POETRY.
STANZAS.
I did not gaze upon her bier,
When she was borne away;
Nor sited a single burning tear
Upon her lifeless clay. *
Though many wept who lov’d her less,
Through years of dark and deep distress,
When came her dying day;
Yet will I not the secret keep—
My bosom w'as too full to weep.
1 followed not the silent throng.
That bore her to her doom,
Nor met my ear the mournful song
They sung beside her tomb—
I knew her fate—the funeral knell,
Long, deep, and melancholy, fell
Upon my heart of gloom,.
And bowed in silent solitude—
Orer my ruin’d hopes to brood.
And still came back the happy hours,
On memory’s golden wing,
When hand in hand we pluck’d the dowers
That bloom'd in earliest spring—
And brighter joys (hat fancy gave,
And hopes now wither’d in the grave,
Still, still would fondly cliug,
Around my soul, as black despair
Infused its deadly poison there.
Years, years hare passed in sorrow by,
And yet I have, not wept—.
Tho’ ne’er from memory’s dimless eye,
Her image lies been kept—
I mourn’d at first as now I mourn,
O'er hopes that never can return—
O’er joys that long have slept—
Tho’ to my soul she hourly came—
Thro’years I have not named her name.
And they who poured beside her grave
The bitter tears of woe,
Their grief was like the fickle wave,
Whost ebb succeeds its flow ;
But mine is like the flooded lake,
Whose calm the whirlwind scarce can break,
Whose depth there’s noue can know,
Whose springs lie hid within its breast,
Torever full and yet at rest.
But waters long confined will wear
A channel to the sea;
And he whose life has been but care,
Will one day burst as free—-
Yet though in early youth I die,
1 here’s none shall know the reason why ;
Unknown—unnamed shall be
The secret cause, the hidden spring,
That early plumes my spirit's wing.
[Extract from a prize poem written by ft. S. Ber
esford, of Clare Hall, (Eng.) in 1816.]
There is a bud in life’s dark wilderness,
Whose beauties charm, whose fragrance soothes
distress ; i
There is & beam in life’s o’erclouded sky,
That gilds the starting tear it cannot dry.
That flower, that lovely beam, on Eden's grove
Shed the full sweets and heavenly light of love.
Alas 1 that aught so fair could lead astray
Man's wav’ring foot from duty’s thornless way.
Yet, lonty woman ! yet thy winning smile ,
That caused our cares, can every care beguile.
DIVERSITY.

Extract of a letter from a young gentleman now
in Eurone to a corre.pnmient in the U. States,
published in the Richmond Enquirer.
, Genoa , .
“ I have been rambling about Italy for
14 monih* and know every road in it bet
ter than any one in America, and evtTy
street or lane in Mijan, Florence, Rome.
Venice, fee. far. & c . better tbao the Main
rtreet in Richmond; I am, however, 1 be
lieve about to quit it. 1 f e r forever. lam
here lingering on the end.
“On the 16th we arrived here : abont
two miles from town we overtook a gentle
man on horseback, attended by a servant:
1 looked at his face and instantly recogni
zed him from a portrait by an American
fia.inter, West, nbw at Florence, to be the
most extraordinary man now alive—a <
glance at his d;>torted foot confirmed it— ]
we rode 6n—part of our object in visiting i
Genoa had been to introduce ourselves to ,
him. Accordingly next day we wrote a i
short and polite note requesting leave to ,
pay our respects, to which wo received
one equally polite requesting tis to call
next day at two o.’clock.—We went, a
servant stood ready to receive us, and we
were shewn into a saloon where we wait
ed with beatiog heaits for about a minute,
when, he made his appearance, He is
about's feet 6 inches high—his body is
. small and his right leg shrunk, and about
two inches shorter than the other—his
head is beyond description fine. West’s
likeness is pretty good, but no other head
l ever saw of him is in the least like him.
llis forehead is high, and smaller at the top
than below, (the likenesses are vice ver
sa.) Hi* hair, beautiful brown ringlets, be
ginning to turn grey, he being as he told us,
35 years old. His eyes between a light
blue and grey—his nose straight but a little
turned up, his teeth most beautiful—hie
head is perhaps too large fob his body.
