POETRY. BY THE “BOSTON BARD.'* Victor, what avails the wreath That erst entwin'd thy brow ? Alas ! those flowers no longer breathe, For death hath laid them low! And what avails the storied om That blazons forth thy fame ? That sculptur’d vase to dust shall turn— Oblivion blot thy name. What, too, avails those scars so deep, Receiv’d in battle fray ? 44 They’re raoori or valour !”—Time shall sweep Thy valour’s proofs away ! And what avails the minstrel’s song That sounds thy praises forth ? This minstrel's head shall rest ere long Upon the lap of earth. AvjAiice, what avails thy dreams Os happiness in gold ? Thy funeral torch already gleams— Thy days on earth are told : What now avails thy hoarded wealtli ? Is it with thee inurn’d ? No—“ Naked from the earth you came, And naked have returned.” Beauty, what avails the rose That decks thy dimpled cheek ? Age on thy head shall strew his snows, And death his vengeance wreak: And what avails thy form so fair, Or eyes so dazzling bright ? That form shall waste in sullen care— Those suns shall set in night. But, blest Religion ! much avails Thy hope of bliss in heaven ; For though thy barque, by adverse gales, On death’s dark shore be driven, Still canst thou smile ! tby steady eye Can pierce the cheerless gloom, And view, through dark futurity, The DAY SPRING OF THE TOMB. Late Omissions. THE QUEEN OF BRITAIN. Though we do not admire the Queen of Eng land much —dt gust thus non disputandum —we are willing that any body else Khali. So our read er* may e’en take the following.—.Vaf. Intel. Reply of the Queen to an address of the Highland Society of London. “ It is with unfeigned complacency I accept this artless tribute of glowing affec'ion and gene rous loyalty, from an assembly of the metropolis, who are natives of that romantick region where the spirits of departed warrionrs still speak in the winds, swim upen the clouds, or gleam upon the hills. lam well aware that they come from that land which is renowned for faithfulness to its chiefs, and that their fathers bled fora sovereign who had no other claim to their support but that which grief gives to the faded cheek and sunken eye. They are natives of that land where ad versity attracts more regard than the smiles of fortune ; where the houseless have a home, and the friendless never want a friend. 1 was sure that griefs li|ce those which I have suffered, and persecutions like those which 1 have undergone, could not be objects of indifference to those who were born and reared in that district where the brave are sensitive, and the sensitive are brave.— Their minds could not contemplate with apathy a fond mother, roaming like an exile in a distant land, while her only child was in vain imploring her presence with that look of solicitude, and • that gaze of importunity, thut marks the parting hour. The dark cloud of death soon covered her snowy breast! Deep and general was the lament when her heart beat no more ! Grief sat on every brow, and the face of the country appeared as if the desolating blast had traversed the land. Her remains needed no obsequies. Her tomb was the tomb cf virtue. Affection sepulchred her memory in every heart. “ The year* that are passed, are to be no more, arc but a* things that have only an i,;eai existence in the memory ; bat still they may cause the eye tost a ah i tear*, or the bosom to heave with regr-t. .he loveliness Jhat has sunk into the grave is still lovely in the mind ; and in that form in which virtue has made its shrine, death is not lasting oblivion, but increased end lasting remin iscence. It is truth, it is integrity, it is benevo lence ; it is *be amiable, thi generous, the sin cere ; or in one word, it is a goodness pure and holy, that converts the mortal into the immortal, the dying into the ever living, the shadow into (he substance, the fugitive into the fixed, time into eternity !” While one of the young ladies of the deputation presented a bouquet to her majesty,and the whole deputation was passing, the banners waved, and the b-epipes played the inspiring air of “ Scots who iiae wi’ Wallace hied.” Caxten Printing Office burnt. Liver root,, Feb. 9. The following facts relating to the t.'axton Printing office may be relied on. With other articles destroyed, were twelve, printing pres ses, ten copperplate ditto, four hundred original drawings, about seven hundred reams of paper, ten ’honsand pages of stereotype plates, fifteen thousand pounds weight of types, two patent hydranli.-k presses, and above three million* of folio, quarto and octavo ntimhers. No >‘oubt is entertained by those who have ex amin'd its cause, that this property was all des troy! j ;n conseqi ence of the entrance of a rocket into one of the windows. Mr. Fi*her, the pro prietor, has been twenty-two years in this con cern, and several of his men, who had the care of the rooms, have been twenty. Few establish ments in the kingdom so many old ser vants as the Caxton. In addition to the men -deprived of employment in Liverpool, several hundred others, employed in different parts of the kvgdom, have been necessarily discharged, inconsequence of this calamitous event.

