My much esteem'd acquaintance K ’
You know we’ve had a plenteous rain
In to wn to day ;
Which seem’d to have a tendency
• To keep our streets of loiterers free,
And dust to lay.-
And though it may seem strange to you,
Upon my honest word Mis true
Itjjiiasfes me.
To sec it fall, that is, in reason,
But so tfe not to make, the season ,
Unhealthily.
I thank the ever bounteous gtver,
Who sends enough to raise the river
And yield a crop
Os cotton, corn, and wine, and oil,
Sufficient to reward our toil
In field and shop—
And always fuel more gratified
And better, cool, than scorch’d and fried
In the hot sun.
iVly muse is like a luggagc.boat.
Most profitable when afloat.
And on the run.
And if you say you will agree 1
To read what you may get from me
In prose or rhyme,
I’ll sometimes let you have, a lay,
iluai hkdy on a rainy day,
Prom time to lime.’

The Shipwreck. —Several years since, a
fine, large Kast Indiaman sailed from the
harbor of Boston, with many young men
of the first families in the place on board
The commencement of her course was
prosperous, hut as she was doubhng the
Cape, a sudden gust of wind struck her,
drove her upon the breakers, and every
soul on board perished. All those proud
and gallant spirits, who, a few moments
before, exulted in joy and health, were
swept from existence and entombed in the
deep. Afterwards some superstitious sai
lor brought by saw by night an serial ship,
navigated by unearthly hands, the ghosts
of those who formerly perishtd, sail to the
fatal spot, and sink with an appaling
shriek. And now many befevethat the
disturbed spirits yearly make the same
voyage, and act over the tragic scene
which terminated their mortal existence.
O! saw you that bark, before the blast.
To yon oread breaker speeding her fast (
Her mast was made of the chureh-yard yew,
And hi r sui t were wet with sepu chiiu dew.
That ship was ripp'd os she gloomily rode,
With the ropy i ime oftheloafhsometoad;
A winding-sheet from her top-mmt hunt,
And abroad in tile air as a banner was itong.

As swift to those rocki they fearfully flew.

