POET R Y.
Off the arrival at New-York of the Vict m
President of the United States.
WHEN Heaven refolvM Columbia fliould
be free,
Ano independence spake the great decree,
Lo Adams rose ! a giant in debate,
And turn’d that vote* which fix’d our
empire’s fate.
In Europe next, the minister behold,
Who treaties form’d, and melted hearts of
gold f;
Maintain’d the honor of our rising name,
And as a nation, gave us rank and fame!
When ally’ll armies triumph’d in the field,
And full plum’d viftory made Great-Britain
yield;
When Washington commanded <* wars to
cease,”
He crown’d our triumphs by a glorious peace.
For these, his country pours its honors down,
And ranks him next—her firft, her darling
son.
Long may he reign, in sentiment ally’d,
Columbia’s fafeguard, glory, boa ft, and pride*
# y ote of independence .

American Anecdote.
K MEMBER of Congress dining in Phi-
UIL ladelphia with a French gentleman, a
water melon was brought on the table, which
the roinpauy admired for its largeness. The
I 'ench gentleman said it was nothing to those
they railed in France; for he had seen water J
melons as large as a pipe of wine ; that they
coulri not enter through the door of the par
lour where they lat. The member of Con
greis said, he put him in mind of an Irish
man, who being on business in Scotland, said,
they had nothiuic crjuaf c o what was in Ire- I
land: His landlord,' when evening came,
and the moon was shining, a iked him what
he thought of their Scotch moon ? He re
plied, Nothing at all ; for if that moon was
in Ireland, ihe would be counted no bigger
than a star.