Who is he ? One of our company began a
set apology which be cut short by telling
us it was useless, for that he was very glad
to see ns, and then began to ask us ques
tions, 50 in a minute, without waiting for an
answer to any, and if by chance it wa
made be seemed impatient if it contained
more than two words. He flew from one
subject to another, and during about an
Lour and an half talked upon at least 200
subjects—sometimes with great humour—
laughing very heartily— at length looking
round he asked with a quizzical leer which
of us was from old Virginity. 1 bowed as
sent; then followed a catechism to which I
occasionally edged to an answer.—' 4 Have
you been in England ?—How long have
you been in Italy? Is Jefferson alive? Is it
true that your landlords are all Colonel* and
Justices? Do you know Washington Ir
ving ? He is decidedly the first English
prose writer except Scott.—Have you read
Bracebridge Hall ? (I answered no.) Well
if you choose, I’ll lend it you ? here it is.
Have you any American books to lend me?
lam very desirous of reading the Spy. I
intend to visit America as soon as I can
arrange my affairs in Italy. Your morals
are much purer than (hose of England,
(there 1 laughed,) those of higher classes
in England are become very corrupt. (I
smothered my laugh.) Do you think if I
was to live in America, they would ever
make me a judge of the ten pound court?
Is it true that an Englishman is always in
sulted in travelling through America ?”
We assured him not. He then told us
more laughable stories of the ridiculous bi
opraphies made of him especially by the
French. One of them represented him as
a gloomy miserable mortal, keeping the
skull of his mistress as a drinking cup—l
told him that was pretty much (be idea
that we had of him—as we considered him
a kind of Vampyre—(he laughed heartily.)
He said Bracebridge Hall was beautifully
written, but as for the characters they only
exist in the brain of W. I. There are no
old English gentlemen—no yeomen. The
English have lost every thing good in their
character? Their morals are particularly
bad. (Here I thought he really was quiz
zing us.) In fine he kept us for an hour
and a half constantly amused, and dismissed
us well satisfied with our interview. His
manners are most charming and fascina
ting, and it he is as they say a devil, he is
certainly’ a merry one.—Nothing gloomy
—his voice is low and soft and at first
sound’ a’fected. Now who is it ?—Who is
thal man about whom I have written a
whole letter? It is Cbiide Harolde, Cor
sair, Don Jusd, in plain English, Lord By
ron.”
Character o f some of our Modern Poets.
[ IVritten by an insane girl ]
Byron is a puel of might and desolation.
He loves to view nature in her haughtiest
aspect, her darkly blazing volcanoes, im
petuous cataracts and sky-canopied moun
tains. He walks unhurt “ amid the war of
elements fearlessly looking down upon
their maddening combats, he wields the
thunderbolt and commands the storm.
Scott loves the echo of the hngle-born,
and the joyous exhiliarating hurry of the
chase. To him the sweet breeze of the
morning, the sparkling stream, end heath
covered hill, are dearest.
Moore revels in the warmth and splen
dour of noon-day. His frank and glowing
spirit delights to bask in genial sun-beams;
to inhale the voluptuous sigh of summer
zephyrs, and the balmy breath of blooming
roses.
Most dear to Campbell is the gentle ma
jesty of the autumnal eveniDgs, when the
tears of heaven embalm the ■ expiring
flowrets, when the long sigh of departing
summer yet lingers on the air, and the
pale stars look silently on the quiet melan
choly of the scene below.
But thou, Southey, bard of sparkling fic
tion and mysterious beauty,what words can
describe thee. Thou who enjoyest life in
every element, wield unrivalled thy wand
of all-subduing magick—pursue thy flight
through tie cerulean regions—couch thy
self in the many coloured rainbow—dwell
the places of living flame, or wander
in the coral ball thou hast raided in the
ocean’s bosom—all are familiar to thee, for
thou commandest all.
knavery outwitted.
The following fact is related in a German {
paper as having recently occurred in War- 1
saw. v ,
An old Jew, thp proprietor of an hotel in <
that city, was entrusted with a casket con- 1
taining valuable property to the amount of j
fifty thousand pounds, belonging to an Eng- j,
lishman, who gave it to his host for greater i f
security. When the Englishman asked fori’
his property, the Jew denied having re-1 1
ceived any such thing. In despair, the j
Englishman proceeded to the Archduke ‘
Constantine, (brother of the Emperour Al- 1
exander) who summoned the hotel kepper I
before him. This prince used his utmost 1
efforts to induce the Jew to surrender the
casket, but in v*ain. Pardon was even of
fered, but to no purpose ; the Jew persist
ed in his denial. His Imperial Highness
then turned the conversation to some other
subject, and after some minutes drew out 1
his watch, and looking at it said, “I believe |
it is not right, let me see what o’clock it is
by yours.” When seeming to take a fancy
to it, the Grand Duke asked the Jew to
exchange watches, to which the Jew, un
suspicious of any design, consented. The
prince then withdrew into bis cabinet, and
despatched a trusty messenger with the
exchanged watch to the hotel, desiring him
to tell the landlady on the part of her hus- j
band, to send the casket immediately, a * he!
