From the Scotsman,
TO THE GREEKS,
Arise, arise! the time is come,
Thy »hlc« are brieht’ning reJ,
'Tin Glory call* thee from the tomb,
With voice to wake tbe dead;
No weakness now,no dull delay,
Fair load of Greece, for thee;
Then rouse theo from thy dentb-like pall,
The breves of thy mountains call
To life and liberty -. •
And gird thee w ith thy gUtlVing sword,
To cut thyself away
Through thousand, of the Turkish hordes.
To tyranny's decay;
0! dream not that tby spirit’s fled.
While yet one bosom burn.,
And tbe ashes of the glorious dead,
That nobly fought, and never fled,
Arc starting from their unis.
Unfold thy banners to the breeze,
And marshal cv'ry man,
From Ida to the lonian seas,
With freedom in the van:
The tyrant's step is faltering now j
The world will smile to see
Tbe standard of the Sultan low—
The crescent sink beneath the blow
That’s IcveU'd by the free.
The Albanian from Epirus’ strand
The lonianjfram the tea,
Tht Spartan and Thessalian band
Arc burning to be free;
Mount Athos sees the Cross on high
Above it* Convents wave,
Religion tires the coldest eye—
The night of slavery has gone by,
And God is with the brave.
Can age* tame the warrior's arm,
Beside th’ Aagian Ulos f
Can youth’s high blood forget to warm
When first its country smiles ?
O! by the thrilling
That swell'd upon the sea,
When victory saw with joyfid eye,
That Athens yet was free!
Think not of an ignoble paact .
Unsheathe the sword ne’er sheath’d of yore,
And dye thy streams with Turkish gore,
-f w Glory «iri for Green. !

The Board of Censors, for the state
of Georgia, appointed at the last gene
ral meeting, seeing, with deep regret and
commisseration, the uidue influence
that is exercised by the, young Ladies
of this state, over the ether sex, have
deemed it necessary to call an extra
[ meeting of the Board, diffuse more
extensively, and promulgate more for
’ cibly, their laws; and infect such pun
ishment on delinquents, at in their wis
dom and justice, they may thii|k proper*
This will appear the more necessary,
when we reflect on the influence we
possess over the minds, conduct and ac
tions of the other sex.—We are the in
centive to every laudable pursuit—-the
stimulus to every noble achieve
ment. —For us they tread the ru«-
. ged path to Fame’s proud temple—
i for us they live—for us they die. “We
can overturn systems with a smile—de
‘ stroy the most perfect reasoning with a
! nod, and unphilosophise the soul of a
, stoic,” when it comports with our wish
i es. In fact, we can say, in truth and in
: varity, with the Poet: “AH who see
’ us must adore us.” And since a bene
ficent Creator has so profusely scatter
ed his blessings around us, and placed
us in our inevitable situation, shall we
pot extend a partial retribution to our
mentals? shall we not save them the
trouble, and spare them the pains of a
modern 1 Lover’s Leap ?’ or the des
pondency, mania and death, that inevi
tably await them, shou d they be prelu
ded from an access to the recently dis
covered, infallible medicinal waters of
oblivion, which it is our interest to keep
concealed from them. And, notwith
standing it may afford you peculiar gra
tification to achieve conqests, and make
accessions to the catalogue of your cap
tives, yet it is imperatively our duty to
restrict your latitude, ami Jay down cer-.
tain irresistible rules, by which to go
vern your conduct, and influenced your
actions. Therefore,
Resolved , That no young ,lady be
permitted to marry before she is twelve
years of age, and that no young lady
under fifteen, shall have more than ele
ven beaus-a week, nor permit more than
three to accompany her from church—
that no young lady shall be engaged to
more than four young men at the same
time—that no young lady, under twen
ty-five, shall assume any of the airs of a
coquet,” in order to allure young men to
make love to her, so long as she contin.
ues to have one casual beau a month—
that no young lady reject more than
twenty-four beaus a month, nor have
more, during the state of her celibacy,
than one hundred ami twenty-one—that
no young lady, under twcnty f fivc, shall
wear more than seven combs in her hair,
and five toupets—that hereafter, it shall
not be absolutely necessary that a young
lady should have a beau killed in a duel,
previous to her marriage, but it is re
quisite that she have a duel fought about
her, or a challenge given or accepted—
that no young lady under eighteen, shall
marry any young man, until he has paid
her assiduous homage, at least that no
young lady is hound to treat any young
man with civility that remains longer
than thirty-three months, six hours at a
time when he visits her—but no young
lady, over twenty-five, or widow of any
age, is considered as barred by any of
these statutes of restriction or limitation,
bat be permitted to use any artificial
embellishments to decorate her person,
and have as many beaus as she can .get.
