POETRY.
A VISION OF HEAVEN.
Once with a fearful, trembling hand, ,
I drew aside the veil, to see
The glories of the heavenly land,
The brightness of eternity.
But soon the vision overcame,
And terror seiz'd my quaking frame.
I look’d—l saw—but Oh! the light.
The bliss, the splendour of the place,
The shilling host, who all unite
In songs before Jehovah's face!
A sudden dimness seiz'd my eye:
For who could look on Deity ?
One sight I caught of heaven’s high train,
One glimpse of my eternal home:
I heard one sweet, melodious strain.
And all iny powers were overcome.
I fell aghast! my senses fled !
Nor dared I raise again my head.
The sight, Oh ! ne’er shall I forget,
The song still vibrates in my ear:
When shall I reach that blest estate.
When in yon holy throng appear ?
Haste, Jesus, fetch my soul away,
To dwell with thee in endless day.
[Pcliit.
The following Lines on Pleasure, were written in
1822. by lit. Francis Baker, whose tragical
end has excited so much feeling.
TO PLEASURE.
Oh, Pleasure ! I have fondly woo’d.
But never won tby fleeting favour ;
My early suit was wild and rude,
And startled, thou didst fly forever.
Awhile I deeply sorrow’d o’er
The wreck of all that perish’d then ;
When wilder, sweeter than before,
Tby emile, though distant, beam'd again.
And my sad heart, though deeply chill’d,
Still panting sought thy lov’d embraces;
Trac’d ev’ry path thy vot’ries fill’d,
To meet thee in thy resting places,
! saw thee mantling warm in wine,
And deeply bathed my fever’d lip;
I saw thee pause at beauty’s shrine,
And surely hop’d tby sweets to sip.
But wine and beauty both conspir’d
To fill my soul with dark regret;
For scarcely won, theii sweets expir’d,
And pleasure fleeting, ’scap’d me yet.
And now with scarce a feeling warm,
When all should blaom in hearts unwasted,
I turn me from tby lovely form,
Thy joys unknowu, thy sweets untasted.
Then fare thee well, deceitful shade,
Though bright the charms that still adorn
thee ;
Too fondly press’d, they with’ring fade,
Aud all who follow, soon must scorn thee.

JOHN ABERCROMBIE,
Speaker of the House of Representatives.
ALLEN B. POWELL,
President of the Senate.
Approved, June 9, 1825.
G. M. TROUP, Governour.
From Iht Baltimore Amerisan.
The maxim never to despair, oi the republick,
was never more forcibly illustrated and verified
than in the glorious and decisive victory of Aya
chuco. Previous to that event, according to the
letter of Gen. Miller, a distinguished English of
ficer in the Colombian service, Canterac might
have insured certain triumph by declining a gen
eral battle. He was in possession of an army
vastly superior to that of his enemy, better disci
plined, and strengthed by continual re-enforce
ments, amply provided with every thing, anxious
for battle, and confident of victory. After Can
terac’s defeat at the battle of Junin, the victory
was not followed up, and he soon recruited and
received re-enforcements from Potosi. The vic
tors in their turn were then compelled to retreat,
and at Malara were attacked by Canterac, where
they lost five hundred men, all the baggage be
longing to the army, as well as their field pieces.
The republican army were thus compelled to fall
back—the bridges in their rear were broken
down, and escape was impossible. In this dilem
ma they repeatedly offered battle to Canterac,
which he prudently declined, confident that he
could acfcomplish the destruction of his enemy by
surer means. At length the Royalist General
placed himself at Guainanguilla and a further re
treat to the Patriot army was impossible—they
could not, says the officer named above, have re
mained in this position six days longer for want of
provision, from which they could not have advan
ced or receded without certain destruction. The
Indians in the neighbourhood were rising in favour
of the Royalists—the scouting parties and detach
ments of the Patriot army were cut off— theirown
troops deserting to the enemy. The Royalists,
flushed with success, and confident of victory,
attacked these brave men at Ayachuco, and the
result of tbi* battle was their entire defeat—the
capture of Canterac, Valdes, Carratala, Monet,
Ferraz, and four or five other generals: the entire
independence of Peru, and the triumph of repub
licanism over royalty.
