From a lair London paper. LORD BYRON*!'!} LADY BYRON. tNiavkstie. Come back—come back, ray runaway Spouse* And “bring thy babe with thee; Tho’ poets are ragged, as ev’ry one knows, I .have not a soul to mend nay clothes, 'Or make a dish of tea. The Muses and I are alone in the house, And the deyik a word have We; ’Tis cruel, I swear,’tis atrociously hard, That you should abandon a Nobleman bard, So pretty a poet as me. 1 flogged you once—but I won’t again; As mere is hope in heaven; If you returnrof your own accord. I’ll board and lodge you, upon niy word, And you shall be forgiven. Ah’ little thought I, when to BontI wrote That sneering, quizzing Ode, That I was fortelling my future fate, And bidding, like N ap, an adieu to myjmate, In 1 a desolate abode. I swam o’er the Hellespont, once, it is true, . And stem’d the salt-sea wave; But fresh are the waters, where.I must die; And a bucket.of tears from either eye Shall be Lord Bikon’s grave. Mv Harp it is hung on a cypress bough, And I shall hang by its side; By you shall swing in a rope of rhyme, That women henceforth may avoid tile crime Of hurting a Poet’s pride. I am going to raise a battalion of Greeks To catch you—perjured fair!!! You shall be Helen, and I Me nelacs, A fugitive mendicant, sucking his paws, And franticly tearing hisbair. The Nurse, that she Pan is, that stole you away, Heaven grant her to my wish; The hot stream of Xanthl's, around her shall blaze; And she shall be boiled all the rest of her days, And stewed in a kettle of fish. In haste to pursue her at Brussels I bought 'v A carriage, without means to pay, But 1 left the mechanic a volume of verse. And bade him'ripply to your ladyship’s purse* If ever you travel that way. "Was itnot-enough that you left me alone To sleep in the (lark all night, Whenever I awake that I find you are gone, And expecting an answer, an answer get none; And then shut my eyes in affright. But as if an Asp had infested your blood, And curdled its current so sweet, “You have taken your cash in a petulant mood, And I must sell verges, or else have no food; That’s fit for a Poet to eat. ■But Poets and'Spiders, thank God, have alike Their fortunes so happily cast, So spin out their brains and their bodies to snare 'Their victims, and build such good mansions in air, That they never lack a repast. CONTINUATION OF FOREIGN NEWS. =• ■ London, June 3. Since our "last, the Paris papers of Thursday have arriv- <ed; and this-morning we received those of Friday.— Another French general (Gruver) has been sentenced to be shot for the rebellion of March, 1815, and the ridicu lous farce -«f trying marshal Grouchy, who is absent, is .going on. Courier Extraordinary of Friday morning’. Several individuals have been carried before the tribu nals, accused of having stolen about a thousand weight of gunpowder from one of the government magazines, ana sold it to Ruggieri, the fireworker. The carriage which conyeyed it having been stopped at Montmartre, on the 28th ult. gave rise to a great number of supposi tions and commentaries. The quaintity of powder was greatly magnified, and tire whole was said to have been contrived by conspirators against the state. June 6. “We are concerned to state,” says the Bath paper of this morning, “that a disposition to tumult exhibited it self among the lower classes of Yeovil on Tuesday, but by the temperate conduct of the principal inhabitants, it was suppressed without any material damage being •done.” i Prince Antony, of Saxony, is expected to renounce his claim to the inheritance of that crown, in favor of prince Maximilian, who is about to marry an Austrian archduchess. June 12. In the house of lords, last night, the earl of Donough- more presented the petitions of the Irish Catholics, and earl Grey the petitioner of the Catholic subjects of Great Britain, among whom appear as petitioners for a share in the privileges of the British constitution, the most re spectable names of the duke of Norfolk, the earl of Shrewsbury, lord Clifford, and all the Catholic peers, who as justly remarked, are without a shadow of reason