THE MUSEUM, From the Baltimore Morning Chronicle. Mr. Editor—The following lines will be perus ed with peculiar interest by those of our readers, who admire the beautiful simplicity of Mont gomery’s address u To a Wild Flower.” To such it will perhaps, be gratifying to know, that they are the production of a lady, whose many amiable and splendid talents, will long bloom in the affections of her admiring friend- 1 , an unfad ing Forget-me-not. A FLOWER. There is a flower, a little flower, With azure crest and goldcp eye, Whose smiles illume the vernil hour, Whose tints reflect the sky— Tell me its name? The gayer beauties of the field, With rain-bow coloured glories bright, Their charm to every sun-beam yield, And on the admiring sight Obstrusive glare. But this small flower to friendship dear, Beneath the white-thorn’s humble shade; And the village haunts shall rear Its unassuming head Uncultur’d grow. To bless his steps, who cheerless treads, Unconsciously the w* ads among; While busy ntem'ry fondly lead* To pleasure vanish’d long, - And absent love. The feeling 1 heart shall seek the hower Its early bloom was svant to cheer; Shall find the consecrated flower, To recollection dear, Affection’s child. The distant orburied friend, The soul congenial link’d to thin*; Again shall at thy side attend In sweet communion join Thy pensive walks. The joy* that wing’d their rapid flight, “Ere tasted half their magic power, Again return —again delight Tlte retrospective hour, With softer sway. The wreath poetic fancy twines Inspired by love or lur’d by fame, With richer, gayer lustre shines And flowers of prouder name, Their odours give. But thou who cwn’st a kindred mind, Whose constant heart can feel the pow’r Os friendship, sacred and refin’d, Shall hail the cherish’d flower Forgct-me-njt. ERIN. SARATOG A SPRINGS, June 5. On Wednesday morning last, about 1 o’- clock, a stranger"was observed to be loiter ing; about Messrs. Sage & Stratton’s shoe shop in this Village, under circumstances which a wakened suspicion; he was of course closely watched, and directly observed to be breaking through one of the windows which appears not to have been fastened. When he was fairly in, the window was guarded and the alarm given —Finding it was unsafe to attempt an escape lie threw himself on the floor a*>d pretended sleep. On being brought before a magistrate, he said his name was John Frederick Snyder, a German by birth, and that he had lately deserted from on board his Britanic Majes ty’s ship, the Tremendous, laying at Que bec. That most of the Mine since, he had been “ on short allowance.” That on his way from Sandy Hill he was overtake-’ by the stage, and a gentleman in i> “ hailed” him and invited him “on board that ne took “ a birth in the bows with the steers - \ man” and came into Hie village, end was set down with “ a bare six pence.” with which lie soon contrived to make merry, arid 11 please your honor,” said lie “ Iliad a bit of a row.” When the subject of his breaking into the shop was advert* and to,he became very earnest, and, screwing a large quid of to bacco from his cheek, which he s*id into his pocket, and then clearing his mouth of the juice, he squared himself before the justice in true sailor style, and pi icing one hand to his hat, observed, “ well, 9ir, may it please your honor, I can just tell you all a bout that.—You know, sir, that a sailor can’t swing his hammock on shore, and he dont like to be on watch all night, so I was just bring on and off there, when I saw a port open and so turns in, and had just got in a snood nap when these lubbers here pi* ped me up, and that’s the truth on’l.” ’On being reminded that it was rather lubbe ly for a sailor to crawl into a port hole, he dry ly observed “ but. tnay it please your lion or, 3 ir, there was no gun in't When he understood that he could not be excused, he again squared himself before ihe justice, and raising hi hit a little from his head demanded a trial by “ court-marshal ,” ob serving that he was uot conscious of hav ing done a:v tiling out of the way, ami he hoped he should have the privilege of a fair trial. On being assured of that, he obser ved with great earnestness “and if your honor would just speak a good word to the admiral I think I might get off this time.” He was committed but a few hours after the grand jurors >f the JUniterm were dis charged. timt Jark will have to re maiir under hatches at’ least a twelve month. KEW VIEW OF FLORIDA. Letter to the JS’ational Intelligencer. Pensacola, 4th &lay, 1822. I have been in this place about four weeks ; and, after passing through the im mense and fertile regions of the west, and seeing the stately forests luxuriant fields of Ohio, Kentucky, and the other states be yond the Alleghany ; the sterile, piney, forests of Florida, Were not calculated to make a favorable impression. The Flori da*, as far as I can understand, may be considered as a great