" OnhUmith't Travell»"
Eternal blessings crown my earliest
J friend,
‘ And round his dwelling guardian saints
f attend:
’ Blest be that spot, where cheerful guests
retire
To pause from toil* and trim their evening
1 fire;
' Blest that abode, where want and pain re
pair,
’ And every stranger finds a ready chair;
Blest he those feasts with simple plenty
crown’d.
Where all the ruddy family around
Laugh at the jests or pranks that never
fail,
1 Or sigh with pity at some mournful tale;
Or press the bashful stranger to his food,
; And learn the luxury of doing good.
But me, net destin’d such delights to
shire.
My prime of life in wandering spent and
care;
Impell’d with steps unceasing to pursue
Some fleeting good, that mocks me with
the view;
. That, like the circle hounding earth and
skies,
Allures from far, ye», as I follow, flies;
My fortune leads to traverse realms alone,
And find no spot of all the world my own.
As some lone miser, visiting his store,
Bends at his treasure, counts, recounts it
o’er;
Hoard*, after hoards his rising raptures
fill,
Yet still he sighs, for hoards are wanting
still:
Thus to my breast alternate passions rise,
Pleas’d with each good that Heaven to
man supplies:
Yet oft a sigh prevails, and sorrows fall.
To seethe hoard of humanbliss so small;
And oft I wish, amidst the scene; to find
Some spot to real bappin ss consign’d,
Where my worn soul, each wandering
hope at rest;
May gather bliss to see my fellows blest.
But whereto find that happiest spot be
low,*
Who can direct, when all pretend to
know?
The shudd’ring tenant of the frigid zone .
Boldly proclaims that happieat spot his
own;
Extols the treasures of his stormy seas,
And his long nights of revelry and ease;
The naked negio, panting at the line.
Boasts of his golden sands and palmy
wine.
Basks in the glare, or stems 'he tepid
wave.
And thanks his gods for all the good they
gave.
Such is the patriot’s boast, where’er we
roam,
His first, best country, ever is at home.
And yet, perhaps, if countries, we com
pare.
And estimate the blessings which they
share,
Though patriots flatter, still shall wisdom
find
An equal portion dealt to all mankind:
As difleient good, by art or nature given,
To different nations makes their blessings
even
Vain, very vain, my weary seaicfa to
find
That bliss which only centres in the
mind;
Why have I stray’d from pleasure and re
£..«e,
a,good each government bestows? <
In evfty government though terrors reign, \
Though tyrant kings, or tyrant laws re- h
strain,
How small, of all that human hearts en- c
dure, I
That part which laws or kings can cause: j
or cure! t
Still to ourselves in every place consign'd,
Our own felicity we make or find:
With secret course, which no loud storms (

BATTLE SONG
or a onEciaif soidisb’s i>bt;
GO forth !—like the sun in his might;
Go forth !—like the dawning of day ;
May the plume on thy helm be the Star 01
the fight,
And thy brand be the flash of the Iray !
I love thee—yet ne’er be it said.
That love did thy spirit restrain ;
I had rather behold thee a hero and dead,
Chan a coward in life to remain.
Then “forward and fear not!” the battle
cry be;
With glory return, or return not to me!
I could joy o’er thy corse, though my tears
Should wash the red wounds death had
made ;
For each crimson gash like a ruby appears,
On the front if it be but displayed !
But O ! my soul never could bear
The thought that thou fled’st from the
foe i
One sear on ihe back would awaken des
pair.
And give to my heart its death blow ;
Then “ forward and fear not!” thy battle
cry be ;
With glory return, and in welcome to me !

The Russian American Comj.auy —A
German paper states Mai this company,
the privileges of which have been recent
ly confirmed by the Emperor Alexander,
is in a most flourishing state. It was es
tablished by the Emperor Paul in 1797,
and has extensive factories in Lkntck, Yak
utsk, Oehotsk and Moscow, besides agen
cies in Kasan, Tomsk,, and Kamtschatka.
