NATURES FAREWELL. BV MRS. HEMANS. “The beautiful is vanish’d, and returns not.” Coleridge's Wallenstein. A youth rode forth from his childhood’s home, Thro’ the crowded paths of the world to roam, And the green leaves whisper'd as he pass’d, “Wherefore, thou dreamer! away so fast ? “Knevv’st thou with what thou art parting here, Long would’st thou linger in doubt and fear; Thy heart's free laughter, thy sunny hours , Thou hast left in our shades with the fcpnng s wild flowers. “Under the arch by our mingling made, Thou and thy brother have gaily play and; Ye may meet again where ye roved of yore, , But as ye hare met there-—oh ! never more ! On rode the youth—and the boughs among, Thus the wiid birds o'er his pathway 6ung “Wherefore so fast unto hie a a a} ? Thou art leaving forever thy joy in our lay ! “Thou may’st come to the Summer woods again, And thy heart have no echo to greet this strain; Afar from the foliage its love will dwell, A change must pass o'er thee —farewell! fare well!” On rode the youth, and the founts and streams Thus mingled a voice with his joyous dreams: “We have been thy playmates through many a day, Wherefore thus leave us ?—Oh ! yet delay ! “Listen but once to the so ind of mirth; For thee ’tis a melody passing from earth ! Never again wilt thou find in its flow The peace it could once in thy heart bestow. “Thou wilt visit the scenes of thy childhood's glee, With the breath of the world and thy spirit free, Passion and sorrow its depths will have strrr and And the singing of waters be vainly heard. “Thou wilt bear in our gladsome laugh no part; What should it do for a burning heart! Thou wilt bring to the banks of our freshets rill, Thirst which no fountain on earth may still! “Farewell!—when thou comest again to thine own, Thou wilt miss from our music its loveliest tone ! Mournfully true is the tale we tell— Y et on. fiery dreamer —Farewell, Farewell!” And something of gloom on his spirit weigh and, As he caught the last sounds of his native shade ; But he knew not, till many a bright spell broke; How deep were the oracles nature spoke ! Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. A sound of mirth was heard by night, Its merry peals rang high— And song, and dance, and sinful rite, Bade the wing'd moments fly— Glad Sodom, in her pomp and pride, Gave up her soul to glee; And proud Gomorrah by her side, Rang with the revelry. Thy streets Zeboin, too, were glad, Glad with unholy mil 111— And Admah's drunken sons were mad, And ruled upon the earth. The night pass'd on—the torch’s light, Flash’d far. from tower to wall, And gay forms gliding to the sight, Glanced bright from bower to hall! The morning came—and all was still, Save they, the warn’d from high, Who fast toward the distant hill, With hurried steps flew by. The sun arose, and fiercely swept, Along his red oing path, While Riot’s drunken sons still slept, Nor dream'd of coming wrath. There is a dark cloud rolling on, Swift as a rushing flood; Its heaving boson, dim and dun, Seems filled with flame and blood ! It closes o’er them—fierce and fast Red streams of sulphur pour 1 Lightning and smoke and fiery blast, Mix with the thunder's roar ! Jt And hark, a dark yell rend the sky ! Ten thousand shrieks aloud ! The cry of mortal agony ! Man struggling with his God! ’Tis done !—the cloud is roll'd away- But where, O where are ye ? Yon dim. black lake, alone can say, Y"c cities of the Sea ! Indiana. —The Indianapolis Gazette of, the 4ihinst. says: We have at length seen \ an official reiurn of the votes given for ! Representative to Congress, in the first j Congressional D strict. Ratliff Boon is elected by a majority of 77 votes. In the second district Mr Jennings is elected by a large majority over Mr. Thompson, the Jackson candidate In the third district it is stated, that Mr. Test is elected by a majority of something over 1500 votes over Gen. M’Carty the Jackson candidate. The same paper contradicts the reported death of Governor Ray, aud says: after Mr. Rty s return to this place, and a few days after the election, he experienced a severe attack of fever, and for a time his life was despaired of, both by bis triends and physicians, but for a week past be has been convalescent, aud there are now hopes of a speedy recovery. By the best accounts we have, Mr. Ray, is elected by a majority of from two to three thousand votes. The Secretary of the Navy yesterday visited the United States frig ite Hudson, now lying ill the stream, under sailing or ders. He was received with the accus tomed salute.

