The Count de Is (Wiwi, with some other Noblemen, is at the head of this party. The peasants are said to be in footle of this party, the leaders of which are already forbidden to appear at Court, although they have iwt yet made any attempts to enforce their pretensions. The new Crown Prince is very unpopular; as the Swedes hate the very name of a Dane. 'file appointment of the Prince of Au- Garrison° to the succession of the Crown of Stirlen, is supposed to have mk.a place at the and in consequence of a promise of BJNAP.IUTI to incorporate Norway with Sweden.

(By James Streit) Arise, 0 my love ! near yon dew-spangled bower, That waves its green boughs iu the soft-sighing gale ; The rings.' day breaks on the hawthorn's white Bower, That hangs ou the brow of the wood-cinetier'd vale. Frets ►is son-eireled throne, see Morning advances, troft.tinging the air with his rays as he goes ; And he mingles the blush with his smiles and his glances, That his kisses have stolen from t►e criaison'il.ey'J ruse. 0, thou soul of my soul--Eveliaa, arise ! More charming thy smile than the non's mildest hues; More modest the beam of thy love-kindling eyes, Than the lily, when rifled, she weeps in her dews. More serene is thy (see, with beauty's blush beaming, Than yen bine vault above, at the dawning of day, When the son's trembling light, o'er the azure arch streaming, Has embosoned the heavens in glory's pure ray. The richness of wild-honey dwells on thy lip, Such sweets lie euelos'd iu the bean's snowy Rowe►, And tempt the w Angel bee its soft nectar to sip, Ire it melts in the slew, or dissolves iu the shove:. Red, led, is that lip, with playful smiles glowing, As the strawberry that peeps r.t the foot of the thorn; Or the young.ey'il mom-rose, when in loveliness blueing, It pouts and it bends in the tears of the morn. More fragrant thy breath, than the apple's bright blossom, Whose perfume the zephyr ha'h storm as he goes, Whell trembling he pants on its half opeas'J Weems, And sighs as he leaves it to rifle the rose. 0 ! glassy soil black, as the jetty-windil raven, Adorn thy white shoulders, tby dark tames Row ; And thy look in the breeze, when thy i inglets are waving, Like shadows that move o'er a surface of snow Mere fair is thy neck, than the nimiu.beina in motion, Or the breast of the swan, w hen he floats in his pride, And his bosom; that rests on the slow-moving ocean, Is wantonly heav'd by the swell of t►e tide. Arise, Recline! the sunbeam descending, Lingers fondly with knees thy be iuty to meet ; And the heath and the wild. furze theii bloomy sweets blend ing, Have resciir'd all their odours, my fair one to greet. I will range o'er the grove, at the hoot u( you mountain, Where, in rapture's soft oetes, gently coos the ring-dove; And cull the froth dow'iets, that bloom sear you fountain, And lay all their sweets at the feet of my lose. 0, thou fair Quern of smiles, my soul's only treasure, 0, lifeof toy lite, in thy beauty arise!
