That. translators of the fame original, ought to have the fame thoughts, is uncontrovertablc ; —that they may in many passages make use of the fame words, is not only, not improbable, butalmoft unavoidable j But when they trauflate in poetry, that they (hould adopt the fame rymes throughout, is (at least) rhconflftent with the doctrine of chances. To convince the world that different translations of the -fame work may (land in the last mentioned predicament, or to conviCt the author of the Baloouade of pla?iarifm, I (hall insert the firft and third verses in the Daligree’s editio 1 of the above-mentioned hymn, and under of them, its corresponding verse, (as justly as my recollection will enable me) in that which I apprehend to be its origiual. * Begin the solemn, grand, celestial drain, 4 With humble fervency, lAy foul ! and sing • In grateful longs, of all the glorious works * Os Heaven’s Omnipotent—eternal King.* Begin the grand celefli?.l drain, My ravifh’d foul, and sing A solemn hymn of grateful praise To Heav’n’s Almighty Kiug. * Retail!, ye craggy rocks—ye eclming hills! 4 The folentn, sacred foutrd, Q long retain, * And from yoTirholtotf Winding caverus deep, 4 In rapturous notes return it oft again.’ Ye echoing hills, ye craggy rocks, The sacred found retain ; #Srrtd from your hollow winding caves,' &9turu it oft again.

Farther particulars of a mod violent Htirrican 9 which happened in the Bay of Honduras , on tie ad day of September lajl . At St. George’s Key the hurricane was, if poflible, more violent; the few houses that were ereded theie thouyh conftrufted with no small degree of tirength, were blown down, and the inhabitants, being mostly women and children, exposed to all the rage and violence of which those elements, the wind and sea, are so susceptible; they were compelled, in many places, to throw them selves flat on the ground, and to make use of every effort to preserve themselves from be ing vvaftyed into the fca, which at that time made a fair breach from one fide of the Key to the other.

In the Old and New Rivers, Northern Ri-a ver, and Rowley’s Bight, the houses wire all blown down; and what served to com plete the meafurc of their misfortune, the plantations were all levelled with the ground, and in a manner totally destroyed.