Fluency of Speech. —The common fluency of
speech, in many men and women, is owing (says
Swift) to a scarcity of words; for whoever is mas
ter of language, and hath a mind full of ideas,w il
be apt, in speaking, to hesitate upon the choice
.of both; whereas common speakers have only
one set of ideas and one set of words to clothe
them in, and these are always ready ; so people
come faster out of church when it is nearly eop-
ty, (ban when a crowd ii at the door.” Dr.
Johnson has somewhere n similar remark.
Allegorical. —A traveller, setting out upon a
long journey, was assailed on the road by curs,
mastiffs, and half grown puppies, which came out
from their kennels to bark at him as he passed
along. He often dismounted from bis horse to
drive them back with stones and sticks, into their
biding places. This operation was repeated ev
ery day, and sometimes as often as twenty times
a day. The consequence was, that more than
half the traveller's time was consumed in chasing
those dogs and puppies. At last he was overtaken
hy * neighbour, who was going the same road,
but who had set out a long time after him. The
latter traveller was very much surprised to find
the other no further on his journey, and on hear
ing the reason. * Alas,’ said he, ‘ is it possible you
have lost your time, and wasted your strength in
this idle occupation ? These same animals have
beset me all along the road ; hut 1 have saved my
lime and my labour in taking no notice of their
harkings; while you have lost yours in resenting
insults which did you no harm, and in chastising
dogs and puppies whose manners you can never
mend.

AN introduction
TO THE
Critical Study and Knowledge
OF TBE
HOLY SCRIPTURES,
By Thomas Hartwell Horne, M. A.
IT will be printed from the London Edition of
1823, in four very large octavo volumes; it
will contain numerous Maps and Fac Similes of
Bible Manuscripts, and in short, every thing that
is contained in that edition, and will be very
neatly printed on good paper.
The first London edition of this work was pub
lished in 1818—the second in 1821—the third ia
1822 —the fourth in 1823. So great a sale of so
large a work on such a subject, is the best evi
dence that can be offered of its value. There
has yet been no American edition.
Vol. I. contains a Critical Inquiry into the
Genuineness, Authenticity, Uncorrupted Preset*
vation, and Inspiration of the Holy Scriptures.
Vol. 11. In Two Parts, treats, first on Sacred
Criticism; including an Historical and Critical
Account of (he Original Languages of Scripture,
and of the Cognate or kindred Dialects ; an Ac
count (with numerous Fac Similes) of the princi
pal Manuscripts of the Old and New Testaments,
&c. &c. In this part of the work, the History of
the Authorised English Version of the Bible is
particularly considered. The various Readings,
the Quotations from the Old Testament in the
New, the Poetry of the Hebrews and Harmonies
of the Scriptures, form a portion of this part.
Second Part. Os the Interpretation of
the Scriptures. Subsidiary Means for as
certaining the Sense of the Scripture, viz.—Anal
ogy of Languages; Analogy of Scripture ; Scho
lia and Glossaries; Subject-matter, Context,
Scope, Historical Circumstances, and Christian
Writers.
These discussions are followed by the applica
tion of the preceding principles—to the Historical
Interpretation of the Sacred Writings; the inter
pretation of the Figurative Language of Scrip/-
tore ; the Spiritual Interpretation of the ScripV
tures ; the interpretation of Prophecy, of Typer,
of the Doctrinal and Moral parts of Scripture, of
the Promises, and Threatenings therein contain
ed ; and the inferential and Practical Reading of
the Sacred Writings.
Vo) 111. contains an Outline of the Historical
and Physical Geography of the Holy Land. The
Political and Military Affairs of the Jewish and
other Nations incidentally mentioned in the Scrip
tures. Sacred Antiquities of the Jewe. The
Domestick Antiquities, or the Private Life, Man
ners, Customs, Amusements, tic. of the Jews and
other Nations incidentally mentioned in the Scrip
tures.
Vol. IV. is appropriated to the Analysis of
Scripture.
PRICE, TWELVE DOLLARS.
After publication, the price will be Sixteen
Dollars. January, 1825.
