SONNET.
Imitated from the Italian of Oiambattuta Cotta •
1 saw the Eternal God in robes of light.
Rise from his throne—to judgment forth He come;
His presence pass’d before me like the dame
That fires the forest in the depth of night;
Whirlwind and storm, amazement and affright,
Compass’d his path, and shook all nature's frame,
When from the heaven of heavens, with loud ac
claim,
To earth He wing'd his instantaneous flight.
As some triumphal oak,whose bows have spread
Their changing foliage through a thousand years,
Bows to the rushing wind its glorious bead,
The universal arch of yonder spheres
Sunk with the pressure of its Maker’s tread,
And earth’s foundations quaked with mortal fears.

NATURAL HISTORY.
THE WHITE BEAR.
From WKeevor’s Voyage to Hudson’s Bay.
“ While sailing through the straggling
he, one of the men on the quarter deck ob
served, at a few yards distant, a silver bear,!
and her two young cabs. The captain im
mediately ordered the jolly-boat to be low
ered, and muskets, pistols, cutlasses, &c. to
be got in readiness. All things being pre
pared, Mr. Fidler, Mr. Cockwell, the first
mate, with one or two more, set out in pur- j
suit of them. We were all leaning over !
the deck, waiting with the greatest anxie
ty for the interesting scene that we expect
ed to witness. They had not got many
yards from the vessel, when 1 beheld a very
affecting sight. The mother, observing
their approach, and aware of their inten
tion, set up a most doleful cry, and present
ly clasped her two young one's within her
fore paws. First she would look at one,
then at the other, and again resume her
piteous cry. Perceiving themeo approach
still nearer,she got them on her back, and
dived undeT water to a considerable dis
tance : when exhausted, she made to the
ice for shelter. This she did several suc
cessive times. The gentlemen who went
out for the purpose of shooting her, were
so justly affected at the sight, that they hu
manely returned to the ship without dis
charging their muskets. Still, however,
the bear apprehended danger. After get
ting on a detached piece of ice, ehe again
clasped her young ones with the greatest
tenderness,and continued her heart-melting
cries. In about ten minotes, another party,
Dot subject to the same correct sensibility
as the former, went in pursuit of her.—
Immediately on observing this, she again
took her young oa her back; one time get
ting under water; at another, escaping to
the ice for refuge. When the party had
got within a short distance of her, they all
fired. The mother, however, had covered
her young cubs so effectually, that she
alone was wounded, one of the balls enter
ing her chest. The 9cene that followed
was, if possible, still more affecting than
that we had already witnessed.
Though mortally wounded, she retained
within her fond embraces her tender young.
It looked as though the iron grasp of death
could not tear asunder those ties of affec
tion which bound her to them. Still she
would fondly gaze at the one, then at the
other, occasionally renewing her piteons
cries which had now become much more
feeble. But the purple current of life was
ebbing fast through the wound ; her sides
heaved—her eye became glassy and dim—
she looked at her young ones—gave a con
vulsive sob—laid down her head and ex
pired !
After this they had no difficulty in taking
the young cubs. They in vain, however,
endeavoured to loose them from their pa
rent’s embraces. Even while dragging her
np the side of the vessel they still kept
their hold. When they had got her on
board she was immediately skinned ; when
the skin was removed they put it into the
cage which had been prepared for the
young cubs. As they roared most hideous
ly from the time they were torn from the
mother, we were in hopes that this might
pacify them ; and it did so ; it was no soon
er introduced than they lard their heads
down upon it, and growled in a very affect
ing manner; when any one attempted to
touch it they roared very loud, and appear
ed much more irritable than usual. They
were brought home and sold in London at
a very high price.
When detached from its young, how very
different is the character of the polar bear
from that l have just described ? It is then
a most formidable animal, being apparently
the natural lord of th>se frozen regions.—
Every other animal shudders at his ap
proach, considering it as the signal for im
mediate The seals either re
tire to their submarine, dwellings, or con
ceal themselves in the fcrevices of the ice
islands, while the bear, stalking along with
solemn majesty, faces the breeze, raises
his head,and snuffs the passing scent,where
by he discovers the Dearest route to his
odorous banquet. A favourite poet, with
great truth and beauty, thus describes the
march of this formidable animal:
There, through the piny forest, half absorb'd,
Rough tenant of those shades, the shapeless bear,
With dangling ice, all horrid, stalks forlorn,
Slow paced, and sourer as the storms increase,
He makes bis bed beneath the inclement drift,
And with stern patience,scorning weak complaint,
Hardens bis heart against assailiDg want.