The company has also formed establish
ments on the north west coast of America,
on the Uaranow Islands, at Kuiljakui.. and
in the new Russian colony of Koss, in
Romanz- ff’s Bay. Before the existence
of the Company, there were only some
private trading houses on the Aleutian
and Kurille Islands, amounting altogether
to 44. In the course of 54 years, from
1743 to 1797, these houses exported pel
try to the amount of only 6,344,000 ru
bles. On the contrary, the company from
its establishment to 1797 to 1818, only 21
years, exported from the .same Islands,
peltry to the amount of more than 15,000,-
000, k have paid the station of Kiacnta on
the .Chiuese frontier alone. The Company
was founded by shares, 8000 of which were
subscribed at 500 rubles. An excellent,
port, called New Archangel, has lately
been formed by the Company, on the
north west coast of America, and more than
10,000 savages of the Polar regions have
been converted to christiinity. The com
pany has allotted 57,000 robles to the
building of an hospital on the island of
Sitka.

There sailed in the vessel several other
passengers, amongst whom was one of
the representatives from Mexico in the
Cortes cf Oid Spain, just reluming home
after an absence of several years.
We have been informed by a gentle
man direct from Vera Crnz; that after the
day of Mr. Reilly’s letter, Gen. Wilkin

From the Richmond Enquirer, .May 21..
West-Indla Trade.
We have no room to-day for the pro
ceedings in the House of Commons on
the Ist of April on Mr. Robinson’s mo
tion- We hasten to lay a short sketch
• before our readers. There is a wi»e and
liberal policy pervading his Speech,which
in some degree partakes of the genius of
the age. He shows that it is high time
for England to depart from the principle.
of the Navigation Act, which confines 1
j the trade of the colonies to the mother
country—when it was abandoned by other
nations in all parts of the world, and when
England herself had abandoned it as re
gards her East India possessions. He
shows that there were no other means to
relieve the distress under which her West
India Islands labour, than “the removal
of barriers and the breaking of fetters,”
and the opening of additional markets for
their products; no other means for ena
bling them to withstand a competition
with Caraccas and Brazil, which were
now “open to .the trad# of the whole
world.”
Some difficulties, however, stand in
the way. The West India Planters and
Merchants are not mote anxious to open
the door, than the British Ship-Owners
are to close it. The Chairman of the
Ship-Owner’s Society has accordingly ad
dressed a letter to the Secretary «f the
Lords of the Committee of .Privy Coun
cil for Trade and plantations, in opposi.
tion to the measure Mr Robinson
makes allusion, however, to their inter
ests ; but he touches on the difficulties
which were presented by those of the Co
lunists of North America. He confesses
ffiat he was not fully prepared with all the
details of his project j but the general de
scription of it may be seen by the follow
ing extract:
'ffie resolution which he intended to
submit, would have the effect of simpli
fying- the law, by repealing the different,
and, in some respects, contradictory Acts
which were now in force, and would con.
sulidate the whole into two laws, one of
which would refer to the intercourse be
tween our colonies and the continent and
islands of America, and the other to re
gulate the same intercourse with the Con
tinentof Europe —filter, JUar! J—He
thought that an importation might be al
lowed of a great variety of articles to cer
tain ports, either in British ships or in
the snips of lliost countries from whence
the articles would come. Among the ar
tides allowed to be imported, he would
reckon every thing necessary either to
the support of the colonists, to the ctil
tivatton of the soil, or to their general
convenience; in short, all those articles
winch were permitted under the present
regulations, He would permit either
British or foreign ships (foreign ships to
be described in the manner that they
now were,) to export the produce of the
island, and legally to import other pro
duce there. That arrangement he in
tended tp apply to the continent of Eu
rope, and to the intercourse with the con
ment of North America. Respecting
that intercourse, be would re
lommend that foreign
.laced on the same fooling ■.BnU*«l»
ihips; because it was obvious, ,h » t t ° *
empt to place ‘hat mlercwm*- «W £
iifierent footing, would be tended wjn
the inevitable consequence of our own
ships being subjected to the same r“^'C- 1
tions by foreign powers. I wouUbj *
be proper to refer to a subjeipt °| K |
importance, and which now n ‘'“ e t ,
wilted itself, he 'meant our o*n North- t
American colonies, The c.rcumstances a
which had of late years taken **" L
our West Indian colonies, had led to I
great intercourse between them and ou >
colonies in North America I hat inter- t
course had been fostered by the flrstem
which had been pursued by the United
S'ateS. For not only had the carrying on r.
