POETRY.
A THEME FOR A POET.*
BT JAMES MONTGOMERY.
“ What shall 1 do to be forever known ?”
COWLEY.
The arrow that shall lay me low,
Was shot from fate’s unerring bow,
The hour l first drew breath ;
And every footstep 1 proceed,
It tracks me with increasing speed;
1 turn, it meets me ; Death
Has given such impulse to that dart.
It points forever at my heart,
And soon of me it must be said,
That I have lived—that I am dead. 1
Os all 1 leave behind,
A few may weep a little while,
Then bless my memory with a smile:
What monument of mind
Catrl bequeath to deathless fame,
That after-times may love rey name ?
Let Southey sing of war’s alarms,
The pride of battle, din of arms,
The glory and the guilt
Os nations treacherously enslaved,
As realms by patriot martyrs saved :
Os blood insanely spilt,
And millions sacrificed to fate,
To make one little mortal great.
Let Stott in wilder strains, delight
To chant the lady and the knight,
The tournament, the chase,
The wizard’s deeds without a name,
Perils by ambush, flood, and Same,
Or picturesquely trace
The hills that form a world so high,
The lajce that seems a downward sky.
Let Wordsworth weave in mystick rhyme,
Feelings ineffably sublime;
And sympathies unknown;
Yet so our yielding breasts inthral,
His soul shall transmigrate through all,
His thoughts become onrown ;
And strangely pleased, we smile to find,
Such hidden treasures in our mind.
l.et Campbell's sweeter numbers flow
Through every change of joy or wo-,
Hope’s dreaming dreams display
The Pennsylvanian cottage wild;
The frenzy of O’Connor’s child,
Or Linden’s dreadful day;
And still in each new theme appear,
To every Muse and Grace more dear.
Let Byron with untrenjbling hand,
Impetuous font and fiery brand,
Lit at the flames of hell,
Go down, and search the human heart,
’Till fiends from every corner start,
Their crimes and plagues to tell;
Then let him fling his torch away,
And sun his oul in heaven’s pure day.
Transcendent Masters of the Lyre!
Not to your honours I aspire ;
Humbier, yet higher views
Have touch’d my spirit in*o flame;
The pomp of Faction 1 disclaim ;
Fair truth be thou my Muse;
Jit-veal in splendour deeds obscure;
Above the proud exalt ihe poor.
I sing the men who left their home,
Amidst barbarian chns to roam;
Who land and ocean cross’d.
Led by a star, discern’d on high
By Taith’s unseen, all-seeing eye,
To seek and save the lost;
Where'er the curse on Adam spread,
To call his children from the dead.
Strong in the great Redeemer’s name,
They bore the cross, despised the shame;
And, like their Master here,
Wrestled with danger, pain, distress,
Hunger, and cold, and nakedness,
And every form of fear ;
To taste his love their only joy,
To tell that love their best employ,
O thou of old -n Bethlehem born,
A Man of sorrows and of scorn,
Jesus! the sinner’s Friend !
Oh Thou, enthron’d, in filial right,
Above all creature power and height;
Whose kingdom shall extend,
’Til! earth like heav< n. thy name shall £ll,
Apd men, like angels, do thy will:
Then, wiitom I love, cannot see ;
My Lord ! my God! look down on me,
My low affections raise :
Thy spirit of life and light impart,
Enlarge, inspire, inflame my heart;
And w - ‘ i spread thy praise,
Shin, n my path, in mercy shine,
Prosper my work, and make it thine.
* Written in 1814. in contemplation of his

MISCELLANY.
BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS.
