Fresh reeking from his -country’s wars i
Give him the wreath, too dearly wen, ]
And bind it on his brow of *tonc ;
But, lady, twine it not -for me,
*Ti. bloody stiMcVji twined by thee-!
It feeds upon the orphan’s sigh,
*Ti» water'd from the widow’s eye s
And some lorn maid, with hand asfair,
May wreath the cypress in despair,
To decorate the same cold tomb
From which your laurel takes its bloom ;
Then, lady, twme that wreath no more,
Nor tinge that snowy hand with gore j
But twine for me the myrtle bough,
Twine, twine itlady, twine it now !
Observe how fresh-and heavenly Wr
It wantons in the zeph'ry aifi
See how it woes the sportive wind,
Which bends it to thee to be twined j

Nor till the dew-drop fly its flower;.
Now Youth, aiid Hope, and Love, are mine;
The blowing youth of Hebe thine j
Then, angel Hebe, ere one trace
Os dimpled joy shall fly that face,
Pluck, pluck its boughs with frolic hand.
And twine for me the Myrtle Hand.

Captain Collin, of the ship Telegiaph,
arrived here from Liverpool, has brought
out with him the specimens of bunk note*,

auk of England. They are beautifully
executed, and so superior to any other I
plan off ree by the London artists and en- I
graver* shat there is little doubt but that I
they a ill he adopted by the Commissioners I
Meanwhile, thoa,- gentlemen wid be paid I
for thelr genius and invention. It will b- I
winerabewid, that Messrs. Perkins and I
Fairman went to London, tinder an engage-1
meal with Mr. Ragut, the llritish minister, I
who was much impressed with the supe- I
rior style of their bank note'engraving. It I
will he flattering to the genius of our I
country,'if, in despite of British prejudice I
and British talent, the works of those I
gentlemen should be adopted. As wt I
have rivalled Europe in the productions of |
the pencil, by works of West, Trumbull, I
Copely, Alston, Leslie and Newton ; we I
m-vv bid fair t« exceed them in the art 01 I
engraving, not only for superior execution, I
■but superior despatch. It is to be hoped I
thtti more attention will be paid among us I
to the encouragement of the fine arts, I
and that the saloon of the Academv, and I
the gallery of the Rotunda, will not long 1
remain in their present deserted statu. I
We hare in this city a few matchless pic I
tures ; the Ariadne and Marius, ofVande-1
lyn, are* exquisite productions. The lat- I
ter, at the exhibition of the Louvre, receiv-1
ed the gold medal. Napoleon was much I
struck with Marius sitting on the mins of I
Caithage, and expressed in warm com- I
mendation his admiration of the talent of I
the painter. How little did he dream off
a similar fate! The walls of the Academy I
of Fine Arts are embellished with the I
works of West, Trumbull, Waldo, Jarvis, I
and n number of exquisite paintings pre-1
jented by friends of the Academy j and I
then* is reason to believe that the next |
Spring exhibition will be honorable to the I
talent* of our artisU, and offer a rich treat I
to the lovers of taste and genius. 11

I It will not be necessary in the discussion

MILITARY APPROPRIATIONS.
The House then resolved itself into a
committee of the whole, Mr. JVefion ofVa.
in the chair, on tile bill making appropria
tions for the support of the Military Esta
blishment of the United States.
[To the same committee was to-day. re
ferred the bill ‘ respecting Uie Military
Establishment.]
The last mentioned bill was first taken
up, and having been read —
Mr. Cannon moved to strike out all the
first section of the bill excepting the enact
ing clause, and in lieu thereof to insert the
following:
“ That the Military Peace Establishment
of the United States shall consist of such
proportions of Artillery Engineers, lnf>ic
try and Riflemen, as the President of the
United States shall judge proper u> retain
in service, tint exceeding in the whole,
including officers, non-commissioned offi
cers and privates, five thousand ”
The question was taken on this motion
without debate, and decided in the
affirmative.