„r any trade in British vessels been pro- n
hibited between —i—ies and the U- ] n
nited States, but the United States nuu - -
so prohibited American ships from doing
that which we allowed ic^n
was aware that the practice us Amencaii
ships did not i gree with lhu .- c gu aU<o, L
kuthe was now speaking of the • *°
that the policy of this country in prohibit
ing the trade in Hrilish vessels, and the
object of the American Government,
have been the same, and the couscqneu
ces of both had naturally been the rumol
the intercourse between the two coun
tries, and, consequently, a more exiend
ed trade between our W..lndian colonics 1 ]
and our colonies in N. America. It was ot i
importance, therefore, that in the regu
lations which they might now enter into,
'he claims of our North-American colo- •
nies should not be disregarded. It was
obvious that the renewal of the former in- I
tercourse between our West-Indian colo-1
nies and the United States, would have a
tendency to diminish the trade which had
fur some time existed between the form- I
er colonies and our colonies in North Arne- I
rica, and he thought it but just, that con I
sidering the attachment which our North
American Colonies had always exhibited I
towards this country, considering the sup- J
port which we had received from them, 1
that they were governed by the same laws,
influenced by the same feelings, and
exhibiting the same general charac
teristics as the inhabitants ot this country;
—it was but just, he repeated, that they
should rece'ive the utmost protection
which this country could afford. That
protection, he thought, could only be gi
ven by imposing a moderate duly upon
the importations of such articles from o
ther countries as came into Competition
with the produce of our Norlh-Americarr
Colonies—('//cor. Ifear.'J— Os course it
was not necessary for him to enter with a
precise detail of the particular duties
which he thought to be imposed, but it
was obvious as the intention of his pre
sent motion was to extend the intercourse
between our West India Colonies and ’he
other parts of die world, that it would be
inconsistent with such a purpose if the
protecting duty was to be so high as to
i thiow a monopoly into the hands ol our
North American colonies. Whatever,
therefore, the duty might be, care would
be taken that it should not be such, as it
would be*unjust in the colonists to claim,
and unwise in the parliament to allow.
On Mr. Wilberfoi ce’s expressing a fear
lest the opening of the West India ports
might facilitate the introduction of slaves
into the islands, and thus exasperate the
evils of the Slave Trade, —Mr. Robinson
sncriresjf d another part of his scheme; viz.
to confine nuriii’tircuui »v «• ttiitiiculiii*
ports which would be specified; allow
ing to the King in Council permission to
extend their number.
As we understand Mr. Robinson, there
fore, our ships are to be put on the same
fooling with British ships ; but such arli-,
cleg as,We raise,' that may come into com
petition with those of Canada and No
va Scotia are to be subjected to a moder
ate duty. (The difficulty is the rate )
Shoii’d the measure ultimately pass in this
shape, the question will then come up'
for our own consideration, whether we
in our turn shall adopt a discriminating
: duty, either inj favor of our own vessels
coming from the British West Indies, or in
favor of the sugars and rums of those is
lands, in which our own products are not
subjected to any disadvan ageous discri
mination.
Mr. R’s resolutions were received,
“ amidst universal cheering”-- and the bills
were ordered to be brought in. .
