CA\romc\© aivd OnitUc. PTTIIMRHF.D RVKHY Monday ft Thursday. KoUcea oli Hooka.' f From tha Literary Gazette. 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> will lead the talkies, parrots, and other fowls, to the field to feed in the morning, conduct them home in the evening, and uuring the day give notice of the ap proach of any noxious animal, by tlurpccu liar .-oun.ds from which it has obtained its : ame. 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.