-BPE.IKE.
It was a cold morning in January, that
1 took tny seat in tike Stage at Albany,
with the intention of proceelingto New-
York Before we crossed the river, w
Stopp. d to take in another passenger—as
rising from a 1 arm bed at 2 o’clock, to
pursue a -cold journey is not apt to twee*
ten the temper, mine could not boast ot
much serenity. I sat fuming and fretting
at ihe delay, when a large man bust led
into the stage, and after some difficulty,
he was settler] to his liking, when we pro
ceeded As we rode over the frozen ri
ver my companion was continually bless
ing uiins ls, and awakened me fKnn a
sweet slumber by swearing with* tremen
dous oath that the whole concern was go
ing to the devil: “ Speak for yourself, sit ,”
said I, peevishly : “ Certainly, sir, he re
plied, out bad company you know.’
Notwjthsta*aing my fellow travellers
pred etion, we reached the oppos'd# shore
in safety, where, at the bumble Inn, which
then was the only House there, we took
in another passenger, who, as the faint
light of the lamp glared on him, seemed
a complete contrast to my portly compan
ion. He sprang lightly mty the vehicle,
whistling the while, and depositing his
little body in one corner, began, in a to
lerable voice, a jolly soug, that soon lull
ed his audience to repose. We were
scarce awake, when we reached the pl»c«
at which we were to breakfast. As 1
Strolled round the house while our meal
was preparing* I observed a boy leaning
I against the fence ; hi* was de
cent, but much worn, and he bore the ap
pearance of having come off a long jour
ney. I enquired whence he came r— ■* t)-
hio, sir,’ was the reply; * that is a great
distance’—--*yes» but I had lifts—l ®
walk all the aay .sir.’ ‘My poof ch.ld, 1
said, what has forced you to wander alone
over such a tract of country?’ He an
, swered that his uncle, had sent him away,
and he was going to New-York to his mo
ther. I was struck with pity for the ur
chin, and, pleased with his intelligent face,
promised to procure him a seat in the
Stage, and ordered him some refresh
ment. The driver consented to admit
him on receiving a small recompense—
'■ and our repast being finished, we recom
menced our journey. The moment Mr.
Kasdale, (as the little man called himself)
saw the poor but, he began with 4 * Hey,
youngster, who are you r—“ Charles Her
, berts, Sir.” « Where did you come from?”
« Ohio, bit.” “\A hy the devil didjou
not stay there ?” “My uncle sent me
away,” said the hoy, omitting the Sir.
<• Aha, you have been about mischief, my
chap—what do you do, eh f” “ Nothing,”
said the boy, in a dogged tone. “ And
ypu are bound to New-York,” continued
his merciless interrogator, “ Who have
you there to look after you?” “My mo
ther keeps a garden.” •* And you are
.goingto live with your poor mother?”
“ No,said the child, with a glowing face,
“ 1 be little, bull be strong—l can work.”
—“And what will will you do?” “Any
thing— everything,” replied the youth.
“ Hum, 1 suspect it will be anything,”
said Mr. Kasdale, ** 1 see you are a know
ing ont, and I dare say 1 shall meet you
in court, or have the trying of you my
self for some state prison business yet—
-1 see it by your eyes " There did lurk a
sly expression in this prophecy—the
blood rush d to the boy’s face, he clench
ed bis hands, and darted an indignant
glance at Mr. Rasdale. When we reach
ed the city, in the bustle of arrival, I for
- got my protegee; and saw him no more
for several years. One morning I chao
ct d to enter the counting roomxif an em
inent merchant, and briield perched on
one of the highest stools my.friend from
Ohio. His employer spoke much in his
favor commending his industry and inte
grity. 1 frequently met him afterwards,
though I did not recognize him, fearing to
mortify him ; he increased in favor witlr
Ins master, and Scented to have every pros
■ pcctof raising himself to affluence. 1
. had just returned from a tour in thecoun
try* when I met Mr. Rasdale ; I had fie
quently seen him, but never recalled our
stage adventure to his remembrance—he
was proceeding to court, whither he in
vited me to accompany him, and witness
an interesting trial; “Itis a youth, said
Rasdale,as we entered the room, whom 1
am to try for forgery—the affair has made
some noise.” The court room Was alrea
dy crowded, but the lawyer procured me
a convenient seat near the enclosure ap
pointed fi'r the prisoner. I was scarce
seated before the prisoner was brought
in ; 1 started, rubbed my eyes—but thev
saw aright; Charles Herberts stood in the
criminal box to be tried by Mi Kalsdale.
His words in the stage flashed over my
mind: “Can the devil speak true?” I ex
claimed, half aloud; “ Will you please to sit
down Sir ?” said one of my neighbors, for I
had risen and was gazing earnestly on the
prisoner. He was composed and firm,
but his form was wasted, and his cheek was
sallow—he lifted not his eyes ftom the
’ground untilcalled upon to declare himself
innocent or guilty; he then raised them,
and pronounced in a firm tone, not
guilty. As ho threw a hurried glance a-
Tound, he saw Rasdale, who had not the
slightest remembrance of Herbert’s face
or name: but when the unhappy youth
beheld tke lawyer, a deadly paleness
blanched his countenance; even his lips
became colorless, and though it was warm
in the crowded apartment, he shivered as
if from severe cold. After a long trial,
which ti is not necessary to relate, the
evidence was so doubtful, his past charac
ter so unimpeachable, that he was acquit
ted. He seemed not to heaflhe welcome
words; Itook Ins hand, which was as cold
as marble. “Young man v you are acquit
ted, you are pronounced innocent.”—
“Will the world ever believe it?” said he,
in a bitter manner, _“Ves, and respect
you for your unmerited sufferings,”
I icplied. Uc slid not answer, and
I left him with the fear that unjust suspi
cion and unmerited disgrace acting on
susceptible feelings had unhinged them
forever. As I had observed to him, Her
berts became an object of universal sym
pathy; his late employer was the first to
seek him, and implore his forgiveness,
offering him any recompense for his suf
ferings, and entreating him to enter his
house again; but Herberts could not lis
ten to Mr. AY’s proposals with composure,
and the good man quitted him, miserable
at the idea of having caused such wretch
edness.
After this occurrence, fortune seemed
<o take delight'in bestowing her favors on
Herberts; his,.uncle, Who had driven him
a beggar from his house, now dying, his
wealth was inherited by Herberts Our
ieto entered into business; business crow

bler, he always won the stakes. He be
anie the husband of a lovely wife, and
’he father of promising and lovely sons
fid daughters; yet rarely did the smile of
• tappi.,ess light up the features of this un
fortunate man —that one dark incident of
his early life, which all the world forgot,
iti' lived to remember. Should conversa
tioneven remotely glance that "ay, he
writhed in agony; and J’ou soon peceived
in talking with him, that there was one
subject which, like the fatal chamber of
Blue Beard, it was death to open. Many
years have not elapsed since 1 was called
to the dying Herberts; though still young
his life was fast drawing to a close Sup
ported in his bed by a pillow, he address
ed me in a weak voi*e: “I hav# long per