Resolved , That, in case a young lady
has a numerous retinue and is incompe
tent to make a selection, we feel it our
duty, to delineate briefly, the qualifica
tions of a modern minion, popularly
called a lady’s lap dog, in order that she
may he partially acquainted with the
character ami appearance of the most
fashionable beau, and thereby be assist
ed in making a choice. In the first
place, he must be a modern fine lady’s
modern gentleman; he must be out of
employment, or if employed in any
business, his expenditure must be one
third greater than his income—he must
dress foppishly—be an interpreter of
dreams—skilled in fortune-telling—
conversant with a few romances—a
standing subscriber to balls, in at least
three counties—deeply versed in court
etiquette, (we do not mean Mr. Adams’s
elaborate production, but merely (lie
number of roclinations of the head, on
particular occasions, and common-place
ceremonies, A r c. &c.) —a cringing syca
phant—-an inflated coxcomb—an in
cessant* talker, about what ? nothing—
a witty buffoon—a ciculating library of
neighborhood news—a presumptuous,
superficial, fangled idiot,—some of
which qualifications, if not all of them,
are essentially important to direct you
in your selection.

The FORTUNES o/NIOEL.
A Romance, by the author of JFaverlu.
2 vols. '
This is a story of a young Scotch
Lord, raw from a Dutch college, who
goes up to Loudon to solicit of the King,
then James I. the payment of a sum of
money due from the crown, for the purj
pose of redeeming his paternal inher -
tance from the foreclosure of a weighty 1
, mortgage—the young man is accompa
nied by a servant, Mr. Richard nnd
Moniplies, a shrewd, blunt, straight-for
ward, obstinate Scot, who had been
brought up a victualler, and who, with
much deference' to the (t great unknown
author,” as the literary amateurs style
him, is pushed forward in life vastly be
yond the proraise|of his education.
The personage, whose name of Nigel
Olifaunt, Lord Glenvarlock, give s title
to the work before us, first makes ac
quaintance with a lively London land
lady, then with Master George Heriot,
a dealer in moneys, who comes to his
lordship’s acquaintance through a bro
ken head received from the London
’prentices by Moniplies, and who, with
an unusual liberality, at once relieves
Nigel from his pecuniary embarras
nicuts. Glenvarlock subsequently finds
a friend to press his claim in an old
Scotch lord, the former enemy of Nigel's
house ; ami the son of this old Scotch
man, the lord Dalgarno, introduces
Glenvarlock to an ordinary, kept by a
comical Frenchman, where he gets to
gambling, disgraces himself, quarrels
with Dalgarno as the cause of his folly,
violates the laws by making a riot with
in the verge of the palace, flies for safe
ty from punishment for the offence to
the midst of a nest of villains in the
Wbitefriars, takes lodgings with a not
ed miser, kills a robber and murderer,
rescues the miser’s daughter with all
her treasure, submits to the King’s mer
cy, is confined in the Tower, finally re
leased, recovers his estate, and, with
the royal sanction, marries Miss Marga
ret Ramsay, the daughter of the horol o
gerofhis sacred Majesty. Dalgarno,
having seduced Nelly Cristie, the in
keeper’s wife, where Glenvarlock lodg
ed, is compelled to espouse a lady to
whom he had been previously united by
a sham marriage in Spain, is disgraced
by King James, leaves the court, and is
murdered by 4 banditti led on by a bul
ly of the name of Colcoepper or Pepper
cull.
The author of the“ F ortunes of Nigel”
has attempted, it would seem, to pourtray
the characteristics and manners of the
reign of James I. and it is possible he
may have caught some faint-colouriiig of
the complexion of society qf that .peri
od. But almost all his personifications,
if we may judge from the general prin
ciples of human naturp, are caricatures.
There is much too of plagiarism from
the author’s seif and others, in the work.