They are possessed of such uncommon
strength, and defend themselves when be
set, with such extraordinary obstinacy, that
even the natives of the country never ven
ture to attack them but in parties of eight
or ten, and. even then are often defeated J
with the less of one or more of their num-;
her. Though to a skilful rifleman the I
! danger is much diminished, the bear’
is still an animal of tremendous strength and 1
fierceness, as will appear from the fotlow
, ing adventure : Capt. Lewis tells us, that i
one evening the men in the hindermost of i
the canoe 9 discovered a large silver bear,
lying in the open grounds about 300 paces !
from the river. Six of them, all good <
hunters, set out to attack him, and conceal- i
ing themselves by a small eminence, came
unperceived within forty paces of him. —
Four of them now fired, and each lodged a
ball in his body, two of them directly thro’
the lungs. The justly enraged animal
sprung up, and ran open mouthed at them.
As he came near, the two hunters who had
reserved their fire gave him two wounds,
one of which, breaking his shoulder, re
tarded his motion for a moment; but be
fore they could re-load he was so near that
they were obliged to ruu to the river, and
before they reached it he had almost over
taken them. Two jumped into the canoe,
the other four separated, and concealing
themselves in the willows, tired as fast as
each could load. They struck him sev
eral times, but they only exasperated him,
and he at last pursued two of them so
closely, that they jumped down a perpen
dicular bank of 20 feet into the river ; the
bear sprang after them, and was within a
few paces from the hindmost, when one of
: the hunters on shore shot him in the head
and killed him. They dragged him on
shore, and found that eight balls had passed
through his body in different directions.—
Frequently they attack, and even attempt
to board armed vessels at a great distance
| from the shore, and arc sometimes repelled
I with difficulty. While on land, they prey
pn foxes, hares, martins, and young birds;
they also eat various kinds ofberries,which
they may chance to find while ranging
through the trackless desert. During these
excursions they not unfrequently enter the
habitations oflhe natives and carry off one
of the party. Mr. Howes, one of the in
land governours, mentioned to me, that one
evening he. and*'his companions were silting
in their wigwam, enjoying a social hour
after a hard day's hunting, when, on a sud
den, they found one of their party to disap
pear. A white bpar had, in fact, carried
him offhy the skirt of his coat. They all
immediately sallied out in pursuit of him,
which, when the bear observed, he instant
ly dropped his prey, and made off into the
woods. It is said that the best mode of re- •
pelling them on these occasions is by the
smell of burnt feathers. During the sum
mer months, being allured by the scent of
the carcasses of whales, seals, &c they
venture out on the ice. They have been
seen on those islands at the distance of more ‘
than eighty miles from land, preying and;
feeding as they float along. During the j
winter they retire and immerse themselves J
deep beneath the snow, where they pass .
the long and dreary arctick winter, and do:
not again appear until the return of spring, i
The whole animal is white, except on
the point of the nose and the claws, which
are of a deep black colour; the ears are
small and sharp, and Ihe eye small and of a
deep jet black; the hair is of a great
length, and the limbs are of an enormous
size, and of a very unseemly shape. I tast
ed the flesh of the one we killed, and think
it by do means bad eating. It had, howev
er, a fishy taste. The paw, when dried
and smoked, is considered a delicious mor
sel. Among the Chinese, the flesh is con
sidered as one of the greatest rarities, inso
much that, as Du Haldy informs us, the era
perour will send fifty or a hundred leagues
into Tartary to procure them for a great
entertainment. At the approach of winter
they become extremely fat; 100 pounds
have been taken from a single beast at this
time of the year. Their skins are used
for a variety of purposes. By the Esqui
menux they are used for the purpose of
making boots, shoes, and other articles of
dress. In this country they are sold prin
cipally for covers of coach-boxes. The
length of one whose history I have related,
measured thirteen feet The tendons,
when split, are used by the Esquimeaux as
a substitute for thread ; for which purpose,
if we might judge by the neatness of their
workmanship, it answers admirably. They
appear to be confined to the coldest part of
our globe, being found as far north as any
navigators have yet been able to penetrate.