ex cluded from a seat in the house of peers, and all partici pation in the legislature of the country in which they have so great a stake. The discussion on the petitions is fixed for Friday, the 21st inst. Corn Exchange, June 12. There were but few buyers of wheat at market this morning, and trade heavy; few samples from Essex, Kent and Suffolk support Monday’s prices; Scotch wheat un saleable. Barley, beans, and all other articles, the same as on Monday. Paris, May 31. One Gardin, another chief of the insurrection, has been arrested at Arguebelle. The mareschal de camp, Gruy- er, has been condemned to death at Stratsburgh for the rebellion of March, 1815. , He was most severely wounded at Waterloo, and has implored the royal cle mency. A mail from Flanders arrived last night. An article from Switzerland states explicitly, that the French re gicides are not to be permitted to reside in that coun try. The anniversary of the 18th of June is to be celebrated on the field at Waterloo by a society of Belgians, and by a religious ceremony. Amsterdam is about to be lighted with gas. The duke of Wellington was expected at Paris from Cam bray, to be present at the duke of Berri’s nup tials. The princess of Wales has left Tunis to uroceed to Alexandria in Egypt. I- Parts, June 1. , The previ/tal court has pronounced thefollowing judg ment on the case of Philip B.mdion, aged twenty-two, a merchant’s clerk:—“ That it is proved that the said Bandion, being on the 4th April on the steps of the pa vilion of Flora, after the parade, and at the moment when the duke of Angouleme was entering his apart ments, used the most insulting discourse towards the royal family; but considering it as not proved that he spoke so loud as to give to his words the character of a seditious cry, which is punishable by transportation, the court condemns him to imprisonment for two years, a nd to the payment of a fine Of three hundred francs. BRUSSELS PAPERS. Brussels, May 28. The duke of Wellington arrived on the 22d of this month, at 6 o’clock in the afternoon, at Lewarde, near Douay, at Hie head quarters of the prince of Hesse, com mander of the Danish contingent; he departed again in the-night. On the 24th, the duke returned, to be present at the fete which the prince of Hesse gave in honor of his sovereign’s birth-day. A magnificent entertainment was given, at which a great number of general officers were present. The Danish troops were in grand parade, and reiterated salutes of artillery announced in their canton ments the solemnity of the day. The duke of Welling ton returned afterwards to his head-quarters at Cam- bray. From the Rhine, May 10. The report, that prince Eugene Beaubamois is to be made duke of Lauchtenberg, in Bavaria, shews at least thjJ the_ loudly pronounced aversion of the nation to serve as an indemnity for foreigners caused the idea to be given up of making him a German sovereign, /> M .'

Brunswick, May 6. Within this last fortnight, above fifty villages in this and the neighboring counties have suffered more or less by fire, and in most of them there is the greatest reason to spspect these fires are the effect of malice,. A grea. mafiy suspicious vagabonds have been already taken theqmrsuit of whom is rendered more difficult by the forests being in full foliage; but the circumstance th.., these fires happen just at the time when foeforests af ford a secure retreat, deserves the greatest attention. Vienna, May 22. According to letters from the Levant, M. Patin, Swedish charge de affairs, is not satisfied respecting the navigation of the Black Sea by Swedish vessels, though secured by the treaty of 1805. The divan, it is true, has given up two vessels which had been detained, at the same time, that the treatv, in consequence of non usage, was not binding, and that Sweden had no right to appeal to it. Frontiers of Austria, May 17. An ordinance of the emperor permits the exportation of specie from Austria. The course of exchange at Vi enna is not yet improved. It has fallen agam. 'i wo days ago it was quoted at 347Jon Augsbul-gh. ToKtov.a, May 20.