wanted it much in order to arrange some
business with the Grand Duke. The land
lady, on seeing her husband’s watch, sus
pected nothing,and instantly gave the cask
et to the Duke’s valet. The Grand Duke,
when he bad received the casket, offered
full pardon to the rascal provided he would
adroit his having received it; but the Jew
denied all knowledge of the casket, and
even swore to the truth of his denial. He
was then, by order of the Prince, handed
over to the Military Tribunal, who eenten
ced htm to be shot by twenty Jews. The
latter, however, executed the sentence so
badly, that the culprit suffered excruciating
pain for two hours.

A RARE PATRIMONY.
A young man of Nuremberg (says the
journal of that city) who had no fortune,
requested a lawyer, a friend of his, to re
commend him to a family where he was a
daily visiter, and where there was a hand
some daughter, who was to have a hand
, some fortune. The lawyer agreed, but
! the father of the young lady, who loved
money, immediately asked what patrimony
j the young man had. The lawyer said he
did not know, he would inquire. The next
time he saw his young friend he asked him
if he had any property at all. No, replied
he. Well, said the lawyer, would you suf
fer any one to cut off*your nose if be would’
give you 20,000 dollars for it. (What an
idea !) Not for all the world ! ’Tis well,
replied the lawyer, I had reason for asking.
! The next time he saw the girl’s father, he
i said, I have inquired about this young man’s
circumstances; lie has no ready money,
but he has a jewel for which, to my know
ledge, he refused twenty thousand dollars.
This induced the old father to consent to
the marriage, which accordingly took place,
though it is said that he often shook his
head when he thought of the jewel.
THE DEVIL’S INVENTION.
There is a spot in York, (Me.) says Dr.
Dwight's Travels, which from the following fact,
is called the Devil’s Invention : An inhabitant, of
fended with one of his neighbours, determined to
revenge himself by starving two of his children;
boys between six and nine years of sge. To ac
complish this design he built a small enclosure of
logs at the side of a precipice. The logs above
jutted over those below ; so a9 to make it impos
sible to escape by climbing. When the work
was finished, he persuaded the children to go out
with him to hunt bird-nests. Having led them to
this spot, he forced them into the enclosure, and
left them to their fate. Necessity can sharpen
the wits of children. The little fellows finding no
egress at the top, begin to look for one at the bot
tom; and, under the direction of mere nature,
scratched a passage beneath the logs, through
which they escaped. As they knew not the way
to the town, they wandered three days about the
fields and forests ; and were at length led by the
noise of the ocean to the shore. Here they were
found alive by some of the inhabitants, most of
whom bad, during this time, batn employed in a
diligent search for the little sufferers. This event
took place in 1676. As Philip’s war was ragiug
at that time, it is not improbable that the mischief
was contrived with an expectation that the dis
aster would be attributed to savage incursion ;
and cease so soon to be an object of puhli. k at
tention, that no effectual attempts would be made
to find them.
The villain who formed, and supposed that he
had done every thing to execute this diabolical
purpose, was sentenced to receive thirty stripes,
“ well laid on to pay the father five pounds,
and the treasurer of the county ten ; to pay the
charges of imprisonment, and to remain a close
prisoner during the pleasure of the court. Few
inventions have, 1 think, been more worthy of
the Devil than this.
Foreign Intelligence.
(We had only time in our last to give the ma
terial facts communicated by the late arrival at
Philadelphia of a vessel direct from Spain. The
following summary embraces all the important
particulars relating to the sudden removal of the
King and Cortez from Seville to Cadiz. ” They are
of considerable interest.]
From the National Gazette of August tut.
The King of Spain and suite arrived at Cadiz i
at half past six in the afternoon of the 16th of
June. The troops of the garrison, and the nation
al militia occupied the publick square, and an
immense crowd filled the streets, windows and
balconies. The municipal authorities received
the King at the entrance, where the governour of
the fortress delivered to him the keys of Ihe city
with the usual formalities, and he was congratu
lated on his arrival in the name of the Inhabitants.
