DEATH cw LAWRENCE.
[wiMTTF.V 11 V AN EVfiLISHMAN.]
His midnight \witc!i the seaman keeps,
Where, wrapt in death, the hero sleeps;
Where, in his country's colors bleeds
Brave Lawrence, tinned for other deeds.
And, as he treads, in painful thought,
The spot where late he bravely fought,
The tears of sorrow dim his eyes,
Ail to the sainted shade'he sighs.
No farther laurels canst thou wreathe,
JS more thy native air wilt breathe;
A foreign land must be thy grave;
But foreign tears shall weep the brave.
If on the deck thy form extends,
Thy soul, imconqucred, high ascends:
Thy country claims no more from thee,
If conquered—yet thy spirit’s free. •
The cold grave soon shall hold the form
That oft has braved the raging storm;
And fame shall tell to future times,
And fame shall hear to distant chines,
The bloody conflict on the sea,
The tale that tells of death and thee.
The minute guns are heard afar,
But bear not now the sound of war—
The minute stroke the sailor rows,
And pity's tear-drop nobly flows.
And now the mournful sailor weeps,
Where still in peace the hero sleeps!
And slowly moves upon the wave
The barge that hears him to the grave.
Now o’er lustier his colors laid,
Above is placed his trusty blade.
No more is heard the victors’ cheer,
The brave respect the hallowed bier;
No warlike passions fill their breasts,
Hush’d in repose the warrior rests.
AN EPIGRAM.
The Tmw, they say, great nature’s chain
That caunes ever must produce effects;
Tn me behold revers’d, great nature’s laws,
All my effects lost by a single cause.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The following extracts, made from the Edinburgh Re
view, shew in what light the opposition in England
view our country:
It s i npossible to close this interesting volume, with
out casting our eyes upon the marvelous empire of
winch Mr. Birkbcck paints the growth in colours far
more striking than any heretofore useu in portraying it.
VVnere is tins prodigious increase of numbers, tins \ast
extension of dominion, to end? What bounds has na
ture set to the progress of this mighty na ion? Let our
jealousy burn as it may; let our intolerance of America
be as unreasonably violent as we please; still it is plant,
line she is a power in spite of us, rapidly rising to su
premacy ; or, at least, that each year so miglnily aug
ments her strength, as to overtake, b\ a most sensible
dis. iucc, even the most formidable of her competitors.
In foreign commerce, she comes nearer to England than
an. other maritime power; and already her mercantile
na vis within a few thousand tons of our own! It'she
goes on as rapidly for two or three years, she must over
take and outstrip 11s. * Men's inindsare naturally turned
tow anl the chances of her being retarded; and the first
and most obvious has been, the prospect of her dividing
int< several states.,
The war has proved this expectation to he in a great
measure chimerical. Those who indulged it held, that
how well soever ad's pied to the purposes of internal
government, the federal constitution must fall to pieces
before a foreign enemy; that war must be the cud of the
union. A war with England, the power must likely to
divide the states —the only power having a natural in
terest and party among the American people—w as, hap
pily for the union, begun on principles so extravagant,
and conducted with such w ant of moderation, as to
strengthen the party opposed to the English govern
ment, and to knit in one indissoluble body the whole
states of America.
What chance, then, is there of time effecting, by its
silent pace, that which the ruder shock of foreign con
flict has failed to accomplish? The question of the dis
solution is intimately connected will the causes of the
peaceable union of this great empire.
Ve perceive a nation vapidly progressing (as they
themselves term it in language borrow ed from our ow n
lul'cal poet) towards universal dominion over the new
rll. Its present population of ten millions will in
i .her generation be increased to twenty, and the new
•* > inanity now forming to the w estward, to a million
Dfr two more The question is natural, can such a vast
mass of people, spread over so large a territory, be kept
together by a feeble government? And the enemies of
the I nited States have seldom any hesitation in boldly
concluding, that their fate Neither to become the slaves
of a military despotism, or the prey of interned disunion.
No one seems to think the subsistence of the federal
union a possible event.
It might be proper, however, to consider the real
ground of stability which the government of Vmcriea
possesses, before we decide in so. positive a manner
s> ,v ( nst it. There can be little doubt, that the whole
question turns upon the difference of Am- rican and
F. iropeon society, and the total want, in the former, of
that race of political characters which abounds in the
latter. In America, all men have abundant occupation
of their own, without thinking of the stale. Every per
son is deeply interested, and perpetually engaged, in
driving his trade, and cultivating h s land: and little time
is left to any one for thinking of state affairs, except as a
subject of conversation. Asa business** they engage
the attention of no one except the rulers of the country;
and even they keep the concerns of the public subordi
nate to their own. The governor of a state is generally
a large land*owncr and farmer of Ins own ground.—
A foreign minister is the active member ht
and laborious profession, quitting it for a few TWonths,
and returning to its'gains and its tods w ben his mission
is ended. The business of the senatcrbccupies but a
few weeks in the rear; and no devotes himself so
much to duties, as to what class
ofthe iiK-hiWjuiis c-omnumjrfr he properly belongs.—
fcy race of statesrmm, so well known among us

springs up. even the foundations of a change

From the growing importance of our state, and llie
rapid progress of improvement through ass purls of it, i
belief is entertained that an attempt to add om to i >:
vehicles of periodical intelligence already t • : > .
will meet that libera! patronage and support usually ex
tended to undertakings combining public utility v-uii
individual enterpvi ie and exertion. In .-;ul>r.\:‘su:g to :oi

publishes must and will be judged of accoramg to r <
own merit, and that its support will correspond w.vh le
estimation entertained of tiie abihiy, can.dor and cor

to advance the agricultural, commercial ayul mechanical
interests of the community—essays, original or select
ed, tending to improve the morals, correct tiie trs ,or
inform the judgment, ofthe reader—and such poliimal
articles as may be necessary to a free examination of
public measures, and which, exempt from party asperi
tv, appear only to have the public good in view. In
short, its contents will be such as shall be deemed best
calculated to render the Advertiser a paper of useful
information and of rational entertainment—and the pub

For publishing by subscription,
A NEW AND GREATLY IMPROVED
GEORGIA JUSTICE.
I T is designed to make this work not only a guide for
JL Justices ofthe peace, but a kind of Citizen's Manuel.
With that view, the ditties of Clerks, Sheriff's, Coroners,
Tax-collectors and Constables, Executors, Administra
tors and Guardians, as well as those of Justices, will be
explained—to which will be added many useful forms,
with directions for taking interrogatories, lor 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 m the compilation, in which he will be aide 1 by
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 ofthe several Superior courts, and others
learned in the laws ofthe state.
Such a production has been long wanted—and as the
* publishers will spare no pains nor expense to make it
. useful, they rely with confidence on being liberally en
i couraged in this expensive and laborious undertaking.
I It w ill be printed on good paper, with anew type—will
jbe well bound, and form a large octavo volume. The
price to subscribers will not exceed live 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 as
compiled, provided a thousand subscribers shall have
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