The intention of Aus tria is to make Platentia a fortress of the third class.— This our court opposes, amt insist on the danger which might arise to the states of Piedmont* if the neighboring duchies were covered with fortresses; for Austria also wishes to place Bardi-Campient and Monte-Chaitnpolo on a respectable footing, which would nearly render her mistress of the Appenines. We are assured that the question will be brought before the diet of Frankfort, to be decided under the mediation of the power, who signed the act of the congress of Vienna-. Loxron June 6. A private letter from Paris, contains the following: “It is said, that marshal Augereail, who had retired to his country seat, near P; vis, departed to that “undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller returns;” and by bis will he has bequeathed to his young, amiable, and handsome widow, all his immense property, to the entire exclusion of bis own family and relations. From the report of the physicians, it appears that Massena cannot long survive his brother marshal. He is now attacked with a violent spitting of blood, accompanied with such a difficulty of respiration, as threatens his speedy dis solution. Private letters from Paris say that Talleyrand has come there with some hopes of being restored to the min istry'. A new tariff is published at Stockholm for goods com ing from abroad. The duty to be paid in Hambro’ Baneo money. Jun4 10. From the Petersburg Gazette the French papers have copied the treaty betw een Russia and Prussia, relative to Poland. Most of the arrangements were known before. To Austria, Russia cedes certain districts in eastern Gal- licia. Cracow is declared free and independent—and the duchy of Warsaw is united to the Russian empire, those parts excepted which are ceded to Prussia. The emperor of Russia take the title of czar king of Poland. The following intelligence was received at Lloyd’s this morning. “Madrid, Jilay 29. “Sin—-T profit of a courier dispatched by our minister, C. R. Vaughan, esq. to inform you that three Spanish vessels have arrived at Carthagena from Oran, and the following is an extract of the report made bv the captain, as contained in a letter I have read, received from the former place. “On the 16th May', an English brig loaded at Oran was seized by the Moors, and the captain and crew, with the English vice-consul, sent prisoners to Algiers. On the 17th or 18th, two Gibraltar vessels arrived at or near Oran, and shared the same fate. The Spaniards informed the same thing was likely to happen to them, immedi ately left the place, to the number of eleven vessels, leav- ing all their property behind them; the three vessels ar rived at Carthagena are part of the eleven vessels escap ed as above said; and the captains also report, it was given out at Oran that the measures had been adopted in consequence cf orders received from Algiers. “From the above intelligence it is the general opinion in this city that the Algerines are cruising against our ressels, all which particulars l have immediately commu nicated to all my vice-consuls on the coast, and desired them not to dispatch any ship’s papers until further in formation is received, unless the captains insist thereon at their own risk; in which case, to give you advice of the particulars of the vessel, cargo, &c. The measure, al though without instructions relative to this unfore seen event, will, I flatter myself, be approved at Lloyd’s and also by ship owners. I am truly, your obedient hum ble servant. P.

Whether after suc cess, arid long service, he may be forrfom on the shelf, to make way for presumptuous and puffing ighorance, remains for time to determine; but this gallant soldier, unites with the finest accomplishments of the gentleman tnd the knowledge of a perfect militai-y education, the experience Of a practical staff 'officer in the most celebra ted military campaigns. To the South Anyericahs, such i man’s knowledge is a treasure not to be appreciated but be those who are acquainted witji all the afflictions and calamities which riovv- from commanders without expe rience, talents, or concern about the comfort or the lives of those by whom they gain battles and renown. It is thus that the French revolution, by contributing' experience and genius tb the new world, to accomplish its emancipation, compensates, in 90me measure, for the misfortunes of its disasters in the old world.