BONAPARTE. Extract of a letter from St. Helena , dated Dec. 17, 1820. “ Bonaparte’s new house is finished, but not yet furnished. It is one story high, and is situ ted about 200 yards from the old building, and forms three sides of an oblong square. The right wingcontains the apartments of General Montho lon,'the surgeon, and the two priests: the centre and part of the left are allotted to Bonaparte and the orderly officer. Those for Bonaparth consist of a library, drawing-room, dining-room, break fast-parlour, bed-chamber, bath, and dressing rooin, with a water-closet; Montholon has lour rooms. The whole are neatly fitted up in such a style as you see in the country-house of an En glish gentleman of £2OOO a year. The court yard contains a tank of water. The kitchen is a separate building, erected at the end of the square, and contains every requisite accommoda tion. Bonaparte rode out some time ago to Sir William Doveton’s, in Sandy Bay, to breaktast, taking with him a Sumpter mule, laded with pro visions, and ate his meal on the grass near Sir William’s house. This was nearly the first time he had been on horseback for four years, and he was so fatigued that he was obliged to send lor the carriage to convey him back to Longwood. He appears very unhappy. The governour will have no communication with Bertrand, and Bo naparte will not receive any, except through him. Madame Bertrand and family purpose leav ing this in April next; but general Bertrand re mains. The education of her young children is assigned as her motive for this step.” Naples.*- The intelligence, through Paris, from Naples, states, that on the latter end of Jaunary, levies had been ordered by the Prince Kegent of Naples, of 10,000 men, from the classes of 1819 and 1820. His Royal Highness has ordered 6,000 muskets to be sent into the Abruzzi. He was about to visit those provinces. Thirty-six thousand men have been raised in the Abruzzi, in militia regiments ; 24,003 of whom have been completely clothed and drilled. There are let ters from Vienna, confirmed by others from vari ous parts of Italy that mention a most unexpected degree of firmness on the part of the aged Ferdi nand of Naples. It is asserted, that he has refus ed his consent to the various modifications of the constitution proposed by the holy despots, and has expressed his desire to return to Naples as soon as possible. Rumour says that a treaty ex ists between Russia and Austria, by which in case of success, the former is to possess Sicily, and the latter Naple. In consequence of the priests of the Neapolitan states having, in certain instances, opposed themselves to the advance of knowledge and the progress of liberty, and having in several diocesses shown some disinclination to admit per sons bearing the name of Carbonari to the peni tential sacrament, the minister of Justice has is sued a circular, enjoining all curates, vicars, and ecclesiasticks, not to mingle their ministry in af fairs which are purely temporal—to limit them selves to the benevolent exercise of their sacred functions, and not to attack political doctrines, which, if violently opposed, might produce all the evils of anarchy and violence. Ireland. —“ What is at this instant the actual situation of the Irish peasant?—He rents, per haps, one, two, or rarely three acres from some absentee landlord, to whose agent he pays from 40r to 31 an acre, with a proportionate sum in presents for forbearance. He pays the Catholick pastor the dues of his own religion. He pays the Protestant pastor the tithes of the Establish ment. He pays a stipulated period of duty work to his landlord ; and, after deducting the value of his labour and his stock, he feeds, or rather starves, a numerous family on the profits. Nor is this all. The clergyman, to secure himself, lets his tithes at a valuation to a proctor, and the proctor grinds the occupier for hi equivalent. The absentee landlord lets to a middle man, who lets again to the resident labourer, and thus the ! peasant, who occupies and tills the soil, has to j bear the extortion of a four fold profit to the cler-! gyrnan and the proctor and the landlord and the I middle man, not to mention his fees .to the Cath olick priest, and his hush money to the Protes tant agent. The consequence of this is visible. He lives in his mud hovel in an actual state of nature. His wife, himself, his children, and his pig, associate