“ The enthusiasm,” says the Cadiz Gazette,
“ which was manifested on this memorable occa
sion, confirmed the opinion which we entertained
of the patriotism and sensibility of the people ;
union and harmony were seen on every side—not
the least disorder or excess was committed—the
sounds repeated in innumerable acclamations
were those roost dear to every good Spaniard ; to
independence and liberty.”
The royal family were lodged in private dwel
lings, until the Palace at the Custom House could
be got Teady for their accommodation. The Cor
tez assembled at Cadiz on the 15th June. Eighty
eight members answered to the call of their names,
and most of the rest were announced to be near
to the city. The history of their previous pro
ceedings at Seville is this in abridgement. On
the 11th June, on the opening of the sitting, Se
norGaliano, one of the leading members, rose and
stated that it was no longer the period to talk,
but to act, and to draw the veil that hid their real
situation—that the country was in imminent dan
ger, but that the constitution might be saved as
before, and for this purpose it was requisite to put
the King and Cortes at once in a place of securi
ty. He proposed that the ministers should be
forthwith summoned to give an account of the re
al condition of things, and decide upon snatching
the king from the precipice over which perfidious !
advisers were impelling him. Arguelies then
moved that the sitting should be declared perma
nent until the object of the Cortes was achieved.
The ministers soon entered and one of them relat
ed that as soon as it was seen that the French
i might invade Andalusia, a council of generals and 1
\ other confidential patriots was convened, who
. unanimously decided that the means of prevent
ing the march of the French were wanting, and
that the Island of Cadiz was the only point to
which the .government and Cortes could be re
moved. The result was communicated to the
King, who referred it to the council of state, who
preferred Algeziras as the place of removal. The
minister concluded by mentioning that when he
left the King, his majesty had not come to o de
finitive resolution. It was then voted by the
j Cortes that the removal should take place the
I next day, to Cadiz, and that a committee should
be immediately formed to wait upon the King and
apprise him of their determination.
The committee appointed went on their errand
and returned in a short time; when the president
reported the following dialogue between himself
and the monarch. “ Sir, the Cortes being in per
i manent sitting, and having received information
i of the approach of the enemy, entreat your ma
jesty to remove with the Cortes to the Island of
Cadiz, for the security of your sacred person and
the national representatives.” His majesty re-
I plied, that neither his conscience nor the love of
‘ eleven millions of his subjects allowed him to
leave Seville. The president of the committee
rejoined that the political conscience of his majes
, ty was not responsible, because his publick con
duct was subject to that of his advisers, and that
the members of the committee could make con
i vincing observations to him, if what was then re
marked did not suffice. Xbe King only added—
I“ I have spoken ,” and retired. This report being
I heard by the Cortes, they resolved that the case
iof the moral iucompetency of the King provided
for iu the 187th article of the Constitution, hail
occurred, and that a provisional Regency should
be created for the purpose of exercising the execu
tive authority ouly as regarded the removal of the
King and Cortes. A regency of three members,
Valdes , Ciscar and Vigodet, was accordingly cre
ated and took the oaths of office at once, in the
midst of the most lively acclamations of joy from
the floor and galleries.
The Regency proceeded to make every neces
sary arrangement for a general departure; the
Cortes remained throughout the day and night of
the ltth of June, acting in concurrence; hut the
ministers made considerable difficulty about ac
cepting their offices anew from the Regency, and
did not yield until five in the morning of the 12th.
This circumstance occasioned great alarm among
the Constitutionalists. At eleven in the morning,
one of the Regency waited on the Kiug and an
nounced to him what had been done. He re
ceived the message with complacency, and an
swered that he was ready to set. out. Atone
o’clock, the regular troops and militia were under
arms to proceed, and the river was covered with
boats laden with effects of every kind. But the
King was agaiu seized with scruples, and this be
ing rumoured, the greatest agitation and confu
sion prevailed at Seville until near seven in the
afternoon ; when Ferdinand and the royal family
entered their carriages and were driven off, fol
lowed by the military escort. The exit was then
reported to the Cortes, who had not separated a
moment, and did not adjourn until nine o’clock.