—Aurora. BULLETIN OF NEWS. The gazettes of CarraccaS, inform of the glorious suc cess which the arms of the republic, under the command, of the renowned generals Zaraza and Cede no, have ob tained in the seige of La ffuerta and the province of Guy ana. Zer.iza closely threatens already the capital iff Vene zuela, with a strong army; after having cleared all the plains of Calaboza and Karin.,3. Cede no has entii-eh defeated and destroyed, a Spanish division of five hund red men, which Hie governor of Guyana dared to pre sent before die gallant and numerous army which there defends liberty.. But it is not Venezuela alone that is the theatre of fortune and glory—New Grenada also makes extraordinary efforts against the Spanish ty- governor of Guyana. The plains of Bogota in the pro vince of Cundinamarca ar#. the happy field allotted to our vengeance by Providence, by punishing the crimes of that arrpy which styled itself the peace-maker of America; that great army had been there annihilated, and its bloody and ferocious chid'only escaped to testily to the American valor; NewGreflada has enjoyed pe-.eeaf ter diis famous, exploit. All these advantages over the enemy are exclusively owing to the courage and virtues inspired by a cause so holy as that which we defend. Till now our soldiers have fought without arms; henceforward jheir victories will prove more decisive, their triumph more certain, and they will firmly hold the positions which they may gain. ■ , . . Their gallantry Will be upheld ar.d aided by the arms and other immense military stores brought? by the de livering expedition. Until" now the tyrants waged war only against flying parties which, acting independently, had no concentration, 1 energy, or combination; but in future they„wiU have to fight against a strong and nu merous army, under the Command of a single chief, as much known and beloved by his troops and people,- as he is feared and respected by his adversaries. No sooner did the delivering expedition appear in Guira and this city, than the whole coast was abandoned by the tnemy, who are flying in every direction, and are entirely dismayed. p His excellency major general James Marino announ ces from Rio Caribbe, to the most excellent Capluin gen eral the liberty of Jaguaraparo Guarapiche and other adjacent towns, the citizens of which eagerly press to enlist in the army, anxious to avenge the wrongs which their country has suffered. The newspapers from England and the United States of North America, announces a speedy rupture between the two maritime powers and Spain. The principal ob ject of it is, without doubt, that of protecting us in our struggle, and giving us every kind of support. Our situation ofcourse, will have an infinite advantage over that of our enemies. All their ports will be blockaded by two powerful squadrons, which are near at hand.— Thus deprived of resources from the exterior, and the interior occupied by our forces, the destruction of our enemy is inevitable.

From Stutgardt we hear that of Joseph Bonaparte’s diamonds brought to sale there, 1000 carets are still un disposed of and may be purchased either altogether or in separate lots; they arc stated to be of the finest quality. Liverpool, June 10. You cannot conceive the confusion this town is in at this moment, owing to its being 1 understood that Mr. Levland will in a few minutes appear on the hustings, and declare his willingness to become a candidate for the va cant seat. The opposition to Mr. Canning is greater than you can possibly conceive. On Saturday' he was severely hand led, and very narrowly escaped the brick bats that were thrown at.him. Some of his party were not so fortunate as himself. Three persons have been seriously hurt.— One young man, in particular, had his head most dread fully cut. A fresh attack has been made on Mr Glad stone’s hous p , and the windows of Mr. Bolton’s house have been entirely carried away by the throwing of stones, bricks, &c. at them. Mr. Canning’s majority is attribu ted to the want of the ejectors having a personal pro mise from Mr. Levland that he is hearty m their cause, and his coming forward this day (of which, I under stand, there is no doubt) is expected to make a very considerable change to-inorrow evening. The state of the poll at the close on Saturday you will have receiv ed. What it is now, I cannot exactly ascertain, further than that Mr. Canning is 179 a head. The election is expected’ to be prolonged to the last hour which the law allows. REPUBLIC OF COLUMBIA. The revolutionists of the southern section of our con tinent appear to have had as great a variety of fortunes, as their predecessors of North America. They appear to have suffered repeated disasters and to have carried on a Fabian war, against their disciplined invaders. The massacre by Morillo, the-Spanish general on the sea shore of Carthagena, and in the mountains of Greftada, has produced just such a state cf desperate resistance, as was calculated to arouse all the feelings and energy of the Columbians; the Spanish forces appear to have made their way into New Grenada, in the same manner and with the same menaces as ’Burgoyne marched to Sa ratoga, and Cornwallis to Yorktown. Morillo appears to have escaped, as Beresford escaped from Buenos Ay res, by stratagem and speed. i The officer whose name, Louis Dncoudray of Hols tein, is subscribed to the bulletin, which we publish this day, was in this.city about three years ago.