FOREIGN.
HOUSE OF LORDS, June 26.
Lord Dacre presented a petition from
her,Majesty to the aouse, and regretted
that it had not been presented to the
house by the highest legal anthority in
the country. Hp said he had had no
communication vith her majesty, nor
was he even acquainted with her. Jit
implored the houie not hastily to proceed
vith a secret enquiry, which would have
a bad effect with the opinions of the peo
ple, especially when their lordships knew
’hat secret enqury was so contrary
to their feelings. The Lord Chan
cellor said, he oyed a duty to every
individual in the country; but he found,
when looking into’heir lordships’journal,
it would be betterto have it presented by
any other noble lord. He did say he was
right, and if he hid erred, he had erred
from a sense ofdiiy, and nothing else
lie had no feeling against this illustrious
person ; God fbrlid he should. After
some discussion, tie petition was read by
the clerk at the taUc, and was to the fol
lowing effect i
**To the Lords, Spiritual and Temporal,
in Parliunent assembled.
“Carolina Hegira.— The Queen having
been informed that proceedings affecting
her dignity, honor and r, have
ieen insinuated agkinst her in the house,
feels it necessary, us the only constitution
al way which she iS-informed is left to her,
to approach the House of Lords, and to
petition as a fellow subject. Her Majesty
uv ready and anxious to meet every charge
affecting her honor, and challenges the
most complete enquiry into her conduct;
but she protests against any committee of
secret examination. Her Majesty is also
anxious that the enquiry should be spedi
ly entered into; but she cannot bring her
self to think that the House of Lords will
sanction so crying an injustice as that of
proceeding to that enquiry in the absence
of herself, lier counsel, and witness, the
latter of which cannot begot together in
some weeks: but the moment they arrive,
hpr majesWf will cause due notice to be
given to the House of Lords, that the in
quiry may proceed any way the house may
think 'fit. Intne mean time, before any
other step is taken, her majes.y prays to
be heard by ■ cr counsel at their lordships’
house this night”
Lord Dacre here observed, that he ban
not had the petition three minuses in Ins
hands—but just read it—when he con
ceived it his duty immediately to present
it.
Lord Dacre then moved, that her ma
jesty’s counsel should be called in, which
was agreed to nem dis. The Lord Chan
cellor —Call in her Majesty’s counsel.—la
a few minutes the deputy usher of the
black rod appeared, with Messrs Brough
am, Denman and Williams, who having
gone to the bar said, they had the honour
to attend their lordships on the part of
the Queen, and he would have been in*
dined to have asked a few hours to pre
pare himself for that important task: but
fie had the commands of his illustrious
client not to throw in the way any sem
blance of opposition to the enquiry. She
now does not ask delay in the vulgar sense
of the word; she wishes enquirj, which
she knows will end in a complete and
glorious proof of her innocence, because
• she was innocent and they were just. She
asked lor delay to prepare her proof: be
cause the contrary would be the rankest
injustice. She knew not what was in
that bag, or who the tools were that had
lent themselves to the collection of those
materials, which were the charges a
gainst her; but the knew that whatever
these charges were, they must relate to
her conduct while abroad; and as she re
sided the most of her time btyond the
Alps and the Appenines both, it would
be impossible in the course of five or six
weeks to write letters and receive answers
from that distance; but it wonld require a
much longer time to collect witnesses ne
cessary to enable him even to cross-exam
ine even one of those wret ——-(he beg
ged their lordships pardon) thase crea
tures—who had been spying into her con
duct, and whispering falsehoods, which
they never have dared to utter in the pre
sence of men of hont»r. The safeguard
of Englishwomen was. that slis had Eng
lish witnesses against her,, full of the know
ledge and sanctity of an oat h*. they w ere
examined in a land where' they were
known; a id she had c unpulsory process
to compel the attendance of such wit
noises; but the Queen had none of
these.—Her ministers abroad were not
likely to be very active in procuring V’it
nesses in her favour,—She had not many
of the ministers, and he did not think
they would serve hfermuch. What must
be her innocence, when she boldly told
them to go on, for she demanded justice;
> Jmt It was their lordships duty, that how
. ever innocent she was, they should not al
i low her cause ty be injured by any defects
; in her means of procuring evidence- JJe
would put it to any lawyer who heard
him, to say whether be or his learned
i friend could cross-examine a witness, if he
did not know the neighborhood ih which
lie lived. Put the case that one of the
, witnesses against her majesty was driven
i from her service for stealing 400, dollars;
and he could bring an English na\al offi