A work has lately been received at Boston from
London, entitled “ A Narrative of (he Campaigns
of the British array, at Washington and New Or
leans, in the years 18Mand 1315. By an Officer
who served in the expedition.” Copious and in
teresting extracts from this work have appeared
in the Boston Daily Advertiser, particularly the
details of the capture of Washington, the attack
on Baltimore, and the assault on the American
lines near New Orleans. The following narrative
of the last mentioned action, is all we can at pre
rentgive. After noticing the partial affair of the
Ist of January, he thus speaks of the grand assault
on the Bth :
“ It was detertcincd to divide the army,
to send part across the river, tvho should
seize the enemy’s guns and turn them on
themselves; while (ho remainder should,
at the same time, make a general assault
along the whole intrenchment. But before
this plan could he put in execution, it would
be necessary to cut a canal across the en
tire neck oflaud, from the Bovo de Cata
line to the river, of sufficient width and
depth to admit of boats being brought up
from the lake. Upon this arduous under
taking wore the troops immediately em
ployed. Being divided into four companies,
itiey laboured by turns, day and night ; one
party relieving another after a staled num
ber of hours, in such order as that the
work sbou ! d never be entirely deserted.—
The. faligu ; undergone daring the prosecu
tion of this attempt, no words can sufficient
ly describe ; yet it was pursued without re*
pining, and at length, by unremitted exer- J
tions, they succeeded in effecting their pur- |
i pose by the 6th of January.”
I He proceeds to state, that in the mean time
1 Maj. Gen. Lambert unexpectedly arrived with
two full regiments, musti ring 800 effective men
each —and that with the addition of a body of
! sailors and marines from the fleet, their numbers
now amounted to a little short of 8000 men. He
says there were various reports of the American
force, some stating them at 23, and others at 30,-
000. He supposes 25,000 to be the probable num
ber.
“ The canal, as 1 have stated, being fin
ished on the 6tb, it was resolved to lose no
time iu making use of it. Boats were ac
cordingly ordered for the transportation of
1400 men; and Col. Thornton, with the
85th regiment, the marines and a party of
sai'ors vvere ordered to cross the river.—
But a number of untoward accidents occur
red, to spoil apian of operations as cor
rectly laid down as any in the course of the
war. The soil through which the canal
was dog being soft, par.l of the bank gave
way, and choking op the channel, prevent
ed the heaviest of the boats from getting
forward. These again blocked up the pas
sage, so that none of those which were be
hind, could proceed, and thus, instead of a
(lotiila for the accommodation of 1400 men,
only a number of boats sufficient to contain
SSO, was enabled to reach their destination.
Even these did not arrive at the appointed
time. According to the preconcerted plan,
Col. Thornton’s detachment was to cross
the river immediately after dark. They
were to push forward so as to carry ail the
butteries, and point the guns before day
light ; when on the throwing up of a rock
et (bey were to commence tiring upon the
enemy’s line, which at the same moment
was to be attacked by the main body of ur
army.
“In this manner was one part of the
force to acl, while thv rest were thus ap
pointed. Dividing his troops into three
columns, Sir Edward [Packenham] directed
that Gen. Keane, at the head of the 95ih,
the light companies of the 21st,4th and 44th
together with the two black corps, should
make a demonstration or sham attack upon
the right ; that Gen. Gibbs with the 4th,
21st, 44th and 93d, should force the ene
my’s left, while Gen. Lambert with the
7th and 43d remained in reserve, ready to
act as circumstances might require. But in
storming an intrenched position, something
more than bare courage is required. Scal
ing ladders and fascines had therefore been
prepared, with which to fill up the ditch
and mount the wall; and since to carry
these was a service of danger, requiring
a corps well worthy of dependence, the
44th was for that purpose selecled, as a
regiment of sufficient numerical strength,
and alre.ady accustomed to American war
fare. Thus were all things arranged on
the night of the 7th, for the Bth was fixed
upon as the day decisive of the fate of New
Orleans.
“ While the rest cf the army therefore lay
down to sleep till they should be roused up
to tight, Col. Thornton with the 85th, and
a corps of marines and seamen, amounting
in all to 1400 hundred men, moved down to
the brink of the river. As yet, however,
no boats had arrived; hour after hourelap
sed before they came ; and when they did
come the misfortunes which I have stated
above were discovered, for out of all that
had been ordered up, only a few made
their appearance. Still it was absolutely
necessary that this part of the plan should
be carried into execution. Dismissing,
therefore, the rest of his followers, the
Colonel put hitn=elf at the head of his own
regiment, about 50 *eatnen,and as many ma
rines, and with .his small force, consisting
of lie moi ■ ihao 340 men, pushed off. But
unfortunately, the loss of time nothing could
repair. Instead of reaching the opposite
bank, at least by midnight, dawn wo* be
ginning to appear before the boats quitted
tbs canal, it was in vain that they rowed
on in perfect silence, and with oars muffled,
gaining the point of debarcation without
being perceived. It was in vain that they
made good their landing and formed upon
the beach, without opposition or alarm ; dav
had already broke, and the signal rocket
was seen in the air, while they’ were yet
four miles from the batterie*, which ought,
hours ago, to have been taken.