The President, or Speaker, gave them a ren
dezvous at Cadiz on the 18th, or sooner, should
circumstances permit. On the lltli, an Irish gen
eral, Downtc, in. the service of Spain, and thirteen
others, were committed to prison as parties to a
conspiracy for the destruction of the constitution
al government.
W ithin a few hours after the departure of the
authorities and troops, the populace, instigated
and Jed, as it is affirmed, by a number of friars,
and a few other traitors before concealed, rose,
and during the three subsequent days, committed
the most horrid excesses. They plundered the
boats in the river, sacked the houses of many
who had gone with the government, robbed and
stripped naked persons of both’ sexes, dissolved
the constitutional municipality, and bid defiance
to the few battalions left to maintain order. The
following incident is related iu a letter dated Se
ville, 16th June—
“in the edifice called tbe Hall of the Inquisi
tion, there was a considerable number of boxes
of powder, guarded by,an officer and some soldiers
of the Queen’s regiment. The populace being
told thas the boxes contained money, rushed to
the Hall iu order to plunder them and murder the
guard ; but the officer, with unexampled courage,
set fire to the powder and blew up the Canaille
who had entered. Eighty persons, among them
some friars, have been taken out of the ruins.”
The Espectador of the 19th June, contains a
despatch to the government of Cadiz from Lopez
Bauos,general iij chief of the third army of opera
tions, (Abisbal’s) dated Seville, 16th June, in
which he states, that having heard of the disor
ders and anarchy reigning in Seville, he had pro
ceeded to that city with his troops by forced mar
ches, doubting, however, whether he should reach
it before the French army. On the 16th he ar
rived, was fired upon from the streets and houses,
routed the multitude without loss on his own part,
killed some ot them and restored order.
At the Ist meeting of the Cortes in Cadiz, the
Regency was dissolved, and the King re-habilita
ted. General Riego, in a letter published on tbe
19th June, blames the Regency for’ not having i
taken proper measures to prevent the occurrence
of anarchy at Seville, and mentions that tbe jour
ney of the royal family was so precipitate from
Seville to Alcala, as to resemble a disorderly
flight. The King was not permitted to alight at
all, but took refreshments in his carriage.
On the 18th,at Cadiz,the minister of war,ad in
terim, Don Stanislaus Sanchez Salvador,was found
dead, with his throat cut with a razor. The fol
lowing note written with his own hand, was found
in a window of his chamber.
“ Life is becoming every day more insuppor
table to me. The conviction of this truth has
driven me to the horrible resolution of putting an
end to my own existence. The only consolation
which I can leave to my estimable wife, to my
dear children and friends, is, that 1 descend to
the tomb with a conscience which does not accuse
me of ever having committed crime or oU'encc.
1 mean to despatch myself with a razor, and 1
mention this in order that no other person may in
any manner be accused or implicated. Night of
the 17th and 18th of June.”
The riots at Seville, the sudden invasion of An
dalusia by the French, and other circumstances
which affected his mind as Minister of War, are
cited as the causes of his suicide. But it was ver
bally reported, that at Seville he bad betrayed
the Constitutional cause, and endeavoured to con
ceal from his colleagues and Ihe Cortes, the ap
proach of the French to that city.
The Espectador of the 21st June, says, “ the
government has received information from Gene
ral Lopez Banos, that the French were to enter
Seville yesterday. The general was marching
with his forces towards Huelva. The government
is taking every necessary measure for the defence
of this island.”
Constitutional guerilla parties were forming in
every direction ; several of the provinces had
sent deputations to England to obtain arms and
ammunition ; Ballasteros was besieging Murvie
dro on the 4th of ‘ une, ami expected to be mas
ter of the fort in two days ; there was no indica
tion of discord or flexibility in the Cortes.
The captain of the schooner Tom, mentions
that the enthusiasm of the militia and people of
Cadiz wa9 directed to the Cortes and not to the
King.
AT a COURT OF INQUIRY of the 14th
Regt. G. M. held in Sparta, on the Ist Au
gust, 1823, ‘
Resolved, That the Senator and Representa
tives of >t.e county of Hancock be requested to
use their exertions to procure the passage of a law
by the next General Assembly, specially designa
ting the military dress of the officers of the seve

being of the opinion, that the existing law on this
subject is not sufficiently explicit ; and as it is at
present explained by the Brigade Inspector, the
Court deem a compliance with its requisitions
much more inconvenient and expensive than was
intended by the Legislature at the period of its
enactment.
Oh Motion, Ordered , That a copy of this Reso