Capt. Colepepper is nothing more than
a new edition of the Capt. Robadil of
Ben Johnson; and lord Glenvarlock
himself is just such another piece of
flesh and blood as Wavorly. The tale
is, in all its parts, an improbable one j
and foolish as the first Stuart who occu
pied the English throne is represented
in history, he could never have been so
sheer a coward and harlequin as this ro
mance represents him. The vulgar
slang introduced in the course of the vo
lumes is disgusting, and would suit
much better with a Billingsgate calen
der than with a production intended
for readers of taste and delicacy, and for
the public at large. There is not a sin
gle situation in which Nigel excites
compassion: he is always a nose of wax,
or a blustering, passionate fellow ; al
ways acting from the sudden impulse of
feeling without referring to his reason
as a guide. Margaret Ramsay and
Martha Trapbois are mere counterparts,
in lower life, of the two principal female
characters in Waverly, upon which no
vel the writer, re-firawing, as it were,
on his own intellectual funds, has, with
considerable art it must be admitted,
fashioned much of the performance un
der present notice. Ft would be too
tiresome and unprofitable to go into a
comparison of the two works; but those
who have read them both with attention
must, we think, be struck with the sim
ilitude. It is very doubtful whether
such a cold-blooded, unimpassioned, ac
complished villain as Dalgarno ever
existed; and it is not at all likely that a
woman with such strong common-sense
as that possessed by Martha Trapbois,
would have bestowed her hand, and fif
ty thousand pounds sterling, upon the
person of Richard Moniplies. To ren
der even fiction pleasing, it should par
take pf a sufficient degree of probability
not to violate ideas already formed in
the mind ; unless, indeed, a writer
launches altogether into the regions of
the imagination, and deals solely in fai
ry tales, a strain of invention which the
author of “The Fortunes of Nigel”
does not pretend to.
Whilst we admire sound English lit
erature, we do not in the least feel in
clined to countenance the (rasli that is
thrown out from the British press; and
we trust die day is not far distant when
our own literature, like our manufac
tures, will look up towards a successful
rivalry of the best specimens of the gen
ius and composition of the master-spir
its of the United Kingdoms, among
which it will be perceived that we do
not rank the volumes in question.

By the arrival of the Backet Ship
’ Columbia, Capt. Rogers, in 37 days
from Liverpool, we have received our
regular files of London and Liverpool
papers, the former to the 30th June,
and the latter of the 2d July, the day
she sailed. We are also indebted to
Capt. Rogers, for a file of the latest pa
’ pers.
The Royal Assent was given on the
24th June, to the West India and A
merican Trade Bills, the Navigation
Laws Amendment Bjll, the Colonial
Trade Bill, and t|ie Importation Goods
1 Bill.
Rumours had reached London, of the
Turks having refused to evacuate Mol
, davia and Wallachia, but the London
Courier, pf the 27th June contradicts
4herp, and says the accounts from Con
stantinople and Vienna, are entirely pa
■ cific. The latest from Vienna state,
That the Rois-Effendi, who had ori
ginally only gven a verbal assurance of
the intended evacuation of the Princi
palities, has transmitted to each of the
Ministers of the Allied Powers, a copy
1 of the order sent by the Divan to recall
the Asiatic troops, and to adopt every
[ measure necessary to prevent vexations
and disorders from being committed in
' their retreat.”
The intelligence from Madrid is to
the 14th June, at which time the move
’ ments of the Insurgents were said to be
| daring, and the means adopted to sup
: press them attended with very little
• success.—The Cortes adopted the pro
’ position of the Committee of War and
Finance, and 20,000 militia were to be
" called immediately into actual service.
The London Courier, Jpne 28, says
’ — u The peace of Europe will not be
disturbed. The Congress that is to be
held at Florence in September, will be
removed from thence to Verona.”
Intelligence from St. Petersburg,
’ states, that the Imperial Guards had re
-1 ccivcd orders to return to that capital,
which was considered decisive of the
J pacific settlement of the differences with
the Turkish government.
The emperor of Russia had ordered
certain Greeks; which he styled “ noto
rious abettors of Ypsilanti,” to leave his
’ territories.
1 Intelligence of the complete settlement
of the differences with the Chinese Go
vernment, had been received in Lop
’ don.
The accounts of the capture of Gene
-1 ral Berton is confirmed; he has been
sent to Poictiers to be tried.
The Paris papers contain accounts
of fresh plots and differences between
the King and Cortes, by which it would
appear that the affairs of Spain were
fast approaching to a crisis. The march
of Lrench troops to the Pyranees con
tinued, but it was stated that it was ow
ing to the new regulation in the milita
ry state of France. Movements of
troops took place in every other direc
tion as well as towards the Pyranees.
The Irish papers continue to present
the heart rending descriptions of want
, and misery with which the peasantry
are aflictcd. By official returns pub
lished by the Cork Committee, it ap
pears that in that city alone upwards
of 20,000 persons are in want of em
ployment and food.—jLabour has fab :
len so'much in value, that. mechanics :
who formerly earned three shillings per i
day, are thankful for employment at 5 i
pence per day on the public roads. (