“ In the mean lime, the main body armed
and moved forward some way in front of
the piquets. There they stood waiting for
daylight, and listening with the greatest
anxiety for the firiug which ought now to
be heard on the opposite bank. But this
attention was exerted in vain, and day
dawned upon them long before (hey desir
ed its appearance. Nor was Sir Edward
Packenham disappointed in this part of his
plan alone. Instead of perceiving every
thing in readiness for the assault, he saw
bis troops in battle array indeed, but not a
ladder or fascine upon (lie field. The 441 h
which had been appointed to carry them,
had either misunderstood or neglected their
orders ; and now headed the column of at
tack without any means being provided for
crossing the enemy’s ditch, or scaling his
rampart.
“ The indignation of poor Packenham on
this occasion may be imagined, hut cannot
be described. Galloping towards Colonel
Mullens who led the 44th he commanded
him instantly to return with his regiment
for the ladders, but the opportunity for
planting them was lost, and though they
were brought up, it was only to be scatJer
'ed over the field by the frightened bearers,
Ifor our troops were by this time visible to
I Ihe enemy. A dreadful fire was ar.cord
! ingly opened upon them, and they were
’ mowed down by hundreds while they stood
; waiting for orders.
“ Seeing that all his well-laid plans were
frustrated, Packenham gave the word to
!advance, and the other regiments leaving
the 44th with the ladders and fascines be
hind them, rushed on to the assault. On
(the left, a detachment of the 95th, 2lst
28
and 4th, stormed n three gun LaMry and
took it. Here they remained for sotne time
in the expectation of support; nonear
riving, and a strong column ot the enemy
forming for its recovery, they determined
to anticipate the attack, and pushed on.—-
The battery which they had taken was in
advance of the body of tho works, being
cut off from it by a ditch, across which only
e single plank was thrown. Along this
plank did these brave men attempt to pass;
but being opposed by overpowering num
ber*, they were repulsed ; and the Ameri
cans, in turn, forcing their way into the
battery, at length succeeded in recapturing
it with immense slaughter. On the right,
again, the 21st and 4th being almost cut to
| pieces and thrown into some contusion by
the enemy’s fire, the 93d pushed on and
took the lead. Hastening forward, our
troops soon reached the ditch ; bat to scale
the parapet without ladders was impossible.
Some few indeed, by mounting upon one
another’s shoulders, succeeded in entering
the works, but these were instantly over
powered, most of them killed, and the rest
taken ; while as many as stood without
vvere exposed to a sweeping fire, which cut
them down by whole companies. It was iu
vain that the most obstinate courage was
displayed. They fell by the hands of men
whom they absolutely did not see ; for the
Americans, without so much as lifting their
faces above the rampart*, swung their fire
locks by one arm ver ihp wall, and dis
charged them directly e;.on their heads. —
The whole of the gun*, likewise, from the
opposite lank, kept up a well directed and
deadly cannonade upon their flank ; and
thus they vvere destroyed without an op
portunity being given of displaying their
valour, or obtaining so much as revenge.
“ Poor Packenham saw how thing.* vvere
going, and did all that a general coaid do to
rally his broken troops. Holing towards
the 44th, which bad returned to the ground,
but in great disorder, be called out for Col.
Mullens to advance ; but (bat officer had
disappeared and wa* not to be found. He
therefore prepared to lead them on himself, j
and had put himself at their head for that 1
purpose, when he received a slight wound 1
in the knee from a musket ball which kill
ed his horse. Mounting another, he again
headed the 44th, when a second ball took
effect more fatally, and he dropped lifeless
into the arms of his aid-de-camp.
“ Nor were Generals Gibbs and Keane
inactive; riding through the ranks they
strove by all means to encourage the as
sailants and recall the fugitives ; tiil at
length both were wounded, and borne off
the field. All was now confusion and dis
may. Without leaders, ignorant of what
was to be done, the troops first halted and
then began to reJire ; till finally the re
treat wa9 changed into a flight, and they
quitted the ground iu the utmost disorder.
