, words illusion,
wind—
Depending more upon the historian’s
style
Than on the name a person leaves behind:
Troy owes to Homer what whist owes
to Hoyle;
The present century was growing blind
To the great Marlborough’s skid in giv
ing knocks, ... ,
Until his late Life by Archdeacon Coxe.’’
Extracts
from an account of “ A'ew Grenada,
l>!) IV JACOB, Emj. /’• U. S ”
K.evt virfev.vuVa
Is a provincial government of South-
America. At its first settlement it was
usually denominated Terra Fima, at
which time it included what is now the
province of Canteens, and the provinces
in the Isthmus it Darien. Since it bus
been erected into a vieeroyalty, it has
been called sometimes the kingdom of
Santa Fe, but more correctly, the new
kingdom of Oiemtdn.
No part of the globe furnishes a great
er variety both of soil and climate, anrt in
no other part can every production of
every conn' ry be prod iced so well as in
this viceroyalty. This arises from the
great inequalities in the suiface of
the country for it contains, within
its limits, till lately supposed to he the
highest in the world; and though it is
now ascertained, that they are exceeded
in height by those of Tartary, they may
still he classed among the singular pro
diictlons of nature. As climate is regula
ted by elevation as much as by latitude
the inhahitautsof of New Grenada may be*
said to live in the extremes of beat and
cold, and in all the different degrees of
temperature which are to be be fond be
tween the two extremes of habitable
countries. The situation of these moun
tains, their elevation, and their pe
culiar formation,as well as (hr ir produc
lions, have received much light from the
journeys of Baron Humboldt, whose pa
lieni and laborious investigations have
been communicated to the public
Europeans accustomed to behold the
constant succession of seasons, can scarcely
believe that, in the midst of the inn id
zone, which they suppose to be visited
with the eternal ardours of a burning
sun, ah >he frui's of our climate can be
produced in their fullest perfection at all
tieriuds. The succession of flowers, of
fruits, and of pastures, is constant; and,
within the same liorrizon, they may be
seen budding, flowering, and bearing
ripened and unripened fruits at the
same time. Even the same tree may be
seen in flower, with green and ripe fruits,
without any sensible declension in itsve
gvtaiive faculties being perceived to
arise from this constant re-produc
tion. Although vegetation is constate
thro’the whole of Ihtyiew kingdom, there
is a considerable difference arising from
kite influence of climate which is crea
ted by ‘he various bendings and aspects
of the montains, by the height of the sta
tion, the winds which prevail, and other
local circumstances. AVe may expert
ence lbs temperature of all the climates
of the world within the compass nt a few
leagues and their various produ nioiVfe
may all be cultivated within the saute li
miled space.
The vegetable productions of the best
peopled divisions of New Granada an
similar to those of Europe. They have
abundance of apples, pears, peaches,
plumbs, figs, cherries, iic. and they art
ill bearing through the whole year—
AVheal is both good and productive anti
might be reaped in every month, but by
a kind of understood agreement between
the cultivators themselves, and between
the masters and servants, it is sowed bin
twice, and they have one wheat harvest
in January and the second in August.—
Humboldt, after diligent inquiry into the
increase of wheal in different countries,
states it in Fiance, Germany, and Po
land, to be 5 to 6 fori; in Hungary,
Croatia, and Sciavonis, Bto 10 tor I; in
La Plata 12 for 1; in Northern Mexic<
16 fur 1; in Equinoxiai Mexico 24 fin 1;
and in the province of Pasto, in New
Granada, he says they commonly produce
| 25, and, in fertile years, 85 for 1
I Bfcrly is sowed in every mouth of the
year. It Is rot used as food for man, but
is grown mar the cities,'and cut in a
green state for the horses of the rich
er class. None is suffered to stand till
harvest, except sufficient to furnish seed
for the green crops of the following year.
The markets of the cities of Santa F'-,
Quito, and Popayan, are furnished with
varieties of fruits which can meet in no
other countries. The apples and pea’s of
Europe, cherries and slravyberries, are to.
he seen with plantains, bannanas, guavas;
pine-apples and die other productions of
the tropical regions.
The polatm s, for which Europe is in
debted to New Granada, are there of two
species, though of the same genus. One,
called papas de Anno, is the same as has
been transplanted and diffused through
America and F.urope, anil which has nu
merous varieties. The other is called Pa
pas de Criollas; they are more delicate
of flavour, easier tube applied to vaiious
kinds of cookery, ami so abundant in
their increase >s to obtain a general pre
ference over every olhey vegetable as
food for the inhabitants. These ciiollas
are to be found in every altitude of the
cold regions, even in those situations
which are too cold for human existence. —
The seed from higher regions is necessa
ry every year to renew them in the lower,
when those produced there will not grow.
