POETICAL SELECTIONS. Fit OM THE P 0 It T FOLIO. The following verse? are quite sufficient to vin dicate Mr Moore’s pretensions to genius He is addressing a Very young lady, who is supposed to have expressed her regret that she was not profoundly skilled in science and literature : Never mind how the pedagogue proses, You want not antiquity’s stamp ; The Up that’s so scented with roses, Oh ! never must smell of the lamp. Old Cloe, whose withering kisses, Have long set the lover’s at defiance, Now done with the science of blisses, May fly to the blisses of science. Young Sapho, for want of employment. Alone o’er her Ovid may melt, Condemn’d but to read of enjoyment, Which wiser Corinna had felt. But for you to be buried in books, Ob, Fanny’ they’re pitiful sages, Who could not in one of your looks. He ail more than in millions of pages! Astronomy finds in your eve, letter lights than she studies above, And music must borrow your sigh, As the melody dearest to love, In ethit;—’tis you that can check, In a minute theirdoubts and their quarrels, Oh 1 she w hiu that mole on 3'our neck. And 'twiil soon put an end to their morals. Y< ir Arithmetic only can trip, When to kiss and to count vou endeavour, But eloquence glows on otir lip, When you swear that youdllovc me forever. Thus you see what a brilliant alliance Os arts is assembled in you, A course of more exquisite science, Man never need wish to go through. And oh ! if a fellow like me May confer a diploma of hearts, With my lip thus I seal your degree, My divine little mistress of arts, From u London Magazine. AN ACCOUNT OF CAYENNE. Jhj a gent In man mho merit there the be ginning of the year 1802. Cayenne has nearly 500 miles of sea coast ; the soil is in general of a very superior quality, hut is better adapted for the cultivation of cotton, cocoa, an natto and spice, than for sugar or coffee. The almost continual rains which fall there,prevent them from procuring fuel for the manufacture of sugar, or pre serving coffee. Negroes, formerly slaves, who were emancipated by the late system of gov ernment established in France, in 1796, exceeded 13.000, but owing to their late bad habits, are reduced to 11,000, although there were 1500 captured and carried in there since. Os the 11,000, about 5000 work ns laborers ; and the able women and men get 7d. the boys and girls sd, sterling per day ; blank days regularly stopped, anti no allow ance more of any kind is given to them ; if sick, no medical attendance or nour ishment whatever is afforded ; but they are treated in that indifferent manner which laborers are in Europe, but with out’the advantage of relief from charit able institutions. About 5000 negroes, who were formerly slaves, live in the vicinity of the town, and have given en couragement to 30 additional billiard tables, (there are 40 in all, in town and the suburbs.) These people plant cassa va near to the town, where there is a very extensive tract of unoccupied land, and are employed in this way, in taking cat and other bad soft fiSh in the mud near the town, about thrive hours daily. They make a dish which is the farina (cassava flour) of the fish men* tinned, and country pepper; thfs is called fiimentelle , and on this they make their repast daily, contriving on all oc casions to get taffia (low wines or rum only once distilled) with which they are daily intoxicated. The cloathing- on the 11,000 people before mentioned, at a fair valuation, is not worth so many pence. Intoxication, want of clothes, nourishment, medical attendance, &c. account for the decrease. The old well disposed negroes are disconsolate, and earnestly wish for the old system. Religion,none; there are two church es in town, the field artillery is in one, and the oxen for the army in the other; only one clergyman remained in the eollony. Produce, about 1150 bales cotton ; 800 hhds. rocon, or annatto; 100,000 lbs. cocoa ; 80,000 lb. doves. There is a great variety of beautiful and valuable wood for furniture ; there was a Swedish ship taking in a load of it for London, making a second voyage with it. JVVhite inhabitants not employed in the government oradministration, 1000, a great number of old, military men, ; ' mostly very respectable, many very old, but all chagrined and poor, in conse quence of their being deprived of their former resources. Government—Victor Hughes is not only supreme, but is without council, comptroller, ar any check whatever on s his conduct; he has augmented the im t posts tenfold , he is carrying on an ex e tensive mercantile business and with the authority lie possesses to relax or insist on the duties, he procures every thing that is desirable. His measures as for merly, are rude and arbitrary ; he will not allow a planter to kill his own cattle, but insists on their being sent to his butcher, who accounts to the planter as he pleases, and if he spares him five or six pounds of his ox it is a favor.— Hogsheads of fish, barrels of herrings, &c. are opened on the quay and inspect ed, before a planter can convey it to his plantation : this is a precaution the 10 per cent, import duty. Planters by this delay are often detained one and sometimes two tides. Duties on im ports and exports 10 per cent, even on lumber and provisions. fortifications—has been strong ; the old town is walled round and has a deep ditch ; nothing has been done to the works during the late war, and they are now in a ruinous state, most of the guns dismounted; they depended on the want ol water, there being only two and a half fathom within cannon shot of it. Garrison—consists of about 1200 men, of whom 800 Europeans, 400 blacks ; the black troops get salt fish and farina, sometimes herrings and corn roasted in the ear.—There is a chief of division, but Victor is at the head of every thing. Cloves are very much cultivated, and do not require more care than coffee, are very productive; a garden 200 yards by 150 produced 400 lbs. last year, and was the first time of their bearing; it was expected to make 600 lbs. this year. Ihe republic has a ve ry extensive clove walk, which will, it is expected, produce 50,000 lbs. this year. Birds—more different species here than in any place I ever was in ; a col lection of 420 was lately sent by Victor to Madame Bonaparte, and another of I the same kind remain ;they are beautiful. Quadrupeds—a great number of dif ' ferent species; small deer m abundance. A GALLANT PASSPORT. Lambert, an excellent musician, was very much pressed by a lady ofuncom mon beauty to teach her to sing. Lam bert for a long time resisted her impor tunities, till being very strongly and re peatedly urged, he declared that his ap prehensions of falling in love with the lady were the only cause of his denial. Counsellor L. who was present at the confession, drew up immediately, in the lady’s name, a free passport for Lam bert to the lady’s presence— ‘ We the divine and resistless Miss , grant pel mission to M. Lambert at all times to enter our mansion in perfect safety, and do prohibit our charms, graces and attractions to make any attack whatev-' er on the freedom of the aforesaid Lam i belt, &c.