Sketches of Society in South America.
Extracted from a “ Narrative of the Proceedings
in Venezuela, in the years 1819 and 1820.
By George Lovel Chesterton, late Captain and
Judge Advocate of the British Legion, raised
for the Republick of Venezuela.”
“There is no distinction between mis
tresses and married women; each mixing
together. Neither is the company of wo
men, whose characters are notoriously bad,
at all shunned (of which I -could mention
several examples;) but they are as well re
ceived, even at balls, or parties of any de
scription, as though they were without
blemish. Infidelity to the marriage bed
is considered as a mere bagatelle.
“ The natives of all descriptions are much
addicted to theft; so much so, that it is al
ways necessary to keep the strictest eye
upon what you have. When parties have
been given by foreigners, they have gener
ally found their silver spoons, forks, &c.
reduced in number; and on one occasion,
after a ball given by an English merchant
at Aogostura, a Patriot Colonel was detect
ed by a servant in the act of carrying away
a bottle of brandy, with which he had al
ready descended the stairs. * * * *
“In the journey, which I had made
through a great portion of the Province of
Caraccas, having visited some of the most
considerable towns in Venezuela, I had
constant opportunities of conversing with
the inhabitants, and of judging of their sen
timents—which I never neglected doing.—
j The result of these observations has been,
j a conviction that a greater part of the na-
I fives of the epuntry are averse to Indepen
32
dence, at least under its present advocates.
They are constantly designated marauders
and murderers, and their so olten repeated
threat of inarching to Caraccas, was ridi
culed.”
It is not improbable that the Englishman
from whose work the foregoing is extract
ed may have exaggerated and caricatured
some of the traits of moral depravity pour
trayed in his sketches. But if his pictures
have only a faint resemblance ot the origin
als—still if there is any likeness at all, our
government are justifiable in the policy
they have pursued in not taking an active
part in favour of the South American insur
gents. It is seriously to be doubted wheth
er any good purpose could be effected by
foreigners intermeddling with the contests
of a people, a majority of whom we tear,
are neither worthy of, nor even wish for
that liberty for which a part of th* popula
tion is contending. Nat. Gazette.
GREAT NATIONAL FESTIVAL.
“ Hail, sacred polity.’ by freedom rear'd ,
“ Hail, sacred freedom! wfun by laws restrain'd .”
Beattie.
The birthday of the American Republick ap
pears to have been celebrated the present year
with rather more than common eclat. The pa
pers from various parts of the country, so far as
we have seen them, are teeming with the details
of numerous and splendid celebrations, and afford
a flattering proof that the blessings of the most
perfect form of government on earth are in some
measure appreciated by a grateful people. If, in
deed, the spirit which w.irnif and the hearts of our
fathers in the trying hour w hen the declaration
of their independence was to be maintained by
the sacrifice of their treasures and their blood,
have in ar.y degree departed from among us, the
remembrance of their struggles and of their final
triumph is yet deeply impressed upon the minds
of their descendants. We rejoice in those vol
untary expressions of devotion and attachment
to our Constitution and Laws which are made on
this occasion ; and we are particularly gratified
to notice, that in the various toasts which we have
seen, with few exceptions, there is little party
asperity or sectional feeling manifested. The
“ good health” of President Monroe has been uni
versally drunk, and the heads of the various de
partments have come in for a full share of publick
approbation. Long, long may our present una
nimity and good fellowship continue. We select
j the following toasts from the multitude before us,
• not however, because they are the only ones we
deem worth publishing.
At Savannah.
The Day we celebrate.—May it long be re
membered as dear to Americans, and may “chaos
i come again” ere we forget to celebrate and cher
ish it.
j The state of Georgia.—A bright Star in rtpub
| lican splendour, she has always been a worthy
| member of the “Old Federal 13.” her destinies
are high, may her sons never forget duly to appre
: ciate them.
