From the Char left on limes. [The following pathetic lines were handed us by a gentle man, who found them in the (beet.] By a lady on her leaving AAmerica, being rcjelled ly her parents. Adieu, Columbia , happy land ; Soon jhall I leave thy fhore: yldicu , ye friends my heart holds dear, Whom 1 jhall fee no mere: Adieu, my parents, fare yen well, My hleftings on ye reft , Tho' cur ft , and from you I be fpurn d. Be ye fupremely lift. My infant years no par nits knew,' No father's tender care , No mother's foft endearing love. Bid Anna ever ft:are. But when invited to your arms , With eager hafte 1 few, To Jh are the fond parental /mile, And be embrac'd by you. But new by yen exil'd, erft off. Spurn'd from ycur very doer ! Unfriended, and on ftrangers ca.ft, We part to meet no mere ! To ftrangers now I lift my voice, To you vehofe generous aid Didfave me f cm perdition's gulf , My warmeft thanks be paid. And in your left extreme ft need. When foul and body fever, For this one all, in ay all your fins Be blotted cut forever. An Ext em pore SER MON. Breached at the reqiiejl of two Scholars — By a Lover of Ale, Out of a Hollow Tree. Beloved, Let me crave your attention ; for I am a little man, come at Hiort warning, to a thin congre gation—in an unworthy pulpit. And now beloved my text is Malt ; which I cannot divide into fentenccs, becaufc it has none ; nor into words, it being but one ; nor into fyllables, be caufe it is but a monofyllable ; therefore I mull divide it into letters, MALT, M, my belo ved is moral; A is allegorical ; O * L is literal; and T theological. The moral is let forth to reach drunkards their duty ; wherefore my firftufe (hall be exhortation. M my mailer, A all of you, L leave off, T tippling. The al legorical is when one thing is ipoken of, and another thing is meant; now the thing Ipoken of is malt: M my mailers, A all of you, L lillen, 'l' to my text. But the thing meant is llrong bet i ; v.hich you ruffles make M meat, A apparel, L liberty, T treafure.—The literal is ac cording to the letters ; M much, A ale, L little, T third.—The theological is according to the effects it works—flrff, in this world ; fecondly, in the world to come. Irs effe<sls in this world are, in fome M murder, in others A adultery, in fome L loolcnefs of life, in others, T treafon. Its effefts in the world to come aie, M inifery, A anguiffi, L ErguHhirg, and T torment. —Now to conclude Say well and do well, Loth end with a letter, Say well is good, but do well is better. LATE FOREIGN NEvVS. LONDON, April i. A letter from Copenhagen, dated March i, contains the following high founding para graph “ Lord Nelfcn may come whenever he plcafes, we arc moll formidably prepared to receive him with red-hot balls, for which purpofc the furnaces are kept heated night and day. We Hat ter ourfclves that our prepara tions are fuch as cannot fail to repulfe a fleet of one hundred fail of the line, in cafe of any attempt made to force the paf fage of the Sound. The Swe difh gaily fleet is expeded here about the latter end of the month, and our whole fleet of defence is already Rationed in the road. The Emperor of Ruffia fends like-wife thirty fail of the line and twelve frigates to our affiff ancc.” Between one and two o’clock this morning, the Hamburgh mail due on Wedncfday came to hand. Its contents are of con ffdcrable importance. It was yefterday reported in the city, that advice nad been received of a total change hav ing taken place in the miniffry of Ruffia i and although the rumours could not be traced to any authentic fource, the credit which the public opinion feemed to attach to it, can fed the funds to experience a rife of near one per cent. Our letters from Plymouth ffate, the arrival at that port of a cartel from Morlaix, with in telligence that the French army, now on its march to co-operate with the Spaniards, in the inva fion of Portugal, amounts to 45,000 men. The Dey of Algiers, as we have already ffated, appears to be not only friendly to England, but alfo to have declared war againlt her enemy the French Republic. April g. The veffeb by which we re ceived the laff French journals, brought back the meffenger dif patched by M. Otto on Saturday night to Paris, with the refult of the Cabinet Council which fat on that day. The meffenger has returned with the anfwer of the Chief Conful, which yeffer day was reported to be favora ble, and the funds role upon the new^s; but it is obvious that no material ftep can be taken with a view to negociatc, till Buona parte has conlultcd his allies ; a proceeding which will occaffon a delay of fome weeks. STONNINGTON, (Con.) April 28. Ahufe of the Toft-Office If ablifo ment. Several weeks have elapfed ffnee