But the retreat was covered in a gallant
style by the reserve. M iking a forward
motion, the 7th and 43d presented the ap
pearance of a renewed attack ; by which
the enemy were so much awed that they
did not venture beyond their lines in pursuit
of the fugitives.
“While affmrs were thus disastrously conducted
in this quarter, the party under Colonel Thorn
ton had gained the landing place. On stepping
ashore, the first thing the;, beheld was a rocket
throvvn up as a signal that the buttle was begun.
This unwelcome sight added wings to their speed.
Forming in one little column, and pushing for
ward a single company as an advanced guard,
they hastened on, and in half an hour reached a
canal, along the opposite bank of which a detach
ment of American* was drawn up. To dislodge
them was the work of a moment : a boat with a
erraonade in her bow got upon their flank, gave
them a single discharge of grape, while the advan
ced guard extended its ranks, and approached at
double quick time. But they scarcely waited till
the latter were within range, wheji tiring a volley,
they fled in confusion. This, however, was only
all outpost. The main body was some way in
rear and amounted to no fewer than fifteen hun
dred men.
“It was not long, however, before they likewise
presented themselves. Like their countrymen
on the other side, they were strongly intrenched,
a thick parapet with a ditch covering their front
while a battery on their left swept the whole po
sition, and two field pieces commanded the road.
Os artillery the assailants possessed not a single
piece, nor any means, beyond what nature gave,
of scaling the rampart. Yet nothing daunted by
the obstacles before them, or by the immense
mlds to which they were opposed, dispositions for
an immediate attack were made. Tha 85th ex
tending its files, stretched across the entire line
of the enemy-, the sailors in column prepared to
storm the battery, while the marines remained
some little way in rear of the centre as a re
serve.
“ These arrangements being completed, the bu
gle sounded, and our treops advanced. The sai
lors raising a shout, rushed forward, but were met
by so heavy a discharge of grape and canister,
that for an instant they paused. Recovering
themselves, however, they again pushed on ; and
the 85th dashing forward to their aid, they re
ceived a heavy fire of musketry, and endeavoured
to charge. A smart firing was now for a few
minutes kept up on both sides, but our people
had no time to waste in distant fighting, and ac
cordingly hurried on to storm the works; upon
which, a panick seized the Americans, they lost
their order and fled, leaving us in possession of
their tents, and of eighteen pieces of cannon.
“In this affair our loss amounted to only three
men killed, and about forty wounded ; among
the latter of whom, was Col. Thornton. Nor
could the loss on the part of the enemy greatly
exceed our own. Had they stood firm, indeed,
it is hardly conceivable that so small a force
could have taken an entrenched position from
numbers so superiour ; at least it could not have
been done without much bloodshed. But the
fact is, that they were completely surprised. An
I attack on this side was a circumstance of which
they had not dreamed; ana when men are as
saulted in a point which they deem beyond the
reach of danger, it is well known that they de
’ fend themselves with less vigour, than where such
! an event was anticipated.
! “ When in the act of storming these lines, the
1 word was passed throngh our ranks, that all had
j gone well on the opposite bank. This naturally
j added to the vigour of the assault; but we had
not followed our flying enemy above two miles,
when we were commanded to halt. The real
state of the case had now reached us, and (he
same messenger who brought tha melancholy
news, brought likewise an order to return.
The place where we halted was in rear ot a
canal, across which was thrown a wooden bridge,
furnishing, apparently, the only means of pas mg. (
At the opposite end of the bridge stood a cdlec
tion of wooden cottages, and one chateau ot se me
size. Here a company was stationed to serve the
double purpose of a piquet and a rear guard ;
while the rest of the troops, having rested for hall
an hour, began their inarch towards the point
where they had lauded. ,
14 As soon as the main body had got sufficiently
on their way, the piquet likewise prepared to fol
low. , . .
u But iu doing jo, it was evident that some risK
must be run. The enemy having rallied, began
once mere to show a front; that is to say, parties
of sixty or a hundred men now approached to re
connoitre. These, however must he deceived,
otherwise n pursuit might be commenced and the
re-eiubarcation of the whole corps hindered or
prevented. The officer commanding the piquet
accordingly formed his men, and made a show of
advancing. Upon which tin* Americans fled;
when wheeling about, he set fire to the chateau ; ,
and, under cover of the smoke, destroyed the
bridge and retreated. Making all haste towards
the rear, he overtook bis comrades just as they
had begun to embark; when the little corps be
ing once more united entered their boats, and
reached the opposite bank without molestation.”
