TWO Panthers together from Afric were seat, Each bound to the other by friendly cement ; But one on the passage unluckily dying, 'Twas long ere the Keeper, each art though applying, With uniform consummate skill and address, Could sooth the survivor's most poignant distress.

The Keeper approach'd—by the Jet while beguird, The Panther lay passively docile and mild, And thence, with the Boot retrograding his way.

Tint 2EW TARIFF orris UNITED StliTEi The following we give as a comparative view of the late law and the new one. Many items are not inserted, but it will be sufficient to chew the important changes. The principle of restricting trade for the encourage ment of domestic manufactures, which England is striving to, and would if possible, immediately,abolish,. is here acknowledged and. put into effect. This law is not to raise a revenue. The , Secretary of the United States Treasury is afraid'that the revenue will decrease.

The Birman army consists of occasional levies and a small permanent force of a very inferior description ; some undisciplined native Christians and renegadoes, who act as artillerymen ; an inconsiderable body of 'cavalry, and about 2000 infantry, as ill-armed and equipped as they are undisciplined. The levies are easily raised on the spur of the moment, as every man is liable to be called on for military service, and several orthe great proprietors of land hold their estates on rattail tenure. It is supposed that the largest armies ever as- . sembled by the Birmans have not exceeded sixty thou.-, sand men, though the numbers of that which lacer conquered Asam were much more highly rated in the; public accpunts. This, however, was probably an ex- , aggeration. The infantry are armed with swords and: muskets, the cavalry with a spear. The,htter are all natives of the mountains of Khasi, (Casey, to the east of Tipurati, Bengal). Their horses arc. wall and not' , entire, as it is ciistoniary with other Orientals. The fleet of war•boats carries from forty to fifty rowers each, armed with a sword and ai . lance. Thee boats, 500 in number, form a considesige gait Of the Bit man force ; each cart ies thirty soldier:tensed with 'muskets, and a piece of ordnance in the prow. tt The population of the Berman ensplre Is estremely fluctuating. The mean s of subsistence and materials for a habitable abode are so easily procured in tropical countries, that the lower orders of inhabitat ts hare a greater facility of withdra‘,ing from oppression than in colder regions less favoured by nature. ,Hence the large and frequent emigrations into the neighbouring Stated which occur in different parts of Asia ; hence, likewise the numbers who have within the last twenty years passed the eastern frontier of Bengal, and established themselves in any places which they found unoccupiedt The Barman territories were said, in 1795, to contain 8,000 towns and villages, and the whole number of tht people was estimated at 17,000,000 by Colonel Byrnes; but a few years afterwards that estimate was reduced to e,p00,000 by Captain Cox; and in the year 1809, nett the latter number appeared greatly to exceed the truth. Many' large towns had been reduced to paltry villages, and even the bants.of the Erawadi had been abandoned . by most of their inhabitants. Rats, silence, and solitude, had, even in the neigh bourhood of the capital, replaced the crowded villages and fleets of trading boats, which so lately shewed the resources and industry of the people. Many of these wretched beings were dragged from their homes and publicly sold, to satisfy the exorbitant demands of the Government; while the Members of the British Embassy were continually solicited to purchasi children whose mothers had no means of supporting them, and whose fathers had been forced to join the Imperial army. The oppressive mode of raising these levies was indeed one of the principal causes of the deplorable condition to which this empire had been reduced. Rebellion, in different districts, was the necessary consequence of such a state of things; and it, of course, materially in creased the horrors whictreeerywhere prevailed. Capt. Canning, the Ambassador to the Court of Ava, at that period, was informed that the number of registered houses did not exceed 400,000, which would-not give a population of 8,000,000, for a country which coofd easily maintain More than 80,000,000 inhabitants. • The conduct of some of these emigrants, the Mom is smog the causes of the hostile feeling of the Bit-mese towards as. THE GREEKS AND TURKS. MARSEILLES, JUNE JUNE I 1 6. - We yesterday* received news from Alexandria, in Egypt, which come down to the 22d May, and affirm positively that people continued still to speak of the embarkation of the Viceroy's troops; but that nothing 'certain was known on the subject, no troops having yet arrived in the neighbourhood of Alexandria. The corps which it was said was to be commanded II Ibrahim Paella, was encamped some leagues from Cairo, and at Mat time !'least was not making arty prep.rrations to break up. Ibrahim was with his lather at a country house near Cairo. It was affirmed, besides, that the troops to be embarked were not to be conveyed to the Morea or placed at the disposal of the Turkish Govern ment, but that they will go to Candia, where there is already a strong corps of Egyptian troops, to which all the advantages are to be ascribed that the Turks have hitherto gained in that island. Farther it is stated in these letters, that the corps In tended-0v embarkation does not exceed 6,ooo'men, and that theatotild be no idea of projects against Grace till &idle Is' who* subdued, In which these trot** ire id'iiilet. We have no certain inforaration respetiltig die Tuttish fleet under the Capitan Pacha: Hoviiver, it hut not , yet appeared near the Peloponne.sus, or at the entrance of the Egean Sea ; it 'MI loitered ;about Negropont, where it is said to have lost some vessels. Accounts brought by vessels speak of a new and sue cessful_attempt to land near Volo. In the Peloponnesas there was still great confusion. Colocotroni has again renewed hostile measures against the Central Govern ment ; but it was not believed that he acted in concert with the Turks. The unhappy differences that exist 17 might, however, be very fatal to the Greeks, if the Turkish operations were conducted with judgment and energy, which seems to be by no means the case. M. Dronot has now taken the command of the French navalforce in the Levant, instead of M. de Rigny, who has returned to Toulon.— Allgemeine Zeitung, July 11. INUNDATIONS IN BOHEMIA AND SAZONV. PRAGUE., JULY s. After thirty-siz hours' rain, commencing On the 26th of June, the waters of the Moldau, near our town, rose to a prodigious height; they were only two feet and a half short of the height to which they rose at the time of the breaking up of the frost in 1784.; but, as at that period, they were only increased to that extent:lly an enormous mass of ice, the swelling of the river now must be considered greater than the one at that period. The Moldau has not only impetuously broken over its own banks, but it has penetrated into the heart of the town, many of the streets of which it has inundated.— An immense quantity cf timber has been torn along by the violence of the waters from the princii.ahties of Schwartzenburg and Furtzenburgh. The rivers of Beraun, Miess, Sasawa, &c. hive made equathavoc, and their surface was so covered with wood that the water could scarcely be seen. Whole rafts, mote than fifty boats laden with timber, an in.men:e quantity of various kinds of goods, even some roofs of houses covered with men, besides carts drawn by 'oxen and horses, 'floated under the bridge of this town. —A small portion of these were stopped Leta eeu the arches, but the remainder was borne along further, and either broke or thrown over the banks into the fields and roads. Near the Hotel of the Invalids, and in the vil lages of Lieben and the Holzschowits, several boats n et e stopped, and a great quantity of wood was taken out of the water: among the rest, at Lieber, near a forge, 'before which an arm of the Moldau passes , the esd accumulated to such a height that the water conki not force it further: an empty boat was e ve n carried byTthe violence of the torrent over the roof of a house, wtich it completely drove in.