The primitive stock maintains itself in
the highest situations in all the openings
of the woods: it is known as the Pupa Sil
vestris, and is probably the origin of all
the different species of that useful plant,
which has become diffused throughout
the world.
A most important vegetable production
to the inhabitants of Santa Fe, is a root
known there by the Indian name
o< Arracacha It resembles somewhat the
European celery, but grows to much larg
er size, is of various colours, and bl an
ches out in different directions, in shoots
w hich,both in shape and size resemble the
horn of a cow. Its flavour is pleasant,
and it is accounted most nutritions, and
is given to the sick and the convalescent
tin account of its lightness of digcStiOn.
Olives, vines, oranges, and lemons, do
not arrive at perfection on thd elevated
land, and the inhabitants have no induce
ment to force them by artificial n cans, as
they are abundantly and cheaply supplied
from the warm regions which are wttiiio a
few leagues of them. Such is the, boun
ty of nature in dispensing her fruits* that
lit*le attention is given or required by
man: the trees are never grafted nor the
fields manured.
The most extract'd,nary production in
the vicinity of the cocoa district is a spe
cies of grass called Gnmaloie ,• its blade
resembles barley, but is 'onp er, broader,
thicker, and rougher. It grows in many
places, and attains'he proi ipiouH height
of eight or nine feet. In the time of tile
inundations it is beaten down, undbe
cotpi s rotten, but as soon as the wa
ter has subsided and it begins to got dry,
'lie heat of the sun produces a quickness
of vegetation unknown to another tribe
of vegetables In a few days it shoots up
tolls natural growth, and then furnishes
to the proprietors of cattle the most nu
trious means for fattening thehi that is
known in any part of the world.
In the best inhabited parts of the vicc
royally, they are neither troubled with
mosquetocK, jegos, or any venomous
snakes. Hurricanes, tempests, and earth
quakes are unknow n near the capiti I; but
the southern part of the country seems
to be the theatre on which the latter ex
hibit their greatest force.
The temperate elevations arc peculiar
ly henlthyj the length of human life, and
the increase of population consequent
upon it, exceeds that in any other part of
the Spanish dominions, and perlmps any
other country in the globe. The most
common disease is the dropsy, which af
flicts all ages, but more especially advanc
ed life. It is supposed to arise from that
want of due perspiration, which is ex
perienced in a climate of moderate tem
perature, and unvaried uniformity. The
common cure for this disease is a journey
to the warm regions below them; if the
removal is made by gradual descents
from one warm situation to another, the
patient does not suffer, but receives be
nefit, when thus removed even from ex
treme cold to extreme heat. Those who
are most anxious to preserve their health
change their residence from o.te climate
to another annually.
The birds of this region are very nu
merous, with plumage of the most bril
liant and beautiful colours The conduur,
01 bustard of America, is a bird of great
strength, sometimes eighteen feet from
the extremity of wing to wing when ex
tended, It is to be found in ail the cli
mates of South America, hut makes its
nest only in the high and cold regions,
in the concavities of rocks covered with
thorny plants, where it is inaccessible to
man. It is fierce, and frequency com
mits depredations on the smaller kinds of
animals. Migratory ducks, of ave ry large
s'ze, and inumerable flocks, make their
appearance on toe lakes in the months of
January, February, and March Tlie na
tives who wish to lake them, float a great
number of calabashes on I lie surface of
the lakes they frequent, till the birds be
come familiarized to them. Men with
calabashes on their heads, level with the
water, then go into the pools, ami the
ducks permit their approach sufficiently
near to seize them by the feet, and draw
them under water- This they do with
out disturbing the flock, who are tints
caught in very great numbers. The tur
bid state of the water in these pools is a
very great assistant to the sportsmen in
the taking litis species of wild fowl.—
Another species of these ducks, migrato
ry likewise, but in smaller numbers is
found of a beautiful rose colour, which
are more highly valued as food by the
natives than the others.
They have a bird which, for its curious
instinct, deserves to be noticed. It is
called the Trumpeter by the Spaniards,
and Agami by tire Indians, it is easily
domesticated; and taught to act as a guide
and protector of the other poultry. 1>

fowls, to the field to feed in the morning,
conduct them home in the evening, and

New Granada, though inferior in the
quantity of the precious metals yielded
b) 4 iti mines, to Mexico and Hein, is known
to abound with all die mineral wealth
w Inch those two countries possess. Gold
mines have oeen found in the mountains
if Guamoco and Atitiequia; but they are
very slightly woAed, and produce hut lit
tie.