BULLETIN, No. 2. Of the delivering army of Venezuela. On the 3d it wus scarcely break of day when the squadron set sail for the port of Juan Griego on the nor thern coast of the island of Murgaretta; we had not reach ed the anchoring ground when a tender from the land came on board the commanding’ ship with despatches for his excellency the captain general. Soon after arrived his excellency the general in chief John Baptist de Arismendi to pay him his compliments as the supreme chief of Venezuela, having been already acknowledged in that high station by tiie army and the inhabitants of the island. This brave Goner..: and his officers were received by the squadron with ail that enthusiasm which their bril liant proof of courage, repeatedly displayed in tite he roic revolution of this island, justly inspire. The Spanish division, yet occupied the city of Ascen- cion, the metropo lis of the island, where it raised fortifi cations in the streets and heights of an almost impregna ble nature, holding besides possession of the castle San- ta-Rosa, but they evacuated them on the night of the 2d with such precipitancy as to leave behind their arms, ac coutrements and provisions, and retreated to .the port of Pamp-tar. Our intrepid warriors occupied on the 3d all their posts without firing a gun. The success that attends the opening of this deliver ing campaign gives us the strongest hope that the liberty, of the whole of Venezuela Is rapidly approaching, and our enemy encumbered with tbe weight of the crimes they have perpetrated in our territory, will soon be destroy ed. The aspect of the city of Ascencion shews nothing but a place evacuated by a band of barbarians. They have not left one stone upon another—the whole city has been consumed by fire, and we can safely predict that the des tructive system adopted by the Spaniards will move a war against them more terrible, even than that of our arms. On the 4th and 5th days, necessary measures were ta ken for our squadron to undertake the blockade of Pamptar, and with this object it sailed on the evening of the 6tli making its appearance before that port yester day morning. The enemy raises fortifications; but our operations will place him in the alternative of surrendering or pe rishing. (ieneral quarters of the city of JVorte in the island of Margarita, May 8, 1816. James Marino, mayor general. BULLETIN, No. 3. Of the delivering army of Venezuela. On the 25th ultimo the squadron set sail from the north point of Margarita, and on the 31st at 5 p. m. anchored in Carupano opposite the battery of Santa Rosa where the Spanish standard was fluttering. On the morning of the 1st the supreme chief of the republic who commands the delivering expedition inti mated to the Spanish commander to surrender the place, and in case of refusal he would take it by assault. A verbal answer in the negative was returned. The column of disembarkation under the orders of ge neral Marino, general Piar and colonel Soublette, begun its operations windwardly on the left, and after bearing for two hours an irregular fire of little effect, the suppos ed impregnable heights which command the city were occupied. The battery Santa Rosa and the Spanish flving artille ry kept up a constant action with the squadron. Gene ral Piar attacked the enemy in the rear with the greatest success, and we took both the place and forts without any loss. Our victory was complete^ and the Sight of the enemy shameful, in spite of all his advantages in positions, artil lery and cavalry.

Territory of Michigan, district of Detroit. 'Pc wit:— Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, nr) , of the justices assigned to. keep the peace, in and for ifc, district of Detroit aforesaid, Shadrach Penn, jun. who | Je . ing duly sworn, on the holy evangelists deposed) yj saith, that he sailed from Presque Isle, (or Erie, Ft the 6th inSt. on board tiie schooner Ranger; that on'nh voyage to Detroit the ^ Ranger passed Put-in-Bay, the evening of the 17th instant, about tv i-%, .a vessel was discovered k in the aforesaid bay, t t , at the late hour in .which it was seen, it was impossible !o determine ivhat vessel it was, or to whom it belonged Just as We were bearing aWay for the mouth of Detroit river, we heard the report of two muskets, which v tr - discharged by persons on a narrow point ot Lnd, v L.ch partly forms the mouth of the bay. We continutd o r course, until a second firing W as heard, which w„s ll0 . more than one hundred arid fifty or two hundred vavus distant, as tire flash and smoke was seen at the instant the report was heard; but it could not be direct!', ascer tained. whether the pieces were pointed at the ft„nger not. The