cer, now at Bonn—no Hanoverian baron
—and would they examine that witness
before they had sent for this; who would
drive the other out of court? —He under
stood, that if lime were given him to pro
cure all his witnesses, he should be able
io drive all the other charges out of court
in like manner. He therefore did notask
the delay of < he process, but only the coin
rnencement for five or six months; and as
their lordships were British judges, lie
expected they would grant it; for he
could not conceive, lha* cA-n at Milan,
any tribunal would delay, to enable ao ac
cused person to collect his witn* sacs.
They were about to enter iuto an inves l l- !
gat ion derogatory to the dignity of the
'crown, and injurious to the best, inten 1 J
of the country; he therefore conjure'. 1 i
their lordships to pause oefore th - •■■■• <
tered on an inquiry, w hich; if cunv ’ ■ i
as proposed, would end in a legal m.;i ir ' j
committed on the character o’' one ■ ,
the most illustrious persons in the ting
dom.
Mr. Denman followed in support of the
arguments already adduced by Mr. Broug
ham. Lord Liverpool than put off the
meeting of the secret committee until
Wednesday.
Tlesdit, June'27.
Before going into the discussion on the
motion of Lord Grey, for discharging llit
order altogether for the silting of the se
cret committee on the charges contained
against the Queen in the greeii bag, Lord
Grey, in order to save the time of the
house, asked of Lord Liverpool whether
ministers had abandoned the intention of
still proposing a scerel investigation, or
whether they meant to submit to the
house any proposition for some other,
and more constitutional mode of proceed
ing. The Earl of Liverpool replied, that,
from the best consideration which he had
been able to give' to the subject, the mode
of proceeding which had been originally
proposed to, and adopted by,' parliament,
was the fittest to be pursued ; and, there
fore, it was the intention to propose that
the committee should proceed with the
secret inquiry. Lord Grey then moved,
that the order for the sitting of the com
mittee should be discharged, which was
opposed by Lord Liverpool and the Lord
Chancellor; in the course of whose
speeches, it was easy to be collected that,
should the report of the • secret commit
tee be unfavorable to her majrsly, it is
the intention of the ministers to intro
duce into parliament a bill of pains and
penaltif s, most probably having for its ob
jects to divorce her majesty from ihe
King, of course, then to degrade her
from her style and title and privileges of
Queen of his realm ; and to exile her
♦rum England for ever. The motion of
Earl G:ey was supp rred by Lord Holland,
Lord Belbaven, and Lord Bnlkeiy, and op
posed by the Earl of Donouglmiore and
Lord I.anderdale. The motion was then
negatived by a majority of 102 to 47.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, Jane 26.
Lord Castlereagh, after . a Jimin
ary observations, moved - consider
ation of the subject rc.ia : the Queen
should be postponed t .1 Thursday si-’
night, when he should submit a motion,
founded on her Majesty’s answer to the
resolution of the House. H ■ also moved
that the further debate on his Majesty’s
message be adjourned to Friday week
The ground of the noble lord’s postp- „e- !
ment, is to give opportunity to the .ct,
in the interim, to determine upon the
mode of proceedings be ad opted in that
house, which might serve as a guide to
the Commons —Mr. Brougham received
with gratification, the offer of an open
enquiry—which he said, was the earnest
wish oi' the Queen. Mr. Western moved
as an amendment to the noble lord's mo
tion of postponement, that the question
should be postponed to “ that day 6
months,” the parliamentary phrase for
getting rid of a question altogether.—
Mr, Wilberforce, in the course of his
speech, said, that in voting for the post
ponementas submitted by Lord Castle r
eagh, he did not pledge himself to sup
port an enquiry into the papers, which
contained the charges. The debate con
tinued with spirit and energy till half past
eleven, when the house.divided, and Lord
Castlereagli’s proposition for putting off
to Friday _ su’night, the consideration of
the King’s Message, was carried in pre
sere nee to Mr. Western’s amendment by a
majority of 195 to 100.
London, June 25.
Letters from Cadiz of the 30th May,
mention a fact calculated to convey a ve
ry strong impression of the patriotic feel
ing that exists among the inhabitants of
that city. The merchants of Cadiz have
agreed to advance a loan of four millions
of reals for.lhe use of the Marine, and
threeonill ions for the Civil service, without
Intel est. They have also determined on
subscribing, ns fares their means will per
mit, to the loan of 40 millions of reals now
raising in Spain at an interest of 10 per
cent, on terms equally disinterested, be
cause they think that the receiving so ex
orbitant a rate of interest, is taking an un
fair advantage of the necessities of the
principle they are desirous by
their own example pointedly to discoun
tenance.