Plstina is the exclusive production of
New GranadS; ii is found only in the pro
vince of Choro, to the wes* of the Andes,
and in the province 1 of Barhacoa, between
the 2d and 6lh degtee of north latitude.
It is peculiar to one a'hivial spot of
ground, about six hundred square lea
gues.
It is generally supposed that the richest
mines are Unexplored, an'J even un
known to the Spaniards. A sensible re
siilent in Choco, whose notes are before
ns. says, “1 know that in Choco, the In
dians have knowledge of several rich
mines of gold, whose existence they ob
stinately conceal from the whites, be
cause thty say they reserve them for
themselves or their heirs, when they shall
be freed from the Spanish yoke, which
they all believe will some day happen.
All the various c'as-ses of inhabitants
in the Spanish settlements, numerous as
they are, and distinguished by jealousies
greater in proportion to their proximity,
are derived from the three races of Euro
peans, Indians ami Africans. Considera
ble number* of each cf those races have
continued, tver since the first settlement
of N r w Granada, without any mixture
with the other classes. Many families <f
(he European race, the descendants of
the first conquerors, or the more early
settlers, have continued, without any le
gitimate intercourse with the o'her races,
to transmit through successive genera
tions the pure Caal.illian blood. These
have the rank, and frequently the titles
of nobility; they are the proprietors cf
liie most extensive estates, and some
times «»f the most valuable mines. Their
pride is exercised with considerable ri
gour; notwithstanding the restraints plac
ed on tMeir anihoiity by the mild
laws which are framed in Europe. Those
whiles of ancient origin, but of An-eri
can birth,are rarely trusted with any high
offices in the church, the state, or the na
vy The few w hile inhabitants of Euro
pean birth who are sent by the court of
Madrid to America, are in almost excln
site possession cf eveiy office of emolu
ment or authority. The ancient nobility
of Amvrica view (he officers who an
sent from Spain with a mixture of envy,
jealousy, hatred, and disdain, but ill sup
pressed by the fear of the superior pow
er with which they are invested.
Besides the unmixed race of native
Whites, there are great numbers of inha
bitants descended from the European
men and Indian women. The first and
second generation of these are consider
ed asndegradcd cast; but in the course
of nfew generations, each increasing in
die proportion of the white blood,
tlu-v enme to he considered as whites, and
tho’ they scarcely attain to the dignity of
the pure European race, they a sumo a
rank in proportion to their nearer ap
proximation to that complexion This
description of persons increases more ra
pidly than any other cast. Every union
with a wdiile person elevates the off
spring one step in society, and hence all
the various tints are ambitious of con
tracting matrimony with those who are
whiter than themselves. '1 he intermedi
ate casts, after several crosses, are gene
rally, when spt nking of the mass, con
founded with the pure whites, and distin
guished from the Europeans by the name
es Creoles. It is under this denomination
w® shall speak of them in the futer part
of this article, as it will be a sufficient
distinction between them and the other
casts The proportion of the numbers of
the Creoles to the other inhabitants varies
in the different setlemenls, but in the
kingdom of New Granada they bear a
larger proportion to the whole population
than in any other country. In the whole
of Spanish America they are estimated at
one-fourth, but in this viceroyalty they
are considered to he between one-third
and two-fifths of the inhabitants. Their
wealth far exceeds the proportion of their
numbers: the land, the mines, the cattle,
the utensils, and the arts of industry, are
principally to be found in this class; the
few manufactories that have been estab
lished are conducted by them, and the
Indians are employed as their workmen.
The oppressions they practice towards
that unfortunate race are such as no laws
have yet been able to relieve them from;
every salutary regulation that cunld be
devised in iheir behalf has been enacted
W the execution has been lamentably
defective
The chiefs who rule these Indian tribes
are under the superintendence of the cor
regidnrs, who are considered as their
guardians; and the people, in ihe eye of
the law, considered as in Hors, in a state of
pupilage. They cun enter into no con
(racts, nor do any other act, without ihe di
rection of their chief, who avails himself of
this condition of their being, (o enrich him
self from their scanty possessions, when
ever, he can blind or bribe the corregidor,
by whom be is con'rolled. Whils’ rest
ding in their native villages, these Indicns
can contrac* no marriages with the whites.