The packet ship John Jay, Capt. Hold ridge, has arrived from Liverpool, and we have our London papers to the i ill August inclusive. The Paris papers t lie Gazette- de France , in particular—of the sth August, Judd out the hope, on the authority ol re cent letteis from Vienna, that the war it self will be brought to a speedy termination, lv means of.an amicable arrangement. It is said that a report to this effect was gen erally current in that capital and erbunned so much credit as to occasion a considera ble rise in the funds. It is added that the courts of Vienna and London are conjoint ly using all their influence to induce the Emperor Nicholas t< listen to pacific over tuies from the Porte, and that lie has even signified his aseent, on condition that sev eral fortresses, particularly Silistrie, Giur gevo, and Varna, are placed in his hands as a security against a change of purpose on the part of the Porte. The Morning Herald of August 7, is incredulous as to this, and savs:—“ Though the part ascribed to England and Austria is probable enough, we have great doubts that the Russian mo narch has made the compliances ascribed to him; and, in confirmation of this opin ion, we have observed that not a hint of a pacific nature has appeared in any of the Russian Bulletins.” Portugal. —'Plie Courier of the 6th says; W'e have some further accounts from Lis bon and Oporto, but they are all of the same gloomy nature. I here is no relief in the picture —no bright point—every thing is dark and disgusting. It seems that we underrated greatly the amount of the victims—instead of five thousand, there are three times five. Our Lisbon letter informs us, that ano ther Minister has been appointed to replace the Spanish Ambassador Zea, who has been recalled YY r e trust there is some mistake in this, for the King of Spain was under stood to have expressed to Don Miguel his high and ispleasure at his conduct. Corvettes and coasting schooners arriv ed daily at Lisbon with prisoners from O porto. Oporto remains quiet, with ruined commerce and deserted streets. The inquisition is expected to be restor ed In practice, indeed, it has been re stored, and with ail its horrors. Intelligence had just been received, at the date of the latest accounts, from Madei ra and Terceira, which continued faithful to Don Pedro. Egina, dune 19- —(Private correspon dence ) — George M luromichali, son of the Prince of the Maiuotes, A. Nako and Geo. Geo Milaili, who were all three formerly at the Provisional Government, have been, to the general astonishment, arrested, as well as several Spezziots, by order of the President, and conveyed to Albnuitiks.— The people are lost in conjectures on this subject; and the more so, as (he individuals arrested belong to the party called English of the Isles , which, since the arrival of L ount Capo d’lstria, and especially since the Russian declaration of war, has never ceased to excite distrust against him, IRELAND. A paragraph from Sligo, August Ist, says:— “Mr O Connell left this at two o’clock to-day for Boyle. I have just had authentic intelligence of the organization of a plan in that town, for the purpose of as sassinating that gentleman. Particulars immediately. ’ We are informed by the latest Dublin pa pers that the Lord Lieutenant has ordered a return to be made forthwith of the number of Yeomen enrolled throughout Ireland in each corps, and ot the amount of the arms and ammunition in their possession. The latest accounts from Odessa, are any thing but pacific, as they announce the arrival of numerous trains of artillery as a daily occurrence. It is added that they are shipped as soon as they arrive for some point in the Black > w ea: and we scarcely need * J adtl that these immense preparations would not be continued if there were any prospect of peace. It appears by accounts from the kingdom of Poland, to the 22<i ult , that several corps of the Polish Army had pre sented addresses to the Grand Duke Con stantine, to he allowed to take part in the war against the Turks ; but that their re quest, though courteously received, had been refused. According to the last accounts from Buc harest, the plague had begun to subside in that city. The contagion has manifested itself in 21 villages of the district of Ilsow, Dumbowitza, VtJaske, and Fclior, many, most of them towards the frontiers of Aus tria. It has also appeared in the Russian camp at Pucteui. The Russian authorities have taken energetic measures. There is a report of an engagement be tween the Russians and Turks, between Shumlaand Varna, having turned out very unfavorably to the former. [AT. Y. Com . Adv. From tho New York American. The R ussians had concentrated their forces, and the next intelligence, says the London Courier of the 6 h, will bring ns the news of the attack up<*n Shoonda, the only defence of the Balk u mountains.— Another article we copy from th.- Courier speaks of negociations as probable, under the auspices of all the powers.

