O, father, ns latekrthe coursers of day
I leseendedP lie road in the west;’ ,
All faint I paused on.m'y way,
To refreshment and rest.
Looking down where the blue rolling ocean extends,
Where once lay the region of night;
Lo, full my view a large continent bends,
Never seen by the beams of my light.
From thence, mighty rivers and lakes I survey’d,
The trees on their margin that grow;
And mountains, projecting such grandeur of shade,
The) frown on Olympus below.
My course was so rapid, 1 caught but a glance,
For had I restrain’d my career,
My steeds would have check’d sister Dian’s advance,
That season to mortals so dear.
Then wing-footed 1 lermes the throne thus addressed:
(), father, now listen to me,
This Eagle 1 found while exploring the west,
And now 1 present him to tiiee.
Jove said, while the bird on his sceptre had sprung,
How stalely, how noble his air!
Now fain would 1 see if an Eagle so young
In triumph niy thunder can bear.
The Pird seiz’d the holt and resplendent he flew,
While the gods all beheld in amaze,
How calmly he sail’d through the regions of blue
And bore in his talons the blaze.
Mark, Neptune, cries .love, how he flashes along!
k Now over thine empire he flies;
’ HFrom ocean is dash’d a refulgence so strong,
The lustre ascends to the skies.
*
This bird, exclaims Jove, bears my thunder so w ell,
’ I'is a present I cannot decline;
Henceforth let all know , on Olympus who dwell,
That the bird of the west shall be mine.
Then blue-ev’d Minerva accosted the throne,
Thy justice shall mortals arraign!
Thy sway is now seen in thy thunders alone,
Andntan will, indignant, complain:
Let justice and mercy thine attributes prove,
And thus be their union express’d,
Let the oliv e of Pallas and thunders of Jove
Be borne by the bird of the west.
YV it brim-flowing nectar, these words tliev approve,
And this was the toast hey express'd,
Hie olive of Pallas and thunder of Jove,
And here’s to the bird of the west. A.

Bonaparte.—'Hie London papers of tlie w eek nave
anncounced, that accounts have been received by gov
ermnent, by the last arrivals from St. Helena, of a cor
respondence ha\ ing been detected by sjr 11. Lowe, the
object of which was the liberation of Bonaparte, and
his escape to Kurope. Little beyond the fact, lias
been sutrered to transpire; except that the correspon
dence has been carried on with certain persons in dome,
Paris and Munich; that is, we suppose, with Lucien Bo
naparte, Lavalette, and some of Ins pricipal adherents
and admirers in Paris. Whether a plot has, m reality,
existed, or whether it has been only inferred from suspi
cions circumstances, it is not possible for ns to judge
before further particulars are made known; but there
.is, certainly, in such a plot, nothing so improbable as to
arrant us in am degree, to doubt the statement. The
knlitary party in Prance, who, under the pretence of
rtv, wish for their old leader to conduct them again
and to plunder, comprehends many who, im

A London paper gives an extract of a letter from
St. Helena, Sept. Os!, mentioning that a correspondence
hail been intercepted, which discovered a plot tor the
liberation of Uonaparte. A banking-house in London,
and two mdividuas in England, with others on the con
tinent, were reported to be concerned. It .s said to
have been ascertained w here Napoleon had concealed
the whole of his treasure, hinted to aniout to a million
sterling.
The Isabella and the Alexander discovery ships had

man ROSE, about five feet four or five inches high, mild
appearance, of easy disposition and apparently forty
years of age. As she carried away with her a good
supply of clothes, it is impossible to describe her dress.
She is well known in Savannah, having lived there in
the family of the late Levi Sheftall, esq. and owned lat
terly by Mr. L!*, \\ alien. As her connections reside
in that city, it is believed she w ill endeavor to reach it.
Twenty dollars will be given on securing her in the

PROPOSALS,
For publishing by subscription,
A NEW AND GREATLY IMPROVED
GEOIIG 1.1 JUSTICE.
TT is designed to make this work nofonly a guide for
i Justices of the peace, but a kind of Citiz, u's Manuel.
\\ ith that view, the duties of Clerks, Sheriffs, Coroners,
Tax-collectors and Constables, Executors, Administra
tors and Guardians, as w ell as those of Justices, will be
explained—to which will be added many useful forms,
with directions for taking interrogatories, for conveying
real and personal property, and such other information
as may enable every citizen, of ordinary capacity, to
transact most of his law-business without the assistance
of an attorney. •
A gentleman of respectable legal attainments is now
engaged in the compilation, in which he will be aided bv
a professional character of deservedly high standing.—
To have the work as perfect as possible, it will be sub
mitted for revision and correction, before it is printed, to
the Judges of the several Superior courts, and others
learned in the laws of the state.
Such a production has been long wanted—and as the
publishers will spare no pants nor expense to make ic
useful, they rely with confidence on being liberally en
couraged inch’s expensive and laborious undertaking.
It will be printed on good paper, with anew type—will
be well bound, and form a large octavo volume. The
price to subscribers will not exceed five dollars each. ,
Any person obtaining twenty signatures, and becoming
responsible therefor, shall be entitled to a copy gratis.
Subscription papers are ready, and will be furnished,
on application, to those who will be active in circulat
ing them. The work will be put to press as soon a
compiled, provided a thousand subscribers shall havi
been obtained. A list of the names of those who pat>
ronize it* will be added.
In the above enterprize, we solicit the aid of every
public spirited individual.