support of the Military Establishment, so
tin- current y*or. y’as then laken up-
On coming to the appropriation for tlu
support of tile Military Academy for th
present year—
Mr. Cannon spoke at some length agayis
this appropriation, onihe ground of host* •
ity to the ihstitutionitself; conceiving that;
the money levied by taxes on the Peop!
and on the poor as well as the rich, couff
be better employed than ofi the gratuitun
instruction of a privileged class of youth
Mr. Smith, of Maryland, remarked th;.
the arguments of the gentleman woul
well apply to a proposition to abolish tin
institutions but did not apply with an_
forcc to the question in hand, which wm
. not the Establishment of the Academy
lint the appropriation of money to defray
expences already authorized by law.
Mr. Cannon was so little disposed to con
tinne this Establishment, that he was wl’-
ling to arrest, or ut least to reduce, the up
i propriation. Hut, in order to get at a pro
i position to reduce the expence of tlu
Establishment, or to abolish it, Mr. C. mo
ved to lay this bill on the table.
After some observations from .Mr. Stro
ther in opposition to this motion, the ques
’ tion was taken thereon, and decided in tin
egative.
Mr. Cannon had proposed a sum less
5 tJx’Rloo'.T- the Chairman of tlu
COTLinilteO f>i i'nf ♦)»£* Mny
port of the Military Academy. So that two
questions were presented: the one on a
r certain sum necessary to the support o(
the Academy as it now stands, and the
■ other on u less stun. The question being
1 taken, according to usage, on the largest
• amount, it was decided in the affirmative,
■ by v large majority.
The committee proceeded to the con
i si J Ration of the other items of appro
i. priation. 1 ’
i The item of 21,000 dollars, for bounties
ami premiums on enlistments of recruits
to fill up the Army, coming up—
Mr Il iUmms of Nurtl* Carolina, opposed
this item, on the ground (hat there was no
necessity for increasing the number of the
Army beyond their present actual amount.
.Ur. Smith', of Maryland, supported the
appropriation as being almost a matter of
course, and, generally, on the ground thru
the Army uu - lit not to he reduced at a'!
hut, if reduced, that it ought to be by a di
rect vote.
Mr. Trimble declared himself to be in
favor of a reduction of the Army, but in a
practicatible way; and he thought that to
attempt it in this wav, would h *: serve to
weak- n the efforts which should hereafter
he made directly to effect the same object
She amb was opposed to this appro
priation j and, byway of shewing how
cautious the House ought to be in making
its appropriations, said, that it appeared,
from documents laid before the House,
that powder and lead belonging to the
government had beer, loaned to bankrupts
to the amount of 24J.0CW dollars—the re
payment of which the House is coolly in
formed, by the officer having charge of
biach ot the service, was precat ions,
and in order to mend the matter, that I t,OOO
iollars more had been advanced in money
to the same persons. 1
Mr. Cobb made a few remarks against
the appropriation.
Mr. Uvermore delivered his sentiments
u favor of a reduction of the army. Rut,
lie said, though many were in favor of that
reduction, there were also many who were
opposed to it—and the only Way in which
the former could secure their object, was
to reduce the appropriation. If the ap
probations were made, the ground was
g'VCB iip. He was of opinion, therefore, .
that the friends ®f the reduction should
make use of the weapons that lay in then
way. He thought the army too large, and
uselessly employed. It would take longer
to collect this army, which was scattered
about like sheep of the shepherd among,
m*ny hills—to bring them from Hie Yellow
Stone, and the remote corners of the
earth, than to raise up a new army. He
also complained of the magnitude of 'he
Army, as being disproportionate to its
numbers, he.
Mr. Baldwin made some remarks ex
planatory of the occasion of tneir appro
priation. 11
»si-. Foot, with a view to present direct- ■
ly t» the House the question of authoriz
ing the enlistment of men to aupplv va- ,
caneies occurring in the ranks, moved to I
strike out from the bill all that relates to
appropriations for recruiting expenses
Mr, Smith,-of Maryland opposed the mo
tion.
Debate began to be essenti
ally a debate on the reduction of the army.]
Mr Simliut delivered hi* opM°riHt
length against the reduction of tfe Arßt, _
and against a coarse which Vo a I subSct*
measures of great nat-onal policy to
t'uaiions depending on the staf of the iW
nances. The sum of this arg'uieuL may
be expressed in the maxim of Vasiußglon,
which he quoted, that to secaeJWßce we
ought to be prepared for- W<r lie de
clared, that he, for one, wood sooner re
sort to loans and taxes than in the pre
sent condition ofthe country role, for like
reduction of the Army and Sivy.
Mr. Rhea said a few worts in defence
of the militia, as compared dth the regu
lar force.
Mr. Simkins disclaimed aiy
depreciate the militia.
Mr. Clay said a few word)
his hope that this bill W ould he
to take its course. These Ifbken
he said, of the friends of t reduction of
the Army, would have the effect to weak
en their strength. For luu&elf, he could
not vote to reduce a man of. the army iu
the present posture ot our affairs. Evert
if the army were to he reduced, he .iid not
know that he should vote against lids item
of appropriation, as it might yet be neces
sary to give such an appropriation, let the
force of the army La* greater or less. Iu
relation -to all expenditures air- ady autho
rized by law, he thought the House should
go on and-make appropriations: in rela
tion to the items of appropriation not pre
viously authorized by law, such as that fop
fortifications, ice.the' House was at full li
hefty to n,e a discretion, Ike.
Mr. Cannon spoke at some length in fa
vor of the proposed amendment, and-of
amuse in favor of arresting the recruiting
of the army. He denied 'lie necessity of
maintaining the army in its present force,
and did nol sec any indications, from any
quarter, of a change in our present atti
tude, to require its maintenance.
Mr. H i turns of N. ('. also again spoke
to the same effect as Mr. C. at some length,
and concluded by a motion that the .com
mittee lise, with the express view of lay
ng this bill on the table, in order to take
p the proposition to reduce the army.
The question on this motion vas decid
'd in the negative, by no large majority.
i tie question on Mr. Coot’s jubon was
then decided in the negative byWlccidjld
majority.
And the item of appropriation for boon
ies, &c. for the recruiting service was u
e-reed to.
The other appropriations in the bill were
hen agreed to, until the House came to
■>e .appropriation for fortifications j far
Such object the committee of Ways and
•leans propose the sum of eight hundred
.hdusand dollars.
Mr. Smith of Md. explained the views of
he Whir Department, and of the commit
tee of Ways and Means, on this subject.—
The Officers having charge of that branch
of the sendee hlld ccomuicnded the ap
propriation of a considerably larger amount
is being necessary under existing con
tracts; but the committee of Ways and
'leans was of opinion that apart of the
imposed amount might he dispensed with,
-vilhout prejudice to the service, and hud
.10 reported.
This item give rise to some brief debate,
which had not terminated when a motion
vas made for die committee to rise, (about
1 o’clock,) and agreed to.