NeW-York, September If). LATEST FROM EUROPE. Last evening arrived the packet ship Canada, Capt. Graham, from Liverpool, by which we have received Liverpool pa pers to l6ih cf August inclusive, and Lon don papers to the 15th The Russian army has published its Thirteenth Bulletin. It is dated tlie 21st of Julv, ten days later than tie 1 intelligence brought by tiie arrival of YVeduesday last. The main body of the army was then on the heights bclore the important Turkish strong hold of Schumla. These heights were defended by a body ol eight or ten thousand men, who, after a vsgourous resis tance, were dislodged on the 20lh, by the Russians, and driven back to their entrench ments before Scliuiwla. Preparations were making for an attack upon that place, of which the next bulletin will probably bring us an account. In the mean time Vain, on the left wing of the Russian army is vi gorously pies>ed both by land and sea.—- Gen. Suciiteliu attacked and defeated a bo dy of Turks who swam over the Liman to get in the rear of the troops lying before that place. The Siege of Stillistria was to commence on the 2lst In Asia tlie Russian arms have been suc cessful. Gcu. Paskewith passed the Asi atick frontier on tiie 26th of June On the Ist of ‘uly an action took place before the strongly fortified town of Kars, between the Russian troops and a body of Turkish ca valry, who sallied from the place and were defi u’d with considerable loss. On the 15th of the same month Kars was taken.— Os the 11,000 men who composed its garri son, 2,000 were killed and 3,000 escaped to tiie mountains. The accounts of the conduct of the Porte in the mean time are somewhat contradic tory. Some represent the Turkish gov ernment as inactive, and the people indiffe rent to the event of the contest. Others speak of the Sultan as actively engaged in fortifying the environs of his capital Troops, it is said, are daily arriving from Asia and departing for Adrianople A part of the Turkish fleet has been sent to the Black Sea—the remainder is stationed to defend the Bosphorus.—The unmarried Greeks to the number of 22,000 have been ordered to leave Constantinople. The reason for this is that the Greeks at Vania were suspected of having arms concealed, for the purpose of rising against the Turks in case of an attack on the place. The evacution of the Morea by Ibrahim is decided upon. A conference took place between him and Admiral Ileyden and Count Capo dTstria on the 13th of duly, at which he agreed to retire from the country on the Ist of August, if sufficient means of conveyance were provided. The attention of the Turkish government is now so close ly fixed upon its northern frontier that it has no time to think of the recovery of its Grecian possessions. The allies will enter into negotiations for settling the limits of Greece as soon as their Ministers reach Corfu, to which they are now proceeding, aid that unhappy country, after its long and severe stiff -rings, will be permitted to en joy reposo. Great Britain . —lt was reported in all the club houses on the evening of the 13th of July, that the Lord High Admiral, (the Duke of Clarence, ) had resigned The Courier of tiie following day, says, the ru mor is said to be well founded, and adds: “It is generally rumored that His Royal Highness has resigned this morning. ’ The New Times of the latest date says, it is understood that he will resign, if he has not: for that his ostentatious and imperi ous conduct have placed him in a delicate situation with the King. It adds, that the Duke of W ellington receives his Majesty's full approbation. The Morning Herald of the 15th, contains an article stating that the resignation has ‘undoubtedly been tendered,” and adds, that the proceeding has been caused ‘by a serious misunder standing between his Royal Highness and the Ministry,or rather the Duke of Welling ton. ’ The rumor most commonly preva lent as to the object of dissension between the parties is, that respecting some accounts of travelling expenses incurred by the Duke of Clarence on his visit to the dif ferent sea-ports and dock-yards, sent to the Treasury for acquittance, which ac counts the Duke of Wellington refused to allow. Another report is, that the em ployment or distribution of the naval force was the subject in dispute. Whatever, however, may hive been the cause, or esuses, which have induced his Royal Highness to withdraw from office, it is be lieved that his retirement will be univer sally regretted by the naval - department, aver which his Royal Highness has had the control since the resignation of Lord Melville. It is likewise reported in the New j Times, that Mr. Peel intends to resign.— It is declared that this was premature; hut intimated that he had so indentified himself* with the Currency bi/ls, that it would not’ be strange if both should fall together.