KOTEZBUANA.
A Mr. Muchler, at Berlin, has extracted from
107 works of Kotzebue, a collection of 905
thoughts, observations, s£c. which will doubtless
be very popular. We select a few :
217. Grateful men are like fruitful fields; they ;
return what they have received ten-fold.
366. People become ill by drinking healths: be
who drinks the health of every body, drinks away
his own.
377. A tolerant spirit acquires the love of high
and low. Tale-bearing is a carrion fly, that
buzzes at every one’s windows, and dirties every
tiling. >
35. Poetry ought to be the handmaid of truth, !
and dress her mistress.
255. The road to marriage is as rough as a
highway in Saxony.
80. Cards and hearts have much resemWnnce
to each other: on the one side they all seem
smooth and clean, unless indeed they have been
too often played with—but who dares look at
them till they are dealt ? Many a man has sat
down with great expectations, and when he looks ;
at what he has got, he says half aside, 1 1 pass.’
332. Men are like cards in the hand of fate:
there they figure for a time, till they are played,
and trumped by death.
763. \ girl is often a biil of exchange, which
the father endorses and the bridegroom accepts.
I The girl pays the value according to the law of
i bills of exchange.
I 246. To kill Ihe defenceless , brings no glory :
! revenge, to become a man, must be pubhek.
731. The splendour which surrounds a mar
tyr has condemned many a one to the scaffold,
who might have become the saviour of his nation.
HoW applicable are the latter two to the un
happy and unfortunate Sandt 1 It will doubtless
be recollected that M. de Kotzebue was assassin
ated in his ow-n house, by that young man, in the
year 1819.
King James I. of England went out of his way
to hear a noted preacher. The clergyman seeing
the king enter, left his text to declaim against
swearing, for which the king was notorious.
When done, James thanked him fur his sermon ;
but asked him what connexion swearing had with
his text. He answered, “ since your majesty
came out of your way through curiosity, 1 could
net, in complaisance, do less than go out of mine
to meet you.”
Gravity of face (affected').
Persons who assume reserve, gravity, and si
lence, often practise this trick to gain credit of the
world for that sense and information which they
are conscious they do not possess When I see
a grave fool put on this pompons disguise, he re
minds me of a poor and vain man who places
strong padlocks on his trunks, so that the visiter
may suppose that they contain valuable articles ;
though he knows himself that they are quite emp
ty How keenly does our great bard satirize such
men—
“ There are a sort of men whore visages
Do cream and mantle like a standing pool,
And do a wilful stillness entertain,
With purpose to be dress’d in an opinion
Os wisdom, gravity, profound conceit;
As who should say, * I am Sir Oracle,
And when 1 ope my lips, let no dog hark.”
New method of teaching Musick.
A Highland piper having a scholar to teach,
disdained to crack his brain with the names of
semibreves, minims, crotchets and quavers.
Here, Donald, said he, take your pipes, lad, and
gi’ us up a blast. So!—very well blown indeed.
But what is sound, Donald, without sense ? You
may blow forever, without making a tune of it, if
I don’t tell you how the queer things on (he pa
per must help you. You see that big fellow with
the round open face ; (pointing to a semibreve be
tween the two lines of a bar) he moves slowly
from that line to this, while you beat one with
your foot and gi’ a long blast; if now yon put a
leg td him, you make two of him, and he will
move twice as fast; if you blacken his face, he
will run four times faster than the first fellow
with a white face ; but if, after blackening his
face, yon bend his knee, or tie his legs, he.-will
hop eight times faster than the white faced fellow
I shewed you at first.
Now, whene’er yon blow your pipes, Donald,
remember this, the tighter those fellows legs are
tied, the faster they will run, and the quicker
they are sure to dance.