Beside the proud and insolent AH Pacha
of Janina, wlnrtakes upon himself theti
tie of king «1 Rpirns, the sublime Porte
has to contend against some other Pachas,
who are not less ambitious. 01 thianlim
her especially is the Pacha of Bagdad. If
four other unruly Pabhas of Bulgaria join
themselves to him, the Grand Seignor will
need to have armies in Asia and
to subdue these different rebels. We are
impatient to know which of them the Porte
will attack first.—lt is probable, it will be
the Pacha of Janina, who is the roost re
solute of all. He has received intelligence
that the Parle is aiming against him. In
consequence of this he exercises his troops
every day, and is making such preparations
for defence as the troops of the Grand
Si ignor will fmd it difficult to overcome..
Many statesmen doubt whether the Porte'
will succeed, especially if it is true, as
some maintain that all Greece is devot 'd to
this pretended Kb g of Epirus, who wishes
I to embrace the Gicct religion, and that
I all the inhabitants of that country will
| joyfully pass under his standard in order
i to get rid of the Turkish yoke, a change
j ;eti may cause them to fall from Cha

would wish to separate his cause so, eh
tirely from ali Mufiselmen. • It seems- that
this report wa .. ..a by the Sbulietis
and P-> v s who have taken refuge’
at ( ,-fa. The Pacha has marie them pro-'

extreme .perfidy of Ali is known,, no one
dares trust lus most flattering promises
They remember the adventure of |pe>i.
Rose, a French.nan, who being invited to
Jardps, to marry a daughter of Ali, was
beheaded just as he was preparing to
join the wedding feast. - '
It seems that Ati had promised the Par
guinotes to become a Christian, but they
do not give (lit least credit to Uiis new ar
tifice. Itisquitc certain that Ali Pacha
lias begun lus defensive operations by ar
resting the richest and most influential
people in the whole extent of his provin

to the I urks, and the citadel of Jamaica
situated in the lake of the same ntqne, is
filled with hostages of this sort, who
are assured by the Pacha in person,
that upon the first motion of (heir friends
and relations in fat or of the Pone, they
shall be sewed up in bags'and thrown into
the sea.
On the other hand, he has made an ap

service of the Pacha, and their nilmher is
already estimated at 20,000 men. They
commit a!) sorts of excesses—their course
extends across Thessaly and Macedonia,
to the confines of Romelia, All is. com
plete disorder in those provinces. Ali
Pacha promised, by means of his agent, an
exemption from all taxes to those among
his subjects who shall take.up arms. -He
.; a'so ..« U liberty and armed a crowd
vi iv' s. All the inhabitants of Ja.
nu- , yithout exception, from the Bish
op to the meanest laborer, are obliged to
work day and night upon a rampart and a
ditch which the Pacha is surrounding this
city. The women assist in those labors.
The principal force of Ali is assembled in
a camp at Cinqui Pazi, between Janina
and Pre vesa. He has established a tele
graph from Prevesuto Jenica,, so that he
'recives news from the coast in an hour and
an half. We may conclude from these
two circumstances that he foresees the
nsssibility that the Tuiis may transport
their anny by sea to attack Epirus upon
the coast, and arrive more promptly at
Janina
The found ation of the question seems to
be this. The Porte wishes to take possess
ion of the immense treasures of Ali Pacha,
which are said toamoqntto more than 200
millions. The Porte Would be glad at least
to share the&tothe prejudice of his sons
MouCtar, Veli, and Sul am, neither of which
is in a state to take the place of old Ali
ou the xieid of battle.