— 1 The editor speaks in a lofiy and oracu ar; tone; whether with or without reason we * cannot decide, V* e hope, however, a man like Mr. Peel, rendered doubly valuable bv the incompetency of his associates, will i not leave the British ministry at*This junc ture. The American Charge and Affairs, and Mr. Croker, transacted business on the 13th of Aug. at the Office of the Secretary of from Foreign Affairs. Ten th ousand Portuguese have sought refuge in Spain from the persecutions of the government. The Conde de Fegueira, who was sent Ambassador to Madrid from the Court of Don iguel, has not been acknowledged and has returned. The city of Combra is nearly abandoned by its inhabitants, and ■ u> houses are mostly shut up. Many oth er Portuguese towns are in the same situa tion. The expedition from Maderia and Azores is fitting out with great activity. The Commander ill Chief, has issued i notice that soldiers shall be permitted to assist in getting in the harvests. They are to bfc employed in the immediate vi cinity of the different places where then corps are stationed and oil no account o take with them any article ol arms or ac coutrements , Ireland is quiet, as is admitted by the government papers themselves. The insurance at Loyds, on ships from Oporto, was formerly 20s. per cent ; it has now advanced to five guineas per cent. Mr. Justice Park has decided that by the laws of England, no man, on anv pi e tencc whatever, has a righi to inflict per sonal chastisement on his wife. The Liverpool Chronicle, is of opin ion that, under the new Customs act, not a pound of cotton will be imported in Ameri can vessels, as a British ves>el may load in the ports of the United States, and by merely touching at a Colonial port, and entering her cargo for export, without any expense of unloading land her cargo in England under the low duty of fourpeuce per cwt. Respecting the English crops of grain, much apprehension ot a deficiency con tinued to be felt; and rum>r obtained of the probable opening of the ports. Spec ulation has already commenced in this market upon the strength of these appre hension S/*7/ hater From the Continent. —By the Charlemague, from Havro, we have Paris papers to the 10 h ultimo, inclusive. For that of the l6tb, we are indebted to Capt. Robinson. Galignam’s Messenger of the 15th, has the following paragraph: YVe give the following article from the Augsburg Gazette, although we are able to state that no such intelligence had reached Paris direct up to last night: ‘We have received from Hermanstadt, by ex press the important news of the c puure of Schunda. This fortress, which was t have arrested the progress ot ihr Russian army, was attacked from % th 21st to 22d ot July, and surrendered in 24 hours A:— though this intelligence is not official, i appears to be entitled to credit, as it conies from several quarters, and hud beeu der i ived from a good source.” | This, however, is premature, unless there be a mistake in the date of the bul letin which follows, and which we find in the same paper. The following bulletin of the Russian army, dated 23, reached us yesterday: “The troops of the 3d and the 7th corps, but particularly our left wing, have ad vanced into the presence of the enemy, and occupied the heights near Shumla.— The enemy fell back without resistance under the walls of the fortress, and left only a small detachment of cavalry beneath the cannon. In order that we may be able to push the siege with vigor, our position is to be provided with redoubts. Our troops supported the intense heat (45 with their usual perseverance, and the works are pushed with ardor The num ber of sick does not augment ; part of those who were ill have returned to the ranks. Gen. Suchtelen has given the command i of the corps posted befoie Varna, to Gen. Ousz ikoff, who has arrived from Mongal li, in order to advance, in pursuance of the orders he had received, with his corps, against Ko&lodischi. W hilst on the march thither he received intelligence that a considerable number of Turks had swam across the river Diffuo Lima during the nightof the 17th,to fall upon the rear of the troops before Varna. In order to prevent this attack Gen Sue,htelen detached a battallion of infantry and two squadrons of cannon. This detachment, under the command of Gen Akinfief, came up with the enemy drove them before him wi'h vigor, and the bank of the river which we occupy are delivered from the enemy, h results fiom intelligence received from Gen Roth, that the 6th corps, having crossed the Danube, is now at Rasevacia His advanced posts are as far as Appani. The seige of Silistria was to commence on the 21st.

Colucotroni is the son of a Klefies or mountain robber, who became so renowned tor the cunning and courage with whichbt committed his depredations upon the Turks that a latge band collected themselvesua! der his command, and lie became the ter ror of the Morea. He died as he lived; in war with the Turks ; and his name, pre served in the memory of the Kleftes, and handed down iu their wild songs, gave a reputation to his son; who from his youth followed ins father's profession The Turks succeeding pretty well ia clearing the Morea of these heebouters, Colocotroni was obliged to seek other occu pation ; and we find him serving in a regi ment of Albanian Greeks organized by the British iu the lonian Islands ; in which 111 held some subordinate office ; until the regi ment being disbanded he found himself out of employment The breaking out of the insurrection opened to him anew career; he hastened over to the Morea and his Damn and reputation at that moment, when lie had few competitors, gainpd him the high est influence among die wild soidierv. He is about fifty years ol age ; has a huge clum sy figure; to which is united bv a brawny bull neck, an immense shaggy head; with a face strongly, and coarsely marked, indi cating cunning, presumption, and dogged resolution ; which are id fact, the attributes of his character. Enjoying a high reputa tion for courage, he seemed to think any demonstration of it unnecessary ; and there is hardly an instance known of Iris exposing his persoD during the war. As profoundly ignorant of politics as of letters; beseemed disregardful of his reputation, and his ac tions have been uniformly directed by his iu!ing passion, avarice; and, as subservi ent to this, a desire of military supremacy in the Morea. The Maine election as far as the result 1 of it is known, shows that Jacksonistn is cu I the wane in that state.