on terms of comfortable equality— the same sty covers, and the same potatoe feeds them; and the ear of the passenger would not easily distinguish between the howl of the host and the grunt of his family. The unfortunate victim of this system thus lingers out a miserable existence; or, sometimes finding even that im possible, flies to the fatal chances of illicit distil lation. With the jail of his landlord for his rent on one hand, and the jail of government sot his crime on the other, his morals become desperate as his fortune, and he plunges headlong into an abyss of perjury, too familiar to be any longer frightful. [lrish Journal. The following strange but well attested occurrence actually took place a few day 6 since. A map-servant in the employ of the Rev. Dr. Palmer, of Yarcombe, being taken ill, tjje med ical attendant on the family was sent for, who prepared a bolus from the family medicine chest, and haring wrapped up in paper the grain weights used in weighing out the proper proportions of the drug, left them op. the table, and near to them the bolus, which he desired one of the females of the house to carry to the man-servant, with instructions to take if immediately in treacle. Some hours afterwards, his master came to in quire about the patient, and found him suffering under very uneasy symptoms, which the man at tributed to the strange kind of medicine the doc tor had ordered him and which he said he “could never have got through with had he not cut it into smaller pieces,” but “ he thanked God, that though it was rather rough and sharpish, he had got it all down.” This account puzzled his mas ter exceedingly, who, however, soon discovered that the man had actually swallowed in treacle a complete set of brass grain-weights, instead of the bolus, which was found lying on the table, in his master’s room ! Proper remedies were immediate- ly adopted for dislodging this uncommon dose from the man’s stomach, who subsequently re covered from his illness. It would be difficult to find a parallel to this instance of implicit faith in the power of the curative art, or a similar ex hibition of astounding ignorance among “ unfledg ed animals walking on two legs.” [Bristol Mercury. The Typhus Fever has broken out in the Aus trian encampment in Italy : and has spread so widely, that in some regiments there are from 700 to 800 men laid up in the hospitals; and in oil there were 16,000 men sick. The cavalry had also suffered considerable loss, attributed to want of forage; 1500 horses bad died within a short time. Sea Serpent—again Capt. Grows, of the brig Minerva,arrived at Portland from Martinique, reports, that on the 30th ult. off Cape Ann, the sea quite smooth, and a very light breeze, he saw very distinctly, the Sea Serpent, at about 40 yards from bis vessel, steering South. Capt. G’s description of the serpent corresponds w ith for mer accounts. He has heretofore disbelieved the existence of this monster, but his doubts are now entirely eradicated. Guyaquil, it is said, was revolutionized on the 9th October last, without bloodshed. 196 New York, March 27. DEPARTURE OF rev. MR. IVARD. This excellent man and indefatigable servant of the cross, who has been severul months in this country collecting money for one o! the noblest and most benevolent pm poses which can com mand the atteutiou of the Christian world, em barked on Sunday afternoon in the Hercules tor j Liverpool. After spending a few days among his | friends in England, he will tske his departure lor , the last time for India, wherehe calculates to enu his days in the great work in which he has already j been engaged for more than twenty years. ‘ He preached on Sunday miming in the Baptist ■ Church in Fayelte-strcet, aid a collection was taken up for the Baptist Foreign Missionary So-, ciet> —the labours of which are now directed to the propagation of tfie Gospel in the Burmau empire, where the darkness of superstitiou and ; infidelity is of a deeper shade, if possible, than among the Hindoos. The service was solemn and interesting. After the closed the discourse, Mr. Ward delivered a short hut affecting tarewen ad dress to the audience, as representing the whole body of his Christian triends in America, of whom he spoke in terms of the most lively friendship, as well for the kindness and attention which had been shown him, s for the liberality with which they have contributed to the