forest of pine, inter spersed with irreclaimable swamps, and intersected with rivers, whose banks are subject to inundation, and the low giounds, though rich, unfit for cultivation; and, as son as the low grounds are passed, the pines again present themselves. The good land is confined to the head-waters of the rivers, and is in small proportion. Such is the general physionomy of the country. I do not think any part of it adapted to to sugar, and none, i feel confident, to cof fee. The staple of those parts capable of tiliage must be cotton. I was not at all disappointed in Pensacola. I expected to see a village consisting of old ruinous wood en houses, upon a deep sandy plain, but lit tle elevated above the bay. The bay is spacious and pretty well land-lucked, but too extensive for a good harbour, in a coun try subject to harricanes. Ships cannot come nearer than within,half a mile of the shore, which is very shoai.and there are no wharves. Five entrance of the bay is wide, and to defend the town, (were it worth de fending) would require another fort at the Barancas, opposite that already built. The country in tlie rear, for 70 or 80 miles, is a barren wilderness of pines, not habitable in front of the Bty and Gulf ofMesi o.— So that Pensacola is completely insulated, deriving its substantial supplies of provife ions entirely from New Orleans. The rt- ver Escambia, empty ing into the bay, is an inconsiderable stream, subject to overflow, its only g.,nd lands being in Alabama, near its bead waters. Pensacola, in my opinion can never be a place of commercial impor tance. It has no back country, no great li vers to convey to the harbot the products of the interior. Unlike N. Orleans, the emporium of the great region of the wcsf.by means of the noblest rivers in the world ; or even Mobile, a very flourishing town, which commands the trade of the two im portant rivers Tombigbee and Alabama.— l do think that Pensacola can be any thing more than a retreat in summer for the in habitants ol the lormer cities. The climate here is ht. in summer, but the heat is mod erated by the daily sea breeze, and the nights are cool. The winters are damp, chilly,and extremely unpleasant,with lie quentand heavy rains, and much wind.-—- The atmosphere, at that season, very un favourable, to persons of catarrhal and pul monary habits, diseases of the lungs being very prevalent. From the absence of marshes, remittent fevers are not very common, those of a high grade sometimes occur. The p'ace has been visited by yel low fever. There is a very copious spring of water near the town, but it is warm, the temperature being, l think, twelve nr fifteen degrees above that of the pump wa ter in Georgetown. The soil here i rotn ptetely silious sands without clay. Veg etables can only be raised in the spring in constant irrigation, and then they but par tially succeed. In summer they are burnt up. The only fruits are peaches, grapes and figs. The two last arrive at high per ncction. Tiie sweet orange does not suc c°ed ; and, as that it considered ‘he crite i ion of sugar cane, I should think, even were the soil rich enough, sugar cane could not be raised here. The market is badly supplied and dear ; the beef, (the only meat they have) is sea cely eatable, fowls scarce and high, vegetables in small quan tity and also dear. Fish are in variety and abundance, but I do not think cf so good flavor as they me to the North The floor, bacon dj*c. obtained from O leans, are not of good quality, and very dear. Io short, living is bad & high, Jj” I would not advise any epicure to steer his enures io Pensacola. Mosquitoes are a great annoy ance, aid musquetoe curtains are indis pensible. Such, sir,is a faithful picture of Pensacola, and, if it affords, you any a inusemenf, I shall be gratified. The advan tages of the place, as you will perceive, have been greatly misunderstood and exag gerated. The inventor of Guvs, was Berthed Swartz, ol Collen in Germany, by profess ion a monk, who being addicted to the study of chemistry, and compounding a physical of nature, a spark of fire fell into it and made it fly upwards. Whereupon lie made a composition of powder, and including it ir. an instrument of brass, found it answer his intention, and bv thi* accident came the invention of guns, which grew into use about the year 1400, in a fight between the Genoese and the Vene tians at Clodia Fossa, in which the Vene tian* having got it seems the secret from the German Monk, made such slaughter among their enemies, that they stood a mazed to find so many of their soldiers kill ed and wounded, and neither knew by what means it came to pass, or how to pre vent it, Inpsius will have it the invention of demons, and not of men. Sir Walter Raleigh ascribes it to the Indians, and Valturius to the invention of Archimedes, who by that inpans utterly destroyed the whole fleet of ships commanded by Mar cellus at the siege of Syracuse.