supposition was indeed otherwise; fi.r ), j whole crew believed tire firing to be signals of dis.r• and we accordingly tacked and lay for the mouth of uJ bat' as soon as we possibly could. At the instant wt j u a tacked, we discovered a boat departing from the p,.;d on which the firing had been heard with considerablev.! pidity. This boat ran to the vessel that lay in the bar at which it did not remain more than a moment or tv.o’ before, we discovered it advancing towards us. IYVj the boat approached us the officer thereof, without <y least ceremony, boarded the Ranger, and demanded it very peremptory style “what we " were corning into th bay fur,” and “w hether or not we intended to anchor in. the bay that night.” He was informed that we should not have run towards the hay if it had not been from tiie firing we had heard from tbe point, and which believed to be signal of distress. This officer then demanded from whence we came; where we were bound, how many hands we had or board; what we were loaded with, &c and at the saint time, he, the said officer, appeared to view with considerable suspicion the persons of some of the crew; and was employed while putting these intern,, gatovies to the master of the Ranger; hi noting down the replies that were madfe to him. When the examination had been accomplished by the officer who boarded the Ranger, he was asked what vessel he commanded; to which" he replied “the Tec.umseh.” He was then asked where he was from, he answered “from Fort Erie.” He was further asked Who fired iroxn the point, he said “no body but some Indians.” T hen tbe latter question was put to him, the said officer, he immediately leaped info his boat and made for ilis vessel. When the deponent arrived at Amherstburgh, he enquired who commanded the Tecumseh, and was informed that it was a lieutenant Kent- The deponent (as well as the whole crew of the Ranger) conceived the conduct of lieutenant Kent,to amount to a complete search; and will ever view it an in sult to the American character and flag. The deponeut further saitit, that he believes the finni that was heard proceeded fYomthe crew of the boat:? the Tecumseh, which departedTron! the point inimeo ately after the last firing was heard; and that he behevts there were no Indians on the island, unless they had beta landed from onboard the Tecumseh, as there were no crafts to be discovered about the island, except th>- afire- said Tecumst h and her boat. S. Penn, jun. Sworn and subscubcu before me, the day and rear first above written Geo. M'Dugali, j. p. MRS. CARSON. Anxious to gratify pubiic cariosity, we have taken some pains to gather such incidents as would be intertstnig-, in relation to Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Carson, and Smith. It was stated yesterday that Mrs.jBaker, was committed, on a charge of being concerned in the conspiracy vrii Mrs. Carson, and her two accomplices at Harrisburg— What proof exists against her we do not learn. \\ e are informed that several aittmpts have been made to bribe Smith’s keepers. An additional guard is no*' kept at tbe prision. Mrs. Baker (who it will be recollected is the mother of Mrs. Carson) stated on Tuesday, that she supposed Mrs. Carson had gone to New York oivbusiness, and she shew, ed two letters, apparently from that city, advising her to go on. It is said that the object of the party at Harrisburg was to get hold of one of the governor’s tamiiy and keep him as a hostage for the safety of Smith. Where they intended to take him is not stated. Some time ago Mrs. Carson desired to see Smith, and he declared he did not wish to see her. She was not ad mitted. After the death-warrant was signed and attempt hd been made to bribe the keeper, the sheriff very prudent ly thought proper, we are told, to double his vilip-a* for tjse safety of the prisoner. Smith had, for the to'- yenieuce of exercise, been permitted to have his legs 'A liberty. It now became proper to iron him. One ofthe officers expressing some conct- n lest from his weakness he should not be able to sustain himself on the dav of ex ecution—Smith said “he was a soldier and ready to die; he only regretted it was delayed so long”—then bending himself, gave a spring to show his agilitv, and put out first one leg then the other, to receive the fetters, without any' mark of depression. The assistants of Mrs. Carson at Harrisburg are both said to be liberated convicts. The name of one is stated to be Elisha Bowen. Bowen has been twice in tbe stats prison. He is an old offender. Probably one reason tof his going to Harrisburg was to pay his compliments to his excellency for his recent pardon.—Philadelphia I rui American. THE WRIT OR ERROR.