The Navy, the pride of our country.—Haughty
| Brittannia has heard her terrible thunders, and
felt her power; the humble Turk bows under
her star-spangled banner.
The State of Missouri.—A child of the old La
dy at good old age, but fine and promising; her
political godfathers will be to blame for her refrac
tory conduct, for having had her christened after
she had cut her eye-teeth.
The Floridas.—An orphan child of an unwor
thy parent, but now adopted into the great Re
publican family ; she has been badly brought up,
but by gentle correction with “ Tennessee Hick
ory,” she may become a respectable member of
this worthy family.
Internal Improvement.—We have a bright ex
ample of their beneficial effects in our sister state,
South Carolina, and very detrimental bo our in
terests ; may our legislators apply a remedy in
time by granting advantages to enterprising indi
viduals ; we hope soon to see the Ogechee blend
its waters with the SaTannah, and the waters of
the Alatamaha kiss the sands of Brunswick.
The Battle of New Orleans.—“ For further par
ticulars inquire of” John Bull.
Liberty of the Frets.—To freemen the /Egis of
Minerva, to Despots the Gorgon head of Medusa.
Grape to our friends and chain-shot to onr en
emies.
George Washington.—The world is his sepul
chre, and may his great name ever be the war
cry of the oppressed, the lightning to blast and
to rive the monuments of tyranny.
At Monticello Geo.
Publick officers.—May they never forget that
they are but the clay in the hands of the potter.
Publick Education.—The firm basis of the tem
ple of liberty: the diffusion of knowledge is one
of the surest safeguards of our political blessings.
The Navy of the United States—whose thun
ders have awakened the Leviathan of the Ocean
from a century’s dream of invincibility.
At Beaufort, S. C.
The Declaration of Independence.—Like the
star in the east, that guided to the Saviour of
souls ; so may it lead to the emancipation of all
mankind from tyranDy.
At Alexandria, D. C.
General Jackson.—He negotiates with his
cannon, and signs treaties with his sword. The
Dons have had some hasty translations.
The Banking System —Keep the rats out of
“ the house that Jack built.”
The Fair Sex.—The only despotick power to
which freemen should ever kneel.
NEW YORK GRAND CANAL.
From the New York Statesman of July 3.
“ While on the subject of the canal, and at the
eve of the anniversary of our national indepen
dence, the coincidence brings to mind a splendid
prediction, which we heard a distinguished gen
tleman utter, while in conversation with him
some time since. ‘The 4th of July, 1824,’ said
he, ‘ will be celebrated on the Grand Canal, in
commemoration of its completion. On that day,
and in honour of two events, the most glorious in
the annals of our history, the banks of the canal
from Erie to the Hudson will be lined with can
non, planted within speaking distance. The
channel of the canal will be covered with boats,
fancifully adorned with American banners, each
bearing a band of musick, and filled with ladies
and gentlemen. Both banks will be crowded with
spectators, who will convene from oil parts of the
stale, and from other states, to witness the gran
deur of the scene, and unite in the festivities of
the occasion. A feu de joie of cannon, the
echoes of musick, and the shouts of immense
multitudes will ring along the line from the wa
ters of the Hudson to the shores of the lake. 1
am rapidly descending into the vule of years, con
tinued he, and my infirmities admonish me that I
may not live to see that day ; but you and my
children will, and unite in celebrating the birth
day of slur nation, and the consummation of the
glory of New York.”
A Discovery.-Vt. Ilo.ack ha* lately read to
the Historical Society of New York, “A Biograph
ical Memoir of the lute Dr. Hugh Williamson, a
native of Pennsylvania. This production is ren
dered peculiarly interesting by the evidence it
contains of a fact which has never before been
publickly asserted or known, that Dr. Williamson
was the person who obtained for l)r. Franklin
the famous letter written by Hutchinson and Oli
ver, the goveruour oud lieutenant governour of
Massachusetts, to the British government, just
before the breaking out of the American revolu
tionary war. Dr. Williamson had learned in
London, “ that Hutchinson’s letters were depo
sited in an office different from that in winch they
ought regularly to have been placed ; and having
understood that there was little exactness in the
business of that office, he immediately repaired to
it and addressed himself to the chief clerk, not
finding the principal within. Assuming the de
meanour of oflicial importance, he perempto
rily stated that he had come for the last letters
that had been received from governour Hutchiu
son and Mr. Oliver, noticing the office in which
they ought regularly to have been placed. ‘V ith
out a question being asked, the letters were de
livered. The clerk, doubtless, supposed him to
be an authorized person from some other publick
office. Dr. Williamson immediately carried them
to Dr. Franklin, and the next day left London
for Holland.”