object of his mis sion. The audience were so much affected, that the tear glistened in almost every eye. A parting hymn, prepared tor the occasion, was then sung; and Mr. VV. accompanied by a number of friends to the boat, took his final departure from Amer ica. Mr. W. has preached many sermons in this city, and all directed to the same special object—yet, his mind is so well cultivated, and enriched with such a fund of that all have been new, instructive, and deeply interesting. We consider it peculiarly fortuuate for the mis sionary cause, that Mr. Ward has been called by Providence to visit this, country. His long resi dence in India—his intimate acquaintance with that counlryc-the climate and manners of its in- j habitants—their laws, customs, literature, and j languages—added to his talents and other general knowledge—have admirably fitted him, not only for the buisness in which he was more immediate ly concerned, but also to diffuse knowledge amongst ns, as to the actual condition of the peo ple of that country, and the success which has thus far attended the missionary establishments, and the prospect before them. His visit we con ceive will also have another salutaiy effect. It will tend to break down and destroy the prejudi ces which it is not to be denied still exist among qjany, against foreign missions. They have heard the testimony of a faithful and intelligent witness who has long been in the field. Having heard this testimony, they caunot longer believe that the object in view will never be accomplished. Many have forsaken their idols and embraced the Christian Faith—others are daily hearing the “joyful sound” from the lips of native missiona ries—and we have every reason to believe that all India will ere long, “stretch out her hands un to God.” In the city and connty of New-York are 71 places of pnblick religious worship—five are va cant, Sixty-three ministers have independent or associate charges; 10 or 12 reside in the city without paroclual charges. Beside these, there are several local Methodist preachers. The Sab bath Schools in the city, comprise about 7000 pupils, and 1000 superintendents and teachers. The apprentices library contains more than 5000 volumes—looo different apprentices improve it. The amount expended for publick and private schools in the city, comprising 6600 scholars, is stated at J 14,759 and 41 cents—compare this with the amount expended for spirituous liquors, $1,893, 011 !

April 1821. 46 ts PROPOSAL | For publishing in Augustine, East Florida, j A WEEKLY PAPER, TO BE ENTITLED THE FLORIDA GAZETTE. IT is the glorious characteristick of the age in which we live, that the Press, if not the her ald, i always the attendant upon every revolu tion, having for its object the emancipation of mind or the happiness of man. The Provinces of Florida having now become a part of the territory of the United States, it is believed that the tide of emigration will set rapidly towards her shores, in creasing her wealth, and filling her ports with our enterprising and industrious fellow citizens of the old states, and offering a home and a refuge to the exile and the fugitive from the oppression of Eu ropean thraldom. Favoured by nature with a fruitful soil—abounding in articles of luxury and commerce, and blessed with a climate more con genial to the constitution of the Etranger and so journer than the southern stated* this section of “our country must become great and powerful, and in time rival its neighbours in Agriculture, Com merce and in Arts. With these impressions, and under the belief that a well conducted Press is one of the most powerful auxiliaries, not only to morality and religion, but in promoting the wel fare of any particular section of country, the sub scribers propose to publish in the city of St. Au gustine, a Newspaper, under the above title. The Editors of the Gazette do not wish to make promises, or to raise expectations which may never be realized. It is sufficient to say that the politicks of their publication shall he American, and their conduct in the management shall be in strict accordance with the maxim— -44 Open to all parties—lnfluenced by none.” It will be the object of their industry and labour to render the Gazette the vehicle of the latest in telligence, Political, Commercial and Literary, and no effort will be spared to render it a pleas ing, an interesting and a valuable publication.