we have received the Au rora, from Philadelphia, or the Mercantile Advertifer and Spec tator If cm New-York, confe qucntly enquiries have been made to the Editor of the Advertifer, in particular, whether they were regularly lent ? And we are afTii rccl by letter, that t( they are fent with the fame punctuality as to any of the fubferibers,” and we believe that the Aurora and Spectator are as regularly lent; why not then receive them ? It is evident from fimilar com plaints of many of our typogra phical brethren, that the papers are either deftroyed through party views, or detained for pe rufal by feme of the Poll Mailers on the fouthern route. In feve ral inflances papers have been received at this office without rappers, and much foiled both in fide and out, evidently occa fioned by perufal, with a direc tion on the paper ; others have come to hand four or five weeks after publication,frequently tore, cut and injured. Of late, how ever, we have not received thofe papers in any fituafion. As none but poll- mailers, ortheir clerks, (who are fworn equally the lame as a poll- maker) have a right to open and dole a mail, we have reafons diffidently flrong, to lliggrft that papers, and fre quently letters, are embezzled by feme of them, notwithstand ing their dolemn cath, and a bond which they forfeit by fucli conduCt, and an additional pe nalty of 50 dollars. The public being thus deprived of informa tion by fuch infamous fellows, we hope ere long, that meafures will be taken by our prefent ad mmittration, to revive the de clining (late of the poll-office eflablifhment, by a removal or punifiiment of villains who thus abufe their trufl to anfwcr party views, or procure information at the expence of other people by detaining their papers. It is well known what the political principles of mod of the pod malfers are, and it is with deep regret, that we have cccafion to a Cert that fuch unwarrantable crimes are committed by the advocates of “ order and good government.” The good citizens who live adjacent to certain poll offices on the fouthern route from New r - London, would do well in keep ing an eye over the pod-matters; examining the newfpapers in their pofleflioii, and they will undoubtedly make dome difeo veries, by which the authors of fuch villainy may be brought to condign punidnnent. New-Jersey. TRENTON, ApUiS. On Thu/fday laid w as brought to this place, the famous Mam moth Ox, bred by John Hum phries of Hopewell, in this county. This extraordinary ani mal far furpafles in fizc any of the fame fpecics ever raided in America, or perhaps in the j world. He is now feven years : ill * md and was pure haled dor the dum of three hundred dollars. His meafurernent is as follows : his height i 3 hands, i inch and 1 J-4ths ; length 18 feet 2 inches | and a half; circumference near j the fore Ihoulders 14 feet; and - from his wethers to the bottom or the dow lap, he meafures five feet and Even inches. NEW- YORK, y.-y 16. IM PORTANT. [From the weft rrfpeftable fcurcc.] Advices from London, under date of the nth of April, re . ccived by the Atalanta, from Briftol, date, that couriers were continually palling between Lor. don and Paris ; and that t was probable a minifter would be appointed on the part of Eng, i land to treat for peace ; although i it is thought much will depend on the event of the expedition again ft Egypt. The Danes have taken poflcfllon of Ham. burgh and the Pruffians of Han over. The feet under Sir Hvdo i Parkerhadnotcntered the Sound when they were laft heard from. Riots on account of the fcarcitv of provifions had taken place in feveral manufacturing towns in but had been quelled by the military. NORFOLK, May 14, COMMUNICATION. Vaccine Dif cafe.

We only mean to guard thefe who have received the matter from this place, againft tilifting to the difeafe produced by it as a fecurity to prevent the Small Fox. CHARLESTON, May 18. Capt. Hoyt, arrived here yes terday from Ph ladelphia, on his pafiage fpeke a brig from Leg horn bound to Baltimore, the captain of which informed him, that the Algerine cruifers cap tured every American vcliel they fell in with. SAVANNAH, May 20. 1 Extra ft cf a letter fran an cjftcer at Fort- JVilkinJcfi , to his friend in this city , dated May 8 th % 1801. <c We have alarming news from the Seminolcs towns: — Bowles’s revived intereft and in fluence at this juncture, will cer tainly lhake the authority of the United States. From the bek information received as late as this day, Mr. Bowles has receiv ed a cat go of valuable goods from feme one of the Jamaica ports —the traders are Hocking to him, and I fear will become his advocates, as he di/pofes ct goods at an extremely low rate, letters from col.