The only liberty they enjoy is the power
. removing fioin their towns to the pla
ces where no chief inks. This they can
do at their pleasure, and may then hire
themselves as servants or labourers for
their own account In these changes of
situation, they too often only remove
from the slavery of their native chief to
the worse slavery of their own vicious
propensities. Like all uncivilized people,
they are 1 xccssively addicted to the abuse
of ardent spirits; the first money obtained
bv labour is generally applied to this per
nicious gratification. The Creoles, who
know their weakness, when they wish to
engage them as workmen in mines or
manufactories, gratify them with spirits,
till they become indebted to the n in such
sums us give lilt in a power to keep them
at work on iheir own tcims, under pre
teuce of extricating them from the debts
they have contracted. As in these situa
tions they have no natural protector, ei
ther in their own chits or theircorregidor,
as they had fit their native villages, they
become the prey of the Creoles, who know
they are notable to procure redress from
die ordinary courts cf law, winch arc
both tedious and expensive. In spite of
the benevolent attention whic the court of
Span has constantly given to the sit nation
of the Indians, the lot of the general mass,
though in law they are freemen, is cer
tainiy much worse than that of the Negro
slaves in the Spanish dominions, or even
of the slaves in the English, Dutch, and
French colonies, where they are treated
with more harshness than by the Span
lai ds.
New Granada has partaken less of the in
iquity of the African slave trade, than
an? other division of the western world,
except Mexicg In the interior, the most
populous part of the country, there arc
few or no negro slaves. What do exist
are in the towns on the coast, or in the
plantations in the lower and warmer cli
mates, where the tropical productions are
cultivated. Os late years, very few have!
been imported: an 1 those who were for
merly brought into the country have so
mixed with the other races, from the na
tural desire of bettering the condition of
their offspring, that the number of mulat
toes, quadefooii*, qninteloons, and other
mixtures of whites and negroes, far out
number thehinmixed blacks, and the Zani
bos, the race between the Negro and the
Indian, are supposed fully to equal them.
Both the Indian and negro populaHiim
are carcfn ly imbued with the doctrines
of the Catholic religion. The missiona
ries are numerous, sober, and diligent;
and, if the ceremonies of the church have
no great tendency to enlighten the minds
or amend the morals,of these casts, it can
not he drnhtrd that, by the example of
more cleanliness, industry, and freedom,
they must produce some good; and. per
haps the practice of auricular confession,
which, in polished society, and with civi
lized people, begets either, hypocrisy or
mental debility, may, with those rude peo
ple, be made the instrument, of corn c'-
Inga' me oft heir grosser viot s Though
the missions arc scattered over die whole
country, the number of priests, includ
ing ho'h regular and secular, is far less
•ban in the Catholic countries of Europe,
The best benefices are generally filled by
European Spaniards; th-ugh there have
been instances (f Creoh s anil Ind ans be
ing promoted to the Episcopal chair. A
gre-t degree of animosity and jealousy
sub,Vs between the Indian and the Ne
gro races. The latter, but more especi
ally their descendants, the Mulatoes,
view the former with contempt and dis
dain; and tlie poor timid Indians hate, but
cannot despise, the Negroes ami Mi.lat
toes, whose activity and exertion is
greater, and who appear to have natural
ly minds less degraded.

The inquest upon the bodies of the
two persons killed bv the life guards qn
the occasion of the Queen’s funeral had
been adjourned, and it was supposed
that one month would not be sufficient
time for the termination of their labors.
Tlie King’s visit to Ireland continued
to engross the most of the attention of
the people of England. In his reply, to
■ tlie address of tlie Catholics on the occa
sion, he says, “ it was my earnest wish' iri
visiting this part of my united kingdom,
that an eqttal degree of satisfaction may he
diffused amongst all descriptions my faith
ful subjects in Ireland; that’wish is happi
ly and fully accomplished.” To tlie So
defy of Friends he says, “ The loyalty
of your principles, and your regular and
peaceable conduct, entitle you to my
good opinion and esteem You may re
ly upon my constant protection, and in
the continuance of those privileges
which yon now so justly possess.” To
the Presbyterian llissenters he replied,—
“ I have the fullest confidence in your
faithful and firm attachment to my person
and th.ionejjand you may be assured of my
constant protection of those civil and reli
giouslioerties which are the birthright of
my people.”
Considerable excitement existed at Li
verpool on the subject of the late Queen’s
funeral.
The Paris papers continue to assert,
that a final result of the proceedings on the
continent, will be a war between Russia Si
- 'fui key; and that the protracted negocia
lions will only s*rvc to make it more hor
rible, by giving time for preparations lor
attack and defence, on the part if the
respective governments who arc to be en
gaged in it.
No event of importance had transpired
between the Greeks and Turks.
The Baris papers s'ate that the * Jifen
aiah,’ whose arrival in Greece was lately
announced, is no other tnan Joseph Bo
naparte !
The Greeks in the isles of the Archipe
lago arc successfully shaking off the
Turkish yoke. Some insurrections had
