T.iuse rhetorical flourishes and po-

oi Mr. Canning’s school, which lias
yubstitilted such balderdash lor the

until this day, diplomacy, however
host ile, was invaribly cloathed. When,
besides the utter success of their

deprived of Mr. Pitt, Fox, Nelson,
Cornwallis and Thurlow, fate seem
ed to have declared against them,
and also ever since, distraction, ig-
norace and malversation have pos
sessed a cabinet heretofore filled with
talents, integrity, and public spirit.
One of the last struggles of the last
of these administrations was to dis
patch yqu to this country, with in
structions, which, it cannot be tpies-

to. The result is what must have
been desired, though perhaps was
scarcely expected by the king your
master, and his late ministers. Anti

YYur predecessor, Air. Merry, an
atrabilious and inch droit old man,
to whom it was said Mr. Jefferson
had been ungracious (at least Mis
tress Merry said so) was received
in Philadelphia with a hospitality,
ini', nded to compensate for the rude
ness he complained of at Wash
ington. Mr. Liston was a great fa
vorite, and Mr. Erskinc was always
\v loomed with a kindness much
n>.or than merely polite. You are
the first British minister from whom
the hospitalities of Philadelphia hav
bei n withheld, and you are personally
the best entitled to them. You must
therefore ascribe the comparative
isolation from society in yhich vou
are suffered to live in this metropo
lis, notwithstanding the elegance of
your retinue and manners, to that
feeling of unanimous indignation a-
gainst your employers which the dis
closure ol your correspondence has
roused. Though you came fortified
with letters of introduction and all
the attractions calculated to make
your company desirable, yet vou can
not but applaud this repulsive nati
onality, however disagreeable you
may find its 1 ff ets. We know how
to separate Mr. Jackson from his
instructions-Hut his representa
tive lias cast so deep a shade ovei

'V distiu. tion, are reluctant to dis-

THK FAMISHED MOT 11 lilt.
Loud, loud blows tiie wind on the
moor,
And dull is my path through the
snow ;
An out-cast, unfrended and poor,
O’er the taee of the wide world I
go.
Hush, hush my sweet babe ! for thy
cry
Is more than my anguish can
bear ;
O God ! will thy merciful eye
Not look on my frantic despair r

knocked,
Forplcmv was written tlierton ;
But the rich man my poverty

And, tauntingly, bade me begone.
Cold, cold is tin bosom, O clay !
But colder the hard heart ol pride;
No tear tor tue w retched have they,
Who sail on prosperity’s tide.
The passenger witness’d my grief,
And he toid nie he pitied my sigh;
But 1 spurn’d at Ins proffer’d rebel,
For lewd was the glance of his
eye.
My steps by a banquet-house pass’d,
Where guests entered joyous ond
free ;
I shrank at the wintry blast,
But there was no entrance for me.
Thro’the night and the storm, and
the cold,
Must I and my little one roam ;
But ’ere many moments are told,
Shall we both reach a last quiet
home.
Cease, baby, thy screaming so wild.
There !—creep to this half frozen
breast:
And now will the mother and child,
Lie down in the deep snow to rest

Sweet the sympathetic sigh,

AU premiums shall be adjudgcdLhort survey of the great events
at one of the general meetings of the which have recently taken place in
society, by a board of five members]^, north of Europe. Though mow
appointed by the President and.remote, and of less immediate inter*
standing committee, from among : cst , than the transactions in Germa-
such disinterested persons as may| nv , Spain and Holland, they never*'
thclcss bear the same revolution, ry
stamp and character, which distin
guish, throughout every part ol he
continent, the commencement of .he
nineteenth century. Bonaparte, in- ‘
deed, the scourge ot so many nati
ons, has not been the instrument of
the deposition of Gustavus the I Vth,
which appears to have been effect, d
dtogether bv internal and national
causes. We may compassionate the
individual fate of that unfortunate,
prince ; but we must impartially con
fess the urgency and force of that po
litical necessity which produced hi».
fall. It was not, indeed, so much
ambition of his uncle, the duke of
Sudermania, as the series of errors'
tnd calamities that marked Gusta-
vus’s government, which have pla
ced Charles the XII Ith on the throne
of his nephew. History does not re-,
cord any revolution which has been
effected with so little violence, oppo
sition, or resistance. The nation
weary of the mal-administration of
its sovereign, seems unanimously to
have withdrawn their allegiance to'
his person, and to have called his
uncle to assume the first place in the
state. Gustavus, universally aban
doned, is already forgotten. So com-'
pletcly, indeed, is he destitute of
supporters, friends, or adherents;
that it is probable, in him, the asser
tion of the prisons and graves of
Kings being always contiguous, will
not be verified orrtalized. His ink
significance secures him from further
persecution, and will induce the
s.a es of Sweden to a'low him to re
side as an individual without the li
mits of the Swedish dominions.
If, however, Cnarles the XUIth
has found it so easy to ascend the.
throne, he seems to have experien*
ced, and he is likely to meet the
most serious obstacles in maintaining
tin Prerogatives of the crown, and
still more in extricating the country
trom that abyss of misfortune, into
vhich the imprudent pertinacity of
his predecessor has plunged it. E-
ven the succession to the sovereign
ty itself, is up to die present time un
ascertained and uncertain. The new
king, declining in years and desti
tute of issue, may say of the states as
Macbeth safd to the witches—
“ Upon my head they placed a fruit
less crown, .4 A
“ And put a barren sceptre in my
gripe.”
In order to remedy this extraor
dinary evil a Prince of Holstein Au-
gustenboujff, collaterally related to
the reigning Swedish’ House, has
been solemnly invited to accept the
crown, on the demise of his present
majesty. Chr.stian Augustus, on
whom this choice has fallen, is only
a soldier of fortune, in the sen Jce
of Denmark ; his elder brother Fre-*
derick, the reigning Duke, having
married a sister of Frederick the
Vlth, & a niece of George the 11 Id.

Extract of a le tter from Liverpool.
“ " e have only time to advise you,
that it has this day been settled bv his
Majesty’s Privy Council, that neu
tral ships, with cargoes taken on board
in the United States, may after land
ing, and reloading t leir cargoes, al-
30 ter their national t haracters, at an in
termediate port, being friendly, anti
proceed to ports in Great Britain or
peace shall be re-established betwuih
the crowns of Denmark and Sweden.
That peace cannot, indeed, be m
all probability, either very remote,
or impeded by any serious difficul
ties ; but a far more arduous and!
painful task for the new Swedish'
king, is to obtain from Russia such
terms as may leave to him and to
his people, any shadow of security or
of independence. Sweden in 1809,
presents, indeed, only the emaciated
remains of departed power & great
ness. Scarcely a century ago, in
in 1T09, before the battle of Pulto-