The oldest Paper in the United States.— The
Editor of the Baltimore Federal Republican, by
reference to the manuscript history of Maryland,
by Thomas W. Griffiths, Esq. has discovered that
there ie a paper thirteen years older than the
Newport Mercury. “It is the Maryland Gazette,
which was first established in 1745, by Jonas
Green, Esq. and which is now very ably con
ducted by Mr. Jonas Green, who is a descendant
from the original proprietor. It is now 76 years
old, and a real seventy sixer it is.”
Literary Shoemakers. —The late Mr. Ilolcroft
was originally an indigent shoemaker: Robert
Bloomfield wrote his poem of The Farmer's Boy,
while employed at this business; and Dr. Win.
Carey, professor of Sanscrit and Bengalee, at the
College of Fort William, Calcutta, and the able
and indefatigable translator of the Scriptures into )
many of the Eastern languages, was in early life j
a shoemaker in Northamptonshire. The present
Mr. Gifford, the translator of Juvenal, and the
supposed editor of the Quarterly Review, spent
some of his early days in learning the “ craft and
mystery” of a shoemaker, as he tells us in one of
the most interesting pieces of autobiography ever
penned, and prefixed to his nervous version of the
Roman satirist.
To kill rats. —Mix equal quantities of pounded
quick lime, sugar, or molasses, and oatmeal, (or
coarse grist) together; lay it in a place frequent
ed by the rats, end place a shallow basin full of
water, near each parcel of the powder The rats
will eat the powder, and then drink till they
burst; after which the rest will go away.
Preservation of Meal. —We are indebted to a
friend for the following communication, which we
expect will be acceptable to a number of our
readers. It is a simple and easy mode of preserv
ing meat fresh for several days, during the warm
est weather. He tried it in succession on two
legs of veal, which were preserved fresh and
sweet four or five days, and he thinks might long
er if wished for. On getting this veal from the
market, it was washed in about two quarts of wa
ter in which a handful of fine salt had been mix
ed ; was then placed on a dish and set away in a
wire safe, in a cool situation, covered with a
clean towel that had been previously steeped in
the salt and water, before the washing operation
commenced. This leg of veal was dressed the
next day, was washed a second time in fresh salt
and water, as before, placed in the safe, but not
covered with a towel; the third and fourth day
it was treated exactly in the same way, and it was
found perfectly sweet and good, without any
sensible taste of salt. Had the same treatment
been continued for one week, I have little doubt
but it would produce the same effect; and I see
no reason why this treatment should not be alike
successful in preserving beef, mutton and lamb.
If so, the experiment is worth a trial.
N. Y. paper.
Wit by the wayside. —ln the neighbourhood of
Haddam castle, Dumfrieshire, there is a tower
called Repentance. A pleasant answer of a shep
herd boy to Sir Richard Steele, founded on the
name of this tower, is related. Sir Richard, hav
ing observed a boy on the ground, and very at
tentive reading his Bible, asked if be could tell
him the way to Heaven? ‘Yes, Sir,’ answered
the boy, ‘you must go by that tower.’
Confessions.— Lord Waldograve, having abjur
ed the Catholick Religion, was a long time am
bassador at Paris. He was one day teased upon
the subject es his conversion by the duke of
Burwick. ‘Pray,’ said he, ‘ Mr. Ambassador,
who had most to do in your conversion, the min
isters of state or the ministers of religion ?” ‘ This
is a question,’ said his lordship, ‘ you must excuse
my answering, for when I ceased to be a Catho
lick, I renounced confession.”
